Jft-
AST night saw the finale of one
I of the most notable and record
I breaking theatrical engagements
in Portland for many long
moons' that of Max Flgman
and his company at the Helllg. For a
.. month Mr. Flgman has made duck and
drakes of summer dullness and haa
packed the commodious Heillg to the
doors at every performance and then
turned numbers away. It was no un-
, common sight to ace a line from the
box office to Yamhill street, which
goes to prove that a happy comblna-
tion of theatre beautiful, good com
pany, enjoyable plays and popular
prices will win nut any time. Mr.
Flgman could remain longer with profit
If the regular season of 1911-12 was
not to open tomorrow nlgkt with Henry
Miller, who pays his first visit In eight
years.
Rumblings of the Baker's opening as
a eombination house are growing loud
er and well materialise September 10,
iwlth the "Sunny Side of Broadway."
Unusually good vaudeville offer
ings were on hand last week with
- Noodles Fagan, ex-newsle, much In the
limelight at the Empress. The Or
pheum .promises two clever headllners
for this week, and taken all In all,
things theatrical are beginning to doff
summer lethargy and assume the brisk
ness of the fall season.

PROMISES MADE BY
THE PRESS AGENTS
tr-
Henry Miller at Helllg Tomorrow
, The Helllg will open the new season
of 111-1J with one of the strongest
dramatic attractions of the coming
'year. Tomorrow night, September 4,
Henry. Miller, the famous actor-manager,
who has not been seen. In this city
for eight sean, will return in the
j most emphatic suecejM ha has ever pro
duced. U. S. Sheldon's gripping three
set trama. 'The Jiavoc". , Mr. Miller
haa btten more actively engaged In the
produfton of play than In the acting
At TMt. v ' 1 " '' 1 -yv
of them since "The Great Divide" ended
Its famous two years' run in New York,
but last season he reappeared on Broad
way in the most powerful play be has
ever presented, and this new vehicle,
"The Havoc,'' not only repeated the
success achieved by "The Great Di
vide," but won from every newspaper
and magazine critic in the American me
tropolis the unanimous opinion that Mr.
Miller had found his greatest role and
one in which he was doing by all odds
the most powerful and brilliant acting
of his career.
"The Havoc" ran all year at the Bijou
theatre in New York and the actor
manager has traveled direct to the Pa'
ciflo coast to open his second season in
the Sheldon play before beginning an
other long run at the Blackatone theatre
in Chicago. This booking arrangement
enables Portland playgoers to see "The
Havoc," while it Is still in the flush of
success and before it Is presented In
the big cities of the east adjacent to
New York.
Mr. Miller's reappearance In Port
land after an eight years' absence brings
up recollections' of his many triumphs
nere in rormer years. He did not visit
this city In "The Great Divide." but his
famous interpretations of Sidney Car
ton in 'The Only Way," Etc Temple in
"Heartsease," D'Arcy In "D'Arcy of the
Guards," and other striking dramatlo
characters Btlll haunt the memories of
theatregoers who admire great acting.
In "The Havoc" Mr. Miller has found
more than a companion role to the big,
dominant characters he portrayed In
"The Only Way" and 'The Great Di
vide." Mr. Miller will give four per
formances of "The Havoc" at the 'Hel
llg. one of which will be a special
Wednesday matinee. He will be sup,
ported by exactly the same company
that appeared with him during the long
run In New York. Absolutely every role
will be played In Portland by the actor
who created the character on Broadway.
First Musical Play at Helllg.
So many good things have been said
about the much talked of musical com
OT2.TH ANT- Ul
edy. Mort H. Singer's "Miss Nobody
from Starland." the first big musical
show of the season which will be the
Helllg offering for six nights commenc
ing Friday, September H, with special
price matinees Saturday and Wednes
day, that playgoers who have not seen
the fascinating Hough, Adams and
Howard success are -eagerly waiting an
opportunity of seeing It.
Olive Vail, well known by her suc
cess In this as well as other Singer pro
ductlons, will head a large rant of
clever principals, among whom are Rob
ert H. Wilson, Bertie Beaumont, Law
prence Comer, Joseph H. Nelmeyer, Bert
Morton, and there will be a typical
Singer chorus, that Is, a 'lot' of pretty
