THE reopening of Pantages last
week aroused mild interest among
theatergoers and was the. one in
cident of particular importance In the
dullest , week of the entire year. The
Fourth street vaudeville house has
heen completely remodeled, greatly en
larged and the Interior elaborately
decorated. The Grand was the only
other playhouse open and did almost a
record-breaking business.
The Oaks continues to present the
Allen Curtis Company In musical com
edy. "The Merry Grafters" has been
enthusiastically received and will con
tinue tonight. Monday night the new
bill will "be inaugurated. The Grand
and Pantages offer new programmes
tomorrow afternoon.
. Tne announcement that the Orpheum
will open on August 17 came as some
thing of a surprise. It having been
understood that it would not occur for
a month later. Another surprise Is the
changing of the name, it having been
given out that It would continue as the
historic Marquam. playing the Orphe
um attractions. The passing of the
old name causes just a twinge of re
gret, but it natural and appropriate
that the new management should de
sire It to bear the name of the other
theaters on its extensive circuit. Mr.
Putton, the new manager, has taken
hold in a business-like manner and the
success of the venture Is assured In
advance.
Work Is steadily progressing on the
alterations to the Kmpire. to be re
named the Bungalow. It will be neat
as a bandbox when the Baker players
open it early in September. The per
sonnel of the company will remain
much the snme as last season, with the
exception that Sidney Ayres succeeds
George Alison as leading man. Mr.
Alison will be at the head of the Bush
Templn Company. Chicago, next sea
son. Mr. Ayres, who Is now spending
his vacation up the Columbia, was here
last season as leading man with Wil
ton Lackaye.
Commencing tonight J. Louis Mae
Evoy will assume management of the
Nortonla roof garden entertainments
and will offer Angela Way, the
well-known prima donna as the
chief attraction. The Blunkall-At-wond
Company. which temporarily
closed its season at the L,yrlc two
weeks ago. Is spending a delight
ful vacation In camp on the Lower
Willamette. After a complete reor
ganization the company will reopen Its
Lyric engagement In about two weeks.

ORPHEUM OPKXS AIGCST 17
"ove!ty and OrlBlnallty, Iirth nd
Melody Are Promised.
Novelty and originality, rnlrth and mel
ody, will be the predominating features
of the programme for the opening week
of the Orpheum Theater (formerly the
Marquam Grand) beginning Monday, Au
gust 17. Here's the bill: Fred Bond and
Fremont Benton and Company, Grals'
Prodigies, Janet Melville and Evie Stet
son. Clifford & Burke. Wilbur Mack and
Nella Walker, Sadie Sherman. Zeno Jor
dan & Zeno, and the moving pictures.
Fred Bond and Miss Fremont Benton,
with their company of farceurs, present
one of the fiinnlent one-act comedies ever
seen in vaudeville under the title of
"Handkerchief No. 15." For several
years Mr. Bond starred In the Smith &
Bice comedies in the East, and the last
few seasons he has, with Miss Benton,
been featured with the Shubert musical
comedies. Mr. Bond has had wide ex
perience and with natural humor has
made his vaudeville offering distinctly
worth while end possessed with all the
merit and all the care that ordinarily
characterize a three-act farce comedy.
Grais' Prodigies,' remarkable simian per
formers, an aggregation of monkeys and
baboons who perform an amusing and In
teresting act, is a marvelous exhibition
of animal training. Herr G. Grals has
become famous as an educator of animals
and his present act Is his greatest
achievement. The6e animals walk slack
wires, disrobe on a trapese, do "risky"
as expert as Japanese, and any number
f other and ludicrous performances. Herr
Grais has evolved a new creation a spe
cial feature act, "Dlavoleno, Looping the
Loop."
Miss Jeanette Melville and Miss Eva.
Stetson have for years been considered
the most popular comediennes In vaude
ville. Breezy, bright and Inimitable In
style, they always win an audience and
laughter is the principal qualification
which they aim for and invariably suc
ceed In gaining.
