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

ville, and last season were the principal
funmakors in "The Wizard of Oz."
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.

or March 2.
Hayden and Davis will be seen in a
comedy with musical flourishes, and Ivan-

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.
