THE SUNDAY OREGONIAJX, PORTLAND, MARCH 1, 1905. 3 uniformed rants, the comedy and the heroics. "Way Down "West" appeals to .he better class of theatergoers and Is a rlay which will be found of the high tat type. The French Stock Company, of course, will give a splendid performance, for this will be the first opportunity they have had for a bit of suppressed emo tional acting and quiet, effective acting in several months. The play will be pro duced properly and no money will be spared to make it complete In every de tail. The uniforms will be correct down to the buttons. "Way Down West" will be the hit of the week and should play to capacity. "THE VIRGINIAN" AT IIFJLIG W. S. Hart aa the Virginian and Frank Campeau as Trampas. The engagement of "The Virginian" at the Hellig Theater, Fourteenth nd Washington streets, for three nights, be ginning next Thursday, March 5, with a special price matinee, Saturday, will doubtless afford much satisfaction to the patrons of that theater. This play has already proved one of the most success ful dramatizations of recent production, for it has captivated even those unfa miliar with Owen Wlstcr's novel, while with the multitude to whom the story has become a loved association, the play is especially appreciated. "The Virginian" is delightfully refresh ing in Its characterization, in its hearti ness. In its roughness, and in the pic turesqueness of cowboy life on the West ern plains, with its romances, its real comedies and tragedies, its home life at the ranches, the' cattle-stealing episodes, etc The cowboy hero of both book and play appeals to ail, on account of his manliness. He is not perfect as judged by the standard of perfection, but he has lived the life common to the plainsman in the early eighties, and he respects women, his heart is big and he is honor able. The Kirke La Shelle Company has the reputation of selecting players who will portray each character true to life, and this season has engaged an exceptionally strong cast. Including W. S. Hart and Frank Campeau. Mr. Hart needs no in troduction to theatergoers, he will be re membered with pleasure for his clever work as Messala In "Ben Hur" and bis great success In "The Squaw Man." He will he the Virginian and Frank Cam peau will again be seen as Trampas. The advance seat sale will open next Tuesday, March 3. at theater1 box office, for the entire engagement. CHARLES B. H.VXFORD COMING Imminent Tragedian and Actor at the Hellig Next Sunday Night. "Of all Shakespeare's historical plays." . says Coleridge, " "Antony and Cleopatra is by far the most wonderful." A spectacular revival of this most won derful historical play will be presented by Charles B. Hanford at the Hellig The ater on Monday and Wednesday nights. As Mark Antony, he offers a worthy sequel to his performance of, the same character in Julius Caesar, which will be of great Interest to the student and equally interesting and entertaining to theatergoers who patronize the theater for an evening's entertainment only. The Antony of this play must be recorded as another addition to his successes in the great characters of Shakespeare. Cleopatra, that rare Egyptian queen, will ho In the hands of that excellent actress, Mijs Alice Wilson, who was last seen here in the support of Nat C Goodwin and with whom she was associated for two reasons, previous to which she ap peared for two seasons with Otis Skin ner, one season with Viola Allen and with Charles Humphrey in his produc tion of "The Message From Mars." A spectacular setting of Egyptian and Roman scenery: a ballet of dancing girls, beautifully and characteristically cos tumcdi; pictures and pleasing electrical ef fects. Including the great scene, "the bat tle and the storm." are a few of the many features introduced to add to the interest and realism of the play. Mr. Hanford will revive two of his former mceesses during his engagement "The Taming of the Shrew" on Sunday night, and "The Merchant of Venice" on Tues day night and at the Wednesday mat inee. The advance seat sale will open next Friday, March 6, at boxofflce the ' theater. '"THE THREE OF IS" 3TEXT Blanche Stoddard, Baker Company's Xew Leading Woman, to Appear. The Baker Stock Company's new lead ing woman. Miss Blanch Stoddard, will open her first week next Sunday matinee, March 8, in Rachel Crothor's great New York success, "The Three of Us." This i play was recently presented in Portland '. at high prices, and has been obtained for i stock only after a great deal of nego ' tiating and the payment of an extremely high royalty. In the complex role of Rhy MacChesney, Miss Stoddard will have splendid opportunity to show Portland theater-goers what a clever actress she is, for there are scenes In the play which run the entire gamut of human emotions. As is generally known. Rhy and her two younger brothers are holding onto a min ing claim in Nevada and all the scenes take place In and about their home. "The Three of ITs" made one of the biggest hits In New York last year and ran the entire season, with Charlotte Nielson in the role of Rhy. The obtaining of a play of this standing to produce at popu lar stock prices is a triumph for Manager George L. Baker and a rare treat for his patrons. ItOYAIi SLAVE" COMING Return of