"IXCLE JOSH SPRCCEBY."
S-pncial Thanksgiving Week Attrac
tion at the Theaters.
In keeping with a holiday -week, the
Empire management has engaged the fa
vorite and immensely popular production
of "Uncle JoFh Spruceby" to please its
hundreds of Thankfgiving patrons, and
fceginnintr with today's matinee this great
success will open for a week's run. This
is a rural comedy drama of more than
ordinary merit and it admits of the ap
propriate introduction of a number of fine
specialties which will be particularly en.
.ioyable. The great sawmill scene is a
miracle of stagecraft and there is special
scenery to give other wonderful stage
effects.
All through "Uncle Josh Snruceby"
there is the fragrant perfume of apple
blooms and clover blossoms and one
seems to breathe the balmy air of the
country as the many interesting scenes
are enjoyed. The report that, the man
ager goes to the expense of using sprays
of apple blofsom perfume throughout the
house to produce this realistic effect is
o.uite true and only goes to prove, that
nothins is spared to make the production
a perfect one.
The fine solo orchestra which the com
pany carries is one of its special features,
giving unusually tine orchestral pro
grammes between the acts and a street
concert dally. With this operatic or
chestra, special scenery, the great saw
mill scene, numerous specialties and as
fine a company as is on the road today.
It goes without saying that "Uncle Josh
Spruceby" will more than please the. Em
pire patrons. Today's tnatinee will begin
promptly at 2:13 and there will also be a
special Thanksgiving day matinee, for
which seats should be obtained in advance.
! TH.VYKSG1Y1XG AT HEILIG.
That Odd Comedian. Harry Beres
ford, In "The Woman Hater."
Versatile, intelligent in that versatility,
inventive and clear in his business, spon
taneous and accurate in his acting, an
artistic in his nicety of details, and so
thoroughly convincing that he commands
your attention at all times, and plays
upon the emotions as well as" appeals to
your intellect. ,
The gentle reader is mistaken. The
above paragraph did not emanate from
the busy brain of a press agent, and it
was not written about the late Joseph
Jefferson. As a matter of fact, it should
have been enclosed by quotation marks,
for it is from the brilliant pen of Mont
gomery Phister. the critic of the Cincin
nati Commercial Tribune, and it was
written about Harry Beresford, the popu
lar eccentric comedian, who is again
appearing in "The Woman Hater." AH
that is left to be raid now is that Mr.
Beresford has been hooked to appear in
this city at the Hellig Theater, next
Thursday afternoon and night. November
29, Thanksgiving day, and this notice
is printed merely as a. warning. Tes.
a warning, for those who do not purchase
their seats early will be likely to miss
the comedy treat of the season, and it
frrieves Mr. Beresford very deeply for
people to be disappointed in this man
ner. Seat sale opens next Tuesday at
.box office. Hellig Theater, 10 A. M.
'PEGGY FROM PARIS.'
Arthur Deagon In George Ades Mu
sical Comedy at Hellig.
The ever welcome Arthur Deagon is
coming to The lleilig Theater next Fri
day and Saturday nights. November 30
and December 1. with a special matinee
Saturday, in George Ade's musical come
dy success. "Peggy from Paris.'" Every
body is familiar with the wit and clever
ness that abounds in Peggy From
Paris." Hence all theater patrons in
this city and vicinity will wish to hear
tin play. They will want to enjoy the
humor and comedy, and further, they
will wish to hear the music that was
written for "Pesgy From Paris" by J. A.
Raynes. Probably most everybody has
heard some of the airs from this musical
comedy, for they have taken strong hold
of public fancy. But they will have to
be heard as sung in "Peggy From Paris"
to be fully appreciated. The musical
numbers of this play have scored great
hits. There is the male chorus. "College
Days." and the celebrated song "Emma
leen," In which Mr. Cicero J. Orampis is
assisted by a score of pretty girls. Then
there is the duet, "The Girl AVho Comes
in from the West." which has become
decidedly popular in New York. Boston
and Chicago, and there is "Henny."
which has been sung and whistled every
where. "Lil. my Easter Lily." Is an
other hit, as is the chorus. '"Flirtation."
as well as several others. Seat sale opens
next Wednesday at Heilig Theater, 10
A. M.

