WITH tonight's 'performance at
the Marquam the engagement
of Mlsa Nauioe O'Ketl In this
city will close. The engage
ment ha been a notable one
In this city for the reason that It is the
first time that a theatrical star has
appeared here for a longer period than
touring contracts would allow, o
' The engagement was highly eatlsfac
" tory. Manager Conn announces that
. from the standpoint of the box
office It was satisfactory, and
certainly from the standpoint of the
public the engagement was a cause for
congratulation.
Miss CXNell appeared In several of
the leading plays n her reportoire, and
those whopave followed her career with
more than casual' interest declare that
he has never appeared to oeiter aa
' vantage than during her engagement
here. She has always been a iavorne in
Portland, and has endeared herself even
more strongly to tne fortiana puonc.
The new play, "The Story of the Golden
Fleece," will be taken to New rork
for a metropolitan trial, according to
present plans, and If successful there
will be taken on the road on an elab
orate scale.
Berinnina- tomorrow night and con
tinuing for four weeks the Stockwell
MacGregor company will appear at the
' Marquam. This company has been sup
porting Miss O'Neil during the engage
ment of that star, and with several
changes will continue to be the attrac
tion at the Marquam.
Its first offering will be "The Under
tow," a story of newspaper and political
' life la a large city. The piece made a
great hit In New York, and has been
Immensely nonular in California cities.
- It production is opportune there, for
tne reason ion me siory bhuwb ui
, corruption of political leaders, and also
- shows their final undoing.
Manager Baker of the Third street
house is preparing one of the strongest
companies he has ever had, and that of
course means one of the best stock
companies that has ever been seen in
this city. His season will open Sep
. tember 1.
t
MONOLOGUES
The Undertow" at the Marquam.
Political dramas are now In demand
because of the campaign against graft
and crooked methods throughout the
country. One of the best of these plays,
and one which compares well With 'The
1lon and1 the Mouse," is "The Under
tow," which will be played all week at
the Marquam by the Stockwell-Mac-Gregor
company, which has been sup
porting Nance O'Neil.
"The Undertow" is a newspaper play
as well as one of political corruption.
It has the distinction of being declared
tne nest constructed and having the best
dramatic interest of any play of its
kind in New Tork during the past season.
It had its premier production in New
Tork last spring and Immediately at
tracted attention. It was recently pro
duced in San Francisco, where the graft
investigations of Francis J. Heney made
It particularly appropriate.
The hero of "The Undertow," which
waa written by Eugene Walter, is a
newspaper reporter and arrayed
agnlnst him are financiers and crooked
politicians. He organises a movement
wiilch results in the election of a re
form mayor. The first act Is In a news
paper office, where the election returns
have been received and published, and
Dick Wells, the hero, comes in after
the paper has gone to press. He meets
Horace Whitelaw, the owner and finan
cier; John Stanley, political manager
and director of the gas company, a sup
erintendent of the street railway com
pany, and others who belong to the
political machine.
Wells, who is a dipsomaniac arrives
In an intoxicated condition and flaunts
the ring politicians with their defeat.
The machine decides to trap the mayor
ana soon tne reiorm mayor has been
led to speculate until he has exhausted
his own funds and those of an estate
entrusted to his charge. When thus in
the toils, the mayor Is forced to sign
franchise grabs, for which he receives
a sum sufficient to meet' his debts.
Under the belief that Wells, too, has
been bought, the mayor participates in
the steal and the passage of the fran
chise bill, with! the mayor's message,
arouses Wells to fury. .The people are
called to the city hall. Where the politi
cal ring has anticipated the move by
having the police and soldiers ready to
hold them back.
Wells Is finally discredited by his own
friends and he is arrested on a charge
of theft. Whitelaw sends for the re
porter and offers him a Job working
for the "system," which Wells rejects
and then tells the financier what he
thinks of him. This attack is made In
the presence of Whltelaw's daughter
and her secretary, formerly a woman
reporter, who loves Wells. The daugh
ter discovers that her father's domestic
life and his business life are two dif
ferent things and she refuses to accept
the present he has Just given her. The
play ends with the financier suffering
from his first defeat.
Vaudeville at The Grand.
People demand novelty in vaudeville
and that Is what Sullivan & Consldlne
undertake to supply at the Grand. The
new bill, starting tomorrow, will have
a surprising headline attraction. This
will be "Friendship," a satire on the
modern problem play by Ibsen. This
unique sketch will Jig,, offered by David
P. Perkins, Henry A. Lappin A Co. It
was translated by Edwin Kraas and
Perkins and wherever presented has
been a sensation.
There is a barrel of fun in the act
of Robinson & Grant, who have the
happy faculty of making people smile.
An act from Europe is also on the pro
gram. This will be. offered by the
Bartelmas. , This is a' balancing turn In
which the man balances a sailboat on
his feet.
Miss Sivie Dench is a contralto from
Australia and the young woman is mak
ing her first vaudeville tour of Amer
ica. She is said to have a voice which
would be at home In grand opera. Ar
thur Rlgby, the minstrel monologlst,
needs no introduction to people who are
familiar with blackface comedians, for
he is as well known as any burnt cork
entertainer in the world. In the way
of songs there will be a generous num
ber. The latest song hit, "My Irish
Rosle" will be the Illustrated ballad of
Joe Thompson. For the Orandlscope
will be "Father's Quiet Sunday," which
is anything but quiet.
There will be the usual Sunday shows
today, which will close the current bill,
headed by Beatrice Moreland and Stan
ley Johns in "Taming a Husband."
Shaw, the coin manipulator. Is on tne
list, and so are several other fine spe-.
cialties. The Grand Is always cool.
Laughter at The Star.
Laughter will reign all this week at
the Star theatre, for commencing to
morrow night the stock company will
present "A Bachelor's Honeymoon."
This particular comedy Is second to
none In creating merriment. There
will be matinees Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday and Sunday.
"A Bachelor's Honeymoon" was used
for many years by one or the prin
cipal comedians of this country and the
play has been given in every city of
consequence In this country and Canada,
but this will be the first time that "A
Bachelor's Honeymoon" has been of
fered in a stock house. To obtain this
play for the week a very high royalty
has been Daid by Sullivan & Consldlne.
This firm, however, does not care for
expense, providing the patrons are sat-

