'Am Um theatrical ton draws to I eloM-tbar is bo abatement in the qual Itr of tha entertainments allotted to ltrUan(L althouah In auanUty, attrac tions are becoming; lax. ' This referred aJone to the Marqunm Grand.' for the other houses are running full time and the box office men are earning their pay. - A ft fixture, or fixtures rather, there are two wtJch occupy the thoughts of Hay patrons now-a-days. Ralph Stuart holds the center of the stage at the Baker Theatre, and .vaudavUle turns jump la and off the boards at Cofdray'a. While Mr. Btuart and Mr. Shields will remain to be discussed later on. it Is court eoas to treat the strangers within eur gates as bead-Una re, and let It be aid that. Our New Minister," at pres nt teaching the golden rule at the , JJaxqu&m Qrand, has a good call for the position. - It la difficult to recall a wore pleasing '' entertainment than that given Thursday and. last night at the Marquam. It will be repeated tonight, and It Is safe to ay that a regret will be registered by those who overlooked the chance to ' listen to a company who are artists, nearly every one of them. Here is a f leseon:-,.vVhat do yon " 66, Obadtan Blurton, when a hungry maa.aaka you ' for a bite to eat?" asks Curt Huxton, who la shy on belief. "1 pray for hlra.. . says the sanctified Obadlah. "When Tin hungry and a fellow would offer mo oold potato and a prayer, I'd take the Cold potato, " retorts Huxton. , That Is one Instance of the character of "Our New Minister" as a play. But it Is filled with pleasantries of the highest ' order, and deals not alone with rural folk and their eccentricities. Ralph Stuart Ss going to buy property In Portland, so it is said, as a sort of an anchorage. Oo over to the Baker Theatre any night and watch the crowds.' Bom people say that It's Mr. Stuart, others say it Is his company, a schooled by his management, stilt others " voice the sentiment that the carefulness with which the plays are selected Is the causa of the success. Be It as It may, Stuart is clever, his company is capable and his repertoire is of excellent qual ity. "By Right of Sword" this week has been a bell-ringer, and it la prom ised that The-Maater-at-Armn." the bill commencing tomorrow matinee, will i nt kb up-aiage -'attraction. Liet Ralph Stuart buy a house and lot in Portland, and his admirers will always be enough la the majority to turn out and treat the box office in a manner that will Insure the keeping the wolf from his door. , la the development ot the character, and the result Is a most decided suc aeas. ' ' Those who have seen Stuart in a round of characters find it difficult to express a preference for anyone to well does he play whatever he undertakes. But the calm dignity, the settled gloom of the Abbe Busonl scene, and the plotureaque dress of the Count In tho last act, his repressed passion, his Jmplaeable pur pose of revenge, .give Mr. -Stuart oppor tunities to display the reserve, the re pose and grace which he possesses to a notable degree and which come only with long experience and study. The Stuart company la well provided with material for good work in this play. Frank Carad, the handsome young leading man of the Stuart company, had scored a pronounoed hit In the part of Nortler, while Mlsa MaeOregor shows to wonderful advantage. . ( The fclama Is Coming.

Place the Jhtad on sn ass atid a cheep noti mine or yours) side by side, and any head you have a mind to put be tween the two wlll resemble the Llama. The Llama IS great on expectoration. A single drop of Us spittle will burn a hole through a cast-Iron confidence quicker than a hot poker will penetrate a snow-bank. The neck of the Llama la longer than a search warrant. Home or tnem strive hard to be a camel, but they can't exactly come It, ...Their ordinary stature Is from 4 feet vw a high- as you like- depending on how high up their native mountain they happen to be. In walkt lng they hold their heads up with the gravity and. dignity of an alderman in public parade-, and their pace ia as regular and solemn as geese marching to water. Who shall not admire tho Llama -for Ita sober steadiness? Their common food is kind of grass called yeko by the Peruvians and heaveho by the sallore. which covers the mountains "all over like a blanket," fta Santa Anna said of sleep. They eat scarcely anything and drtnk Teas. Their flesh Is as palatable as that of the fat sheep la Castile, and there are publlo shambles for the sale of It In many -parts of Peru, where the animal has long preferred to hold Its residence. When It Isn't found It .Isn't sold. At such times one can hear the Peruvian bark a mile away, and lie goes out and tries to start a new revolution.

