Not to permit the Interest or your auditors to flag even for a moment Is the creed of George M. Cohan, whose great est and most successful piece, "Forty Five Minutes From Broadway" is to be presented at the Hellig Theater, for two nights with a special price. Wednesday ma,tlnee, beginning Tuesday, February 18. in following, out this idea the remark ably successful young actor-author-composer has made it a point to evolve a plot which shall maintain the theater goers' interest and suspense in the un folding of the story, and in the Interim when the interpolated songs like "Mary Is a Grand Old Name," and "So-Long, Mary." interrupt the action of the piece to have the principal and chorus who are assisting in the rendition of the song always In motion. In this way he always has his adherents following the happenings on the stage with the keenest interest and either wild ly applauding some witty saying or de manding an encore for some particularly tuneful and melodious song. For "Forty Five Minutes From Broadway" (the action of the piece takes place at New Rochelle, N. Y., which is Just three quarters of an hour's ride from New York City) he has personally selected not only a thoroughly competent acting company headed by Scott Welch as "Kid Burns," the ex-slangy prizefighter, whose fame as an actor and a singer on both- the variety and regular stages has become National In character, but an organization that can really sing and dance. They are all real actors and actresses and that means that the play is interpreted in the right man ner and not marred in the presentation us so often happens In musical plays. Miss Frances Gordon portrays the i haracter ot "Plain Mary." The advance Beat sale will open at the box office at the theater next Saturday, February 15. A 'PAKSIFAIi" NEXT WEEK. Notable Theatrical Offering Will Be Presented at the Marqnam. One of the most notable theatrical of ferings on the - list of last season's at tractions was "Parsifal." It will be re membered that the performance and pro duction given under the management of Messrs. Martin & Emery created in- ' f 1 ' t 'I 7, .'t5 '!' fx A ?. ,! ? , . - .'.A' . -. . v - ; --, ..... ... . . i - - -. . ' - . . , . - - .. ; ' -10'- . V .? . ' '.' ; W . " ,J ' ' - , ..

The idea is to pat tern the musical event after the Cincin nati, Ohio, musical festival. The chorus under Mr. Boyer's direction meets for rehnrsal every Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at Eiler's Hall, Park and Wash ington streets, .and although about 150 singers have so far reported, there are -acancies for 0 more contraltos, tenors 5 l - ,1 ;.l VERSA KELTOS AT THE LYRIC. tense satisfaction and a delightfully ar tistic surprise. This season they return with the same admirable company and with scenery and other accessories just as complete and fitting as art could depict and human In genuity devise. The stage production, as it will be seen at the coming visit, will form a counterpart of that seen at Baireuth the same graceful outlines, the same charming effects of light and shade, the same exquisite coloring and the same marvelous transitions of scenes. That delightful and capable actress, Virginia Keating, will again appear as Kundry; John Lane Connors, who scored last sea son's triumph as Parsifal, is retained. So are Richardson Cotton and Jane Hamp ton in the rolts of Amfortas and Herze leide. Walter Kelvin and W. F. Harmon have been specially engaged for Kling sor and Sir Gurnemanz, respectively. Parsifal will be given at the Marqnam Grand during the week commencing Sun day, February 16, with matinees Sunday and Saturday. That whloh most concerns Parsifal de--otees Is the hour of commencement. The evening performances will begin at promptly and conclude at ll:lf; the mati nees at 2:15, concluding at 5:30. and basses preferred, he membership of the soprano sectioc J about complete. A small charge is made for membership, in exchange for which the management supplies music ' without further charge, and pays the expense necessary to re hearsal. The accompanist is Mrs. Warren E. Thomas. So far, the chorus has done excellent work and good musical results are looked for. Still, more singers are wanted, to get a big chorus worthy of Portland. No entrance examination for chorus members will be required at pre sent, but those singers who wish to join had better hurry, as applications will not be reserved after a certain date In the near future. ' The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is indissohibly linked with the name of its great conductor, Alexander Von Fielitz, who has achieved