ART OF ENTERTAINING.
Pupils of Rose Eytinge Make Their
Mark in Society.
Toung men and women anxious to at
tain social success should cultivate their
natural talents if they desire to reaoh the
goal. Good looks are merely a stepping
stone In this direction. The red ribbon
of society is only bestowed upon those
who entertain and interest its votaries.
Pupils of Rose Eytinge, the distinguished
actress and mistress of elocution, rarely
fall to win this coveted badge of distinc
tion. Many can play or sing, but only
those who are properly instructed can
hope to succeed as recitationlsts. Al
though located in Portland only a short
time. Miss Bytinge's pupils have already
taken front rank in this line of entertain
ing. Her conscientious, painstaking work
seems to bring out the best that is in
them, and renders them a feature of all
social functions they attend. The old
saying that "nothing succeeds like suc
cess" accounts for the rapid growth of
Miss Eytlnge's classes, and justifies her
in devoting her life to this line of endea
vor. LEWIS MORRISON IN "FAUST."
Celebrated Actor to Present Famous
Success at the Marquam.
Lewis Morrison will present his
Brtmous characterization of Mephisto
on Tuesday and "Wednesday nights,
January 31 and February 1, at the Mar
quam Grand Theater, in his elaborate
scenic production of "Faust." For 20
seasons he has played his part, until
the names of Faust and Morrison are
almost synonymous, so closely has he
adhered to his own dramatized version
of Goethe's story of Faust and Mar
t guerlte. Seats are now selling.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Edna Wallace Hopper Coming.
Edna Wallace Hopper, now a star of
the first magnitude, will come to tho
Marquam Grand Theater shortly for
an engagement" of two nights, present
ing a double bill of two plays, one a
curtain-raiser, called "Captain Janu
ary." especially dramatized for this
charming little actress from Laura E.
Richards' widely-read novel of the
same name. The other is a three-act
comedy, "A Country Mouse," written
by Arthur Law. This comedy was one
of the most positive of London suc
cesses and at the Prince of "Wales The
ater in that city it enjoyed prosperity
for over three years.
"Over Niagara Falls."
Rowland and Clifford's successful melo
drama. "Over Niagara Falls, which Is
achieving such success, will be at tho Em
pire Theater next Sunday.
It Is excellently presented by a company
of players of high average merit and with
all the electrical and scenic effects util
ized in the original New York production,
where it enjoyed a phenomenal run.
There is considerable comedy In the story
and 1t is not without pathos and human
interest. "Over Niagara Falls" gives
promise of being an enjoyable affair.
Joseph Murphy In "Kerry Gow."
Joseph Murphy, in his famous play,
"Kerry Gow," will be seen at the Mar
quam in the near future.
"MISS TEXAS" THIS WEEK.
Lyric Stock Company Will Present
the Three-Act Comedy Drama.
The second week of the Lyric stock
company season will be devoted to the
three-act stirring melodrama. "Miss Tex
as," which has a record of a long and
prosperous run In the metropolis. All the
people In the splendid organization will
appear lri roles admirably suited to their
particular abilities and the success of the
week is assured in advance. The first
week of the season has been In every re
spect a complete success, and crowded
houses and enthusiastic applause have
been the rule. It required a great deal of
nerve for the Lyric management to en
gage a company of high-priced actors and
actresses to appear in pretentious pro
ductions of the popular successes at the
same price of admission charged by the
vaudeville-theaters. Some of the cleverest
people in the business are in the com
pany and each part in "Miss Texas" is
splendidly suited to the company. The
second week of the season will open to
morrow afternoon and three performances
each day will be the rule during the week,
one matinee and two at night. Today is
the last chance to see "What Happened
to Smith." vv

Lazell. two comedy sketch artists, will
supply onough fun to keep everybody hard

sketch, while George Trump, the legless
wonder, will walk on his hands.

