ft HEW ORPHEUH IS TO OPEN TONIGHT One of Largest and Best The aters in West to Forego All Christening Ceremony. INTERIOR IS MAGNIFICENT Playhouse, Modern and Fireproof In Every Particular, js Cheerily Comfortable and Has Ideal Site Stage Most Complete. Portland's mew Orpheum Theater, the largest In the city, and one of the most magnificent auditoriums in the West, la to be opened to the public tonight. There will be none of the ceremonies that marked the closing of the Orpheum at Its old location last July, when the Order of Muts and Trixie Friganza reveled around the place. Tonight the vaudeville artists will find their trunks In the dressing-rooms under the stage, will put on their grease paint and go to work. The new Orpheum occupies one of the most commanding positions In Portland, when considered from a showman's point of view. It faces Broadway at Stark, with the .rear en trance on Park street. Opposite the main entrance are the Imperial Hotel and the Elks Temple. On the corner north of the theater stands the Hotel Oregon, and a block further Is the Benson. Within a few minutes' walk are the Portland, the Multnomah Hotel and the Perkins. In front of the build ing many of the important streetcar lines of the city will make stops, while those patrons of the playhouses, who make use of Washington and Morrison street lines, may alight a short dis tance from the Orpheum and in one of the best-lighted districts of the city. Tbratrr Cheery and Comfortable. The new Orpheum will be found not only charmingly attractive but com fortable to the extreme limit of har monious color schemes, acoustics, leather upholstered chairs and a soft lighting system, concealed in the ceil ings. After receiving a check, which will aid in obtaining automobiles with promptness after the performance. Orpheum patrons enter a handsome double lobby, separated by heavy glass doors, behind which stand the ticket takers. Through these lobbies the floor is of black-lined gray marble blocks, their area being so spacious as to preclude the possibility of crowd ing even when emptying the 2260 per sons the theater's capacity into the streets In a hurry. To the right and left wide stairways reach upward to the mezzanine floor and the balconies. Cloakrooms Free Feature. Prom the second lobby the foyer is entered, a wide area separated from the main auditorium by heavy plate glass. To the right is the cloakroom, where wraps may bo left in charge of employes of the theater without the suspicion of a tip or stated charge be ing hinted. In fact, one of the rules which the management emphasizes is that tipping is to be discouraged. - The main auditorium, with a capaci ty of 1200, is marvelous in architecture and finish. Every seat commands a complete and unobstructed view of the entire stage. Squarely In front is the great house curtain, the centerpiece being a view of the Mount of Olives. From that charming picture the eye travels upward to the proscenium arch and sounding board, with their panels devoted to the muses, Music. Comedy, The Pance, Love, Poetry and Tragedy. Modern Moorish might properly de scribe the general impression gained from the decorative effects of the en tire interior. The basic color scheme is old rose, and the relief work is in tended to represent ancient carved ivory, picked out with the strong col ors used so much by the Moors in fa mous architectural structures of Gren ada. The only other color used through out the theater is a band of old Dutch blue, which surrounds the proscenium arch and great sounding board. On the main upper walls are Moorish land scapes, intended for decorative pur poses only. Ueuulne Floor Attractive. ' On of the charming features of the new Orpheum is the mezzanine floor and lounging room. Italian landscapes form the decorative features along the walls, while scattered about in delight ful disarray are the coziest of lounging chairs and divans. Off from this re treat open the retiring rooms for ladies and gentlemen and the smoking-room. Offices of the manager and employes of the theater are reached from the cor ner of the mazzanine floor. Balcony patrons pass through the mezzanine on their way to their seats The balcony itself has the same sur roundings as on the lower floor of the theater, and there seems to be no dif ference in the character of service its patrons will receive. Perhaps no stage in the West is so thoroughly equipped as that of the new Orpheum, a number of Its most impor tant features being the inventions of Stage Manager Thomas Huffaker. With 1700 electric light bulbs swung in bril liant reflectors from the flies, wings and footlights, and all under a con trol system which enables the operator to produce perfect sunset, dawn or storm effects, most satisfactory stage illusions are promised. The stage is equipped with 19 sets of new scenery, complete in every detail, and 72 sets of lines in the rigging lott 35,000 feet of rope and 4000 feet of steel cable are required to handle them. Throughout the theater the elctric wiring is carried