"Kntreat me not to leave thee. Whither
thou goest I wilt go."
Thev are the Immortal words of Ruth
put Into the mouth of dear little Polly,
t"he circus rider, lisped at first in uncer
tain wonder, as being something pew ajid
tranr and different from the tan bark
J.-irgon that was the speech of her peo
ple, but later i breathed In an agony of
spirit as a plea against separation from
the man she loved. Like a retrain tney
run thriuph the pretfy story of Polly's
romance, alternating with echoes of the
barker's" cry: "The greatest show on
earth." and between these two utterances,
so opposed to one another, there Is found
the conflict of a charming play. The
piece in question is '"Polly of the Circus."
The play make a profound emotional
appejU. As a dramatic work It is a thing
of much substance; Its tory la simple
and Its plot along novel lines. It Is pro
foundly touching and without over
wrought emotional stress lays a- certain
hold upon the heart. First of all. it has
the .left touch of feminine authorship,
coming from the. pen. of Miss Margaret
Mayo, and with womanly sympathy It
o-s not wacdor from sentiment Into sen
timentality. Then, anil this is the prin
cipal factor. Its leading role Is In the
bm1s of a flowerlike actress, accom
plished far beyond her years, whose per
sonality is fragrant with the allure of
delicate girlhood and whose technique is
so developed that she can strike a chord
of emotion with exactly fne right touch
light, vagrant, yet certain, evoking over
tones that carry slncerlfy of feeling with
subtle and wooing effect.
The Tnompso-iesque finale Is highly ef
fective from- the pictorial point of view.
though the episode nature of the two
la-t tableaux let the dramatic -action
lak away between them, and a few
mtre touches of dialogue or pantomlno
are apparently necessary to . round out
the story. "Be that as it ' may. the gen
eral impression Is delightful. The clowns
are 'bouncing about, the tumblers are
tumbling, and the substitute equestri
enne is performing genuine circus tricks
on tile back of a. revolving steed, when
Polly. frantic. distressed. distracted,
bursts Into the arena, bent upon sacri
ficing her love, and also professionally
determlned to ' prove that she can rido
as well as in the days of her tan bark
glory. But she only faints in a heap
and breaks up the show.
Then conies the last picture: the village
by moonlight, with the little church
steeple towering above 'the houses, and.
winding their way over the distant Mils,
the departing lanferns of the circus cara
van. And there stands Polly, remaining
behind with the man of her fluttertnf
little heart, and upon the words of Ruth
agin. the play closes.

third scene is styled the poster girls and

great American art of bill-posting, with
the exceptions that the figures are living

perfect harmony with the character.

The act they present is composed of acro
batic feats, equilibrism and contortion
work. The three girls are acclaimed by
reviewers as marvels; and the act is said
to be far better than anything else dis
played in this line.
An act which Is also featured Is that of
J. K. Emmett appearing In "Artie's
Dream." ' Mr. Emmett is a wll-known
comedian, the son of the famous original
"Fritz" Emmett, who Introduced and pop
ularized yodeling. The younger Emmett
visited Portland last season and made a
positive hit. This time he comes In a new
act, one filled with comedy and contain
ing a story. He Is assisted by. Miss Viola

number of prominent stock organizations.
Good magical acts are always wanted,
and there will be one on the new bill,
which comes highly recommended. This

best. He will be a strong addition to a

comical situations, lines and "business."

trated song, and the Grandlscope will
flash a new Imported motion-picture film.

last of the present bill, which is headed
by "Come Back to Erin," a song playlet,

AERONAUT ADDIS AT THE OAKS
Balloon Ascensions to Be Given
This Afternoon and Tonight.
No more thrilling exhibition can be of
fered than the balloon ascension and
parachute drop by Professor Bert Addis,
to be features of the Oaks programme
this afternoon at 3:30 and repeated at 9
in the evening. From a dizzy height dur
ing the night performance Professor
Addis will explode fireworks, producing
a weird, though beautiful effect, certain
to be received with acclaim from the hun
dreds of visitors that will be attracted
to the Oaks during the afternoon- and
evening.
The bandstand has been established in
its new location directly north of Its
former one, and every comfort has been
provided for those who attend the con
certs given by Donatelll and his magnifi
cent company of talented musicians. Miss
Bessie Bulpin, the favorite soprano, .ac
Gossip and
RIENDS of that fine actor and splen
did gentleman,- William Gleason,
will be pained to hear that he is in
an Oakland sanatorium in a rather pre
carious condition from stomach trouble.
Mr. and Mrs. Gleason left here last week
for Oakland, where Mrs. Gleason is now

ing man. The thousands of friends and
admirers of Mr. and Mrs. Gleason will

stock company had been abandoned and
that George L. Baker would retire en
tirely from stock company activities un
til his new theater is completed, which
will probably be in February next. He
has no announcement to mdite as to his
future plana-lurther than this.

