"Humbug" Is tne attraction the Allen flock company will present this week at the Star Theater, starting with the per formance tomorrow nisrht. There' will h8 matinees Tuesday, Thursday, Satur- day and Sunday. - The versatility of the Allen company Is well known in Portland, and it i rec- opnlzcd as being particularly clever when rrpf.entii.fr a farce. "The Man from Mex- j -o" and other farces demonstrated that the Allen company can play any farce H good as a person wants to see. For this reason. Manage Allen has selected a rouninx farre for this week, with which to follow the comrary"s toisf production Of "The Irtttle Minister." Humbug" is a farce in three acts, In which there will lie something for e-very member of. the 8 tacit company to do. In a farce the situations and. complica tions are tlift main features, and in Humbujr" there are some of the most funny and complicated. mix-ups that have ever been thought out and played upon a stage. Tho various characters are tontimially "getting in each other's way, and the whole scheme is a plot to deceive a rich old father. "Humbug" was for sjveral years an im mense laughing success in. New York, tint it is almost unknown in the "West. Those who attend the Star Theater this week are assured of one of the most entertaining performance they have wlt- nesfted in years. There is nothing serious to "Humbup." and the sole object of the play is to ainime. This Is accomplished to the boat of It ability. The Allen company contains many clever comedians and comediennes, and- they will have full rein thJ week to raise all the fun they want. Today tho company will give matinee ml ntx'tit performances af "The Tjittlo Mmintor. This is the most pretentious ofTerlnf? and. most expensive that the. or- ionization has made, It is complete in every detail, from the Scotoh dialect to the seemry, costumes and incidental music See "The I-ittl Minister" and bo convinced of the worth of the Allen Mock company. It is as well acted as though the prices were hlprher. "THE STROLLERS'' THURSDAY XI. e 3ferry Musical Comedy at Heilig Next Thursday, Friday, Saturday. "The Strollers." one of the most pro nounced musical comedy successes pro- duced In late years, will be the attraction at the Jlelllsr Theater next Thursday. Fri day and Saturday nlsrhts. January 17. 18 and 19, with a special matinee Saturday. This delichtful comedy Is brimful ot ex ceptionally brlKht and catchy musical unmoors, resides fffivtnsr the comedians plenty to do In their particular line. 'The Strollers," as a musical r'ay. hRS losl none of Its attractiveness as years have T'assed. and Its presentation here will be In full Keepinic with the hlsh standard that haa always marked Ha success. It is a well known fact that no musical comedy has been more profitable than "The St rollers:." The beauty- of the music the brilliant libretto, and the excellent man- ner in which U Is presented have made this splendid work of Harry B. Smith and TjiidwlK Kniarlunder the popular musical offering of the decade. That Aida Ilemmi and "Teddy" Webb will give such a rendition of the respective roles ns will cause nlde aches and a gener ous une of handkerchiefs to the eyes;" must needs be anticipated. Most laughable sit uations and conditions ar6 inevitable while either occupy the stage, and with Teddy" Webb as one or the Strollers, A Ida Hemmi a," his Gypsy wile, the other Stroller, Francis Carrier, as the Jailer; Ororse Kunkel as Adolor de Bomsky, Joseph "W. Smith as the magistrate, Frank Wert rand as Bratwurst, the Innkeeper, and Aimce Leicester as Anna, the presen tation proves one affording rare enjoy ment.

