A Soldier Sho.u That
Is Different Coming to
18th St. Roof Theatre

The ghost of the Washington Square
Players stirs In the enterprise of the
Fort Ontario Players, which opens at
the 44th Street Roof Theatre to-mor-
row night. Not only is Sergeant Ed
ward Goodman, erstwhile director of
the Washington Square Players the
director of this production, but several
members of the old organization, now
khaki clad will be seen on the plays
that make up the bill. There is the
additional similarity that the entertain
ment is not the musical soldier show
to which New York has grown &C
customed, but bill Of four one-act
plays.
These plays are being given, by per-
mission of Colonel H. ID. Thomson
for the recreation fund for the sick
and wounded soldiers in General Hos
pital No. 5, at Fort Ontario. There
are more than 1000 men there now
and the number is growing all the
time, despite the advent of peace. The
stream of soldiers returning for re-
covery and convalescence will not
stop for Wpny months, and in the
meantime whe important problem Of
providing for their recreation and en-
tcrtainment at the hospital must be
solved. In addition to the soldier play
ers there are several women who
have offered their service to play
women's parts in these plays. One of
them is Adelina O'Connor, wife of
Colonel Thomson, the commanding
officer. She was an actress before her
marriage short time ago, and played
in "The House of Glass" "The Yellow
Ticket" in the repertory company at
Northampton, Mass, the only munich
pal theatre in this country, and other
stock engagements Another is Izetta
Jewel, who was leading woman with
Otis Skinner, John Drew and James
K. Hackett, and we'll known actress
IN stock in Washington, D. c., until
her retirement from the stage a few
years ago when she was married to
the late Congressman Brown, of West
Virginia.
The four one-act plays With make
up the bill are "The Flying Prince" a
fanciful play on the theme of the
sleeping beauty, written by Peggy
Wood, the popular actress, in collabo-
ration with her father, Eugene Wood;
"Kid," by E. E. Levinger; Garry On"
by Sergeant Edward Goodman and
Pierre Loving; and "The Instrument
of God" tragedy Of the war, also by
Edward Goodman. Sergeants Glenn
Hunter and Jay Strong, of the old
Washington Square group, will take
leading parts in the plays.
The plays will be given for one week
There will be matinees Wednesdays and
Saturday.

The Lion S Share
Goes to Willard Mack

Whether 1t is something in the life
or really the love Of playing do not
know. Every once in while I give
up acting, intending to stay away
from it and devote myself to my writ
ing, but I always drift back. This
time l am the most surprised person
to find myself acting again. Cyril
keightley had been originally cast for
the part, but at the last moment he
demanded several changes in the part
and the management asked me to step
IN. SO / am acting again"
There was pause while Mr.. Mack
at the washstand vigorously rubbed
soap into his eyes and ears-and l
used it for rapid approach on Mr..
Meehan.
Where did you find the type for
your character in this play?"
"If you'd been born on Eighth Ave-
nue." said Mr.. Meehan, you'd have no
trouble in finding type"
How did you begin to act ?"
why, had lost my job as a delivery
boy and I was just standing around in
front of the Grand Opera House on
Eighth Avenue when some one came
out and asked me if l didn't want to
come in and be super. The play
was THE Crimes of Paris and l had
to jump off sinking ship on to a
mattress. The pay was two and q
half"
whatever you say" said Mr.. Mack,
who by this time had emerged from
behind his towel, abe sure to say that
think Mr.. Meehan's playing of the
part the most satisfactory thing about
the play. I could not wish to have it
done better"
That finished the interview. I still
had the feeling that l had not tapped
the flow of copy which could come
from the story of the transition of
Mr.. Meehan from a super and bur.
lesque actor to a finished PLAYER OF
comedy but that may be another story

O'Higgins, produced under the auspices
of the Stage Women's War Relief with
the enthusiastic approval and indorse-
ment of President Wilson for the pur-
pose of raising money to assist the
thousands of orphans left in the wake
of the war in the countries of the AL
lies in Europe, will be given it's first

title, has volunteered to appear and
make sketches between the acts, and
there are several other "added feat
ures" promised.

fishing the play, illustrated with por-
traits of the members of the cast, for

The presentation of the play in this
way it is expected will arouse the in
terest and patriotic enthusiasm of anna
teur dramatic organizations in all parts
of the country and induce it's produc-
ton by them in every city and town in
the United States. The play, with all
the stage business OF the original pro-
fessional performance, will be given
tree OF charge to any such organization
that may apply for it, the only condi-
ton being that the proceeds of anv per

be donated to a general fund for the
orphans of the Allies. Numerous ap-
pllcations have already been received
by the Stage Women for the play from
societies and clubs in various parts OF

thuslasm and community interest.

perty owners. but 1t is felt this can. be
easily obtained. In the event the
council adopts the plan suggested 1t
would be possible to hold street de-
dicatory ceremony during the Round
Up in case such program is found
practicable
The following local people were
questioned by the East Oregonian rep
fresentative today with the results as
here given.
I Sheriff Taylor-Out of town.
/ w. l. Thompson-I think the
change of the name to Rlancett street
would be a very fine thing to do. 1t
would honor Blancett besides giving
the town a name typical of PendIeton.
AS it stands. Ash street is a misno-
mer''
Mayor Vaughan-'The idea is not
particularly popular with the council.
1t would involve some little difficulty
as it would require a new ordinance
besides the consent of the people who
live. on Oak street"
w. f. Brock-"Aside from providing
"a means of dedicating the street to
Blancett's memory, the new name
would prove a much more suitable
landmark than the name of Ash.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-08-24

Such a name means nothing while a
street named for some particular per-
son is easy to keep in mind"
j. r. Raiey4.-f think that without
doubt something should be done 10
commemorate the memory of Dell
Blancett because he was the first OF
Pendleton's citizens who met his death
in the war. Still, on the other hand,
there will be so many other men from
here who viii also give their lives that
think ii might perhaps be better 70
wait until the war is over and then
erect a monument to their memory
J. J. Hamley-"I think that the
changing of the name would be very
appropriate thing to do. 1 can't see
why there should be any objection 10
the idea"
Judge c. Fl. Marsh-'I think the
plan is a good one and should be car
ried OUT
]. F. RObinson-HA man who dies
for his country is entitled to honor
for it and am in favor OF naming a
street for Dell Blancett.

there is the pallor OF anemia, which