Clifford and Burke, burnt cork make
ups. These comedians are - genuinely
funny and their dialogues and songs orig
inal and new. They are very popular
with Orpheum patrons.
Wilbur Mack, assisted by Nella Walker,
present a musical skit entitled "The
Bachelor and the Maid." Miss Walker is
an attractive and clever actress and a
charming vocalist and Mr. Mack Is a
particularly talented and versatile come
dian. He sings several aongs of his own
composition.
Sadie Sherman offers a neat novelty
called "At the Photographer's" In which
she depicts the different characters that
visit a gallery to be "shot." She has
proven one of the greatest hlta of the sea
son on the Orpheum circuit.
Zcno, Jordan & Zeno present an aerial
act that ranks among the best on the
stage; nothing ever before shown and.
they have scored a distinct success wher
ever they have appeared. The bill con
cludes with the Orpheum moving pictures.
i
IEATIRE ACTS AT PAN'TAGES
Acrobatic Arabs Head Great Bill
That Will Open Tomorrow.
The new Pantages Theater Is an as
sured success. It has played to capacity
houses during the past week. Portland
theater patrons can now aee all the big
European acts that have made good In
the New York. Boston and Chicago
vaudeville theaters. Good as the present
bill is at the Pantages, there will be one
equally entertaining when the new show
starts tomorrow afternoon. There will be
eight big acts on the programme and not
greatest acrobatic acts has been secured
for the headllner. This Is the seven
Zanzibar Arabs, lightning whirlwind
acrobats and pyramid builders: genuine
speedy sons of the desert. This is the
same Arabian troupe that created such a
big sensation by their acrobatic stunts
at the New York Hippodrome when it
first came over from Europe.
The special added feature for the com
ing week will be Zlska and King, bur
lesque magicians' and kings of comedy
magic; a continuous roar of laughter
from start to finish. Next on the list is
the two Farraris, European novelty
dancers'; they are graceful and finished
artists in their particular line. Miss
Florence Saunders, America's magnetic
soprano, has made a tremendous hit all
over the East. Nagle and Adams are two
very clever versatile entertainers. 1 ney
sing, dance and Introduce a burlesque
melodrama; they also introduce juggling
and acrobatic stunts in their act. Master
Smart, the phenomenal boy violinist,
comes very highly recommended and
there is no doubt but what he will come
In for his share of applause. Last, but
not least. Is Ray Baldwin, who will sing
the pictured ballads. The blograph will
roll off the great comedy picture, en
titled "Dick's Sister."
The management wishes to Impress
upon the minds of the public the fact that
there are three performances dally at the,
Pantages Theater and that the curtain
goes up at 2:30 sharp on the matinee per
formance; evening, 7:30 and o ciock.
Come at the above mentioned hours and
you can secure the best seats in the
theater. If you arrive late don't complain
because you have to stand up a few
minutes until the first show Is out at
o'clock. Today will be the last oppor
tunity to see the present bill, considered
by vaudeville critics to be one of the
greatest shows ever given in the Rose
City at popular prices. Each 'and every
act on the programme Is an Imported fea
ture, seldom seen outside the big Eastern
cities.
ANOTHER BIG BILIj AT GRAND
Many Star Acts on Programme That
Will Open Tomorrow.
Slrronje appears at the Grand this aft
ernoon and night for the last times. The
wonderful feats this young woman has
performed In freeing herself from hand
cuffs and shackles, packing cases and
trunks have been the talk of the town.
Those who have not yet seen her should
do so. Every performance she submits
to some new test and the detectives and
deputy sheriffs have been unable to hold
her with their Iron bracelets.
Tomorrow Sullivan & Consldine send an
other of those big vaudeville shows which
have been coming so thick at the Grand.
This new programme contains some of the
best material seen here in many weeks.
The headline act Is composed of five peo
ple, three of them long estamisnea favor
ites In Portland. These are Manuel Ro-
main and the Foley boys. Romaln
America's sweetest tenor and was feat
ured for years by Doctcstader and other
minstrels. The Foley boys were trained
In dancing by George Primrose, fhe cham
pion, and he starred them with himself.
