AT THE THEATERS
at Pays to Advertise y

Conan and Harris are in the field
with another funny farce called 1T
Pays to Advertise" which is to be pre-
scented here at the Grand tonight. 1T
Pays to Advertise" has been described
as a Laughing riot" and it has the
unusual distinction of holding a record
of a years run at the George NJ. Conan
theater in New York. where it was re-
ceived with unequivocal acclaim by
the critics and public alike. who are
unanimous in expressing the belief
that it is one of the funniest enter
tainments that has been offered in
many years. but also that it contains
an underlying thought that gives it
special significance and adds to the
timeliness of its interest.
All ordinary farces are described as
laughable, but it becomes difficult to
adequately relate the joyous response
that invariably greets 1T Pays to Ad-
vertise." 1t is enough to say that not
often in the course of a season is 1t
given to theatergoers to see so cleverly
written and well acted a farce, the
cast of which has been chosen by
Conan and Harris for their individual
fitness for the several roles they are
called supon-to visualize.

If the hustIing city of Topeka
doesn't take up with the Oliver Play
ers in THE Village Schoolmaster,"
which was presented for the first time
last night, and patronize it according
to its worth then Topeka needs a
municipal doctor to see what ails
her" An extraordinary performance
was given. Mr.. Knorr as the school
master was a real flesh and blood
character. Miss MADEIRA was seen as
the heroine and left nothing to be
desired. The balance of the company
gave excellent pOrtraya1s of their re-
spective parts. There will be a popu-
lar price matinee tomorrow of the
present play. Starting Thursday night
Traffic in Souls will be presented.
This is one of the greatest white slave
plays that has ever been produced

my Home Town Girl"
John Hyams and Leila Mcintyre
have an established reputation for
putting on good musical comedies
My Home Town Girl" at the Grand
last night was more than good. 1t
was the sort of production which left
behind a genuine pleasure, as the
comedy had an abundance of clever
lines. and plenty of harmonious music
as we'll.
The members of the company
should at least be complimented high
ly on their pronunciation of New
York. AS a general rule. actors and
actresses insist on saying New Yawk,
and no matter how unpublished or un-
known the stage person is, that is the
invariable rule. That was one of the
pleasing things ABOUT My Home Town
Girl" There was no affectation in the
show. Hyams was perfectly natural
with his debonair jauntiness and Miss
Mcintyre was the picture of sweet
prettiness.
The company and chorus filled the
bill. OF the latter, perhaps Louise
Morrelle, the riding girl" had the
| best stage presence. Roy Purviance,
in the character of Dudley Van Court
land, was clever. Purviance made a
creditable Van CORTLAND Edna Won

''EverywOman," An Extraordinary
Production.
Henry w. Savage believes in CIV
ing amusement-lovers who do not
happen to reside in and around New
York the same privilege of seeing
worthy performances Of his produc-
tions IS the New Yorker himself
Therefore in sending on tour his i'm
mense production of "Everywoman"
he has not cheapened the cast or cut
any of the trappings. The produc-
ton as whole, just as 1t was seen
on Broadway, New York, for two
years, will be offered at the oregon
theater on Tuesday December s.
The effort to tour a production
the size Of "Everywoman" is an ex-
traordinary one. In the first place
there are really three separate or
ganizations merged into one There
is a large dramatic company of 81
speaking characters. Then there is
grand opera contingent with solo
lists and chorus; beyond this there is
musical comedy company with
principals and chorus. Added to all
this there is a scenic production
which requires two sixty foot cars
for its transportation from city to
city; tons Of mechanical, electrical
effects, and costumes which were
specially manufactured in Paris for
its production. Then to round out
the whole, there is symphony or
chestra to render the score that was
especially composed for "Everywom-
an by George Whtef'eld Chadwick.
dean Of the New England Conserva-
tory of Music, Boston It is claimed
that the production Of "Everywom-

CRISIS IN ENGLAND RUMORED;
 ASQU|TH MAY QUIT
Newspapers Are Carrying Stories That Great Shake Up Is to Take Place
 Soon

London, December 2.-The political crisis, which is the newspaper sensation of the hour. is generally believed to mean the future control of all war measures. both military and economic. by cabinet directorate of five advised by General Sir William Robertson. chief of the im- perialS staff. and Admiral Sir John R. Jelicoe, first sea lord
 The question of the resignation of Pre- mier Asquith, to give place for David Lloyd George or Andrew Bonar Law. also is discussed, but that Mir. Asquith will resign appears improbable. The premier had long audience with the King to- day. which furnished basis for the afs- ernoon papers to predict his resignation But it was pointed out that he would con- suit with the King, as a matter of course. over any important government changes.
 A war council was formed in the cabi- net last year. but the minimum number of five. which MT. Asquitha then au- nounced. has been exceeded. and the popular impression is that the council has been largely a failure because all of is decisions were subject to debate and rat itication by the full cabinet.
