Miss Ellen Beach Taw. the American prima donna who haa the distinction of having the highest note ever reached by a human voice, was. married March 22 to Vere Goldthwaite, a well-known attor ney of Boston, who has frequently been a Portland visitor. Mr. Goldthwaite is a nephew of Mrs. .Nora Armstrong, of this city, and has attracted much atten tion over his recent book, "The Philoso phy of Ingrersoll." The romance com menced while Miss Taw and Mr. Gold thwaite were returning on the same At lantic steamer from Europe, and was - a case of love at first sight. makes an unusually effective stage story. The Seaman Stock Company has already demonstrated its decided abil ity to present a perfectly-staged at traction, and now that the new play era have gotten Into the swing of the new theater, they are doing such meritorious work that they are at tracting unusual attention. "'Wicked London will open one week from today. OPEX WITH ALL-STAR OAST. "SUver King" Initial Performance of New Stock Company. Monday evening, May 6. will Inaugu rate the opening of. the Star.

ALIi FEATURE BILL AT GRAND Dancers, Singers, Comedians Com bine to Make Show a Good One. Following the current programme at the Grand, this theater will present an other all-feature vaudeville entertain ment this week, starting with the mati nee tomorrow. The acts have been booked by Sullivan & Considlne in their New Tork and Chicago offices and each one has had years of experience. The Casettas have a dancing act which will be a novelty. It is of the whirlwind variety and was a prominent attraction In the theaters on the continent before coming to America. Emily Nice sings songs of the catchy kind and her selec tions are new. Archie Boyd is a char acter actor who has deserted the legiti mate stage for vaudeville. For many years past he has been with such attrac tions as "Way Down East," "The County Fair." "Shore Acres." "The Old Home stead." "The Village Postmaster" and other rural dramas. It Is In portraying the farmer that Boyd Is at his best and In his sketch, "After Many Tears," he will do some of the finest artistic char acter sketching that has been undertaken locally in vaudeville. Edmunds, Emerson and Emmonds will appear in "Only a Joke." These three people. It will be remembered, were on the programme at the Grand more than a year ago and they were a distinct suc cess. The Vhree Flying Valentines have a casting act in black art. The stage is draped In black and these people dress in white, so that the contrast is striking and gives the turn an air of originality. There will be the usual Sunday per formances today, which will close the engagement of J. Bernard Dyllyn. the singing comedian; Tavlne and Leonard, the automohlllsts; Bawls and Von Kauf man, in "Mush," and the rest of the attractive bill. gest salary of any monologue man in the "West. And rightly so. Armstrong was so good that Alex Pantages kept him at the Seattle house two weeks. The McCall siBters are singers" and danc ers with melodious voices and nimble feet. Leo White will sing another illustrated song. The biograph pictures will be as new and as funny as ever. Portland Musical Prodigy Goes Abroad Francis Eichter Will Be Given a Musical Education Through Liberality of His Friends. CLEVER ACTS AT PANTAGES. Exceptional Bill Secured for the New Week. Have you taken the children to the Marionettes at Pantages this week? If not there Is time yet. A few more performances remain. It will give the little ones something to laugh and talk about for many a day. And the older person will enjoy the antics of these little papier-mache people quite as much as do the children. There ts a whole bushel of good vaudeville acts In addition. Biveryone has been laughing themselves hoarse this week. The bill will affect you the same way. The new week has been most suitably provided for. Now, in the first place you wlll like Ben Mears and his company in a bright new comedy sketch. Ben came all the way from Chi cago this last week Just to entertain the people with his up-to-date and spontane ous fun. He made Chicago laugh. He expects to tk-kle Portland. And tf he doesn't It won't be the fault of Ben or his company. They have -the original corner on the fun market. And something more for the children. Pantages never overlooks a chance to dig up something good for the children. This week It will be the comedy dogs. Profes sor Home's educated pets. These little fellows are smart enough to pass a High School examination and outclass all the other educated dogs In dogdom. Bicycle Bill. too. will be on hand.

George Armstrong pulls down the blg- PORTLAND'S blind musical prodigy, Francis Rlchter, 1b to go abroad for a three years' course of study un der the best German masters, thanks to the liberality of a number of people who have become interested in the remarkable young man. For some time local mu sicians have watched with growing won der and admiration the development of his talents as a pianist and composer. They believe him to be a genius of the highest order and that he only requires the technical schooling of a master to develop into one of the world's great musicians. To this end a fund of 53000 has been raised to defray the expenses of a thorough European education directed along musical lines. It has been largely through the efforts of Mrs. Alma A. Rodgrers. who became interested in the boy a year ago, that this opportunity is to be given him. The fund has been placed in the hands, of three trustees, W. D. wheelwright. Ralph W. Hoyt and Paul Wessinger. who will direct its expenditure. Accompanied by his father, Frankie will leave shortly for New Tork, whence he will sail for Germany. Mrs. Rodgers will go abroad with him and will have charge of his education during the next three years. She will defray her own expenses as will Frankle's father, the fund being used solely for the benefit of young Richter. Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers left on Thursday for the East and will Join the young man and his father in New York. . Frankie Rlchter is 19 years old and has lived In Portland with his parents since 1900. He has been almost totally blind all his life, the result of a severe illness when a child. When very young he mani fested unusual ability on the piano and at the age of two years he played selec tions. When 7 years old he gave a pnblic recital, which attracted the attention of musicians, since which time he has de voted hlmeelf exclusively to his music His father Is a musician of much ability and at the present time is director of the Empire Theater Orchestra, where Frankie has played the piano. It is as a composer that his friends have the greatest hopes for htm. He has al ready written two light operas, one of which, based on the story of "Lalla Rookh," was supplied with a llbertto by George L. Hutchin of this city. The merits' of these two compositions have been passed upon by high authority and pronounced rarely good. He has also ' 1 - II 1 Francis Kk-hter. Pnoio Dy C. Elmore Orove, written a large number of selections for the piano, some of which have been published. Before his departure he will give complimentary recital for those who sub scribed to the fund and their friends. The concert will be given at Ellers Hall and will be an invitation affair, there being no admission charge. It will be under the direction of Mrs. "Warren E. Thomas, who has taken a great interest in the boy. Too much praise cannot be given those who are making It possible to edu cate the young musician, particularly Mrs. Alma A. Rodgers and Messrs. "Wheel wright, Hoyt and Wessinger. They have absolute confidence in the future of their protege and believe that he will soon be come one of the world's great music masters. Portland will watch Francis Rlchter's career with great interest In the hope that he may Justify the expectations of his friends and reflect oredlt upon them and the city of his adoption.