girls who can really sing and dance.
Aside from the many whistly num
bers produced by JOHeph E. Howard
and the spectacular production which
dazzles In Its scenic and costume dis
play, ths phenomenal hold that "Mies
Nobody from Starland" possesses upon
the publlo favor Is largely due to Its
novelties. The opening act Is on the
deck of a great ocean liner. Lusltanla.
Here the delightful plot, with no end of
surprises, is developed on a moving
sea. Then there Is the big dress re
hearsal scene, a laugtiter inspiring me
dium whereby the auditor is permitted
to gaze behind the scenes and watch
the frantic manager and his trembling
(T) subjects, the players, give a final
rehearsal of a new musical comedy,
"Miss Nobody from Starland" has for
its sponsor a record run of 800 nights
at the Princess theatre in Chicago, lain
of seats Wednesday, September 6.
Two Headllners at Orpheum.
With the lovely singing comedienne,
Lilly Lena, and the versatile, humorist
and- Thespian, Edwin Stevens, Jointly
headlined at the top of the double bill
Monday afternoon at the Orpheuin will
witness the introduction of a tremen
dous week in vaudeville. And like the
Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey will
have enough delicious trimmings to)
make the banquet a success.
On two previous occasions Portland
playgoers have opened their arms to
Miss Lena and have reveled in her wln
someness, the chasm of her voice and
have "oh'd" as she almost approached
the risque, laughing at their own con
fusion as the lovely Lena darted away
from danger like a bird on the wing. A
cousin of Alice Lloyd, there are many
who hold Miss Lena to be the more
attractive Lilly Lena comes this year
with an entire new repertoire, among
them being .the tuneful and catchy
Take It Nice and Easy." The little
singer Is also prepared to maintain, her
renutatloa as one of the best dressers
ori any stage.
On the honor roll of The American
stage no name stands higher than that
of Edwin Stevens. Aided by Miss Tina
Marshall, the playlet of comedy, song
and dancing, "Cousin Kitty," will be
his vehicle for his Portland engage
ment. Mr. Stevens is known as an
actor, humorist, student and dignified
gentleman. His comedy is of the very
highest character and appeals to the
Intellect. r
Delightful from every viewpoint will
be the Four Elles In their presentation j
of ensemble dances, among which are
the Brazilian Brigand and Pantomimic
numbers, while In John W. World and
Mlndel Kingston will be seen one of the
great features from the Follies of 1810,
Miss Kigston Introducing her coat of
sparkles.
More than the usual novelties have
been arranged in the appearance of the
Australian Woodchoppers and Paull
nettl and Piquo. The latter are seen lrt
an acrobatlo burlesque that produces a
laugh with every breath.
Mumford and Thompson In "humoro
sltles," will close the bill.
'The Little Goddess" closes Its pres
ent engagement with thS matinee and
night performanpea todair.
i
Bill of Winners at Empress.
The thousands of people who attend
ed the Empress, the past week are as
sured that starting with the Monday af
ternoon performance there will be a
vaudeville program of as high grade
quality as that , now closing. For the
headline attraction Sullivan A Consldlne
are sending Gerard,, the world's great
est heavyweight. Gerard Is making his
first tour of the west and comes recent
ly Imported from England, where he was
a sensation at the Tivoli theatre, Lon
don. Gerard has an assistant who pro-,
vides the comedy for the act.
An act which will be a riot with the
Empress patrons will be the Russell ft
Smith minstrels. In a tabloid show of
old time minstrelsy. There are six
people in the company and each one is
a recruit from the blackface companies
and each is a star. Fred Russell has
been a star with Haverley's Primrose
& West and Docket rader; Joe McGee
was with Al G. Fields as a feature and
Willlani McKenna was principal bari
tone In that company; Harry Smith was
Interlocutor with Leonard's and George
T. Martin, was tenor soloist with Cohan

dancing and comedy. Special scenery
Is carried for the act.

to hear Mr. Llnd In popular priced vau
deville. Mr. iilnd essays the role of the
old opera singer in search of his lost
daughter among the gay, white. -light
of Broadway: pathos and comedy are
happily intermingled and Mr. Llnd
handles the stellar role in admirable
manner. His support la' excellent.