I Miss Ff ; ought to be all that her of
ficial cri of praises claims regarding
her cleverness. She was one entire sea
ton with he late Sir Henry Irving, the
greatest actor of his time, in the en
tiable position of leading lady. One
might almost say. "his co-star." Then
again, she held the same position with
K. S. Willard. William Gillette and Wil
liam Collier. And speaking of magnetism,
would it not seem that she was bubbling
over with that indispensable adjunct to
an actress success, since she has at
tained an International reputation as a
representative actress?
Indeed we will not question Miss Fea

ing of this brilliant little, twinkler into
the local theatrical firmament. ' Seat sale

will be a welcome attraction at the Em
pire for the week following "Uncle Josh
Ppruceby." and the popularity of the fa
mous New England novel of the same
name . assures crowded attendances.
It Is a play of New England home life,
full of all the feelings and sentiments
that are natural to such life. The young
man from whom the book and the play
have their titles is a wealthy young Bos
ton lawyer who goes into the country for
his health. He rinds a beautiful woman,
a blind girl, who wins his love, and their
courtship and devotion is very beautiful.
The play is full of unique and interesting
characters. The scenic equipment is a
most elaborate one all built specially for
this production, which competent critics
.have predicted will easily rival the suc
cess of any New England play ever pre
sented. The opening is next Sunday mat

STRANGER IN STRANGE LAND'
Allen Stock Company' Will Produce
Funny Farce at the Star.
"A Stranger in a Strange Land." one
of the funniest farces ever written, will
be the attraction at the Star-Theater this
week, presented by the Alln stock com
pany, beginning with the performance to
morrow night. There will be matinees
Tuesday, Thursday. Thanksgiving day,
Saturday and Sunday.
"A Stranger in a Strange Land" is not
an untried play, for it was used on tour
after tour, having a. long run in New
York and London. This will be the first
time that "A Stranger in a Strange
Land" has been offered in Portland by
a stock organization. The idea of the
piece is that a young Englishman has
been sent to America by his people in
the hope that he will make a man of him
self. He is a remittance man and In
stead of embarking in business, as. they
desire, he squanders the money they send
him. In order to obtain an unlimited
amount of coin he writes them that he is
in the cattle business, having a vast
ranch at Buffalo, N. Y.
Not - being well acquainted with the
geography of the United States, he makes
some marvelous blunders, such as telling
them that, he drives his cattle to water
every night over to Wyoming and back.
He receives a letter saying that his rela
tives are coming over to see him. and
to prevent discovery he goes to England
to meet them at home. On his arrival
he learns that they expect to see some
evidences of America about him, and to
secure local color the young scamp hires
the Indian used by an American medicine
man touring England.
An old . man. a. friend of the youth,
engages a man to pretend that he is an
Indian, and a detective, working on a
case, disguises himself as an Indian.
These three Indians, the real and the
imitation, form . the basis for the fun
which follows fast an,d furious. The at-

it is of interest to all' that a special
grand matinee will be given on Thursday
afternoon, when those who desire to
spend the afternoon of the holiday under
pleasant condition will surely " take ad
vantage of the opportunity and go to the
Lyric. '"We 'Uns of Tennessee" is a
thrilling play and following such an ex
cellent production as "The 5ign of the
Four" must be very good indeed to keep
up the reputation of the house. The
scenes are laid in Tennessee. The char
acters are all real Tennessee people. The
play takes place In and centers around
the Third Tennessee volunteers before
they go to Cuba.
The play is full of atmosphere, light,
witty dialogue and climaxes. This is one
of the strongest melodramas Lee Arthur
has ever written. It will serve to bring
Thomas Clark to the front as a member
of this excellent stock company.