They are assisted by the Palmer Sisters.
This Is an act which will suit all who en
Joy good singing and dancing.
Another big hit will be Tom GUlen.
"Flnnigan's Friend." Gillen came to Port
land a years ago and scored one of the
greatest individual hits on record. He did
this by telling only new stories. This sea
son he comes with another batch of hew
rib-ticklers.- Louise Auber Is a charming
songstress who will be heard In several
selections.
The Mozarts will be seen in -neinie.
the German Cobbler." Here Is an Ameri
can comedy act which went to London
and took the town by storm. They have
ppcpntlT returned and are said to De
even more amusing than when here be
fore. Cadleux Is a bounding wire artist
and Is one of the best In the business. He
makes a complete somersault in midair
while. on the wire. This is oniy one oi
dozens of dangerous stunts ne goes
through.
Hal Davies In "The 'au or t m
playlet which will record ten-strike to-
j . . V.I,
morrow ariernoon ana reiiu mo
throughout the week. There will b a
new Ulustrdted ballad by Fred Bauer and
F. F. Montressa will flash the latest ani
mated pictures on the Grandlscope. This
Is a bill which is good in every line.
"SHOW GIRL" AT THE OAKS
Allen Curtis Company in New Bill
Tomorrow Night.
The offering that the Allen-Curtis
Company will submit to Its multitude
of patrons at the Oaks for next week,
commencing Monday night, will be
that ever popular musical comedy
success "The Show Girl." which con
tains probably more musical hits than
any show now before the public It
has a well connected plot and abounds
in sprightly dances and chorus drills.
The story concerns a theatrical
company which strands in Australia.
The manager who Is a very fly young
man comes Into the possession of a
wishing cap. The wearer of this
wonderful cap may have his every de
sire rewarded by merely wishing, but
be can only wish for the same thing
once. The manager foolishly wishes
for 3?T5. the price of the cap, when
he might just as well have wished for
millions and put Rockefeller out of
business.
The humor of the piece is largely
derived from the freak wlshee the
manager makes and the promptness
with which they are answered.
All the members of the cast will ap
pear In good roles. Including Dave
Caston, who came last week and has
made such a hit.
The following are some of the many
song hits: "Just a Little on Account."
Makes Me Sentimental," the
duet, "Smile, Smile. Smile," "I'm the
Property Boy," "Lazy Moon." the
"Scarecrow Dance" by Dave Caston;
"I'm the Man." "Close Dat Eye." "I'm
Looking for a Boy," "Laughing Song,"
"Abraham Washington Jefferson Lee"
and "There Never Was a Girl Like
You."
Manager Allen Curtis Is looked upon
by the New York theatrical magnates
as one of the foremost producers In
the country. His is the only musical
comedy company that has a reper
toire of 20 distinct and complete pieces,
and Mr. Curtis considered a genius as
a director for his marvelous ability to
direct productions.
The Don Carlos dog, monkey and
pony show is the big free open-air
feature, giving its exhibitions every
afternoon. It will occur at S o'clock
this afternoon and tonight at 8:30 the
final performance of "The Merry
Grafters" will be given.

of the world of song adopted there two

garden, and Miss May will give a

running design of conventional herald
ic animals familiar In all ancient Irisft
sculpture. Inside the rim around the
tray Is a deep border of flat chasing
which teems to be adapted from a page
in the famous illustrations of the
Book of Kells. The teapot, coffee pot
cream jug and sugar basin show a re
markeble application of antique design
to modern uses, for the decoration
throughout is Inspired by the golden
chalice dug up about half a century
ago at Ardagh. The idea of a circu
lar bowl Is enlarged and modified in vari
ous ways for the various articles, but com
mon to all Is the feature of circular bands
of Incised ornament. These Incised bands
are divided into panels, of interlaced de
sign, recurring bosses in relief, sculptured
with overlaid crosses, and the admixture
of relief work very greatly enhances the
richness of the total effect.
The entire service Is of silver mined in
Ireland, and was designed and manufac
tured in Dublin. The case is of polished
Irish oak.
