'THE TOYMAKER" COMIN'G The San Francisco Opera-Company ' at Hcllig xt Week. -The Toymaker," the comic opera which the San Francisco Opera Com pany will present at the Heillg Theater for three nights, beginning next Thurs day, March 19, with a special price mat inee Saturday, is one of the few pieces destined to be perennially popular. The opera haa all the requirements that nerve to make a successful entertain ment. The book Is filled to the brim and overflowing with good, wholesome comedy, while the score fairly bristles with melody. "The Toymaker" tells the story of : an eccentric old German inventor of ' toys, who has as his crowning master ; piece Invented a wonderful doll that n.tn HfnrA talk, crv and laugh i like a human being. It is made In the likeness of his daughter, Elsa. The I latter becoming Jealous of the atten ! tlons bestowed by her father on the automatom. In a fit of anger destroy it.

The complications which lead up to and follow the wedding are many and extraordinarily funny. Teddy Webb, as the Toymaker. has one of the hest comedy parts of his ' career, and Daphne Pollard's pretty face and dainty figure is particularly well suited to the requirements of the toymaker's daughter. Eugene Wiener, a handsome young fellow, the possessor of a truly beautiful tenor voice, and one of the best actors on the operatic stage, plays Frederick, the young monk. List ed amongst the members of the chorus are such beauties as Ruby Norton, Stella Gray, Mabel Hilllard, Anna Chapman. Ethel Manning. Gene Gentry, Maude Elliott and Mabel Deane. eight of the prettiest and liveliest girls, who - assist Teddy Webb in his doll song. "COMING T1IIUV THE RYE" Musical Success at the Heilig Next Sunday Night. What must be regarded as one of the ' leading amusement events of the sea son will occur at the Heilig Theater Fourteenth and Washington streets, for four nights beginning next Sun day, March 22, with a special-price matinee Wednesday, when the famoue musical comedy success, "Coming Thro' the Rye," will be presented. It will be given by the great original com pany of SO comedians, singers and danc ers, headed by Frank Lalor, whose i performance in this piece has placed him solidly in the front ranks of Amer ica's foremost comedians. "Coming Thro' the Rye" toured the 1 United States last season, and it made ' a record of success and attendance everywhere which has never been equaled by any musical comedy. It is described as one of the vast produc tions which is not only characterized by an immense presenting company, hut which is given with remarkable . display of scenery and costumes, and electrical effects which distinguish the elaborate productions which are pre pared for the big Broadway theaters in New York. Coming Thro the Rye" was written by George V. Hobart. a distinguished humorist, and the music was composed by A. Baldwin Sloane, who has more successes of this sort to his credit than any writer of musical comedy scores who has come forward in this country in many years. The comedy element of mis piece is said to Keep an audience screaming with laughter from begin ning to finish, except when relief Is afforded by some unusually striking and effective musical number. If this production is greeted In this city as it has been elsewhere, it will ho witnessed by as many people as can get within the four walls of the the ater. The original company and pro duction In every detail will be seen here, and theatergoers may confidently rely tipon a performance of the very highest order of excellence. ;korge alisox ext week Popular Portland Favorite Opens Next Sunday at the Baker. The popular hading man. George Ali son, will open his engagement with the Haker company next Sunday matinee. March 2i, in the great Nat Goodwin suc cess, "When We Were Twenty-one," and this is an event of more than passing interest to patrons of the popular stock company. No more favorite actor has ever appeared on the Baker stage than Mr. Alison, and the role of Dick Carewe in "When We Were Twenty-one" is a splendid one for him to return in. for this is one of the most noble characters ever created in a play. Donald Bowles will again play his successful part of "The Imp" and Miss Stoddard, who has won it warm place in the heart of Baker patrons the past two weeks, will essay the beautiful role of Phyllis, created by Maxinn Elliott. "When We Were Twenty-one" is a play one can see time and time again and never grow tired of and its place on the stage of today is high amongst the immortals. JAMES COKBETT COMIXG Clever Actor Will Present Comedy Drama at the lleilig Theater. In introducing Mr. James J. Corbett In last season's successful offering. "The Burglar and the Lady." the management realizes the fact that there are but few men who have been so constantly in the public eye In the past few years as he. and while much has been written and printed about him. It Is not generally known that he had ambitions to shins as a footllght favorite lonsT before he be came famed a an athlete. In fact, he made his professional appearance in 1SSS at San Francisco, playing a part in a burlesque on "Camllle," and associated with him In the cast were Mtss May Ir win, Mr. Willie Collier and a number of others whose names now head their own companies. His first star part mas in a drama writ ten for him, stlyed "Gentleman Jack," and it was followed by "The Adventurer" and "The Naval Cadet," all of which were highly