Instead of carefully attending to one: the peril of forgetting one's duty In view of a large opportunity: heeding the ap peal of the intrinsic while forgetting the charms of the commonplace; measuring life with a golden rod rather than by the golden rule, and lastly, the peril of forgetting the necessity of cross-bearing in the hope of wearing the crown. PAUL MORTON HERE TODAY 1XSIRAXCE MAGNATE TO LOOK . OVER CITY. ' Head or Equitable I.ifc May Be In duced to Make Investments In Portland. Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of New York, is to arrive in Portland this morning from San Francisco.

He is con sidered one of the authorities of the coun try on financial and business matters on a large scale. Because of the fact that the Equitable has Important investments in all the prin cipal cities of the world, owning their I own buildings in many of them, the Im pression has gained currency that it may be Mr. Morton's intention to examine this field with a view to recommend to his board either the erection of a large build ing In this city or to place funds here for investment In other lines.

THE first of the school of Chicago musical comedy is the best of all of them, not even excepting "Pilsen." Gustave Luders. the orchestra leader, wrote the. best music he had in his ro mantle old German soul and gave it to "The Burgomaster." It sparkles as tiave none of his later-efforts, while Frank Pixley was quite in his best mood when he wrote the book and lyrics. They both builded so well that now in its ninth or tenth season there is never a doubt but that the piece will find big audiences awaiting its annual coming. The plaintive melody of the "Kan garoo" song, the pretty sentiment and excellent music of "I Drink From My Heart to You." the dainty charm of "Cupid Does Not Marry." "The Little Soubrette." "Dear Old College Days." well, there are so many old and loved friends that it were encroaching on space to name them all. Thev were :ill given us agaia-last night, recalling oiner aays and other scenes when its were all a decade younger and the wurio. was so much better that musical comedy hud not become a by-word. Of course dar Ruth White, with that voice which always suggests Chopan, as sweet to hear as ever, was the cen ter of attraction. "The Burgomaster" couldn't be Itself unless Miss White was there to wear Willie's good clothes and sing; the capital songs that are provided for that glided youth.

He is one of the mel ancholy persons ivho has attempted to toy with our risabilities since the days when Murray and Mack were consid ered a good joke. His German mono logue, which was used to fill In while the lads behind were making a scene, was sadder than the last act of "Camille." The chorus dances well and sings badly. The costumes are pretty and the latest edition of "The Burgo master." with the trifling exceptions noted, will do very well. It continues until Wednesday night with a Wednes day matinee. Moving Pictures at the Marquam SOME weeks ago the Marquam manage ment tried the experiment of putting on a continuous, moving-picture show and found it so profitable that the plan has been reverted to for this week. From 2 o'clock yesterday until 10 o'clock at night the auditorium of the theater was practically filled and everyone who saw the display of films offered seemed pleased. In fact it is a much better show than that offered on the former occasion. The features which attracted most at4 tention were films "The Frog' and "The Vestal," the latter being an especially im--pressive Roman drama told by motion pictures. "The Frog" is a beautiful thing, representing the best In the line of moving pictures. A number of illustrated songs are offered, Frederick Bauer making a good impression by his singing, while Miss Pullman, a dainty soubrette, does some clever song and dance work. The film "Animated Snowballs" and the "Adventuress of a Theater Trunk" are especially amusing. It is an excellent show of its kind and should command a heavy patronage during the week.

IX all . respects the most ei-enly bal anced performance given by the Baker Company this season is that of "Raffles" In which the members of that organization make an unusually fine im pression this week. The play had a prev ious Portland production a number of years ago when Kyrle Bellew and E. M. Holland were playing the gentleman thief and the detective, respectively. It was a theatrical event that is still recalled with satisfaction by those who were for tunate enough to be present. It Is to the everlasting credit of the Baker players that their performance suffered so little by comparison with the distinguished cast which preceded therm George Alison is more than usually de lightful as the admirable cracksman and iri a gray wig closely resembles In appear ance the exquisite Bellew. He employs the same quiet, forceful methods that have dis tinguished his performances In the repose ful drama. He repeats his many previous successes and very materially strengthens his hold upon the local public. More and more it is apparent that the Baker man agement was fortunate in securing his services. Contrary to what many of us feared. Donald Bowles appears very ad vantageously as Captain Bedford, the am ateur detective, who matches his wits in a fine duel with those of Raffles. Grant ing that Bowles Is a rersatile actor, few of us could fortell that he would do Bed ford so creditably. It is decidedly out of line with the roles In which he has previously scored. These two characters furnish the inter est of the play, the others being little more than lay figures. Miss Stoddard gives us a sweet womanly Gwendoline and so far as she is called upon to display her talents, acquits herself commendably. Robert Homans is a good "Bunny, Wil liam Gleason plays Lord Amerseth quite well enough and Mrs. Gleason, as Lady Melrose, wins a good share of attention. In just a flash of excellent acting, which lasts but a moment, Maribel Seymour makes the part of Marie, the maid and burglar's confederate, an artistic bit. This occurs in the brief scene in which she is intercepted by Bedford. James Gleason accomplishes more hian he is called upon for as the professional housebreaker. "Raffles' is one of the very best book plays of recent years and is warranted to keep the attention fixed on the story from first to last. Director Dilis prepared a capital production which sets off ad nurably a finished performance. Scores of people stood up at yesterday's per formance and it looks as if "Raffles" would be one of the Baker's most profit able bills. The Black Hand" at the Star HAD TO turn 'em away, was the re port at the boxofflce of the Star Theater yesterday afternoon and last night. The title of the announced bill, "The Black Hand." had something to do with drawing the crowd, and the rep utation of the French Company did the rest. Broadhurst's drama contains about every feature that appeals to an audi ence wedded to melodrama, and the piece went through with a dash that showed the company felt perfectly at home in the midst of slaughter and nar row escapes and pursuit of the villain. Again it is to be said that the stage was admirably set and handsomely dressed. The Interior in the second net, the home of the blind old Southern Colonel, surprised the audience with the capabilities displayed by George Barry, the stage manager, in creating "depth' with a few feet to work In. Miss Dorothy. Davis gave an excellent account of herself as the daughter of the old Colonel, and Mrs. French gave another of her fine impersonations of the whole-souled Irish woman. leaU LAForce, as the old darky voodoo, made a hit in reading Bible lessons from her deck of cards, and carried her part through to her untimely end with great fidelity. Miss Taylor, In a small part, made as much of It as called upon to do. Of the men in the company, D. M. Henderson was cast as the leader of the murderous band infesting the neighbor hood, and in his trying and unpleasant part did really great work. Some good ! friend of this talented actor should tell i him to break himself of his "explosive" i style of elocution; there are times when it is out of place. Charles Conners. in a German makeup, kept away from his j usual Irish brogue fairly well. Frank 1 Seward was. as is customary with this : comedian, excellent as thw mountaineer. ; George Daglenn, en natural, played with his customary carefulness and force. ! George Berry, Charles Burnison, and ! some extra men filled in the cast. ! "The Black Hand" will b the bill i for the week including the usual mat- : inees. WHEREJTO DINE.