urbanites." will end the bill.
THE GRAND.
All Day Today There Will Be Contin
uous Vaudeville With Fine Bill.
From 2 to 11 P. M. today at the
Grand Theater there will be continu
ous vaudeville with one of the most
attractive programmes that has ever
been offered at this theater. Among the
great numbers is Huntress, the great
dancer, a mystery until the very end,
when the person whom every one has
thought to bo a woman proves to be
a young and handsome man. For a
good and hearty laugh see Wills and
Barran in their great skit "Hooligan
as an Insurance Man." There are eight
other splendid acts all winding up
up with the story film "The Chicken
Thief." a cyclone of laughter. Tho
crowds have been greatly pleased all
week. After the Blanche Batos week

at the Grand and a greater effort than
ver before will be made to give Port
land the best vaudeville In the country.

fined Dramatic Sketch.
A brother of the world-famed David
Belasco. and one of tho cleverest actors
on the stage, has been engaged by the
Star Theater to appear In a refined dra
matic sketch next week, beginning on
Monday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. There le
apparently no limit to the enterprise of
this theater, and the engagement of Be
lasco and company Is merely another evi
dence of It.
A wonderful globe acrobatic act will bo
presented by the marvelous Gcyeys, a
team of clever jugglers and tumblers.
The splendor of the spectacular elec
trical act, entitled "La Ciel which will

matter of favorable comment In all the
great metropolitan newspapers of the
country. Full of color and beautiful light
effects, this act "will entrance every vis
itor to the Star.
The Millard brothers, two musicians
who make their living by dancing, sing
ing and producing melodies out. of all
kinds of instruments, are another feature
of the bill, while Nat Carr, the great He
brew impersonator and comedian, and
only living rival of David Warfleld, will
add i spice of humor to the bllL
Daisy ."Vernoni -the sllvery-volcod sou
brctte, will sing illustrated songs, and
Edison's projec to scope will show - the
latest effects in the jllm world.
VENITA ANOTHER WEEK.
The Queen of French Dancers Will
Appear at the Baker This Week.
The most successful vaudeville turn
ever presented In Portland has been the
appearance of Mile. Venlta, the world fa
mous Parisian dancer, at the Baker during
the past week. The theater "was packed
at each performance to see this wonder
ful woman, and in response to universal
demands from patrons she has been se
cured for another week at the enormous
salary of $500. "When Venlta left Hara
merstein's in New York to come West she
closed with the Baker's booking agent for
a week at that theater, being her first ap
pearance on the Pacific Coast. She also
contracted to appear the week following
at the Orpheum, In San Francisco. Man
ager Keating, however, determined that
he would satisfy the demands of his
patrons for another week of Venlta if
possible, and finally agreed to advance
the dancer's salary 5150 for the week If
she would remain. The big feature of her
work this week will be the jewel-dance.
In which thousands of dollars' worth of
precious gems are used. This is an orig
inal Invention of Venlta's and has never
been done on. any stage except by her.
Don't forget that the performaces today
will continue from 2 until 11 P. M.
"THE PRIVATE TUTOR."
Splendid New Bill Will Be Presented

jou Stock Company was the talk of the
town last week. No play nor company

sterling actor, A. R. Thome. The final
performance? of "The Colonel" will oc
cur today, and tomorrow the run of
the famous English comedy-drama

in the former admission price, and that
Edna Foley will sing her illustrated
songs and the blograph will show its
life-motion' pictures between acts. Last

There Is no "Blue Beard" pantomime either
in London or the provinces this year, and the
reason is that actors, who have always re
garded the story of Fatlma as an unlucky one
for a Christmas show, were confirmed In their
belief by the calamity at the Irequols Theater,
Chicago, on December 30. 1O03. when nearly
COO perished In the fire which broke out while
"Blue Beard" was being performed.

It frequently happens In the low-priced the
aters that an actor who plays the villain
part Is hissed by the audience when he per
petrates his dirty work. Recently the manager
of a Brooklyn playhouse, who occasionally
gives away photographs of actors in his com
pany, presented that of his villain. On this
occasion the actor was hissed to his heart's
content, and when the people left the theater
they Intensified their admiration by tearing
bis photograph Into bits, as tne actor passea
down the street after the performance, he did
not know exactly In what sense to accept this
evidence which littered the eidewalks.