KrutUchnltt's Visit.
From the Prlnevllle Review.
Ms, Harriman'a lieutenant, Julius
Kruttsennttt, made a very hurried In
apectlontof central Oregon last week,
so hurried, hv fact, that It was ludi
crous, and it Is patent to all that unless
someone else builds a railroad Into this
territory there will be none built. To
hold the position that Mr. Kruttschnltt
aoes indicates something more than or
dinary ability to take In at a glance
an me resources or tne country, but
there la Just one vital point that was
aouDuess overioogea by that able gen
tleman ana win ran to be noticed In
his report to Mr. Harrlman. That Is,
the country wtll remain in a compara
tively unsettled condition until such
time as the railroad shall have been
built Mr. Kruttschnltt. a casual
visitor, with an eye onen to readv ton
nage, of course, did not find the country
up to his expectations, and It is to be
supposed that be will report accord.
inglj Development will bring tonnage,
but it seems to us that the Harrlman
system will not believe in futures.
led.
Mistaken Identity has an important
part in "A Bachelor's Honeymoon." It
has situations which are exaggerated
from the realistic Just enough to make
them screamingly funny. There are
bright lines in the dialogue and the ac
tion is of the quick, snappy sort.
Through the courtesy of Manager
George L. Baker. Earl Dwire will ap-
Eear with the stock company at the
tar theatre for a few weeks playing
the leading male roles. Mr. Dwire has
been engaged by Manager Baker for
the latter's stock company during the
coming season ana a Bachelor
Honeymoon will introduce him to
Portland theatre-goers. Claudia Colona,
me new leading woman, win have
part which will display her talents as
a comedienne.
"A Royal Slave," which has played
the past week at the Star, will be given
this afternoon and evening for the last
time. It is the finest romantic plajr
which has been given at this theatre
in a year. Frank DeCamD is starring
in ii as AKuina, lasi or ine Montezu
mas, and Eunice Murdock is featured
in the emotional role. The production
is complete to the smallest detail. Seats
are now selling.
New War Potpourri by Schilzonyl
Schllsonyi, the leader of the Imperial
Hungarian band that has played Itself
Into the hearts of the Portland pub
lie, has composed a piece which his
band will play at the Oaks today for
the first time. It Is descriptive of the
Spanish-American war, and will be one
of the most spectacular pieces of music
ever heard In this city.
The piece will be played to aocom-
pany a series of moving pictures which
nave Deen imported from New York as
peclally for the occasion. The pictures

show various scenes and phases of the
war with Spain and the music which
will accompany them will make the
crowds wildly enthusiastic. There will
also be fireworks during the piece.
The piece begins by describing the
peace and quiet which reigned through
out the country Just before the war be
gan. Then there is the blowing up of
the battleship Maine by treacherous
Spaniards and the declaration of war.
President McKlnley's call for volunteers
waa quickly answered and the pictures
snow the mustering or troops at tne va

The piece will be played tomorrow even

One of the best attractions that has
ever been brought to this city will be
seen at the Oaks during the coming
week. It is DeaneBs manikins, which
have made more people laugh than any
other one attraction on the stage.
Deane is said to carry out the old mar
ionette Idea more wonderfully and com
pletely than anyone who has yet at
tempted It. His manikins perform
feats and tricks that are really astound
ing.
Among their feats Is the one of the
operation of a real orchestra by these
Imaginary people. They give a theat
rical performance in which some of
them perform while the orchestra pro
vides the music.
There are plenty of other attractions
at the Oaks this year, more than ever
before. It Is the coolest place in the
noruiwest and thousands of people visit
It every day to enjoy Its shade and
constant breezes.
"The Westerner" Next at the Lyric.
The regular weekly opening of the
new bill at the Lyric will occur Mon
day night when the Allen stock com
pany will be seen In a splendid produc
tion of the phenominal eastern success,
"The Westerner."
The play Is one that has seldom been
excelled as a drama of action and human
Interest. There Is a beautiful sentiment
runnin through It, spiced with delicious
comedy. It Is not a frontier drama as
might be supposed, but a play of New
York life In which the principal char
acter is a courageous young western
hero, whose adventures constitute the
principal interest of the piece. There is
a charming young heroine and a number
of extremely interesting character parts.
Verna Felton, the favorite actress of
the Portland nubile, will be seen in one
of her finest roles. Ralph Belmont will
be seen at his best, while Mrs. Clara
Allen, the eminent character actress, and
Forrest Seabury, the delightful light
comedian, will distinguish themselves
as they have not done In recent bills.
Manager Mtirpnv nas decided to throw
economy to the winds and has spent a
reat deal or money in building the pro
uction. which will be an elaborate and
beautiful one from the standpoint of
scenery and mechanical effects. Direc
tor Allen has spent much time and
devoted a great deal of pains to the re
hearsals, wnicn give promise or one or
the most complete performances ever
seen at the theatre.
