After casting about for an Ideal summer bill. the management succeeded In getting the rights to "Whose Baby Are Tout" said to be the funniest American farce. which has never been seen here before. although for several seasons It has been a favorite In New Tork. The critics hailed It at the time of Its production as the best farce yet offered on this sine or me water.

SPHERE was as little interest In last week s theatrical events aa mere la In the average weeks of sum mer time. The season Is closed. although a doubt was raised at one time as to whether or not there was a closed season In this city. Of course several theaters are run ning, but they do not interfere mate rially with the closed season. The Marquam predominates In public at ten tlon and Is keeping alive during the hot period Interest In things theatrical. The regular stock . companies are doing good summer business and at the same time doing their best to demonstrate that there la no cloaed aeaaon here. The one event of consequence during the week was the presentation of The Fires of Saint John." by Nanoe O'Nell and her oompany at the Marquam. It Is the play in which Miss O'Nell made her greatest aucceaa in New York, though her greatest success there was not as splendid a victory as she has achieved elsewhere. However, many eastern cities besides the metropolis were enthusiastic about this western tar anil har nerformance. "The Fires of Saint John" la a play that pleased large audiences ana is re garded as one of Sudermann'a beat ef forts. As presented by Miss O'Nell and her company it is a real worn 01 art and perhaps the beat production that has been offered at the Marquam during her engagement there. The story has an Interest that ia absorbing and the play itself is one that demands the which will far surpass anything of the keenest attention.

Miss Meeker Is one of the most agile of fe male contortionists and In addition to her flexible feats she Is also a singer of quality. The Tanakas are Japanese top spinners and magicians. Good Jap anese acts 'are always popular and this one is up with the foremost imported acts In the country. Reeves and Kenny are singers and expert dancers. They have a neat and attractive specialty.

An entirely new production will be built and every detail will receive the closest attention. "Man's Enemy" at the Star. "Man's Enemy" will occupy the atage at the Star theatre this week, beginning tomorrow night. There will - be the usual matinees Tuesday, Thursday, Sat urday and Sunday. "Man's Enemy" Is a melodrama and it Is In melodramatic productions that the stock company at the Star is seen to the best advantage. Among the dramas which caused a commotion In theatrical circles last sea- ! son was "Man's Enemy." It is a dramatised sermon, but teaches its moral in such an interesting way that the attention of the audience never wanders. Or course, every one knows who Is man's chief enemy. The .troubles which follow from drinking and card playing, from gambling and similar practices and habits are responsible for more than half of the miseriea of the world. The author haa taken thla sub ject aa his text and has woven to gether a story of unusual Interest and exceptional merit. Each of the several acta are filled with excitement and the plot la atrlking in Its originality. That the primrose path is not the one leading to aucceaa In life la boldly ex plained. In writing the play the drama tist has not a-one to the extent of ex aggerating his situations nor his char acters. The people In the play are the kind met In every-day life and the ad- I rent urea, while urUUse ana sens. well-trained dogs and some feats are astonishing. Schllzonyl's band Is of coarse the best attraction at the park. Few bands In America have won such popularity thla organization of youthful Hunga rians. It is composed of 40 cadets, who are touring America under a bonded contract with the Austrian government. Monday is to be devoted to the enter tainment of women and children at the park. They will be given free admis sion and special features are being ar ranged for their entertainment. Arrangements have been made by the management to have the Sellwood gate at the park open at 8 o'clock, and the main gate at 11:80 in the future. Trail ers have been placed on all Oaks cars that leave the city after a certain hour In the afternoon to accommodate the public. There Is no Dlace in the northwest so Ideal for picnic parties as the Oaks dur ing these uot days. The shade of the big oak trees is inviting and there is always a breeze from the river. Many such events have been held there this season and also many whist parties are given. The management will take pleas ure in providing whatever is needed for such entertainments.
