GONSIDEIRING that the dog days are
in their zenith, and the playhouses
are supposed to be deserted of all
their wonted glory, last week was a high
ly satisfactory one to both managers and
patrons.
"The Undertow" at the Marquam caught
oh In splendid shape, and it seems prob
able that it could be continued successfully
for another week. It deserves Its popu
larity, as It Is a play of merit performed
in a meritorious manner. It will be re
peated for the last time tonight. Tomor
row night the Stockwell-MacGregor com
pany will put on at the Marquam "Are
You a Mason?" a farce that is always
reliable. It will ' continue through the
week.
The Lyrlo did "Jim, the Westerner,"
capitally and drew good audiences all
week. It will be seen for the last time
this afternoon and night, and will be fol
lowed by the ever-popular "The Two Or
phans" tomorrow night and all week.
At the Star "A Bachelor's Honeymoon"
did well, as It deserved, with Earl Dwlre
ln the leading role. Twice today It will
be repeated and then will be succeeded by
"The Scout's Revenge" tomorrow night.
Vaudeville was about average at the
Grand and Pantages, with good prospects
for the coming week.
The Hellig will reopen for the season on
August 22 with Ezra Kendall ln "Swell
Elegant Jones." who comes for four per
formances. The bookings for the new sea
son Indicate that the best attractions ever
seen here will be offered at the up-town
theater. A. A. G.
SEASOX SEATS AT THE BAKER
Kecessary to "Lineup" Only Once a
Year at Popular Stock Theater.
No one should object to lining up,
or hiring some one to do It for them
t the Baker on Monday, August 26,
for the regular sale of season reserva
tions. The trouble and waiting that
might be necessary Is something that
comes to patrons of the Baker only
once each season, and afte,r that, by
proper care, these same seats will be
held every week. Last August the
line was over a block long, and com
posed of the very best class of theater
goers ln the city. Manager Baker
stripped the theater of chairs, and bor
rowed all he could In the neighbor
hood, which was a blessing much ap
preciated, by the . ladies especially.
This year everything possible will be
done to make those In line as com
fortable as possible, and make the
task as easy as can be. Everyone
will be treated alike, and as It Is

Ezra Kendall ln "Swell ' Elegant
Jones" to Open Season ,1907-08.
The favorite comedian Ezra Kendall,
supported by an excellent company of
players, will open the season of 1907-08 at
The Hellig Theater, Fourteenth and
Washington streets, August 22. 23 and 24.
This play, which Is a combination of
quaint comedy and unique character
study, was the result of a visit by the
humorist-comedian to Martinsville, Ind.,
the village of mud bath fame. He was
attracted by the unusually lucrative field
for the extracting of comedy and Herbert
Hall Wlnslow was summoned to Martins
ville and commissioned to write the play.
Mr. Kendall talked and associated with
the natives until he became one of them
almost and" he added many valuable
points to the comedy and character draw
ing. Mr. Kendall has a typical Hoosier
part, that of a village lawyer who gains
sudden riches then loses money and wife.
He works out his solution to regain hap
piness through many humorous complica
tions and at all times he never drops that
individuality which has so characterized
his work on the stage.
STAR THEATER'S NEW BILIj
"The Scout's Revenge" Will Be
Played All This Week.
"The Scout's Revenge" will be the bill
at the Star Theater next week, com
mencing tomorrow night. There will be
matinees next Tuesday, Thursday, Satur
day and Sunday.. -
Western dramas are nowv the vogue.
They are wanted everywhere and are Im
mensely popular. Since "The Virginian"
there has been no play of Western Ufa
which has made a more pronounced suc
cess than "The Scout's Revenge." Theater-goers
are familiar with the long line
of Western dramas from "Arizona,"
"The Virginian." "The Heir to the
Hoorah" and "The Girl I Left Behind
Me," and when Jt is announced that "A
Scout's Revenge Is ln the same class with
these plays, combining their thrilling
elements with their healthful comedy, it
can be guessed how clever and entertain
ing the new attraction at the Star Thea
ter will be.
The life of the scout is filled with ad
venture. . H& was the most picturesque
figure of the plains and around his life
has been woven the best romance of
America. The most famous living scout
Is "Buffalo Bill," but Colonel Cody was
only one of the hundreds of men who
braved the dangers of the mountains and
plains as a pioneer of civilization. The
fights with Indians, the rescue of set
tlers and the dangers of hunting wild
game all'went to make the scout a per
son of more than ordinary importance
and interest. He Is one of America's
rapidly vanishing Institutions and he. will
always be considered as a hero.
This afternoon and tonight will be the
closing performances of the farce, "A
Bachelor's Honeymoon."

