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.

"THE MAN FROM MEXICO.
!erry 1'arce Made- l'amous by Collier
This Week at the Star.
! 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."

"The Matinee Girl" In the Mirror says:
"1 am tired of Mrs. Langtry. 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. I am tired of Mrs. Langtry."
