theatre. New York, where It ran for
over 800 nights. Is described as a clever
farce, well staged, and will be artistic
ally presented at the lleillg theatre this
evening.".-.'
'It Is filled with clean, wholesome fun,
ppnerouoly supplied with abundant caus
for laughter, and yet not wanting in that
cleverness which appeals to the intelli
gence and taste of the auditor.
The story . is that of a married roan
' who, having been- caught high in ths. air
bv a Ferris wheel, the machinery of
which has broken, endeavors to placate
Jils 'wife by telling her the truth, but
he does not believe him, so he resorts
to a lie. It is this apparently innocent
subterfuge that involves the husband,
wife and friends 4n all sorts of compli
cations that keep the audience In contin
ual laughter.
The players which will interpret this
"xoedingly clever farce have bwn se
lected with the utmost care. William
Bernard, an actor of splendid reputation,
heads the con.pany, and is ably assisted
bv Ij. Victor Gellard, Norval MacGregor.

"The Heir to the ttoorah." ' "
1 The1 first' Portland appearance of
Paul Armstrong's western play, "The
Hoir to the Hoorah," jn stock, will take

this favorite comedy will hold the
boards all week at the popular place ot
amusement. Amongst many other In
teresting features, the little Gleason

making his first appearance on any
stage.
"The Heir to the Hoorah" is one 6f
the-very best of all the western come
dies, and was first played by Guy Bates
Post, under the direction of Klrke La
Shelle. It's a winner, and there is lit
tle doubt but the Baker company will
score wonderful success with it, both
from the standard of clever acting, and
also as a box office magnet. The story,
which is generally familiar to all theatre-goers,
concerns Joe Lacey, a young
mlneowner, who lias Just married a
Newport society girl, the match having
been brought about by a scheming
mother for money reasons. Joe's ef
forts to please her and his evident sin
cere and manly love are filled with pa
thos and heart interest, while the des
perate efforts of his friends to meet
the requirements of fashion and good
form are laugh-producing in the ex
treme. In the end, of course, all
things are made right, a great ehango
coming xver Mrs. Joe Lacey, when tne
young heir makes his appearance upon
the scene. Love gains ascendancy over
all forms and conventionalities, and the
happiness of, every one is complete,
Th cast of the Baker Stock company
in the play will be as follows:
Joe Lacy, owner of the Hoorah mine,
George Alison; Dave Lacy, Joe's brother
and partner, James Gleason; Bud Young.
Jo's friend and partner, Howard Rus

is the Mecca for those who like this
sort of entertainment, which means
most people.
In addition to several comedians, a
prima donna, soubrette and a chorus,
who sing and dance and cut up. the en
tertainments are lengthened by the pro
vision of extra vaudeville specialties.
On the new program there will be three
of these supplemental vaudeville acts.
All the songs In ''The Merry Wrfdow"
(Return) .will be new to Portland. They
are of the catchy kind and will set the
boys whistling. As to the plot, there
will not be more story In the play than
will be necessary to serve as a peg for
a lot of amusing nonsense' and funny
business. The Star is now the only
place where musical comedies can be
seen regularly in Portland and If you
have not yet attended one of three
dally performances of the Armstrong
company there is an agreeable surprise
In store for you. Considering the price,
the people are seeing a corking big
show of fun.

Grand. Sullivan & Consldlne are show

which come in August. For this week,
for instance, commencing - tomorrow

tainment euA'h as could not be seen In
the east for twice the money. There
are eight acts on the bill and each one

"The Lady From Laramie."
Another great, offering will be sub
mitted to the public the shape of
the new western and English ' comedy
drama, "The Lady . From Laramie,"
which the Allen company-will produce a
the Lyric, commencing Monday night.
Always to the forefront, ' the Lyric has
secured this thrilling drama for the
first stock production on the Pacific
coast. It deals with the lives of a fam
ily of Wyoming people, the father being
a cattle king who desires that his
daughter and wife shall enter aristo
cratic English society. To that end they
go to England, and. while the first and
last acts occur In England, the greater
part of the story Is developed in Wyo
ming. The parts are all strong and distinct,
affording especial opportunities . for
Verna Felton, who plays the title role,
a rich ranchman's daughter: Forrest
Beabury, who plays the 'old Wyoming
cattle king, and several others that will
hold tne interest.
The action of the plav Is brisk and
tnrilllnr. there is a stronr comedv ele
ment, and enough pathos to suit the
romantic patrons. Tne production will
be complete in every respect. If you
like a rood, genuine plav that has all
tne elements or success, you will he de
lighted with "The Lady From Laramie."

