ItOSB E1TIM.E, FROM HER LATEST PHOTOGRAPH.
- FT ARTHUR A. GREENE.
THOSB fortunate ones vt us who
know Row Eytlnge. and have been
privileged to learn the rare quality
ff hr mind and the surpassing fcoodness
of her heart, are looking forward with
irreat satisfaction to the testimonial mat
inee that Is to be gl-en In her honor on
Thursday. One of the most admirable
qualities possessed by the actor folk Is
their splendid sympathy one for the
other. No member of the profession pos
veaws this to a greater degree than our
'Ljidy Rose" During her long career
rhe has practically given away more than
one considerable fortune and It la not on
record that she ever failed to respond
graciously to any call made upon her.
She haa lent her talents to unnumbered
benefits and the sum total of her many
kindnesses- would fill av large book - of
good deeds.
Now that she has reached the three-eeore-ten
milestone it "occurs to many of
us that a public testimonial of affection
and esteem Is something beautifully ap
propriate. Mrs. Mlna Croliua Gleason
suKgested the Idea and has taken the
Initatlve In the preliminary arrange
ments. Every actor and manager in town
has responded to the sURgestlon and un
less all signs fall next Thursday's mat
inee Is likely to be a little the best affair
of the kind Portland has ever seen.
The staA direction will be In charge, of
William Dills and the following pro
gramme has been arranged by the pro
moters: Miss Seymour and chorus will
put on Miss Genevieve Thompson's new
song "Swastika Sue" In Indian costumes
using-special stage settings; Miss Elsie
Garrett will- sing a number of new songs
and Mrs. Mlna Gleason will give a mono
logue. The Baker Theater will contribute
one act of "Little Johnnie Jones." and
Marguerite Egbert will appear in a char
acter recitation.-'
One number of xceptional interest will
be the first performance of Will M.
Cressy's newest vaudeville- sketch, "Mrs.
Goddard of Ypsilanti." by William Lv and
James Gleason. and L.ucile Webster.
tTessy, who recently ' appeared at the
Orpheum here, is the foremost sketch
writer 'in the country and great things
are -expected of his latest work.
Special acts will be contributed by the
Orpheum. Grand and Pantages: Louise
Kent, Mabel clover. John Nunn and
Carl Denton will present a scene from
"Magda" and Charles Couture, late prin
cipal tenor with the Princess Opera Com
pany of San Francisco, will sing selec
tions from "II Paglaccl."
Such an array of talent la seldom seen
on a single programme and amusement
lovers cannot fail but be delighted with it.
Already there, has been a heavy sale of
seats and It -seems that Portland will
properly honor the occasion.

which pleases young and old. so give the
children a chance to see It.
Those versatile vaudevilllans. the five
Musical McLarens, bring one of the big
gest musical acts to the Grand that has
ever been Been In the house. The reports
on this act are all highly favorable and
the McLarens will be the special added
feature on this new programme.
A few weeks ago the Romanoffs were
announced, but they made such a hit In
the North, that they were retained. They
come this week with their thrilling and
daring knife and battle ax throwing spe
cialty. The man disrobes the woman
by hurling daggers at her. This Is an
exhibition of human nerve and it Is an
act which will be found far from tame or
uninteresting.
Grace Passmore is a singer of coon
songs. She has the right kind of a voice
for these songs and her selections will be
new to Portland audiences. Another
ulngle. worker Is Sfam Hood, monologist,
parodist singer and yarn-spinner. . He Is
paid a salary to make people laugh, and
lie succeeds without any effort. Dick and
ltarncy Ferguson will present the bur
lesque act which has made millions
smile. "The Dimple Sisters." There will
tw a new illustrated song and motion pic
tures. Today ends the present big bill at the
Grand, with the Four English Rockers,
in their lively singing and dancing
novelty. DeVoy and the Dayton sisters
are good entertainers and the American
Trumpeters have a pleasing musical spe
cialty. There Is not an Indifferent act on
the programme and there are over a
dozen girls participating.
"A MOXTAXA GIRIi" TODAY
Blunkall Stock Company In Great
Western Play at Lyric.
Commencing with a matinee today the
popular Blunkall Stock Company which
has more admirers than any other per
manent dramatic organization that has
ever appeared here, will offer for the
approval of Lyric patrons that splendid
Western comedy drama "A Montana
Girl."
This Is the latest achievement m the
matter of cowboy plays and has never
before been presented on the PacinC
Coast. It has been very favorably re
ceived In the East and many favorable
reports have come from New York and
elsewhere concerning it. It is said to
combine the best points of both "The
Virginian" and "The Squaw Man." Many
of the critics declare It to equal either
of tliose great dramas.
The B.uMka',1 plavers will be particular
ly happy in this b.Il for it affords prac
tically every member of the cat an
equal opportunity with the other. Ervin
Klunkall will give us another of his very
reaiuc -portrayals of the brave, rollick
ing cowboy, a line of work in which he
exoe'.s-
.Manager Flood has taken a personal
interest In the staging of "A Montana
Girl." and declares that he expects every
body to s!t up and tak notice when the
curtain goes up on the opening per
formance. The settings are certainly not
only beautiful, but true t- life. This is
Koirg to be a mighty ttterestlng week
at t ie Kvric and you mast got in line
for the b:g show.
VKATIKE ACT FKOX EUROPE
.Mile. Frcgolia Is Headlinrr on Bill
That Opens at Pan ages.
The Pantases Theater 1s oeo-ming noted
for the ciay vaudeville wich It has
been offering Its patrons all aeason. and
If rrDorts from other cities are to Hj
WLced. it will lose none of as enviable
reputation with the bill which will be of
fered for the week beginning with the
usual matinee Monday.
The headline attraction will be one of
the latest European sensations. Mile. Fre
golla, who hails from the Folies Bergeres
of Paris, will come to the Pantages with
her lightning change of costume and
character with which she has won no
small degree of fame. - Mile. Fregolta Is
well-known abroad and Is creating a
sensation over the circuit. She introduces
two sketches. In the first there are nine
characters, and so quickly does she. as
sume the different parts that one Is al
most convinced that she has a counter
part or confederate who appears with
her. Mile. Fregolta offers J1000 as a for
feit if any one can prove that anyone
else except herself appears on the stage
during her performance. This interesting
young woman makes 4o changes of cos
tume in 13 minutes. She is a whirlwind
and never fails to carry her audience by
storm. '
As a special added attraction the man
agement presents Austin Brothers, who
will bid for popular favor with their great
laugh-producing burlesque, "Two Ameri
can Beauties."
Lillian Wright and the Gordon Boys,
will offer a dancing sketch. The boys are
known over the circuit as the dancing
wonders.
De Renro & La Due present a revolv
ing pole act which is expected to be one
of the big hits of the bill.
McDonald & Campbell will offer their
character sketrh which, includes singing
and dancing. The finest part- is an In
dian scene, the second la an Irish spe
cialty, and the third part is Scotch.
Jean Wilson will sing a new Illustrated
song, entitled "I Miss Yon in a -Thousand
Different Ways," and the blograph will
present a double series of the very latest
animated pictures.
Today will be your last chance to'eee
the present great bill of American and
European novelties, headed by -Ferra,
"The Iron Man." Positively one of the
greatest laugh producing shows ' in the
city.
Festival Chorus to Organise.

