AKXOUNCEMENT of the Ac tor b'
Fund Fair to bo held In New York
in May, are being Bent out and
publicity asked for the enterprise In all
newspapers. This fair should .elicit
something more than passing Interest,
not only among members of the pro
fession, but in every walk of metro
politan life. The actors' fund Is main
tained by contributions and by box
office receipts from occasional benefits.
Jt Is a worthy charity, and more than
J70.000 is expended annually for the
relief of those who have fallen upon
evil times. Jn the heydey of life, in
their prime, when a fair measure of
prosperity Is asnured, - actors and ac
tresses are the first to respond to calls
of distress. Every great disaster,
every tragedy that touches a com
munity, is followed quickly by benefits
for which members of the profession
volunteer as one person. It may be said.
One-has only to recall the San Fran
cisco earthquake, the Johnstown flood
and. more recently, the suffering In
various parts of war-swept Europe,
and the names of noted managers and
players are at once associated with all
efforts to mitigate the suffering of
those brought low by misfortune.
An Actors' Fund Fair. should prove
to be one of the biggest successes
financially of the year. Under the able
direction of Daniel Frohman. Marc
Klaw and Charles Burnham, it will
be Intelligently organized and, with
the aid of all- branches of the amuse
ment world, public interest will be
stimulated. ,.
The proceeds are to go to the- million-dollar
endowment fund which is
being raised. The affair is to be held
oil rlrand Central Palace on May
12-21. This has little to do with what

UlUl Jact that prtland has al
ready had the play six weeks, although
the last time was six years ago; It -is
a scenic production of importance. The

ly revolves for several minutes before
finally ending up in the Polka Saloon
and Dancehall kept by "the girl" is
something that leaves a lasting im
pression. Although the cast Is a large one there

Oirl and the Squaw, and following out
the general condition of mining town
society in the California days of '49 the
rest consists of a motley collection of
miners, outlaws. Wells-Fargo men
gamblers and hangers-on- of all sorts'
and nationalities. It is a plctuxesque
P ay from beginning to end, and tells a
vlyld tale of real American romance,
set in an atmosphere and day which
many men still living in our midst can
recall from a personal experience - in
early California during the days of the
famous gold rushes.
Those attending .the Baker this week
should .bear in mind that owing to the
length of the pray the evening curtain
will rise promptly at 8 o'clock and on
matinees at 2, and that no one can be
seated during the action of the play
Quite frequently as a rule. In fact
we have to take the press agent's word
for It in the advance announcements
that- ho-and-So is coming to the Or
pheum and is the greatest in her line
ever seen on the American or any other
stage, but this week we do not have to
take anybody's word. We simply delve
into the recollection of a vear ago
Iorothy Jardon is the star of the Or
pheum show opening at the" Heilig this
afternoon. "When Uorothy was here last
season she scored one of the really big
hits of the year and in looking back she
is remembered with Lillian Russell and
one or two more Orpheum stars who set
the town talking and created lines to
the boxofflce.
Dorothy Jardon is a double star of
the highest magnitude and when it is
said that she lias "a charminsr nor.
tonality" that bromldic description can
oe taken literally. Once upon a time
someone Inquired of a group of stage
ihands who was the most popular "sin
gle woman star in big-time vaudeville
and stage manager, grips, electricians,
flymen, the property man, assistant
property man and. stage door man re
plied "Dorothy Jardon." So, I take it.
jjoroiny Jaraon may oe safely set down
in linotype as the most beloved "single"
woman in the two-a-day realm.
Henry Hitt and Harrison Fisher, the
famous artists, stood right up in pub
lic and declared that Dorothy Jardon
is one or the ten most -beautiful women
in the world. They did not list the
other nine, but whoever they are they
will have to hurry to beat Dorothy.
Dorothy was not known here when she
visited Portland last year, but Port
land audiences paid her the tribute
which they give only to their. pets, that
is they applauded .iu?t as soon as the
curtain rose and disclosed Dorolby in
all her beauteous Japanesey array.
Personally I am quite mad about her.
Unlike most-stage beauties Dorothy
Jardon has- ability that almost sur
passes her appearance Hhe has brains
and Individuality, and while she is one
of the handsomest women behind the
footlights she is one of the very few
musical comedy favorites with a voice
of grand opera timbre. Two grand
opera impresarios In New York said She
was an ideal "Carmen" and In trying to
induce her to slng'the opera declared
her success In that role would undoubt
edly equal that of Calve. Her first bid
for fame was made in "Madame Sherry"
and it was in that production that New
York just opened its arms and em
braced Dorothy as Its very own. Then
she was made star at the New York
Winter Garden and the all-seeing Mar
tin Beck held out an alluring contract
and won her for the Orpheum circuit.
Dorothy' was the first star this season,
say the theatrical journals, who was of
fered a rise in pay to make a return
trip to the Far West. All of this being
the case, it looks as If the crowds who
were attracted by the Orpheum last
week with the "Greater Morgan Danc
ers" and the road show ensemble, may
call again to see Dorothy. And, as was
said in the beginning, you do not have
to take my word or anybody's word for
lt-
Dorothv Jardon has builded her own
niche in Portland.
Bob Fitssimmons, assisted by Ills
young son. Bob, Jr., is to headline Pan
tages' new bill in a boxing act. An
added attraction is that of "Mr. Chaser,"
a big musical comedy with a cast of
terf people presented by . Herman
Becker.
At the Hippodrome the Aeroplane
Girls, with atrio of attractive girls per
forming daring stunts in midair, tops

