BAKERr-rThe Baker theatre presents
this week, beginning with the mat
inee this afternoon, one of the cleverest
comedies ever written. It is "The Coun
try Cousin," by Booth Tarklngton and
Julian Street, and produced by Klaw &
Erlanger and George C Tyler.
Three years ago when the play was
produced at the Gaiety theatre In New
Tork it had a run for six months pro
nounced one of the most successful in
the history of the theatre. Director Gil
bert expects that the play, as produced
here, with new scenery and by new faces
In the Baker company, will repeat the
New Tork presentation without the
Broadway crowds.
The story deals with a conventional
- young woman of Centreville, Ohio, who
longs' for '"the great white way" and
the "bright lights" which go with it
She is easily lead astray and lured away
by a tempter none other than her own
father, whom she haa not seen in years,
.-and who, in the meantime, has married
.again. The girl's fortune is soon dissi
. pated, and all would be rone but for the
advent of the : "country cousin," who
appears on the " scene In time to rescue
her relative from the unscrupulous pair.
The play runs four acts, and there is
action every minute. Director Gilbert
, of the Baker company haa acquired new
' scenery and the staging effects will
. equal anything seen here on a local
stage.
The - usual matinees, today, Wednes
day and Saturday, will prevail and the
special Monday bargain night tomorrow
will be enjoyed by thousands.
LYRIC An old stagedoor watchman
1 keeping the Johnnies away from the
Rosebud chorus la the part handed' to
Clarence Wurdig on his homecoming to
the Lyric Musical Comedy company.
Wurdig doesn't get a real job watching
the outer dooi he does it only on the
stage in "Follies of 1920."
Clarence Wurdig is a popular baritone.
For the last few months he haa been
singing in a Los Angeles musical stock
eompany and his return to -Portland is
.. pleasing to many Lyric patrons. Not
only is Wurdig a fine singer, but he is
an excellent character actor as well.
The troubles of i musical stock com
pany at rehearsal have been drama-
tiaed by Director Ben T. Dillon for
"Follies of 1920." The orchestra quit
jt.x . tr jr..
V it
after many wild wrangles and Mike and
Ike are sent for to play for the solo
ists and the Rosebud chorua. But the
stagehands do not take kindly to the
new orchestra and Dooley and Leschin
ski have a terrible time trying to please
their employers. I
Miss Dorothy Raymond gives a fine
reception in her beautiful home and
everyone in the company is Invited, in
cluding the mixed-pickle orchestra.
Vaudeville
ORPHEUM Only jsix performances
of Orpheum vaudeville will be pre
sented at the Heilig this week, as the
Orpheum management has relinquished
the usual Wednesday matinee to the
Heilig Theatre company, on account of
the engagement of "Chu Chin Chow."
This arrangement necessitates closing of
the Orpheum show with the performance
Tuesday night The regular patrons of
the Orpheum matinee Wednesday will
be accommodated with tickets for the
Monday or Tuesday ! matinee, as they
desire, Millroy A. Anderson, the Orphe
um treasurer, having set tickets aside
for this purpose.
The new Orpheum show has two head
line attractions and. ; like the show of
last week, it has been very popular on
account of its prevailing comedy. The
headliners are the Cameron sisters, so
ciety's daintiest entertainers,: and Wil
liam Gaxton . and company In "The
Junior Partner," which was written
especially for big-time vaudeville by the
famous Rupert Hughes.
Dorothy and Madeline Cameron ex
emplify pictorial art applied to the
stage. Their appearance alone is a
feast . They are most attractive young
women, pretty, smart, chic and fault
lessly groomed. The Misses Cameron
have been favorites in vaudeville for
some time. They left the two-a-day
realm recently to become the dancing
feature of "So Long Letty."
William Gaxton, the Joint headllner
with the .Cameron sisters, was dis
charged recently from the navy and his
Orpheum engagement; marks his return
to vaudeville. Gaxton Is a light com
edian of tried and true quality. His
performance In "Kisses," a one-act
whimsicality, was one of the delights of
the season, and when Douglas Fairbanks
quit vaudeville for the pictures, it. was
Gaxton who replaced him in the principal
role of "A Regular Business Man.
Other acts of the new ehow are Bob
Murphy and Elmore ; White in a peppy
arrangement of tunes and laughs ; James
McCormiek and Eleanor Irving in "Tell
ing the Truth." by Ben Ryan ; Charlie
Wilson, the loose nut from the tree of
laughter; Hubert Dyer, assisted by Ben
Coyne In an act that wins a laugh a sec
ond; Kitty Thomas, a mite of personal
ity; Klnograms and Topics of the Day,
accompanied by the Orpheum's exclus
ive views of Oregon scenery in color,
and a concert orchestra under direction
of George E. Jefferyi
i
T)ANTAGES For the week commencing

tured attraction.
