extremely funny. Jovial Fred Warren
Is Introducing; an Impersonation of a

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

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-

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

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

Next on the list comes George Yeo

the Kastern circuits.
And last, but not least, comes Phil

and Harris claim a contract with Mr. Walter
under the terms of which the dramatist gives
the managers an option on all piays which
he might write during a term of five year.,
beginning May 1. 1UC. The firm asserts
thai "I-ald in TW' was not submitted to

Joseph Jefferson Was
More Than Actor
Painter of rrlatlnetloa. Author of
.Note and Gifted Poet, Was Creator
of Hip Vnn Winkle -His Epilogue
to "The Klvals."
TH talents of the late Joseph Jef
ferson were certainly not confined
to acting alone. 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. "The
