ER slippered feet, like little mice.
Peeped in and out"
This, or something similar, came
from the pen of a poet who paid his
compliments to our grandmothers, and
was no doubt inspired by a particularly
distracting and daintily shod pair of
feminine pedal extremities. The feminine
foot has long been recognized as an in
strument of fatal fascination, and has
had its praises sung before the footlights
in a dozen plays and operas, from ' the
days of the daintily trippKjg "Dolly Var
den" down to the modern hypnotizing by
Svengali of the unfortunate "Trilby" of
the perfect foot.
For the street and for out-of-door use.
such as for golf or tramping, the maid
of the present day has many attractive
and appropriate boots and shoes, but it
Is indoors that the feminine foot really
has its opportunity, and a pretty foot Is
at its prettiest in slippers.
Some of the newest things in slippers
are shown in the accompanying pictures,
loaned to The Oregonian's camera man
by a down town shop from iu new Fall
stock. Comfort, as well as attractiveness.
Is provided for bv the shoe merchant
these days, and as many slippers are de
signed for grandma as for the debutante.
One of the nattiest of the new dress
slippers Is shown in No. 2, which is of
patent kid with the smart Cuban heel. It
fastens by a two-holed strap and a smart
bow of blank gros-grain ribbon, the line
of tne instep being left free. No. 3 shows
the indoor pump, also of patent kid and
Cuban heeT. and the new fiat bow of dull
kid, instead of ribbon.
A dainty and comfortable little slipper
for the boudoir is shown in No. 1, which
Is of soft blue kid, without heels, and
with a big pompon of soft silk fluff.
Practically the same thing, but of
stronger material and wita common-sense
heels, for general wear about the house,
is shown In Xo. 6.
No. 7 shows a dainty pump of white
kid, dull finish, which is the triumph of
the maid with the daintily arched instep.
This pump also has the new flat bow of
the material, instead of ribbon, and the
smart Cuban heel.
Of the many designs for shoes and slip
pers for the woman with tired or tender
feet. No. 4 shows one of the most prac
tical. It is of soft material, of easy fit
ting pattern, and has a low, flat heel,
the lacing reaching far down towards the
toes, so as to admit of adjustment.
Grandma's favorite is shown in No. 5, the
old reliable "Juliette." but with the dis
tinction of a patent, tip.

"THE WOMAN IN THE CASE"
Blanch Walsh's Great Success to Be
Baker Company's Second Bill.
Blanch Walsh's play "The Woman in
the Case," whicli was seen here with
the original cast at the Heilig Theater in
April, 1908, has been secured for the
Baker Company, and will be offered for
the second week's attraction. It is by
Clyde Fitch, and made an immense hit.
containing some of the most intense and
absorbing scenes ever created by this
master mind of the drama.
"The Woman in the Case" tells the
story . of a woman, who , in order to
secure evidence, and save her husband
from the gallows, goes down and ap
parently lives the life of sin and abandon,
for a time, in the end accomplishing her
work, and returning to the elation and
Joy of her home and love. A powerful
production of this play Is promised by
the Baker Stock Company, all week start
ing next Sunday matinee.
GRAND HAS GREAT ACTS.
New Programme Offers Vaudeville
Numbers of Variety.
Some great vaudeville acts are ex
pected on the new programme which
opens at the Grand tomorrow after
noon. The Grand always . has good
acts, but this is to be an extra bill.
Donovan and Arnold will be the heud
liners. This is a singing and talking
act which comes with strong recom
mendations from other cities. ' Dono
van and Arnold are original and that
Is why they have gone to the top in
tholr profession.
Every person in Portland who
patronizes vaudeville will be pleaesed
to learn that Al Jolson is returning
and will be on the bill. Jolson was
here a yenr or so ago and made such
an Impression that he has been re
membered when other big acts have
been forgotten. He Is one of the very
few comedians in vaudeville or musi
cal comedy who can sing. His fun Is
spontaneous and his catch phrases are
copied by other performers, the surest
test of popularity. Jolson comes with
a number of new songs and stories.
Waltone and Smith are two bari
tones who sing In a way that has
raised their salary to three fat fig
ures. They would be a credit to any
light opera organization In the country
nnd each has an established reputa
tion as a vocalist. Barnes and West
are singers and dancers. This ex
planation does not begin to do Justice-
to their cleverness. They can
dance like champions nnd their Joke
material is fresh.
A big musical sketch Is promised by
Duffy, Sawtelle and Duffy. These
three people have one of those side
splitting affairs without much plot,
but eminently successful In causing
merriment. Dorothy Dayne Is an
operatic vocalltt. Newspapers In other
cities where she has been heard
assert that she is one of the best
female soloists heard in vaudeville in
some time.
Joe Thompson will have another il
lustrated ballad. Mr. Thompson is
one of the most popular song illustrator-;
in the West. The Grandlscope
will flasn hundreds of feet of the lat
est French-mada motion pictures.
Night shows will be at 7:30 and 9:15
o'clock.
Today will be the last performances
of the current vaudeville bill, head
ed by Miles McCarthy and company in
"The Race Tout's Dream," one of the
real vaudeville hits of the year. Sur
rounding Mr. McCarthy are many other
attractive specialties, ranging from
comedy to instrumental music. '
PANTAGES OFFERS GOOD BILL
Educated Sheep Does Tricks That
Astound All Who See.
It would be hard to find a better
balanced vaudeville bill than has been
secured for the coming week, opening
Monday matinee, at the Pantages Thea
ter, the home of advanced vaudeville. All
the acts are strong and a variety is
offered that is certain to - please every
patron.
Drako's educated sheep and dogs are
splendid entertainers, for they do stunts
that seem to require almost human in
telligence. This act is highly spoken of
wherever it appears.
La Velle & Grant divide honors with
Drako for first place this week. This
team does a high-class hand acrobatic
turn and is well received everywhere.
The two are exponents of physical culture
and are models in classical and muscular
posing.
Clifford and Hall offer a character sing
ing act that all will want to see.
Ned Bennett has been pronounced by
the Police Gazette of New Tork City to
be the world's champion trombone soloist.
He renders some splendid music on this
popular instrument and challenges any-

