NEW BILL AT PAXTAGES.
Many Attractive Features Secured
by Management.
The best there is In vaudeville that is
what Pantages' Theater la aiming to offer
its patrons. And it is succeeding. A big
and attractive bill Is now concluding a
successful week a engagement, and It will
be replaced by a programme equally mer
itorious, and in several respects better.
Constant Improvement Is the aim of Man.
agei' Johnson.
A quartet of singers, the Columbia Male
Quart, , will head the list of good things.
These singers are new to Portland, but in
Seattle and Eastern points they are pop
ular favorites. They put a host of subtle
comedy Into their work, and make their
act attractive, funny and melodious.
There are few stronger acta In Coast
vaudeville. Mills and Emery are a brace
of sketch artists of more than ordinary
ability in the fun-manufacturing Industry.
They will be put on In their original and
laughable sketch, "A Nagging Wife." The
Ragtime Trio have played as headliners
In a number of theaters. They produce
an enticing comedy act In which trick
piano-playing, clever plano-playins and a
rapid fire of funny things are mixed up
In a delectable potion. After them come
the Fowlers, European gymnasts and ac
robats, who have an act that is un
equalled except In the larger kinds of cir
cuses. William Weaver' will be on hand
with his character impersonations, which
Is an act that, of Itself, could readily be
utilized as a headliner on any bill. Jean
Wilson will sing a new illustrated ballad,
and the biograph will present one of the
best comedy pictures ever presented here
In the "Dream of a Rarebit Fiend."
The old bill, endlrfg today with contin
uous performances. Is one that no one
who likes good vaudeville can afford to
miss. The list of features Includes Athey,
Mandeville and Athey. the kings of vau
deville comedians; Professor Edwards and
his wonderful boxing kangaroo; Maude
Sharp and the Osborne children. In a clev
er dancing and singing specialty, and half
a dozen other attractive numbers. Come
and see for yourself.
AT THE STAR TODAY.
"A Lost Baby's" Last Performances.
"A New Agent" Begins Tomorrow.
It is not too late to see "A Lost Baby"
at the Star, but it will be if you wait
longer than tonight. The Star Stock Com
pany will repeat this laughing success this
afternoon and evening. It is one of the
best warm weather entertainments of the
season. In It are introduced two of the
latest New York song hits, "So Long,
Mary," by George M. Cohan, and "In
dians on Broadway." The vaudeville olio
Ls the strongest the house has given in
weeks.
For the carnival of laughter .this week,
beginning with the customary matinee to
morrow, the attraction will be a musical
absurdity, "A New Agent." This Is a
merry melange of melody and fun. It has
more plot than the averge farce, but the
plot is of secondary consideration. The
central character is not like the ordinary
book agent, but is a species entirely new
both on the stage and in real life, thereby
being unique. This part is rich in laugh
ter possibilities, and will be intrusted to
one of the best comedians at the house
of mirth.
Following Its customary policy, the Star
company will introduce three or four
songs which have never been heard before.
I
The songs at the Star are always the
latest on the market, the management re
ceiving each Eastern success as soon as it
strikes the popular chord. The chorus
girls at the Star are youns. good-looking
and lithesome. They are carefully trained
and can dance better than the girls who
travel with the companies sent here from
the East.
For Fourth of July the Star comedians
will sive their usual performances, with
special features In harmony with the day.
The vaudeville bill, which divides the show
with "A New Agent." will contain sev
eral capable artists in novel specialties.
The Starcscope will be provided with new
pictures, and the Illustrated song will also
be direct from the publishers.
"A WOMAN'S SACRIFICE."
Strong New Melodrama at the Lyric
Theater.
"A .Woman's Sacrifice" is the name of
the play for the coming week at the Lyric
Theater, opening Monday. July 3. No
name could more strongly draw the wom
enfor it is a woman's province and cher
ished prerogative to make sacrifices. In
the play George Wilson (Frank Fanning)
works in a foundry and wants to better
his condition. He asks for a loan from
his employers, Dunton and Downley
(Messrs. Whitney and McFarland). Lev
ein. a fellow-workman (Ashton) overhears
the conversation and robs the employes.
George Is accused. His wife, Mary (Miss
Howard), pleads guilty to shield her
husband, and is sent to prison for five
years. Both husband and wife believe
each other guilty. George gains wealth
In Australia and returns, and finally the
whole world of trouble Is cleared up, and
the villain Leveln Is found out. The wom
an heroine has served out her time In
prison. The comedy element is supplied
by Mr. Conners as a detective, Mr. Kehoe
as a prison attendant and by Miss Power
as an old landlady. The strong scene is
where husband and wife accuse each
other, and the prison scene Is impressive.
It is a strong melodrama eight scenes in
four acts. New moving pictures take up
the time between the acts.
WHERE MUSICS CHARM HOLDS SWAY
PORTLAND. June 30. (To the Edi
tor.) Just a few rambling
thoughts about Portland church
choirs and choir singers.
I wonder how many churchgoers ever
think of the many years of hard work
and constant training not to mention
the brains required to produce good
choir singers? Hard work and brains
that's why there are not more choir
singere. And I wonder how , many
know what the musical committees and
organists have to contend, with when
selecting new singers?
There's the little girl who has hRd
nix months voice training in Squee
dunk or some other musical renter.
She wants a job. Does she get it?
Well, not this time. But she gets
mad!
Some think a "pull" is necessary to
obtain a choir position. Why. the
other day a woman offered me $L' if I'd
give her a choir position. Oh, ye gods
and little fishes! Just think of it
two whole dollars and, vacation time
nearly here. I told her It would cost
more than that, just to square the
musical committee!
Portland choir singers get about $20
or $25 per month. Barring an occa
nlonal church social, they are expected
to board themselves.
The standard set by Portland choirs
Is high it's good enough for Portland
It's good enough for any place.

of David C. Lewis, was one of the vestry
men at Trinity Church when Mr. Coursen

played at more than 2400 regular services
as welt as at countless weddings and
funerals.
