While "The Man on the Rox" Is essentially a Comedy, there are several exceedingly strong dramatic ait uatlons Involved in the plot, and many good actlnar parts besides the leads. Mlas Jewel will play the role of the girl, and Sydney Ayres that of the man whose reckless and carefree disposition gets them ail in such serious trouble.

She Is ' descended on both Idas from a long line of famous mu 1901 wife, and supposing her husband dead tries to win her love. She refuses him, however, and for revenge he abducts her two children. They are eventually rescued by their father and are happily united, and the villains arrested. .It If said that Mr. Carter has departed' f rorfi his usual style In writing this play, and depends more on the beautiful story of the piece for success than on scenic or mechanical effects. The first set, opens at the office of Inspector Sharp, where the villainous plans are laid. The last scene of the act shows the old ware house on fire, and the rescue of the detective. The secend act shows street scene in Chicago. The third is laid in the den pf thieves, where the children are held captive. Act four is the home of the thieving Inspector and capture of, the gang.

Of course such a play can only be ob tained by payment of a large royalty, and there are few stock companies In the country capable of playing It as it should be. but Portland Is favored by a manager who Is willing to take chances with his public and a company that hss proved Itself highly erycieni t .. .1... t hl.M 114 c , ci J in.io vi yia w "Hip Hip Hooray" Coming.

' And temperament Is not all that Miss Glose has to show. She sings well, olavs well, has lots of magnetism, a rreat deal of stvle. Is rid u ant. and wondrous good looker. She has another attraction constantly with her a most devoted mother, who never Is out of earshot from her daughter. But Mrs. Glose has her own charms, and so she Is never In the way. It is a strange coincidence that brings both Miss Glose and Eugenie Barker together again. Some years ago when they were both working very hard at their profession, they bad the same teacher,- and were in each other s com pany a great deal. This teacher was Adolf Glose, the father of Augusta Glose. He Is the only teacher that his daughter has ever had, and he Is very proud of his pupil. Oh, I will tell you about rny family tree, which, large and old. Is not a 'shady one,'" said Miss Glose., "My grandfather on mother's side, was Carl Welse. He will be remembered by tha f.eople of the last generation as the enor wh6 sang with Jennie Llnd, and who later sang .with Patti. He must have had a wonderful voice. ' "My father' father was not allowed to study music, as his father considered tt fceneath av man to be musical. The poor man decided that he would take up the commercial side. If he could not help with the artistic side of music, a-nd so) he established a piano factory In Germany. - I have often seen old pianos on the continent, and a few in America, with the jiame "Olose' on the cover. Wouldn't it De nice lor ma to have ona of them . .. ... . 'Well, my grandfather said that his children should ot be deprived of the joy of life, as ha was, and he gave them all good musical educations. I- now have two maiden aunts In Philadelphia who are supporting themselves by their ?usic, and father Is teaching in New ork and doing concert work. -"My going on the stage was all an accident. I had Intended going on with my music for three years more and coming out as a pianist. X was on the point of sailing for Paris to study with Mm a.

It Is a guarantee of Its ex cellence that It was written by Edgar Smith. , muslo -composed by Ous Ed wards, and staged by Julian Mitchell. The. full Broadway production will be seen here. It Is one of tha most ax pensive entertainments on tha road. As successors to Weber and Fields, Rice and Cady are meeting with unqualified success. "We Are King" Coining.- .

Miss Anna Gifford, la "Little Johnny Jones." which comes to the Baker thea tre this week, likes to play one night stands. The attraction Miss Gifford finds lies In the amusing Incidents and occurrences which constantly come to her notice In the smaller towns. In a certain town In Iowa Miss Gifford was invited to attend a meeting of the Wo man's club. She. accepted . the Invita tion. The principal lecturer was a maiden lady who -talked of, "What Wo men Can Do." Id expounding her claim to superloflty, the lecturer said:' "A woman can hold more clothespins In her mouth and talk through a knot hole in the fence at the seme time, than a man can. Six women can talk at once and get along all right. Men can't do this. She can button her shoes with both feet on the floor. She is cool as a cucumber in half a oosen tight dresses. A man will perspire like a horse and growl In ope loose snirt." Miss Clifford is the clever newspaper woman in the tuneful and popular Cohan play. It will be presented at popular ? Hoes In Portland for the first time his week. , Heading the company this year, as last is Billy Keongh. as "The Un known," one of Cohan's most, unctous characters.
