THE HORNING OREGON! AN, MONTAY, DECEMBER 26, 1901. SANTA CAUGHT FIRE Earl Albright Seriously Burned While Giving Presents. CANDLE IGNITES CLOTHING George A. Weitman, an Uncle, Saves Boy's Life by Using a Blankets Sad Ending of a Merry Christmas. "While playing the part of Santa Claus and distributing toys, little Earl Albright, whose parents live at 707 First street, was seriously burned about the face and hands. A Christmas party had been arranged by the mother of the injured boy,- in which a tree loaded with presents was the central feature. A number of rela tives and friends were present, and the evening was given over to festivity. Earl Albright, 14 years of age, assumed the role of giftgiver, appearing in the suit so typical of Santa Claus. His red coat was entirely covered with tufts of cotton, and it was this that led to his accident. While engaged in handing out the presents he unwittingly passed his arm over a lighted candle, which immedi ately ignited thq cotton, and In a mo ment he was completely enveloped in flame. Screaming with pain he rushed into an adjoining room, where his uncle, George A. "Weitman, was resting, and who had the rare presence of mind to smother the flames by means of a blanket. Medical aid was promptly summoned, and everything possible done to rolleve the condition of the boy. It was at first thought that the Injuries might be fatal, but an examination showed only the ears and right wrist to be severely burned. "While still suffering pain the condition of the boy is not regarded as precarious, and the doctors say that he will recover. The accident was a shock to the guests, and proved a terrifying experience to the mother and other women present. It all happened so quickly and produced such a spectacle as to render everyone help less with fright, and had It not been for the prompt action of Mr. "Weitman the result might have been fatal. Al THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. MAXINE ELLIOTT TONIGHT. Will Have "Her Own Way" at the Marquam Grand. Maxlne Elliott will appear in the new Clyde Fitch comedy, "Her Own "Way," under the management of Charles B. Dill ingham, at the Marquam Grand Theater tonight, Tuesday and "Wednesday nights. Miss Elliott comes here with the prestige of New York favor, and the record of hav ing scored the most unique theatrical run vnr known In New York, having ap peared at four different first-class theatersH In succession without leaving Broadway a record never before equalled by any other attraction. "Her Own "Way," is said to be the best play Clyde Fitch ever wrote. It Is a story of New York life of the present day, and dopicts m a charming manner certain features of life in the smart set which will be highly relished even by the very class thus cleverly caricatured. Miss Elliott will be supported by the same strnnc pnmnanv kcpii In New York- 'the cast includes Charles Cherry, James Carew, K. c. Here, Fanny Addison Pitt, Goorgle Lawrence, Nellie Thorne and little Donald Ga.lln.her n clever child actor. The stage settings are rich ao4 elaborate views of modern interiors. Curtain at S:15. Carriages at 10:50 o'clock. "For Mother's Sake." Thoater-goers remember with pleasure the little sunbeam Marie Heath, who ap peared here last season in that beautiful pastoral play "For Mother's Sake." Miss Heath, supported by the same strong company, will present "For Mothers Sake at the Empire Theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights of this week and at the regular matinee Saturday. The company carries its own car loaded with evory piece of scenery used in the four acts, all of which was painted by an artist who made a study of the scenes which wore reproduced. "The Star of Bethlehem." 'The Star of Bethlehem," which the Bon Greet players will present at the Marquam Grand next Friday and Satur day afternoons and evenings, will be IrTsharp contrast to "Everyman," which the same company presented here a fortnight ago. "The Star," while im presslve, lacks the solemnity of "Every man" and has many comedy 'scenes and Incidents. This miracle play has been specially arranged by Charles Mills Gayley as an entertainment for the Christmas. The performances are tin der the auspices of the Ladies' Aid So clety of the Portland Babies' Home, to whloh institution part of the proceeds will go4 The sale of seats opens Wednesday at 10 A. M. at the box of ficc Alexander Concert Thursday. Only three nights more and Arthur L.

The event of the vaudeville season takes place at the Grand today, where the per focmances will be continuous from 2 to U P. M. The management has spent a jrmall fortune in getting together the various attractions and the result Is a 6trong bill. Such feats of physical skill as will be shown by the Shak-Hadji-Ta har Arabs have never been seen before and only this great troupe does them They are paid a big salary and they do the greatest act of the kind ever present ed hore. "A Doll-Maker's Dilemma" is a comedy presented by the four Roberts of rare excellence. J. O. "Wise, the Choc taw cartoonist, gives an act entirely new. He uses both bands with equal dexterity. Levina and Arlington offer "Burglar's Surprise." Kenton and Lorriane do a new kind of musical act. Cumxnlngs and Merley use the "Bogus Count" as a ve hicle for their great ability. fWhVn the Bees Are in the Hive ' Is the new illus trated song of Alf Bonner. "An Impossi ble Voyage" is the grandlscope picture and it is the 'very latest from Paris. These and other attractions are on the bill and It is the greatest ever. Star. Another great bill opens at the Star this afternoon, and to accommodate holiday crowds there will be continuous per formances from 2:30 until 11 P. M. The Taggart family, famous for their wonder ful feats, will present a novel and enter taining act, and Montgomery and Can tor, rag-time kings and dancers, will pay a return visit This time they will more than duplicate their former hits. Daisy Harcourt, London's favorite, enters on her second week at this house In defer ence to popular request. She is one of the best exponents of coster songs' In the business. The bill also Includes: Ellis and Paloma, sketch artists; the Delkcs, dancers and kings of fun; "Williams, Jug gler; Arthur Lane, balladlst, and the projectoscope. Sparring Match at Lyric. The big event of the exceptional holi day bill at the Lyric this week, commenc ing this afternoon will be the appear ance of Dave Barry, the famous fistic champion, and his sparring partner In a brisk three-round bout at each per formance given at the Lyric during the holidays. This go will .be a scientific boxing match, fought out on Its merits, and will demonstrate the manly art of offente and defense as it is practiced by the greatest ring generals of our time. It will, however, of course, not be a finish fight, and will be free from all brutality. In addition to this great ex ceptional Teature there will be one of the best vaudeville bills ever presented in the city. , Don't miss the great holiday show. Arcade. This is holiday time and at the Arcade a most entertaining bill has been prepared to meet ii just the sort of amusement for holiday week. Today the Arcade will have continuous performances from 2:30 to 11 P. M. It's always good to hear a violin virtuoso, and Llols Mendenhall Is one of the best Her tone and bowing are all that can be desired, and the same may be said about her -welcome selections. "Waldron Brothers, German comedians, are also clever singers and dancers, and Genevieve Ardell will be heard in an other illustrated song. Dan and Bessie Kelly, laughmakers; Sylvan and O'Nell, sketch artists, and the bioscope make up the remainder of the bill. It will suit all tastes. Baker's Holiday Celebration. The greatest week of the year will be celebrated at the Baker with the great est vaudeville bill it has ever been the privilege of a local manager to bring to Portland. Every act which has a place on . the list will be the best possible of Its kind, having been selected with the greatest care by the Eastern booking agents for the holiday season. Start early to begin a good new year by see ing the phenmenal Baker offering. Not a thing on the programme but the very best and the management is willing to stake its reputation that nothing better has ever been presented in Portland.
