THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 31, 1909. fed appeared for nearly two years, and now Alexander Pantages has brought htm westward for a limited engagement on his circuit. T The topline attraction will be one of th strongest ever .offered by a local vaude ville theater and will be a treat for young and old. Playing ball, walking down stairs backwards, balancing a stick on Ms nose whila riding a galloping pony about the stage are only a few of the many feata which makes the act such an important one. One of the cleverest sketches on the stage of, today is presented by Golden and Ardith.. The. scene Is in the studio of a physical Instructor, and the manner In which the various callers learn the ropes furnishes one continuous scream of fun. Mr. Ardith Is a lightning- change artist of note, and plays the Irishman, the Dago and the German with a great deal of skill. Balancers who have won an lnterna ' tionaT reputation for themselves are W. S. Harvey & Co. Mr. Harvey's famous trick of burning a paper, balanced on the end of his nose, has never been duplicated by anyone, although many have at tempted It. Glen Burt is a Hebrew comedian parodist of merit and his act will differ from the usual act of the kind. Inasmuch as all his parodies and Jokes are new and really funny. The well-known eccentric musical comedians. Swift and Casey, occupy a prominent position on the new bill and their minstrel Imitations are the best heard In vaudeville for a lon time. Their work on the accordlan. trombone and musical pipes will bo a distinct novelty. Jarvia, Mann and Jurenda are delightful narmony singers. "THE SHEPHERD KING" SOON Famous Actor, Wright Lorimer, in ' Big Spectacle at Bungalow. In the appearance of H. Wright Lorl mer in 'The Shepnerd King." at the Bun galow Theater. Twelfth and Morrison streets, for five performances beginning Thursday afternoon. November 25 (Thanksgiving Day), there will be intro duced a new star in the dramatic firma ment and a personality of uncommon in terest and force. Mr. Wright Lorimer. who has so quicklv won undeniable fame as an actor, author and producer, has made such a firm impression in the realms of dramatic art in this country by his magnificent production of "The Shep herd King." and hie own earnest and artistic portrayal of the part of David, that he is already recognized as one of the most sterling successes in the dra matic field. Mr. Lorimer is a young man only 30 years old. and seems to have been des tined to the high work he is carrying out in the Impressive presentation of "The Shepherd King." which Is literally the first strictly Biblical play of modern times. Mr. Lorimer from early years has been a profound scholar. Although of American birth, he took special studies at Oxford University, England. ' He could now be occupying an eminent position as professor, it Is said, were it not that his strong bent and Innate talent for the drama made him cast aside hla great lit erary opportunitiea for the stage.

As a change In minstrel shows, the end men will make up aa Filipinos, and a beautiful tropical setting is being built for the occasion. A laughable burlesque will be the feature of the second part of the show and consists of a lot of well-known local characters and local atmosphere. David Rosebrook will direct a large orchestra of 12 pieces and Lincoln Hart will direct the stage. Manager George L.

