Mr. Oilmore is always letter-perfect, but this does not mean that he' cbmj mlts- his lines 'and business to mem ory after the manner of a parrot; he exercises discretion and intelligence In reading his lines and In performing nis ousiness.

Mr. Oilmore has been uniformly successful as a star because of his intelligent methods, com bined with favorable physical qualifi cations and right experience In a 'va riety of roles. Mr. Oilmore will be at the Marquam Grand for one week beginning with a matinee today at 2:15, in ."The "Wheel of Love," written especially for him by George V.

The first Portland stock production of "ZazA" will be given at the Bakor all week starting with a matinee this afternoon. Miss Izetta Jewel,' who, dur ing the past two weeks has become very popular as leading woman, will appear in the famous emotional role. This is a play in which sne .has achieved im mense success in other places, and thea tre goers in this city will be greatly in terested In her portrayal of the part There will be a matinee Saturday, only David Belasco took this play from the French of Berton and Simon for Mrs. Leslie Carter, moulded it and shaped it softening t here, bringing out points there, until-be: had produced a master piece and at the same time had elim inated all objectionable features 'that were found in Its original form. .

' "No Mother to thiide Her." Jeanette Carew and a "strong melo dramatic company dlreot "from the , east will open this afternoon at the BniiJtre in the new and thrilling melodrahda, ""No Mother to Guide Her.", This has been one of the biggest drawing cards -all over the circuit this season and it is reported to carry one" of the very best meioaramatic companies ever seen nere. It Is a story of New York slum life. and the scenery is all novel and entirely realistic and true to life. ' When it was reported last spring mat xmo juotner to uuiue tier was to be put on the market' there was quite a scramble among the different roau managers to secure ' control of this. A great many bids were received, but it remained for Holden Brothers & Edwards of Chicago to secure ihe prize. Mr. Edwards went to New Tork with his check book, made the highest bid. closet! the deal within an hour and took the next train back west with the much coveted play securely locked in his suit case. From that moment on they have Dut forth their best efforts to srive the piece One of the finest and most elabor ate productions of, any play of its class on the road. Tue regular Wednesday and Saturday matinees wTTl be given. . . "Way Down West" at the Star. 'Way Down West", begina' Its week's engagement at the Star theatre this aft ernoon. Matinees will be held today, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. ' The French -stock company can play something aside from wild melodrama and will prove it this -week in "Way Down West." Those wbo are 'familiar with plays know that this Is one which has made good wherever presented, and It In considered a- quiet, polite and re fined drama with genuine merit There is patriotism, love, comedy and ad venture In "way Down-West" so that the play contains something to please every taste. ' The story of "Way Down West" Is well constructed. The action, takes place at a post in the Indian country, here is a war scare and' the hostile red skins go on the warpath. The fort is attacked, but the enemy is repul&ed after a brisk battle. x.ns is the only semblance to melodrama in the Play. The central characters are-played by one man, as it is a dual role, . This will be Something new on the stage -at the Star, as no other play this season has possessed a dual role.. The French stock company, of course, will give a splendid performance, for this will be the first opportunity they have had for a bit of suppressed emo tional acting and quiet, effective, acting in several months. The olav will be produced properly and no money will be spared to make it (Complete in every defalL ' The uniforms will be correct down .to the buttons. 1, fYlideTilleatllhe .Grand.
