"-" Albert Chevalier W' lleUlg. '
The attraction at the Holllg tonight
3 aa 8:15 o'clock; will, be the world's great
S ant character - actor. Albert Chevalier,
3 assisted by Edna .Blanche Showalter.
9 prima donna soprano, and the famous
2 American basso,. Myron W. Whitney.
Chevalier la am artist, for ha is a poet
2 as well as a comedian, a humorist aa
i well aa a mime.' In th exquisite beau-
ty and delicacy of his sentiment and
- his humor you cab see the French and
I Italian and Celtic strain. But there la
an English breadth In his comic force.
The tears that Chevalier makes you
i shed are not maudlin tears. They are
' tears that make your soul wiser and
nobler, and purer and tenderer, for
they arc the product of honest, direct
I and unsophisticated emotion.
There Is no mean malice In his mlm
lory and his caricature, for all he does
! la .steeped In pity and sympathy and
! compassion.- There la '"rlcn "Dieien-
3 Stan t, Quality In Chevalier's art, a
S strange .touching power of making ec
centrlclty and extravagance appear
more tearfully and more laughably hu
I man than humanity. Dickens made us
! love his fantastic caricatures because
: ha made us wince at their, simple hu
' man reality. Chevalier makes us wince
i In the same way. We are what he
Imm nam A what k mvu anri a m a r a
transfigured Into the common life of
1 common humanity. Dickens does that
I and Burns does it. and Chevalier does
I It. 'and we feel better for their doing
f It.; Anour with Chevalier is a re
lease Of the soul, an expansion of the
spirit, an enlarging of the good broad
! human humor that is the very breath
n our lungs, and the very blood in our
hearts.

Especial price matinee Wednesday, -and
2 the medium for that popular actor's

S a comedy called "Smith," in which Mr.
Drew won remarkable success during
three ' months at the Empire theatre.
New York, from which house it comes

supporting company and splendid
scenic equipment intact. This new play
Is. by:W. Somerset Maugham, author of
5 "Ijafly Frederick." "Jark Straw" and
j other pieces which have found ready
a favors with playgoers. While consist-
Ins; mainly Of delightful comedy, bright
3 repartee and well directed satire, It has
nevertheless Its serious side with ap-
2 pealingly human moments. It Is a set-
3 ting forth of the truth that the family
is the real basis of a republic that rctut

J audience, through "Smith." In his sup

w ' t
May Robson at Ileillg Thursday.
There Is no reasonable argument
against success. Numerous conjectures
explanatory and otherwise are advanced,
but If on examines Into the successful
undertakings theatrically and commer
cially he finds It is merit and effort
and not accidental.
For Instance, "The Rejuvenation of
Aunt Mary," as presented by May Rob-
son. Is an illustration. Here we have
a bright and particularly funny comedy
presented by an unuualy clever .ac
tress, the personality of an old maid.
her first visit to New Tork, and her
experiences ably illustrated by clever
impersonation hence merit and suc
cess. Mies Robson duplicated this success
In London at Terry's theatre. An Eng
lish audience is severely critical over
American plays, but In this case, the
comedy is pure, bright and very funny,
and Miss Robson as Aunt Mary won
immediate recognition. The freerlng
attitude of that British audience melt
ed, and Miss Robson was In the sun
shine of popularity. She carried them
with her with shouts of laughter, and
the staid, dignified newspapers ef Lon
don elated and even bubbled over Miss
Robson and her play, expressing their
opinion that Miss Robson's character
ization had not been equalled by an
English player of recent years. The
theatre-going public wag Interested, and
Miss Robson's engagement was extend
ed from three weeks to eight.
Miss Robson, with the original com
pany, will appear at the Hellig Thurs
day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
nights. June 22. 23, 24 and 25, with
special priced matinee Saturday. Seats
go on sale Tuesday, June 20.
"Knockout" Bill at Orpheum.
After the first few rounds with the
performers on the new bill at the Or
pheum Monday afternoon, the audience
will be compelled to hoist the white
flag. It Is a big show in :every respect,
the least important thing being the
number of people in the acts, and for
whose accommodation it has been"found
necessary to construct extra dressing
rooms under the, stage.
Occupying the place of .honor will be
the musical comedy 'company sent out
by Jesse L. Lasky with his latest pro
duction, "The Photo Shop." numbering
20 performers. The production is by
far the most pretentious ever booked
for a tour of the vaudeville circuit and
its roster of principals contains tho
names of such excellent performers as
Miss Mamie Fleming, Charles . J. Stine
and Eugene Redding. . The chorus of 12
women and men possesses the advan
tages of being good to look upon aa
well as being singers and excellent danc
ers. The playlet represents the work
of Otto Huerbach and Earl Hoschna,
in condensing comic opera to SO min
utes of time for vaudeville purposes. as
they are the authors of "Madame Sher
ry" and the "Three Twins," It may fee
taken for granted that their lyrics and
music in 'The Photo Shop" will be
bright ahd entertaining.
Not a whit less entertaining will be
the musical turn submitted by the fa
mous Gene Greene and Charles Straight
Oreene possesses a beautiful voice and
uses it for character Impersonations. In
tho same class is "General" E4Laviue,
who has aoldleriut all Ma Ufa anit lalma

