Newspaper Page Text-THE SUNDAY OREWMAN, PORTLAND,- OCTOBER 2U t 1906. of Shakespeare's "The Merry "Wives hifleent projection delightful comedy, of Windsor." Titfs play reveals Shakespeare in one of nis happiest moods, and reflects the lirifjhtness of his Intellect in delight ful contrast to his dramatic contribu t ions which are more frequently pre sented. Historical Windsor is here re vealed at the time of Elizabeth, a staid rountrv town. slumbering under the shadows of the stately castle, radiant In the verdure of Summer time, -a period "when all its prospects please dijil man and nature seem at peace with the whole world.. At such a time and tinder such conditions it 5K-nw ration tdly propitious for two such comely j.nd merry wives as Mrs. Ford and Idrs. Paais to perpetrate their pranka f coquettish jyle upon the susceptible ,nd vain, fat and flirtatious "Sir John Jr'alstaff." and equally natural that he should fall into the trap without any suspicion of the duplicity upon their part. The comedy fairly bubbles with an exuberance of refined and delicate humor, which affords Louis James and his able confreres an excellent oppor tunity for splendid work, which we IteJieve they have taken advantage of to the fulli-st extent. One of the chief beauties of "Tie Merry Wlven of Windsor" lies' in the necessity for all soort players in the rant. This, we believe, Mr. James has va 11 zed, and has accordingly selected ft coterie of associates of exceptional Snrrft. . . Conspicuously at the head is that rlfiiiity and charmiiifr comedienne, Nellie. Mr lienrv, who ha been especially en l?n?cd for Mrs. Quickly, a character pe eul'arly adapted to her personality. , Norman Markctt, who has been Mr. JJames' chief support for several sea jons. Is also featured as Mr. Ford. tphie James will be the mischievous Mrs. Ford, and Charlotte Lambert the ttcmurp Mrs. Pajre. Tjllllan Lancaster, ;hvpft Anne Page-; J.

This week the Allen Stock Company at the Star Theater will give what promises to be the most attractive entertainment since its engagement. For the first time since the stock season opened at the Star the Allen company will abandon polite melodrama and will present a farce. It will be a good farce and one of National reputation. This Is "The Man From Mex ico." In this amusing three-act comedy, 'William Collier, now acknowledged the best farce-comedian In the country, made his reputation as a star. It is a breezy piece, with hundreds of funny lines and scores of laughable situations. Forest Seabury. the young comedian of the Al len company, will be seen In the role cre ated by William Collier. The "Man" lias fallen into the clutches of the Ihw and Is sentenced to prison. He has a month to serve. A deputy Sheriff Is ever. at his heels, waiting for him to ar range his business affairs so that he can nerve his sentence. This deputy Sheriff, a thick-headed fellow, is the source of end less humor In the farce, and the part will be in the hands of one of the company's best players. In order to explain his ab sence to his wife, the Man says that it Is in rcssnry for him to take an immediate ti in to Mexico. She decides to accom pany him. and whilo she is packing her iiunli the deputy Sheriff drags his pris oner off to jail.- The second act shows the Interior of tho prison, with the Man learning the loekstep and complaining at liU treatment. Ii!n wife suddenly appears on the scene to make an Inspection of the prison. The remainder of the act is de voted to the attempts of the prisoner to avoid being discovered by his better half. In the last act. the Man returns in Mexi can costume and attempts to tell some of the things he saw in Mexico. The situa tions become more amusing with .every m Inure, -and there Is an endless laugh. Matinees will be given Tuesday, Thurs day. f?aturdy and Sunday. " - This afternoon and tonight are the last performances of ."The Two Orphans." Feats can n reserved in advance. 'TII E KEW r ARTXKiVAT LYRIC. Vowerful Labor Drama Will Be Rill for Com In (; Week There Is a great treat in store for the pntrons of the - Lyrio this week when "The New Partner" a new labor drama, said to be one- of the strongest of its kind, will bep resented, beginning with the usual Monday matinee. The play treats of present-day labor problems, dealing with the subject in an entirely new manner. The pjot is novel and thrilling, with many sensational situations, vicing with a beautiful love story and a vein of rich comedy for the attention of the audi ence. It has never been aeen here and it ugain falls to the lot of Messrs. Keating Flood, the enterprising Lyric man tigers, to give their patrons something ab solutely fresh and new. The motive of the play is the present nil-important problem of labor and capi tal. Young Conway, played by Frank Fanning,, from being a common work Man, haa risen to be the head man. in the workshop of Kodburn A Co.. much to the disgust of his profligate son. Rodburn, fcr.. is on tho verge of bankruptcy. He tells his son that the only way to save the lirm Is for him to marry his ward t Wanla Howard). Rodburn lias already Appropriated her fortune. She secretly loves Conway, and refuses Rodburn's son. Po to get even he places