through conduits. The new Orpheum is absolutely fire proof, and in case of excitement aris ing from any cause the building may be emptied in three minutes. Kleven Exits Are Provided. - Besides the main entrance 11 double door exits have been provided, seven on the ground floor and four leading from the balcony and mezzanine floor to the fire escapes. The lire escapes are wide steel stairways, protcted by substantial guard rails. On the south side of tne building the Are escapes lead to Park street, those on tho north emptying onto Stark street. Underneath the stage are 12 dressing rooms for performers and an animal room. The feature of the dressing rooms is the absence of inflammable material of any kind. The door cas ings are of steel, as are the doors, while tables fastened to the walls are of sheet steel. In case of fire in any dressing-room it wula be possible to isolate it by closing the doors. An asbestos curtain weighing 1200 pounds hangs behind the house curtain, and during performances the stage is completely cut off from tho audience by closing fire doors of modern make. For many years prior to 1908 Port land playhouse patrons had endeavored to obtain the attractions of the Or pheum circuit. Many difficulties seemed to block their coming. The Northwest field was regarded as experimental, and the conservative Eastern managers were hesitating. Finally Sullivan & Considine leased the old Marquam INTERIOR VIEWS OF HANDSOME X 4 1 "i Grand, then the leading theater of Port land, and Introduced the first Orpheum bill August 17. 190S. .It is a coincidence that the leading act of that bill. Miss Fremont Benton, will play her return Portland engagement at the Orpheum the second week that the new show house is oper. The Orpheum remained at its first lo cation until November 21. 1912, when the collapse of the old Marquam build ing, where now stands the Northwest ern Bank building, forced it to close its doors. In rapid succession it then occu pied the Bungalow, tilnce wrecked; the Baker. at Eleventh and Morrison fs , - f, v v I j ill 1 " iff ' . nP KliZ. l-t L"iTlH 4 I A I r . jss-- Hi I " "v I it $ 1 J a v" Wf- n JiSSiP: v CHAT AND GOSSIP OF PLAYS A WAR correspondent assures us that "lots of actors are fighting all right."

The company will be domiciled at the Auditorium The ater, which is also the road attraction house of Spokane, and the stock com pany and road shows will alternate, the stock company giving way to the road shows whenever they are booked. The idea is a new one in the annals of Northwestern stock productions, and is the idea of Charles W. Tork, a form er Portland boy. who was wfth Calvin Heilig and George Baker before taking up managerial reins for John Cort. Cora Belle Bonnie, who opened the Baker season in Portland this year, will head the Spokane companv, and Lynn Overman, will be leading man. Helen Travers, also of the Portland Players at the beginning of this sea son, will play in the company as, too, will Harry Frazer, one of the Juvenile men known to Portland. John Sumner and Klizabetfi Ross, who were mem bers of the Baker Stock Company two years ago. - are found in the Spokane roster. The Spokane company will open the season in "Alias Jimmy Valen tine." At ne time George Baker, who will be general director of the Spo kane company, had hoped to take Mayo Methot. of Portland, to Spokane to play in the opening production but Mayo's mother objected to taking her from school.. Raymond Wells, who won a large and enthusiastic following in Portland last year with the Baker company, is mak ing a hit this season with the Khubert Players in Minneapolis. Mr. Wells was out of the cast for a week and the management had several requests that he reappear which Mr. Wells did as soon as he recovered from a severe cold. - ' " Rehearsals ,of Edgar SelPyn's new comedy, "Rolling Stones," to be pro VAUDEVILLE THEATER THAT aJB.i.u.n XiVXXt&Ci IrlAJN ALrXj-K. OF CIRCUIT. streets, and January 6. 1913, the Or pheum took possession of the Heilig Theater, at Taylor- street and Broad way. In Julyf 1914, the Blodgctt Company obtained the prof erty at Broadway and Stark street, then occupied by the Pub lic Library, announced its intention of constructing a theater to play road shows, and began the construction of a building. The location was ideal for vaudeville, and after the death of the lessee of the property. Mr. Considine entered ngotlations for it. Actual pos sssion will be taken tonight. The Orpheum has brought some of EDITKO BY LEOKK CASS BAEE. duced by Selwyn & Co. have begun. The play is based on an incident in the author's life at a time 'when he was penniless in Chicago and before he ac quired the touring car habit. Janet Dunbar is to have the leading role. Others in the cast are Harrison Ford. Charles Ruggles, Leonard Hollis ter, Harry Bradley, Ivan F. Simpson, Clairborne Foster and Frances Clarke. This, from a Detroit paper of Friday. will be of interest to Eugene Walter's irienos, or whom he has a lot in Port land. He used to work on a Seattle paper. Miss Mary