A STORY of the Ozarks, a. quaint,
pretty story with a mission and
a message, is "The Shepherd of
the Hills," that comes to the HeHtg
toniglit. It comes, too, at popular
prices so-called - popular because It
puts the price of admission within the
reach of a lot of folk who can't so to
the theater when high prices prevail.
The story is from the pen of that pro
lific writer of home-folk talcs, Harold
JK-11 Wright, ana he has been aided In
the dramatization by Klsbery W. Rey
nolds. The engagement Is for four
nights and a matinee.
Maude Powell iollown this encase
ment with a concert on Thursday night,
at the Hoiliyr. Miss Powell is one of
the greatest violinists, and is held in
most affectionate remembrance by those
who huve been fortunate enough to
hear her. It is conceded by authori
ties in violin musio that there are
only one or two men violinists who
in virtuosity equal her as a violin
star. Miss Powell's forthcoming; con
cert promises to be one of , the bis
musical treats of the season.
Another bis: event musically is the
apnearunce of Oabrilowitsch, pianist,
and Madame Clara. Clemens Gabrilo
witsch. contralto, who appear in con
cert on Friday nli-'ht at the Heiligr.
On Saturday niKht. January 22, San-t-nelli,
psychic exponent, will give a
lecture and demonstration of the sci
ence at the Heilig; in which all delvers
in the occult are manifesting much interest.
"The Fird of Paradise" is to be here
the week of January 33, with Carlotta
Monterey, a California actress. In the
role of the picturesque and pathetic
little figure of Juanu, the Hawaiian
maid, played formerly by Lcnore Cl
rich. On January 30 for a week's engage
ment VYalker Whiteside returns in
-The Typhoon."
"The Butterfly on the Wheel" a dra
matic story of a famous divorce case,
goes on the boards at the Baker The
ater today at a matinee.
This is its second presentation in
Portland. The occasion of its first visit
to us was three years ago at the Heilig.
ince then it Mis appeared iifc Eng
land and has lately been released for
ftock. Its story is of divorce in the
Kncrtish courts, and the butterfly is a
little spendthrift wife who gets caught
In a web of circumstantial evidence.
The subject of divorce Is treated far
more seriously In England, and for
that matter in every other country, than
in the Cnited States, .and the "wheel"
In the story depicts the mental tor
ture attendant on the case of this poor
little butterfly who finds herself the
defendant in an English, divorce suit.
This play affords unusually good op
portunities for Winifred Bryson. the
new leading woman, as the butterfly
wife, and Edward C. Woodruff as the
husband.
William Rock, a real favorite here, I
chines as star over at the Orpheum
tiiow. Mr. Rock has a new partner.
Frances White, who was with him in
"The Candy Shop." and who also was
popular in an important role in "So
Lone, Letty.;' Maude Fulton, formerly
of Itock and Fulton, one of the greatest
duos in vaudeville, is eugaged in play
writing in Los Angeles, Oliver Morosco
having accepted a three-act play sub
mitted by her recently.
Miss White, the versatile Rock's new
partner, is vivacious, youthful and
pretty. The extra attraction at the
Orpheum is Frank Fogarty. "The Dub
lin Minstrel," who return? after an ab
sence of several years. Fogarty has
a style all his own in story-telling,
lie was last here with Alice Lloyd's
road show in vaudeville.
Another Fogarty tops the Empress
bill. This one is an old-timo cake
walking expert and with his company
of six he presents his "191J Dancing
Keview." Featured on the bill is Mile.
Techow and her troupe' of trained cats.

liohn's presentations in musical come
dy, "The Fashion Girls." featuring
pretty maids and a team of comedians,
Harry WatJon and Jere Delaney. Bob
Albright, with Cliff Carney at the pi
ano, is another number that will please
at this theater.

liant fashion. He is a natural wit- His
talk sparkles with humor and especial
ly fine are his stories of Celtic folk
lore and character paintings, v
Two other funsters are Eddie Cantor
and Al Lee, both Broadway graduates,
who will entertain with bright dia
logue, tuneful songs and .lively danc
ing. Of this duo a New York critic
said: "Cantor and Lee bill themselves
simply as comedians and they are en
titled to use tne greatly misused terra.
They make un 'and show they are real
comedianr by winning laughs with
every bit of it."--
A novelty in the new show is of
fered by Billy Bouncer, celebrated
English clown, who has a bouncing
contest open to all athletically inclined
young men in the audience.. After vol
unteers come upon . the stage Billy
Bouncer gives them the first lesson.
It loo'ks simple to the boys and the
audience at first, but the antics of the
competitors on - the canvas bouncing
bed prove that the simplest bouncing
requires skill. -..
"The entire act is away from the
usual routine- of athletic acts," said a
Seattle critic, "and contains not only
a novel display of skill and dexterity
as dead. The son had visited the hills
some years before, when he fell in love
with a simple country girl. He painted
her picture, and when he went back to
the city, deserting the girl, Jte earned
fame because of the canvas. The girl,
deserted and heart-broken, dies, leav
ing behind her a half-witted son.
It Is to the home of this dead and
wronged girl that the father of the
artist comes, and here lie is employed
to watch the sheep. He grows to love
the country and Its people, and he and
the half-witted boy, Pete, become
friends. Then there is a love tory run
ning through the play that adds to its
attractiveness. It is the love of a young
giant of the hills for "Sammy Lane,"
a girl of unusual qualities.
There are several characters whose
quaint humor is a decided novelty.
Taken as a whole, the play promises to
prove a refreshing chanfte from the
general run of dramatic attractions. this
season.
Messrs. Gaskill and MacVitty, the
producers, are said to have given the
play an elaborate mounting, the'moun
tains of the Osarks affording an oppor
tunity for some fine examples of the
scenic painter's art. The cast has been
selected for their peculiar fitness for
each type.

