She proved her ability at the Marquam last week In her fine Interpretation of the character of Theodora, but It was unfortunate that her support was so unexcoptlonally bad. The case of Clarence M. Brune, "co-star," was fittingly summarized by a Spokane critic, who said that Brune demonstrated the falsity of the doctrine that a husband should always support his wife. Nothing further need be said of him. HI Henry's mlnstrols, at the Metropoli tan, proved an unusually good attraction, and the business done by them shows that pood attractions are appreciated. Mana ger Baker has been wide awake through out his ontlre career, and there is no doubt that he will do much to add to the standirg of a theater that has been hith erto pretty heavily under a hoodoo. "Hunting for Hawkins," which was seen at Cordray's last week, is a bright, clever comedy, and Its freedom from anything objectionable was not the' least of Its charm. The play was well put on, the company being one of unusual strength, and it left a pleasant Impression upon all who. witnessed it Comedies with real plots seem to be growing in favor, and they afford a welcome relief from tho all spcelalty affairs, with w,hich the stage has come to be burdened. "Rudolph and Adolph" and "Hunting for Hawkins" aro two jrtays which will be remembered by Portland theater-goers, and welcomed on their return. The people who saw "Jess of the Bar, Z Ranch" were fewer than they, should have been. It is a very good play, and the people who presented it ore far above the. average melodrama company. Tho play was well mounted, and as a plcturo of cowboy life, is well worth seeing. Miss Archer Is well worthy to succeed to the name and fame of her predecessor. Belle Archer, and more is likely to be heard of her. EVENTS THIS "WEEK. Harerly's Minstrels at the Marquam Grand Theater. Haverly's Mastodons come to the Mar quam Grand Theater next Monday and Tuesday nights, fresh from San Fran cisco, where for two weeks at the Call-, fornla Theater they played to unprece dented buslnesss. The success they scored in 'Frisco is always illustrated by tho fact that five nights after their opening there the Haverlya broke all previous records at the California Theater for big receipts. The San Francisco paper praised the performance, and Judging from what the critics of that city said, the theater patrons of the Marquam my .expect an artistic entertainment, wltfc comedy features of unusual merit. Mr. George "Wilson, who Is the chief comedian, has a reputation so well es tablished that little more than the mere mention of his name is necessary. He has. had many rivals and a hos of Imitators, but by bis originality and by keeping abreast of the times, has maintained his position In the forefront, through all the varying changes of minstrelsy. His mono, logue this season is described as some thing altogether unique. Mr. .Wilson's assisting funmakers are the famous Young family, Mazier and Conley, Marlon and Pearl, Garden and Somers, Eddie McGlue and a bunch of others. The vocal soloists are highly spoken of by the press, and include George Morgan, male alto; Charles Bury, lyric tenor; Harry Richards, baritone; Edwin Piatt basso. The company carries a complete band and orchestra. The or chestra, under the leadership of Claude Merkee, the American Paganlnl of min strelsy, and Mr. Francis Southerlahd, who has charge of the celebrated Haverly con cert band, which is called the Sousa of minstrel hands, has won distinction In the music world. ' The first part set represents a mag nolia grove, and the costuming Is described- as very pretty and appropriate. The olio Is exclusively made up of min strel specialties, and Includes Garden and Somers, a musical team with few equals, and the famous Young family. The Frawley at Cordray's Tonight. Daniel Frawley and his company will open at Cordray's Theater for a week's engagement tonight Mr. Frawley will open with "Lord and Lady Algy," a three act comedy of Swagger English society by R. C. Carton, author of "Lady Hunt worth's Experiment," "Wheels Within Wheels" and "Liberty HalL" "Lord and Lady Algy," Is by far the best work of this brilliant young British dramatist. Its London run was the longest ever re corded by a comedy production of Its class and when afterwards produced at the Empire Theater, New York, it Imme diately took rank as one of the famous successes of the Frohman reign. Ludic rously funny in many of Its scenes, Mr. Carton's work is yet of a character to appeal to th finer sentiment of the audi tor, and to send him home a little better man for having seen it. Mr. Frawley and Miss Van Buren "have the title roles, and could hardly have been better fitted with parts If Mr. Carton had understood their respective styles and temperaments per fectly, and had written the play with the special view or shltlng them In the char acters bf the sporting Lord, who- Is met by ill luck at every turn of his turf career, and his lady, who is a wiser and more fortunate devotee of racing. Mr. Fraw loy8 handling of a tipsy scene In the sec ond act., in particular, was ranked as one of the cleverest pieces of work ever seen in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Miss Van Buren's rendition of the role of Lady Algy, was charming and consistent throughout, and during the progress of the play she was seen In a number of gowns which called for enthusiastic ex pressions of approval from the ladles in the audience. Tbe company, at the pres ent time, is mainly composed of the same excellent people seen here last season. A newcomer in the Frawley forces Is Miss Blanche Douglas, who Is said to be a pretty and accomplished actress. The play Is splendidly staged. Lord Algy's apart ments makes a very pretty . scene, tho scheme of color (Mr. Frawley's own idea) being particularly pleasing. "Loru", and Lad: Algy" will bo produced Sunday and Monday nights only, and "The Liars," by Henry Arthur Jones, will follow. "iCius of the Oplnm Ring" at the Metropolitan. The play selected byMabager Baker for the Metropolitan this week opening with a mdttaee this afternoon. Is the sensational Chinese-American drama, "King of the Opium "BIng," which proved an unquali fied success when presented here last season. The play Is of the spectacular or der of drama and permits of added fea tures, several of which are introduced this season. Principal among the acquisitions arc the famous acrobatic clown, William Schrode, and a company of able assist ants. The story of the play is Intensely dra m&tlc and decidedly Interesting. The scenes are laid in California. Chinese characters are introduced in swarms, and th&r manner of living and habits are shown insall their repulsive Jildeousness. The Celestials are In :the employ of "Wah Sing, a Chinese highbinder, and they do (ft". . - "'"""T " ' .- ft : UIIHllr'uS$HiHi' 1 D iiUSssSSKLWkmlM -' mE till sWJtowMH-'?SL W ' v I bJB' ,afflHJP4li x&&&$m : WW's It SftfeP - ' -P'w wfit c ;!rl-BI ii li ms:ilammBmJwMMmWmLMm.

