The Eastern critics pro nounced this attraction oneTjf the sea son's best the very essence of musical comedy, extravag-anie, vaudeville, etc.. and stated it was fully equal to any of the past Broadway successes, "The Wizard of Ox," "'Babes in Toyland." and later "The Top o" the World. Practically the same big- cast that was seen last season, including the Elmore sisters and Charles A- Sellon, and a big bes,uty chorus. The Droductlon is new ana very elaborate. The bis; song hits, which are so whistly and airy, are "Lota from South Dakota," "Rosy Drums," "Modesty Restrains Me From Adding; More," "The Date Tree," "The Mermaids," '1 Wish I Were a Bailor," "Won't Tou Take a Ride With Me," and some 20 others. BELASCO PLAY AT BUNGALOW "Girl of the Golden West" Highest Royalty Play In Stock. The price Manager George I Baker was obliged to pay David Belasco for the privilege of first, offering that master producer's great Western drama, "The Girl of the Golden West," In this city would buy a comfortable home for some family. Negotiations began last April for both this play and Belasoo's "Rose of the Rancho," and were only closed in August. 'The Girl of the Golden West" will follow "A Gilded Fool" at the Bun galow. It Is the greatest of all West ern successes and Blanche Bates played It In New York to a record business for months and months. The Baker stock production will be a revelation and a surprise, exceeding; all previous triumphs of Portland's popular stock company. The sale -of seats for "The Girl of the Golden West" will open to morrow morning at 10 o'clock, and seats for the entire week will go on sale at that time. 6TROXG BILL FOR ORPHTXM Many Good Features on This Week's Programme. The bill at the Orpheum the past week was an excellent one and the house was packed nightly, the screams of laughter and outbursts of enthusiasm from the au diences were the best encouragement In the world to the performers behind the footlights. The coming week's bill Is va ried and unique, and will doubtless satisfy the most fastidious critic The headllner is Jesse I Lasky's "Mili tary Octet" and "The Girl With the Baton." a musical production, and lrf one of the costliest and most pretentious novelties In vaudeville. Beside a mechani cal staff of five. It requires the services of 11 trained musicians, and their tuneful numbers are beautifully Introduced In ap propriate settings and atmospheric scenes. In this production, as the title Implies, the scenes show army life, and three pic turesque .locales have been selected, one In Russia, one in India and one at home, until the offering really takes on the Im portance of a scenic spectacle. "The Four Rlanos" Is a name familiar to all Orpheum patrons as this agile quar tet are the most original, screamingly funny acrobatic sketch that has ever been seen in vaudeville. The name. It will be remembered. Is "In Africa" and Its action takes place in the interior of a tropical hotel In that locale. Its fun Is limitless. Two of the four Impersonate apes: the third Is professor interested In the Dar winian theory, and the fourth la an ec centric female sere van t- Julia Klngsley and her company offer in the sparkling comedy "Supper for Two." This little sketch deals with a so ciety lady and a young man who Is very much Infatuated with her but la very timid. The Jupiter Bros., cowboy Illusionists, do things that would mystify the Fays. They mystify and surprise you, and the performance is given a unique touch by the appearance of the brothers in the dress of the plains for they are Oklahoma cowboys. Mr. and Mrs. George A. Beane are pre senting "A Woman's Way." Mr. Beane will be remembered by many for his play ing In Hoyt's comedies a dozen years ago, and the reputation he then made. Miss Mabel Sinclair Is considered Eng land's foremost lady ventriloquist and she comes to the Orpheum circuit from the London Pavilion where she was ex ceedingly popular. The Three Dancing Mitchells, are colored entertainers, who have long been Identi fied with Black Pattl, Ernest Hogan and the Williams and Walker shows, and for ' characteristic dancing of their race they ' have few equals.
