college graduates to play the principal
parta. Out of the 30-odd members of the
cast, 27 are college graduates, including
Mr. Woodruff, the star, who Is a grad
uate of Harvard. This play is intensely
exciting from the outset and reaches a
climax In the third act. when the Har
vard eight wins the boatrace from the
English crew. This bit of clever stage
business, which was devised by Henry
Miller, the producing manager, never
falls to lift the audience to Hb feet with
enthusiasm.
'THE MAX OF THE HOUR"
Famous Drama on the Graft Situa
tion at Heillg All Next Week.
With "The Man of the Hour" coming
to the Heillg theater for one week, be
ginning next Sunday night, January 12,
with special matinees Wednesday and
Saturday, It is interesting to reprint
some extracts from the criticisms of
the play In Chicago on May 13, 1907:
Chicago Record-Herald Brady and
Grismer's special cast covered itself
with glory and was repeatedly cheered.
Chicago Inter Ocean The special
caat of "The Man of the Hour" gave a
performance that could not be im
proved upon.
Chicago Daily News "What a splen
did performance!" exclaimed everybody
as the curtain fell on each act in turn.
And everybody was right. When Brady
and Grtsmer called this cast 'special,'
they used the right adjective. It was
u. fine performance of a great play.
The advance seat sale will open next
Friday for the entire engagement.
CLEVER ACTS AT THE GRAXD
New Programme Is Made Vp of
European and Eastern Novelties.
On the new vaudeville bill which comes
to the Grand this week, starting tomor
row afternoon, there is not an act which
does not deserve featuring. Sullivan &
Connldlne have sent some clever people
to the Grand, but from the looks of the
new programme and the reports received
from other cities, this bill will be a red
letter event. There are acts from Europe
and from the leading houses in New York
and among the list are delegates of the
advanced vaudeville congress.
The Onettl sisters. European specialty
artists, are the principal event on the
card. They are said to be among the
greatest of the world's gymnasts. It Is
considered the greatest act of its kind
in this country, the best that has been
brought to America. Wherever these
girls have appeared they have made a
hit that called for a return engagement.
The special added attraction will be Pres
ton Kendall in a one-act play called
"Across the l,lnes." This is a complete
military drama containing seven char
acters, each one being played by Mr. Ken
dall. To do thiB he makes lightning
changes, the last one being from white
to a negro. Altogether 11 changes are
made and these are perfected in from
two to seven seconds. This act alone
will be found worth the price of admis
sion, and will give Portland something to
talk about.
"Partners for Life" is a refined comedy
and singing turn presented by Charles
Jacklln and Miss Gertrude Lang. The
act is reported as of pleasing quality.
DeVan Brothers appear with their dog
and give a barrel of fun tn the wav of
gymnastics. They are comedy acrobats
who know their business. Jack and
Bertha Rich will be seen and heard in a
singing and dancing act which has life
and ginger. Gracey and Burnett will of
fer a comedy sketch. Joe Thompson will
sing "Captain Baby Bunting of the Rock
ing Horse Brigade." "A Christmas Adop
tion" will be the moving-picture film.
Today will be the last performance of
the current bill, headed by Tom and Bdlth
Almond, in a musical novelty dancing
act.
PERFECTION IN VAUDEVILLE
Pantages Management Is Booking
Only Selected Acts for 1908.
Thousands have enjoyed the bill of the
past week at Pantages and everyone
has agreed that better vaudeville has
never been put on. Pantages started the
new year with a show that sets a new
pace In local vaudeville and the Fourth
street house, at least. Intends following
the pace all the through 1908. With one
of the biggest circuits in the country
behind it, the management la In a posi
tion to pick and choose from the best
material. And those who saw the Dooley
troupe, Harrington the ventriloquist,'
Benth and Rudd and all the others on
one programme. If you have not seen
the New Year's, take the last opportuni
ty today.
The second bill of 1903 will be another
innovation in vaudeville perfection. The
management has been peculiarly fortun
ate In the new bookings. By way of a
feature, the star mimic, monologist and
comedian, Tim Cronln, has been secured.
There are lots of people in this line, but
there is only one Tim, as the salary he
draws very clearly evidences. Tim gets
more by the way of salary than some
bank presidents are able to earn and
steal. He's worth it, too, as you're
bound to agree after he has Jollied you
until your sides ache with laughing.
Second place is hard to bestow. All
the others are second features. Those
that doubtless will prove most popular
are Coccla and Amato, In fancy and
novelty dancing. This clever pair will put
on their original turn, "The Mixer and the
Maid."
Music lovers will find interest In the
work of Miss Phyllis Allen, contralto.