The New York Sun says that Walter
Hoff Seely, a San Francisco capitalist,
"Is to be associated with William Mor
ris in his Western vaudeville ventures."
The article also contains the interesting
information that Mr. Seely has a mo
nopoly on the billboard advertising of
the Paeifi Coast. - Since most certainly
Mr. Seely does not have, monopoly of
the billboard advertising in Portland and
as no one knows, Mr. Seely as a capi
talist, the esteemed Sun must have been
victimized by misinformation.
S. Morton Cohn last week purchased
the Edison Display Company, owned
by Sullivan A Consldine, and the only
competition Mr. Cohn has previously
had in the motion picture field in this
territory. This gives Mr. Cohn' a
monopoly of the business In four states
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana. The consideration was not made
public, but is understood to be very
large. '

WOVDERFUL HORSE AT STAR
Motion Picture Theater Has Big
Feature This Week.
For the change beginning at the
matinee today, the Star management is
enabled to present the most expensive
animal act ever exhibited In a motion
picture theater in this or any other
country, and it is only due to the fact
that Dr. Fred Ellis, the owner of Don
Fulano, the wonderful horse. Is a per
sonal friend of the manager, that it
was possible at any price to secure
this great attraction. Don Fulano is a
coal black horse, 6 years of age, which
possesses the intelligence of a human
being. The act is prsented 'In a most
beautiful manner, staged with every
possible effect, and will be offered to
the patrons of the Star Theater abso
lutely In addition to the programme,
which, in itself, would be more than
value to the public. ,
Among the excellent motion pictures
which are to be presented in this new
bill are: "A Woman's Way." intensely

He once had a fling at managing theatrical-
stars.
"The Gay Hussars," the new military
operetta which sprang into tremen
dous favor following its first perform
ance in America last week, will be the
first new musical show of the sea
son on Broadway.
The merry editor of Puck says: "A
statistician estimates that 2,500,000
Americans have seen . 'The Merry
Widow' at an outlay of $2,694,000. Sub
scribers with a taste for these things
will be interested in learning further
that 48,682 hurdy-gurdys playing the
'Merry Widow' waltz have caused 532,
673 plain and 4,896,577 fancy curses;
that 66,327 literary persons have writ
ten 1,437,660 'Merry Widow para
graphs, and that 10,783.962 men have
had their noses skinned by 'Merry
Widow" hats. This is positively final."

