The- baker stock company will pre
sent one of Its former immense suc
cesses lor the week opening with to
day's matinee, which is Hall faine's ln
tensij drama, "The Kteinal City." This
was 'produced by the company about
two years ato, and made such u'dei Ulcil
lilt and Mich a prufoutul Impression
upon the mind of everyone who saw it
Bt the i time, that It w as necessary to
run the piece over three nishts into the
following week. Tliere wus no ques
tion at that time but it would huve
continued to pack the house for the
entire" second week had It been so con
tinued. Its (treat euocess lies In the pe
culiar and magnetic power of the
theme; the characters represented, and
the splendid scenic effects.
The scene of the play is Rome. the
Kternal- City and the period is some
fiate In the distant future. The princi
pal characters are ttossi, a loader of the
people, and their pojmlar Idol; Kama,
the ward of the Prime Minister, with
whom Koscd is in love; the Prime Min
ister, a powerful character, who him
self loves his beautiful ward. The
Pope appears In a grand. Impressive
scene, and the play is tilled with the
mot intense and Interesting action
throughout. The love of these two
young people. Koma aud liossl. remains
steadfast and true, surrounded as they
are with plots. Intrigues and counter
plots against them and their love for
each other, in which the Prime Minis
ter llgurts most prominently, using hie
high position and his shrewdness and
cunning -to separate them. In the end,
however, all comes, out right the ro
mantic young lm-er are united all the
clouds have passed away and KossI
has risen to the high position" jof dicta
tor over the Koman people. The rol
of llmiia will be played by Miss Kent,
and It is one for which this popular
member of the Ilaker stock conipany
is unusually well fitted.

"crrn At VASSAK."
Girls' Musical College, Play at Heilig
Next Thursday.
Jules furry's newest "play, with music,
has been well named "Cupid at Vassar,"
for in It the little god plays no end of
pranks on the various members of the lit
tle coterie of good people with which the
story deals, before the ttnai curtain. Kate,
the heroine, loves the only man she ought
to love, and he loves her. but there are
stolen letters and - natutrtUy. resulting
misunderstandings that no true lover can
pat up .with or no high-spirited tsirl ex
plain. And so tlie course of this love
story does not sun smooth and trials come
and try tlie hearts of the onlookers as
well as those of the chief actors in the
drama. The strength of the -story has
caught the attention of many of the re
viewers. . In so many of the so-called
"musical pieces" the story goes for noth
ing and the authors rely upon the songs
and the people In the cast to carry them
through. The romance woven about the
heroine In the tale of "Cupid at Vassar"
occupies so worthy a place on the dra
matic stage that, were it robbed of ay of
the accessories of scenery and- speoial
cast and music and specialties with which
it is garbed, it would be as strong as the
most Intense love story how on the stage.
"Cupid at Vassar" will be seen at the
Heilig Theater, Fourteenth and Washing
ton streets, next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights. April 16. 17 and IS. with
a special matinee- Saturday. -

An extraordinarily tine attraction
will be seen at the Lyric for the week

Marie" is a standard drama that has
held Its own for many seasons and Is
always to be relied upon, to command
attention and hold public interest. It
Is well adapted to the Allen Stock
Company, the various parts being"
singularly suited to the Allen players.
There is a quantity of brilliant comedy
to lighten It up. while the pathos and
sentiment of the lines, combined with
the exciting situations, make it an
ideal drama. It is one of those plays
that please ymtng and old. the grand
parents and the little children, and
all who attend the theater. .While not
strictly a melodrama. It has all its good
features with the good qualities of
conservative drama. Verna Felton in
tlie duel leading roles of Jean Ingle
side and Marie DuBols (La Belle
Marie) has some splendid opportunities
and will distinguish herself, as every
one knows she can when she has a role
to suit. ttevelle I'rquhart. the new

"A Friend of the Family."
After today there will be no chance
to see that funny farce in which the
Allen company has been making such
a hit at the Lyric all week. It Is "A
Friend of the Family" and everybody
who knows anything about the stage
knows it is the funniest farce ever.
Matinee today and last performance to
night. "A HOOS1ER DAISY."
Celebrated Comedy-Prama at the
Star Theater This Afternoon.
But two more plays will be given by
the. French (stock company before clos
ing its engagement in Portland. The
first of these two attractions will be
offered this week at the Star Theater,
commencing writh the matinee this
afternoon. This bill will be "A Hooster
Daisy." Other matinees will be given
as usual on Tuesday. Thursday and
Saturday. There is always- such a de
mand for accommodations at the Sun
day performances at the Star' that
those desiring to attend this afternoon
or evening should make their reserva
tions at the box office as early as
possible.
"A Hoosier Daioy" Is a celebrated
comedy-drama, which has never been
played In Portland, although it has an
enviable reputation in the Kast. The
play takes its name from the principal
female character, an Indiana product.
Indiana has. of late, come to the front
as the scene of dramas and comedies,
as well as from a literary standpoint.
"A Hoosier Daisy" is one of the pio
neers along this new mine of material.
It is a play of a pastoral type, although
differing materially and absolutely
from the usual bucolic drama, which
has its scenes in the Xew England
states. The character types peculiar
to the Hoosier State are introduced in
this play to advantage, and as there
are many former residents of Indiana

