What the Ort'Knutan Saya of Ward.
The Oregonian of March 31st said:
"Frederick Warde in 'Virglnius' drew
a packed house at the Marquam last
night and renewed a long succession of
Portland triumphs. It has been four
teen years since Wnrde's first perform
ance of this role in Portland.
"We cannot epeak too highly of the
Vlrpinius' of Mr. Warde. As the lov
ing father in the first act, sounding the
depths of his daughter's virgin heart,
full of tenderness and parental pride
and love, he presented a picture of quiet
yet forceful acting. As the warrior
mourning the treacherous slaughter of
his friend and brolher-in-arms, his pa
thos was touching, and the transition
from this to tho tempest of outraged
fatherhood on learning of the attempted
seizure of his daughter by the client of
the tyrant was most masterly. But it
is in the forum scene, where he con
fronts the decemvir and asserts his
rights as a Roman and a father, that his
acting reaches its highest point. The
last act, in which his great sorrow 1ms
overthrown his reason, and he wanders
about in seach of his child was finely
done. As be listened for the beloved
voice, first in expectancy, then with joy,
then with doubt, and then with despair
that he heard it not, ho prceented in
rapid succession, four pictures worthy
of Angelo, but better, because In them
there was life."

A delighted audience of over 500 peo
ple witnessed the Eecond, annual per
formance of The Dalles Commercial and
Athletic Club in "King Hallabahoola
II." at the Vogt last evening, and al
though expectation ran' high, it is safe
say that none were in the least dis
appointed.
The natives, who were body guarJi to
the king, who was admirably imperson
ated byytfne who is a Dalles favorite J.
Hartnttt played the part of curtain
raisers in their drill and son;.', which
was a very pretty feature and was well
received. His royal highness then sang
"When This Country Goes to War With
Spain," and was loudly applauded. On
account of the present crisis it was very
appropriate for the occasion.
Frank French as "Archibald Percival
Algernon Hotstuff" hen called upon
the king, and in his,burnt cork perform
ance and the singing of "My Coal Black
Lady," which wan heartily encored,
pleased everyone. Mr. French has a
splendid voice and his work last night
was of fcuolj a character that ho should
justly feel proud.
Louie Corn i n i then appeared as "Count
Calve Liver RustyCanner," and with
hia little bears urnlshed a fund of
amusement to everyone, while little
Oscar Beck and Sylva Kelsay delighted
old and young by their odd make-up
and dancing.

Arthur Clarke in a German character
sketch, and after some jokes with the
king, he sang a comic song, "Do Deicher

hits. Art. is an a rt-ist indeed when it
comes to his make-up and conception of

Hampshire, it goes without saying, was
immense, and from the time that "Den
nis Kearney und his pet donkey, Nathan,
appeared on the scence until he hud fin
ished his turn and responded to the en
core, everyone laughed to their heart's
content. His local stabs were well
chosen, especially those introduced in
the song "Up Went Poor Jakle." The
donkey was well made up, and Ills part
equally well acted by Pat McNeil. .
This scene was dosed by n grand
chorus by all who took part throughout

show was brought to a successful close,

was was very fine. It consisted of
tumbling featp, kneeling and standing,
front and back somersault?, twitting
mounts and back somersaults off the
shoulders, and was concluded by the
running front somersault over eight
chairs, which is a dangerous and diffi
cult performance. Ballard and Revis
deserve much credit for tho manner in
which they executed this turn, consid
ering the short time they were practic
ing. The colored lautyrT swinging by Van
Norden, Schannp, Campbell, McCowun
and Prune were very pretty. During
this turn all the lights in the building
were turned out except those swung by
the boys, and the effect wan very beau
tiful nnd executed with the skill of
artists.
The Eecond act waB opened by the
singing of "Betsy Phelpsb'e Bloomers"
by Hampshire, French, Hartnett, Cros
sed and Clarke, and as the five appeared
in barrels and wearing obsolete panta
lettee, they took the house in great
shape, nnd nothing would please the au
dience but that they appear a eecond
time.
"Boaraeki" Charlie Heppner sang
"I'm Such a Naughty Kid" in an admir
able manner, after which tho 11 o'clock
toast was drank by tho king to his ab
sent brothers, and nt the same time a
chorus of voices behind the scenes sang
that melody eo dear to the heart of
every Elk, "Auld Lv.ng Syne."
Act second was concluded by the fairy
skirt dance by Messrs. French, Frank,
Snipes, Clarke,,Gude, Vogt, Barrett and
Burget. They were dressed aj eight
little girls ni blue, and their appearance,
as well s their dancing, was very
pretty. The entire audience went wild
over them, and demanded n Eecond ap
pearance of the eight fairies.
The third act was opened by a chorus
by tho entire company, followed by a
whistling chorus. Two well-rendered
and equally well received uolos were
given by Charles Clarke and Will Cros
seu, while the mnle quartet consisting of
Messrs. Gilford, Kohler, French and
Lundell, wob one of the lineal that has
ever been gotten up in our city. All
these gentlemen display murks of train

Tho solo by George Kohler was verv

how well it was appreciated.
