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

The Virginian Is as near to being that
Tery rare Individual, an Ideally attrac
tive man, as the stage affords. Melo

exist, Bnaxespeare, and Ibsen never
rouna one. Therefore let Mr. Winter
be praised for his ontlmium
with the leading man and the "vil

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

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills:

"The doctors advised ma to aro to mv

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

particular. For two weeks it was a
life and death struggle, but Dr. Wil

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
