famed melodramas, which have been
coming out In the circuit for years and
years, can revel to their heart's de
light. Lee Willard, who will be re
membered as John Storm tn Cntherlne
Countess' "Glory" In Manager George

it. will he the Kmnlm'a flrnt nt-
traOTlon. In u new play of the plains,
entitled, "A Texas Ranger." Mr. Wil
lard Is supported by several actors and
uctresses well-known to Portland, and
most favorably known, too. Among
these Is the trading woman. Miss Ethel
Roberts, and Georgle Woodthorpo who
was here rjcently with Nunce O'Nell,
hs well iik the little child actress. Ol
lle Cooper, so prominently featured last
neason In "Little Lord Fauntleroy," and
"The Prlncf and the Pauper." Other
nieitibers are hIho well-known by theatre-goer?,
nnd nn extniordlnnry per
forniuare la promised for the weak. J'hu
play. "A 'I exns KanmT" Is a comedy
In four nets from the pen of Ernest
Htont. The plot Is repl-t with humor,
romnnce ami sensational rltmiixps.
which, following one on the other-wlth
Hstoulf iiliiR rapidity, lend to the piny
nn Intereht thnt never falls from the
rise to the fall of the curtuln In every
act. A decided point of Interest In
"A Texas Ranger" Is the fart thnt the
characters were all drawn from real
life nnd while the names used ate fic
titious, the persons may all be recog
nized by nil those having knowledge of
past Indian uprisings and ravages. In
the third act when after a desperate
defense with few men against a fierce
w from th." Indians, Colonel
rshall places his revolver to his
daughter s head determined to take her
precious life himself rather than allow
ner 10 ihii captive in mem, ie kuimcimi
of dramatic tension Is reached Just as
Henton and the Texas rangers arrive to
the rescue. The climax Is a rousing
one.
The play Is a most excellent one all
through and Is bound to please. There
will be matinees at the Empire on Sun
day. Wednesday and Saturday every
Week.
w
Vaudeville at the Grand.
8tlll another of those big vaudeville
shows which are making the Orund
famous and popular, Is announced for
this week. The new bill will be pre
sented tomorrow, Monday, afternoon, for
the first time. The Grand has been
hitting tTie high spots of late, all the
acts being far above the average and
consisting almost exclusively of big
eastern and European specialty artists.
The ensuing week will be no exception,
for there will be plenty of singing, danc
ing and enmedv.
The ne
new program Is headed by Mur-
pny ana wiuard in i lie rnrenoingist,
a new comedy sketch. The team Is
known from the Atlantic to t lie Pacific
coast and is as much a hit In New
York as In Portland. This team has ap-
ieared In Portland before and was hlgh
y successful at that time. It returns
better than ever, according to reliable
advices.
All the people, and there were many
thousands, who attended the Grand last
week and saw Al Jolson. the minstrel
man, will be glad to know that he has
been retained for the coming week. It
Is only on rare occasions that the man
agement will consent to holding an act
the second week, no matter how many
requests are made. Jolson Is one of the
greatest hits the Grand or any other
vaudeville house on the Pacific coast,
has presented. He Is original and what
Is more Important, he ha a real sinking
voice. He is funny all the time. Fitz
gerald and Gilday are eccentric singing
and dancing comedians, who have good
recommendations and flattering press
notices from other cities. They can be
depended on for a lively part of the
show.
Harris. Breauregarde and company
have a playlet, "The Country Judge,
one of those genuine rural sketches,
taken from life. The acting In this Is
said tt) be fit for the legitimate stage.
Cora Thomas Is a dainty aoubrette wh
will contribute to the gaiety of nation
and there Is a remarkabla contortionist
on the bill. Flexible Frederick, John
Thompson, the Illustrated song singer
who sings, and the Grandlscope, with
Imported films, will conclude tha enter
tainment. There will be the usual Sunday per
formances today of the old bill.
Star Has New Offering.
This afternoon the Richard E.
French Stock company at the Star thea
tre will present for the first time In
Portland the new and speotacular com
edy drama. "The City of New York."
J There will be matinees Tuesday, Thurs-
day and Saturday.
This 1b the third play which the
French company has offered In Port
I land and It promises to maintain the
'standard set by the two earlier bills.
I The public already recognizes the
French Stock company a something
I better than ordinary and the plays aa
I exactly what Is. wanted. The play and
! players fit to a nicety and the result Is
; a good, entertaining performance such
I as- the public pays to see. During the
,' past two weeks the Star has hail the
greatest period of prosperity In the hls
' tory .if the theatre. The attendance
'. has been at the capacity point almost
evfry night nnd the matinees are grow
ing more popular constantly. When the
, public flocks to a theatre the way the
Star Is receiving patronage It Is a sure
proof that there Is a bargain being pre
I dented.
I "The City of New York" Is a comedy
i drama, with ;i vein of the melodramatic
running through It. The play Is wrlt-
ten In four acts and Is the work of
i Walter Fessler. who has given a number
of successes to the stage. The manage-
i ment Intends that this shall be the
greatest scenic production ever given In
I Portland or elsewhere for the price.
I The plot of "The City of New York"
Is striking In Its originality. The ac
tion moves swiftly and events follow
one another In rapid succession. The
interest never grows cold, for the ex
cltement Is kept at the fever pitch to
the end of the drama, when the villain,
the cause of nil the trouble, meets with
retribution. Life In a great city Is al
ways rascinatlng ann me peculiar
phases of life in New York are depicted
In this new play. Fun is not overlooked
and the comedians have as much to do
as the hero and heroine. For a rous
ing, thrilling and delectable time, a
visit to the Star this week will be well
Invested. Seats for all performances
ire now on snle and seats can be re
served by telephone If convenient.
"Salomy Jane" Coming to Heilig.

Hesldes the impulsively enchanting
herjlne there are such personages aa
the redoubtable Colonel Starbottle. the
gifted Jack Hamlin and our highly pic
turesque old friend Yuba Rill, the Ideal
rough and ready stage driver of the
early California days. Mr. Armstrong
has caught the full spirit of the Harte
creations and Llebler & Co. have vastly
helped by furlnlshlng a stage produc
tion this Is altogether typical In a ma
terial sense and atmosphere in an im
palpable but none the less convincing
It Is difficult to Imagine a finer or
more appropriately selected; company
