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.

is in this big first part that several
fine musical numbers will be rendered

As a change In minstrel shows, the

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.

lent 'pictures, never before exhibited In

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

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

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.
