Company was very popular here, as they presented -ood clean plays. Left for Astoria, where they open Sunday, and may plav a return date here soon. liRAND OPERA HOUSE (Salem Vmusement & Llolding Co.) : Dark. I oming, May 5: Harry Lauder -inging and talking pictures. YE LIBERTY (Salem Amusement & Holding Co.) : Famous Players Co. nictures and licensed program. ilLIGH (Bligh Amusement Co.; T. G. Bligh, gen. mgr.) : Exclusive Mutual program and the Mutual Girl.

PORTLAND, May 4.—HEILIG Theatre (Calvin Fleilig, mgr.; Will- iam Pangle, res. mgr.) : Within the Law played a return engagement at this theatre for the last five nights of the past week and only did fairly. The company played here several months ago for a week to big busi- ness, and" the return was altogether too soon; however, those who wit- nessed the play on this engagement were just as w^ell satisfied as the for- mer ones, and that meant the com- pany and play have not been allowed to deteriorate one iota. Last night The Honeymoon Express opened for a week to a big house and everything points to a big week's business. This is llic first musical show Portlanders have Iiad for .some time, and the pres- ent one being class, they are taking ad- vantage of it. Al Jolson is featured, -nd he is right in his element. He - well known to theatregoers of this ity from his previous numerous ap- earances in vaudeville, and now that e is surrounded by a first-class sup- orting company, a lot of pretty girls nd a fine production, one wonders hy he never before was headlined a musical show. Others adding to e enjoyment of the evening were da Lewis, Anna Wheaton, Marie obson, Marie Fenton, Doyle and ixon and Jack Storey. Coming: Howe's Pictures of the Panama Can- al, week of lotli. BAKER Theatre (Geo. L. Baker mgr.; Milton Sea- man, bus. mgr.) : A fascinating story of the iNIontana cattle country during the frontier days, under the title of The Remittance Man, was offered by the Baker Players yesterday. This is the first time that this play has been offered on the Coast in stock. The play is of the class of The Squawman and The Virginian and is chock full of heart interest and first-class cli- maxes. Edward Woodruff was cast in the title role and acquitted himself in his usual good style. Mary Edgett Baker is truly dividing honors with Dorothy Sliocmaker this week, and these two callable actresses are well cast and playing their respective roles up to all requirements. Others add- ing to a fine performance are Louis Leon Hall, Thomas Walsh, Walter Gilbert, Grace Lord and Raymond Wells. Manager Baker has outdone himself in his production. Next week: A Romance of the Underworld. OR- PHEUM Theatre (Frank Cofifinberry, mgr.) : The bill for this week started off yesterday with two headline acts, Lillian Shaw and Henrictte de Serris and her Company. Others offered in the bill included the playlet, Sergeant Bagby; The Berrens; Power Bros.; Wriglit and Dietrich; and Weston and Clare. LYRIC Theatre (Keat- ing & Flood, mgrs.jl: Tommy La Rose and Walter Owens have hit the bull's-eye of success at this theatre with their new offerings in the musi- cal comedy line, and are the chief magnets in drawing big houses to this po]nilar play house. The chorus, as usual, is a big feature in all Lyric ])roductions. EMPRESS Theatre (H. W. Pierong, mgr.) : For this week the bill includes The Six Paris- ian Harmony Girls; Al Herman; the playlet, S])icgers Daughter's Beau; Ryan Brothers; and Williams and Segal. PANTAG1<:S Theatre (Jolin Johnson, mgr.) : Acts announced for this week are Lottie Mayer and X'ivian Marshall; Lasky's Hoboes; Musette; Cornalla and Wilbur; and Rackett, Hoover and Markey. A. W. W. SAN BERNARDINO, May 5.— OPERA HOUSE (Mrs. M. L. Kip- linger, mgr.) : After being dark, so far as road shows were concerned, for several weeks, tomorrow night Mrs. Douglas Crane and company will present Her Soul and Her Body, featuring the latest society dances. 8, Chauncey Olcott in Shameen Dhu. The Temple, Auditorium, Isis and Savoy adequately fill the moving pic- ture field and are showing to good houses. At the Opera House, also, several feature films have been shown lately, including Rainey's African Hunt and Life in the Philippines, and it will be the policy of this house to fill in the summer season with special films of this general character. J. E. RICH. FRESNO, May 7.— Theatre FRESNO: 5, Flonzaley Quartette, under the auspices of the Fresno Mu- sical Club, delighted a big audience. 8, New York Grand Opera Company in Faust. 11, Chauncey Olcott in Shameen Dhu. 18-19, Mrs. Douglas Crane in Her Soul and Her Body. 24, Peg O' My Heart. 25, Robert Hilliard in The Argyle Case. 29, Billy Burke. PRINCESS: 29-May 7, Pastor Russell's free motion pic- ture, Creation. EMPIRE: For the first half a very good bill is presented with De Rcmee's Educated Horses as the big feature. Booth and Booth, with their comedy talking and jug- gling, have one of the best acts of this character. Wilbur Harrington and Company offer a lot of clever dancing", snappy singing and some re- markable juggling. Little Hazel Dean is a demure soubrette who scores with her songs and toe dancing. Comedy pictures complete the bill. For the last half: The King of the Everglades, with his trained crocodiles and alliga- tors, proves an unusual feature. Others are Collie Le Page, male impersona- tor ; Arthur Du Mais, monologist; Lester and Lester, singing and danc- ing; Spanish Goldinis, spinning novel- ty, and the pictures. ]\IAJESTIC: The Lord and Meek Musical Comedy Company are putting on The Queen of the Harem to light business. In the cast are Carmelita Meek, Rich- ard Mack, George Lord, Robert B. Hamilton, Bessie Stratton, Amita Conradi and six girls. KINEMA: 4-7, Pictures of Mary Pickford in A Good Little Devil to fine returns. PASTIMI^: Zingo feature picture to very nice business. Bijou, Fresno, Oriental, Ryan and Family theatres are all doing fair business, consider- ing the extremely hot weather. 5, Selfs-Floto Circus, with Buffalo iiill very heavily featured, played to two big houses, but disappointed, and IJuffalo i>ill was only visible for a couple of minutes.

An amicable settlement of the financial difficulties between Fred W. Voigt, manager of the Theatre Fresno, and the members of the mu- sicians and stage employees' unions has been made. Because of financial reverses at a time when his expenses were heavy and the audiences small, Voigt was unable to pay his musicians, and they, under the rules of the union, were compelled to leave the house. This took place about two weeks ago. Since that time the house has been dark, but yesterday the union submit- ted a written agreement to Voigt which he accepted. Voigt is to pay one-third of the back salaries in one week and the balance in thirty days. At the time the theatre was closed and vau- deville suspended, Voigt said he would meet his obligations as soon as possi- ble. During the middle of June the theatre will be closed and will be thoroughly renovated before opening for the road attractions next season. \'oigt will remain in Fresno during the summer and the house will be re- modeled under his supervision. Bessie Barriscale Slated for the Alcazar Bessie Barriscale is the next star slated for ajjpcarancc at the Alcazar Tiieatre, following the season of Willard Mack and Marjorie Rambeau at the popular little theatre in C)'Farrell Street. Miss Barriscale comes back to us after a season of success on Broadway. The manage- ment of the Alcazar has secured a number of splendid plays for her and several new people, including a new leading man. It is a pretty safe bet that her Icgicjn of loyal admirers will not allow her forthcoming season to be brought to a close without a de- mand for a revival of the greatest of all the Barriscale successes, The Rose of the Rancho. Margaret lies is playing her sketch, The Soul Savers, in New England, appearing recently in Dan- bury, Conn.