successful artistically, and the show world began to take Mr. Corbett seriously as an actor: in fact, a flattering offer from a vaudeville syndicate di vorced him from the legitimate, and for six years he was headliner in all the best of the continuous houses, presenting a unique monologue. At the beginning of last season, when the Barnard Shaw craze was at its height, the Irish cynic's satire "Cashel Bynon's Profession," was dramatized and present ed for a run at Daly's Theater, with Mr. Corbett In the name part, and his success in the difficult role may be better judged by the fact that the entire Metropolitan press was most generous in recognition of his efforts. Mr. Corbett will present "The Burglar and the Lady" at the Hei lig Theater, March 26-27. ox THAXKSGIVIXG BAY' French Stock Company Will Present Xew Play at the Star. "On Thanksgiving Day'" will be pre sented for the first time in Portland at the Star Theater this afternoon and will be the attraction for the week In this popular house. The French Stock Com pany appeared in this play a year ago in Seattle and scored a decided success. The critics of Seattle declared "On Thanks- giving Day" one of the best plays of its kind that had been presented in that city in many seasons. Practically the same cast that appeared in the play in Seattle will be seen at the Star Theater this week. The scenes in "On Thanksgiving Day" are laid near a small village in a New England state. It is a pastoral play, for the most part, and the story is one of those wholesome, quiet and interesting affairs which never fail to win the re gard of a city audience. Plays of this kind are always in favor with city audi ences and the "way down East" flavor of "On Thanksgiving Day" will fill a long-felt want. Owen Davis is the author of the play and as Is well known to the patrons of the Star every play of this author which has been produced by the French Stock Company has been an ar tistic and financial success. There are few dramatists who are more skilled word painters than Mr. Davis and in "On Thanksgiving Day" he Introduces a number of new character types. Among these Is the "jumping Frenchman," a character little known In the West, but common in the down East country. He is a stammerer who repeats every line he utters. "On Thanksgiving Day" tells a simple and direct story in four acts and the in terest is so well sustained that there is no time during the performance when the play does not hold the attention. Each act will be well staged under the direction of George Berry. Matinees will be held today, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. BRILLIANT BILL AT PANT AGES Melbourne MacDowell and Virginia Trescott Head Now Show. . Characteristic enterprise is shown in the announcement that the famous tra gedian and star, Melbourne MacDowell, will head the new bill at Pantages for the week opening Monday. Assisted by the widely-known actress, Virginia Drew Trescott, Mr. MacDowell will present the tragic dramatic sketch. "The Oath," in which his abilities as an eminent inter preter of important roles in the world of dramatic art are shown to fine ad vantage. The MacDowell-Trescott ap pearance is one of the notable events of the season, and were they appearing at any house other than the popular and enterprising Fourth-street establishment the price per seat would be $2. MacDowell will be remembered as one of the greatest interpreters of Sardou plays. He starred with Fannie Daven port, his wife, for several years, cover ing the entire continent with great suc cess. He has the same personal magnet ism, voice and virility that marked his earlier successes, while Virginia Drew Trescott has been hailed as the legiti mate successor to Fannie Davenport, in her stage presence and acting ability. She is a woman of histrionic gifts, depth of feeling and Intellectual power. Her appearance here will be of especial mo ment, in view of the fact that she is a native Oregonian and has hundreds of personal friends in Portland. Supplementary to this remarkable fea ture there will be a host of good features. Koffman brothers, burlesque operatic vocalists, are worthy of feature place on any bill, as evidenced that another vaude ville circuit has persistently tried to buy them off. They present burlesque ver sions of famous operas as sung by iroted stars of the grand opera stage. Matthews and Harris have a new far cical creation In their "Adam the Sec ond." which has been going big the country over. These people will add a bright spark to the already brilliant bill. Carlisle & Baker, colored aristocrats. J. jS ' fVf -K - if jf1" .a-! - . 1 'ill l fx -.r - t'i il f Ti - iM' ft &f - J Ki"S'- - 3 have a new musical act in which rag time and darky melodies figure. They use two pianos in their act and do some clever novelty playing. Frederick & Burr, comedy Jugglers, are classed among the best and those who have been fortunate enough to see their work say they stand in a class apart. Jean Wilson, the popular baritone, will sing a new illustrated song and the bio graph will reel off something new in the moving picture line. This is a bin you cannot afford to miss. The bill of the past week, just conclud ing, has been one of unequaled values, with an all-star aggregation of vaude ville people. Murphy and Winard, the Florenz Troupe. Polk and Collins, Marion and Pearl. Arthur Huston, Jean Wilson, and the olograph make up the billing. See . It today by ail