Frances Isom, of the Portland Library," is Mr. Walter's cousin: "With a nurse and physician in con stant attendance, Eugene Walter the dramatist, has been confined to his bed at the Hotel Pontchartrain since an early hour Saturday morning. His ill ness, according to those who are caring for him, is the result of the severe grind of constant rehearsals of a new play in Chicago. Mr. Walter came to detroit from Chicago with the manager or Charlotte Walkers company. The latter could not be located today. "No announcement of his arrival was made to any of Mr. Walter's many De troit friends, several of whom worked with him when he was a newspaper man here. Not even at the' Detroit Opera-House, where the latest Walter production; "The Better Way," has an early booking, was anything known of his being in Detroit. . ' Inquiry of the nurse, who was sum "Lmoned to attend Mr. Walter, brought the information that he was verv rast less and that to keep him quiet he had been kept under the influence of bro mides all day." Editorially the New York Morning Telegraph says that in a theatrical sense London's loss is likely to be Chi cago's gain. Which would suggest that maybe in a few years the Pacific Coast will not be so far removed from pro ducing centers of the drama. The com ment is that: "If Charles Frohman has his way and that suggests no remote contingency many of the plays which were intended for original London pro duction may make their first appear ances in Chicago. It has always been London that has witnessed the most important premiers and, under normal conditions, it always would be London that would have these first views'; but theatricals are at a standstill in Eng land, and the 'Nothing Doing' sign might as well be emblazoned over'Lon don were It not for fear of hostile di rigibles. At any rate, the fact would not be more apparent than now it is. '"There must, however, to conform to the ideas of Mr. Frohman and other theatrical authorities, be some large and populous "trying-out" station for a new play, previous to its New Tork presentation, and the selection of Chi cago for such a purpose would be no mean compliment to that metropolis, for this 'trying-out' bears no resem blance to the one-night first offerings at tank towns. "It is desired that audiences, large, representative and critical, such as were to be had heretofore in London, see, hear, consider and pass upon a play ere it be brought to the great the atrical center of the world, and if Mr. Frohman makes arrangements that are satisfactory to him, and Chicago be se lected for the purpose named, that mu nicipality may congratulate itself not only upon the high compliment it is WILL BE OPENED TONIGHT AND i : ft! the greatest artlBts of file stage to Portland. John W. Considine. North west manager for the Orpheum circuit. declares that such a policy will be con tinued. "The . Orpheum has a reputation to sustain in Portland, as it has in every omer city it serves," said Mr. Consl dine, who. will be in attendance at the opening tonight- "We have always in tended Portland to have the best play houses that money could procure, the cleverest acts to be found by our book ing agents, who are constantly scour ing the world, and to mako our offer ings clean." AND PLAYERS paid, but upon the intrinsic value that will accrue to it by reason of its estab lishment as the producing city." Speaking of "Peg o' My Heart." when that play was in Montreal last season. T. Daniel Frawley, general stage di rector for Oliver Morosco. had with him a manuscript of the play. He left it !n a dresslng-rocmi one night and it disappeared. Handbills, mailed to the Morosco office from Teeswater, Canada, have lately been received and they an nounce that "Peg o' My Heart" "will play Teeswater one night only." Re ports from other small Canadian towns indicate that a traveling company, backed by a play "pirate," is present ing the Manners comedy. Mr. Frawley believes that the manu script was stolen and that this copy was used in preparing the company for its season. There is no way to stop the presentation of " Peg" in Canada by this troupe or any other, since the United States copyright laws are not effective In the Dominion. Numerous attempts have been made to get a working agreement between the United States and Canada in regard to copyrights on plays, but no satisfac tory results have ever been obtained. "Within the Law" was played in Van couver, Canada, without the sanction of Arcltie feelwyn and he has no redress. It was the Pacific Coast "Within the Law" company that fared badly in the instance when the play was pirated and presented in Vancouver. The traveling company arrived in the Canadian town prepared to stay three days wiiU Its play, only to find that an enterprising siock company had presented the play at popular prices, so-called. Just the week before. So they folded their tents, etc., line tne Arabs and went o to .the next village, maddest because there is absolutely no redress for such piracy. - YOGA MEETING ANNOUNCED Rev. r. O.

