The Baker will open its season next Sunday evening, the first attraction be ing the famous little comlo opera star, Grace Cameron, at the head of her own company of 60 people In her latest suc cess, "Utile Dolly Pimples." There will be many celebrated musical come dies visit Portland during the course t" of the coming- season, but none which will make more of a decided Impression or create more of a real sensation among theatre goers and lovers of music than this one. Miss Cameron is one of the best known of the comic opera stars of the class specified as "dainty and pi quant," and will be delightfully re membered by all theatre goers for ner charming work In "The Bostonlans." "The Tenderfoot," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and especially In "Plff, Paff. PoufT," the great Casino theatre success of New York. The sale of seats for this opening at traction of the season at the Baker will commence at the box office next Thurs day morning at 10 o'clock. There will be no Sunday matinee, as the company will not arrive In time for the after noon performance. The Baker has al ways held a first place In the hearts of Portland theatregoers, and Is one of the best situated and most home-like theatres In the west. with the new order of things, whereby the big musical romedy and dramatic successes which have never before appeared here at other than top prices, will he seen at the Baker at prices within reach of every one. Indications point to a highly pros perous year for the popular downtown place of amusement. - The Orpheum It's Attractions. The bill for the opening -week of the Orpheum theatre, which closes tonight. Is the first In vaudeville ever shown In Portland, and the ooming attractions beginning Monday matinee is another all-star booking. The Portland theatre goers have placed their stamp of ap proval on the advanced vaudeville as shown by the crowded houses during the opening week. Much has been heard of the attractions presented In trie playhouses on the circuit, but it remained for the opening week to show the public. They have been shown, and t-0 their satisfaction. The bill of at tractions offered for the following weels commencing Monday matinee will fur ther demonstrate the right of the Or pheum people to the exalted position . they have attained and maintained for o many years. A -merry-go-round of music, melody ;3nd mirth Is the pleasing title given lv Alf. Grant and Ethel Hoag to their ef forts at entertaining. This team hns appeared In New York productions for several years ana tnis is their nr. it ap i Dearance on the Pacific coast. .John and Mae Burke are showing In a clever little musical comedy act by Win M. Creasy, styled How Patsy Went to War. Patsy Is a messenger - boy and enlists as a raw recruit In the army, and the trials and tribulations of the "raw" in learning the discipline of army life and the manual of arms keeps the audience In a continuous uproar. The International favorites, John W. World and Mlndell Kingston's sketch. "It Isn't What They Do It's the Way They Do It." is one continuous round of pleasure, and Mr. World simply clinches the reputation he established years ago of beln one of the best comedians In vaudeville. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Connelly present a delightful little playet, "Sweethearts," which depicts true to life the cooing lover and the bashful maiden. One of the most striking vaudeville novelties to be seen here this season will be the latest production of Jesse I... Iasky, entitled "A Night on a House boat." The novel scenic setting Is that of an elaborate double-decked house boat, gaily decorated with garlands, flags and lanterns, and enlivened by a party of young people and their chap erone, all "enjoying a summer outing. Martinnettle and Sylvester, two re markably agile and s-trenuous come dians, who are often called "The Boys With the Chairs," provide a novelty in acrobats. While Joe Plyvester Is a well known clown, dark Martinnettle Is a remarkable athlete, and together they occupy 3 0 minutes of hilarious laughs and most astounding bumps The distinction of being the first woman to do a black face turn la ne- ' 'corded Miss Bertie Herron. "The Orig inal Minstrel Miss" is whst she Is familiarly called. After h(-r sucefss with Wayhurn t Minstrel Mixfes, Miss Herron pl;mn"1 a single act In which "he applied the burnt cork in view of tl e audience nnd he has met with fir;" fin-tsi Th Orpheum moving pictures are also one ot the features of the bill. New Rill at rantages. The coming week promises to see an exceptionally strong vaudeville enter tainment at the Pontages theatre- Their New York booking agents have collected a great array of artists for the new bill commencing at Monday's ma'tlnee. The Bottomley troupe, aerial acrobats, have first place on the new program. too much cannot be said of this great aggre gation. Thelre is positively one of the greatest casting acts before the public The aerial work of this troupe has never been duplicated by eny other com pany of acrobats In America The sec ond feature on the bill Is the Whang doodle quartet, four genuine comical un- lleachd Americans rrom juxie uiro.

If ho keeps on he will be giving the patrons a Broadway produc tion for nothing. But It is not alone the delightful shows put on by the Allen Curtis com pany that have attracted the crowds to the park this year. The average enter tainments of the preat nmusement re sort have been far better than in pre vious years. The delightful spot among the overhanging "nk trees has been the favorite picnic gro.unds of the year. The attractions hne been of the kind that ternpt and lure one from the staidness of conventional life, and Portlanders are growing more and more accustomed to taking advantage of the clean and healthy amusements which the Oaks management has prepared for them. The proof of all this Is found In the fact that the oaks attendance this year has been far in excess or any previous season. Here are a few of the musical hits to be heard this week In the Atrdome: "A Lemon In the Garden of Lovp," I've Taken Quite a Fancy to You," ' pride of the Prairie," "A Rare Old Bird.'' "Just Because He Couldn't Sing." "Love Me and thu World Is- Mine," 'Insanity,'' "What's the Use of Dreaming?" "Every body's In Love With Salome." "The Confessions of a Wife." The reopening of the new Blunkall stock company, which occurs tljls aft ernoon, will be an event. The organ ization contains a long list of favorites, starting with Ervln J.
