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. He is scrupuously caro
ful not- to .exaggerate and equally cau
tious not - to --emit anything of even
minor importance. 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. Ho
bart, a humorist and dramatist of na

pany has been carefully chosen and
is superbly balanced. The accessories
are entirely adequate. "The Wheel of
Love" promises to be one of the best
things, theoretically speaking, of the
current season,

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

"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.

the next train back west with the much
coveted play securely locked in his suit

Dut forth their best efforts to srive the
piece One of the finest and most elabor

"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
