She baa climbed high on tha lad der of luocesa In a short time; and her hand la already outstretched to grasp the few rounds that are yet above her; and she-will surely reach them and atand firmly On the very top.

Mile, de Lussan filled her fourteenth consecutive season In London at Covent Garden last summer and imedlately sailed for America to enter upon her transcontinental tour. The wisdom of -her decision to forsake the opera this year for a concert tuor has already been proven by the demand for bookings all over the country. The more limited .field of grand opera this season, and the great success of the Nor dics tour are some of the rea sons which enabled Mr. Lou don G. Charlton, Mme.

All the people of the cast are given opportunity to show their work lit this production, and it is only fair a say they made tha most orft Streams! peopla could be seen emerging from the Baker Theatre from matlnea this after noon. All bad their faces screwed up to a broad smile, the remnant Of the hearty laughs they had In the inside of the edifice where they were holding down comfortable seats. The popularity of "All the Comforts of t6me" seemed to have Increased with every perform ance. Judging by the Increased crowds which wended their way into this the tre every night. The last "perfortnanoa of "All the Comforts of Homo" will be given tonight, when It will give place to "The Great Diamond Robbery." A pow erful melodrama, pathetic, wltll a vein of humor running through' It, tlon of Mr. David Traltel. The part is one that calls for the sudden changes of mood of a heartless flirt Who hag queened It over men and women so long that he is not satisfied to allow a single one freedom from her thrall. She had known only the husks of love until Lord Strath more (Alexander Frank), voluntarily re linquished a career and a future full of the moxt brillliuit prospects for love of her. One man. Major Krroll (Rogers Barker), refused to fall at hr feet and because of his loyalty to his friend, Lady Vavasour. throuKh lying and de celt, caused him to he the victim of a duel with Lord Strathmure. . The revelation that tshe had no right to the name of Lady Vuvasour, the dis covery of her treachery by Lord Strath more, her repudiation by him, and her ultimate return, after 10 years of suffer ing and shame, in order to prevent his marriage to the daughter or the man he killed, and the giving up of that re venge because of the sweet sympathy expressed by the Innocent girl, Lucille (Jane Carew); are scenes which call for the strongest of emotional acting. Miss Treacott does not seem to act: she IS Lady Vavasour. Her wonderful cm lie. that lights the sudden transitions of mood; her expressive eyes, lhat U-ll more .plainly than words the passion of lpVe or hate that surges through her, nre evidences of nor power over men. The defiance, the terror at the prospect pany which has been making Portland famous in the theatrical world, will ap pear In "The Great Diamond Robbery' commencing tomorrow afternoon at The Baker Theatre. The Baker Stock Com pany has been amusing the rortland public long enough to Impress It with the fact that any play aelected by this company is a guarantee of its excel lence. "The Great Diamond Robbery" will be no exception. The play will be magnificently staged and true to nature. This melodrama will be both instructive and entertaining. - It will show that man kind cannot be Judged from the outside. It will prove to the unsophisticated that confidence must fiot be, put Into a per son on first meeting. The fame of Its authors Edward M. Alfrlend and A..C. Wheeler, is sufficient evidence that It its first class in every way; the fact that It will be performed In The Baker Theatre Is sufficient proof that It is above the average melodrama; that the members of Tha Baker Stock Company will participate in It proves that the characters n tne cast win be truthfully portrayed. The most complete, satisfactory and worthy success secured by any attrac tion In this city for the past few weeks has been attained by The Baker Stock Company In Its production of "All the Comforts of Home," at The Baker. The seating and much of the standing room of The Baker Theatre has been tested Washington's Birthday Matinee. . Cordray'a Theatre patrons will have the pleasure next week, starting with matinee tomorrow, of witnessing a new play with a character actor who Is pro nounced Inimitable In his particular line. The play Is "The Man From Sweden," the latest from the pen of Charles New man, author of many recent successes, among which may be mentioned, "Ru dolph and Adolph,1' "Mr. -Jolly, of Jol-, let," "A Son of Rest." etc., etc., and the actor Is Knute Kr'lckson, who Is de clared to be the best of all Swedish dialect comedians by the 'numerous crit ics who have seen hltn. 'The Man From Sweden" Is a com edy drama with a combination of scenes and Incidents which furnish a powerful story. The play Is abundantly supplied with good clever comedy and the heart interest Is Introduced by the love of Frank Marsden for Miss Alice Jeffer son, whom she has cast out of her life, n' raramou relief sent ' By "'"Morris Doane. a bitter rival for her hand, causes a misunderstanding and for seven years prior to the opening scene Maraden has been a wanderer on the face of the earth, all his ambition has taken fllffht. but when he learns that, after a atormy interview with Doane. Mr. Jefferson learns of Doane's villainy and after hearing her confession that she still loves him. he once more tries to regain his standing among men with the ulti mate view of claiming her hand. His trials are many and his p'atli a hard one, but be triumphs In the end. It Is but an Incident In every day life and Is told In a manner which holds the at tention of the audience until the final curtain. "The comedy element Is fur nished by Mr. Eilikson. who athe fun-loving Swede, Carl Anderson, bears an Important part In the working out of the story. The play abounds with lifelike characters who tend to Infuse that naturalness whlrh comedy dramas seldom, If ever, offer. The most notable of these characters Is that of Chu Bam, a Chinese cook, whose rendltlpn of coqn songs In the Chinese dialect Is a nov elty which has never before been pre sented. Vaudeville numbers are Intro duced during the action of the play, one by the Novelty Comedy Four, being pleasing, and one by Mr.. Erickson, bearing the approval of the music halls of England and the Continent. The play Is for all week, with a special ladles' and children's matinee Saturday. lovers' Lane "Lovers' Lane," James A. highly successful drama, will shortly ut the Marquam Grand Brady's be seen Theatre.

