The Baker's new leading lady. Miss

issue. Be ays in effect that Mrs. Carter

critics n -that her acting 1 flat and
tale during the remainder of the week.
He backs tip bis charges by recounting
-crtala visits which ha made en the
otiiet to the playhouse at which she was
bootee. Speaking f Thursday night
performance he says: . .
- "Certainly no wdrse performance by
any able -actress has ever been given
here than that of Thursday night '"Rot
ten" is. not a, nice word, but it is the
only one that will express the quality
of the acting. She poll-parroted through
the lines that she spoke and cut one of
the most significant -scenes in the whole
show to a word or so. . - --
"These play actors should be taught
their places. They live by public favor
and should be made to bow to it, and
It is no uncommon thing for Mrs. Carter
to shirk her moral and artistic respon
sibilities. Even In New York she, gave
only three admirable performances a
week. The rest were cold and lifeless."
.This stinging rebuke no' doubt con
tains much truth, for It is a generally
known fact that great actresses only re
spond to the heights of their emotional
impersonations on several nights out
of a week. Thus Duse only acts five
nights a week, rather than imperil her
reputation by giving a flaccid and un
interesting role during the rest of the

"Way Down East," the card at the
Marquam Grand this week, has already
been here several seasons, but does hot
eem to have outlived its attractions.
The snowstorm is still the aoenlo fea
ture and Anna Moore's departure in the
fclissard draws expressions of sympathy
and fear. As long as Manager Brady
keeps his companies up to the high
standard he has so far achieved, "Way
Down East" can be depended upon to
prevent any deficit In his bank account
Despite a lamentably weak--Introductory
scene, "A Modern Magdalen" grows
on a person. The farther the story ad
vances the more marked the' Improve
ment. -
Jessie Shirley. Is one of the most
popular actresses that ' Visits the medium-priced
houses and she Is always
assured of a warm welcome 'in Port
land. Her characterization Of "Katlnka"
Is a pleasure to even the most exacting.
' She embodies the part with a' personal
charm that 1s rarely met with on the
stage and the announcement that she is
booked for another week will be received
with delight by her hosts of friends
among the play devotees.
It la rare. Indeed, for Cordray's to
house such a uniformly pleasing com
pany of players as Miss Shirley brings
with her, and we owe then gracious
thanks foV the pleasure of a further
acquaintance. Next week's bill. will be

.."At the White Horse Tavern" will be
next week's bill at the Baker and it

theatre-goers who': like pure,' unadulter

There seems no question as to one new

James Nelll opens at Los Angeles in
"Sowing the Wind," tomorrow. Some
of the members of the Nelll-Morosco
company have joined him in the South,
but Miss Kemble has been booked for
the Procter enterprises In New York
City.
"A Chinese Honeymoon" is a. near of
fering at the Marquam-Grand. The pro
duction Is said to be invested with the
same scenery and dress that were used
during Its remarkable long New York
run. The muslo is .bright and catchy,
the comedy spontaneous, and the femi
nine contingent have been picked for
symmetry of figure, beauty and vocal
strength.

" There is a general lowering of prices
in the theatres throughout the East and
in Chicago at present there is not one
II house, as the favored showshops are
described. With two or three exceptions,
the stars of the first magnitude are
now charging $ 1.60 for the best seats
everywhere except on the Paclflo coast
Trust managers continue to charge $2
at their New York houses, hut a read
justment of the scale will soon be In
order. .

The theatre's sphere of usefulness
seems to be widening, judging from
Eastern reports, which tells of s. play
produced by the members of the Balti
more German Lutheran church in place
of the regular sermon. The drama was
entitled "An Orphan."., and was written
by the pastor. Rev. A. F. Sterger, and
dealt with the experiences of an orphan
girl.- Another play, "From the Cradle
tthe Grave,"'-will - follow-on Baster
Sunday. It is a strange coincidence that
the hero should be named Martin Luther.
A commission to undertake a super
vision and general inspection of the lo
cal theatres is the plan put Into execu
tion by City Councilman Bentley. This
follows directly as a result of the ter
rible Chicago fire; where so many people
lost their lives In the burning of the
Iroquois theatre. The conditions - may
not make it seem absolutely necessary
at the present time, but it is certainly
a move in the right direction, for no
doubt there are many timid people who
would be afraid of any theatre since the
Chicago Incident and an Investigation
by the commission will at once reassure
them and stimulate the patronage to
that extent .
There are rumors that the Empire
theatre is soon Jo open a regular sea
son again, although none of the people
connected with tne management confirm
the story. The place seems to have had
its share of hard luck and never has
been much of a "money getter," in the