found of extraordinary Interest to
them, as well as to those who have
never visited that particular section.
The comedy element in "A Hoosier
Daisy" Is prominent at all times and Is
only made subservient to the heavier
scenes when the dramatic requirements
insist. There Is a moving love story
threading its way through the four
acts of the play. To the main love
story there "is also a secondary one in
which the younger people participate.
A fortune is at stake in "A Hoosier
Daisy," and this supplies the motive"
for such wicked plotting as develops
in the course of tlie drama.
A well-acted and well-staged produc
tion is guaranteed' by Manager R. E.

"THE DISTRICT LEADER."
Tuneful Mnsieal Comedy Success
Coming to the Heilig.
One of the best equipped musical pro
ductions on the road today is "The Dis
trict Leader." which Is to have a presen
tation at the Heilig Theater, April 22, 23,
21 and 25. The chorus Is not only large
enough to fill any Btage, but the voices
are the sort that take an opera score and
make the very best of all there is in it.
"The District Leader" moves with a
swing and dash, and when it is all over,
you leave the theater and expect to find
the lights of Herald Square blazing in
front and all around you. The piece was
produced "at Wallack's Theater, New
ml
f-
York,' . and every costume, piece of
scenery, every electrical effect and every
property used In Wallack's will be seen
hee.
Strange Adventures of Miss Brown.
The numerous admirers of the Baker
stock company's 'popular 'leading man,
George Alison, will enjoy- the rare nov
elty of seeing him dressed in the. garb
feminine next week, when he assumes
the character of "Miss Brown," in ..the
famous farce comedy, "The Strange Ad
ventures of Miss Brown." He is a dash
ing young officer, who is very much
in love with A particularly charming
young woman. But her parents frown
upon the lovemaking of tlie two, and
spirit her away to a young ladies' eem
inary, where no man is ever permitted
to encroach. But nothing daunted, this
daring gentleman hits upon a plan by
which he can accomplish a plan to fool
them by disguising himself as a young
woman aspiring to enter the school.
The mlxups that follow are excruciat
ingly funny, and keep the audience in
a state of constant laughter. Opening
performance next Sunday matinee.
PAXTAGES OFFERS NEW BILL
Don Fulano, Trained Horse, Is on
This Week's Programme.
With two feature acts that are unex
celled in the realm of vaudeville and an
excellent programme of supporting fea
tures, Pantages offers a particularly at-
tractive btll ttrts week. Tt is one that
will appeal ostxHtlally to the children and
-older folk wilL have plenty to interest
ami entertain them.
.The., programing .for the week just
'closed, Including as It did Makmurt, a
violinist such as the public of Portland
is 'seldom enabled to see at such realson-
.able prices.and the other performers
an artists in their nm-a, proved a strong
drawing:, cart for the popular home of
vaudevillo. But this week Manager
Johnson has provided some features that
will be a revelation to those who are
seeking the unique and marvelous in the
line of entertainm'nt. A better proof
of this could not be given than to men
tion the fact that the .tar feature of this
week's bill will be Don ir'ulano, "the
black beauty of vaudeville," th - horse
of human intelligence.- ' Don Fulano, a
coal-black beauty, bred upon tlie stock
farm of Marcus Daly, is but '6 years old,
but he baa been ho well schooled that he
exhibits an Intelligence that is nothing
short of tiic marvelous, and he is capa
ble of performing tricks that were un
heard of for a dumb .animal before Don
made his debut upon the vaudeville
stage. Don Fulano is worth the whole
price of admission alone and those who
fail to see him will have something to
regret.
As a second feature act the O'Brien
troupe, of high-class acrobats have no
;;,-:.
seconds in their chosen line. These
marvelous contortionists and exponents
of gymnastic skill feature "Naomi,' the
human cannon-ball. "Naomi is placed
in the mouth of a real cannon, loaded
with, real powder, and is actually fired
from the muzzle of the murderous wea
pon of war. Don't shudder. "Naomi"
doesn't get a scratch, and after being
fired from the cannon will smile in ap
preciation of your applause. This Is
one of the most thrilling acts seen on tho
vaudeville stage today and you will miss
it If you do not see it.
In addition to these star acts, Waldron
brothers, the funny Dutch comedians,
and Tom Maloney. the Irish comedian
and story-teller, will furnish laughter
and amusement. Winifred Stewart, the
phenomenal woman baritone, is a singer
well worth hearing. Jean Wilson, tht
popular illustrated song singer, will be
heard in something new and pleaslr.
The biograpil will present the latest up-to-date
animated pictures.
There will be a epecia! matinee Satur
day for the women and children, at
which Don Fulano will entertain his lit
tle friends. Each lady and child w.a
receive, at this matinee, a souvenir pho
tograph and sketch of the wonderful lit
