THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1907. 11 THEATERS SOON TO OPEN FOR SEASON Good Line of Attractions Will Be Seen in Portland the Coming Winter. EASTERN STARS-TO APPEAR Klaw & Erianger and Shubert's Or ganization Have United Local Playhouses Are Under going Renovation. - BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. Now ts th season of the year when the regular and casual patrons of the theater begin to speculate as to what Is In store for them during the regular theatrical season, which opens late in August or early in September. Enthu siastic matinee girls, veteran first nighters, graybeards and children begin to feel the hunger for the stage. The music of open-air orchestras, the first straggling lithographs and "three sheets." the signs of industry among the workmen engaged in the annual playhouse cleaning; these and a dozen other tokens that the actors' vacations are nearing an end and that soon again the big curtains will slide up on fairy land, incline the public mind toward the theater. This Is not quite so marked in Port land, where a considerable number of attractions are offered the year round, but even hore with three of the prin cipal theaters closed during the heated spell there is a marked revival of in terest. The Heillg, Baker and Empire have been dark for weeks. The Heillg will lead the others in reopening and will begin lis annual season of Klaw & Erianger attractions on August 22 with Ezra Kendall in his new play, "Swell Elegant Jones." Through the amalga mation Of the two rival syndicates the offerings will be just the best ever seen here. The Shubert Brothers, con trolling 40 or more first-class attrac tions, have united with Klaw & Erianger and many stars and productions- that were formerly barred from Portland and the Pacific Coast gener ally are now available. Some of the best of these, in addition to the pick of the "trust" shows, will entertain those who patronize the Heilig. The season will be a long one, continuing into next July with few vacant nights. Meanwhile the theater is being treated to extensive repairs, "is being renovat ed and greatly Improved in every way. Attractions at The Heilig. Following is a partial list of the bookings in the order of their coming: Richards & Prlngle's minstrels, Cyril Scott in "The Prince Chap," Louts Janv.'S in "The Comedy of Errors," "The Mayor of Toklo"; William Faversham, in "The Squawman," "The Prince of Pil sen," "In Old Kentucky."

"45 Minutes From Broadway"; De Wolf Hopper, In "Happy land"; Frank Daniels, in "The Tattooed Man," and Grace Qeorge. It is significant that many of these at tractions will play here a week and a number of them for - five and six per formances instead of three and four as formerly. This indicates that the big managers nave awakened to the fact that . Portland is in the front class of show towns. Activity at the Baker. The Baker is a scene of great activity, where a large force of mechanics is at work redecorating and remodeling that cosy home of crack stock companies. Manager Baker is spending several thou sand dollars In making his theater more comfortable and attractive to his loyal clientele. Xew carpets are being laid, the woodwork Is being repainted, new hang ings put in place and radical alterations both In front of and behind the scenes. The personel of the Baker stock com pany was announced some time ago and the list of players to be presented. How ever, for the purpose of freshening the public mind the Information will bear repeating. Here are. the names of the players: Miss Marlon Barney, leading woman; Austin Webb, leading man: Louise Kent, second woman; Frank B. Camp, heavy man: Marlbel Seymour, in genue; Donald Bowles, leading juvenile; William Dills, Howard Russell. Mina Crolius Gleason, William Gleason, Roy Bernard, Dorothy Bernard, James Glea son, Lucile Webster. W'llllam Bernard, stage director; Earl Dwire, assistant stage director. Manager Baker also announces the fol lowing list of plays: "The Woman In the Case," "The Jungle." "The Pit." "Sweet Kitty Bellairs," "The Girl With the Green Eyes," "The Ensign." "The Climb ers." "The Manxman," "Her Own Way," "The Heart of Maryland," "The Love Route." "The Darling of the Gods." "A Royal Family," "Madame Butterfly," "Zaza." "The Eternal City," "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall." "The Cherry Pickers." "Glittering Gloria." "Marriage of William Ashe." "All on Account of Eliza." "Raffles." "Mills of the Gods." "Janice Meredith." "Graustark," "Soldiers of Fortune." "The Suburban." "A Trip to Chinatown." "A Stranger in Xew York." "A Hole In the Ground," "A Bunch of Keys." "A Milk-White Flag," ' The Proud Prince." "Barbara Frletchie," "The Liars," "Mrs. Dane's Defense." "When We Were Twenty-One," "Diplo macy." "In the Palace of the King." "More Than Queen," "Sag Harbor." "Ad ventures of Lady Ursula." "The Still Alarm." The Baker will re-open Sunday, Sep tember 1, the attraction being Henry Ar thur Jones' great play "The Liars." Usual Plays at the Kmptre. The Empire will throw open its doors about the same time and until next Sum mer will offer -the Stair-Havlin line-of popular price shows. As in the past Mil ton Seaman will act as manager as well as attending to his duties as secretary of the Baker Theater corporation. The first show up at the Empire will be "A Thor oughbred Tramp," one of the best of that kind. Meanwhile the Marquam continues to draw a large patronage with the Stock-well-MacGregor Company offering a fine grade of entertainment. The Summer season will end in less than three weeks, when the Stockwell-MacGregor Company will probably go on