The scheme of replacing young men

The question of whether the orchestra

agitating the Eastern' theatre devotees.

webb, the , daughter of strictly or the
close' New ' England parents, is sent to
New York to earn her living as a nurse
girl. She attends the theatre soon after
her arrival and is seised with a desire
to become an actress, her menial posi

patient study she succeeds in her am
bition, and In a few years, under the as

pay off a mortgage upon the home farm.
She has also met and is in love with
a young merchant Charlie Lawton, . to
whom she has become engaged. .
Suddenly she received a telegram from
her father, Deacon Isaiah. J ubal Home
webb, that he is coming to New York to
see her. Knowing his horror of the
theatre, and everything pertaining to It,
she Is in despair, and by an Inspiration
determines to dress her maid, Mary
O'Dogherty, in her (Ruth's) clothes and
herself to assume the part of the maid
when her father comes. She does, and
la well nigh successful In her scheme,
when the awkwardness of Mary In a
hlghly-amuslng scene, and the entrance
of Mrs. Browne in a decollete robe so
shocks and outrages the father's sense
of propriety that he drags her back to
the old farm. She Is seen by a would-be
admirer, Squire Sllmbergash, who rec
ognises her as the actress, "Mabel Haw
thorne," and proposes to her.
Being refused, he Informs her par
ents that she is an actress. In a very
elever scene she refutes his assertion so
entirely to her parents' satisfaction that
they set upon the squire and beat him
from the house. In revenge he fore
closes a mortgage he holds upon their
household effects, and they are turned
out of doors. By the aid of Charley
Lawton and with the contrivance of
Ruth, the parents are established in a
fiat In New-York. While Ruth Is sup
posed to go. to Boston to service, but
in renltty returns to the stage under
her old manager. Lawton undertakes
to enlarge the deacon's mental horixon
in the amusement line, takes him out
to see the sights,' even to the theatres,
etc.. until the old man's views upon the
sinfulness of acting and actresses un
dergo such a decided change that he be
comes a warm admirer of his own daugh
ter, wnom he does not recognise under
her stage name, . In the end Ruth dis
closes her - real . occupation In a very
touching scene, her father, Instead of
reproaching her, has become so much
of-a convert to liberal views as to feel
a pride in her as an actress, no less
than; a true woman, and the play ends
happily for '.The Deacon's Daughter"
and .all concerned.
Iri the part of Ruth Homewebb, Miss
Jessie Shirley has 'added to her reputa
tion as an actress of; great versatility,
and in her comedy scenes is unexception
al) y clever. The play will be splen
didly staged and no doubt many will go
to renew their recollections of Annie
Plxley,-who made famous 'The Dea
con's Daughter.". Miss. Shirley Is the
only actress playing ' 'The Deacon's
Daughter," having purchased -. the en
tire rights of production.

Beginning with a Sunday matinee and
each night until Thursday the Jessie
Shirley company, will present at Cord
ray's theatre an elaborate, scenic pro
duction of "Rip Van Winkle." It is a
romantic production in four acts, adapted
from Washington Irving's celebrated
story of the same name.
- Every one remembers the legend of the
Catskill mountains, where It is supposed
Hendrlck Hudson and his pirate crew
reappear on their ' summits on certain
nights every year. How. Rip. the vil
lage "good for naught" is turned out of
house and home by his wife. Gretchen,
because, of his lncorrlblble proneness to
"swear off," but with a mental reserva
tion of taking the first opportunity to
pledge his friend In t- a drink '.of
"schnapps" in "here's to your good
health, an your family's good health,
and may you live long and prosper."
Rip's sleep of 20 years his awakening
and consequent amazement in all the
changes that have occurred how - he
foils the roguery Of Derrick Von Beck
man and after all Baves his home and
regains the love of his wife Gretchen.
This is the story -you will have in "Rip
Van Winkle.' the play which will be
presented ' at Cordray's theatre . at the
Sunaftyntatftiee,and-whleh-haB -given
more healthy recreation during the past
0 years to theatre goers than any other
play ever presented. :
Mr, George D. McQuarrle and a strong
company can be trusted to give a very
fine performance.

