With the gorgeous 1 n-ll Tltinmh as the sDeclal added feature the offering is unquestionably one of tha most elaborate that will be seen in Portland for many a day.

The Six Brown Brothers are some thing; entirely new in the musical field. Saxophones are their pets, their daily diet, and It is fair to say that these real brothers have divided honors with topliners in every theater. Then there will be dainty June Imes. cute and cunning, in songs of the day. and the famous Spanish dancers La Arer.era and Victor, while Maud Hall, Macv presents one of the funniest things on any stage in the "Magpie and the Jay."

At -the conclusion of the Merrill pro duction Mr. Merrill mounts a tandem far up in the files. A spring is re leased and machine and man are hurled into space, the tandem turning a com plete somersault in Its descent. The feat is thrilling and one that is sure to attract widespread attention. . Aa a grand opera trio, the Doric or ganization is highly commended.

Follow ing the several selections, a costumed acene from "Faust" is offered. Special scenery is used and the singers are seen in fitting costumes of rich "de scription.

Willie SUSS .Kicvjlll in i"c role Is all that could be aesirea. Her I support is exceueni. One of the real vaudeville movemea of the season is Payton. the four-voiced singer. His voice is one of the most remarkable ever heard and his appear ance here will be welcomed by lovers of good music. Changing from heavy Whrito'ne ' to light tenor. Payton In variably creates a profound sensation. I A-Ba-Be's Album is a new novelty ! which serves to introduce a striKingiy pretty girl In a series oi poses, a nugc book forming the frame for the hu man postures. The act is unique and from a spectacular standpoint cannot be excelled. Delaney andWoilman are singers and dancers who make good from the mo ment they appear.

KM P HESS" OH KHIXG JS CLASSY Popular Vaudeville House Promises ' Real Comedy In Crey Sketch. Another 10-strlke Is promised ln tha vacdevllle programme which opens Monday afternoon at the Empress. The it V fit ,.a past week has witnessed a snappy, classy show, and the new bill Is said to equal- It ln all respects and con tain even more novelties. For tha headline offering Sullivan 4 Consl dine are sending Rae-Brosche Co. ln one of the funniest comedies that Will cressv has written for vaude ville. This Is "Bottle fi-40-9" and con tains a laugh in every line. There is no one who better understands how to write a merry sketch for vaudeville patrons than Cressy. and in this sketch, which has never been seen In Port land, the author Vi said to be at his best. It is Interpreted by a company of e'ever comedians. P.obert Kulgora is the added attrac tion, who Is making a return tour with his impersonations after a trip around the world. Fulgora transforms him self Into the liv'ng image of the lead ing personages of the world. Anyone who is known to fame is readily Im personated by this artist. The act is as good as a personal Introduction to each of the noted people he portrays. This act Is not alone Interesting, but it has an educational quality. Ohe of the best musical acts of the season will be found in the Venetian Four. These Venetians - know their business and they can sing in a man ner to charm the most .Indifferent. As a musical act this will long be re membered after its engagement. Black-faced entertainers are Niblow and Riley, wlio write their own songs, originate their own jokes and evolve their own eccentric dances. As a brace of mirth-makers they are hard to beat. That Dublin Dandy. Charles Bar tholomew, comes from the music halls of London with a -repertoire of charac terizations of the' favorites of the 'alia which will be found positively unique and novel. Aerial acrobats. Miller, Eagle and Miller, have something out of the beaten track and there will be motion pictures for good measure. The bill.' which closes with the Sun day performances and headed by the Baltus .Four, is strictly first-class. Every act on the programme is of qual ity and it is one of the snappiest and best shows of the season. DANTE'S IXFERXO HAS BIG RXX Star Theater to Exhibit Great Film Indefinitely. Owing to the mysterious power which Dante's Inferno has over th mind, de spite Its sometimes hideous realism, people are not' content with seeing it just once. Thousands have visited tha Star Theater again and again to sea the matchless photo play, and when It was hinted that It would only be al lowed to remain for half a week, such a storm of protest arose that the man agement for the first time violated its usual rule and has consented to con tinue Dante's Inferno until further no tice. The People's Amusement Company has obtained the exclusive; exhibition rlshts of the entire State of Oregon, (Concluded on Page 8.) COMEDIENNE ASSERTS THAT SUCCESS IS ATTAINED BY LONG AND HARD WORK. Trlxle Frlgansa, Mies Trixie Friganza, the come dienne of "The Sweetest Girl ln Paris," Is something of a philoso pher regarding the stage and its p o s s i b llitles and requirements. Miss Friganza, who will be seen here this week, although a very young woman, has already made a name for herself ln the line of musical comedy and atrlbutes her success to close attention to busi ness and a careful regard for her employers' best interests. "When you sit down and con template success as it is applied to a career on the stage, It seems ti stand fr a monotonous hum drum exlstenc e." said Mies Friganza. "Unless the mere achievement of success is suffi cient reward for doing many tilings you do not want to do,' advancement on the stage must really seem nothing at all. This ts true, because to succeed you must work hard and long." im if 1 ! immx'mWtmyfht
