CHIEF AT ORPHE
President Meyerfeld Says Best

MANY STARS ARE BOOKED

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."
RECALL CASE ECHO HEARD
Wheeler County District Attorney
Kails to Report Expenses.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 15. (Special.)
Because Joseph K. Starr. District At
torney for Wheeler County, has not
filed with Secretary of State Olcott a
statement of his expenditures at the
recent election in which an attempt to
recall him failed, the matter has been
submitted to Attorney-General Brown
by Secretary Olcott for whatever action
is deemed necessary. The law requires
that candidates file expense statements
within 15 days after the election. The
Wheeler County recall election was
held August 16.

date against Mr, Starr, according to

with the request that ho forward re

received.

it. My face was disfigured.