The management Is honest They have

The ever welcome actess, Florence
Roberts, begins her annual engagement
at the Marquam Grand theatre on Mon
day night with a handsome scenic pro-
auction or Clyde intcn's interesting so
ciety drama, "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson,"
which is announced for Tuesday and
Wednesday nights also, and is to be fol
lowed with "Sapho," "Gioconda" and
"Zaza." To Miss Roberts belongs the
credit of giving us our first glimpse of
a number of big Eastern successes.
'The Frisky Mrs. Jonhson" Is a new
style of offering .. from Miss Rob
erts, but from all accounts Is a thor
oughly pleasing one. The play Itself
Is more interesting than the usual so
ciety drama and has a well developed
plot. . The lines are bright and snappy
ana the character sketches clever.
"Sapho"' will be the bill on Thursday
nignt only. , ,
The principal novelty- will be "GIo
conda," the poetic r drama by Gabriels
U'Annunaio, which, la-scheduled for Fri
day night It is the story of an Italian
sculptor who loves hl devoted wife. and
child and cherishes also a passion for
his model. ,The two emotions he cannot
master so he seeks escape from the in
evitable results by suicide, but falls.
His gratitude for his wife's faithful
nursing she 'mistakes for his absolute
love and she orders the model away from
the studio. The. scene between the two
women is tferrlflc. The model, infuriated,
tries to destroy the statue and the wife
while protecting.it receives such Injuries
that she loses both her hands. ,
The engagement ends on '' Saturday
with two performances Of the favorite
"Zaia." Seats are" now selling for the
entire week. .- . '
"AT THE WHITE HOBSS TATEBW."
Tomorrow afternoon the Baker The
atre company will open In "At the White
Horse Tavern," which is a very pretty
three act comedy adapted from the Ger
man. The" scenery and costumes are in
keeping with the plot One beautiful
set scene suffices for. the three acts, a
hostelry with a bewildering view of the
Austrian Alps. The plot deals with the
love sfbry of the kind hearted and genial
landlady of the White Horse. Her un
selfish devotion to the man she loves,
who fails to appreciate it and the con
stancy of her head waiter, who finally
wins her, la her love, . story, . Then
guests arrive' and the young folks have
very pretty little affairs of their own and
all ends happily. An irascible old father
involved in a lawsuit unwittingly , aids
his opponent's attorney to win his own
daughter, and forms one of the main ele
ments in the fun making, but as the air
is .sentimental the .various people who
throng the stage, become affllcte4 with
the tender passion rat cross purposes,
which brings forth a great many ridicu
lous situations, all of which combine to
make the play one of the best 'comedies
seen In recent years. It was last played
In Portland at the' Marquam Grand two
years ago and this is the-first -time it
has ever been seen In Portland at Baker
prices. ,

he kept it to himself, .
"Me an' Em ry has always lived on the

I let drive a few tart ones. 'Fore I

he reached the measure. I never knew

i Though they , have the same end In
view, when it comes to proposing, all
men do it In a different manner. The
big Hercules of a man, that one would
naturally -expect- to be as strenuoua in
his wooing as in his appearance, when
It comes to demanding the hand and
heart of his lady Jove actually quakes.
The little mouse of a man. who is nat
urally timid, prances up to his choice
and commands her to cast In her lot with
his. In language forceful and strenuous
he wooes her, and she walks off with
him feeling that she has won a mental
If not a physical Goliath. Another queer
thing about man's proposing is that he
never does it at the time or place he Is
expected to. He will let the girl see
that he means business, and then will
keep her on the tenterhooks of, uncer
tainty Indefinitely. Twenty times a fav
orable opportunity will occur, . and
though Cupid whispers in bis ear "Now
la the time," he will put it off, and then
at some utterly impossible time and
place .will blurt It out I once knew a
man who was devoted to a girl for years;
he knew he wanted to marry her and
she knew It also, but as he had never
formally asked her they were not en
gaged. They bad been thrown together
in many romanilo situations, but his
mightiness could not arrive at the pro
posing point ? One evening, coming up
town In a crowded train, he suddenly
and unexpectedly "arrived." The girl
was tempted to refuse him, he had
shilly-shallied so over it; but you see,
she loved him. so she accepted him. - The
days are past when men go on their
knees' to Implore a favorable answer.
The modern man loves just-as sincerely
as' his ancestors did, but he is, afraid
of "bagging" his "trousers. No more do
Romeos warble beneath their ladles' lat
tice;' the nearest they can come to a
serenade Is to whistle "Bedalla" as they
pass the apartment house wherein her
loveliness is hidden.
It sometimes happens that a man tum
bles head over heels into a proposal
that he never Intended to make. The
glamour of a moonlight night, the witch
ery ef a pair of bright eyes, the meddle
some Interference of naughty Dan Cupid,
and lo! the gay trifler finds-himself
In the tolls.; i
I have not much sympathy for men
of this kind. They make love to all the
girls they meet , Their path Is strewn
with bleeding hearts, and it Is only fair
that they in their turn should And them
selves in a false position. The man who
wooes a girl In the right way goes
straight ahead and tells her without pre
amble that he loves her. Nine times
out of ten he wins her by his very di
rectness. , Try It,, all you vacillating