One of the scenes shows the interior of the den with alt Its .1 alluring appointments. In addition to keeping the den, Wah Sing Is the head of a gang of smugglers. He Is enormously wealthy. Associated with him is George Macy, who Is called "King George." -Th& latter is a villain of the deepest dye. Wah Sing Is a Chinaman of education and in tellectual power. He "speaks English with out the slightest accent, and hates the race whose traits and customs iriake him loathsome to the beautiful Georgette. The character la that of a sly Insinuating Villain, a veritable Svengull, without, however, the vulgar boasting of Du Maur iers famous creation. Two performances will be given today, one this afternoon and one tonight. Spe cial matinees Wednesday and Saturday. The Royal Italian Band. .

He continued as director of that organization until about U months ago, when he decided to seek his- fortune In America. Creatore is a director so full of love for his work that he knows no bounds for his. high inspiration. Creatore with the '60 artiste who compose the band has been to all a positive revelation. His interpre tation of. the great Italian operas and masterpieces Is said to be remarkable. There are quite a number of people in this city who have already heard the band and they, like all who have ever had. the pleasure of being entertained by this or ganization, speak in highest terms of it.

Hobart from "Charles Beade's celebrated j Blair an opportunity to create a most congenial role, which permits her to dis play her versatility. Wherever presented the play has been almost extravagantly praised, white the star can rejoice In the I knowledge that she has .enriched the .mod ern stage with a character of strength and originality. Thestory of the play Is a simple one and. refreshing In Its purity. "Camille" seems to Improve with age and Its popularity Is ever on the Increase. While the part of this unforunate heroine Is one of the most difficult known to stage history, it Is at the same time one of the most beautiful and sympathetic when properly and Intelligently interpreted. Miss Blair's conception of the character is said to be a soulful one, and eo Impressive that the leading critic of the Denver press wrote that her work In the role compared favorably to that of Bernhardt. In Miss Blair's support will be seen Miss Eleanor Montell, a beautiful leading: worn- kan, while Mr. Vaughan G laser heads the list, of the men.

Orchestra. - Naturally- the only event that Is being much talked about in muslo circles of the Pacific Coast just now Is the Grau Opera Company, whose Western tour Is now In full swing. Rumor says that Mr. Grau has put on as forbidding an air as he can summon up for the occasion, and inex orably maintains that this is positively the last season he will endure the terrible strain on his nerves and his finances, of managing such an aggregation of stars. Of course, thl3 comes near throwing opera-goers everywhere into a panic of anxiety, and people are fairly toppling over one another on their way to the box office. Several of the old world's most famous grand opera singers have been added to tho list of attractions that were presented last season on this coast, so that now, more than ever, tha company contains as many great stars aa can bo found in any part of tho world, under one management. Eames, Sembrlch and Calve (In "Carmen") are of course Mr. Grau'a drawing cards this year. It will be Interesting to seo just what sort of a conquest Calve will mako of San Francisco, to whom she 13 now to be introduced for the first time. California audiences are by nature as full of surprises as an April day; if it wero not for that it would be easy to prophecy an unparalleled triumph for the capti vating Frenchwoman, of tho kind that goes down, to history; for Calve piquant, dramatic, full of fire and coquetry is , just the sort of stage heroine that should appeal to San Francisco opera-goers. It will be hard for Portland people to resist taking a journey southward to Bee this, the most famous Carmen In the world. Many will not try to resist it. And indeed when Europe and America hold out to us in. both bands the best they have to gWo In tho way of song. Is it not fair to meet them partway? Here Is tho repertoire for tho first week of tho San Francisco season: Monday evening, Novenibr 11 "Lohengrin," in German, with Mmes. Emma Eamea and Schmnan-Hoink, and Messrs. Van Dyck, David Blsphara. Mubiman an.d- Edouard do, Reazko; conductor. Walter Damrosoh. Tuesday evening, November 13 "Carmen." In French, with Mme.

Brown having re signed because he cannot devote the requisite time to the work, as In years past. One of Mr. Coursen's first steps was to assure himself of the active and hearty co-opration of Mr. Brown as far as his duties as leader of the ijetropolltan orchestra will allow. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Brown for the energy and executive ability which he has shown in the organization and management of the "orchestra. His careful work makes It a comparatively easy task for a new man to assume the leadership. Mr. Coursen's ability along the lines de manded for orchestral leadership are so well known to Portland people that It is entirely unnecessary to dwell upon his qualifications for the office. No musician In Portland has a sounder training in his art, or a richer store ot musical traditions than has Mr. Coursen. His association In the early part of his career with, the famous Gewandbaus orchestra of Leip zig is, in itself, assurance of his admirable preparation for the work. Mr. Coursen has planned five concerts for this Win ter, the first to be given about the middle of December. Some valuable material ha3 been added to tho orchestra, so that tho work of the coming season promises to be an Important one In Its history. GERTRUDE METCALFE. RETUUXED TO EUROPE.
