Miss Anglin put on the classic at the end of a successful run at the HUDSON Theatre and it proved so popular with her clientele that when it came time to end her season at that theatre it was found nec- essary to move over to the LIBERTY Theatre and continue the run there. Lady Windermere's Fan is just as humorous today as when it was first presented in London at the height of Wilde's success as an author. Miss Anglin's cast includes the following: Florence Wollersen as Lady Winder- mere ; Sarah Cowell Le Moyne as the Duchess of Berwick ; Ruth Holt Bouci- cault as Lady Plymdale; Pedro De Cordoba as Lord Windermere'; Ar- thur Bryon as Lord Darlington; Sid- ney Greenstreet as Lord Augustus Lorton; and Donald Cameron as Mr. Hopper. Of cour.se, Miss Anglin as Mrs. Erlynne was tlie center of in- terest. Her acting was superb in "those difficult scenes when Mrs. Erlynne was trying to save the repu- tation and happiness of her daughter without disclosing that Lady Win- dermere was none other than the daughter of the notorious Mrs. Erlynne. I don't recall whether Miss Anglin ])roduced Lady Windermere's Fan while she was on her last tour of the Pacafic Coast, but if she did not it would be a valuable addition to her repertoire. GAVLN D. HIGH. TACOMA, May 5.—Things theat- rical in Tacoma are quiet. The only road shows for some time have been Henrietta Cro.sman in a diverting little lay. The Tongues of Men, and velyn Nesbit Thaw, with a creditable audeville offering, a number of the cts being high-class. The Flonzaley Quartette delighted the lovers of fine music, and those addicted to motion pictures are entertained with those shown this week at the TACOMA, the bill being The House of Bondage. The bill has particular attraction for our townsmen, because one of the leading characters is played by Robert Webb I^awrence, a well-known and valued member of the McRae Stock Company, so popular here in 1908-09. Margaret Illington's return this week to this, her home city, is eagerly awaited and good business is sure to result. Another welcome announce- ment for the month is that The Honeymoon Express will arrive here on the 19th inst. Monday was a gala day at the EMPRESS Theatre. Billy Sheets, whistler for Whitteer's Bare foot Boy act, slipped quietly away to the Court Llouse in the morning and was married to Miss Nell McFreder- ick, of Butte, Montana. The orches- tra stopped the show to play the wed- ding march, and all the acts on the bill contributed their quota of fun to the consternation of the bridegroom and the amusement of the audiences. Ama- teur acts still continue two nights a week at this house, considerable merit being dispJayed at times. The Coun- try Store act at the Empress is a win- ner, and additional interest is lent be- cause of many of the stage settings being given away to the audiences (if they can carry them away). Valuable Ijrizes have been donated by Tacoma shop-keepers. The Picchianni Troupe of Acrobats are back after an absence of several seasons, with an act de- cidedly sensational. Other old friends returning were Frank and Pauline Perry. A dramatic playlet, well played, was Salvation Sue, by David Walters, George Denton, 1 Blanche Morrison and Mark Parrott. William Morrissey and Dolly Hackett scored with songs and patter. PAN- TAGES Theatre: Comedy honors at the Pantages this week are carried off I)y Fields and Lewis in The Misery of a Hansom Cab. The act was a win- ner. Torcat and Flor D'Aliza were back again after a long absence, and are still popular, judging by the ap- plause that greets their act. The Gcr- hardt Sisters offered a good singing act and both sing well. Comedy and eccentric dancing makes uj) the offer- ing of Traccy, Goetz and Tracey. The Luigi Picaro Troupe of seven men were clever in sensational tumbling and exjiert hand to iiand I)alancing. Halkan's Meciianical Shadowgraphs were novel and amusing. A. IL FOR THE BEST SCENERY FOR VAUDEVILLE THEATRES, OPERA HOUSES, VAUD- EVILLE ACTS, ETC. The Chas. F. Thompson Scenic Co. 1529 FRANKLIN STREET, OAKLAND, CAL. Scenic Advertising Curtains SALEM, ^lay 3.—GRAND OP- ERA HOUSE (Salem Amusement & Holding Co.) : Harry Lauder talk- ing and singing pictures Tuesday to fair business—good picture. The Traffic, presented by Walter Newman, Saturday, was greeted with a fair house. Supported by an excellent cast, and especially good was the acting of Miss Vernon as Agnes Burton. WEX- FORD (Salem Amusement & Hold- ing Co.) : Pictures and vaudeville. YE LIBERTY (Salem Amusement & Holding Co.) : Famous Player's Com- pany pictures every Monday and Tuesday. Feature pictures to finish. GLOBE (Lafler, mgr.) : Feature pic- tures and good effects. BLIGPI (Bligh Amusement Co.; T. G. Bligh, res. mgr.)l: Exclusive Mutual pro- gram and refined vaudeville acts to good business for the week. ALBANY, May 3.—ROLFE (Geo. Rolfe, mgr.) : Licensed pictures and good effects to good business for the week. P>LIGH (Bligh Amusement Co.; Frank D. Bligh, res. mgr.) : First half: Sunday and Monday, Harry Lauder's singing and talking pictures to fair business—good clear pictures and pleased. Mutual program, includ- ing the Mutual Girl, Wednesday and Thursday. May 7th, Walter New- man presented The Traffic, which played to a small but appreciative house. The cast, which is an excel- lent one, includes Ray Butler, Grant Raymond Nye, Edward Gordon, Frank Kelly, Ethelyndal McMullen, Ella Houghton, Ruth Vernon, Edesse Fowler. Miss Vernon in the leading role, as y\.nges Burton, was a rare treat. The epilogue spoken from a darkened stage just before the final curtain was very impressive and left tli£ audience well satisfied. PORTLAND, May 11.—HEILIG Theatre (Calvin Heilig, mgr.; Wm. Pangle, res. mgr.)—INloving pictures will hold forth at this theatre for this week starting yesterday. They are Lyman H. Howes' pictures showing the construction of the Panama Canal. Other features shown in- clude Yellowstone Park, Egypt and Naples. They pleased big audiences yesterday and doubtless will do a good week's business. Chauncey Olcott is underlined for 18-19-20. BAKER Theatre (Geo. L. Baker, mgr.; Milton Seaman, bus. mgr.) — This week we have A Romance of the Underworld, starting yesterday. It seems as if the Baker patrons de- sire plays of this class, as they seem to do the best business. This play was given at the Heilig by the road company last season, and the present production compares favorably; in fact, with the strong personnel of the liaker ])layers, the stock company is the stronger of the two, taking into consideration all the respective roles. Of course the chief roles are played by Dorothy Shoemaker and Louis C F. WEBER k CO. ^ Opera Chairs All Styles of THEATRE AND HALL SEATS 365-7 Market Stre«t Ban 7ranclsco 512 So.