Now oomeS the continuous vaudeville how over at Cordray's Ed Shields promised that he would give high-class people a place on the program. He has made good, and Until people see some thing better they will continue to crowd that bouse. There have been turns done t Cordrays this week that have not been excelled on any local stage, and that Is a .fact While continuous vaude ville was an experiment In a way, the experimental stage 1b over. Mr. Shields States that the institution has come to stay, and he is believed. Somewhere to go every afternoon Is a new feature In tho theatrical business, and there are thousands who say let it continue. ' "The Master at Arms." ' Starting with a matinee tomorrow, the third week of Ralph Stuart's season at The Baker Theatre will be devoted to the presentation of "The Master at , Arms,' A romantic comedy which Is a version of Don Corson de Bozan, written especially for Mr. Stuart by Myron Lef fingwell. ; The adventurea of this pic turesque ' gallant and cavelier have 'formed, the theme of many plays and stories and is one of the most fascinat- ' ing characters known to the stage. Mr. Stuart is admirably fitted by-nature and accomplishment for the impersonation of the romantic, the chivalrous and the courageous hero and in "The Master at Arms'"' has an excellent opportunity to display these equalities. Few actors on the stage today can handle a sword or swing the encircling cloak with the daz- xllng grace imparted fo the act by this -. handsome young actor, and his clear, sympathetic voice gives added value to lines of tenderness and love. i A special production, complete and lavish, la given to the play, and the sup port . rendered the star by his capable company is all that could be desired. Mlsa Helen MaeOregor has made a dis tinct hit as the beautiful Montana. Mary Home has a most agreeable part la Princess Martam, while Virginia Bris coe and Marsraret Maya as Inez and Paqulta, respectively, are seen to ex- ,' cellent advantage. Frank Camp, Priestly Morrison. CliarTs Imsley, Reginald Travers and Kdward Poland have also congenial pm-ts and their work is thoroughly enjoyed. ..- "Sif Caff Alley." A combination of farce comedy, musi cal comedy,- pantomime- trick ' comedy and spectacle is "Zlg'Zag Alley," the new skit 1 whIQh Zeb and Zarrow, The Great McXwea. Much interest has been aroused in the announcement that McEwcn, the Scot tish magician and hypnotlHt, will hold the boards at the Marqunm Qrand all next week, giving a performance each evening and a matinee on Saturday af ternoon, assisted by Newton Smith, the great solo cornetlst. MoEwen's work ss a hypnotist Is well known here, ss he filled a previous en gagement with great success. His work In this line has long since stamped him as one of the greatest demonstrators of modern hypnotism before the public. Unlike many others in this profession, McEwen makes no mystery of hypno tism. He disclaims absolute personal power, and declares that were It not for mental submission of his subjects he would be unable to control them. This complete absence of pretense and the antics that, often accompany It 1 one of the strong contributing features to the success of sicEwen's entertainments. His subjects are chosen from among his audiences and are not paid profession als. As a whole his hypnotic work Is of a class which la calculated to go far toward . removing whatever lingering doubts or objection may remain in the public mind as to the propriety and use fulness of hypnotism. In his work as a magician McEwcn is fully as proficient as in hypnotism, and pres comments everywhere are to the effect that he is a worthy successor to Hermann, the Great, who tiled some two years ago. When a mere chUd McEwen began the practice of magic, traveling with his uncle, who was known as the Wlsard of the North, throughout the whole of Scotland and England. Some of McEwen'i tricks are entirely new here, and he gives to the old familiar ones the stamp of his own unique lndl vlduallty, and performs them rn a way as novel as surprising and entertaining. Newton Smith, the cornetlst, who ac oompanles McEwen on his tour this sea son, was formerly with Sousa's Band and the great Marine Band of Washing. ton, D. C, and with these organisations signified that the two husbands, prlof to thelt respective marriages, have paid amorous attention to a' young woman, neither of . them being aware of .th courtship of the other. This young woman appears after they are married, when the proceedings of tho husbands, tho wives and the young woman are all at cross purposes. ' Unexpected meet ings, clumsy evasions, and preposterous lies are mixed up in a disk of hopeless confusion with much resultant hilarity on the part of the audience. There Is an abundance of comlo situations and on airy disdain for probability which Is the very life of a laughable farce and the little thread of tho risque running through the plot A hearty reception hs been given the production. Rehearsals sre under way for the pro duction of , "Tha Runaways" at the Casino under the Susplces of Messrs. Sam 8. Shubert and Nixon & Zimmer man. It Is a musical comedy, gor geously arranged and will bo one of the most ambitious undertakings yet pre sented on Broadway. Having achieved the musical eomtdr success of a score of years in "A. Chinese Honeymoon" these enterprising and energetlo mana gers are determined their new venture shall show Itself to be superior In the number of players, In lavlshnesa as to costuming snd scenle. effects and In the number of pronounced song hits. In cluding the sugmented orchestra, the managers will have 110 players snd arti sans to fittingly offer their newest at traction to theatre-goers at the cosy and comfortable Casino. nta omzAT Mowr, nrrmorurs.