quartet, la another attraction on this
bill. -
THE BLl'E PARADISE" COMING
Musical Comedy to Appear at Ilelllg
March 1 and 2 .
At the Heilig Theater, Broadway at
Taylor, Thursday and Friday, March 1
and 2, will be tne Shubert production
of "The Blue Paradise," a musical
comedy, in a prologue and two acts,
which has been Americanized by Ed
gar Smith from the original Austrian
book by Leo Stein. The play takes its
title from an inn of the same name,
supposed to be located in Vienna, and,
although there are American charac
ters In the operetta, all the scenes are
laid in the Austrian capital. The story
deals with the son of a wealthy Aus
trian, Rudolph Stoeger. who is over
fond of conviviality and a constant vis
itor at the Blue Paradise Inn, where
he has fallen in love with Mizzi, a
flower girl at that resort. Rudolph's
father -decides that a change of scene
will be well for him and sends him to
America to make his fortune. This is
the prologue. The action of the play
itself begins 24 years later, when Ru
dolph returns to the scenes of his
youth, after having accomplished his
mission in America, only to find that
everything has changed and that the
little flower girl, who had promised to
be true to him, is now the wife of one
of his boon companions. Rudloph, how
ever, does not allow this to weigh too
heavily on him, and he turns to the
widow of his late partner in America,
who has followed him all the Way from
Chicago, and the curtain falls as she
promises to marry him. .
'GIRIi OP GOLDEN WEST" IS ON
Baker rlay Laid in California In
Gold Rush Days Is Dreamy.
For 'two weeks or more mail orders
have been pouring into Baker Theater
box office from all parts of Oregon
for seats for the widely advertised Be
lasco production of "The Girl of the
Golden West" by the Alcazar Players.
This is one play that has never been
produced In Oregon outside of Portland,
although it is a pretty safe wager that
every man and woman in the small
cities has heard of It and longed for an
opportunity to see it. It has one of
the longest records for local produc
tion also, having been seen here alto
gether seven weeks before this season,
but interest in it seems to be on the
Increase rather than otherwise.
The secret of all this triumphant suc
cess lies in the scenic beauty, romance
and dramatic power of the play, which
deals with life in a small mining town
of California in the days of '49-'50. Its
action centers about "the girl," who
keeps a saloon and dancehall at Cloudy
Mountain, a sweet. innocent girl,
despite her wild surroundings and lack
of culture. She longs for something
and .her soul tells her that there Js
something higher and better for her
somewhere outside. But she ia the idol
of "the boys."
Jack Ranee, the Sheriff, has no sam
ples in his attachment for her, and
when Ramerres, the road agent, comes
along in the guise of Mr. Johnson, of
Sacramento, and the girl is evidently
attracted by him. Ranee becomes in
sanely jealous. The scene shifts from
the saloon to the girl's cabin up the
mountain, later to her "school room,"
where she teaches the boys, and at the
end shows a glorious sunrise in the
Sierras, where these two, man and
woman, have joined lives and are say
ing "good-bye" to their California.
It is all so beautiful, dreamy'and ro
mantic that Its play on the emotions
is irresistible. A wonderful scenic pro.
duction is promised, with an immense
cast in which Ruth Gates will play the
Girl, Albert McGovern will play Ramer
rea and George Taylor the Sheriff. pe-

