Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, OCTOBER 25 1908 m , - I III 0 T 1 I - - I I I 1 - I rd. minstrel and musical comedy stars, present an act that is melodious and extremely funny. Jovial Fred Warren Is Introducing; an Impersonation of a colored soubrette. that la the funniest thing he has ever done. He Is an old minstrel favorite.' Miss Ethel MacDonough. -who has been known as "The Ulrl Behind the Drum." Is undoubtedly America's preatest drummer BlrL She was the original In the position with the famous "Boston Fadettes." and now she is appearing alone with a musical offering that Is most attractive. one Eastern writer expressed it cleverly when he said "The Girl Behind the Urum'wlll 'beat her way around the world." The usual Orpheum motion pictures will be shown, and the Orpheum or chestra furnishes the music MIXD READER AT THE GRAND Other Big Features Besides D'Amon on Programme for Week. From the feature to the motion pic tures the Grand this week will . have a profrramme of the very best vaudeville. At the top of the bill is the great white mystery. D'Amon. a mlndreader second to none. Ask D'Amon anything you want to know and he will give a satisfactory answer. While he does not pretend to possess supernatural power, he has the gift of mlndreadlng to a high degree. Those who have lost anything and wish to know the whereabouts of the article should ask, D'Amon and he will be able to give the desired information. This has been demonstrated repeatedly In other cities. D'Amon will be one of the strong est cards sent to the coast in vaudeville this year. The second big feature will be the three Zaras and Carmen, the greatest baton 'Jugglers and hoop experts in the country. There is no other act of the kind In the same class with these four wizards of baton and hoop. "A 6 o'clock Tea" is the Juggling novelty of the Haverlocks. The Have locks are dressed as waiters and they JugRle all the tableware and the fur niture, doing seemingly impossible feats with silk hats and other articles. The Juggling of a table and two chairs Is the sensational finish of this oddity. High class character vocalists are the Ies Durant Trio, who come to Portland for the first time on the Sullivan & Con sldine circuit. They appear first as travelers, then change to evening dress nnii appear finally in toreador costume. The three men have been recruited to the vaudeville stage from grand opera, having been on the stage in Paris for several years. AH of their selections are of the better order and they possess voices which are unuaually good for vaudeville. "The Music Teacher" Is the title of the sketch played by Jolly and Wild. This Is a musical comedy act during which selections are given from the latest musi cal successes of New York. The woman has a remarkably fine contralto. Fred Jiauer will sing a new illustrated song and the grandlscope will flash Imported films. , Today will be the last performances of the present big bill, headed by the mar velous electric man. Knlgmarelle. which has had the town mystified. EVA FAY AT THE PANTAGES CFfcraoos Mlndreader Feature of Big Programme Opening Tomorrow. If there Is anything you want to know dont ask a policeman; ko to the Vantages theater and ask Mrs. i-va yay. in the new bill which the man agement presents to Pantages patrons tomorrow afternoon, Mrs. Fay and her thaomaturgy work will stand out abova the rest of the excellent, enter taining numbers on the new pro - gramme. The manner In which this gifted woman answers questions, that In some Instances are written down, will create a sensation. It certainly carries conviction to the average mind that after all there Is something In mental telepathy, thought transference or whatever you like to call it. When .one s name Is called and a query that &as simply been written out and not shown to anyone, has never left the .writer's possession, is repeated word :for word and the answer given with iacarcely a moment's hesitation. Some of the answers concern the future and of course cannot be verified, but a large proportion given Mrs. Fay are in the nature of test questions and in every case she answers them correctly, which Is acknowledged by the questioners: Mrs. Fay also presents a line of cabinet feats somewhat along the usual line of spiritualists that are decldely clever and completely mystifying. Owing to the strain of the mlnd- FORMER CHAMPIOS OK THE J WORLD, NOW CLEVER ACTOR. f r 4 fj 1 A : I .l y . Jj it r - It - V N U jamrs J. Corbett. Who Will Ap pear at Week at Bikrr Theater. James J.

Corbett Is said to have developed Into a really clever actor. reading work. Mrs. Fay does this part of her work at only two performances dally: the matinees and the first even ing performance. Her cabinet tests, however, are nearly as Interesting as the mind-reading work. Mrs. Fay Is the wonderful daughter of a wonderful mother. Anna Eva Fay. Comedy prevails in the remainder of the programme. The L Monts have a banjo and sinking turn that Is (aid to be artistic and finished. The two Sailings, comedy hat man ipulators from the old world, have an act that Is a laugh from start to finish. Harvey and Lea are said to be the best Hebrew comedians who have ever worked this circuit. Their dialogue Is rood and their parodies create a riot fit every performance. Next on the list comes George Yeo man, the great German comedian, who 1 as recently made a big hit all over the Kastern circuits. And last, but not least, comes Phil Jj Toska. the comedy Juggler. Dear .ld Phil comes to us fresh from the Orpheum circuit. He Is always there witii the goods.

An Englishman and his eister. re siding in Bonn, were lately sentenced to pay a heavy fine for "Insulting the au thorities." The pair were walking In the town, when the brother stepped on to some forbidden part of a public garden. A policeman came up. and with him the guardian of the garden. The latter called the linKllshman's attention to the culpa bility of his conduct and was roundly abused for his pains. Besides this, the Englishman refused to give bis name or follow the policeman to the police sta tion The sister, meanwhile, allowed hers-lf some sarcastic remarks concern ing Prussian officialdom in general, and It waa only through the mediation of a etranger that the altercation came to an end. The Crown Prosecutor character Ixed the conduct of the Englishman in sharp trms. and laid it down that the police must be protected from such "brutalities." -V - t - 1 . s ' ' Gogorza Baritone THURSDAY EVENING ' OCT. 29 HEILIG THEATER Direction LOIS STEERS-WYNN COMAS.

He was a painter of distinction. Many of hl canvases now grace the walls of our foremost art galleries. Nearly all of the theatrical and Bohemian clubs throughout the country proudly boast . of possessing one of Joseph- Jefferson's paintings. He was also an author of consider able note. His most pretentious lit erary offering Is his own autobiog raphy. The entire book Is redundant with witticisms and fascinating rem iniscences. He wrote countless arti cles for the magazines. All of his writings give indications that, had ha followed literature ha wonld have been as distinguished an author as he was an actor. The original manuscript of "The Rivals" was entirely too long for mod ern production. Mr. Jefferson recon structed the play. The snappy and brilliant manuscript as now used by his sons, Joseph and William W. Jef ferson, for their performances of this play. Is tjie finished product of the elder Jefferson. The abrupt ending of the play in its original form prompted Mr. Jefferson to write an epilogue. His master hand at literary construc tion Is apparent In every line.
