Fourteenth and Washington street: , will he tho tuneful musical-comedy success. "The District T,eador." This merry offer ing bad its first product ion at Wa Hack's Theater. New York, and Is a satisfying evening's entertainment of the light var iety, and wfll greatly outclass many of the productions that have been more copf ousl y hera Med a nd more hi gh 1 y ac- chimed. The story of "The District Leader s an Intermixture of melodrama, comedy and comic opera, with a vfvacious bunch of show girls, which combination pro duces a happy effect. The melodramatic strain without the chorus girls and the car tickling musical numbers might prove depressing. ' but the occasional in troduction of these lessens tlio serious ness of the plot, when the opportunity for a heroic situation presents itself and the tragic ensemble gives way to the Jovous show girls and the catchy music. Pan Lawton and Tim Holloran are rivals for political honors. The younger man is in love with his opponent's daughter. Tho father of the girl resorts to dis honest tactics in endeavoring to secure his election, the plan being to inveigle his drtUirhter's lover to an opium joint and then cause a ra;d uinm the place, having the story printed in the newoapers on the morning of election cay and thereby cause his opponent's downfall, all - of which gives ample opportunity for melo dramatic effects, many change of scene and a variety of costumes. "The District Leader" mav well be called a "novelty," for tt introduces many things that are really new. Among the song hits of the piecf are "When You Go Out to Dine." "Way Down in .Jersey." "ro?" "A Heart to "Let." "Sr.g Sing Sammy Sera." "What s the I'se of Dreaming Z" "Won't You Be My GirlieT" and The Same Old Story."

This is the last wuck of the French Stock Company at the Star Theater and for the closing" attraction Manager Richard B- French has selected a comedy drama, "How Baxter Butted In." A week from today the company will open its engagement in Tacoma. so that the last performance of the popxilar organisa tion in Portland will be next Saturday night. Mr. French will hold a reception on the stage after the final performance. "How Baxter Butted In' will be a lively bill for the closing week of the long engagement, which, has run almost into a year at the Star Theater. "How Baxter Butted In" is by Owen Davi. a man who understands how to write an interesting play. This is more of a comedy with a plot than anything else. It has never been seen in Portland but once before and the play, given at Star price's, will be one of the theatrical bargains of the season. The scenes of "How Baxter Butted In" are laid in a small Eastern village. The village hotel, the village church and other small town centers of interest are used as the back ground for a story which is at all times amusing. There are opportunities for tears and smiles but principally smiles. Baxter is a commercial traveler, a drummer. He visits the small town in the interest of the hoiwe he represents endeavoring to disposw of his samples. He arrives at the hotel and the first act is devoted to the fun which results from assemoiing the various country hotel characters, ranging from the pro prietor to the waitresses and the bell boy. The heroine is a good yotiDg girl who is under suspicion by her friends and relatives and they hold, a meeting in tiie churih where the girl m being 4K "t . 1 : Kill.ll.

Tuesday, Wednesday nights. April 27, 2S. 29. with a special matinee Wednesday afternoon, will be America's foremost negro Impersonators, Mclntyre and Heath, in their famous musical play, "The Ham Tree." The following taken from the San Francisco Bulletin of April 7 tells how this happy offering was re ceived in that city: "That loquacious vegetable. 'The Ham Tree. is simply a scream all the way through. The more you see of Mclntyre and Heath the funnier they seem, and in their 18 months absence from San Francisco they have become uproarious ly exhilarating. You cannot listen to them two nights running and keep your sanity. "Everything about the show, as it ap pears at the Van Ness. Is goodsilly, of course, but the kind of silliness that a normal person with a healthy diaphragm would travel miles to find. There is a large and well-drilled chorus of those nice, long-legged. loose-join ted. close musckd girls who know how to make dancing a fascination, enough inconse Huential but lilting music to give the two dark stars an occasional rnsr. several Broadway denizens of a mildly humorous capacity scattered about, a couple of buxom, carefully curr'ed ladies, and a fellow who sings tip-top tenor through his nos with the gusto of a boulevard report artist, Naturally, however. Mclntyre and Heath are the Hamlets of the produc tion. All the rest are merely trimmings for the excruciating sketch they have been Indulging years without end. If the trimmings had been poor the au dience would have resented it; as they happened to be bright and decorative, they were just noted, enjoyed and for gotten. But if you had a friend at the shov he will probably stop you on the stre a fortnight hence, begin an imaginary scooping 00 the sidewalk with' an in visible spade and say "Alexander, come heati and he'p me shovel dese dough nuts!" Then both you and he will go into gales and spasms of laughter until the alarmed policeman wants to call the van from the Detention Hosiptal. It's a secret. You can't understand it or grasp Us hilarious algniftoa nee tint ft you hear Mclntyri and Heath. WILTON LACK A V K COMN MOX One of Ann'rlca fireatcwl. Actor to Present Cnlne "'The Bondman."

Starting next Sunday matinee, April 26, the Baker Stock Company will pre sent William Gillette's famous detective play, "Sherlock Holmes," and so great was the success of "Raffles" recently, as given by this clever organization, that everyone is expecting something far out of the ordinary in this other fascinating modern drama. There are several plays of indifferent nature in which the great Conan Doyle criminal hunter is the central figure, but this is the only one that is in the class of stage productions such as the Baker Company is noted for presenting to its patrons. That Mr. Allison will make an Ideal Holmes, no one who saw him in "Raffles' will for a moment doubt, and his support in the members of the Baker Company will be much better than the average star carries on the road. Musical Comedy seasoii. The Armstrong Musical Comedy Com pany will open an indefinite season at the Star theater, following the French Stock Company. It has been several years since musical comedy has been presented in Portland and at popular prices. This or ganization has just closed a long and successful engagement in British ' Co lumbia.
