THE TIMES
( ’larunce Wilbur and his famous
funny folks arc hilled to keep Em­
press patrons lutighing from the
heifininir to the end of next week.
Their offer ini' will he “ The New
Scholar.'’ which has a laugh for
every word. The act is presented
to the vaudeville public under the
direction o f Millie Burke, who has
engaged Mr. Wilbur to make the
tour of the Sullivan & Considine
houses.
Few sleight-of-hand performers
are as dextrous as E. J. Moore,
billed as the monarch of mystery,
who finds high place on the bill to
reign at the Empress for the week
of July 22. He has a number of
extraordinary tricks.
May Elinore. the topsy-turvy
comedienne, noted in the stage
world as one of the Elinore sis­
ters, is to make her initial bow in
vaudeville at the Empress next
week. She has a most pleasing
personality, and her grotesque
mannerims make her a comedienne
of her own peculiar kind in the
funny field.
Keely and Wilder, who are list-
mi as vaudeville's sweetest sing­
ers. are among the entertainers to
shine at the Empress. They were
a hit of an Empress bill last sea­
son. and music-lovers will be de­
lighted over their return engage­
ment. Miss Wilder is regarded
as one of the most striking women
in vaudeville, and has a wonder
fully sweet voice.
KELLY & WIDDER AT THE EMPRESS NEXT WEEK.
! It is greeted with enthusiasm, j
The critics are cordial in praise.
Miss Countiss has returned, a de-
! lightful actress with a world of]
magnetism. She rings true m
comedy and strong emotion.
Portland playgoers love this
charming woman and brilliant ar-1
tist. They have given her a series
of ovations, and will watch eager­
ly for her portrayal of each new j
/ role.
For her second week, beginning j
Sunday evening. July 2 ’ st, Miss
Countiss turns to the sparkling
American comedy, " A Woman's
| W ay,” by Thompson Buchanan.
“ A Woman’s W ay” is a bright |
clean comedy, with amusing char j
aeters that will introduce many
new members of the fíne, high-
class company, with capital parts
for Miss Countiss and Mr. Ayres.
There is a tremendous demand
for a revival o f “ Merely Mary
Ann,” and it has been put in
preparat ion.
The cooling plant ot the Heilig
theatre is a wonderful attraction
on hot nights.
