(Continued from Page Fifty-two.)
this afternoon. In "The Choir Singer"
the author has created a strong, plot
dealing with the life and adventures
of a young woman, Alice Leigh ton. On
the death of her father, Alice finds
that his entire estate la heavily en
cumbered, the mortgages being held by
a northern capitalist named Thorne,
who la responsible for the bad Invest
ments her father made. Alice Is pos
sessed of a wonderful voice, and Thorne
who hears her In the village church
choir, sees a chance to take her to the
nltv. and make a lot of mohey by get
ting her on a vaudeville tour. Fortune
favora his plans for awhile and she
Is Inveigled to New York. They sre
followed, however, by faithful friends,
who manage to reacus Alice from the
clutches of Thorne. Many charming
singing specialties are Introduced dur
ing the action of the play, an well hs
some romMf numners. 'mere will n
matinees Wednesday and Saturday and
every night the coming week of "The
Choir Singer" at the Empire.
"In the Palace of the King."
In the Palace of the King," as the
title indicates, is a grand court produc
tion and requires a wealth of magnifi
cent costumes and rich scenery, besides
an unusually large cast. It will be put
on with all Its splendor at the Baker
for the week following "AH on Account
of Eltsa," and opens next Sunday mat
inee, October 20.
The Cowpuncher" Next Week.
After "The Choir Singer" at the Em
pire there will come an attraction that
will no doubt make the walls of that
popular playhouse bulge nut to hold the!
crowns, i nis wiu te "ine i owpuncti
er," s snappy and breety western drama
by Hal Hold, one of the most popular
writers or ine nay. opening perform
ance next Sunday matinee, October 20.
The Grand's Bill.
Pursuing the policy which has made
the Grand the leading vaudeville thea
tre of the northwest, Sullivan A Consl
dlne are sending another fine entertain
ment to Portland this week, the new
program being unfolded tomorrow aft
ernoon. The bright particular attraction
on the bill will be Frances Venlta Grey
and her famous girls. Miss Grey and
her singing and dancing fairies have
made a tremendous success wherever
they have been.
The Great Earnests have a comedy
horlsontal bar act. In which they per
form only difficult and comical tricks.
Arthur Don and Minnie May Thompson
have a singing playlet, "Th eHallor and
the Maid. and It Is a lively affair,
with a multitude of laughs. Ooorge
Kalne. one of the best of eminent Ger
man comedians, will Introduce a dia
lect monologue. Finn and Ford are
billed as comedians and eccentric danc
ers. Les Bohemlennes appear In operatlo
selections. These people are Marie Won
dra. playing the flute and saxaphone,
and Elaine Forrest, a coloratlng soprano.
Joe Thompson will be heard singing
"When the Main In the Moon Looks
Down, the latest song hit of the east.
"The Nurse's Htrlke" Is the comical ti
tle of a comical film of moving pictures
which will bring the show to a close.
Today will be the last performance of
the current show headed by Harry Bot
ter Co., and Fox and Foxle'a animal
circus.
The Girl Engineer."
"The Girl Engineer" will be the at
traction this week at the Star theatre.
The first performance will be the mat
inee today and this will also be the
first time the drama has been seen In
I his city. The Richard 13. French stock
company has had the play in prepara
tion for some time and an Interesting
performance can be expected.
"The Girls Engineer. as the name
indicates, has to do with railroading.
The play requires an especially elab
orate amount of scenery and some new
mechanical novelties. 1 he railroad
scene, which is one of the big acts in
the drama, calls for a locomotive and a
trRln of cars. These v.Mll be provided by
Manager Frenrh. Having been a rail
road man In his early life, the author
knows whereof he speaks and una placed
In the play some of the exciting ex
periences of the life on the road.
The full strength of the stock com
pany will be used in "The Girl En
gineer" and a number of extra peo
ple will be needed. From a scenlo
standpoint, Manager French promises to
make It a great production, one which
will be finer than anything else he has
given during bis engagement in this
city.
Matinees of Tb Qlrl Engineer" will
be Sunday. Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday. Seats for all performances are
now on sals at the boxofflce or can
bs reserved by telephone.
w
Pantageg Select Vaudeville.
The slight advance In prices did not
detract In the least from business in
the past week at Psntages. In fact,
patronage seemed to bs better and there
Is no doubt tut that the show was bet
ter. Of the new week the list la made ud
entirely of the best acts. One of the
biggest and best acts In vaudeville is
booked by Manager Johnson as the
i earn re. rnis is tne Barton' and Ash
ley sketch, "Canal Boat Sallle," which
has made the greatest kind of a hit
east or tne MIssIssIdu . It Is a a da
splitting comedy In Which the audience
is naraiy given time to catch Its breath
in the round of fun.
Another celebrated comedy team Is
Walters and Hill, known as the side
splitting Sidewalk ronversnt InnallMta
Their humor la as original as It Is
effective. They belong to the better
class of comedians.
In Herr Jansen, an European Illusion
specialist, the theatre Is to be congrat
ulated on having secured a performer of
remarkable originality and cleverness.
Jansen Is In a class by himself In the
Illusion producing business and his act
is one that readily appeals to all.
Jansen Is followed by more comedy,
which Is handed out In approved style
by Ollson and Tolan.
Still another big comedy turn Is that
put on by Edward and Nettie Masse,
comedy Jugglers. The Masses have
their own Ideas on the subject of com
edy Juggling, and their act Is one of
the neatest and cleverest to be met with
In a long week'a Journey.
Jean Wilson, the popular baritone,
will sing another new oictured ballad
and the Olograph will present the very
latest movlng-plcture comedies.
"Did His Boat Friends."
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"Old you hear about the defacement
of Skinner's tombstone?"
"No. What was ltT'
"Some one added the word "friends"
to his epitaph."
"What was his epitaph T"
"He did his best."

SBIPLE LIFE IN LONDON.
The Aristocracy la Eating Grasa and
Drinking Barley Water.
What with oaracannlng, camping out,
renouncing meat and wine and buying
ready-made frocks, a good many of us
are trying our beat to lead the simple
life. It Is doubtless better for the next
generation that the young girls of this
can scarcely be induced to touch the cup
that inebriates as well ss cheers.
Even young men, says the Gentle
woman, Neville Lytton among them,
are vaunting the virtues of fruit, nuts
and vegetables as food. And barley
water, actually barley water, Is becom
ing popular as a drink. Mrs. Earle
of "Surrey Garden" fame and aunt of i
the present Lord Lytton, Is an ardent
disciple of vegetarianism; ao, too, al
though less dogmatic a one, the Duchsss
of Rutland aye! and Lady Plymouth
and the young Lady Lytton and the
Baron ne de Meyer besides.
Anyhow, It Is quite a sign of the times
that the Duchess of Portland gave a
luncheon party some time ago at the
'lustace Miles restaurant and her guests
Included Arthur Balfour and Lord Rev
elstoke and the Duchess of Marlborough.
