Old Time Opera Coming.
It will be pleasing news to all classes
cf theatre goers to know that the Gil
bert and Sullivan Festival company,
presenting the most popular works of
! these famous suthors, "The Mikado,"
; "Pinafore," 'Taticnce,r and "The Pirates
cf Penzance," will be seen at the Hetllg
for the opening attraction of the 1912-11
season, beginning Sunday, September 1.

Miss Countiss In "Iler Own Way
For, her seventh and farewell week at
the Heillg. commencing Sunday, Aug
ust 25, Catherine Countlss has selected
Fitch's society comedy, "Her Own
Way," In which Maxlne Elliott scored
her first success as an Individual star
In New York and London. It has the
smart society flavor, with plenty of
characteristic Fitch epigrams, novel ef
fects and beautiful gowning, and ens
blea Miss Countlss to run the gamu
from the childishly gay to the deeply.
emotional. This romance of Georgian
CarTey, a-. New Tork TieTress, who risks
a rortune to save ner Drotner, ana wnose
soldier lover goes to the Philippines,
believing that she is to wed a wealthy
rival, begins with a children's party, 1
which delightful little Mayo Methot will
appear, and involves a big scene of emo
tion when Georgians receives false rc
port that the young officer has been
killed by the bolos of the little browi
Insurgents. The role enables Miss Coun
ties to rin the entire scale of woman s
nature Detier tnan anytning else sne
plays. One of the comedy novelties
Is where she has her hair "done up" by
a loquacious hair drepner, with a wide
vocabulary of slang and a cynically ha
morous view of her fellow creatures
As Miss Counties Is to return east, and
as her farewell to Portland admirers
is likely to bo a long one. they will
rally in full force during her remain
ing performances.
Clothes Important.
"Of all tho demands upon a leading
woman," says Catherine Countess, who
Is delighting summer patrons at the
Heillg, "none Is more serious than the
matter of clothes. She must dress ap
propriately, and in good taste, and be
able to undergo the coldest and most
analytic feminine scrutiny, or her com
mercial value Is Impaired.
"The cleverest actreos will not be accepted-if
she Is indifferent about her
attire. Just as play-goers Idealize their
favorites by endowing them with the
attributes of the characters assumed,!
so do they love to ses them decked In i
silks, satins and furbelows reflecting i
the latest modes.
"No matter how large the Income of :
a leading actress, she must expect to t
cut a great big hole In It for personal
stage adosnment. Evening gowna are,
of course, the most expensive, and run
from $50 to $300 each. Hats may be
counted at 'from $10 to $40; shoos at
$3 to $10; gloves at $1.60 to $5, and the
Incidentals are innumerable.
"Contrary to the accepted adages,
fine feathers do not always make ftne
birds, nor do clothes make the man,
but they are potential In the equipment
of an actress even If she be lucky
enough to be a paragQn of physical
loveliness or a marvel of intellectual
and artistic endowment
"As a matter of fact, beauty Is not
essential; brains are highly desirable,
but clothes are an absolute necessity
If a woman stago favorite expects to
retain her popularity.'.'
