HILL OF MIUTH AND MUSIC
New Week's Bill at Pantage to Be
Kind That IMeases.
Mirth and music will reiga supreme
at the Pantages theater this week, be
ginning with the usual matinee tomor
row afternoon. The management begs
to state that the new bill at the Pan
tages will be one of the best this thea
ter has ever offered. To begin with,
the musical feature will be one decid
edlv out of the ordinary and above the
usual vaudeville attraction and menu
It ts the Zlngarl troupe of eight people,
presenting the spectacular scenic op
eratic production "Uypay Life. This
act which has won much praise over
the circuit. Is ofle of the greatest oper
atic acts in vaudeville. They present
selections and choruses from such well
known operas as "Carmen," Rigoletto,"
"Faust." Lucia." "Romeo and Juliet."
Their stage setting represents a Gypsy
Camp and the costuming is both ap
propriate and beautiful. The eight
singers all have well-trained and pow
erful voices and the chorus work is
said to be especially well done. They
also have some catchy and delightful
Italian selections in their repertoire.
Tanner & Gilbert are scheduled to
convulse the audience with their farce
comedy. "How to Make Love." Sir.
Tanner ts exceptionally clever as a
silly kid comedian, while his partner
sings. some of the latest popular songs
in an excellent manner.
Little Al Right, the Japanese wonder,
will be seen in Portland for the first
time. He Is just returning from an
extended European engagement: as an
equilibrist he has no equal. His act
must be seen to be appreciated.
Musical Heuhn, who presents a musi
cal act using various instruments,
gives a splendid entertainment with a
vein of comedy all the way through.
Thomas & Payne, two colored aris
tocrats, singers. dancers and come
dians. They have got an exceedingly
bright comedy act which runs fast and
furious from start to finish. They also
Introduce the very latest In rag-time
melodies.
Elliott Beamer will render a new Illus
trated baritone solo, and the biograph
will present the very latest In motion
photography.
Today wil be your last chance to see
the present bill, considered by press
and public to be one of the best nov
elty entertainments presented for some
time. Remember It is your last chance
to see Atra, the bullet-proof woman.
"The Honej mooners" Coming.
There will be something out of the or
dinary at the Baker Theater for the week
following the minstrels, for one of the
famous George M. Cohan's musical com
edies. "The Honejrmooners. will oe me
attraction. Cohan wrote "ine noney
mooners" some time ago, and called It
another name, but after It had been so
enthusiastically received by the theater
going people he reconstructed the piece

acting, the excellence of her singing, and
the mlrth-provoklng characteristics which

The Oath of Allegiance," by James B.
r-n-n i f R..rnnton Pa., and Jack Dru-
melr. of New York City, which will be
produced during the present season. Is a
politico-historic comedy-drama dealing with
the treachery and Intrigue during the per
iod of 18o-18i&. So pronounced are the
lines of this piece said to be that It 11
thought It will create a sensation. The
authors are well known and have en
trenched themselves In "The Oath of Al
legiance" behind historical data that Is
claimed to be unassailable.

Joseph O'Mara. who Is declared by the
press of Great Britain and Ireland to be the
greatest Irish tenor of this generation, sails
for New York October 1. to begin his
American tour In "Peggy Machree" under
the direction of Messrs. Brooks and Ding
wall. O'Mara has long been a favorite In
Loudon, where he has appeared annually
for ten years In concert and grand opera,
and be Is Idolized In Ireland for what he
has done in arousing interest In the folk
songs of his native land. In Dublin a few
riavs ago he was the guest of honor at a
farewell dinner, given by the. Lord Mayor
of the cltv. The loading men of Dublin
were present and o Mara s singing oi ire
land's patriotic songs stirred the dlstln

Is expected that Norway will lay claim
to the possession of Spitzbergen by vir
tue of the prior rights of Norwegian fish
ermen an huntsmen, but in this case it
is expected that Sweden will raise a
colunter-claim on the ground that Swe
dish scientific expeditions have been
mainly Instrumental in opening Spltx
bergen to the outside world.
Since the days of the British Arctic ex
plorer, Peary, Spitzbergen has been
mainly explored by Swedish expeditions,
but recently a British expedition visited
the island and collected a number of min
eral specimens which reveal opportunities
for further mining enterprise. The Spits
bergen question was raised in 1871 when
Sweden and Norway desired to annex the
island, but Russia's opposition prevented
the realization of the Scandinavian pro
posal. It appears that Germany will op
pose the claim of any single country to
Spltxbergen and will favor the establish
ment of some kind of international con
trol whereby the absolute freedom of in
dustrial enterprise and scientific research
will be guaranteed. .