international renown as a musician, conductor, and composer. The orchestra visited here in 1902, and won Instant recognition. It is one of the great orchestras of the world. Paul Gilmore lit New Play. Paul Gilmore has the newest of new plays in "The Wheel of Love," writ ten for him by George V. Hobart. If Mr. Hobart had measured his man with a foot-rule he could not have fitted him better. The play is a semi Western automobile love tale, and gives Mr. Gilmore the best opportunity for distinguishing himself he has ever had. The piece will be brought to the Marquam in the near future. "Dream City" Is Coming. The. advent of Little Chip and Mary Marble is always looked .forward, to by those who' relish refreshing musical en tertainment of the lighter sort. The vehicle this year has been termed "Dream City" and is from the pen of Edgar Smith, the well-known librettist and writer of lyrics,, the music being composed by one of America's foremost composers, - Victor Herbert. At the Marquam Grand soon. "Buster Brown" Coming to Heilig. The musical cartoon comedy, "Buster Brown," will , be the attraction at the Hellig Theater, Fourteenth and Wash ington streets, for three nights beginning Thursday night, February 20, with a spe cial price madness Saturday. GREAT , MAGICIAN AT GRAND Albini Will Present a New Illusion. Other Big Acts on the Bill. The severest tests can be applied to the coming vaudeville programme which opens at the Grand tomorrow afternoon, and not one specialty will be found want ing. These acts are as good as can be gathered together anywhere and the bill contains the names of some of the brightest lights in the vaudeville profes sion. The headllner, for Instance. Albini, has ho superior in magic. He has vis ited the Grand in other seasons and re turns this week for his annual engage ment. Albini has never presented a weak act of magic and he Invariably brings some new illusion. His Illusion last sea son defied solution and no one who saw it could discover how it was worked. Albini now comes with an illusion which he says is even better than the other, although that seems almost impossible. Whether it is the manipulation of cards, sletght-of-hand, 'mechanical tricks or il lusion, Albini always amuses. In addition to this noted headliner there will be a number of other big acts, such as singers, dancers, comedians and nov elties. The special added attraction is Keller's Virginia Belles. Here is a girl act containing seven maidens doing sing ing and dancing numbers in a way to cap tivate every one who sees and hears them. This is on of the biggest strictly girl acts that is touring the vaudeville circuit this year. People who enjoy real violin music will find a treat in Rinaldo. He is a master of the fiddle. The Melnotte-Lanole duo IX THE BISHOP'S CARRIAGE" Izetta Jewel to Open at Head of the Baker Company Next Sunday. Much interest is manifested in the open ing of Miss Izetta Jewel at the Baker next Sunday in Channing Pollock's dramatization of Miriam Mlchelson's noted novel. "In the Bishop's Carriage," Nearly everyone is familiar with the story of Nance Olden, the girl thief, and the. series of strange adventures that be fell this remarkable character creation, as sho emerged from the darkness of a life she had been trained to from infancy almost, and became a good and success ful woman, through the medium of a theatrical career for which she was emi nently fitted. Jessie Busley presented the play here at high prices three times, once early this season, and this is the first stock production of it. Mies Jewel is by nature and artistic temperament perfectly fitted to play Mies Busley's successful role of Nance, and supported by the members of the Baker Company, will give a performance that will be a delightful surprise for patrons of the Baker. CHORUS TRAINS FOR CONCERTS Will Appear With Chicago Sym phony Orchestra. Musical people of this region are inter esting themselves in the series of con certs which the chorus trained by Wil liam H. Boyer will give at the Armory, early in April, in conjunction with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

