HEILIG Reginald De Koren'a "R(Aln
Hood," which will be given an
elaborate revival at the Hellig theatre
three nights beginning Thursday, Oc
tober 1, with a cast of grand and light
opera singers, has enjoyed distinctions
that seldom fall to the lot of a work
, Of this kind.
' In the first place, It was the vehicle
that made the Bostonlans famous, and
' Barnabee made the statement in his
' memoirs that the organisation might
UU be Intact, could it have found an
other opera like "Robin Hood."
Moreover. "Robin Hood" has probably
' been the opening attraction at more new
: .theatres than any other piece In the
history of music or drama. The Bos
tonlans had a standing order with the
booking powers to give thetn first chance
. at the new theatres, and the local man
s ager was always glad to have them, aa
- It assured a packed house, and a social-
tend-off.
Another distinction that fell to "Robin
Hood" and Its composer, was that It
was'-the first American work to be
given In London, where It attained quite
a degree of success, the Englishman be
- lng Interested In the legend of this fa-
inous outlaw.
The crowning glory, however, and a
: distinction that has fallen to no other
. American composer of light opera, was
an Invitation to play "Robin Hood" In
the open air at the Greek theatre of
the University of California. A packed
auditorium, and that meana 6000 people,
enjoyed the beautiful airs and brilliant
Co stumps, which lost none of their
' lustre In the sunshine. The accoustic
properties of the Greek theatre are near
. ly perfect, and the singers were warned
" to speak In. a normal voice, which they
did, their voices being plainly heard to
the topmost seats. '
There will be a matinee at the Heillg
. on "Saturday.
BAKER Portland's boys and girls are
coming in this week for their turn
at' the popular Baker theatre where,
"Pen rod," recognised as the character
which made Booth Tarkington famous,
mill hold forth for a week's run begin
nlng with the matinee this afternoon at
S :J.
Director Gilbert has laid out an at
tractive program for the young and old,
1 tor "Penrod" is popular with all. The
Baker company will be augmented by
the addition of five local children. Two
, little colored boys will be In the cast
t They are Casper Mann and Francis
Fair. The little white boys will be Rob-
- ert Russell and Bob 4Cn!ghL The char
acters from "Verman" to "Herman" anH
back again to Fenrod's father and moth-
er are typical American delineations.
The story runs through four acts, cov-
- erlng - the life and doings of Penrod
' and his family, and playmates, and the
,; situations arising are novel. It Is a
truly American play, full of comedy
' of the right sort. Penrod is clean and
" wholesome. .

prankish singing, dancing and talking
number. Their fun verges on the gro
tesque, and as a pair of misfit Tommy

of Jackies they kre said to provide 15
minutes of solid laughter.
Gill and Veak are a couple said to
have a gift for comedy and utilize fa
miliar opportunitiea for fun tn a cafe

that they resort to neither song nor
dancing to add to their comedy.
The Aerial Macks, two artists well
known in this city, are scheduled for a
frolic In midair. This couple Is con
spicuous for their swift and thrilling
feats on the trapexe high above the

Show Business
In France Needs
Financial Help
Paris, Oct 2. Unless the French
government consents to award them
another half-million francs yearly . by
way of subsidy, the famous triumvirate
of classical French playhouses, the
Opera, Opera-Comique and Comedie-
Francaise,. may have to close.
Their subsidy, is already more than
three million francs apiece. In spite of
the high cost of their seats the Opera
and Comedle-Francalee have never
known a financial success. The Opera
Comique is more popular, but invariably
shows a substantial deficit every year.
Some critics affirm that if the French
taste has so degenerated that not
enough people go to see classical plays
to make them a paying venture, that
the state shrould withdraw its support
or (urn the theatres Into popular play
houses, -where plays more appealing to
the present-day mind could be shown.
