"SALOME" AT HEILIG SOON
Oscar Wilde's Famous Play to Be
Given Next Friday ight.
The theatergoers of Portland should ap
preciate the rare opportunity afforded
them on next Friday, Saturday and Sun
day nights. May 10, 11 and 12. of seeing
New York's and London's latest and
greatest sensation, Oscar Wilde's beauti
ful tragedy. "Salome." with Wilfrid Rog
er, and original company direct from
the Colonial Theater. San Francisco.
"Salome" is creating a great stir in
Eastern theatrical circles. Since the ovu
latory "Sapho" was first produced, no
play has aroused the Interest of the
public as has the impressive and awe
inspiring drama of Oscar Wilde. While
"Salome" was produced in operatic form
in New York, the first dramatic presenta
tion in America was given In San Fran
cisco by Wilfrid Roger and his clever
company, and so successful was the pro
duction that It ran for four consecutive
weeks, and playing to record-breaking
business.
Wilfrid Roger's characterization of the
difficult role of Herod Antipas won for
htm the unanimous praise of the public
and the press. Rarely If ever, has any
one given a more intellectual Interpreta
tion to a character of Herod's type, and
Mr. Roger's performance of this famous
character, places him on an equal with
some of America's foremost tragedians.
"Salome" in all Its entirety, with not
a single scene omitted, even to the kiss
ing of the head of "John the Baptist,"
and "Salome's" sensational dance of the
seven veils before Herod and his court,
will be the attraction at the Heillg an.d
the event should prove one of the drama
tic events of the season. Seat sale opens
next Wednesday. May 8, at the box
office of the Heilig.
MARQUAM TO REOPEX MAY 15
Imperial Amusement Company Will
Play Fan tana First.
The reopening: of the Marquam on
May 15, after a long dark night lasting
more than a year, will be In the nature
of a homecoming to Portland theater
goers. Singularly enough, one of the
men most prominently identified with
the Imperial Amusement Company,
which controls the Marquam, Is S. H.
Frledlander, who was one of the first
managers of that historic old theater.
Mr. Frledlander Is general representa
tive of the company, of which S. Mor
ton Cohn Is president and general man
ager, and is here personally to assist
tn making arrangements for the new
career of that popular theater.
The company secured for the re
opening of the Marquam. Mr. Fried
lander states, is without question the
best musical organization of its kind
In America, and their performances will
be a revelation to the theatergoers of
this city. The theater, which is still In
the hands of about 100 artisans, is ex
pected to open about May 15, with the
San Francicco Opera Company that has
been playing to enormous business for
several months in San Francisco. It
was by mere chance that S. Morton
Cohn. the general manager of the Im
perial Amusement Company, succeeded
in contracting for this exceptional or
ganization. There are over 60 people
in the company, and among them many
of the best known artists of musical
reputation. Among the principals are
Aiada Hemmi. " Teddy Webb, Carl
Haydn, Florence Sinnott, Maude L.
Beatty, Aime Leicester, Ruby Norton,
Frieda Wisher, Oliver Lenoir, George
Kunkel, J. Albert Waldstedt, Melvin
Stokes, Joseph Miller, Ed von Beuchner,
schools, one of which is to be held at
Portland Academy Hall June -4 to
August 2.
The plan of the day's work during
these four weeks is as follows: L Lec
ture on the principles of education,
with special application to the teach
ing of music. 2. This lecture, Illustrat
ed by a lesson to children, given by
Mr. Cady before the normal students.
3. An hour devoted to the theoretical
study of music melody, rhythm and
harmony and their bearing on phras
ing. 4. A lesson in the technique and
interpretation of pianoforte music
These four classes cannot be taken
separately, as each is a necessary prep
aration for the other. Especial pro
vision is made, however, for mothers,
other non-teachers or for kindergar
ten and public-school teachers who
wish to be excused from the pianoforte
class.
In addition to this course, there will
be a second-year clajs for last Sum
mer's students, though many among
them prefer to review the first-year
course. For those who have completed
both first and second year work an ad
vanced class will be organized.