It is a programme of many attractive specialties.' BIG NOVEITY AT PANT AGES Troupe of Cycling Cockatoos Will Head the Sew Bill. Uniform excellence has marked the bill of the past week at Pantages Theater. With a variety of the very best acts, the show has proved ac ceptable to the public, and the patron age has been large all week. Three acts of particular merit were Included the Colby, four. In a lively comedy, musical and burlesque act; Mysticus, the human chamelon, in a new and mystifying act; and the U. S. tour, presenting a staging sketch with mili tary settings. The others, too, have been well received, being well above the average. This show will interest you. It will be shown for the last time today. Something decidedly new in the way of a feature is provided for the new week in Bartholdi's trained and cyc ling cockatoos. Some enterprising gent will be along one of these days with a nest of trained rattlesnakes, but even such an act would have to take second place in point of' novelty to this cockatoo act. That these gawky jungle birds could be civilized and brought to do the tricks they do seems marvelous indeed. The birds do their trainer's bidding. . One. of their most remarkable feats is that of rid ing miniature bicycles down a wire stretched from the . gallery to the stage, over the heads pi the audience. There are 35 birds in this act. Allen, Delmaine and Allen have been making quite a stir this season, and last east of the Rockies, in their orig inal comedy sketch, "A Tin Wedding." In the fun-making business, this troupe stands in a class by itself. Don at Bedlnl will prove a valuable addition to . the ' bill. Bedlnl is a Frenchman, with a comedy and bur desque act that never fails to make the biggest kind of a hit. The French variety of comedy always seems to go good, and Bedlnl is one of the best that has favored the country with a visit. His pets, "Jim" and "Jens," a couple of fox terriers, help out the fun. These little dogs have an under standing of comedy all their own. Polk and Mar tell, European eccen triques, have managed to combine novelty and comedy in such a manner as to make a highly-successful act. They draw a fat salary and are always in demand. Thomas and Paine, colored singers and dangers, are real darkies. It has been said that the negro is a failure at reproducing darky comedy, but this team is one of the few that contradict the saying referred to. . Fred Bauer, the Portland tenor, will sing a new illustrated ballad, and the motion pictures will present a bright, new comedy film. Perfect fitting glasses $1 atMctzger'a. ENGLAND'S NEED OF TARIFF "Will I.ose Commerce Without Pro tection," Says Chamberlain. LONDON, Feb. 8. (Special.) The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain is still strong for protection in England. In a recent letter bearing on the Mid-Devon election he said: "We must look forward to bad times, and there is every prospect that bad trade will follow the exceptional boom that we are coming through. I believe confidently that fiscal reform is the only remedy for the state of things that we must anticipate, and moreover, it is to tariff refom alone that we can look for ward to for closer relations to our colo nies. "I believe that without these closer re lations we shall necessarily sink into t..e fifth rate among nations, and I earnestly trust that the opportunity which now presents itself will not be lost sight of." ENGLAND HAS BEEF TRUST Considers Means to Keep Market From Combine. LONDON, Feb. 8. (Special.) Eng lishmen are in a state of excitement over the exactions of the beef trust, although it is not auite clear whether the trust is an American or British Institution. At a Common Council meeting at the Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. It was decided to refer to the cattle markets committee for consideration the following reso lution of the Wardmote of Aldcrsgate- "That this Wardmote regrets to learn that the trade of the Central Meat Mar ket is gradually getting into the hands of. the meat trust to. the detriment ot the consumer, and calls upon the corporation, as the market authority, to safeguard the interests of consumers." Mr. Ellis said lie cared not whether the trust was an English or an American trust. The point was that the people af Aldcrsgate who lived near the markets said the price of meat was beyond what it should be. The matter was one that affected ' 6.000,000 people, and the corporation, as the market authority, should see that It became part of their business to look into the matter. Mr. Cooper declared that there would . not be an ounce of British produce in the markets in a few years. The Ameri cans would get the markets in their own hands and manipulate them for their own purposes. POPE AIDS LIQUOR FIGHT Gives Support to League of th White Cross. ROME, Feb. 8. (Special.) The League of the White Cross, a society for combat ing the evil of alcoholism, constituted under the patronage of the French car dinals and bishops, has obtained fronv the holy father a special favor, that of his ' active co-operation.
