The press of the Middle West on the occasion of her recent appearance was more than lavish in Its praises of her offering. Mis Mc-Cane is a most enereetic young woman and when she needs a soner she makes it just like a clever woman who wants a new dress Just makes it. She needs many new sonfts. too, and as she is adverse to making; use of the product of the music pub lishers, she relies upon her own re sources. Miss McC'ane has a host of admir ing friends in Portland who will be triad to hear of her engagement here. She will be remembered as the beauti ful and gifted soprano. - who opened with Klralfy"s Carnival of Venice Coin panl on the Trail at the 1905 Fair. IN PORTLAND THEATERS Continued From Page 2. cated In the annals of vaudeville. The act has been brought to the Pacific Coast by Alexander Pantages for a very limited engagement at heavy expense, and packed houses have welcomed It everywhere.

His pedestal work has never been equalled by anyone of his many hundred Imita tors. In a ladder run from the stage to far out Into the audience, he inakvs a thrilling dash for life and besides this dare-devil" feat.' Buckner rides up 'and down a long flight of stairs and risks his life 'with his marvelous work.. Another act which has appeared as 3 topliner in many of the large Eastern theaters Is Seymour's Happy Family, a really remarkable collection of trained cats who play a drama entitled. "A Villain at Lunch Time." in which each little animal plays an important role. A remarkable duo of banjoists are the Clarke, a man and woman with won derfully, nimble flners who pick the lat est ragtime and the most difficult classi cal selections with equal ease. Ned Nyo Is a monologue comedian who is really funny and tells a half hundred truly wonderful funny stories. J. G. Mack & Co. have a comedy sketch called.

Only adjectives ran do Justice to the vaudeville programme which ' Sullivan & Consldine are sending to the Grand this week. This new bill opens with the matinee tomorrow. The Kltabanzal troupe of Japanese acrobats has-been secured for the headline act. This Is one of -the. moBt wonderful troupes of jugglers, balancers and all-around ac robats and gymnasts coming to America from the land of the Mikado. A special feafure of the act Is the -gorgeous drop curtain used by the com pany. This represents a large Japanese battleship fleet under full steam. The fleet of vessels are headed sfalglit to ward the audience. Every inch of this picture is made of embroidery. It re quired 30 embroiderers six months to sew thi curtain, which Is now valued at $10,000. "The Battle' of L'y" Rurri" is the title of the added feature of the bill. This is a screaming farce, a kind of ocean going travesty, for Ed Gallagher and 'i' .... ' ' T ""'"' tfV Lou Shehan appear as German tars. Their talk l bright and breezy and they keep up a steady fire of fan and absurdity. Something a little different from the acts usually found In vaudeville is "The Markham Divorce ' Case." This will be presented by John Sturgeon and . company. Sturgeon Is a well known i actor and this little playlet gives htm an opportunity to appear at his best. It is also a new Idea on the divorce question. Steeley arid Edwards are musicians who have made a name for themselves over the circuit. Those who appreci ate melody will especially like the act. - "Herald Square Jimmy." a sketch of life on the East Side. New York, will be given by Dick and Alice McAvoy. Dorothy Dahl. a sinful comedienne, will appear and there will be an Illustrated song and motion pictures. The current bill, which gave such satisfaction the past week, ends today. It Is one of the season's best shows.' GREAT PICTURES AT THE STAR Splendid Bill to Open With Matinee at 1 o'clock This Afternoon. The best blended show that the Star Theater lias yet presented to its patrons will bein with today's matinee. Each I picture presented will be of a nature j that does all but taiK. i ne. acung-m each is superb and there can be no mistake in the meaning Intended to be conveved hv the various actors engaged bv the different companies. That which Is he best on the hill is a blograph production entitled "Unrequited Love." which Is so gripping In its power that it cannot fall to bring forth a sigh or a tear. . ' Another very great offering pro duced by the Vitagraph Company will be "Entombed Alive." being a presenta tion of an Italian love romance. In order to have this bill perfectly blend ed and offer something of a lighter nature the Star management has been able to secure a costume comedietta, "All Is Fair In Love." produced bv the Edison Company, nnd another Edison picture entitled "The Three Kisses," and very humorous In character. These four great subjects, handled exquisitely from a photographic point of view, will be supplemented by new pictorial views and an Illustrated song Just recently published in the East, and other extra attractions engaged espe cially for the patrons of the Star Theater. The doors will be opened at 1 o'clock and the performance will run continuously until 11 o'clock and the management' is confident that the en tire bill will afford to Its patrons com plete satisfaction.