means. LIVELY BILL AT THE GRANT Clever Vaudeville Specialties Will Bo Found on New Programme. Tomorrow afternoon the new pro gramme of vaudeville will be offered at the Grand, and while the past week has seen a good show, the new one .will be even better. The four corners of the earth have been searched for clever vau deville specialties and the result is a programme which will delight all who like this light and lively entertainment. The position of headliner goes to Gilday and Fox, who are said to be England's foremost Hebrew impersonators. They were a success in London and were brought to this country during the rage for advanced vaudeville In the East. They have been secured by Sullivan & Consi dine and now come to the Pacific Coast for the first time. This act is consid ered one of the most amusing Hebrew delineations seen in America. For the special added attraction the Grand presents a girl act, such as are now coming into vogue in the larger the aters of the East. May Redalle and her village cut-ups will appear in a bunch of singing and talking specialties, grouped into a rural playlet. There is a turn which will make one of the hits of the week, if the Portland audiences are like those, in other cities. Armstrong and Levering are giving a bicycle act. They .are expert cyclists and every trick that any other wheelman can do they" do.- Hobson and . Sheldon have a comedy sketch which they call "Meet Me- in Syracuse." It is a laugh from the mo ment they make their appearance until the finish. Rose and Severans come with one of the funniest of burlesque automo bile acts. Their machine does everything but talk, and the nearest it comes to talking is blowing up. Eddie Powers, a blackface comedian, will tell the latest Jokes. Miss Seaward will render the il lustrated ballad and F. F. Montressa's motion waves will depict the latest film story from Paris. Today will close the current bill, headed by Carlisle's animals. High PraUe for "Dream City." S. Morton Cohn, manager of the Marquam Theater, has received- the following letter from John Cort, gen eral manager of - the Northwestern Theatrical Association, speaking In terms of high praise for "Dream City." which opens for a week's run at the Marquam tonight: "Seattle. Wash.. March 13. Mr. S. M. Cohn, Marquam Grand Theater, Port land, Or. My Dear Mr. Cohn: Just want to tell you what a corking good show you will have with you next week in 'Dream City. It is one of the best things we have had on the circuit all season, and it is bound to please; you cannot recommend it too highly to your patrons. Yours truly. "JOHN CORT." THE MOVIXG-PICTCRE CRAZE Latent Amusement Fad Driving Ac . tors to Other Employment. The moving picture tidal has swept across the amusement world, engulfing and submerging all other forms of cheap amusement. The dime museum is done for, vaude ville is sapped at its foundation and the cheap dramatic company Is going, going, gone! It is because a man or a maid for a dol lar can have the whole world for a peep show. A dollar means 20 complete bills at as many nickelodeons. The spectator for his nickel may be edified, instructed, amazed or amused. You can see Li Hung Chang carried in his sedan chair by New York policemen, Theodore Roosevelt thundering at pre datory wealth every move a picture and every picture a move. McKinley walks among uie crowds to his death at an assassin's hands, the Japs charge on 210 Metre Hill at Port Arthur, the Russian prisoners go by downcast and unkempt. For your nickel you can see the Lusi tania gliding from her pier, the battle ship Oregon firing her great guns, the Farnham airship in full flight, the Hol land submarine boat going down. Mount ' Vesuvius going up! The Kaiser salutes you over your nickel the Pope blesses you for five cents. Tet razzini throws you a kiss and then from, the hidden phonograph that wondrous voice of hers climbs up, on. up, blithely beautiful, to the highest note with which she caps the cadenza in "PJgoietto." Pictures of mirth, pictures of magic, pictures of peril and all for a njckel. For II you may behold more things than were ever dreamed of In any one's philosophy, Horatio! Nickelodeon Bright and Attractive. The nickelodeon Is bright and aggres sive. The "opry house" of the average small American towns Is stuck away on a side street somewhere over a hard ware store or a butcher shop or a saloon over .something, anyway. It is dark, dreary and dirty. The nickelodeon man gets a lease on an empty store on the main street, tears out the old front, puts in a new one. dazzling white and of ornate design and near-art decorations. A girl In the box office sells tickets for $5 a week, an operator at $10 manipulates the lights and runs the pic ture reel through the blograph. If it is a. good-sized town, and the busi ness or competition calls for It, a pianist may be employed, and a cheap vaudeville team who change their bill twice a week. These last. In dances and comedy acts and illustrated songs that is, songs sung while the operator changes highly-colored stereopticon slides, give variety. That isn't the last word for the moving picture show. There ars traveling mov ing picture shows now with superlative "effects." The usual "effects" are appro priate sounds and noises with the pic tures. The crash box with ths comedy tumble, the cocoanut shells "Clup a clup! Clup a clup!" when the runaway horse comes up the street, the bell on the loco motive, the