one of his many crimes on Conway, that of leading astray l.aura (Isabel McDonald), one of the daughters of Torn (Herbert Ashton), an other workman in his father's employ. Mranw hlle Conway's uncle arrives, arm ed with papers that prove conclusively that Conway Is Rodburn's first and real he hnvlug deserted his wife years ag'i. Conway, to save Rodburn. destroys the pppers. just as he Is to claim his son. Conway then becomes the new partner. The man became enraged at this and. urg"-d on by Rodburn's son. swear veng eance on Conway. Tom's other daughter, a blind girl (Lily Rranscombe). over bears the plot to decoy Conway into part cf the works ami' then destroy them by fire. She. with the assistance of Alice and her young lover, Fred (Charles Con Tiers), saves them from the flames, which destroy the works. Alice forces Iaura to tell the truth, that Rodburn's son is the p uilty one, not Conway. The villain is defeated and virtue is rewarded, for Conway saves the day by restoring Alice's lost fortune, winning the respect vf his fellow workmen and the hand of th heiress. The climaxes are strong and exciting especially the rescue from the burning building. Conway Is a whole-souled man. Rnd Alice's way of making love to him Is neve, while the love scenes between Fred and the blind Edith are charming: and full of comedy. hardt and once in America by Mrs. Pat rick Campbell. Following his policy f being first to secure the good things, Mr. Baker has secured it for stock purposes immediately upon release., which will be next week. "The Sorceress" is historical in nature and the scene is laid in the period of the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain. It gives great room for magnificent scenic effects and the picturesque costumes are peculiarly appropriate to both the play and the ' performers. This will be an extraordinary production for any stock company and the Baker players are fully competent to handle it artistically. It is further announced that "The Mer chant of Venice," with John Sainpolts. as Shylock, is in preparation by the Baker company and will be produced in the near future. "Dora Thome"- at 4 he Empire. That sweet old story" of Bertha M. Clay, "Dora Thorne," which has been read and wept over' by every boy. and girl, man and woman in Christendom, will be given in its latest dramatization at the Empire Theater next week and its old-time popui. larity will be rivaled by the run it will doubtless enjoy in Portland., The story is as old as the.-hllls, and also as beautiful; as staunch and as true.. The vicissitudes which befall the sweet girl heroine, her final triumph over the villainous attempts to ruin hQT life and besmirch her charac ter, are tnade far more .realistic by the fine dramatic presentation wlrtch will be given at the Empire than is possible in the st dry as read in the book- It is putr ting a story into real life, and the aud iences weep and rejoice with Dora in the ups and downs of her romantic life." ' The company presenting -MIore Thorne"" Is said to be one of the best on the road this season, and the settings and costum ing are thoroughly -up-to-date.-- The- mem bers of the cast are actors and actresses of decided merit and the production m-ill be strictly high class in every particular. Last of "A Mother's Secret. At the Lyric this afternoon--or tonight the dramatic novelty of the past week, "A Mother's Secret." will be presented. It is a play that has made a very strong ap peal to the public on account of Us In tense human interest. The characters are all interesting and the scenes and situa tions are thrilling in the extreme. It Is one of the 'best bills the Lyric stock com pany has ever offered and those who miss It will have reason to regret it. NEW ACTS AT THE GRAND. The Tldhcaux Zouaves, Ten Beauti ful Girls, the Feature. Nothing but features are on the bill which the Grand will present all this week, starting with the matinee tomor row. The leading act Is the Tldbeaux Zouaves. These are ten young and beau tiful young women, who are expert gun spinners, do sword combats and other military tactics. This is the first act of the kind that ever appeared in Portland, and it has created a sensation over the circuit because of the beauty of the fair creatures and of their wonderful per formance. The act is a novelty in every respect and will more than make good In Portland. Cliff Dean and company will present "Married 1-Ife," a screaming farce, which is guaranteed to make every one laugh. This company and sketch was to have appeared, last week at the Grand, but made such a hit in British Columbia that it had to fill a second week. How ever. "Married Life will be exposed this week, and it will be excruciatingly comi cal. Charles A. Loder. a German monolo glst. comes with the best sort of recom mendations, since it is said that he has no superior In this line of work. Casey and LePlalre will be the special added attraction. They are true children of Erin and are said to have a great act, with an ample allowance of Hibernian repartee and- funny sayings. The Tus eano Brothers are battle-ax jugglers. This Is something- new in the way of Jugglery and keeps the audience in sus pense. "Wait Till