Miss. Allen has a remarkable voice and
as a contralto Is widely known in the
music world. This Is her first appear
ance here In vaudeville. -
By the way of another good act the
Velde trio "is offered. These favorite
European acrobats with their "loop-the-loop"dogs
have a number of acrobatic
feats to their credit that ail others have
failed in. Their dogs in the loop-the-loop
act add zest to the turn.
Bert Page, the skating rube, has been
making the vaudeville circuits take notice
of him from the fact that the public likes
his work immensely. It is his first time
here in his skating and comedy acrobat
ic act.
Fred Bauer, the popular local tenor,
will sing a new illustrated ballad while
the exclusive motion pictures will be up
to their usual standard. All in all a
new week.

The rumor that Ethel Levy la to be the
leading woman of Robert Bdeson'a company
when that actor produces a new play called
"The Sln.ner, Is denied.
One man In Chicago, never having heard
of Bret Harte, was misled by the play title
of "Salomy Jane." "I had an idea she was
a burlesque on 'Salome.' " he wrote Miss
Robson last week, as an argument that the
name should be changed. "In conversation
with friends I found this same impression
was general, and no one wants to see even
a burlesque on 'Salome.' Pardon this anony
mous . Some day perhaps you will say
to me as a playwright 'Say, man. what's
your name?' "
Manager Henry "W. Savage believes he has
evolved a plan to defeat the schemes of the
ticket speculators. Word comes from New
York that he has devised a patent envelope
In which the tickets are riveted and sealed.
If the envelope is opened before it reaches
the doorkeeper the holders of the seats are
to be denied admission. Aa .the- specula
tors cannot well dispose of tickets at an
exorbitant premium unless the tickets are
shown, it Is quite likely the new scheme
will stop the nuisance.
Edgar Selwyn has literary ambitions and
spends much of his time scribbling. He
writes plays (acknowledges the authorship
of 14 that have never been produced), sto
ries and occasionally tries his hand at verse.
In fact the- first money he ver earned with
his pen was paid him for four lines of verse
that he wrote in the heyday of his court
ship of Margaret Mayo. The verse:
Life is but a little story.
Punctuated in the main,.
. With commas of our happiness
And periods of our pain.
Mr. Selwyn sent the lines to a weekly pub
lication and was rewarded with a check for
$1.50.

Mabel Taliaferro has mado her entree as
a star in the East, appearing as the heroine
of a play written for her and called "Polly
of the Circus." Miss Taliaferro is credited
with a success, and it is also said she Is
determined to leave the stage after a sea
son in New York and devote her attentions
to the conduct of her husband's home. She
Is the wife of Frederic Thompson, the man
who built Luna park on Coney Island.
"Polly of the Circus is atd to be dainty
and interesting, telling the story of a cirous
girl who wanders Into the home of a young
minister, falls In love with him. is turned
from her rough life by him and marries
him. The last tableau shows the reunited
lovers standing on the deserted site or the
circus grounds watching the wagons disap
pearing across the hills.
Marie Cahtll, on being Interviewed tn San
Francisco, insists that she telepathetically
enchains her audience. "Before I ran do
anything with a houseful of people I've got
to make them love me." declared Marie.
"I say to myself, "You're going to like me.
and I'm going to like you; we're going to
be fine friends here in a minute. Then
I go to work, and unless the lights go out,
or the orchestra turns to brass, or the stage
carpenters drop hammers and trunks be
hind the scenes. I usually succeed. And,
mind you, that isn't conceit, because I
claim that God gave me the gift of a merry
heart, and I know It is a rare and beauti
ful gift. I have taken care of it. have
kept it free from vulgarity, and my, hus
band sees that It Is kept free from worry.
That's the only thing I worry about, in
fact. Sometimes I worry for fear he's keep
ing something away from me to keep me
from worrying. Can you follow that?'
'
A New York newspaper tried diligently to
pin several more or less prominent people to
a statment of how they would spend the
time if they had but one week to live. Flor
ence Reed, who was E. H. Soth era's leading
woman when that actor was here, but has
since then been succeeded by Miss Virginia
Hammond, of Chicago, contributed this ef
fort: 'I would show the 'Real Struggle of
the Weak," I would- 'Put My House In Or
der say farewell to The Hypocrites make
my will, tell my heirs to look out for The
Thief, see my 'Classmates' assure them
that my 'Struggle Everlasting' was over,
that The Girl From the Golden West was
going to' reform her "Master. Builder when
she had crossed The Great Divide.' "
When Francis Wilson Is ready to quit
fooling with farce he hopes to become a
playwright. He already has several mann-
scrlpts Jn his trunk and has recently fin
ished a play called "The Magic Ring." Is
which Nat Goodwin Is said to be interested.
Goodwin also has a new play written bj
George Broadhurst, called "The Easterner,"
with the scene laid in California.
