Y working knowledge of Tld-
VI ulsh consisting of a recognition
'-- of only one Word in the en-
tire language, namely, the overworked
and optimistic "lshka blbble," this
brief announcement concerning the
immediate engagement of the Tlddish
players will be made up mostly from
what a Tlddish praise agent tried to
tell me about his show, plus a gem or
two from the press matter. One of
the paragraphs says (I quote ver
batim): "Mr. Morris is a well-reputed New
Tork actor and is claimed by all Jew.
ish managers to be one of the best
Yiddish character actors on the Yid
dish stage, this being positively the
only chance for Portland Yiddish the
ater patronlzers to enjoy real Yid
dish acting of the highest class, as
also is Miss Pearl Winters" imperson
ation of the modern "Eve," giving her
a chance to display her versatility,
dramatic climax character singing
and dancing. All In all Portland will
have a real treat never to be forgotten
by all who will witness this beautiful
performance."
Another line sa. "Mr. Sam Morris
as the modern "Adm" is a perfect ex
ample of Adam up to date."
The engagement opens tonight at
the Heilig and. as mliht be (nfi.rr.rt
the play is "Adam and Eve." The
Vpress agent says it is "moral, beau
I tif ul, instructive and artistic," also
that the actors all speak only in
I Yiddish.
The next play of consequence at ihe
Heilig is Richard Walton Tully's pro-
oucuon 01 -jveep tier Smiling," a
comedy which has enjoyed long runs
in pew York, Boston and Chicago.1
David Miller, an English comedian,
will play the leading male role, with
a list of notables In his support. This
play Is boked for the entire week be
ginning next Sunday, July 18.
Jane Cowl is to be here in about a
month making her first visit to Port
land. Two musical features radically dif
ferent hold the center of attention on
the new programme at Pantages,
commencing with tomorrow's matinee.
"The Footlight Review" Is a Willard
Jarvis production, studded with
clever people, pretty girls, bright lines
and good music, while the special
Teature is "The Heart of Annie Wood."
This is a vaudeville sensation, aptly
described as a musical half-tone, and
relates the story of the good and bad
In the heart of a girl. Diane Bonnar,
soloist, formerly of the Chicago Opera
company, is another feature of the
programme.
TCLLEl' OFFERS SEW COMEDY
"Keep Her Smiling" to Be Present
ed at Heilig July 18.
New productions under the banner
of Richard Walton Tully have been
conspicuously absent for the past
year and for a good reason. During
this period Tully has been in London,
where his perenlally popular "The
Bird of Paradiue" has repeated under
his auspices its great American suc
cess. Not less than three companies
are now playing the piece there, the
numcer one company having been on
the London boards since last fall.
while two others are touring in Great
.Britain, - The uird of Paradise" hav'
ing established itself as the outstand

upon a B"ies of humorous stories by

the Saturday Evening Post. For the
leading part of Henry Mr. Tully has
brought across the water one of Eng
land's most noted comedians, David
Miller, who it seems certain will
duplicate In this country his tremend
ous vogue In England. His latest suc
cess there was as Billy In "Fair and
Warmer," which he played for 14
months in the British metropolis.
His part in "Keep Her Smiling" is
said to be equally well suited to his
personality and clever methods.

By reason of a sudden change in
the routing, the Hippodrome will pre
sent a double headlined bill the fore
part of this week, beginning this
afternoon. This is heralded as a most
pretentious vaudeville bill, inasmuch
as the "Fads and Frolics," the sched

AVID MILLER English come-'
dian, whom Richard Walton
Tully is featuring In the new
comedy of American home life, "Keep
Her Smiling." has for 20 years been a
favorite with London audiences. Last
season he played as Billy in "Fair
and Warmer," where the play was
even a greater success than in the
United States. Just before that he
made a hit in a comedy called "His
Happy Home," which has not yet been
seen on this side of the Atlantic
Miller's first important character
izations were in the companies of
George Edwardes and he created
many leading character parts In such
popular plays as "The Runaway
Girl," "The Messenger Boy," "The
Toreador," "The Geisha Girl," etc

There is a company of ten people.

Not alone is Miss Winnie Wall, the
prima donna, a fine singer, but the
chorus is declared to be fully as
meritorious In this respect as in pret
tlness of face and costumes. Sing
ing, beautiful gowns and dancing are
the features with which this nam;
ber makes its bid for favor.
"The Fortune Teller" is the story
of an innocent countryman, lured
into the crystal gazers den. The fun
consists In the bewilderment of the
old farmer. Oaks draws his laughs
by the quaint humor he draws from
the part and not by burlesqueing it.

they justify it by a series of whirl

"The Footlight Review," Willard
Jarvis' latest musical comedy suc
cess, brings with it clever princi
pals, charming girls, liltsome melodies
and funny lines together with an ex
cellent plot. It Is a striking feature.
The plot is laid in the opera house
of a country town. The staff Is
awaiting the coming of an animal
show, but Instead a burlesque offer

girls and Its "jazz" atmosphere and
the fun starts. There is not a dull
moment and as principal comedians.
George Offerman and Charles Jordan

Heart of Annie Wood." which has been
graphically described as a musical
lftone. The music has been written
by Jack Morris while the book and
lyrics are by Frances Nordstrom.
Diane Bonnar is a soloist of na
tional note. - Miss Bonnar was for
merly soloist with the Chicago Grand
Opera company, and now she Is heard
in her own variety of songs. These
are of the sort that will appeal to
everyone. Miss Bonnar is one of the
best gowned women on the stage.

HOUSE PETERS IS AT CIRCLE
'Silk Husbands and Calico Wives"
Is Based on Novel.
"Silk Husbands and Calico Wives,"
starring House Peters, which is to
be shown at the Circle theater today
and tomorrow, will be highly Inter
esting to local moving picture devo
tees for a number of reasons.
The picture is based on Monte M.
Katterjohn's popular novel of Amer
ican life, a thoroughly and Intensely
modern story dealing with ootn
country and city. No finer or truer
to life picture has ever appeared on
the screen it Is intensely aDsorDing
and timely with a beautiful love story
running through It. The story de
picts vividly the struggles of two
young people making their start in
life fresh from the country. They
are full of the enthusiasm of youth
and are thrilled In their call of the
great city, when the offer comes to
go to New York. What the tumult
of the metropolis makes of them, this
strong man and woman who. In the
midst of all their etruggles to es
tablish themselves have found ro
mance and a great love is the big,
human theme of "Silk Husbands and
Calico Wives." It Is -a story that
reaches down deep in the heart of
every human being, and starts folks
to talking and thinking.
Mr. House Peters, returns to the
screen after an absence of 18 months
on the farther side of the continent
where he appeared In American
made pictures. Mr. Peters has long
been an Idol of the film-loving pub
lic, and his virile, red-blooded type
of character portrayals, and his mag
nificent success in "The Girl of the
Golden West," and "The Great Divlde"
are etill regarded as among the very
best portrayals of screen history.
