It was a liberal educa tion In the drama at Its beat and for tunate Indeed were those whose good Judgment directed them toward the Hellls to gee this fine actor in his splen cfld play. That the audiences were no lanrer In to the lasting discredit of Port land. When we get the bet we so pat ronize that best as to deserve only the worst.

An array of tal ent which . represents the very beet on !ie American stage will be presented us uring the early Summer months. In that sprightly comedy made Out of ie Charles Dana- Gibson cartoons and illed "The Kducatlon of Mr. Plpp." the Baker players Have appeared most cred itably, particularly In the case of Will hm Gleason. who had the name part, wice again that veteran actor, one of the vert of hia class, demonstrated his abil ity to play a perfectly delicious comedy t'Me. Commencing this afternoon at the Bungalow will be seen positively the greatest success ever attained by the Baiter Stock Company. "The Girl of the Uolden West." For three weeks earlier the season this Arrest nlsv -wllh vfia Jewel and Mr. Ayres in the leading parts, fairly packed the theater. There has been an Insistent demand on the part of the public for a repetition and the Baker management has mnet wisely decided to do it again for a week. The following week the season at the Bungalow will close . with "l"nder Two Flags." In whlcn both Izetta Jewel and Sidney Ayres will have fine opportuni ties. j At the Baker there has been a consid erable and ever-Increasing Interest In the Ferris Hurt man engagement, the last bill being 'The Mayor of Toklo." Commenc ing this afternoon "The Toymaker" will be offered and should draw well. ' The Lyric offered "Hearts of Tennes a good melodrama, with considera ble success, and will follow today with "kovV Ranch." a Western drama. At the end of this week the Lyric will be dark for the Summer. The Orpheum. Grand and Fantags had especially good hills and the promise for the week beginntng tomorrow afternoon Is for something even better. A. A. o. "THE GIRL. OF OOLUlEX WEST" Manager Baker Announces .Repeti tion of Famous Success. The greatest success any stock produc tion, or any other theatrical offering, for that matter, has ever known in Portland, waa the Baker Company's three weeks' run of the picturesque Felaaco play, "The Girl of the Golden West." which earlier this season parked the Bungalow for three weeks straight running, not a seat being vacant durrng the entire period. So insistent have many who saw It and others who failed to at that time been for Manager Baker again to produce it, that he announces another week, opentng with today's matinee, and the advance, sale Indicates packed houses for every per formance. - It .Is one of the most fascinating plays ever written, and when Blanche Bates first presented it In Xew York It ran for two entire seasons. It was only by streak of good luck for stock man agers, and patrons of popular-prtce at tractions) that It was obtainable for stock, and Its whirlwind success has been the same all , over the coon try where latere happened .to be a company capable of playing It as it should be played. In the hands of a mediocre organisation of near actors and actresses. It becomes a mere melodrama, hut players like .Man ager Baker's justly famous stock com pany make K what - David Kelasco in tended It should be. and the result la '"ry man woman and child goes fairly wild over It. Miss Jewel as "the girl" surrourded by all these men (diamonds In the rough) in the early California days. Is a revelation in artistic and emotional acting, while as the outlaw Rameres. Sydney Ayres is as dashing and picturesque as la pos sible to conceive. The Sheriff, played sy Donald Bowles. Is another bit of per fecting acting such as one rarely sees outaass St- tfca highest priced atara, while XA included a. brilliant ngarrnent of - yX i 'J i - . rw-fc i Mlna Gleason and Jamea Glesaon. in the roles of the Indians, are far out of the ordinary.

HARTMAV IX "TIIE TOYMAKER" Third and I-ast Week of Popular Star Renins Today at Baker. Ferris Hart man and his excellent com pany." who have been entertaining Urge audiences' at the Baker for the past two weeks, will conclude their Portland engagement with the present week, open ing this afternoon in the greatest of all Mr. Hartman's successes. "The Toy maker." Although this opera has been seen here many times before, it seems never to wear out its welcome, and when presented by Mr. Hartman it will be found just a little bit better than It hat ever been known to be In this city. Originally arranged and produced by him, it offers a great opportunity for the display of all the best efforts of his splendid compsny. The story of the play Is novel and bright. A nobleman would wed. but he finis no one suited to his desires, so hearing of a famous doll that la nearly human he decides to buy it. The doll has been made In the likeness of the toymaker's daughter. Ela. and the latter. In a spirit of fun. takes Its tlace and Is sold as the do'.L She does U that the doll Is supposed to do sings, dances, walks and talks. Finally she is really married, and then the se cret Is found out. But It all ends hap pily, as all Mile journeys to the sand of mike-b!leve should. Mr. Hartman has really lost count of the number of times he has appeared as the old toymaker. Jahunx Gucgen helmer. but his esnulslte rharacteriutm.. of this unique individual has added very material!)- to his r-putatlon. The attrac. lion which the play possesses both for children as well as grownups Is most wonderful and simply goes to prove, the humane of us ail. The opportunity for stage settings has been greatly taken ad vantage or. and rrom the first scene In tha old monsstery to the gorgeous toys all In motion. eery rhang la a source of delight. Free toys w.ll be given to every child attending the Saturdav mat Inee.