tour. What the poi Icy of the Marquam will be during the coming season no one seems to know and all depends on the return of S. Morton Cohn, general manager of the enterprise. Mr. Cohn is evidently in the East, New York presumably, organizing either a dramatic or musical stock company. He 13 expected to return at any time and will likely have something interesting to impart. In the meantime the Califor nians will come in on September 2 for six weeks of light opera. The Lyric, Star, Grand and Pantages never close Winter or Summer. They are each doing "a land omcebusiness" and are looking forward to even better busl ness when Fall sets in. The Allen Stock Company, which has occupied the Lyric for several months, will leave soon and will be replaced by a. stock company which Manager Murphy is personally or ganizing. Herbert Ashton, a director, well and favorably knov.n here, will have charge of the stage. The present company at the Star will close at the end of next week and will be succeeded by the Dick French Company which comes here from Tacoma. The French organization is said to be a hum mer and will doubtless prove as popular as the present company has been. Both the Lyric and the Star promise the best line of plays they have ever been able to secure. There will be little to vary the regular routine at the Grand and Pantages, those excellent vaudeville theaters. They could hardly offer anything better at present prices, the bills week in and week out being worth much more than the low rate of admission. Pretty soon the actors will return from the Summer resorts and mountains and down on the farm where they have been rusticating and things in stageland will take on their wonted activity. "THE ALASKAN" MAKES BIO HIT Pacific Coast Play Well Received In Xew York. Reports received from New .York show that "The Alaskin," which opened at the Knickerbocker, one of the fin est of the Broadway theaters, on Mon day night, made a hit and Is in a fair way to enjoy a long metropolitan run. Edule Weil, who is John Cort'a Eastern representative, sent the following tele gram immediately after the first per formance, as follows: First performance of "The Alaskan," just over, was as great a success as any of Its sponsors dared hope for. Knickerbocker Theater was crowded to the doors with a typical Broadway first-night audience, in cluding a number of prominent managers' apd both city and out-of-town critics. Th comedy points were Instantly taken up by the audience, while the music, according to entr'acte talk, is almost of a light opera Quality. Manager Cort feels certain of a s extended run on Broadway and stated that preparations for tfe organization of a sec ond company would be begun at once. At tractiveness of stage pictures and uniqueness of eettings and character drawing largely commented on. Blethen and GIrard feel certain that they have written a success, but will not go to bed until they have read' the morning paper criticisms. . "The Alaskan" is John Cort's newest enterprise and is a "made-on-the-Coast" musical comedy, with its locale principally in. Alaska. The book and lyrics were written by Joseph Blethen, of Seattle, and the music by Harry GIrard, a composer and comic-opera singer of considerable note, who ap pears in the leading role. Portland is particularly interested in "The Alaskan," for the reason that all the scenery was turned out by William Graybach, the local scenic artist, from his stiidto in this city. Those who saw it here in the progress of making -and after it was completed declared It to he the most beautiful scenery they had ever seen. It wag through Mr. Gray bach's work on the production of Juno McMillen Ordway's "Oregon" at the Baker last Winter, that Mr. Cort be came interested in his work and com missionerd him to make the production of "The Alaskan." There are many other reasons for local interest in the piece, among them being Mrs. Anne Beatrice Sheldon's debut as a profes sional. Mrs. Sheldon has an Impor tant role and no doubt contributed con siderably to the success of the premiere. For a number of years she was a well known choir and concert singer here and has a large acquaintance. Teddy Webb, who became a big favorite here as comedian of the San Francisco Opera Company earlier in the Summer, has the leading comedy role, that of Smallherry Strander, manager of a stranded "Florodora" company. This is the first time the gold rush to Alaska has ever been utilized for musical purposes and the promoters of it felt that this fact would carry it to some extent. Portland will see "The Alaskan" at the Heillg later in the season. NEW COMPANY FOR MARQUAM The Californians Will Give Sis Week9 of Light Opera. President Emanuel May, of the Im perial Amusement Company, owners and managers of the Marquam Grand, returned yesterday from California and made, the announcement that he had secured the Californians, well known as a musical company of merit, for a six weeks' engagement at the Marquam. commencing Monday. September 2. Tom Carl, who for years was identi fied with the Bostonians, is director of the company, and D. M. Dewey is man ager. Dick Ferris, the well-known stock manager. Is also interested In the enterprise. The company comes high ly recommended, having played long and successful engagements at San Francisco and Los Angeles. It Is at present playing in Santa Cruz. The repertoire to be used here Includes "The Serenade." "Robin Hood." "The Geisha," and "The Girl and the Gov ernor." This engagement will follow immediately the closing of the Stockwell-MacGregor Company. TROUTDALE TO BE A CITY Petition for Incorporation Filed With the County Clerk.

