Miss Josephine Fields. W. J. McGraw and the Eight Bama Bama Girls head the cast in 'Toyshop Pastimes," the large tabloid musical fantasy produced by Gus Sohlke. and to be presented at Pan:ss for tlie week commencing with tlie matinee tomorrow at 1:30 o'clock. The extravaganza is said to be the most pretentious to be presented in vaudeville this season. The Bama Bama sirls are said to have created a furore in the East, and Gus Sohkie's name as the producer assures the pub lic that nothing will be missed in the costuming and the scenery. Miss Kie-lds ia a recent rocruit from the legitimate ranks, where her so prano vojice won fie for her. In sev eral recent Parisian creations she will appear, including1 th Perlque gown, to seen for the first time In Portland. Mr. McGrnv is declared to be a comedi an of ability and aptly fitted to por tray the humorous character. Th Bamma Bama Girls have been selected for their beauty and voices. The Metropolitan Mah Quartet will sing melodies of yesterday and today, happily blended, and the singers aro expected to be one of the hits of the programme. Acrobatics are- indulged in by Rice, Bell and Baldwin in their, original knockabout act. The stage settings represent a scene on the Swanee River, and tiie men appear as plantation hands. Their work is fast. Each feat Is said to be new and marvelous. Comedy cartoons are drawn in whirl wind manner by Fritz Ileuston in a new way. New apparatus and new sub jects make his act full of amusement. Especially engacred and selected by Mr. Pantages are the three women solo ists In the Colonial Trio. The mem bers of the trio are experts on the vio lin, piano and cello. The selections range from grand opera to recent rag time hits, and the incidental solos are said to be delightful. Moore and Browning are blackface comedians. Their comedy is declared to be new and their songs to fit popular fajicy. They are heralded as the best artists of their kind to appear at Pan tages this season. Animated events will be shown by the Pantagescope. Rapoli. the Juggler, will give his fina performances this afternoon and tonight, supported by a programme of veradeville. EMPRESS TO HAVE GOOD SHOW Star Vaudeville Artists Will Appear, Beginning Tomorrow. Starting tomorrow afternoon, a new bill will be presented at the Empress. Heading the show will be a girl act that has won praise. The dainty mu sical headliner will be Joe Maxwell's Dancing Girls, with Julia Curtis. There are 10 people In the act, mostly, pret ty girls. Mr. Maxwell has given vaudeville patrons novelties in the pact and his act Is said to eclipse his former efforts. Julia Curtis, featured, is a dainty dancer, surrounded by an attractive chorus. In "The Girl From Tonkers," Mae Devlin, one of vaudeville's most charm ing women, will appear to advantage. The sketch is something on the order of "Raffles." with a woman as the thief. There is a love story and plenty of adventure. This playlet was recent- ly produced In New York, at which time Miss Devlin and her support re ceived warm praise. For a quarter of un hour there will be much merriment, the period that Charles Merritt and Winfield Douglas are oj tho statre. They sing and deal In sj5arklinir humor to such purpose that they are listed on the programme as a special feature. On their first tour of America comes I-.es Gougnts. in a novel musical act. They are talented parisTan musicians who introduce among other things the largest horn in the world. It is pos sible that -there may be a larger horn than the one they carry, but if so there is no record of it and so far as known this is the biggest ever manu factured. Bennington Brothers, exponents of physical culture, will display their prowess by feats. Phil Bennett. Alpine troubauor. with a voice exceptionally gifted, will be heard in old-time bal lads. The performances today will close the bill tiiat h:.s been running the past week, headed by "The Picture of Dor ian Grev." BIG HIT lKOMISKI AT LXKIC Popular Favorites Have Many Good Tiling in .Store. Again, commencing with tomorrow's matinee. Keating & Flood will, present their own popular musical comedy company and special added attractions of merit. Tom M.icGuirc. the singing Hibernian of Scotch baila.ls, who was such a decided feature at the Eyrie Theater all last week, will be retained for another week and will present an entirely new and pleasing specialty as he alone can do. MacGuIre has a per sonality that wins hfm Into the hearts of his audience right from the start, and he Is always the recipient of boun teous applause seldom heard at the finish of his performance. "The trio," V.'elss, Cunningham and ' "Weiss, will again be heard in pew and melodious harmonic selections and several char- ) acter songs. The company, which has become such a prime lavorue wiiu uib Portland theatergoers, will be seen in one of the most attractive and enter prising extravaganzas that has been witnessed in this city for many days. It is the simmering down to a quint essence of one of the most delightful, tuneful comic operas, the cream of the whole condensed down so as to be pre sented In a little over an hour. "Miss Tommy from Texas," the new bill, under the careful direction cf Allen Curtis, is constructed so as to al low the comedians great opportunities, and will serve to introduce Llllie Suth erland, the "dynamo" soubrette, in one of the most pleasing parts that she hab been seen in this season. Edward S. -s'v v v -. , ' ' - COLONIAL BELLES IX DAM IG THIS 5 ev I, . i . - : ' ' :-r Allen, who is about the biggest favorite that ever struck this man's town, will be seen as a Hebrew cowboy, and it is predicted that he will surpass In this role anything that lie has heretofore attempted. He will sing "Root-Te-Toot," and in this will no doubt be a Hot, as his previous warbling attempts have been. Frank Vack. Carlton Chase, Jack Curtis, Myrtle Guild and the rest of tl - principals have been cast with especial care. Trie chorus will be as bright, good looking, vivacious and as active and harmonious as ever. With strong talent for a background, a good story and the entire action interspersed with new songs, new dances and new chorus novelties, "Miss Tommy From Texas" cannot help hut prove the biggest attraction of the week locally. The usual two performances nightly will be given, a matinee daily and the popular chorus girls' contest on Friday night. BIG WEEK FOII FILM SHOWS High Salaried , Actor Will Appear in Tlirillinjr IraJ1iiis. Ey a peculiar coincidence all of the programmes today at the Peoples, Star, Arcade, Oh Joy, Tivoli and Crys tal contain films in which the highest salaried actors engaged in film inter pretation appear. In "Tony's Oath," the leading picture at the Peoples, Harold M. Shaw plays the part of an Italian who swears vengeance for the destruction of his daughter's honor, and gives a portrayal of the character which is particularly remarkable. In "The Telephone Girl," comedy. Bunny, the Vilagraph fat man, appears and plays the part of lend at a salary of $500 a week. "The Ordeal'1 contains Patlie's most competent comedian, and "In a Message From the Moon," Bio graph's first comedian appears and does splendid work. Besides the trio, the musical novelty will be Miss Gretchen Knorr, a pianologue come dienne, who not only lias the distinc tion of being a very pretty woman, but who sings comedy sangs and plays her own piano accompaniments in a style very much in vogue on Broad way. The Star offers the long looked-for "Roundup at Diamond S Ranch." This is one of the most exciting pictures ever thrown on a screen, showing broncho busting, branding and other Interesting stunts by cowboys and by a cowgirl, who possesses apparently the same strength and agility as that of her male competitors. In addition there is a thrilling Vitagraph railroad story. United States Government ex perimenting with torpedoes, a Pathe and "The Doctor and Miss Priscilla," a Bioraph comedy. The Arcade will offer a big detective feature film. "Will Dreams Come. True," an E?senay comedy, another comedy romance, a thrilling drama and an edueatior.r.l rirama.
