    EHE SUNDAY OBBQOKIAH, ?QBTLlLSr, 'APRIL 9, 1905.
SP
75 iff
THE week just past was the dullest
of the present theatrical season.
As a matter of fact, the regular
season is nearlng the fag end, and not
much more is to be expected until the
Fair gives us a Summer season.
Both the Columbia and Empire were
dark, and but for the Pollard Juvenile
opera singers w.e would have been at
the mercy of the 10-cent entertainers.
The Liliputians gave three bills and
did very well with them. They were "A
Runaway Girl," "A Gaiety Girl" and
"An American Millionaire." Wonderful
children they are, and need ask no con
sideration on account of their tender
years. This was their third visit to
Portland, and it Is to be hoped that
they will come again.
The second of the Hose Eytinge read
ings took place on Thursday and Par
sons' Hall was filled with society mat
rons and maids with an occasional man.
The theme was tho Brownings Robert
and Elizabeth Barrett the numbers
being "Harve RIel." "My Last Duchess"
and "She Is Purer Than a Snowdrop"
from the former, and "The Cry of the
Children," 'Mother and Poet," 'The
Nightingale;' and "Lord Walter's Wife"
from the latter. Miss Eytinge was at
her happiest and the occasion was one
of great literary importance. Rose
Eytinge Is far more than a. great
dramatic reader. She is an Interpreter,
an expounder and a philosopher. Her
afternoons are especially valuable from
an educational standpoint, and as the
series progresses the Interest Is cer
tain to be such that larger quarters
will be found necessary. On next
Thursday afternoon she will read from
Dickens. A. A. G.
"Woman against woman."
Opening of the New Columbia Stock
Company This Afternoon.
TheColumbla Theater has been dark
the past week for the first time In a long
run of 30 weeks, and will reopen with the
Sunday matinee this afternoon with the
favorjte members of the old company en
tirely reorganized, and In happy condition
to fulfill the limited three "weeks season
which is before them.
Cathrlne Countlss will be leading wom
an, and Donald Bowles leading man for
the company, and" the three plays sched
uled at present are "Woman Against
Woman," "Pink Dominoes" and a splen
did production of "Dora Thorne," one cf
"the greatest novels of the past century.
"Woman Against Woman." with which
1
GERHARD SISTERS

the story of a sister's devotion and suffer

make their llvlnir. Th

Atom disgrace her elder sister. Bessie,
takes the shame on her own shoulders
ju cares ror and protects the fruit of her
sister's wrong-doing. Bessie meots with
and marries an honorable man, John Trts
slder. ThrouKh the treacherv of Raphiei
Westwood, John Is led to believe that
.Bessie naa sinned before her marriage to
him, and he deserts her. In the' end,
however, the truth comes out: vHleinv I
vanquished, virtue victorious, and all live
nappiiy ever arterward.
Cathrlne Countlss will nlav Bafvsj

an in tne cast. Donald Bowias. tho new
leading man, will be John Tresslder.
"THE MARRIAGE OF KITTY"
Max Figman and an Excellent Com
pany Tomorrow Night in Comedy.
Tomorrow and Tuesday nights at the
Marquam Grand Theater there will be
presented for the first time In Portland
the screamingly funny, seml-muslcal
comedy, "The Marriage of Kitty."' It
was originally presented In Paris by
juaaame uaoneiie Kejane, as "La Pas
sarelle." Charles Edward Stewart Hnsmn
Gordon Lennox saw It and adapted It for
nis Deauuiui. wire, Marie Tempest, who
produced It In an expurgated form In
London and New York. "The MsrHnp-.
of Kitty" was voted witty and charming
in Dotn clues.
Manager Jules Murry has provided elab
orate scenery and a cast of remarkahlv
talented comedians. Including Max Fig-
man, wno appeared as co-star with Sadie
Martinot in "The Passport." and last
season gave a remarkable ch&r&cttrir.a.
tlon of Assessor Brack with Mrs. Flsk in
Ibsen s "Hedda Gabbler." He also ap.
peared as Thorwald Helmer in "A'Doll'j
House," Sardou's "Divorcons" and "Do

