"l ORTY-XIXE" AT ! THE LYRIC. Joaquin Miller's Great Drama of California Life Will Be Presented. True to their promise to give the. pa trons of the Lyric only the best on the market, Messrs. Keating & Flood will produce for the coming week, commenc ing Monday afternoon, that beautiful ro mance of the Sierras, which is the only drama Joaquin Miller, the California poet, has ever written, "Forty-Nine." It Is a play dealing with the brave men and the brave days when gold was first found on the shores of the Pacific and the -wilding: of the great West began. The plot is simply told. The play opens in Colonel James' office (George Lowe), a lawyer, who is sending Arthur Dennlson (Frank Fanning) in search of a missing heiress, whose father and mother were massacred. James has a rascally clerk, Prahshaw (McFarland). who changes the papers to be entrusted to Dennison. Keeping the real ones, he goes in search of the girl himself. -They meet after six months in a mining camp, where they find Mississippi (Lillian Griffith), the sup posed mother of Belle (Miss Howard) and Carrots (Lily Branscombe). Bradshaw believes he has found the heiress in Belle. He proposes to her. Dennison discovers his papers are bogus and accuses Brad shaw of theft; a quarrel is stopped by old "Forty-Nine" (Herbert Ashton). Den nison, still on the search, is found work ing with old "Forty-Nine" in his mine. He falls in love with Carrots. Old "Forty-Nine" discovers that Dennison is his own son. but keeps the secret. Den nison is accused of robbing the stage, but to save him. old "Forty-Nine" tells the Vigilantes that he did it. Just as. he is to be sentenced to death. James and old Ned (W. Roberts) arrive. Bradshaw claims the fortunefor Belle, but the ol-. negro discovers that Carrots is the real heiress. It is proved that Bradshaw robbed the stage. "Forty-Nine" strikes gold in his mine. Dennison wiss the hand of Carrots, and the old man confesses that he is Arthur's father, and all ends happily. The climaxes are thrilling. The characters are all strong. Much of the onmedy is supplied by the General (Charles Conners). who does not believe in work. Dennison has been played by Mr. Fanning before with much success, so has Carrots and the old miner by Miss Branscombe and Mr. Ashton, both in this and other countries. A Western drama is always interesting, and "Forty-Nine'" Is one of the best ever written. "A MAX OF MYSTERY." Detective Drama Will Be Produced at the Star This Week. For the first time In Portland. "A Man of Mystery" will be presented this week at the Star by the Allen Stock Com pany. The first performance will be given tomorrow night, and there will be the usual matinees Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. "A Man of Mys tery" is a detective drama, and in it there is a clever detective who can beat Sherlock Holmes at his own game. "A Man of Mystery" is the central fig ure, a clergyman in this instance, who uses religion as a cloak for his nefarious schemes. He Is a criminal posing as a minister, and thus deceiving his acquaint ances. He is an expert hypnotist, and through the exercise of this mysterious Influence he ' is enabled to perpetrate some of the most baffling crimes.. The man of mystery hypnotizes a wealthy old physician and forces him to give over all his money. The old doctor has been mads a subject of the hypnotic ex periments so frequently that his mind Is shattered and when the detective is set on the case to unravel the mystery the physician is unable to assist him. By intuition, the sleuth immediately sus pects the pseudo-clergyman, but his sus picions are not shared by those who know the minister. Despite the lack of proof, the detective goes to work and eventually accumulates the strongest kind of circumstantial evi dence against the crook and finally con fronts him with his guilt. "A Man of Mystery" Is considered one of the best ietective dramas that have been written of recent years, and the plot is in a new field. Hypnotism has not become com mon in dramas, and its use in "A Man of Mystery'" is unique. Today the Allen company will give its final performances of "Brother Against Brother," a sterling melodrama, with its scenes laid in the famous Portland pris on, where the cement comes from. There will be a matinee performance. "THE MIDDLEMAN" XEXT WEEK Willard's Great Play to Be Pro duced at the Baker. E. 3. Willard has made famous the treat drama, "The Middleman." and even those who have not seen it have read of the art of this English actor in, the char-J acter of the old inventor. Next week the Baker company will give as fine a presen tation of the drama as has ever been seen in this country, and Mr. Sainpolis will take the famous Willard role. Mr. Baker has been congratulated on the selection of such a. high-class production, and Mr. Sainpolis" great host of admirers ' here will have an opportunity to see him dis play his masterly art. 1 The character of the Middleman is that of an old potter who invents or discovers the secret of a glaze for pottery which he has spent a lifetime In experimenting upon, and the effort of an unscrupulous rich man to rob him of his precious se cret. There is a beautiful love story woven into the drama, which grows out of the meeting of the rich man's son and the old potter's daughter. The Mid dleman is essentially a rare character role, and Mr. Sainpolis is peculiarly adapted to the part. "The Merchant of Venice" is in prepa ration by the Baker company, and It is probable that It will follow "The Middleman." "PECK'S BAD BOY." Farce Comedy Is Coming to Empire Theater Xext Week. i "Peck's Bad Boy" is coming to the Empire next week, and is announced as "bigger, brighter and better than ever." It has long ranked as one of the greatest theatrical attractions of New York, and the inspiration of humorous genius which impelled ex-Governor Peck to write this rich mine of farce-comedy will be appre ciated by all Portlanders. This play is not only a. mirthful mas terpiece, whose success has been at once extraordinary and perennial, but the only genuine one of its kind, its many imitators being comparatively undeserv ing of consideration. .Moreover, the hu man nature with which it so brightly and mirthfully overflows appeals Irresist ibly to the most emphatic appreciation and the risibles of people of every condi tion and age so much eo that the shrill laughter of Young America is mingled with the deep guffaws of Uncle Sam's gray-haired sons.
