Saturday afternoon and night, June 2b and 27, In Justin Huntly McCarthy's now celebrated drama, "If I Were King." Mr. 8othern In any play Is always wel come, but In a play that has been uni versally recognised as the best that the American stage has seen In the past five vcars, his appearance becomes a remarkable event. The central figure In If I Were King" and the role which Mr. -Sothern assumes is that of the fifteenth century vagabond poet, Frnn- coia Villon. First Villon Is shown In rags and tatters, reciting his verses In the Fir Cone Tavern and ready to whip out his sword at the slightest provoca tion. Louis XI of France happens to be in the tavern In disguise at the time, to overhear what his subjects have to say about him. Ha hears Villon recite his poem "If Villon V ere the King of France." When Villon wounds the Crand Constable of France In a duel. Louis causes the turbulent poet tn be dressed In the elothes of his oppo nent and for a week he gives Villon an opportunity to show what he would do If Villon were King of France or what amounts to practically the same thliag Grand Constable. What Villon does In the way of winning the love of one of the noblest and most beautiful ladies of the court and hardly escapes the hang man's noose with which Louis proposes to end his career, Is charmingly and In terestingly told In the play. AS In every thing that Mr. Sothern does, the play Is richly and artistically mounted, 100 supernumeraries being used to augment the 32 speaking parts. "Arabtejn Wights." The infatuation of a 'chorus girl for Mr. Arthur Hummlngtop, her sr rlval at his residence at a most un timely moment, and his vigorous and futile efforts to explain her presence there furnish the main plot for "Arabian Nights," the comedy which will be pre sented by the Baker Stock Company at the Baker Theatre for the week begin ning next Sunday, June 28. "Arabian Nights," when produced at Augustln Daly's Theatre, in New York, proved to be one of his greatest successes, and it had a phenomenal run of many months ln the metropolis. It Is one of the few comedies that have not only brilliant dialogue, but clever situations as well. As comedy has always been one of the strong points of the Baker Theatre Company, Portland's theatre-goers are assured of a fine presentation of this farce. The Umpire. The bill offered by the Empire Theatre at the corner of Twelfth and Morrison streets, was presented again last night to a large audience. Continuous ap plause, was ln evidence from the time the curtain rose until It descended upon the last of the great Little Red Riding Hood films shown by the bioscope. Les ter and Curtain, in their unusually strong acrobatic work, divide the hon ors with the top-liners of this week's bill. World and Kingston. World is a comedian of no mean order, and with Miss Mlndell Kingston was for some time a feature of the Town Topics Com pany. Andrews and Thompson, tne op eratic duo, have rnade a success with their cultivated rendition of Irish melo dies. The Wells Bros, do a musical act that is different. Their turn Is supple mented by first-class comedy work. which sho.vi8 that their performance is entitled to all the praise which It has elicited from the critics. Mntlnee this afternoon.
