Except for the rumblings of strife
around the construction of the new
Heillg Theater, the week has been quiet
theatrically. Whether or sot it was
by good luck, the vaudeville houses
presented unusually good . offerings
that more than compensated for the
lack of "legitimate" attractions. For
some little reason of their own some
of the workmen on the Heillg quit,
thus making It doubtful whether the
new playhouse will be ready for occu-
. pancy September IS. as originally
promised. However. Calvin Heillg says
the curtain will rise between Septem
ber It and October 1. although owing
ta the uncertainty the opening attrao-
;tlon cannot be stated.

WEBER'S BAXD AT THE OAKS
Fine Musical 6rganlaatlon Makes
Farewell Appearance) This Week.
Ideal seems to be the proper word to
use when referring to the Oaks. There
Is no question of the beauty of Its
surroundings, and the park Is pro
nounced by visitors from other sections
of the country as a charming spot. We
at home are proud to overlook what
we have right at hand, and In a man
ner -to depreciate these things. -No
one, however, with any sense of appre
ciation of the beautiful in nature and
art can fall to place the Oaks as
among the "show" places of Portland.
Weber's band has been plsying at
this besutlful park for the past two
weeks snd Is now entering on Its fare
well series of concerts. Tuesdays
Weber devotes to symphonies. A rare
treat Is furnished by the noted band
maater and his organization In giv
ing ths masterpieces of musical com
positions. Miss Blanche Mehaffy. the
charming soprano, accompanying ths
hnfl on this tour of the Coast, h
taken as high a rosltlon here as she
attained In the East, which Is saying
that shs occupies first rank among
the dramatlo sopranos of the country.
Of attractive appearance, she capti
vates her audiences upon every ap
pearance. Behind her Junoesque per
sonality she develops a voice of rare
sweetness and power. It is doubtful
If another such splendid voice has been
heard In park concerts In Portland. "

Large Crowds. .
Th - new Majestic ' Theater was
opened last night In the old Olds. Wort

of the patrons. Mr. Leo White, the
popular baritone, sings some splendid
new songs.
The theater Is large and commodious
and Is artistically desorated. A great
variety of pictures will be shown to
Interest the old as well as the younger
amusement seekers.
Last Park Concert Today

Appearance for This Summer at
City Park.
WITH the programme to be given at

ment of the famous sextet from "Lucia
dl Lammermoor," by Dstnizettl. will be
given.
Despite the small appropriation for
park band concerts, this year, the season
has been a successful one. The first con
cert was given July 3, at the City Park,
and today's will be the eighth there.
Three concert were given at Holladay
Park, three on the Plaza and one at
Ladd's Park, Sunnyside. There has
been no rain at any time to Interfere
with arrangements. .
The park concert idea In Portland was
originated by Charles L. Brown, some
eight yeers ago, and he has conducted
the concerts Ave seasons. Music In the
parks has proved popular and thousands
have attended at every appearance of the
band. Mr. Brown says he has larger
plans In view for future seasons. The en

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF
PLAYS AND PLAYERS
EDITED BT LEO!tG CASS BIER.
Mr. Tyler's comments anent the Pas
sion Play above are not shared by Otla
Skinner, although those who talked
with Skinner when he appeared In
Portland with Izetta Jewel, fear there
may be a sarcastic Intonation some
where under his remarks. This Is what
"Your Humble Servant" wrote: "The
Passion Play la an emotion and a big
one. Tou can't shake It off. No one
can remain quite indifferent. Strong
men who never sat 45 minutes In a
theater without going out for a drink,
remain silent and smokeless and drink
less for eight hours, and then come out
looking wise and chastened. When the
atrophied actor gets thrilled like this
well he remarks it."
"T had rather be accepted by Frohman
than be produced by anyone else." That
Is what a number of playwrights must
be saving. Frohman has accepted and
paid for in cash more than 200 manu
scripts not even announced yet.
"
Frohman has Imported Julia James to
play In "Our Miss Gibbs," that London
musical comedy of the "shops." A bare
three years ago Miss James declared she
would not leave "dear old Lunnon" for
anything.

Some Idea of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
popularity In England may be gauged
from th announcement that his last
Sherlock Holme play, "The Speckled
Band" that grewsome story which tells
how Holmes catches a man who em
ploys a speckled snake to kill his victims
which has been running for a year in
London, has paid in royalties a greater
sum than any other one of Doyle's 'books
or plays has earned. Frohman will pro
duce "The Speckled Band" In this coun
try, and it Is expected on the Coast the
latter part of the season.
Twenty-six ambitious playwrights each
swears that he or she Is the author of a
new Harris play, "A Matter of Money."
Harris knows how to de.l with that ilk.
To each he has sent a circular letter ask
ing for the scenario and a full cast of
characters. A noise like silence will prob
ably be the result. (

Frank Coffinberry, of the Grand, have

threaten to. It would be Interesting
to know If Mr. Bowes' socks have been
In better wearing condition since the

The press agent this side the Styx of
William Shakespeare Is evidently au
thority for the published statement that

A Paris dispatch says "the divine
Sarah" fainted when John L. Sullivan
and Mme. Bernhardt met on the stairs
of a hotel. Asked If the story was
true, the tragedienne massacred a little

hate him for it. Sullivan is one great,
big, dreadfully splendid man. Such a
thrill magnlHque as he gives."
The offer of $1000 a week for the
Leneve woman to go Into vaudeville
ought to encourage the devotees of
"high living and plain thinking." Lo
cally, however, there Is no vaudeville
market of that nature.
James M. Barrie, creator of that de
lightful character, "Peter Pan," has
made a ten-strike again. This time
whimsicality replaces the droll serio
comedy of "What Every Woman
Knows." The latest addition to the
humor of the world Is entitled "A Slice
of Life." 'Tis a burlesque on the sex
question and is even more Barryesque
than any previous work. The charac
ters announce their past history for
the benefit of the audience. "We use
the telephone to tell the audience who .
we are," says one of the characters. The
man who can treat with whimsicality
the sex question after nobly resigning
his wife to another as Barrie did Is a
humorist Indeed. '
Mike Donlln will not prey on our
sympathies next season. The left field
er of the "Giants" will not appear with
his dainty wife, Mabel Hlte. John T.
Kelley will have a play for Miss Hlte .

Special encouragement Is being given
Esperantlsts In Washington. At their
convention last week Shakespeare's
"As You Like It" was presented by,
a stock company for several perform

to the members of the company who

new play In Engllsn every seven

Jeanne Towler has Just concluded her
730th performance of the queen In
"Three Weeks." This is surely an in-
dicatlon of the attraction that some
thing that promises to be bad, when it
la merely silly, has for some people.
Having an all-star cast In a play
has disadvantages. The cast of Jim
th Penman" has literally been shot
to pieces" by the Fall starring engage
ments of many members of the com
pany. "Jim" has had a record run. but
the play will probably have to be
stopped while a new company starts
rehearsing.
Orpheum followers will be glad to
know that Alice Lloyd will appear in
the West next season. She has 'been
signed for a return engagement.
Julia Mills has a press agent She
does nof announce that fact, but she
does announce that she carries a pedo
meter with her when she dances and
that so far she has danced 1125 miles
this season. Miss Mills Is one of the
"Girlies." Interesting, but "fishy."
Julian Eltlnge, who was first an
nounced to open William Morris vaude
ville in Portland and later to appear in
the Cort-Helllg theaters, says It Isn t
so. Inasmuch as Mr. Eltlnge has been
largely advertised by the independent
theater owners, they are expected to
ask Mr. Eltlnge for an explanation or
the cash, preferably the latter.
