The entrance of the party accompan ied by Sherlock Holmes, presents an op portunity fo- a play of-wits between the iwo principals and though Danvcrs ap- Sarently holds his own.

"Comln' Thro' the Rye" was written bv George V. Hobart and the music . was enmnoserf bv -A. Baldwin Sloane. Mr. Hobart has evolved a story of much - orlalnalltv. and in its working out ' he has hit upon many incidents and kathia which keep tfi audiences ., convulsed with laughter. Jt tells or ine :rt forts of a rich widow of tho Mrs. " Malaprop type to break Into fashionable f, mewpon society, and tne scenes are aii laid in and around her beautiful man- 4. aion at the famous resort. After many lutlle attempts to gain recognition, Mrs. ; .

That singularly, scholarly, accom plished and pleasing actor Creston Clarke, whose last appearance here as Monsieur Le Due D'Orleans, masperad Ing as a French barber, "Monsieur Beau- calre," won much praise from critical theatre-goers of Portland, commences a week's engagement at the Mnrouam with a matinee performance today in ine jrower inat uoverns. Last Monoay a Denver ... .Republican says: - 'The company Is good, and that is the reason why 'The Power That Gov erns,' at the Tabor this week, is a suc cess. More than any other one thing It was the strong work of Creston Clarke that supported the production on the vercre of the ridiculous. Mr. Clarke was well supported by such act ors as AtKins, Lawrence, Harold le Becker, Gilbert Ross. William Lambert, Irene Oshler and Virginia Lawrence. The three acts are laid in Mexico, the first at a ranch house and the sec ond and third at a neighboring hotel Andrew Michael, an eastern man who has made a fortune in California gold the central figure around wnom the action of the play consistently revolves. hta youtn, oerore tne time ai wnicn the play starts, he has married a poor girl and deserted her because he feared hat she would kill his amDltion. His son bv that marriage is rouna on urn ranch in Mexico, living with his uncle, rnneh ehn.ra.cter wnose oniv ambition is to kill the man Who deserted his sls- er. Meanwhile that man has married again and has a worthless son whom he wishes to marry to the daughter or his business partner. AU tne' easterners are at the hotel. The daughter in aues tion Is lost in the hills and rescued by the eon of Andrew Michael, who rails in love with her. The match Is of course opposed by Michael.

Irene Oshler was charming in the leading female role, playing op posite Mr. Clarke; she has a great deal or facial and some vocal expression and she rose easily to the emotjonal "Gilbert Ross as secretary to the elder Michael, William Lambert In the role of a skulking Mexican and Virginia Lawrence in an incidental Ingenue role added color to the play." w George Alison ' Opens ' Today. Patrons of the Baker stock company are eagerly waiting for the opening this afternoon of George Alison, leading man, ho has been cast for the past four years, but who is still remembered as the best ltked actor who ever ap peared wtth the popular stock company In that capacity.

Despite the enormous salary lists the price of admission has been the same and there will be no Increase for Makmuri's engagement through the new week. The program supporting MacDowell and Miss Trescott Is made up of acts that measure well up to the high standard maintained by this lead ing vaudeville house.