One. ot I.at Season's Big Favorites Next Sunday Matinee. The next event of importance at the Umpire will be the engagement of Clar ence Bennett's production of "A Royal Slave." and the management of the thea ter is to be congratulated upon securing n attraction of such magnificence. The rlay. which deals with life in Old Mexico, st the most romantic time in its history, during the reign of the unhappy Maxi milian, abounds in many thrilling situa tions, at the same time containing a beau f f ul love story of interest. "A Royal Slave" will open next Sunday matinee. Moving Pictures Next Week. For the week of March S at the Mar quam the management has secured a choice collection of moving pictures and Illustrated songs. Owing to a hitch in the bookings, there will be no road at traction in at the Marquam that week, and as it is the policy of the manage ment never to ha-e a dark night they have arranged to fill in the week with a novel entertainment. In addition to the moving pictures there will be several illus trated songs sung. NOTABLE BILL AT THE GRAXD i Theater Announces Programme of ' High-Grade Specialties. . Notable vaudeville artists have been assembled tor the new programme at the Grand, beginning with the matinee tomor : tow afternoon. The feature of the bill i w ill be Crlmmins and Gore. They have ; an act Called "What Are the Wild Waves Saying?" and it is a continual laugh. 1 Crimmins and Gore are among the best I known of the natural comedians In vaude- ............ f !

For the special added attraction there will be the four Brown Brothers and Doc Kealey. They have a high-class comedy musical epecialty, uv which they intro duce the largest saxaphone in the world. DeWltt Young and sister present an act called "The College Boy Juggler," in which the young couple work a few In novations in the juggling line and dis play a number of ideas. Kd and Rolla White have a boxing bout which is inter esting in its way and will be strictly sclentiflo In every way. White was for merly the sparring partner of John 1. Sullivan. ' Mr. and Mrs. Danny Mann return with their playlet "Maudy Hawkins." This is a complete pastoral play in which there are two well-drawn characters. Those who saw "Mandy Hawkins" played by the Manns before will remember that there has never been a similar act pre sented here in vaudeville, nor one which had such a quaint, homely heart iiterest. 6 . 'i i t ' :., 'in Doc Kealey, of Four Brown Bros. vand Kealey, at the Grand, Week; or March 2. Hayden and Davis will be seen in a comedy with musical flourishes, and Ivan- hoe will King his latest Eastern song suc cesses. The moving pictures come from Paris, as usual. Today ends the present big bill, headed by Gilrojv Haynes & Montgomery. PANTAGES GETS VERY BEST Many Strong Acts Are Signed I'p lor the Ensuing Week. Patrons of Pantages have come to un derstand that good shows are a fixed rule to which there are no exceptions at Pantages Theater. The regular standard is so high that surprise was only to be expected when the management put on a bill during the week just ending that set new mark In vaudeville. Those of you who have seen the bill will agree that you've never seen a better vaudeville en tertainment. Those who go today will reach that conclusion afterwards. The burlesque comedy sketch, "Twisted and Tangled," is the funniest thing In a long time and the ventriloquist novelty act is something which catches the ear and in terest of young and old. The' three Gard ners, Feurt and Window and Herbert the frogman all prove bright entertainers. During the new week a bill of equal quality is being provided. It will be headed by a musical uproar put on by the celebrated French team. Delphino and Del mora. These international musical travesty artists keep the fun going right merrily. They are in the same class as Bunth and Rudd, .who made so much of a hit at Pantages recently. It is & roar from beginning to end of their act. It would be hard, Indeed, to pick out a better vaudeville feature than these two clever funny people. Another bright act. which could well be featured., is the novelty musical act put on by Hayes. Winchell and Russell. These people are indisputably clever and have gone big on every Important circuit of the country. This is their first ap pearance in Portland, however. Stanton and Sandberg, sidewalk con versationalists and comedians, can 'be un hesitating recommended. They have been tried out on the Pantages circuit with flattering results. No better team in their line ever came west of the Mis souri. OrvIIle and Frank, equilibrists and pos turers, have an act all their own. Their feata of posturing are remarkable and their triple somersault turn is a surpris ing bit xf cleverness. The Randalls, expert marksmen, are coming with a new sharpshootlng act, "The Musical Cowboy and Cherokee Blanche." These two experts are known as the two finest shots in the country and their exhibition is not merely clever, it is spectacular and novel. By way of good measure a special act is added in Ranee Transom, the noted col ored funster. Jean Wilson, the popular baritone, will sing a new illustrated song, one that has never been heard here be fore, and the biograph will present some thing strictly new in the motion-picture line.

