Reed, -who gave aitlmlrable perform
ances to many empty seats at an In
dianapolis theater, said: "It's all the
fault of the New York managers.
They have killed the goose with the
golden egg; there's no use denying
it and they've got to realize It and
admit It. People are tired of the
managers' old tricks.
"They sent out inferior plays and
players so long that now, when first
class attractions are traveling, too
few people are willing to take the
managers' word for them. It is the
manager-producer who has failed to
see the handwriting on the wall.
Now he's going to have no end of
trouble winning people back to the
theater and keeping open his thea
ters on the road."
A musical comedy, "The Marcus
Show of 1921," is coming to the Hei
lig November 3, 4 and 5 and' In the
week to follow we are to have the
sensational and gorgeous "Aphro

The fact that A. H. Marcus with each
succeeding season, despite bad times
or rumors thereof, excels his previous
efforts no doubt has much to do with
the pererlnial popularity of the favor

The Marcus show of 1921 is almost
twice the size of that of last season.
The quality of the cast, the pulchri

the production are all above and be

the part of Julie Benolt, the French
heroine. All the players will be cast
in interesting roles. L.ora Kogers

parts of the cutie twins will be por
trayed by the vivacious Mayo Methot

This piece was presented at the
Hellig last season by a road com
pany and Mr. Gilbert of the Baker
players has not left out the musical
specialties which enhance the pro

Miss Tl'.ton and her large company
present "A Chameleon Revue," which,
as the title suggests. Is a colorful,
rapid-change, vivacious act. This act
is the first big girl act of the Orphe
um season. The added attraction of
the new show is Bob Hall, who
makes rhymes about anything and
everything. This show will close Its
Portland engagement with the mati
nee Wednesday.
Juanita Hansen, a Portland girl
who has won considerable fame as a
star in serial productions on the
screen, will be the head-line attrac

An innovation is offered by Will
Morrissey, the International entertain
er, who will act as "master of cere
monies" on the new bill. Instead of
Mr. Morrissey doing his regular act.
he works with every act on the bill,
introducing the actors and adding
comedy to each. It Is said Mr. Mor
rissey's origination has received much
commendation all over the Pantages
circuit.

HEILIG HILLS MARCIS SHOW
Favorite Extravaganza Will Pay
Annual Visit to Portland.
The Marcus show of 1921 will pay its
annual visit to the Heilig theater for
three days, beginning Thursday, with
a matinee Saturday. No attraction

than- Is this popular harlequinade, the show, la unique.
'APHRODITE" DIE AT HEILIG
Romance of Ancient Egypt to He
Shown for Three Days.
"Aphrpdite," a romance of ancient
Egypt, presented on a scale of great
magnificence by F. itay Comstock
and Morris Gest, with a cast of 300
people, promises to be the sensation
of the year when ft comes to the
Heilig theater for three days, begin
ning Thursday, November 10, with a
matinee on Saturday.
"Aphrodite" is a gorgeous and bril
liant staging on a massive scale of
one of the most celebrated romances
known to modern fiction. The orig
inal etory by Pierre Louys, a French
man, was a sensation. Various ver
sions, in English, much subdued, have
been printed for private circulation,
but the story remained chiefly in
libraries until Tierre Frondaie made
the dramatic version which was such
a sensation in Paris that Mary Gar
den afterwards appeared in it in
grand opera. Then George C. Hazle
ton was engaged by Morris Gest, who
bought the American rights, to adapt
the play for the American stage. It
was produced last December in New
York and was the biggest theatrical
sensation known in a generation. Now
the original company and mammoth
production consisting of ' ten stage
pictures of gorgeous splendor will be
brought here intact.
REAL GIRL SHOW AT ORPHEUM
Bill Opening This Afternoon Head
lined by Corinne Tilton.
The first real girl show of the Or
pheum season will open at the Heilig
this afternoon. It is a bill that
sparkles with beautiful singing and
dancing maidens led by the star, Co
rinne Tilton, "the chatterbox doll," in
"A Chameleon Revue," which was a
sensational success in its premiere on
Broadway. The added attraction of
the new show Is Bob Hall, "the ex
temporaneous chap." This show will
close its Portland engagement with
the afternoon performance next
Wednesday.
Corinne Tilton, headliner, was born
in San Francisco. After shining in
tf'eatricals in her native city she left
for New Y ork four years ago and now
she has achieved the triumphant suc
cess of seeing her name in big type
at the head of a big-time vaudeville
show. Miss Tilton's vehicle, "A Cha
meleon R.vue," is a gorgeous affair,
an animated background for the di
minutive and charming star. As the
title suggests, there are colors and
changes in quick succession and the
supply Is not limited. Throughout
this vivacious act Miss Tilton is all
over the place, just like the sun on a
bright summer day, and she Is helped
in the entertainment by a clever com
pany, including Benny and Western,
George Phelps, Violet Follis and a
group of girl friends.
Bob Hall, the added attraction of