lasy jugglers. Lavlne is grotesque In
his makeup, has a unique stage setting
and Is in reality one of the cleverest
Jugglers of the age.
Something to set the nerves a tingle
will be the whirling dervishes of the
roller skates, the Marvelous Rexos, to
whom acrobatics are as easy as If stand
lag, in- rosined sho. . Europa will con
tribute the Marcel and Boris Trio of
equilibrists who come direct from South
ampton to open their American tour In
Portland.
The sketch, without which vaudeville
Is not complete, will be a humdinger.
It is a race track story of an honest
jockey in which Harry Sullivan presents
a capable company. A feature of the
production will be the. presentation of
the running of the race in which "The
Favorlte'r Is entered through the use
of moving pictures.
Miller and Lyle are a-pair of funny
black face comedians who make use of
their "BlesBed Ignorance" to keep the
house in an uproar for a 15 minute peri
od. "In and Out" the sketch which has
proved o popular during the past week,
will be seen for the last time at the
matinee and night performances today.
w
Laughing Bill at the Grand.
Following the comedy bill which
closes with the Sunday performances.
Sullivan & Consldlne are sending a sec
ond big laughing bin. There is not a
sob nor a cry In, It and only tears of
laughter. The headllner Is Lew , Haw
kins, the - Chesterfield Of minstrelsy.
What Joe Welch la to the Hebrew char
acter, Hawkins is to the colored man.
Hawkins looks only 'on the bright' side
of life and everything he does' Is calcu
lated to provoke a smile. He played the
Grand onoe before and scored heavily.
This time he comes with new material
and is said to be even funnier than he
was on the former engagement.
For the special added attraction the
management announces Barnard's Mani
kins. During the past three years these
figures have been a laughing success
in Europe and they are now making
their first visit to the Pacific coast
For the American Invasion the figures
are seen in a coon town comedy. This
act will riot only please the grownups
but every youngster in Portland will be
tickled to death with them.
"Fresh From College" is a rattling
good comedy with plenty of comical
situations and not enough plot to hurt
Paul Chase and company are seen In
this sketch and the playlet Is the best
that Chase has written. It is certain
to drive away the most chronic case of
blues. ;x
Tho Wilsons will give an instrumental
number. "An Evening In a Colonial Gar
den." Here is a dignified, well costumed
act, with elaborate scenery and lighting
errecta ana a musical program that can
not but charm all who hear it ;
Pearl Young Is a dainty little woman
with a good : voice. She accompanies
herself at the piano and gives piano
logue which la away from the beaten
track. ','.-;-,
Two f dandy , dancers are Bliss and
Ross. What they do not know Aant
using their feet is not worth knowing.
buss mnq jcvobs are a mua .Better than
the average clever stepping act, and
that is saying a good deal. There will
be pictures on the Grandaacope, of
course. . '
Sunday will see the last of the crack

laugh at the Grand all the past week.
Joe Welch, the celebrated Hebrew char
aat8rcomftie a-, i'fceadtttg" the bill." The
Rathskeller Trio have also made a hit
with their singing and comedy and Ger
trude Spencer is a songstress who has
made herself popular locally. Sprague'

roller skating acts, and several other
very excellent specialties are on this
exceptionally strong program.

will be the headllner of a bunch of big,
live vaudeville acts Manager George L.
Baker has booked fof hi opening week
of summer vaudevliw and phetoplaya

the extremely low admission rates to be
charged. But there will be ,others-r-a
lot of them all of whoso names hav
been featured on the big vaudeville cir

their own peculiar manner of rendering
them.i The motion pictures will also be

new films never before seen here.
But watch out for Phroso. He will
do an automobile ; drive -through the
street and even go out into the princi
