mystical, comical and laughable: '"The
Kind-Hearted Holio." pathetic, and the
"Magic Scribe," illustrative of the leger-

TWO widely differing types of com
edy were presented for Portland s
delectation last week. At the
Bungalow was Marie Poro. winsome
and lovable, in "The Morals of Marcus."
and at the I.yric, Klsa Ryan, clever
and beautiful, in "The Blue Mouse."
The first is a clean, amusing play, with
plenty of Innocent fun. and the second
is inclined to verge a trifle toward the
coarse and suggestive throughout.
At the vaudeville houses good bills
were given, and Portland was in
terested especially in the sketch writ
ten by Louise Kent, of the Baker Stock
c.mnanv. in which she and another
ur, in whom Portland takes
terest. Donah Brnrlmo (Mrs. Walter
Rcert'i, appear.

Dos.lv or otiierwLse, misinterpreted by a

far doubt. The moral strength and ob
j.Lt lessons are obvious to all.
The play bt rHis with a prologue, show
Ins the home of the Queen at Sarddlia.
and introduces the character of her
drunken and vicious husband, thus sup
plying a plausible motive for all that fol
lowed in litr life. The sad story of this
Queen is of particular interest to women,
who have comprehended and understood
hr better than men. They have wept
:th sorrow at her misfortune and sym
pathized with her in her creat love. This
Queen had a glorious motive for her sin
which cannot be attributed to Marguerite.
Sappho. Zaxa, Camille or Lady Isabel.
And to almost all readers her character
Is superior in every respect, and it may
be truly .aid of her that "there is no Joy
but bitter tears will come to cast It like
a fallen angel forth."
Ti.e detail of the book which was so
frank in utteram-e and created so much
entieism is practically retained in the
drnmatiz ition. As far as moral tone is
concerned, it is far superior to 'Sappho"
and "Zaza." or even "Camille" and "fciast
1 nne." It suggests a vast number of
thuuehts that appeal most stromgly to
women, and should be heeded by men.
Lessons can be drawn from the story
which, if applied to action, would make
much more happ'tiess In) the world.
It ill be presented by a . special cast
haded by Beryl Hope, one of the lest
ei notional actresses on the American
stce. Other players of note are Harry

Ml'SlCAL COMKDY
RETURNS
Imperial Company Hack at Lyric
Today to Finih Summer Season.
Ld Harrington's Imperial Musical Corn
fry Company returns to the Lyric today
to finish the Summer season in th latest
and bright tt musical cornety offerings.
T'; bill for this we k w ill be -The Pa
gruia." a dainty and delightful mixture of
nvrih and meIoJy wh eh recently had its
premiere in New York and made gd to
an astonishing degree. There are nn
nrous prtt Japanese chorus effects
and an abundance of song hits which are
af soluteiy new.
S;-c;al scenery and costumes have been
arranged for the production. The beauty
uo:lers will N more numerous: all the
old favorite will be seen In congenial
ndes and there will he new faces in th

