14 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1003. ft,';, .a '..' J- , -.. i Mid-summer beauty of nature can no where b better told than In a clime where cool breaths chase swny torrid sufferings and mock the nun, and where at nlrbttlrae. slumber la kissed Into peaceful sees by a contented air. A hundred blessings, for the gift of the Willamette and Columbia River Valleys, nnd a hundred more for the joy of liv ing In them. It'a a trite saying that "when one can sleep one can eat." It followa that when man. woaaan or child can lie down to pleasant dreams In the months of July, August or September, thon al can they, with comfort, endure their wakeful koura o matter where they may be a pent The playhouses of Portland are not forg-otten by the dispenser of lovely climate, and within them there la no torture from oppressive heat In the East. South nnd Middle West hardly a theatre la open. Audiences will not tnke chance of sweltering. In Portland during the laat week there has been en' Joyment In witnessing dramntlo features. At the Baker "East Lynne" has caused many tears, and a great moral domestic leaeon haa been mingled with them. Beats full from pit to dome has been the record of the popular house and tho patrons who hare made up the vaat number have applauded the clevereet stock company that ever mined local at tentlon. And the Baker people are about to leave some of them. At leaat the theatre cloaca tonight and "bad ceaa" to It fnr doing it ao aoon. It'a nice and ; cool, thee summer evenlnga, along the Columbia, and why not go on with the shows? r At Cord ray and Russell's a world of .things are going on behind locked doors. .The paint brush Is aplatterlng from cellar to garret and the colors In the palntpota are light and gold. The up holsterer la alao at work and. before the end. the tnck. tack, tack of the carpet layer will be heard. A newneee will ba over the face of things when the owners are through doling out their dollars. At the vaudeville homes It la nip and tuck for eupretnacy ao far aa merit of the attractions is concerned. Indoor . beauty and wholesomeneee la the record -at the Empire. At Shield's Park there Is brightness and contentment where wlhtal. Two vaudeville entertalnmenta ( with but a alngle thought on the mana ger's part which is to make hie the moat popular. It is ft delicate aubject. a-entlo men, and I prefer to let others than my self say where the greateat favor Ilea. At the Marouam. it need not be told ' that to announce a show these latter daya of the season means a flowing house. Take last night when the "Clr- ; cus Girl" meandered her way into the run appreciation of that big audience. It was a pleasing event which will prob acy, db repealed tonight. Item: Next week Monday, Dick Jose laugning, singing Dick will appear at the Marouam with his capable minstrel W. A. D. Close at The Baker. There are still a few seats left for the last performance of "East Lynne" at the Baker Theatre tonight. With the fall of the curtain the Baker-Stock Com .pany will have bid farewell to Port land for some time, and the theatre will be closed for extensive alterations and repairs. The multitude of friends of this clean organlzatiou and popular playhouse evidently intend that a bumper house shall form the public's side of the good-bye. good' graces of a crowded house at the Msrquam Theatre last n'.glit. At many polnta of the game It was circus day on the stage and circus day in the body of the house.' The audience laughed about nlne-tentha of the time and dur ing the other tenth were thinking about It. There is only one thing to aay which la that there was big fun and good cheer for nearly three hours at Mr. Helllg's house last night. "The Circus Qlrt" is- better than her sister, "Tba Rupaway Oirl," insomuch that there art more unuaual situations presented. It cannot tie said that the music Is better, but it is just as enter taining and juat as popular, John Slavln is a very capable Biggs, the American bartender, and It can be said with truth that In comparison with Arthur Dunne, who became ao popular In thla line of comedy work, the former gentleman doea not lose. Mr. Slavln Is natural and. with the exception of a few Instancea, hta reading of the humorous parts Is very capable work. The In stances referred to are those where the writer of the play tries to be funny and robs Mr. Slavln of his originality. So large Is the company carried by the management of thla excellent show that it would be impossible to speak of all the peraona mixed up in the amuse ment scheme. It can be said, however, that It ia eurprlsing how msny good people have been assembled In the lead ing parte. A few of the ladles In the play are extremely acceptable from whatever viewpoint they may bo taken. There Is Mlsa Isobel Mall, the "Circus Girl." She la most of the time a dream In very short skirts and black. Miss Marie Doro as "Dora Memyss," . Is about sa pretty a personage as has been seen on a local stage for many a day, and so Is little Luclle. the slack-wire walker, taken by Miss Violet Vale. It can not be Imagined how a more ttractlve entertainment could be gotten together. One of the best pieces of scenlo work arranged for any production Is that of the events displayed while the clrcua Is going on. During the progress of this work Mr. Slavln and the "Ter- MADCrB WXX.US. Old BUI at Envplre. Only three performances of tho pres ent bill at the Empire Theatre remain to be given this evening's, tomorrow's matinee and evening performances. These will be the laat opportunities to see those gymnastic jokers, the Broth ers Budd; the last chances to hear th great bass songs of Arthur Hahn, the Australian singer, and the last chances to see Mexlas and Mexlaa, the clown and his dog. The comedy work of De- vaney and Allen, and the flaming mui-I iini aragon qi jeipnino ana Dei mora are specially attractive features of the program. Hew BUI at the Bmplre. Beginning on Monday night Julr IS. the Empire Theatre will present an entirely new program, which la guar anteed to drive carping care away from the merry throngs who nightly patron ize this fashionable playhouse. The management has booked for the com ing seven days a number of attractive features, chief among which la the mln- strel Uaro of Mclntyre and Primrose: 4 Both these names are famous in the world of mirth and melody. Mr. Mc Intyre is a brother of Jim Mclntyre. who, as senior partner of the team of Mclntyre and Heath, posted the firm name on the topmost pinnacle of min strel fame. Primrose would be ashamed to wear such a famous name If he was unable to do it credit. A tramp who can Juggle with the best of them, and a soubrette who really can dan-e, compose the' team of Christy and Willis, who are guaranteed to hold the audience for a while. Hayward and Hay ward are a 'novelty team, of whose work tho advance notices speak very hiKhly. In the front rqnk of vaudeville per formers is Marsh Cratg-, the marvelous equilibrist This gentleman can bal ance anything and some of his feats would make cijrar store Indian dizzy. Conroy and Pearl, another team of ebony Jokesmlths, fill the audience full of tflOfl. No "tramp" act on the stage today enjoys n higher reputation than, that of Joint World, of the team of World and Kingston. Assisted by his snappy part ner,, World played the Empire some weeks aro' and has been booked again to appear with Miss Kingston In an entirely new act, which is fully equal to the sketch which mode tho team so popular' on Its last appearance. The. flame-breathing dragon and sen sational electrical effects of the musical grotesques, Delphlno and Delmora, will appear on the Empire stag for another week, while Devaney andAllen, the watermelon comedians and black bur lesquers. hnve also been retained, for another w-ck. w The performance will conclude with a new aeries of pictures shown on" the bioscope.

These men found a Virgin field wherein rioted humor, tragedy and romance and they made them theirs. Who will give to the reading world the strength and weakness, the pathos and tragedy, the humor that is everywhere apparent around us here In the Northwest? They are to be found among; the fisher folk who Wrestle with the selnee out In the deep; the lumbermen whose hearts grow sturdy from contact with the pines and firs of the mountains; In the Isolated farma and ranches of up land and valley; the mining districts; even the dwellers In the scows along our. river banks. Around them all la thej atmosphere of the Northwest; the odor of her forests; the breath of her Ocean winds; the glorious local color ing that Is irresistible even to those who are not a part of It.
