KCE MORE "The Merry Widow" has come and gone and the peace
and quiet which have reigned since its departure would seem to indi
cate that the morals of the populace of Portland, or at least s many
as could crowd into the Bungalow, have not been seriously damaged
by its brief sojourn in the City of Roses. That more people did not see
this production was' wholly the fault of the size of the theatre. Add to
those who had seen it last year and wished to go again, all those who could
not afford to miss it this time, and the result was a foyer packed and over-
' flowing to the sidewalks at every performance.
More cosmopolitan audiences are not often seen in Portland. Next to
my lady in furs and diamonds, who ha-d come in her motor car, was a $10
clerk who had probably been saving the price of the ticket from the time
he knew the opera was coming. In front of him was an up-to-date couple
who go to everything and beyond them a dear old-fashioned pair who
probably had not been to the theatre for years. Mother was still wearing
her hair in the styl of a dozen years'ago, and father did not take off his
hat for five minutes after they weie- seated. In one box was. a bias

Ths' influx of young women to the
stage, says the Dramatio Mirror, Is even,
more significant of hopelessness than
that of young men. for various reasons.
Aside from the plays In which young
women are featured In mass and these
vehicles afford little opportunity for
artistic advancement and should b the
last resort for those who take stage
work seriously the drama calls for
fewer women than men. That is to say,
the cast of the average play requires
twice as many mn as women. Tet the
young women who seek the theatre out
number the young men two to one
Toung roen,and women should seek the
stage not as a first, but as a last resort.
And even then, ss a rule, their experi
ences will be bitter and disappointing
rather than in line with hope and expedition.
REFUSES- TO SELL HIS SECRET
It Is estimated that more than 70,000
saw Dr. Pauline In Seattle during his re
cent engagement there. The average
cost of admittance may be placed at 17
cents, which would make $14,100 that
Seattle paid to see this French scientist
and hypnotist.
Ills real name Is Joseph R. Ponlln.
Ills father was a Canadian and his
mother a Parlslenne. His father was a
surgeon and hypnotist, and had used
his control of the body and muscles in
surgical work. Dr. Pauline Is a pro
fessor of psychology, and for three
years held such a chair in the Uni
versity of Vermont.
The most remarkable thing done by
this hypnotist is his demonstration of
his ability to control the flow of blood
In the human body. He brings about a
cataleptic al;ate In the arm of his sub
ject, and then causes the blood to re
cede, leaving the hand perfectly white.
At his command the blood returns.
Physicians and scentlsts have tried to
Induce him to tell his secret and have
offered rich financial reward.
"But, I realize," said Dr. Pauline,
vthat this is the one feat that makes
my act 'ge -by in vaudeville. Now I
am drawing a substantial salary, and I
shall continue to draw It with my secret
locked In my chest. I figure that it
will nofc be reVealed tn less than a
quarter of a century, and by that time
I shall have made all the money I care
for."

Maud Powell, Violinist, Monday.
The world famous violinist, Maud
Powelt assisted by Waldemar Lia
ehowaky, will be heard In a grand re
cital at the Bungalow theatre tomor

artist has appeared here on several pre-
viousj occasions, and is undoubtedly one
of the greatest favorites of any musical
celebrity that has ever come to this

. The tone Miss Powell draws from
her Instrument is decidedly virile. It
Uomlnates rather than appeals, and for
this reason the artist is at her best

it must be meritorious play or he would
not be connected with it. It comes to
the Baker theatre for the week Btart
mg this arternoon, with a record of a
pronounced hit having been scored in
every city.
The scenes of the play are laid In the
west, but it is not a play of sensa
tionalism, the story being one of great
heart interest and being full of bright
artd taking comedy. No expense has
been spared in the way of proper stage
environment, correct costuming and pro
perties.
The company, which is headed by Ks
tha Williams, who Is well known here
for her splendid work as "Parepa" In

excellence and Includes such well

Music lovers of Portland will be glad
to learn of the engagement here of
Madame Mauricla Morlchlnl, the fa
mous oolatura soprano of HsmmeV-
stein's grand opera house, NewjTork.
This will be her only American appear
ance In vaudeville, which, by the way,
is a compliment ; td Martin Beck, who,
while visiting Paris, heard Tier sing and
called Mr. Hammersteln's attention to the
magnificent tone and quality of her
voice. She was immediately engaged
for the Metropolitan, and has since cre
ated a number of Important roles.
Madame Morlchlnl has a charming stage
appearance, and included In her selec-

people appear. - The performers appear
and disappear like magic and their
dancing is unusual. Dressed in white,
against a black background, the seven
people present a wlerd effect.
Six charming women compose the
Balton troupe. The aerial performance
of the six women is unlike anything
else that has been sent to Portland by
Sullivan St. Considlne.
Reese Prosper, who has been a vocal
star In the leading minstrel organiza
tions of the country, contributes a de
lightful singing and minstrel offering.

"At the North Pole" is an up-to-date
skit which Smith and Harris will give.
The recent discovery of the Pole make
this little offering the more timely.
Pete Baker, the comedian who tells
funny stories in dialect, is on the list
of fun makers and comes with new an
ecdotes. "The Village Lockup" is the
title of the act of Kelley and Went-

The scenlo and electrical effects which
form a part of the act are especlajjy

of the Eretto Brothers who come di

Great Britain, are new. Their head and
hand balancing is remarkable. Joe

Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To

melodies, will appea'r as star in the
charming comedy playlet entitled "The

The leading event of Interest this
week will be grand opera at the Bun
galow, with the return of the Lam
bardl Opera company for a week's en
gagement. The Lambardi aggregat'on
was here for a week's engagement last
year and showed the quality of' Its
work, which Is superior. At . that time
its splendid ensemble caused much
praise, for in these days of stardom too
little attention is often given to the
support.
Slgnor Lambardl lays stress on
chorus and orchestra, and they furnish
as much delight to Portland's discrim
inating muslo lovers as did the ex
cellent work of the principals. The or- i
chest ra was under excellent leadership
and showed itself thoroughly imbued
with the "spirit of the work. The chorus
was a potent factor toward success. It
was large and well organlaed, and it
was easy to detect that the personnel
was made up of trained voices.
The principals last year fulfilled an,
surpassed all , expectations. Even to
the smallest solo parts the voices were
good. Some wer astonishing in. their
beauty. Madame Ferrabinl, for 1 In