"KING DODO" COMING AGAIN John C'ort Will Present Merry Comedy-Opera Next Sunday. "King Dodo." that feast of musical fancies which is considered by thousands of showshoppers to be the greatest of all comedy operas, will be the attraction at the Bungalow Theater. Twelfth and Morrison streets, for four nights beghi nlng Sunday, November 2S. N It is safe to say that few entertain ments of like nature have enjoyed the remarkable financial success that has fallen to the lot of thia merry mingling of mirth and melody, by Plxley and Luders. One solid year divided between Daly's Theater. New York, the Tremont Theater, Boston, and the Studebaker Theater, Chicago, Is only one of the many records it haa made. "King Dodo" this season will be seen in an entirely new dress. The scenery, costumes and effects axe said to be even more elaborate than in the original pro duction. John Cort has spared no ex pense la endeavoring to make this the grandest "King" of all. Charles H. Jones, who staged the original, was spe cially engaged for this production. FIXE PICTCRE ' BILL AT STAR ?few Programme Opens) With Mati nee at I o'clock This Afternoon. The show which begins at the Star Theater at the matinee today will con sist of four more than ordinary excel lent 'pictures, never before exhibited In this city, character change acts and il lustrated songs. The splendid special concerts offered by the automatic or chrstra specially imported for this thea ter have given unbounded satisfaction throughout the past week. The particular feature picture is a breeay Western comedy drama entitled. "The Best Man Wins," showing how the boys on a cattle ranch fought for and how one of them finally won the love of the winsome daughter of his employer. "The Three Thanksgivings." another pic ture quite appropriate on account of the fact that Thanksgiving day will shortly be celebrated, portrays the adventures of a young man; who after many ups and ' downs in life finally won out in time to ' save. his family from sorrow and starva 1 Hon. ' "From Workhouse to Mansion" Is a mmf pretty romance detailing in graphic manner the loyalty of a young girl who was taken by a family from the poorhouse and who finally succeeded in winning the heir to the household, and another very appropriate picture entitled "Woman's Rights Battle," a ratuing comedy showing how the ladles get to gether In attempting to establish equal rights with the male members of crea tion. Jean Wilson will sing an up-to-date illustrated song and Miss Marguerite Mc Klbbin will offer a very pretty little act Including a number of character songs. The performance on Sunday begins at 1 o'clock and runs through continuously until 11 P. il. The management has added a number of heaters and the thea ter la now quite warm and comfortable. An entertaining programme can certain ly be expected by the people. NEW PLAY BY JULES GOODMAN "Mother" Is the Title of Drama by Portland Man. "Mother,", a new play by Jules Eckert Goodman, was accepted last week by William A. Brady for early production. A well-known woman star is to have the title role. "Mother" deals with the race suicide problem constructively. Mr. Good man, who was brought up in Portland and graduated from the Portland High School, Is the author of "The Man Who Stood Still." in which Louis Mann is now playing, and "The Test," In which Blanche Walsh haa made a great success. She will be seen In Portland in this play next January. Detective Play Coming to Lyric. For the week of November 28. Rob ert Athon. of the Athon stock company, at the Lyric, has secured at large roy alty, the entire Western rights to Sir A. Conan Doyle's greatest story of the Sherlock Holmes series. "The Sign of the Four." the play that revolutionized the secret service of the United Statea to an extent of international Importance. The character of Sherlock Holmes made famous by William Gillette is the essential point upon which the play is founded, and his well-known idea of deduction as a method of incriminat ing criminals by their own actions bases the plot of the most interesting pieces of fiction- ever penned. The knighting of A. Conan Doyle after his works became famous by the King of England was not because of his merit as a novelist, but because of his works proving of such wonderful assistance to the British force of secret service and to Scotland Yard in general. The play will be a great feature of the Athon successes. Next Attraction at the Portland. "Mr. Hopkinson" will be the attrac tion to be presented at the Portland Theater, by Sam S. St Lee Shubert.Inc, for six evenings, beginning November 29. This is the comedy which enjoyed a two-year run at the Wyndluun Thea ter, London, before receiving its New York premier. Here it played seven months at the Savoy Theater, and five added months at the Hackett Theater, oefore going on the road. The original company, headed by Dallas Welford, will appear exactly as it apeared in New York, and during Its recent pre sentation at the Valencia Theater, San Francisco, every newspaper of the Bay City gave it a most cordial reception. This will be one of the comedy treats of the season at the big uptown play house, and those who enjoy sparkling comedy will do well to see "Mr. Hop kinson.'.' German Play to Be Given. "Wurst Wider Wurst," a real old Ger man play, will be presented at Windhorst Hall on November 23 by the dramatic section of St. Joseph's Society. The play is in five acts, and a comedy which will appeal to Germ an-Americans. A feature will be the rendition of real old German songs by a competent quartet.
