THE SUNDAY OREGCXNIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 4, 1904.
girl, coming direct from tho Boston
Lyceum. Mitchell has appeared be
fore the roost critical audiences in the
country, and has never failed to arouse
the greatest Interest. His "wonderful
powers have been the puzzle of scien
tists everywhere, and at the end of
their investigations they have been
more than ever amazed. In his -work
he uses the greatest mechanical inven
tion of the age. the auto girL This is
a figure which was built under Mr.
Mitchell's direction, and when manip
ulated by him it deceives the most ob
servant into the belief that she is a
creature of flesh and blood. This mar
velous man is well worthy to lead the
great Lyric bill, and his appearance
here will go down in the history of
local vaudeville as a very Important
event.
Others on the bill are Fairbanks and
Caine, the well-known singing and
dancing sketch artists; Gene King and
his wonderful trained dog; Casper and
Hayes, the clever comedians, in their
latest divertisement; John W. "Wood,
the talented ballad singer, in his new
est illustrated song hit, "Jennie Lee";
Kennedy and Vincent, in their delight
ful comedy sketch, and the vltascope,
with a feature film which has never
before been shown in the West. These
are the inducements which are held
out for the patrons of the Lyric this
coming week, and Managers Keating &
Flood are confident that this will be
ono of the most successful weeks in
the history of tho house. The perform
ances today will be continuous from 2
until 10:30 P. M.
THE STAR.
Popular Home of Vaudeville to Have
Excellent Bill.
"Foxy Grandpa" is a National char
acter, and his engagement with tho two
bad boys, which tho cartoonists have
made famous, will constitute the feature
of tho Star Theater's new programme
which opens on Monday afternoon, at 3
o'clock. The Three DeGraus will present
a great acrobatic novelty, entitled. "Foxy
Grandpa and the Bad Boys." This act
can be properly described as a screaming
Tarce. because the roar of laughter from
the audiences continues to grow in vol
ume from the time tho curtain rises until
it falls.
Another Instance of the undoubted ge
nius displayed by tho Star Theater In re
taining Its unrivaled hold on top place
in the vaudeville world Is shown by tho
engagement of Cole Frances Bowers,
known as tho girl with the beautiful
voice. The exquisite costumes of this
cantatrice and her wide repertoire and
her wonderful range of voice combine to
make her one of tho most striking op
eratlc singers on the stage.
Arlington and Clyde, two peppery sketch
artists, will churn tho minds of the spec
tators Into bubbles of merriment. As a
laugh-producer, their farce, entitled
"Brlc-a-Brac." is rarely equalled.
Tipple and Kllment will appear In a new
musical act, when melodies of all dc
scriptlon will run the gamut from tears
to gladness, and carry tho audience back
one minute to the Sunny South and next
time to the ragtime revels of later days.
Two comedy sketch artists have been se
lected In tho persons of Gale and "Wins-
ley. Their sketch has been O.-ICd by
the management as being up to the high
grade of entertaining qualities required
for this most popular vaudeville theater.
A transformation dancer and lightning
change artist who appears one minute as
a Nautch from India, the next a3 a Span
ish dancer, again as a Dutch maiden
from the Dikes of Amsterdam, and still
again as a beauty of King Charles' court.
Is Kitty Stevens. Mis3 Stevens Is one of
the few women who has brains and abil
ity enough to appear on the stage In a
highly successful act without support, and
the Star patrons may rest assured that
pho will win their approbation In exactly
34 seconds.
Illustrated songs will be again pre
pented at tho Star, after a lapse of sev
eral weeks. In response to a popular
demand. Jack Davis Is the new tenor who
has been engaged for this purpose, and
next week he will be singing "You're
the Flower of My Heart. Sweet Adeline."
A beautiful colored film, entitled "The
Pioneers," which Is a new novelty in
projectoscope work, will close the Star's
excellent programme.

much praise cannot be bestowed on the
moving picture of the Grandlscope, "Kit

scout will be given with absolute fidelity
to life. His capture by and escape from
the wild Indians are all shown graphical
ly. This will be a distinct feature of a
great bill. Such a vaudeville show has
never been seen in the City of Portland.

last night. "The life of an actress is
such a busy one that he or she has not
much time to devote to sodai duties and
knowing people in a social way. The
ptage has been far more loyal to me than
J have been to the stage, for I have been
an actress and a domestic woman, and
have been successful In both lines. There

"You must remember that Mrs. Gilbert
entered upon a stage career after the
death of her husband. She was left a

her living. One of her natural gifts was
her ability to dance a pretty, little dance,