whistle on the steamer, etc. But now they have moving picture ma chines to which phonographs are syn chronized. Voices follow or keep pace with gestures, efforts and expressions as the pictures flicker on the screen. This isn't alL Moving picture teams are added terrors of the time. A man and woman, sometimes several, stand behind and emit dialogue to suit .the characters that move and have their being on the. films. Twenty -tfive million dollars are Invested In the moving picture business in the United States. There is a moving picture trust and moving picture "inde pendents": the business has half a dozen trade papers, two in this city alone, de voted exclusively to moving pictures, not to count the space, reading and advertis ing given up to this amusement phase by such old-established show papers as the Clipper, the Billboard, Varieties and the like. The best trick or magical pictures come from France. The best comedy pictures and dramatic pictures are made In Amer ict. They are all taken from life. Of the moving picture business it cannot be said "Tricks in all businesses but this," for moving picture taking is full of tricks, and weird and wonderful things are done through faking, substituting and "double printing." as it is called when one mov ing picture is incongruously Incorporated into another moving picture and all the eye may detect is the wonderment of it. The ordinary moving picture is sold at the rate of from 15 to 12 cents per foot when new. Second-hand, it varies In price according to the popularity of the subject and the condition of the film. Coloring must be done by hand, save where a plaiii red tint for a fire scene or a light bluish green tint for moonlight is employed. The coloring process by hand is tedious and must be painstakingly done, as color not placed just exactly right In every picture will bob around and Jump when shown. Taking moving pictures and showing moving pictures simply means that so many separate and distinct pictures a second, say 15. were taken, and When from the negative film a- positive film was printed and fixed the positive film was run through a projecting machine and 15 separate pictures a second were flashed, one after another, in the same spot on the screen. The eye sees no movement in the scene, only the moving objects are made to move by this distinct flashing up of 15 successive photographs, one after another, per second. Before the Coooper-Hewitt and other forms of non-actinic electric lights were known moving pictures could only Je taken by gobd, bright daylight, save at prohibitive expense. The first moving picture of any Importance taken by arti ficial light was the Sharkey-Jeffries fight. This picture cost the American Blograph Company $10,000 to take. Five miles of film were used and 200 arc lamps were employed. The heat of these sickened and exhausted the gladiators. Posing the Pictures. Even more Interesting than seeing mov ing pictures coming out of the projecting machine Is to see them going Into the blograph camera. Last week we gained the guarded por tals of the Blograph Studio, on West Fourteenth street, and saw them taking "The Snow Man." The stage was set with a schoolhouse background. The floor was ankle deep with sawdust (It took white as snow in the picture, be cause they made "a stest strip" to see). As the boy and girl actors came- pouring out from school, shouting and gesticu lating, the property men in the flies tossed down handful after handful of white confetti. Electric fans out of the picture made the confetti swirl and scat ter. When you see that picture you will take an oath it was snapped during a merry blizzard. Snow is on the ground, snow is in the air. snowballs of cotton wool are being tossed to and fro. You will swear it is snow. The Interior of the blograph studio is as a stage without the footlights. A photographic "field" is jnarked off by a cord tacked down to the floor. Step over that cord down front and you will show in the picture distorted, footless, legless. Step over the cords at the side and your are gone, you are nowhere, so far as the picture is concerned. The day we were there we saw Mana ger McCutcheon. of the company, and his troupe of biograph actors taking the merry domestic comedy of "The Yellow Peril." A housewife with servant troubles hires a Chinaman, and then she has more servant troubles. The cook throws him out of the window, the courting police man clubs him. He eats the goldfish and pleads for rat fricassee, and all is tur moil and assault and battery. . The actors in moving pictures are real actors. Joseph Jefferson has played "Rip" for the moving pictures. Ross and Fenton have done "Oliver Twist" in the moving pictures. Anna Held has en cated the wineglass scene from "Papa's Wife" for the moving pictures and such well-known actors as Eugene Canfield, Charles Bradford, Neil McNeil. Katherine Jefferson, Taylor Holmes, Rose Stuart and Margaret Wycherly just to name a few have played pantomimic parts in moving picture comedies. In the United States costly moving pic ture theaters of the most complete and ornate description are being erected. The store show, obtains all over Europe, from Madrid to Moscow, almost as plentiful as here. Shrewd showmen say the business is Just begun. So good-by. Uncle Tom! Roy L. McCardell in the New York World. PAINTS PORTRAIT OF KING Edward Presented "With Picture Don by Thomas Cole. TiONDOJf, March 14. (Special.)
