THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAff, PORTLAND, JANUARY 25, 1903.
with the drama and the Incident was
maricea by several funny circumstances.
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

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.
In the selection of director and manager
we have again taken counsel of the sug
gestions of The Oregonian in reference
to necessary qualifications for that re-

new wife. Julie Odd. will nssinnn th nn.
sltlon. Farershnm rlonlfts hi is in lonvn
the management of Charles Frohman, as
recently rumored.
Joseph Haworth has boon selected as
Blanche Walsh's leading man in Tolstoi's
"The Resurrection," to be produced at tho
Victoria Theater on February 1G. At pres
ent ho is playing Casslus Vo Mansfield's
Brutus. 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. Her ele
vation is considered an unusual distinc
tion, as hor career thus far has been
devoted almost entirely to concert and
oratorio.