"Gretna Green," as Passepartout In

iiotu companies and the play received
high praise.
TEN-CENT FIELD
Management of the Empire Decides
on an Innovation.
The. craze for 10-cent amusement has
caused the Empire Theater management
to study the situation carefully. It has
come to the conclusion that it can enter
the field -with profitable results. Tho fact
that the Summer season is on. and that
most -all traveling organizations have
closed their road tours has enabled Man
ager Baker to secure players at Summer
salaries. The cost of building productions
nas Deen eliminated for the reason that
the largo supply of scenery, stage para
phernalia, etc., which has been accumu
lating for years at the Baker Theater will
be brought Into use. For the above rea
sons it can be readily understood that if
capacity houses prevail, the venture will
be successful, and It la safe to predict
that large crowds will go Emplreward
when It becomes generally known that an
excellent company is presenting good
plays at the very low price of 10 cents.
METTA CHAMBERLAIN', LEADING
George B. Berrell, who has been stage
manager with the Columbia Stock Com
pany In this city during the past season,
has been engaged as stage director for
the Empire Stock Company. Mr. Berrell
has had years of experience with the best
stock organizations In the country, and
with good material at hand to work with
he will, no doubt, astonish the people of
this city. The following well-known peo
ple have been engaged: Frank Montgom
ery Metta Chamberlain, George B. Ber
rell. Paul Pllklngton, Charles W. York,
Edith A. Montrose, Madge O'Dell, A.
Xeale. L. Athey, Olave Ralpha, W. H.
Howell, F. V. McClung. Irene Ambrose.
Genevieve Gibson. "The Tlcket-of-Leave
Man." which has been selected for the
opening play, is a celebrated English melo
drama, which has attracted a great deal
of attention both In England and Amer
ica, where It has been presented by al
most every stock theater, and In which a
number of our best actors have appeared
at different times. It has a number of
the Sherlock Holmes features In it, and it
abounds with lovo and heart Interest. The
comedy Is rich and natural, and Melter
Mass, as played by George B. Berrell,
will keep the audience In an uproar dur
ing the entire time that he is on the
stage. Sam Wllloughly, a young Incorri
gible, played by Olave Ralpha, and Mrs.
Wllloughby, played by Edith A. Montrose,
are excruciatingly funny characters.
Taking it all In all, "The Ticket-of-Leave
Man" is an excellent opening play. The
policy of the Empire will be different
than most ten-cent houses, as it will give
but one performance in the afternoon and
ope performance at night.

The English newspapers which have been
arriving during the week, are giving some
attention to William T. Stead's Impressions
of tha stage. Although Mr. Stead is S3 years
old he has never attended a theatrical per
formance up to the present season. The stage
Is about the only high spot which Mr. Stead
has not touched in his varied career. He has
seen almost everything else that Is to be
seen !n the five continents. Naturally Mr.
Stead has "views." Some, of the reforms
which he wants to effect at once are: Free
performances at least once a week. A 12-cent
gallery and a 23-cent pit. Tho production of
the best works of the world's best dramatists.
A fellowship of the theater to correspond
with the membership, of a church. To obtain
theso reforms Mr. Stead appeals to the pluto
crats of England and the Journalists for
boosting. "I have not fodnd the theater an
abominable thing," says Mr. Stead. On the
contrary, ho rather likes it; likes it so well.
In fact, that he wants it to be brought with
in tho reach of everybody, rich and poor
THE GRAND.
alike. And he -want the rich to pay ta
freight. "The theater at present." he declare,
"id one of the perquisites of tho middle
classes. It ought to be the Inheritance of
the whole people." At present also the the
ater Is a. "miserable derelict." "a.. mere haunt
of selfish folk." whereas it "ought to be a
veritable ark wherein religion, raoroHty nM
art might And refuge."
Mrs. Fiskc came forward la New York
last week in a role new for her that of
dramatist. Three one-act plays by her were
presented at a special matinee at tho Man
hattan Theater on Wednesday, and will be
heard again this week. The Xew York. Sun,
in its review of the performance, said that
the plays "wealed the eanve admirable in
telligence and Tightness of feeling- which have
so long been valued In her tMrs. Flake's)
acting, together with an unmistakable dramatic
gift. She did not appear in the plays. It is
raid that she hopes to be encouraged to give
up regular acting and devote her main
strength to management. The enthusiasm, of
the audience was long and loud, and, in the
end called her twice before the curtain, in
spite of her previously expreied resolve nn'
to appear. 'Making the allowance rot- an. ob
viously friendly bias of the audleaoa, th x
casion was little short of a triumph,"
The three plays were entitled "Tta Rose.
"A Light From St. Agnss" and The Eyes
of the Heart." The flirst two had been pre
sented before, but the last named was en
ttrely new. It is the moat highly prixod oX
the, three. The Sun writer says of it: "It is
a family comedy, full of humor aid senli
ment, which center about a blind grandfather
whose favorite son has ruined him and whose
family Is keeping him In Ignorance of the
fact by many fond devices. The character a."
the old man D'Ancelot his tenderness, b-n
crustiness, and the keen resource by which
he unmasks the deceptions practiced on him
Is conceived with the most appealing divina
tion, and gives rise to an abundance of ef
fective dramatic touches. Even the crabbed
old Grasset, who has broken off the match
between his son to the blind D'Ascelot's
grand-daughter, because of her poverty, finds
his heart melting and unites the lovers."