"In naming 'Keegan's Pal,' " said
Paul Wllstach, speaking of his latest
success, "I took a leaf out of a les
son I learned from Richard Mansfield.
He often used to say 'Find out what
the others are doinir and don't do it.'
Another of his theories was that the
difference, between originality and ec
centricity was determined by atten
dant success. The recent fashion in
titles has been for one word preceded
by the artiole 'The': 'The Battle,' 'The
Bridge,' The Climax, 'The Vampire,'
'The Conflict,' 'The Bachelor,' etc., etc.
Another Is the four-word formula, of
which the first is an article and the
third a preposition. For Instance
The Man From Home,' 'The Girl From
Buotor'a.' 'The House of Bondage.' 'The
Dawn of Tomorrow." and dozens of
others. A third conventionality is the
trinltv of adjective preposition and
noun: The Third Degree,' The Fight
Ina- Hone.' 'The Easiest Way,' etc
These are all excellent titles, but they
are after fixed patterns. Unlike them
and unlike each other and unlike any
thing else are only a few of the other
recent titles, 'Going some,- tsnam,
'Salvation Nell" and 'What Every Wo
man Knows.'
"What I tried for was a perfect ex
pression of the essence of my story ir
an original phrase. 'Keegan's Pal,
you'll perhaps agree, is unhackneyed in
scenic splendor: -"The Two Pigeons,"
one of Pathe's hand-colored picturess .
"The Morning After." a rattling com
edy, and "Sentinel on Duty." a splendid
romantic drama. In addition to this
there is a splendid illustrated song by
the Star's new singer, who haV already
become a favorite.
The management would also like to
draw the attention of the public to the
fact that on Mondays, special matinees
will be given with religious subjects;
Tuesdays, request pictures. On Wed
nesdays, the programme is entirely
changed; Thursdays, musical tryouts;
Fridays, novelties, and Saturday after
noons are absolutely devoted to the
children.
TWO BIG CHORUSES COMING
Famous Tabernacle Choir; and Ohio
Male Chorus to Be Heard.
Two of the greatest singing organiza
tions in America are headed west for
competition at the A.-Y.-P. Exposition
at Seattle, the management of the" Ex
position having offered magnificent
prizes for the best singing society in
this country.
The Tabernacle choir from Salt Lake,
consisting of 200 mixed voices, has a
National reputation, and will come to
the Coast with the best voices obtain
able in the Mormon City. This choir
will be heard in Portland at the Baker
Theater, Tuesday, August 24, prior to
the contest.
Immediately after the competition is
over In Seattle, the music-loving publio
will have an opportunity of listening
to the Ohio male chorus, composed of
BO prize singers. They are under the
leadership of Hugh W. Owens, musical
director from Chicago, who has an In
ternational reputation as a conduotor.
This famous chorus is billed as "vic
tors In a hundred contests," so Portland
will be able to judge of the relative
merits of these two greatsinglng socie
ties as compared with our own Apollo
Club, In which we all take a pardonable
pride. The Ohio male chorus will ap

story of Pater Raeburn the criminal
lawyer, who when a boy was the pal
of the thief to whose silence he owes

A new dramatic newspaper to be
called the New York Review will have
its first issue today. The first few
weeks it will be Issued as a Sunday
paper and as soon as circumstances
justify it will be made into a daily.
Its policy will be "the open door for
news," matter relating to everybody's
attractions being acceptable. There!
will be a large Chicago department,
edited by Herbert C. Duce, manager
of the Garrick theater.
Mrs. FIske closed her season at Mil

The Chicago Tribune has just concluded
a prize play contest for amateur play
wrights andfthe New York World has one
in progress. It is promised that the prize
winning plays will be given early produc

"Hamlet," but as Hamlet, mark you! is a
next season promise the fulfillment of
which will be awaited with much curios
ity and interest. It iB an outcome of the
alliance recently made by Miss Marlowe
and Mr. Sothern, and the latest arrange
ment is that the two players will alternate
In the role of the melancholy Dane. When
Miss Marlowe dons the somber vestments
of Prince Hamlet Mr. Sothern will wear
the ermine robes and share the throne '
with Queen Gertrude. When it is Mr.
Sothern's turn to play the lead Miss
Marlowe will content herself by appear
ing as Ophelia.
-In support of her determination to act
the part. Miss Marlowe contends that no
other Shakespearean role gives an equal
opportunity to an actor and that a pre
sentation of the character by a woman
would add to its appeal and detract
nothing from its illusion or intent. Her
conception will be an effort to portray the
spiritual qualities of the Prince. It
will be recalled that one of Miss Mar
lowe's earliest successes was made In the
portrayal of the youthful but unfortunate
Chatterton.
In "The Only Law," the play by Wil
son Mizner and George Bronson Howard,
to be produced at the Hackett Theater,
New York, this month by Walter M.
Lawrence, playgoers are to be intro
duced, it is said, to a phase of life that
has aever been presented on the stage.
Situations, development, and lines, the
announcement Bays, the all new. It may
be that the "phase of life" will be so
new and so different as to be unrecogniz
able, or It may be that Mr. Mizner has
furnished a plot by telling the real story
of his famous matrimonial . adventure
and thus for ail time will clear that event
of the mystery and secrecy which still
enshroud it.

Frank Daniels will be a Shubert star
next season, and for his use his managers
have secured the American rights to
'The Belle of Brittany," a musical piece
which has been conspicuous among the
successes of the London season. Mr.
Daniels has been abroad for several
weeks looking over the musical comedy
market with a view to choosing his next
season's vehicle, and "The Belle of Brit
