MONTGOMERY TELLS
OF COOS TRAVELS

In a recent issue of the Coos Bay

cry, formerly of this city, tells OF the
novelties of motor ride there. The
article of the Times follows:
That one cannot motor far in the
Coos Bay country without being i'm
pressed with the fact that he is far
from the maddening crowd, "is the
sentiment expressed by James E.
Montgomery, who returned this week
from Portland. He went over the Coos
Bay highway on the auto stage which
is running daily from Myrtle Point to
Roseburg.
When less than three miles from
Myrtle Point a young buck jumped
from among bunch of calves at the
roadside and ran ahead of the car for
half mile down the road. Just as the
deer made clean jump over a five
foot fence and disappeared in the brush
a group appeared on the road ahead
which was still more typical of the by.
ways of the west. =.

1T was such rich combination that
one looked about unconsciously for the
moving picture camera. A very dimin:
utive burro with ears foot and half
long was being led by an old man with
hair as uncut as Buffalo Bills and with
goatee as carefully barbered. His high
boots with little horseshoes set in the
heels, made tracks exactly reverse to
those of the donkey he was leading.
His shirt was open at the neck and a
blue bandana was worn about his
bronzed throat.

much that his wife or his sister was get
ting initiated into that point of view on
such matters. He wouldn't be tickled to
death to find he had ii in him TO laugh
himself. So the wise playwright always
keeps the subconscious viewpoint in mind.
There's one other thing-a man will
not mind laughing at something, even II it
is, strictly speaking, a little vulgar, which
he has been in the habit of laughing at.
There are even national habits of laugh
ing. so that what is offensive in France is
not so in America, and the other way
around. AS an example, we in America
do not object to laughing at drum nness.

pitiable, instead of laughable--but II does
not strike us that way, as people.

has let himself get to a point of absolute
ineptitude. His colossal clumsiness is, to
me, not unlike that of very young and
ambitious puppy, If he were, on the other
hand, running his career or vitally injur-
ing some other person or persons de-
pendent upon him, l should find him any
thing but funny. He would never have
gotten into my play. l believe that this
same point OF view prevails in the great
American public.
This brings me TO what was in the back
of my head a few minutes ago, when l
mentioned French farce. Just as we do
not object to intoxication on the stage,
the French people do not object TO the sex
situations which give them such bad
name on this side of the water. Their ma
tional habit is to laugh at the sex farce.
You can reach the French public with it
and it isn't unwholesome, because you are
not bunting something they want to keep
fine. do not say that their point of
view is either better or worse than ours.
l merely maintain that 1t is different. and
that we should only judge it after we

they are always made uncomfortable by
a glib. farcical treatment of things they
have always held to be personal private,
and, you may say, sacred. It's pretty
safe rule in writing farce or comedy never
to try to make people laugh in the
theatre at something they would not
laugh at out of it.

thinking man or woman, who encounters

them off his mind as soon as possible.
Certainly, he wouldn't laugh. Well, 1t is

MRS. FISKE WINS
COMEDY SUCCESS

actually cheered. It was very much as
IL crowd of music lovers, who had for
years heard nothing but ragtime ditties,
were suddenly face to face with Melba
I'm her prime.
The play Mrs. Fiske has elected to re-
appear in is curious little concoction,
made by Marian de Forest from "A novel
of Pennsylvania Dutch life by Helen Mar
tin, called "Barnabetta." The Pennsylva-
MIA Dutch are comparatively virgin ma
terial for the American dramatist, and
doubtless folk comedy as quaint as Bun
ty could have been made about them. We
are told that it was to be found in the
novel. But either the dramatist or Mrs
Fiske has elected to follow another course
instead of writing in a vein of folk come
dy, the dramatist has written in a vein of
burlesque. gentle burlesque which pre-
serves character outlines, to be sure, but
which Is burlesque none the less. In other
words. the play is not written in the
key of the modern Manchester school or
Irish school. but rather in the key of the
American character comedies OF an earlier
day. This would he a great pity If any
body but Mrs. F'iske were the star. As il
is. however. we are inclined to think Il
was the wise course, Mrs. Fiske was out
for a romp, and when she is out for a

The part Mrs, Fiske plays is that OF
an elocutionist from Iowa, a quaint crea-
ture who lectures on womans rights
bursts out into frequent quotations from
Shakespeare and other poets, dresses like
a freag, and has, in short. a somewhat
ridiculous self-msde culture" 1t is

woman's heart is so good, her ways so
brisk, her mind so alert, her sympathes
so warm. Her sympathes are so warm,
in fact, that she answers matrimonial
advertisement and comes to Reinhartz,
Penna., to mary n Pennsylvania Dutch
man who has killed two wives already
with overwork, solely that she may moth
er his poor, overworked daughter, Bar
nabetta, and incidentally bring the up
lift to the other down-trodden females of
this community.
Mrs. Fiske enters on the scene after the
character of Barnaby Dreary, the Dutch
man, is established and we have seen the
slavery of his drudge of a daughter and
the masculine selflshness of his two lunk-
ing sons. The posture of circumstances
may be far fetched-who cares? 1t gets
Mrs. Fiske into this household, and any
reader with spark of imagination can
gather the fun which ensues as she pro-
ceeds on her tanning and uplifting proc
css. 1t Is a performance of eNtraordi-
nary comic briliance, done in bold,
strong outline, and it's appeal heightened
by the fact that Mrs. Fiske has put oppo-
site her, in the character of Barnaby
Dreary. John Cope, an accomplished and
forceful actor. She is one of those wise
players who knows that performance
does not really shine by contrast in a
poor cast, but by comparison in n good
cast. Inc climax Oh run lS reacned at the

Mrs. Fiske Is too fine an actress not
to create a real character out of the Iowa
elocutionist. She is consstant, and she
brings out with consummate ease when
necessary the lurking woman's tender
ness. But the part. like the play, is
none the less exaggerated, delicately bur-
lesqued. 1t is sort of comic bravura,
and executed with all the brilliance of
a Melba singing trills, a Kreisler with
his magic bow. The lovers of acting in
America-and the movies have not de-
stroyed them all-will flock to this per-
formance. and they will be richly repaid.
