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

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

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

has been attained by The Baker Stock

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

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

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

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

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.
