AlunrOO Was ensrairnd na n jnrMnl nllrac uon to -xne Koad to Ruin," at the .New Star Theater, the melodrama In which Terry McGovern was featured for sev eral seasons. Munroe's Una consisted of two words only, "I will," but he attached to them all the Importance that a load ing: man gives to his strongest role. Theodore Kremer, the author of the play, spent many weary hours laboring with Munroe and endeavoring to plant the dramatic seed In him, but after each lesson the bltr nutrillst retlrod In limnm!- nlous defeat, declaring he "would rather j talk with his fists." Nevertheless, his j engagement has been a financial success I as he has received no end of attention i from the New York press. For the . week's work he gets $1000 and he has a more to fulfill. He Is a big, good-natured, modest fellow, and made a number of friends here. His championship aspira tions are not, however, taken seriously by the best judges of pugilistic prowess. Mother and Daughter Sliorr Girls. When "Florodora" Is given Its big re vival at the Academy of Music next week, an event which could not tako place in any city but the metropolis will attract much attention. This will be nothing more nor less than the engagement of mother and daughter as show girls In the same production, giving the paragraph ers on the comic weeklies Inspiration for flippant romarks on the age of the beau teous chorus maidens and ballet dancers of musical productions. In the theatrical parlance, a "show girl" Is an unusually attractive chorus girl who has been moved nearer to the footlights and made more prominent by tho management be cause of her ability to fill the front-row orchestra chairs. Therefore, the engage ment of mother and daughter In this samo capacity Is unique and extremely interesting. Miss Nellie King Is tho mother and Edna Goodrich, the daughter. Miss King has been on the stage for sev eral years and she is a well-preserved, handsomely gowned woman. Her daugh ter resided in Chicago until the "Floro dora" craze broke out. Then with an eye on the main chance. Miss Trim- sont- for her daughter to come to New York and she was Immediately made a mem ber of the famous sextette. Of late both have been spending a vacation marked by evidences of luxury, but now they will return to tho ranks for a limited period. Strange things happen on the New York stage. aiandc Lambert and Forrest to Star. Two more new stars are to be added to the theatrical galaxy next season Maude Iambert and Arthur Forrest. Tho latter is to bo placed at the head of a com pany by Fred C. "Whitney to play the leading role in "Temporal Power," a new play from the lurid pen of Marie Co relll, which Is said to have been written as a rival to Hall Caine's "Tho Eternal City." Forrest now is playing Marc An tony in Richard Mansfield's revival of "Julius Caesar" and giving Mansfield nightly object lessons in stage manners and diction. Truth to tell, Forrest is the real hit of the production so far as New York audiences are ponpprnfid -ivhinh Vimi not a little to do with his elevation by "Whitney, who already had a high opinion of what he could do from his excellent work as Pretronius in "Quo "Vadis." Miss Lambert, who is the prima donna contralto in "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," is a graduate of the Castle Square Opera Company. Besides possessing a well-trained contralto voico of much mellowness and power, she Is a comedienne of no little attainment A comic opera now Is being written for her and a well-known manager will under take its production. Another PattI "Farewell." Adclina PattI is coming to America for another "farewell" concert tour, at least so says Robert Grau, the vaudeville agent who claims to have the celebrated so prano under contract Ho tells it she is to appear 30 times next season at a sal ary of ?4S00 per concert In addition to this liberal pay he says she is to get a percentage of the receipts if tho box office takings pass certain figures. San guine Mr. Grau believes Americans will pay large sums to hear Patti, even though her voice Is but a shadow of Its former brilliant self, simply because of hor rep utation. The course of events at his brother's, Maurice Grau's, Metropolitan Opera-House, does not seem to havo con vinced him, as it has others, that musi cal tasto in this country has advanced rapidly since PattI was in her prime, and that, even if she were her former self it is extremely unlikely this ptfbllc would go Into raptures over her in the way it onco did. Mrs. Iiangrtry to Race Here. It seems we may have Lily Langtry for a steady thing in the future. She has let Charles Frohman's press agent Alf Hayman, send forth the news that she will have her English racing stable trans ferred to these shores and that she will tako up her residence on this side of the water. Of course she will act if she stays here. If her horses arn bottpr run. nera man sne is an actress she may be able to Win OUt on th turf -ochnt vhn Tctll quite certainly lose on the stage, judging from hor work in "The Crossways." Stntce Notes. Willie Collier will star next season In a play from his own pen entitled, "New York." Collier's first offort as a play wright, "Would You For Five Million," came to grief. Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who had a dis agreement with her manager, Charles Frohman, last Autumn, has patched up the difficulty and will not close her Ameri can tour on January 31, as recently in tended. The engagement has been ex tended until May and she will go as far West as tho Pacific Coast. William Faversham's next play will be Sir Gilbert Parker's "The Right of Way," which Richard Mansfield once wanted. Fay Davis will remain his leading actress 2r mon-sense suggestion put forth in your issue of recent date, in reference to the organization of a military band of such number and instrumentation as to make it possible to enlist the interest of the music-lovers and the general public also, in behalf of the support that Is indis pensable to the existence of such an or ganization, we, the undersigned military band players, all residents of this city, constituting a proper Instrumentation for a band of 33 pieces, do hereby express to you, and, through you, to the citizens of Portland, our earnest desire to estab lish such an organization in the full knowledge that we have the players to constitute a band that will be a credit to tho city and a source of pleasure and pride to Its citizens.

Sidney Herbert Hattie Russell and Beverly SItgreaves also are to bo in Miss Walsh's support Electra Gifford, a young American prima donna, has been added to the Maurice Grau Opera Company.