Francia Wilson Coming.
The last time that Francia Wilson
visited this part of the country pro
ressionaiiy he was at the bead of a
big comic xpera organisation and was
hen generally accounted the foremost
of American comedians. Four seasons
ago he very wisely decided to; rive' np
playing the buffoon in fantastic raiment
in the musical entertainment and to de
vote his efforts to the more legitimate
field of straight comedy. In so doing
lie lost none of his prestige, but on the
contrary is said to have been the gainer
for the line of parts he is now playing',
not ofily give him greater opportunities
as art actor, but they offer unlimited
possibilities for the delightful Wilson
isms , and the- inimitable mannerisms
which have done so much to make the
popular comedian famous among the
atregoers. Charles Frohman, who has
presented Francis Wilson ever since he
left the comlo opera! field, has been ex
tremely fortunate In the plays he has
selected lor nis star, out m no instance
has his good fortune been greater than
BAKR STOCK. CO .
In the selection of the vehicle which
Mr. Wilson is so successfully using-this
season, a comedy by Charles Marlowe,

Wilson, of course, i the central figure
and as ha is on the stags most of. the
time, the fun . for an Instant never

Mr. Wilson with an exceptionally strong
supporting company and will present
him in "When Knightr Were Bold"-at
the Helllir theatre May 18, 19 and 20.

William Gillette, 'author of "Sherlock

Baker Jo great success. wJU. ajaln be
represented at that popular plaice of
amusement when his "Secret Service"
will be given for the week following
"The Heir to the Hoorah," and opening
next Sunday rnatincey May 17. It is an
intensely Interesting and powerfully
dramatic story of the government spy
service during the civil war. filled with
scenes one never forgets, and carrying
a story of heart Interest throughout-its'

Opening of the Oaks.
Sweet songs of all nations, graceful
dances from every country, costumes
of every land and old ballads and songs
of long ago. i These will make the open
ing of the Oaks Saturday. May H, me
lodious and pleasing. One of the great
features of the opening bill to be pre
sented at the Oaks will be the work
of Frans Rainer's original Tyrolese
singers and dancers from the ZillerthnJ.
This band of sweet singers which
first made themselves famous with
their sweet songs sung in the Alpine
village at the St. Louis exposition, will
come to Portland better equipped than
ever to charm their hearers. From the
little Ziller valley nestled away in the
Tyrolean Alps the band of singers has
brought the quaint yodling songs of
that country. Added to these is a reper
toire more extensive than that of any
other traveling concert company and
inludlng all of the national folk song
and airs which are so dear to the hart
of those who are wandering 'far away
from tbelr fatherlands.
The Tyrolese singers have made a
great record while In America and
though desiring to return to their
Alpine homes have been extended so
many Inducements that thev have deferred-
their return in response to these
requests. It is confidently expected
that their appearance at the Oaks will
be greeted with growing enthusiasm on
the part of the Portland public, for
seldom have the residents of the city

First Aid to Farmers.
A farmer in Ohio wrote to the de
partment of agriculture that he had
struggled for 20 years on an ,80-acre
farm heavl'y mortgaged but had been
unablo to reduce his debt, or rise above
n- poverty that made the bringing up
of his family a humiliation.
n nsked If there was any hope for
Mm upon the farm or If he might a
well give up tne ngm. ine aepan
ment requested that he make a detailed
report of his farm apd its soils and
upon this it based a plan of farming
which he was recommended to follow
to the letter. According to a writer in
The World Today, there was a profit
the first year of $2,000, and the de
partment believes that ultimately the
despised 80 acres can be made to yield
15,000 a year.