Without a doubt one of the nut pleasing announcements the patrons of the Murquam Grand Theatre could hear would be tne early appearance of Nance O'Neill in a splendid repertoire of her latest successes, which Is now made by the management of that theatre.

One of the most picturesque spots In the State of New York is that neigh borhood that embraces the Catsklll Mountains immortalized by Washing ton lrvlng's tale of itip Van Winkle. lun Sully, the actor, has an extensive farm right In the heart of these famous old mountains In Mink Hollow, Clster County. Ills new play, "The Old Mill Stream," Is laid at his own home, and every char acter that appears on the stage Is taken from real life. The actor's furm extends auoui a muu uuu a nan uiong ine uanKS of a beautiful river that is the Joy of the sportsman who enjoys angling for the speckled beauties that have made the stream famous. The water is used for milling purposes about a half mile below Mr. Sully's home. The damming up of the water with this object In view was the moans of starting considerable litigation between the owner of the mill and the farmers along the banks of whose grounds the river ran. This fur nished Mr. 8ully with the idea for the new play, "The Old Mill Stream," that will be produced for the first time at the Murquam Grand Theatre next Wed nesday and Thursday nights, February 25 and 26. It has been said that "truth Is stranger than fiction," and In .this case the axiom Is verified. The plot of the play Involving, as it does, three fumllies, Is culled from real life. Every incident in this play Is taken direct from the book of actual fact. The drama tells three distinct love stories that vitally concern the destlny of three families whose names are Inseparable from the history of Ulster County, New York State. It Is In three nets, and the central character played by Mr. Sully, Is that of a blg-natured Irishman, who combines the duty of postmaster. Jus tice of the peace, country storekeeper, philosopher and general adviser to the community. He's a sort pf an Irish "David Harum," minus the money-lending qualities of that gentleman. The character Is said to fit Mr. Sully's quaint style of acting like- a glove. The character Is the embodiment of human nature. Wars and smiles. All the other actors of the company fcave ports suited to their abilities. They rehearsed the play up at Mr. Sully's farm last summer where they had a chance to study the characters they were engaged fo. por tray,, so that the public may be assured of a performance that is true to life in every particular., The advance sale of, seats will be placed on salo next Mon day morning at lu o clock. uam CAU,yiJN HGILIQ, Monnffer.
