BT LEONE CASS BAKR.
TTTlTH the season gently
Vy Its tall around Itself and lying;
dowi to pleasant dreams for the
Summer, there Isn't much to write
about excepting the close of the season.
This is the Baker's last week, and,
while a few shows will follow "The
"Wanderer" Into the Hellls, there aren't
going to be any sensational announce
ments. The appearance of Madame Sarah
Bernhardt at the Orphenm next week
closes that place of amusement for the
Summer. For this week the Orpheum
Is moving up to the Eleventh-Street
Playhouse so that "The Wanderer" can
have the Helllg for the entire week.
The production Is a colossal pageant,
a lavish comics spectacle and a dramatic
triumph. The cast contains the names
of excellencies we admire Nance
O'Neill. for Instance. and James
O'Neill, who Is famous with us for his
"Monte Cristo" and his "Celebrated
Case." He -opened the Hellig Theater
here with Viola Allen In "The White
Sister."
Others of the principals Include
Charles Dalton, Frederick Lewis, Jean
RobertBon, Lionel Braham, Sydney Her
bert. Sydney Mather, Florence Auer, C
H. Faulkner, Olga Newton, Langdon
West. Henry Duggan, Stephen Wright,
Gertrude Davis and Mile. Karminoff,
with a ballet of 90 dancers.
"The Wanderer," which Is said to
make an appeal as wide sweeping as
Ben Hur. opens tonight at the Heillg'
and continues all week. with, matinees
on Wednesday and Saturday.
The Baker brings its season to a
close with another of Eugene Walters'
dramas, "The Wolf," a story of the
Northland.
Although no formal plans have been
announced regarding next season, it is
known that the Baker Stock Company
will be re-established at this popular
home of stock, and with an organiza
tion stronger than ever. Some of the
favorites of the past, with others of
National reputation, who have as yet
never been seen here, -will be in the
roster, and the plays will be late re
leases and big New York successes, all
of which is to be announced later.
The next season will open about
September 1.
In going to the Eleventh-Street Play
house today, the Orpheum's move is
only temporary, as the big-time vaude
ville headquarters will return next
Sunday to the Heilig Theater for the
engagement of Madame Sarah Bern
hardt, who la star of the Orpheum
show which will bring the season to a
close. The Orpheum retains Its box
office on the south side of the Heilig
Theater lobby, where the Madame
Bernhardt seat sale will be held be
ginning this morning.
caran sernnardt. actress supreme.
sculptor, painter, author, dramatist and
patron of the arts! i She Indeed is the
"many-sided" Sarah Bernhardt, and to
this fact almost as much as to any other
single fact the world's greatest actreBS
no doubt owes much of her fame.
When Martin Beck presents Bern
hardt in Orpheum vaudeville at the
Heilig, June 30 to July 3, vaudeville
patrons may Judge for themselves how
carefully the Divine Sarah has pre
served her wonderful personality and
her golden voice through several
decades and right down to today.
The many-sided Bernhardt long ago
achieved the highest niche in the tem
ple of fame as a result of her complete
mastery of the art of make-up. but she
proved herself equally apt at the art of
laying it aside, and in her home, the
how palace of the Avenue de Vllliers
in Paris, Bernhardt entertained hosts
of friends, used hammer and chisel on
her stone creations, painted, modeled
in clay, shaped things in bronze, wrote
dramas, collaborated with other au
thors, wrote novels and verses, encour
aged struggling artists, and still found
time to enjoy the recreative pleasures
all about her, principally fishing, boat
ing, bathing and croquet. "Doing two
things at once" (a thing often to be
condemned) occasionally kept her busy.
but Bernhardt laughingly excused her
self by her explanation that it was i
"pleasure" to hear a "stage-struck'
young girl recite to her while she
worked at sculpture. And Victor Hugo
and Edmund Rostand mfght Chat with
her while she sat painting.
In 1900 Bernhardt received a silver
medal for a piece of sculpture shown at
the Paris salon that year, and many
other decorations were bestowed on her
for her diversified talents,
Maurice Bernhardt, her son, who de
veloped a taste for writing short plays
for his illustrious mother, was helped
by her over many a difficult point, as
she had learned difficult lessons under
a tutorship of and for years associated
with the greatest French dramatists.
The Lyrio will open the week today
In a new travesty in three scenes en
titled "$100,000," in which Dillon and
Franks appear as a couple of pre
tended heirs to a big fortune, which
same fortune finally proves to be noth

plan to fill his theater. The first scene
is a "Ladies' Mlnlsrel Show." and there

Is Stupendous Production.
A play whose popularity with every I
class of theatergoer can. be compared
only with. "Experience" will be pre
sented at the Heilig Theater, Broad
way at Taylor, for seven nights start
ing tonight at 8:15, wfth matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
It is "The Wanderer," and not un
like the modern, morality play, though,
of entirely different construction.
Curiously enough, this new sensa
tion of the theater owes its produc
tion to William Elliott, F. Ray Corn
stock and Morris Oest, the enterprising
young managers who sponsored "Ex
perience, and they are candid in ad
mitting that tbey never expected to
find a successor to "Experience.
The tory of "The Wanderer" is that
of the prodigal son as told in St. Luke,
chapter IB. Its opening and closing
acts show the pastoral home of the
prodigal Bon amidst the beautiful hills
of Hebron in Judea. In the second
act there is much eiaDoration of a
ecene which, shows "The Wanderer"
at the palaoe of the luxurious and un
scrupulous Nadlna in Jerusalem. Rev
els of women who live but for the mo
ment, games of chance that adven
turers conduct for the fleecing of un
sophisticated youth, every Indulgence
of the baser senses combine to make
this scene most - effective. Robbed at
every turn, the prodigal son is desert
The most lavish and sumptuous pro
duction haa been given "The Wan
derer."
'CAMOUFLAGE' IS ORP HETJM TOP
Performances to Be- Staged at Elev
enth-Street Theater This Week.
Owing to rental of the Helllg Theatre
for the entire week for a road attrac
tion the Orpheum rfhow will be pre
sented today. Monday. Tuesday and
Wednesday at the Eleventh-Street
Playhouse. The Orpheum then will re
turn to the Helllg Theater for the
Madame Sarah Bernhardt engagement
June 80 which will be the closing
show of the Orpheum season.
At the Eleventh-Street Playhouse to
morrow night and Tuesday night the
shows have been selected by the Auxil
iary of Company C, 116th Engineers, as
benefit performances. Members of the
auxiliary already have sold a large
number of tickets for the Monday
night show and the sale for Tuesday
night also is big.
Stuart Magulre will sing as an act
of the Orpheum show Monday night in
behalf of the auxiliary, and the band
of the G. M. Standlfer Construction
Corporation at Vancouver and North
Portland has volunteered its services.
The shipyard band will play at promi
ent street corners both nights to as
sist the auxiliary in the sale of tickets.
The Orpheum show chosen by the
auxiliary of Company C for its benefit
performances is extolled as being ex
ceptional. In headline plane is "Cam
ouflage," which is presented for the
ifrst time in major vaudeville by
Henri De Vrles. This is a spectacular
comedy drama, not a war sketch-
showing the interior of a counter
feiter's den in New York. 'It is one of
the big novelties of the season, the en
tire stage setting being changed with
extraordinary rapidity by the use of
revolving apparatus.
The other featured acts are Edwin
Stevens and Tina Marshall, In "The
Birthdays of Dolllver." and Carl Mc-
Cullough. '"The Joy Germ of Vaude
ville." in new footllKht impressions.
Other acts are John Gardner and
