F. 8. Perhaps nothing; need be written bout the performance of "The Virgin lan" which wi given at the Helllg the atre last evening further than to say that W. 8. Hart has proven that it was not Mr. Farnum who made the success "i mat remarkably interesting play. Mr. Farnura's brown eves cant a n.'ll ever the part of the roiriantic westerner mat Ditnaed one to anvthlnr else. And ow aiong comes Mr. Hart who hasn't .big brown eyes nor all the Burne Jjnes rrwn of his predecessor's length vi nmo ana yei proves just as rascl natlnc and lust aa comnelllna- The Virginian Is as near to being that Tery rare Individual, an Ideally attrac tive man, as the stage affords. Melo drama IS full or him of nouran hut h higher art movement declares he doesn't exist, Bnaxespeare, and Ibsen never rouna one. Therefore let Mr. Winter be praised for his ontlmium with the leading man and the "vil lain," Trampaa so completely in tfie ascendency, no self-respecting prophet ess ot me new womannooa cares to play Mollle Wood. You have to go jnto toe nlgnwaya and byways to find some modest retiring young woman who is willing to be effaced without the opportunity of making a scene, Anne Meredith does It beautifully. One doesn't even realise that she Is pretty until the last act. And that frightful war of arrana-lna- her hair In the first two! It Is country school ma'mlsh, so awruny country scnool mamlsh. How ,ioes she ever have the courage to do it? Mr. Campau Trampas is as fine a jlece of work as ever. He doesn't grow '-areless despite the thousands of times tie pas played the part. It Is a wonder ful 'characterisation and while Campeau is cn the stage It la practically Impos sible to keep one's attention on the others of the company. Of the band of cow-punchers with their wives, all that' Is necessary to say is that they are aa good as they were In former productions of "The Virgin ian." O. A. Forbes' Steve is satisfac tory, nd several of the old members of the company have their original parts. Elenor Wilton Is good as Mrs. Hewie. Edith Lammert, who plays Mrs. Henry Is a good looking woman and a very bad actress. It really seemed a shame that she was required to evince any lr.terest at all In what was going on about her on the stage. The ranch owner's wives were without exception good character actresses. We bez-m with Mr. Hart but a notice of the production would not be fair did we not close with him also. He of course did not secure the ovation upon his first entrance that would have been accorded Mr. f arnum. it waa merely because Ms audience was not ac quainted with him. Before the even ing was over he had made his place in the regard of Portland's theatregoers. We like him immensely. He received seven curtain calls and a speech was demanded. He was wise enough not to lndulgo the greedy ones. But he had demonstrated greatly to the satisfaction of those who saw U4s performance, that his so-called thankless task of fillina enomer man a snoes was iar rrom be ing thankless. Mr. Farnum in the part was an extremely poetic-looking man who fjunri In It his nerfect role The strength of the part made the actor. While in Mr. Hart's case It Is a very good actor who Is making: a success with his part. And that, according to the canons of the dramatic art. la what a good actor should do. Tho Virginian Is aa absorblnrlr in teresting and as well played as ever. i ne witnessing or it ror the fourth time was as great a source of enjoy ment as was the first. A Detroit Contractor, ' Be lieved to Be Dying of Rheumatism, Cured - .by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills: Mr. George M. Glading, a contractor, of II Dumontier street, Detroit, Mich., ana a member of the Modern Wood men of .America, camp 9(7, of Custer, Is certain that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved his life. He says: ; "In m v vonnrer ilawi I waa In eharara of men getting out timber in northern Michigan, and was exposed, to all kinds of weather and for years had never spared myself from work or exposure. as a result or this and stomach trouble, 1 was completely run down during the 1903 and fell an oasy victim spring of to an attack of rheumatism 1 had the services of two doctors in Detroit, who, after attending me fer several months, said I could never get well. By this ume i was nelDlass. mv entire ooav seemed to be paralyzed and I couldn't move my arms or legs. "The doctors advised ma to aro to mv old noma In Custer, where I could be cared for during the remaining few days or weeks I had to live. My lodge met me and I went home, where I had a nurse and employed our family physl clan to give me what aid he could, al though he agreed with the doctors of uetroit, that i cou d not live, 'As I lay In bed I thoua-ht there must be something radically wrong in the treatment I was getting. I had no desire to quit life at my age and de cided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which I had heard some relatives say they had used. I bouaht one dosen boxes and commenced to take them at once, rollowlng the directions In every particular. For two weeks it was a life and death struggle, but Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills finally won. for I be gan to have some feeling In my feet. After using the pills steadily for six weeks I could walk across the room and six weeks later was doing light work. Mv friends and doctora were dumfounded at my recovery. That was nearly four years aro and today I am employing more men than I used to and am working longer and harder than any of them."
