MANY STARS ARE BOOKED v Head of Circuit Cautions Patrons Against Impression That Cut In Price, Will Cheapen Show. Calls Step War Measure. Maurice Meyerfeld, of San Francisco, president of the Orpheum circuit, ar rived in Portland yesterday, en route from Seattle, where he has been look ing after Orpheum interests in that city, and especially to attend the open ing of the Orpheum. His visit was brief, since he is one of the members of the board of di rectors of the Panama-Pacific Exposi tion, and his duties call him homeward. While he was ' In the Puget Sound country he found time to run over to Vancouver, B. C, where the . Orpheum company has just purchased a theater.. Bis Acta Coming; Here.. Naturally, since Mr. Meyerfeld Is not only the president of the circuit, but its founder as well, the Orpheum was uppermost in his conversation. Mr. Meyerfeld said many kind things about Carl Reiter, new manager of the Orpheum, whom he met in Omaha many years ago and who has been identified with the Orpheum circuit. in a mana gerial capacity for 16 years. "You people of Portland," continued Mr. Meyerfeld, "are skeptical about the Orpheum acts, fearing that you do not get the same big acts we have in Sun Francisco. We do not discriminate with acts and you can rest assured Portland will get them all. We make no splurge to give a great big show for the opening of an Orpheum Theater. "Our plan is just the opposite, our endeavor being to open mildly and then build up our shows from the start. I don't want Portlanders to think less of our shows because we charge a little less here than we do in San Francisco. Stars Booked for Portland. "The shows here are worth just as much, but everybody in the Northwest has been telling us of hard times and we have reduced prices to put our Orpheum shows within the reach- of all. All our acts are booked from New York and the shows are brought to the Pa cific Coast at great expense. "Sarah Bernhardt, when 'she enters vaudeville again, will traverse the Or pheum circuit; Nazimova will play a return engagement; Ethel Barrymore also will be with us again, and there are a dozen other great stars who will appear at the Orpheum in Portland as they tour the circuit. The Orpheum here now is in the hands of the people. We will supply the stars if the theater Is supported by the show-goers. "Western people are better judges of theaters and shows than the people of the East. Out here we do not know actors so well and we judge them by their performances."