BREAK INTO DUKE'S CHAPEL Thieves Use Duplicate Keys to Steal Valuable Chalice. LONDON, Feb. 29. Following closely on the robberies at Conrtrai, Amiens, and elsewhere, the theft of a chalice of great value from the Duke of Aren berg's private chapel at Enghlen has caused a gTeat sensation in Belgium. It Is stated that the police are, in possession of a slender clew, which they are now following up. It has been ascertained that the crime was, beyond doubt, the work of experts. The chapel was not broken into in the ordinary way, but was entered by means of duplicate keys. The chalice, which is a beautiful work of art, was evidently the booty which the thieves had in mind, noth ing else being taken. BIG CANALS FOR GERMANY Inspector Gives the Details of Vast Waterway Projects. BERLIN, Feb. 29. (Special.) Some in teresting details of projected South Ger man canals were given in a lecture at ttlm by Inspector Eberhardt. of Stutt gart, a few days ago. The first of the canals which he mentioned is projected between the Neckar and the Danube. It would have a length of 112 kilometers, and the estimated cost Is 28,000,000. It would render the Neckar available for ships of 600 tons register as far as Neckar-Rems, whence the canal would be carried through three tunnels past the windings and shallows of the Rem 3 to Waibllngen, Schorndorf and Gmund. From the last point it must pass by means of a 80-foot cutting into the valley of the Kocher at Aalen. Another cutting would bring it into the Brenz Valley at Heidenheim. whose course It would follow, with one devia tion, to the Danube at Lauingen. Be sides 15 locks, no fewer than eight 'lifts" would be necessary, and one of these, at Gmund, would have to raise the vessels 27S feet. It Is calculated that the 48,000 cubic meters of water required dally for six loaded and six empty vessels would be provided in all except the driest pe riods by the various rivera. The esti moted tonnage passing the canal is about 1,000,000 tons a year. The total rise from the Neckar to Heidenheim would be 900 feet, whence a fall of 150 feet would take the canal to the Danube. The second of the projected waterways is from the Danube to Lake Constance length, 103 kilometers: cost. 00,000,000. It would leave the Danube at Ulm and would pass upstream to the junction of the Danube and Iller, and from there it would leave the Danube at Erbach and proceed to Biberacb. Here there is a difference of elevation of 400 feet to the headwaters of the Schussen, whose course the canal would then follow to its mouth at Langenargen, east of Fried-richshafen. Refuses to Discard Trophies. LONDON, Feb. 29. At Bath Council Councillor Evans persisted In his en deavor to have the Boer rifles removed from the Guildhall staircase. Councillor Plowman deprecated "thi sickly sentimentality, which seemed to consider the feelings of every one but our own." He ironically suggested they should send the rifles back to the Boers with their respectful compli ments, saying they were sorry they took them. . Only two members voted for the removal.
