TINY Emma Trentinl, who glowed
in "The Firefly" for a week at
the Heilig. lias flitted on to make
bright another nook In the theatrical
world. For a week her phosphorescent
personality has pleased Portland .per
haps as no other light opera essayist
has; the memory of ner elusive yet well
defined charm lingers and the weeks
until she comes again cannot pass too
quickly. -
In serious contrast the Heilig this
week turns to less fantastic entertain.
irtent none the less effective, however,
in Its purpose. "The Inside of the
White Slave Traffic," a film produc
tion with cold, bard facts as a basis,
designed to show to the public the
lures and traps of a vicious com
mercialized vice, has been staged under
the direction of a former Government
Inspector and has been indorsed by
sociological workers, including . judges
who have to deal with crime of this
particular stamp. The pictures will be
given in continuous performance every
afternoon and night for the next 11
lays excepting Thursday night. March
12, when Fritz Kreisler, violinist, will
be heard in concert No one under 18
years of age will be admitted to see the
films. The productions start about 1
o'clock today.
The next regular road attraction at
the Heilig will be the week of March
2S, when Maeterlinck's wonderful, sym
bolistic "Bluebird" comes for the week
with three matinees. Closely follow
ing "The Bluebird" will be Henrietta
Crosman. Peggy O'Neill in "Peg o'
My Heart" follows Miss Crosman.
Manager Fangle Is now negotiating
with the producers of Captain Scott's
pictures of the trip to the Pole. The
pictures have been seen In Portland
once, and as the arrangements have
to be conducted through London at
present, the exact date for their return
has not been fixed.
The Baker players aided by little
Mayo Jlethot drew packed audiences
all last week in "The Littlest Rebel."
and the 8-year-old star carried not
only much of the burden of the play,
but walked away with much of .the
Klory. This week, opening this after
noon, she will again be seen In "Alias
Jimmy Valentine." Paul Armstrongs
Inimitable play of criminology.
It is a coincidence that while one of
Mr. Armstrong's plays Is being pro
duced in stock at the Baker, there
comes to head the bill at the Orpheum
one of his sketches dealing with
criminal life. It Is "To Save One Girl."
Augmenting this is also Shirll Rives
and company in "The Song of the
Heart." The new Orpheum bill opens
this afternoon.
At the Empress . Rossow's Midgets,
two of the tiniest men in the world,
will be the headline attraction. On
the double bill, which opens today, by
the way, instead of Monday, as in the
past, also are Hazel Kirke, "the child
Melba." and Alex Korea, "the boy
Paderewski." The Empress this week
changes to Sunday openings and there
will be a double matinee and double
night performance as a result of com
bining the two weeks' bills.
"The Princess of Kama," a sketch of
music, tragedy and splentior dealing
with the mysticism of India, comes to
headline the Pantages bill opening to
morrow. Edwin Keough and Helen
Nelson in "Ambition" a. sketch, are
also on the bill.
The Lyric offers, beginning tomorrow
afternoon, besides the regular musical
production, the Royal Hussars Ladles'
Band.
The Peoples Theater for four days
beginning this afternoon is featuring
an elaborate production of "The Pride
of Jennico," a film conception dealing
with a romantic story or knighthood
days.
"ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE" ON
Famous Criminal Play Is Presented
by Baker Players.
Paul Armstrong has achieved milch
fame as a writer of crook plays, but
his original "Alias Jimmy Valentine."
which the Baker Players will offer
for the week starting this afternoon,
stands at the head of the list.
It Is the story of a reformed burglar
known as Jimmy Valentine. The first
act finds him serving a term in Sing
Sing. Several other types of criminals
are shown on visiting day. as well as
the inside workings of the famous peni
tentiary under the old system now
undergoing so many changes towards
reform. Among the visitors is a
young girl from the West, wbo
recognizes In Valentine a young man
who once rescued her from the at
tack of a ruffian on the train. She
succeeds In obtaining his pardon and
induces him to come West to accept
ft position In her father's bank. He
brings two of his old pals with him,
after resisting the temptation to go
bark to the old life.