"The I'agoda" is one of the prettiest
operas written In recent years.
Tin.ro w";li be matinees today, Tuesday,
Beginning with the usual matinee to
morrow and continuing throughout the
week, the Orpheum will offer a wonderful
bill of great variety and merit. Sam Chip
and Mary Marble will "be headllners. this
being their first appearance here in
vaudevillle. These two well-known mu
sical comedy stars have a delightful of
fering, entitled "In Old Edam," which is
designated as "A Deft iJialogue With Dit
ties," which was especiallly written for
the exp'.oitajion of the talents of these
two clever young people, by Anna Mar
ble (Mrs. Channing Pollock). As its
name suggests, a litttle Dutch skit which
tells a very clever story, in which Miss
Marble and Mr. Chip appear as two
Dutch kiddies. Sonss. dances and dia
logue, which are all clever in the extreme,
go far towards making this one of the
most attractive of the recent vaudeville
novelties. Miss Marble and Mr. Chip
will be remembered as having made
such a tremendous hit in "Dream
City." which was a production of last
year.
Matthews and Ashley, two of the
most popular comedians of the pres
ent day. have an entirely new offering
by Aaron Hoffman. entitled. "Held
I'p." There are special scenic effects
re presen t i n g the new Ka s t River
bridge. Brooklyn bridge, and in the dis
tance can be seen the Statue of Liberty.
There is no question but that Frank
J. Conroy. George LeMaire & Co. are
presenting one of the most successful
,iurhinir cts in vaudeville, entiueu.
"A King for a Night." The story un
derlying thjs clever sketch is of an
American confidence man and his
friend, a burnt cork artist, also a beau
tiful and wealthy French heiress, who
is planning to entertain a real king
at her mansion.
A sextette of stylish steppers, six
American dancers, offer great promise
of something decidedly new and varied.
The act consists of four beautiful num
hers as the American VIvandiers. by
Mrs. Loverberg Ramsey; the next The
Dancine Odonises. by the Misses Pur-
eclla and Orben ; and the Pierrot, by
Charles Connor. The girls of the com
pany possess both yoirth and beauty,
which is another pleasing feature of
this art.
Stepp. Mehlinger and King are a
clever trio of entertainers providing an
exquisite programme of music and com
edy. Stepp is considered the world's
foremost ragtime ban joist : Mch linger
fs a finished character artist: and King
ts a marvel at the piano. The combi
nation is uniuue and an abundance of
amusement is anticipate
Oltve Helene Greatrex is a whistler
who has been compared with Miss Alice
Shaw, and her imitations of birds, etc.,
are remarkable. Charles Marvelle is
a contortionist and equilibrist of
ternational fame, whose act Is always
sure to please.
LIKE AMOXG THE " CADETS

at West Point Do.
For new week at Pantasres the fea
ture act will be Phyllis Lee and her
cadets in "Commencement Day" a
miniature West Point on the stage a
one-act musical comedy featuring Miss

equilibris'H. tle lady in the act doing
all the feats of strength and endurance.
Two ban joists of rare a hi iity are
Kimball and Donovan. They are
America's premier banjoists, who never
fail to make a hit.
The four fantastic I.a Delles, Eu
ropean my st ifiers. appear in the pret
tiest and cleverest vaudevllie novelty,
introducing the marvelous twin-cage il
lusion and their marvelously trained
liantam roasters. "Sam" and "iIck."
I-awrence A Edwards will present
"The New Alderman." a political skit,
the characters being a newly elected
Alderman whose memory is faulty re
garding the 'assistance given him by
his friends In winning th. election, and
an old Irish gent, who - with his son
"Danny" has been instrumental in elec
ting the Alderman. "Danny" has been
sent to prison for four years for being
caucht stuffing ballot boxes and other
EnmalAr offenses.
Last, but not least, comes "our ol.d
time friend Jack Symonds, "The Man
of Ease." who never fails to make good.
Leo White will sing another one of
those dear old songs that mother used
to sing, and the biograph will present
the latest in the moving picture world.

among other specialties, a powerful little
playlet "A Christmas on the Comstock."
This feature act will be presented by
Manda Glendower. a Portland girl, and
Ravmcnd Manion. The sketch was writ

clever lines and touches of delicate
pathos. Mr. Manion assumes the roleof
a square gambler and Miss Glendower
that of a miners daughter who detesis
gambling and believes that her father
does also. The character assumed by
Miss Glendower is quaint in maiy par
ticulars. This will be her first appear
ance in her home city since she took up
her professional career. 1
Alice Lorette and her $10,000 dog Ben,
will be on the bill. The performer, as-
.,U;ed "by the' dog, poss and reproduces
classic pictures and statuary. This is th
or.iy time that a dog has ever been
driiUd to assume a part In a living pic
tun) and Ben understands his business
so well that when he Ls acting he never
turna a hair. Ben ill even res-pond
to .applause with his mistress.
The five Juggling Jo rd a its have what is
considHred the best, massed juggling act
in this country or Europe. The live mem
bers of the family keep the air rilled
with various articles and as t-ach one Ip
an expert the effect is interesting. A
baton spinners they have no equal ancl
their stage appearance is good.
Jere San ford Is a yodler and mimic.
McDevitt and Kelly are eccentric danc
ers who have a style peculiarly their
own. There will be a new illustrated