nacular of the stage, which Is being added
to dally. To hear a group of "trouners
talking1 shop along Broadway, the unini
tiated would think he was listening to th
jargon of thieves. Weird, uncanny ex
pressions fall glibly from the Hps of
actors, principally of the vaudeville world.
and arc as readily understood as the
purest Englteh.
It would be a difficult matter to aet-r-
nalne the origin of some words. Many or
them are coined on the spot and pass
along to take their place in theau -a
vocabulary. The veteran actor never stop?
to ask the translation of some word un
known to him. He treasure? it up. di
gests Its application, and utilizes tt au
the most convenient opportunity. Tha
more euphonious the word the wider its
circulation.
"Gonzwab," for instance, is a noun
sometimes used as an adjective. Usually
It means the play or sketch In which ue
actor Is appearing. Sometimes it is usei
to designate a car or train. When applied
to a person It is meant slightlngl. To
refer to a man aa a "gonzwab" is o
express the most profound contempt
The word Is not to be confounded wltL
"gonzwebo," however, which Is confined
solely to articles of household use. Ir
may mean anything from a sugar bowl to
a bed.
"JIggQr" is llkcwlso wide in Us applica
tion, but is used mainly to describe som
article previously mentioned In vuivtrs
tlon. but which for the moment ha
slipped the mind of the speaker. To str
and think of the missing word wou.l
enable somebody else to break in ar
thus deprive tho actor of a chamv
orate. So he substitutes "Jigger" un.
goes serenely on, knowing that he Is
thoroughly understood.
Cigarettes are known as "sticks" and
cigars as "banda" A box of cigars, how
ever, la usually called an "orchestra
Drink of any kind falls under the head oT
"tub." Thus, If an actor, telling nl&
friends of a meeting with a manager who
jnay be unpopular, says:
"The gonzwab asked me to have a tub
and opened a fresh orchestra," his hearers
nod understandlngly.
There 13 one word which means a whola
sentence, to bo translated at the pleasure
of the hearer. The nearest approach to
spelling It Is "ploffh," and it is used In a.
disparaging sense; An actor, criticising
tho performance of a fellow artist, will
say:
"He was all right until that great scene,
then ploffh."
When accompanied by a waving of the
arms It means that the actor under dis
cussion was considered absolutely inade
quate for the role. It saves a lot of de
scxiptlon for tho speaker, and his mean
ing Is appreciated.
Another tells of his visit to a managec
edeking for an engagement.
"What did ho say?" asks the friend.
"Ploffh I" And there Is no further need
of words.
Tho theater call board is known as
"sign" or "shingle." Wardrobe Is referrod
to as "rag3" or "raiment," according to
the texture and value. Good and poor
role3 are called "pork" and "beans," re
spectively. Tho orchestra leader is called
"swinger" or sometimes "batter." The
manager well, it all depends upon the de
gree of estimation in which he Is held.

From the Davenport Democrat.
The preservation of female beauty and
Its enchantments by the use of harmless
cosmetics are duties the ladles owe to
themselves and to those who value their
personal charms as they appreciate their
moral qualities. Unfortunately unprir
cipled parties too frequently take advan
tage of the natural desire to be ever
young and ever fair, and palm upon the
market deleterious acids and mineral poi
sons which Impart a momentary luster
at the risk of future sallowness and
ruined health. In the Oriental Cream,
prepared by Dr. T. Felix Gouraud. of
New York City, the ladles have a, harm
less preparation for preserving the deli
cacy of the complexion, and obliterating
blemishes, which has become the favorite
toilet article of the leading professional
artists, who owe so much of their popu
larity to their personal charms. Scarcely
a star dressing-room in opera or theater
throughout our land Is without the Ori
ental Cream. It stands today the most
harmless and perfect beautlflfir known.