Bo Staged at tlie Baker. "Oregon," a story of the old Oreg-oji trail- by June McMillan Ord way, will he produced by the Baker Stock Com pany January 28, 29 and 30, and prom ises to be one of the most unique and attractive productions of the theatri cal season. From the standpoint ol! personal Interest in the happenings portrayed In the story "Oregon" will appeal to hundreds of Portland's citi zens, for It ifl a true story about the old trail that so many of our pioneers remember so well. It will-be an elab orate production, the - characters and scenery to, be historically correct. The scenery has been four months in prep aration and is pronounced most satis factory in every detail. Mrs. June McMillan Ordway, the daughter of one of OregoiVs oldest pioneers, has had the assistance of Mrs. Ada Iow Currier in preparing the dramatic version of this Interest- in j story ot pioneer life, The founda tion of the love romance which Is woven Into it is true and actually happened on a trip across the great plains. While the story Is romantic It will appeal to every pioneer and to every pioneer's family, and the pro duction promises to he an unusual event. The Oregon Pioneer Assocla- tlon and the Historical Society and other similar organizations will be es- peslallv Interested. Mrs. Ordway has done splendid work in producing this historical story ana has chosen a heme which w ill win the hearts of all Orestonlans.

Although well-known in all the Eastern cities, and also Great Britain and France, as one of the greatest artistes living, Misa Nethmole has never before made a tour west of the Rocky Mountains, and Portland people may count: it a special privilege that sbe will appear at four performances during her engagement here.

On Monday and Wednesday evenings and at tUe Saturday matinee Clyde Pitch's dramatization of Daudet's illus trious story of "Sapho" will he the hill. This is the play in which Miss Nether- sole has made a goodly share or her reputation as a great artiste, both In Amerloa and abroad, and Is demanded more frequently than any play in her extensive repertoire. This Is the rea son the management have decided to a-lve three performances of it in Port land. On Tuesday evening' Arthur "Wing Pinero's play of EnKllsh social life will be presented. "The Second . Mrs. Tan que ray." This Is purely a social problem play and Is handled with the consummate skill for which Pinero Is famous. Seat sales will open at box office.

The wealth of the scenic and costumlc production is well known. Florenz ZieRfeld expended in excess of $70,000 upon the various details of the succession of stage pictures, which can truthfully be said to be of bewilderinsr frorgeousnesR. The libretto, by Charles Klein, is formed upon the imaginary hap penings in the fictitious kingdom of Ro- tnnncia, where usurpers, crown princes, lilRliwaymen, sweethearts and diplomats all inrtigue for the possession of a throne. The romantic tinsre which is lent to every incident. Is the ideal covering: for a comic opera story. AVARDA IIOWAUD AS "SAPHO" lijTic Stock Company. Will Frescnt Dramatic Sensation.

It is said- to be an original conceit in the acrobatic world and deserves the rank it will hold on the programme. The three Polriera u-ill be the added atbac- tlon. They have a startling act on tbe Roman rings and also do specialties on the bars. Adolph Polrier is the only man in the world doing a double disloca- tlon of the Shoulder on a solid bar 18 Inches long. As an athletic event this will be long remembered.

Master Harold HoiT will sins- the beautiful illustrated song hit. 'Somewhere." "Love "Versus Title" la the name ot the film story on the grand. scone. This programme will prove satisfactory to the most particular vaudeville patron, as - It contains some good acts in several .different lines. This afternoon and tonight will be the last performances of the entertainment which has been running since last Mon day. Tlie feature is the Lafell trio, a clown acrobatic act in which ia used a bounding net. Charles McDonald, one of the greatest dancers appearing In fort land, "is another favorite, and aside from 1 these ' there are some half dozen other specialties and artists. There are three shows dally at the Grand one In the anemopn and tne other two at mgni. PAXTAGES' MANY FEATURES. Programme of Strong Attractions Is . ' - Rooked. Of the bill which has occupied the Pan- tages Theater during the past Tveek It may be said that there was no act wh.oh could not well be utilized as a head liner. . It has been a, programme of fea tures throughout and there is not one weak or tiresome line or song. McCor- mlck tbe ventriloouist has proved a hit, the Clux ton-Raymond Company has been a hit, Smith and Ellis have made a hit. and bo with all the others. ' , The offering that replaces this excep tional bill on Monday morning will be of the same class, possibly an Improve ment In several resnerts.