Xo leading woman since Izetta Jewel

Winifred Bryson. who has Just finished
her first week with the company. Her
aunearance in the complex role of
Peprgy Admaston in "A Butterfly on the
Wheel." which starts its run this aft
ernoon, doubtless will be looked for
ward to with more than ordinary in
terest. The play itself, dealing with a sen
sational Enplish divorce case, carries
not only a gripping and unusually In

may well serve as a startling warning
to many women who, because of loneli

The scenes of the play are laid among
the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. It
is a story of the hills and the simple
life, yet it has plenty of excitement
and an air of mystery that will hold
the auditor from beginning to end.
The story has to do with the father
of an artist, who. tired of city life,
goes into the Oxarks for -peace and

chain of circumstantial evidence that
came so near engulfing Peggy Ad
maston in the play.
The third act shows the grim English
divorce court in session, with this fair
young creature, whose only crime had
been what is considered by most peo
ple of advanced ideas that of a bit
of harmless flirtation, when her hus
band gave all of his time to affairs of
state, on the torture wheel of public
prosecution. Every little thing she had
done twisted and turned against her,
colored and exaggerated until after a
game fight against the odds she falls
in a dead and hopeless faint.
To be consistent the play might have
ended here, but in order to vindicate
her and to give everything a happy
ending her innocence comes out later
and a reconciliation is effected. Ed

will be seen in strong acting roles.

Fainoud Da ne'er and Comedian to
Head .Today's Sew Bill.
William .Rock, famous the' world
over not only as a .dancer but as a
comedian, fills star place in the new
show opening at the Orpheum this
afternoon. Mr. Rock now is accom
panied in vaudeville by Miss Francis
v bite, bis old-time partner, Maude
Fulton, having left the footlights for
literary work in Los Angeles. Miss
White appeared with Mr. Rock here in
"The Candy Shop," at the Heilig The
ater several months ago, and her suc
cess in that production led to her se
lection for stardom with Rock in vaude
ville. '
Mr. Rock is a great favorite in the
two-a-day field as well as musical com
edy and farce. It was In vaudeville
that he first gained recognition as a
finished all-round performer, particu
larly as an. excellent dancer and light
comedian. Musical comedy makes fre
quent claims on him, but vaudeville has
never lost sight of him or the duo.
Rock and Fulton, of which he was the
first part. Musical comedy lovers will
recall this duo particularly in "The
Candy Shop."
Francis White, Mr. Rock's new part
ner, not only scored triumphant suc
cess in "The Candy Shop." but alBO was
a hit in the "So Long, Letty," company.
Miss White is declared by critics to be
well worthy of taking Miss Fulton's
place on the stage.
Frank Fogarty, "The Dublin Min
strel." is the extra attraction of the
new Orpheum show. 'Mr. Fogarty de-;
parts from the. beaten path in lnono-j
but uncovers - a -veritable volcano of
comedy."
"Knight and Day," a comedy playlet,
will be the offering of John R. Gor
don and company. The sketch has to,
do with the woes of men named Knight
and Day. Mr. Gordon is a recruit from
the legitimate stage. He has played In
several prominent legitimate organiza
tions, but is known best as a stock
actor. - His supporting company in
cludes C. H. McKlnney, whoso football
playing with the University of Pitts
burg attracted great attention,
"Another novelty Is the act of Van
and Belle, boomerang- throwers. They
were featured in the public scene with
"America." a giant production- which
had a long run at the New York Hip
podrome. Van and Belle have made
a life study of the boomerang and its
uses and they are so expert they seem
to be able to make the strange missiles
obey their every wish. They have in
vented many different kinds of boom
erangs and some of them are carved
to represent birds. Van reproduces the
calls and cries of birds and animals,
while th -bird-like boomerangs fly
through the air. ,