IS WONDERFUL PLACE It Promises to Be One of the Most Remarkable Caverns - ; Ever Found. OREGONIANS EXPLORE IT Joaquin Miller and Party Venture far Into Its Interior Recesses and Venerable- Bard Dubs It the "Marble Halls of Oregon." In Southern Oregon, hugging the Cal ifornia line near the famous oia mining camp of Kerby, is a xave that promises on further exploration to be the greatest in the world. It Is in the Slsikyou res ervation, apout 75 miles from Crater Lake and eight miles, from sriggs mines u Sucker Creek. ' This wonder of marble and crystal beauty has just been explored to greater depths oy a party composed oi jumu. MilleV, C. B. Watson and Jefferson Myers. Mr. Myers returned to Portland yester day, enthusiastic with what he had seen. "It is truly wonderful, that place is, ' he said. "We went over all that is now known of it. Joaquin Miller named- it 'The Marble Halls of Oregon.' "We went from Kerbyville under the guidance of the two men who have spent 20 years in and around the splendid place, John Kincald. of Williams, Oregon, and Frank M. Nlckerson, of Kerby. We left Portland August 1 and Just got deck. "From Kerby we went to the mouth of Cave Creek, then up that stream over a good foot trail seven miles to the mouth of the "Hans. tiere mo River Styx comes -right out of the mountain and tumbles over a fall of 20 f.ai Thl la the lower entrance. It i about as large as an ordinary door in the face of a marble clllT, 300 feet high and 600 feet long, and clear wnne. beautiful sight in Itself. This entrance was found in 1874 by a hunter named Elllah Davidson, who trailed a white faced deer into the place. Three years later, in 1877, Davidson, Nlckerson, one of our guides, and John M. Chapman made the first exploration. They went over the same route within tne cave that we did this trip. "The first owners were Homer and Ernest Harkness. brothers, who squat ted there in 1880, and spent over 1000 trying to open up the place. They made trails and all that, but gave it up for there were not people enough to come to see to make It pay. r. M. Nlckerson and A. J. Henderson next took up the property in 1887. Alte? them came Captain A. B. Smith, who spent about $3000.. Our pnjty went in August 10, Just past and through the efforts of M. J. Anderson. Chief of Forestry for Southern Oregon, the Government withdrew it from private entry and will make it a National mon ument. "The Halls are, so far as we know now, on four levels or floors. From the lowest to the Highest Is about 600 feet. These levels, as in a mine, are connected here and there. Above the lower entranca is another and smaller one about 300 feet farther up the mountain. The mountain itself is 8000 feet high, with the elevation 'of the mouth of the cave Itself about 4000 feet. "The Halls cover perhaps a town ship and contain not less than 20 miles of chambers, halls and rooms, many of which have not yet been opened up. The interior is composed of solid marble, white as snow., and solid sta lactite, some of them over a foot through and 50 feet long, clear as dia monds. The. color effects cannot be expressed. VThis part of the state, though the nrst settled. Is now the least developed. There are miles of fertile lands readv fos tho plow, and all the water needed to irrigate them running to waste. There is no finer fruit section In the world. On the whole, this section, In mining, farming and for tourists 1s one of the best spots in America." Joaquin Miller left yesterday for his nome in California. NEW CITY OF CLIFFS. Division Point on North Bank Rail way. The new town of Cliffs, the division point town on the road now being built by tne N. p. and G. N. Ry.,-known as the North Bank Railway Is situated midway between Kennewick and Van couver, Wash. It will be the chief town on this stretch of 220 miles of new rail road. Cliffs' Is 12 miles from Goldendale, and will be the shipping point for a great amount of wheat and other farm prod ucts grown in Klickitat Valley and ad- Joining counties. The new town was orig inally caned uamont. alter Daniel S. La. mont, former Secretary of War, and later vice-president of the N. P. The Postof- rice Department objected to the name. owing to a small town of the same name in the eastern part of the state. The new division point was then renamed Cliffs, after the high cliffs which over look the majestic Columbia in that vicin ity. The North Bank or the Po-tland & Seattle Railway, which Is -the proper name of the new railroad, has 160 acres at Cliffs for yards, roundhouse and divi sional carshops. The terminal trackage will include ten storage tracks 4300 feet long, besides many tracks to shops, coal chute, etc. i The business part of the town is lo cated on level ground, together with sites for mills, warehouses and other plants, on the bank of the river, be tween the railroad and river. Business lots are 25x120 feet, residence lots are 60x120 feet. Prices range from $100 to $400, on easy terms. Cliffs will be a thriv ing manufacturing, grain and lumber shipping town, and offers a great oppor tunity for the homeseeker and investor. Sidewalks are being laid on the business streets. The railroad will be completed from Kennewick to Cliffs before the end of August.. The nearest city is 115 miles distant. One large firm on Puget Sound has reserved through this office sites for cold Btorage and business block, a plan ning mill and lumber yard, and Portland parties are negotiating for a block to build cottages for railroad men. Lots now on sale in Portland, Tacoma and Spokane. For plats and further details, inquire of J. J. Reld & Co., 266 Stark street. " Was a Native Daughter. AIRLIE. Or.. Aug. 14.
