PORTLAND music-lovers will be
riven two concerts this week at
the Heili Theater by the world
famous violinist, Jan Kubelik. . The first
will be given Thursday evening:. January
9; the second, Saturday afternoon, Jan
uary II. Two entirely different pro
grammes will be given. This celebrated
artist will ,be assisted by the charming
young French pianiste. Mademoiselle
Berthe Roy, and Herr Ludwlg Schwab,
accompanist.-
The regular box office sale will open
tomorrow, Monday morning, at the Heilig
Theater, for both concerts.
Few artists have created a greater sen
sation in the musical world than Jan
Kubelik. the famous violinist, who is now
on a tour of 125 concerts, under the man
agement of Daniel Frohman, and will
play here.
Kubelik is best described by saying that
when his ambition made of him the
world's greatest violinist, nature'' sur
rendered claim to a poet, whose works
would in all probability have brought him
greater fame, and a permanent place in
the hearts of ail nations.
Of medium height and slender build, his
handsome olive face surrounded by lus
trous hair, rivaling the sheen of the
raven's wing, Kubelik's honest and kindly
brown eyes shine with a wealth of greet
ing and affection for his fellow men that
soon puts his vis-a-vis in a state of per
fect equipoise and tranquility. He is at
all times kindly and earnest, his well
balanced disposition making him perfect
ly at ease, be the person he greets a
prince or a peasant. His greatest charm
is in his large brown eyes which lighten
and sparkle with each new thought that
surges through his 'soul, that gives his
fingers power not only to make the -violin
talk so as to be understodd by" his poor
est listeners, but sing with the feeling
and Intense joy of the poet.
His manner has only enough, of simple
dignity in it to mark the gentle breeding
of his fatherland, but an active and ready
appreciation of humor, even laboring
under the disadvantage of a harsh
tongue, with which he is not wholly fa
miliar, makes him the genial gentleman
the world recognizes so well in the title,
"Bohemian."

THE PLAY
OF THE .
"MOMENT
Man t1Te Hour
THE HIT
OF THE
YEAR
By George Broadhurot
LIONEL ADAMS AND Rl'BV BRIDGES IN "THE MAN OF THE HOUR,"
"T
HE MAN OF THE HOUR,"
George Broadhurst'a new play,
which has already been pre
vented in New York City at the Savoy
Theater for nine months, will be seen,
here at the Heilig Theater for a week,
beginning January 32. '
"The Man of the Hour" is reported to
be a timely play, full of dramatic inci
dents, with plenty of comedy, and telling
a story of human interest.
It deals with one of the most burning
topics of the day. The "grafting" of the
political ."machine" in many of the great
cities of this country is the central theme
of the story, the particular delineation
being the passage through the Pity Coun
cil of the town where the action of the
play takes place of a bill giving a per
petual franchise to a street railway.
The Mayor's signature U all that is
necessary to make the bill a fact, and
the "machine" has elected to the office,
after a hard fight: a rich young man who
they thought could be easily "handled."
He proves honest, however, and although
all, kinds of pressure is brought to bear,
steadfastly refuses to make the proposed
measure a law.
The love interest in "The Man of the
Hour" is that of the young man for the
niece of the financier who is responsible
for the bill. She has told her lover that
in order to win her hand he must prove
worthy, but it is at the risk of jeopardiz
ing her fortune' and losing her as well
that the young man keeps up the fight of
Ills life against the "bosses." -:
Mr. Broadhurst is said to have utilized
in the making of his play many Incidents
which in the past few months have come
to public knowledge through1 the news
papers of the country, and which, when
put upon the stage, should have dramatic

"Unless all signs in the sky are mis

we have lately passed is only a sample
of what we may soon expect, and after
the climax has been reached there will be
several years of painful and uphill recon

"When he assumed the Presidential of

ruling sign of his nativity, forming a
succession of increasingly acute aspects
that will not abate until after 1909. At
his birth Uranus was in a very inferior
position, but beginning with his Presi
dency, this erratic and revolutionary
planet has been compelling him to re
spond to and crudly interpret psychic
intelligences .that transcend his capacity
to comprehend, making him play the part
of a revolutionist in his efforts to stem
the rising tide of ,a revolution that his
inherently conservative nature dreaded. -.

"June 10, the date dectded upon for
its National , convention, is far from
propitious, if judged by" the rules of
astrology. Indeed, a worse one could
hardly hav.e been chosen. Mercury
will be stationary. Venus retrograd
ing, and both in conjunction with the
quarrelsome and impetuous Mars, and
just past conjunction with the weird
and Utopian Neptune all within a few
degrees of the place of the sun at the
Declaration of Independence and in op
position to iconoclaetic Uranus. On
election day, November 3, Mars will be
casting his rays from a powerfully
conflicting aspect to the same place,
which may mean defeat.
"The date selected by the Democrats,
July T, is about as evil as it is possible
to imagine, quite as much If not more
so than June 16. In all probability the
crafty and selfish Saturn, contending
with pugnacious Mars, will bring about
some attempt to harness conservatism
and radicalism in a team that never
could be made to pull together.
"If I read the planets aright, the man
elected to the Presidency next year
will be unable to conduct his adminis
tration - so as to win the approbation
of the people. Not only will the weird
and erratic -vibrations 'of Uranus and
Neptune continue, but the subtle and
crystallizing Saturn will shortly begin
his transit of a portion of the Zodiac
to which this country is peculiarly sen
sitive, and which was severely irritated
during the most distressing period of
the Civil War, also during the panic
of 1893, the time of the San Francisco
earthquake and at other critical
periods." '
