PLEASURE of a rather unusual sort Is in store for Portland rouslo lovers In the) coming of John lie Cormack.'the great Irish tenor, who ! destined to take his place among tha few really great tenora of musical his tory. - Tha power of emotional appeal in those old songs of love, longing and Imagination, that he sings is perhaps unequaled In all aong lltsrature. The marvelous sweetness of McCormack's voice Is aided by a wealth of tempera ment peculiarly Celtic, spontaneous humor and racy wit mingling with tenderness, pathos and fire of Imagina tion, those same Celtic elements which have entered into English poetry, mak ing It the greatest among the nations of Europe. .... McCormack waa born at Athlone, near Tara. the seat of the ancient king dom, where Celtic soil is richest In. song, legend, fairy and folklore. It was there that King Cormac. greatest of all the 120 pagan kings of Irish legend, ruled his people In a bygone . ... .tranrA to UV. WAS richest of all the 'countries of Europe, and on account oi us siu - much sought by the earliest ehlps that sailed the seas. From this ancient line of icings, John McCormacK, tne linger oi - scended. Brilliant pageants were then enacted at ancient Tara, where King Cormao held court, the glory of which Is commemorated In Moore's well known song. The Harp That Once In Tara's Halls." Every man. woman and child who has Irish blood In his veins will be. In terested in hearing this greatest of all Irish singers. Others who are not Irish will enjoy McCormack for the pure delight that he Is able to give by his wonderful voice and charm of per sonality. He will be heard at the Helllg under the direction of Lois Stecrs-Wynn Coman. Friday. Febru ary 16.

Governor West's Approval Gained by Author and Picture-Drama to Be Sec a Throughout Country. Melvin G. Wlnstock, general manager of the Peoples Amusement Company, has written and copyrighted -a photo play entitled "The Convict's Parole," which has not only met with the approval of Governor West, but has also been read and favorably passed on by a. prominent official of the Vita graph Corporation, and who, on his recent visit to Portland, promised the ' i " -, ' ' - ' : : I . ' I i ' r" t " ? : H ' -sL"C-. V :. .'1 Bfelvla O. Wlnstock, Aatfcer of Tke Convict's parole." photo-play an early production under his Immediate supervision. It is n6t generally known, for Mr. Wlnstock Is a modest man, that he Is the author of a number of successful theatrical offerings. Some few years ago he wrote the "Western Politician," which was put on at the Seattle The ater and enjoyed quite a run. He also wrote the libretto of "Otoyo," which ran one entire season at the Madison Square Garden Theater and afterwards was sold to Richard Carle and used as the basis for the "Mayor of Tokio." A half dozen vaudeville sketches are also to his credit. Alex Pantages says that "A Seal skin Sacque." by Mr. Wlnstock, is the best comedy sketch which the Pan tages circuit aver booked, "A Star in Pawn," by him, shortly will be released by the Thomas A. Edison Company. "The Convict's Parole" is a strong drama, based on the famous prison parole policy Instituted in this state by Governor West. Its hero is an ex-safe-cracker, whose parole has been granted by the Governor. This re deemed criminal is tempted to de part from honor's straight road by others. He is by force of circumstances compelled to suffer the appearance of guilt; he will not betray his enemies, though by so doing he could safely establish the fact of his own innocence and in his act secure an honorable acquittal. But the Gov ernor, in the photo play, has been In formed of the true facts and his excel lency places himself In a position where he sees and knows what actually trans pires at the midnight meeting of the criminals. Just as the state's case against the prisoner is about to close, the Governor himself takes the wit ness stand and voluntarily offers the testimony which proves tha ex-safe-cracker worthy of the effort that has been made to lift from his life the shadow of crime. A number of dramatic critics have looked over the scenario and with one accord they pronounce the opinion that the tale In pictures will be exception ally strong, and that even without the added Interest gubernatorial experi ment in photoplaylsm, the base story will be impressive because it contains dramatic situations of the most thrill ing Interest.