Comedy prevails in this show.
TREAT ASSURED IX "BUDDIES"
Play at Baker This Week Declared
Exceptional One.,
A marvelously merry p&ek i-nto the
Brittany that has been made famous
in fiction and in art for centuries is
vouchsafed to Baker theater patrons
this week In "Buddies." that splendid
George V. Hobart dramatic treat
which comes to Portland with the
assurance that it 19 one of the big
gest hits of the present decade.
"Buddies" Involves a squad of
American doughboys billeted in Brit
tany awaiting orders to return home.
But that is absolutely the. only way
in which the delightful play touches
on war days. It has no military tone
and no military theme whatever.
"Buddies" is based on two love af
fairs, a bashful lover, an impostor and
a Yankee lad who is willing to as
sume an obligation In order to .help
out a friend. It is crowded, from cur
tain to curtain, with Infectious fun
and Ls a remarkably well-drawn pic
ture of the intimate life of the lads
over there after they had discarded
the business of warfare.
The happy little play, with three
stirring acts of quaint comedy, pro
vides for Marjorie Foster and Selmar
Jackson roles as appealing as any
they have had this season. Jackson
appears as "Sonny." a character so
spontaneously youthfiat, so refreshing
in general appeal as to provide a
great piece of work for Jackson to
do. Miss Foster will be seen as Julie,
a lovable Breton maid with a queer
little accent and a fund of fine humor.
A peculiarly evil type of villain
has been prepared for the skillful in
terpretation of Leo Llndhard. He is
to enact the part of Alphonse Petti
bois. To Lora Rogers has been given
another Important part and she will
characterize that delightful Breton
mother. Madame Benolt. Other Baker
folk have been cast as follows: Biff.
Irving Kennedy; Buddy, William Lee;
Abie, Guy Kibbee; Johnny, John Seif
fert: Rube. Lawrence Keating; Babe.
Rankin MansfieLd; orderly, Donald
Robertson; Marie, Mayo Methot;
Babette. Virginia Richmond, and
Louise Maltland. Jane Gilroy.
NOVEL COMEDY DRAMA NEXT
"Lombard!, Ltd." to Follow Play
of "Buddies" at Baker.
"Lombard!. Ltd.," highly humorous
and novel comedy drama by Frederick
and1 Fanny Hattoni is coming to the
Baker theater in the hands of the
Baker Stock company next week, fol
lowing the engagement of "Buddies."
The character of Tito Lombard!, vola-H
tile and temperamental Italian, whoee
debts and temptations are many, is i
to be portrayed by Selmar Jackson.
The same role was created and first
presented In Portland'by Leo Carillo.
Especial interest in the production 1 1
Pantages Stages to Reveal Pictur
esque Jungle Scene.
Much more attractive than even her
film likeness Indicates. Juanita Han
sen, star of "The Yellow Arm," "The
Lost City" and other serials, is head
liner on the new bill which Pantages
will offer for the week starting to
morrow matinee. All critics say that
Miss Hansen is far more beautiful in
person than her image on the sliver
screen. She tells the audience how
she screened some of the scenes in
the serial production "The Lost City,"
staged in an African Jungle setting.
The stage reveals a picturesque Jun
gle scene and the star makes her ap
pearance on the stage while swinging
on a rope. and her screens-hat is illus
trated by scenes of the production.
