" ; '' AT THE FLAYDOrSUS. 4, 4, ard house. er three the titled. eran . Nineteenth Annual Ov.eniuff. This evening Manager D. H. Stew. will inaugurate the oDeninar of th nineteenth season at his popular play- on which occasion tne Clonlnn- Ideals will begin an engagement of nights, offering as an attraction celebrated four-act melodrama en- 'The Counterfeiters." The company U headed by the vet- comedian' and character artist. Harry W. Blanchard, and Is supported by a carefully selected aggregation of artists, all Portland and San Fran- Cisco favorites. The story of "The Counterfeiters" Is one of highly ah sorblng Interest, sensational, with plenty of comedy to relieve the pathos. The play has been acknowledged by press and public as one of the best now offered to the amusement lovlne clientele. Refined specialties will h given between, the acts. On Tuesday evening the comedy of "Our Boys" will be given, and on Wednesday the engagement will con clude with the beautiful four-act do mestic drama, "A Father's Curse." Popular prices will prevail. Voices Worth Hearing. ' : In the minds of artists, music-lovers and society people thero In n c anticipation that will only be gratified when the four big guns of the Conried Metropolitan Opera company actually appear here, and make good the prom ise of the finest vocal concert ever hoard In this city. It is certainly a re markable offering, and there Is am ple reason to believe, that every ex pectation will be fully realized. Of the fame of the singers there can be no question. Madame Rappold hnj been ; blazoned In the public press as a star of extraordinary brllllanecy u soprano who has turned tho heads of critics and common people alike, w herever she has appeared in opera a prima donna who has no superior on the pperatlc stage. In like manner has the singing of Madame Jacoby, the peerless contralto, been exploited by the most eminent critics, while Rlc cardo Mai-tin and the great Cnmpan arl are so well known that their names are almost household words in all musical circles, To hear four such voices In a pro gram of concerted numbers Is a temp tation not easily resisted by those who appreciate good vocal music and it h fair to assume that the distinguished Kipgoi-s will be greeted by a large and cultured audience. A Brand New 1'IIm. The, Scenic theater announces a film which right off the market for to night, that is classed by 'the makers as extraordinary. The title of the piece Is "Breaking Into Society," und the way the film tells the story Is In teresting In the extreme. The film li very late, and Manager Gardlnler looks for highly satisfied patron when they see it. It is realistic and modern. Another film which goes 011 tonight Is ono that starta shudders. In reality It Is out of the ordinary. It pictures the steullng of a child by an engle nnd tho monster bird Is clearly seen to swoon down on the llttlu tot. The rescue Is thrilling. A Peculiar Coincidence. A lady throws a dog out of a en; window nnd slinutancously an Irish man disposed of a pipe through an 'itlier window In the some train. Both are tired of their "pets," and be. Ilcvc the system adopted was the most I'fcctu.-il in existence. Imagine their surprise at finding tlie dog serenely holding the pipe In his mouth when the train reaches the next stop. Such Is the story in brief of one of the fun ny. things at the Sherwood Electric, commencing tonight. "The Klnd hcartcd Policeman" Is the title of an other touching story. All the films at the Sherwood have simple titles, but the pictures ure excellent. "The Painless Revenge," Is the banner film. Sliakcs)(urciin Play. Lowr of Shakespearean Muff will be given something at the Pastime to night when "As Von Like it" Is pre sented tit the playhouse.
