4 5 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY
Klaw & Erlangrr Will Present Geo.
Cohan-s Musical Tlay aU Hellig.
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.

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

have been specially engaged for Kling

Parsifal will be given at the Marqnam

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

certs which the chorus trained by Wil

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.

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.