AX FIOMAX, the Portland favorite
I I who will shortly appear here In his
new comedy success "The Substitute Is
a champion of women and perhaps by
some occult means women realize It. for
he Is a favorite with .them. When an
Eastern college professor came out with
tha statement recently that woman's
sphere of usefulness to the world at large
was decidedly limited and would never
compare with man's achievement, Mr. Fig
man waxed indignant and expressed him
self in no uncertain terms to a coterie of
friends and newspapermen. He said:
"That professor must either be a
bigoted . idiot or a man disappointed In
love and hence soured on all womankind.
Not only have women achieved some of
the most remarkable things In the world's
history themselves but It is almost a posi
tive-certainty that every accomplishment
or mankind has been inspired directly or
indirectly by women. They have left the
impression of their influence and power
on the world's history and woman has
been the main cause of changing the
world's geographical lines. .
As the ages grow, the direct works of
woman are more manifest than ever. Tn
every walk of life they are commencing
to crowd, man and are making themselves
feared by men In all the professions. In
medicine and surgery which they have
only lately taken up. they are forging
ahead. They rank high in our educa
tional institutions, and In painting, sculp
ture, literature and music they have
already asserted their genius. The idea
that woman's powers and possibilities are
limited to tbe kitchen and the- sewing
room is fast becoming obsolete.
'Some of the most attractive features
of tlte stage today are vested in our
female stars and some of our most suc
cessful plays have been written by wo
men and adapted from novels written by
women. lVIy new play, "The Substitute,"
La the product of Beulah M. Dix and
Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland, very bright
women who have already made an im
pression on the dramatic literature of this
country and compelled the great metrop-
ol Is, ise w York, to sit up and take
notice. Their quaint comedy "The Road
to Yesterday" Is one of the brightest and
most unique stories that has ever been
presented in New York. I consider The
Substitute" equally as good. It relates a
story that is thoroughly plausible but
wholly unconventional in conception and
treatment. Their construction is admirable
and their realization of dramatic values
absolutely correct. In my long experi
ence on the stage I have never produced
play that I had so little change to make
In It to have it practicable for acting."

Germany are very much worried be
cause the torpedo-boat destroyers
which are to be built under the navy
estimates for the current year are to
be about eighty tons smaller and six
knots slower than the German vessels
now under construction. t
For the last three, years the admir
alty has been building destroyers of a
large displacement from 800 to 900
tons and with a uniform speed of 33
knots. In addition to one "special
type" vessel, the Swift, which Is of
1800 tons and 36 knots. In he three
years. 1905-6-7, however, only 13 des
troyers were provided for, against 30
In the German programmes, and a de
mand arose for an Increase in .the
British programme.
The estimates for the current year
contain a provision for the laying down
of 16 destroyers. Orders for 14 of
these have been placed and it Is now
stated that they are to be vessels of
650 tons, with a trial speed of 27 knots.
The German destroyers building under
the present year's programme are of
730 tons and 33 knots.
Further, the German vessels were
all laid down in May and June last, but
the British destroyers will not have
their keel plates laid until next month
so that the German ships will have a
start of five -or six months.
It is not known what the Admtral-
1 ty's intentions are with regard to the
two vessels remaining to complete the