SPECIAL FEATURE ACTS.
Pantages Secures Fins Billing for
i Sew Week. ,
Pantages has set a new pace for vaude
ville in Portland and the public has come
to demand the best. . Now and again,
quite unavoidably, an Inferior act makes
its appearance on tne boards, but this is
the exception that proves the rule at Pan
tages. The weekly offerings are good In
variablythe best in Portland.
Something unusual may reasonably be
expected, therefore with the announce
ment of the management that a genuine
vaudeville treat Is ln store for the new
week. Three of the eight acts are head
liners and the star of these is one of
the country's celebrated performers, Wil
lie Zimmerman, the famous Impersonator
of great bandmasters. Zimmerman
comes high but Pantages has lured him
from New York regardless of cost. His
impersonations of the famous band lead
ers Is inimitable. He gets on friendly re
lations with his audience the moment he
appears and never loses this hold. It
has been found necessary to double the
theater's orchestra for this act, which
will prove the season's comedy treat.
The second feature Is the Slneays dog
and cat pantomime producing a clever
and entertaining animal Bketch, "A
Friend of Animals." This act is novel as
well as clever and will prove especially
popular with the children.
The third headllner, and by no means
the least. Is the Harry W. Splngold Com
pany. These clever people on a merry lit
tle one-act Jingle, "The Handsome
Stranger."
Charles Davis, monologist, comes highly
recommended. Jean Wilson, the ever
popular barytone, will sing a new Illus
trated song, and the biograph will pre
sent another new one, "A Hobo Hero."
The presence of Harry Valoir on the bill
gives assurance of some bright comedy
work. Valoir has been making good
throughout the Eastern circuits.
NEW BAND . AT THE OAKS
Chiaffarelll Will Begin His Engage
ment, Beginning August 18.
An entire change is announced ln the
musical programme of the Oaks, to take
effect next Sunday, August 18. The event
Is one of great Interest and Importance to
every admirer of high-class band music
in this city.
Music-lovers everywhere are acquainted
with the reputation of Chiaffarelll. and
the coming' of Ohiaffarelli to the Oaks la
an achievement reflecting great credit on
the management of the popular pleasure
park up-river. For the first time the Oaks
Is to play two bands in one season.
Chiaffarelll and his band are known the
world over. He w-as formerly associated
with Ohannlng Ellery, and at the St.

band were the feature of the season.
The engagement of the Schllzonyi Hun
garian Hussars, a splendid band of youth
ful musicians, who have established them
selves as firm favorites ln Portland, win
end next Saturday night, when a grand
farewell concert will be given. It is gen

has ever been heard on the Pacific Coast.
This will be followed on Sunday with a
grand programme of classical and popu

of the band at the Louisiana Purchase

Is a delightful remembrance 4n the hearts
of many Portland people who visited the
Exposition. The Chiaffarelll- band carries
six eminent soloists,' and among them
will be offered during the term of their

Chiaffarelll has been acknowledged as one
of the most noted emotional leaders ln
the profession, because of his magnetic
influence over his players. While their
headquarters are at St. Louis, they come
direct to Portland from a 24 months
continuous engagement at Los Angeles ln
concert work, where the organization has
charmed over 1,000.000 people. Since the
band was heard last It has been greatly
Improved. New soloists direct from the
best municipal bands of Italy have been
secured by the organization, which is now
composed of 35 instrumentalists.

realistic way.
They give a theatrical performance
and apparently It Is done without the