RANGE OF METHOD WIDE Various Aspects of Portland and Oregon Represented In Pictures, Many Shown First Time, In Exhibit at Art Museum. BY LILIAN TINGLE. Portland has reason to be proud of the accomplishment of an Oregon artist, Henry Wentz. who, after""sev eral years on the staff of the Portland Art School, has recently gone .to New York, leaving behind hini a most in teresting exhibition of his collected paintings, now on view at the Museum of Art. While the collection is both large and varied, representing many sides -of his temperament, a considerable range of subject and an even wider range of technical method, it shows only a small part or the work of this strong and in dividual artist. A number of the paintings have been seen in Portland already, and are now specially lent by their owners for this exhibition, but most of them are re cently painted and have not been shown before.

The dairy industry is growing faster in Polk County than any other Indus try, -ine creameries of the county, lo cated at Monmouth and Independence. have an annual combined output valued at about 4. 000.000.

AT THE MOVIE THEATERS (Continued From ' Page 4.) - is remarkable, but to attain it took much time and expense. It was done by the simple expedient or chartering a circus, ring, tent. horses, elephants, performers and all for an entire week. For six days, vari ous of the scenes requiring circus paraphernalia and scenery were re hearsed and filmed. On the last day the chartered circus gave a free per formance for the town people. Thus the realism of the particular scene in side or the big top" was made possible. Although "The Circus Man" is a full performance of four acts by itself, additional good measure is heaped' up with an educational film. "India's De fenders of the British Kmpire." show ing native troops from India ready to go to the front, and "When Their Brides Gut Mixed," a comedy. 'ARISTOCRACY' AT PEOPLES PI 10 top lay by Branson Howard to Feature Bill Today. "Aristocracy," a four-act photo-play version of the original drama of the same' name by Bronson Howard, will be the feature of the new bill begin ning today at the Peoples Theater, West Park street near Washington. It will run the entire week. This is unother in the list of repro ductions of famous plays in the Para mount Picture series that is appearing athe Peoples Theater. "Aristocracy" is the story of a social climber. An heiress to millions, the only daughter of a newly rich American family mar ries a nobleman for his title to satisfy her own social ambitious and those of her parents. Her happiness is sacri ficed ruthlessly to her longing for social prestige. What happens in this drama of high society will interest every woman. Bronson Howard wrote "Aristocracy" for a purpose. In it he has exposed with relentless vigor the superficiality and emptiness of ultra-fashionable so ciety. He has made the lesson all the more emphatic by contrasting the wild social ambition of this girl to the scorn wlthwhlch she is viewed by another really prominent family. Produced by the Famous Players Film Company with the noted star. Tyrone Power, as the nobleman who weds the girl for her money, the drama has lost none of the effectiveness which made it a startling hit in New York for several seasons. The unusually strong supporting cast includes such favorites as Marguerite Skirvin. as, the heiress. Kdna Mayo and Arthur Hoops. A small fortune was expended on the gowns of the women to give added realism to the scenes of society life. , Besides "Aristocracy," tho bill will Include a Rex comedy drama called "A I Traffic in Babes." a strong film and the fctrand War pictures,- showing actual views taken on the fighting line of the wax in Knftt- Sunset Realty Co. now located in the New Orpheum Building-, will soon offer a new tract for sale and development, located at Warren ton, Oregon, on a broad plan that will assist the homebuilder and the manu facturer with a payroll.