clal note should be taken of the fact
that the curtain will rise promptly at
8 evenings and 2 matinees, and that
no one can be seated while it is up.
DOROTHY JARDON AT ORPHEUM
Artists Pick Her as One of World's
Ten Slost Beauttrul Women.
Dorothy Jardon, who vwas selected
by Henry Hutt and Harrison Fisher,
famous artists, as one of the world's
10 most beautiful women, is the star
of the Orpheum show which will begin
a four days' engagement at the Heilig
Theater this afternoon. Miss Jardon
scored a distinct triumph In her first
vaudeville tour last season and she is
the first Orpheum headliner to win a
return engagement to the Far West
at a big' increase in salary. ,
Miss Jardon not only is a beauty, but
a singer of note, fine is regarded as
Rata Server, Musician at Stra
Theater.
being one of the few musical comedy
stars wnose voice is ot grand opera
timbre, and New York impresarios an
nounced that her "Carmen" equals that
of the illustrious Calve.
Miss Jardon made her first big hit
in New York as a feature in "Madame
Sherry and thereafter she was made
star of -the New York Winter Garden,
where she repeated the triumph that
had placed her name in electric lights
for the first time. She fashions her
own vaudeville act and pays such great
attention to detail that her stage set
ting is magnificent and the lighting
effects are as well timed and as well
blended as those 'of a road production,
She is accompanied by her own pianist,
who, for this tour, is Jerry Jamagin,
who plays a medley during one of Miss
Jardon s costume changes.

the Orpheum 'orchestra will play "The
Long. Log Trail" as the exit number
after the show.
Newspaper critics all along the Or
pheum circuit have been lavish in
praise of Miss Jardon
beauty, her voice
and her costumes.
So great has been the applause won
by the star that her success this sea
son looms as sensational.
The extra attraction of the show is
the act offered by Florenz Tempest and
Marion Sunshine, who call their enter
tainment "A Broadway Bouquet,"
which consists mainly of popular songs.
Tempest and Sunshine are sisters, from
Louisville. Ky. v They appeared here
at the old Orpheum in the Marquam
Grand several years ago and the hit
they made then is still bright la the
annals of the Portland Orpheum.
The next big type act is that of Ed
Flanagan and Neely Edwards, who will
present their vaudeville classic called
"Off and On." This act shows the rou
tine of a Bong and dance duo and the
action includes a rehearsal and a per
formance. Each is a clever comedian
and the act is punctuated with laughs.
Old-timers known the world over are
next. They are Fred Hallen and Mol
lie Fuller, who bave been before the
show-going public for the past 23
years. Their new Orpheum act is
called "The Cbrrldor of Time." It is
a satire on fame, in which thev recall
old times in song and story before a
curtain upon which the playbills of
25 years ago are depicted. Fred Hal
len is the Hallen of the old-time nart.
nership, Hallen and Hart. In the early
days he was eo-star in "Later On,"
"The Idea." "The First Prize Models"
ana other successes of the late '70s and
the early '80s. Miss Fuller is the
Mollle Fuller who was a great favor
ite in the days of our fathers in E. E.
Rice's "Evangeline."
Remaining acts are Corbett. Shepard
and Donovan, three boys who sing;
Maria Lo and company of seven girls,
presenting "porcelain" reproductions of
the world's most famous pieces of
Dresden and china ware; Witt and Win
ter, a pair of aces; the Orpheum Travel
Weekly and the Orpheum concert or
chestra, under the leadership of Georg
E. Jeffery. .
FITZSIMMONS At PANTAGES
6on t .Great Pugilist With His
Father ou Stase.
We bave with us this week, friends',
"Ruby Robert," that grand old man of
the ring, Mr Robert Fitzsimmons, and.
standing right there at his side, Mr.
Pantages begs to introduce Ruby Rob
ert Fitzsimmons, Jr., son of Bob, which
is a way of saying that also he is a
son of battle and every inch the actor
that his father is. (Cheers.) It goes
without saying, of course, that Fitz
simmons, sire and son, head the New
Pantages bill. They have been heading
it all over the circuit, and it has been
an ovation. Everybody has had a wel
come from the heart for one of the
most courageous and two-fistedest
lads that ever stepped through the
ropes, and for the bright little chap
who is all ways a chip off the old
block. That Portland, which gave the
ring that other grand little gladiator.
Jack Dempsey, will have a reception
for the big fellow is written in the
guarantee.
And right on Ruby Robert's heels is
"Mr. Chaser." with girls and girls and
all kinds of fun. "Mr. Chaser" is an
other of those big Pantages musical
comedy tabloids dancing, singing and
right clever "getoffs," with net enough
plot to wad an airgun. "Mr. Chaser"
quite lives up to his title, and that he
has a fine discrimination is evidenced
by the quality of the chorus.
Joe Chong Haw and dainty little
Yuen Moey, "The Chinese Castles," of
f " another sensation. They are a
dapper rair. of Celestials, and their
dancing is almost, if not quite, that
way. Celestial la rishu The act Is
'-
beautifully dressed, and so is little
Moey, who, .figured by either the Oc
cident ial or Oriental standard, is just
one little beauty.
Sol and Leslie Berns show in "The
Train Announcer," which is a hodge
podge of patter, mostly Yiddish.
Anthony and Mack. In the Italian
and the politician, put over a line of
c-lwer dialect, much fun and some
pathos. The show carries the second
episode of the new biz serial, "The
Secret Kingdom."
HIPPODROME ACTS ALL BIG
Aeroplane Girls Promise Distinctly
Novel Peats.