Some time after he is found In a
responsible position in the bank, with
Red as watchman. And here he ' is
traced by Eetectrve Dole. who is after
him for another crime committed in
Massachusetts. Jimmy, who is now
known by his true name, puts up
such a bluff that Doyle is about to
retire, when Red comes running In
exclaiming that a little sister of
Jimmy's benefactress has locked her
self In the vault to which no one has
the combination and begging him to
open it and save her.
Jimmy Is the only man living who
ran open a combination by the sense of
touch and Doyle knows it, so he
watches the operation from behind a
door. When the child is safe he ap-
Commenclng this afternoon at I
o'clock, at the Heilig Theater, Eleventh
and Morrison, and running continuously
daily for eight atternoons and seven
nights, will be the first opportunity to
witness the much-discussed motion
picture feature, "The Inside of the
White Slave Traffic." Sensation after
sensation is shown. Under the-direction
of Samuel H. London, the cele
brated white slave investigator, theae
pictures were made in various parts of
the country and make up one of the
most startling stories ever filmed..
In strong and powerful manner the
workings of the traffickers in white
slaves are pictured. The films have
been projected from one end of the
country to the other in the leading
theaters and have been witnessed by
hundreds of thousands. Widespread
discussion has been aroused by them.
They have been commended by many
of the leading lights of the, country.
In speaking of the picture Mrs. W. K.
Vanderbilt. Sr., said: "One does not
have to be either broad minded or
particularly Intelligent to grasp the
Importance of the great lesson which
it points out so strongly to both parent
and child."
Judge Gatens, of Portland, Or., in
viewing the pictures at a private ex
hibition said: "Show these pictures,
by all means, and - they certainly will
tend to lessen the work of the Juvenile
Courts."
ORPHEl'M SKETCH DRAMATIC
"To Save One Girl" Likened to Illi
nois Political "Scandal."
The plot to "get" Barratt O'Hara,
Lieutenant-Governor of Illinois, head
of the .Vice Investigation Commission,
Is likened to the plot of "To Save One
Girl," the Paul Armstrong playlet
which heads the Orpheum bill opening
today. The affair gained such no
toriety that, dramatized, it has also
commanded great attention, and Lieutenant-Governor
O'Hara, after seeing
the play at the Palace Theater, Chi
cago, publicly indorsed it as a. stimulus
to public morals and the public con
science. Mr. Armstrong is well known to local
theater-goers through is authorship
of several successes, such as "A Ro
mance of the Underworld," "The Te;p
Purple" nd "Alias Jimmy Valentine,"
all of which have been seen In Port
land, and in his new one-act play he
has assembled some strong dramatic
situations which are well presented by
an entirely competent company. The
playlet is also cleverly Htaged.
The hearty reception which Shirll
Rives received in "The Eternal Waltz."
Leo Fall's Viennese operetta, musical
success of last season, determined her
to become a fixture in vaudeville. She
comes to Portland this week as the star
of adelightful musical story, "The
Song of the Heart." Miss Rives wears
some stunning gowns in her role of
opera singer and has the assistance of
a capable supporting company.
Tiie Hartleys, an Englishman and
woman, are making their first Amer
ican tour. Mr. Hartley Is the proud
possessor of the English championship
belt for running broad jump, having
cleared somethingover 45 feet. In his
vaudeville act he gives a series of ex
hibitions In novelty jumping, while his
fair assistant provides a liberal amount
of comedy element.
Jack and Phil Kaufman ' have few
equals on the stage as burnt cork
artists. Their act Is guaranteed a sure
cure for the blues.
Mindel Kingston is no stranger to
vaudeville circles, for she-has long
been recognized as one of the variety
entertainers really worth whl.'e. Miss
Kingston and her clever partner, George
Ebner, are presenting her "Vaudeville
flirtation." which Is a vaudeville treat.
Helen Ruggles Is called the demi
tasse prima donna, because of her slight
stature, but her rich, full voioe. com
bined with her extended European
training makes her advent Into vaude
ville a notable one. Two dashing
young Frenchwomen, Matilde and El
vira, present an original act compris
ing novelty songs ami dances.