the Sun Shines. Nel lie,' . the popular Summer song, will be rendered by Master Harold Hoff, assist ed by beautiful pictures. On the Grand Isrope will be "How the Office Boy Saw tho Ball Game." a story which will ap peal to every baseball fan. From the foregoing list It will be seen that the Grand's new bill will be one of its strongest in the- way of novelties. Today the usual Sunday performances will be given and this will be the last appearance of the current attractive vaudeville entertainment. NEW ACTS AT r ANT AGES. Eight Good Features Are Booked for the Ensuing- Week. The machine-man. a wonderful piece of mechanism that walks and behaves like a man. Is the sensation of the season in vaudeville and will be shown for the last time at Pantages today and tonight. It is not a clever performer, made up, but a al machine, every part of which Is exposed to view at the conclusion of the act. There are many other fine acts sup porting the feature and the programme is one you must not mtes. For the week beginning tomorrow, an other strong bill ha been secured. Tt is made up of eight acts and every one of them Is of particular merit and interest and will amuse and entertain you. The place as feature goes to the "Un bleached Americans Quartet." four col ored individuals who keep melody' and fun going all the time they are In sight. They have one of the best musical acts as well a. one of the funniest that has been at Pantages in many weeks. Kippy. the tramp cartoonist, has some thing new to offer. Kippy was formerly a newspaper cartoonist but finding there was more money In vaudeville has signed with the Pantages circuit. His lightning sketches, comic and serious, are clever and amusing. Beatrice Ixrne, the Scottish nightin gale, was to have been here last week but was unable to get here In time and accordingly appears on the new bill. She sings the "old songs' and sings them well Stroud and Thacher are a brace of fun makers who rank well in their line. Olcott and Doan. IrUh funsters, have a character sketch act that is one roar of laughter for the audience from atart to finish. - ' Fred Merrill, who already has a local reputation as a Jokeeter and monologlst. will" be in evidence with- his aide-splitting stunts. Leo White, the popular young baritone, will sing "Colleen Baum".a new song illustrated with beautiful - colored slides. T,he biograph will present a brand new moving picture comedy "My- Friend the Dummy." Praises "The Holy City.' William Russell, of the Seattle The ater, haa written the following - letter to George L. Baker, praising The Holy City," which appear at the Empire this week: Regarding "The Holy City and the question of advancing prices In Portland, Now I believe you know your own busi ness better than I do, but 1 know Port land pretty well. The show played here a week at 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 cents and 51 for box seats; 65 per cent of the receipts came from 50-cent tickets; 2 per cent from 15-cent tickets; 2 per cent from 20-cent tickets. I would have played the attraction another week if I could have got It. The play is better than Mrs. Fiske's "Mary Magdalen" or "Ben Hur," the Scriptural drama. The company Is a competent one, and Miss Morey is an artist. You will be pleased with the at traction, so will the people of Portland, and 1 hop it will draw capacity at every performance." Mr. Baker makes the following an nouncement: "Notwithstanding the at tached unsolicited letter, which was re ceived with this morning's mall, the re cently adopted scale of prices at the Em pire will remain the same, not only for The Holy City but for every attraction which plays-this theater the entire season."

Brought up upon traditions of her marvelous beauty, I saw her in "The Degenerates," tried to fan a flame of aesthetic, if not of dramatic appreciation, and failed. Last week I work ed myself Into a most receptive and open minded mood and went to Keith and Proc tor's to see her in the tabloid drama, "From Nightfall to Light." I saw a rather heavy English woman, with a wide smile, the ex pression of health rather than a fluid spirit of alert mind; a woman with a fine though heavy profile and a vacuous front face; a woman palpably middle-aged, who were the most elegant and becoming English gown I had ever seen. Then I turned a lorgnette that was entirely willing to be convinced upon the alleged actress. In a play that might "nave been ma4e In the hands of a Mrs. Fiske, a Bertha Kalich. a Virginia Harned. a Margaret Anglin, a tor rential drama of primitive human emotions, or in a presentment by Julia Marlowe or Maude Adams a heart-wringing twenty min utes of subdued grief,: a play that might have beena tremendous "human exhibit of the primal emotions unleashed, this visitor left one utterly unmoved, distinctly bored, finally irritated by the mathematical move ments -and automatic gestures that i few purblind persons have called grace. To drink tea with Mrs, Langtry, I have been told. Is to love ner. But I havwn't drunk tea with her, and the social charm and ex pansive smile that make slaves of her ar ternoon guests is lost somewhere about the footlights or the heads of the hard-working orchestra.