The aeroplane girls, who sail high In
the air and ' accomplish many thrilling
aerial feats, have a distinct novelty in
the amusement world. They are dainty
misses, splendidly costumed, with an
exhibition that is both entertaining
and mysterious. The. act will be a
highly popular one with "Hip" audi
ences. The Metropole Four, a male quartet
billed as "Kings of Harmony," have an
act that is both dignified and popular.
They are heard in a repestoire of
catchy, popular selections and there is
a vim and dash about their singing
that is irresistible. All will like this
quartet.
"An Inside Job" Is the title of the
comedy dramatic playlet that registers
a decided hit. Belle Barchus & Co.
present this sketfch. which includes
elements of - comedy, pathos and
mystery. The cast Is able and the story
is sufficient to hold the closest atten

he renders is truly wonderful.

Form Divine." assisted by her com
pany, offer, clever and unusual dancing,

time. Miss 'Selbinl has a' delightful
personality that wins.

Of the artistic worth -of this en
gagement there is every Indication
that, it will equal, if Indeed it dMi not
in many respects, surpass, the Boston
National triumph here last year on the
occasion of its first appearance in Port
land. The fact that Managing Di
rector Rablnoff this season has added
a number of new and famous singers
and greatly augmented the chorus and
orchestra would seem to insure an even
greater , treat for.. Portland music
patrons.
In addition to presenting' individual
stars, it is Mr. Rabinoff's purpose to
present grand .opera in- which prin
cipals and chorus, scenic embellish
ments and lighting "novelties are
merged into one perfect ensemble.
Realism in scenery, as in dramatic in
terpretation. Is said to be the foremost
Rabinoff idea, and in consequence we
shall again witness both artistic
actuality and productions massive and
beautiful.

"Bine Envelope" Billed for .Next
Week to Make Folks Laugh.
Following' "The Girl of the Golden
West." the Alcazar Players will be .
seen la "The Blue Envelope," a broad
and breezy farce, which enjoyed a
long run at the Cort Theater in New
Tork last season. Few genuine farces
have been seen here in stock recently. :
plays that have absolutely no serious
purpose in life. Intended only to pro
duce laughs, and the change should be
a welcome one for a week.
It is fast' and furious, and it ia writ
ten around a couple of chaps who get
into the power of an adventuress, a
clinging vine blonde. A certain- blue
envelope which contains incriminating
evidence against them figures prom
inently In the plot, which' leads to a
rest sanitarium, and mixes the charac
ters up In a manner so ludicrous as to
be a perfect scream from start to finish.
The trouble with most people used to
attending serious plays Is that they try
to take farces seriously, and thereby
miss all the genuine harmless fun. If
they go to see a Fatty Arbuckle' film
they know just what they are going to
see and get in the mood for It. If tliey
tried to take it seriously, however, the
experience would be positively painful
to them, and it is the same way if they
try to take a broad, rattling farce like
"The Blue Envelope" seriously.
It's fun. pure and 'simple.
