work was incomparable and despite the

work he has ever done. .,

The Road to Frisco" at the Lyric.
It would be difficult to imagine a
more interesting attraction for Portland,
people than "The Road to 'Frisco,"
which the Allen stock company will of
fer for the week commencing Monday
night. The management has been nego
tiating for the play for some time and
has only recently been able to get It for
stock nurooses. It hss bsen a tremen
dous success In the larger eastern cities
and Is certain to prove such here. in
fact it should attract mora than usual
attention in this city because of the
close relationship of Portland and San
Francisco and the relief work done by
local people at the time of the disastsr.
"The Road to 'Frisco' is the only au
thentic dramatlo work covering the
earthquake and fire and although a
number of plays which borrowed the
Idea have been written slnoe, it alone
has the atmosphere and tha dramatlo
strength necessary to make a great
melodrama. The Allen company Is es-
fieclally adapted to presenting this play
n the finest manner possible ss there
are feature parts for almost every mem
ber of the cast. The roles fit ths mem
bers of the organisation almost as if
they had been written for them. Man
ager Murphy and Director Allen have
never handed the public a "lemon" yet
and when tbey guarantee -'The Road to
'Frisco" It mesne that there will be
everv good quality which they promise
for It
Such a play properly presented ss It
will be by the Allen company has great
educational value. It concerns one of
the greatest events In the history of
the country and one with which every
child should be familiar. Nowhere can
the children set a better Idea of what
that terrible disaster really was than
In "The Road to 'Frisco. A pretty
love story runs clear through the play
and there Is sn abundance of delicious
comedy.
This afternoon and tonight that mer
ry farce "Whose Baby Are Tou" will
be repeated for the last tlmss. Ths big
laughing show of the year.
Foresters at the Oaks.
Among the Immediate events at the
Oaks will be a monster celebration by
the Foresters of America, within She
next few days. The exact date hag not
yet been decided upon, but will be an
nounced later. The foresters have been
preparing;" for, the celebration : on an
elaborate scale, and Manager Freeman
of the Qake has arranged to turn the big
park over to then on that day. .
The headline feature for next week
will be ths Landauer teoupe. This ia a
troupe of six people In a comedy acro-
batls. act. ft will be free, and one t
the best that has ever been In this city.
Not' only will the children be interested,!
but the publlo as well. For three sea
sons this troupe was one of the . bUf
features of the Rlngllng clrous. ' 7T
