CLOTHING ASKED
FOR RELIEF WORK

Spare clothing is wanted to help
clothe the near naked people OF
the Near East and May "a has
been designated as nationwide
Bundle day.
Five hundred thousand people,
at least one-fifth of the present
population OF the Near East have
been clothed in the cast off Amerl-
can garments during the past
year" says ]. j. Handsaker, state
director of Near East relief, who
spent last summer in the Near
East and southeastern Russia,
with the exception of food there
is no need greater than that OF
clothing. Therefore we are ask
ing that the people of Oregon re-
spond to the appeal for warm
clothing and shoes. Last year 10
tons of clothing was sent from
Oregon to the Near East.
New clothes wear out fast
enough. The supply of half worn
garments is now completely ex-
hausted. Numberless men, wom-
enand children are destitute OF
clothing and thousands have nc
covering whatever save the thin
nest rags. The children OF the
Near East relief orphanages, un-
der the direction of the relief
workers manufacture much OF
their own clothing, but the major
ity of them and almost the entire
population of Armenia will haV>
to dress in American secondhand
clothes against next year,
Schools, churches, clubs anc
lodges and other organized group
all over the state are making tht
appeal for spare clothing throug
speakers, motion pictures, Illus
trated circulars and the press. l.
is also to be presented to colthinl
concerns whose shelves and store
rooms may be cleared of shopworL
garments that are too poor to sell
and too good to throw away.
What is needed? Just what
would be needed in Oregon if TO-
seven years no clothing, cloth o.
even buttons, needles and thread
had been available.
If no local bundle station hss
been arranged, clothing may be
sent direct to Near East Relief

.CHAUNCEY OLCOTT
NEXT ATTRACTION

Speaking of great actors that
/ have known" said A. l.. Erlang-
er, Americas 8 foremost producing
manager, tone of the greatest
actors on the English speaking
stage today is our own Chauncey
Olcott. II Chauncey had not been
born with "a lark in his throat
to delight the hundreds of thou
sands who have listened TO him
sing those haunting melodies of
Ireland and the Irish, his distin-
guished ability as an actor-as an
exponent of the spoken word
would be more generally apprais-
ed at it's true worth. We, of the
theatre, trained to observe and
measure professional worth, know
that he is of the aristocracy Of the
stage, that he is thoroughly
schooled, experienced, cultured
actor, with gift of imagination
and a dramatic instinct only
found in the geniuses of the mimic
art.
Have you seen him in Ragged
Robin?' II you haven't, and you
enjoy fine acting, free from all
ranting, mouthing and scene
chewing, free from all cheap give
us your kind applause tricks Of
the stage, there Is genuine treat
in store for you"
I'm the first act, as Robin, the
happy go lucky wandering min
strel you will see light comedy
scenes played to perfection-with
deftness of touch and subtlety
that is refreshingly delightful.
The opening of the second act, in
scene with the servants of the
household, you will find him a
master of low comedy--indulging
in buffoonery that eompels you to
hearty laughter, but not at the
price of your self respect. This
rollicking scene is succeeded by
one of pathos free from all melo-
dramatics, and merging into the
big moment of the play, where his
depletion of outraged manhood,
grief and suffering leaves you
spellbound with admiration for
the actor and his art.
"But what has his singing to
do with all this? you ask. Listen:
You know that an Olcott audi
ence would start riot If he did
not respond to his curtain calls,
And once before the curtain, he's
like a big boy on visit to fond
friends, now no actor could be
proof against the affection that
he can see reflected in the faces
out there so when they call for
the songs OF other days, he glad
ly obIiges. The outcome of it all
is---his admirers get to enjoying
his little visit to them 80 hugely,
that their attention becomes di-
verted from the actor and the
play to Olcott-the man of their
affections"