Tonigrht will be an occasion of much
more than usual Importance In a
theatrical way, for it marks the end
of the successful engagement of the
Stockwell-MacGregor Company, which
has given the people so much splendid
entertainment during the past few
weeks. The farewell bill is In many
respects the best of the engagement,
at all events the attendance at "The
Carnival of L.ove has been the
heaviest of the Summer.
Portland theatergoers will regret
the departure of this excellent group
of players Franklyn Underwood, Ed
ward Emory, Frances Slosson and
others of lesser prominence. It is a
Btrong acting organization and ranks
well up with the best stock companies
on the Pacific Coast.
There ! every indication that there
will be something in the nature of a
public demonstration at the - Marquam
tonight, when the friends and admir
ers of the company gather to wish
them good-bye. "The Carnival of
Love" is admirably adapted for laugh
ter making and the sadness of parting
will bo softened b the bubbling humor
of the play.

feats.
The Elliots are European harpists. They
produce sweet music on these instruments,
which require the hand of a master.
Jean Wilson, the popular singer, will be
heard to advantage in a new illustrated
song. I,lke all his work, next week's
ballad is sure to be popular.
The biograph will produce the latest
comedy animated pictures.
LABOR DAY AT THE OAKS
Programme of Merit and Interest Is
Arranged.
Labor day is to be celebrated at The
Oaks in a way that has rarely been at
tempted In this city. A programme of
real merit and interest has been arranged
and one of the biggest crowds of the
season will visit the beautiful amusement
park on that day.
A prominent feature of the programme
will be the daring and sensational act of
Harry Kingston. Kingston will perform
what is called "The Slide for Life." It
is indeed a slide for life, for the per
former, wrapped in a sheet of fire, will
slide down a wire 600 feet long from the
top of the tall Oaks' tower to the north
end of the lagoon.
It is a matter ot serious consequence to
him to reatfh the water, the end of his
aerial journey, -in time to avert serious
injury by the flames. A large cable has
been stretcjied from the top of the tower
to the north end of the lagoon. On the
cable there is attached a small trolley
wheel to which there is fastened a loop of
rope. Kingston will hold by the back of
his head to this rope In making his peril
ous descent.
The slide will be performed at night
and it will be a spectacular scene. As
soon as he starts his clothing will be ig
nited and it will be a veritable sheet of
fire that speeds downward toward the
water. Kingston has the reputation of
being one of the most daring and marvel
ous aero performers In the country and
has performed some nighly sensational
feats. None, however, is more wonder
ful than this.
Of great interest to music, lovers of
Portland will be the announcement that
Signor Ceccotl, the famous tenor, will be
heard at the park again this evening. He
sang there last week and won a high
place in popular favor. He will sing In
conjunction with Chlafferelll's Italian
band.
On Monday night there will be a magni
ficent masquerade carnival at the skating
rink. Prizes will be given and patrons
of the rfnk will find not only all their
friends but an abundance of fun. On
Friday night there will be a similar car
nival at the dancing pavilion. Prizes
will also be given at that event.
Chlafferelli, the great band leader who
won such fame at the head of Ellery's
Royal Italian band, is winning Immense
popularity at the park. His daily con
certs are the big feature of the programme.
