"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.

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 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.

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.

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!