To felay "Monte Cristo." v The fourth ek of Ralph Stuart's engagement at the Baker Theatre will be devoted to th presentation of "Monte Cristo," This play has been compared bv schol ars arid experts in dramatic literature with th greatest plays ever submitted to the public in the matter of skillful construction and sustained interest. There are hundreds of .plays that sur pass It in literary merit and historical value, but It is claimed that no known drama of this or any other period Is so succinctly, so graphically fashioned. James CNell has said that the part of Edmund Dantes was one in which it was Impossible, to become indifferent or mechanical, as it presented new oppor tunities, new possibilities at overy per formancethe passions portrayed are so many, and so varied.

The Mar tellee are Portland young people and It was only a few years ago that they were running about as a little girl sid boy. They began riding the blcy.de down gt Fred Merrill's, and.lt Is said that he taught them their first fancy work. They grew to bo artists, and were taken to Chicago, where they grew Into won ders at the art. From the windy elty they appeared in New Tork and gave exhibitions at Harry Miner's for sev eral months. Then they went to Eu rope and remained throe years In Eng land and on tho . Continent Returning to this country ' they remained with Keith In New Tork for several months and then resolved to visit their friends and relatives In Portland; it was then that Mr, Shields signed them for a tour of his olrcuit, whloh will consume about 16 weeks of their time. Borne clever work do these young people do. Emma Martelle rides about the stange stand ing upright on the head of Harry Mar telle. This act has never been accom plished by a female rider before.

Sir Richard Blverton. the little knight, believes the patrimonial estate has boon stolen from him and the Allms in their finished musical work. These two, Oeorge and Sophia, do not play freak Instruments, but are first-class artist on many instruments. Sophie Allyns plays the eornet perfectly and has no superior among women OS this particular instrument George Allyns is a virtuoso on the saxophone and is classed among the very best Another act of value Is of Raymond Mariitt who essays the mysterious act He has many specialties whloh he says no other person has attempted to re produce. One Is his "fishing trip." He throws a common fishing line out ovar the audience and there becomes attached to 'the hook a live gold fish. The Ber nards In their Irish comedy sketches are classed as first in their business. They do a dialogue stunt which is said to be very clever. They are lately front Keith's snd bring flattering testimonials. Kit" Wilson will bo one of the prim entertainers beginning tomorrow, and has' for his work black-face monologue talks and fancy buck and wing dancing. Hanvey and Doane will repeat their Illustrated songs during the coming week and by request will render tho Sloly City" at each performance. Tho polyscope pictures will be entirely new beginning tomorrow. .Matinees will bo given each day during the week and children under 8 years of age, accom panied by an elder person, will be ad mitted free except Saturdays and Sun days, y; it purposes to establish his claim to it with tho Sword.

Then there are Jocktes, bookmakers, touts, stable boys, - soldiers, heathen. courtiers, dancing girls, sailors, pages, heralds and other galore. "Skipper A Co.. Wall Street" an orig inal comedy by H. J. W. Dam, was pro duced at tho Oarrlck Theatre Monday evening. May 4. with a notable east, headed by Maclyn Arbuckle. Tho play deals with American social and busi ness Hfo, as may bo gathered from the title. There are II speaking "parte, and the scenes are laid In Wall street and Fifth avenue. Mr. Dam has treated, his subject so strongly and In such a digni fied manner, that the play deserves con sideration more ss a representative American play, rather than as a pure comedy offering." The lights and the shadows of Wall street are both shown and there Is a pathetic touch which will be recognised In an instant by all who have ever dealt on Wall Street. Closer acquaintance with that ogre of our youth, "Mr. Blue Beard" only seems to endear him to New Torkers if the overflowing crowds which pack the Knickerbocker Theatre In the -sixteenth week of the presentment of this grand spectacular .production be aay sort of barometer of publlo feeling, fiddle Foy, comedians, appear at the Marquam in the near future. The piece has something of a plot and many funny situations, although it is primarily a trick comedy, und trick scenery is a most important part of its stage equipment." The chOrus Is said to be large enough for musical farce, and the costuming is . 'a feature. The' book is by James Gorman, whose one idea was to produce leat, wholesome fun. Mr. Gorman, who5 has also staged the production, Is , known as a producer Zlg Zag Alley" has vaudeville specialties1 and is filled with-songs.- In one sene a cyelone. coming Up with a suddennKss that amazes the auditor, seizes every thing on the stage and whirls it "round and 'row mi.

The evening houses have been full, and expressions of appreciation havo been heard on every hand. For the week starting with tomorrow's matinee. Mr. Shields has a bill arranged that he says Js superior in quality and o,unntity to the one of' this week.

"Now, what dO you sup pose," he said, "frequently; jplogs up ouf sifter? Why, hairpins! Do,' you know we sell tons of them, snd get quite 'S revenue from them?

Tho extension of tho engagement of "Pretty Peggy" at ths Herald Square Theatre, New Tork, gives fresh Indication of tho remarkable success achieved by Orace Oeorge. Arrangements for this extension have been completed In tho face of such difficulties as to show be yond question ths largeness of ths busi ness being done. As a matter of fact, the Herald Square ia crowded every night by persons who delight in tho girlish art of Miss aeoraa and in tha brilliant stage pictures fashioned by William A. Brady. Tho old morality play, "Everyman,' which has already been presented in New Tork for II weeks, continues Its pros porous career at ths Garden. Few dra matic presentations of the year havo made tha Impression that this quaint old play has made. Messrs. Liebler A Co. present Ears Kendall In "Tho Vinegar Buyer" at tha Savoy Theatre. Being booked for a California tour we shall only be able to enjoy tho presence of this Inimitable fun-maker In New Tork for a limited term. Eira Kendall In "The Vinegar Buyer baa been one of the most pronounced "hits" of the seaaon. He has made money right from the start, and soma weeks his box-office showings have been enormous. He is, confessedly, one of the very funniest men that ever set foot on an American stage. Charles Hawtrey In his delightful comedy, "A Message From' Mars," Is re peating at the Criterion Theatre tho same success that marked his long run at the Oarrlck last season. It Is brimming over with aood na ture and Is genuine comedy without a flaw. The receptions given Mr. Hawtrey at the Criterion are most hearty and scarcely a night passes that he Is not called for a speech after his exceedingly clever work in the second act. During the Criterion engagement matinees are played Wednesday and Saturday. "Nancy Brown" continues to fill the Bijou Theatre nightly snd there are no signs of Marie Cahlll's clever work palling on the New Tork palate. Tha Interjection of fresh songs frequently gives this pleasant piece a perennial freshness so that even those who have seen It once are wooed to the same shrine again to renew their acquaintance with the hypnotic "Nancy." Not in years has a farce-comedy re ceived such universal Indorsement frogg the critics as did "A Kool and Ilia Money," by Oeorge TL Broadhurst, which was produced by Broadhurst and Currle for the first time on any stage, at Madi son Square Theatre, last Tuesday even ing week. It was Just what a Jaded, anxious New Tork publlo wanted, and they ex pressed their pleasure at the filling of that want in no uncertain terms. "Barbara Freltchle" has a revival at the American Theatre this week, being put on In all its glory, and once more the many patrons of that house have an opportunity of witnessing their favor ite play. Earlier in the seaaon "Barbara Freitchle" held the boards at the Amer ican for one- week and scored an Im mense hit, the patrons of the house tben requested that It be continued longer, but owing to other arrangements the management were obliged to take it off, promising to put it on again. The hew and up-to-date sensational and novel drama. "In the Shadow of Night," by Martin A. Bomers, comes to the Third Avenue Theatre for one week, commencing Monday, April 27, wit usual matinees. A grand scenic produo tlon. - Success of all hinds have been achiev ed by the many novelties Introduced on the Keith Circuit but none has scored as strongly as has Culver's Sensational Cycle Loop-t he-loop, which was shown at tho Onion Square Theatre last week; and which has been held over at tha urgent request of thousands. It Is a Sensation that Is sensational.
