Factory GIRL Today there will be
matinee at which ''The Arabian Nights"
will be the attraction, and in the even
ing "The Clemenceau Case, in which
Miss Thorne will assume the character
ization of LA, in which she has been
much admired in other cities. The audi
ences in attendance the past two nights
express themselves very strongly in favor
of the entertainments Mr.. Tuthill is CIV
ing them.
Henry e. Dixey.
Tomorrow will be notable for two
things. First. it will be the birthday
of the Father of his Country and second
Dixey will appear with his splendid
company in "Adonis," afternoon and
evening, at City Hall. The afternoon
performance will enable the school
children to enjoy themselves for small
price. The evening performance Will
catch the adults.
Already there has been a large advance
sale, but there are plenty OF good seats
left on sale at Stock BRIDGES.
The company supporting Dixey is one
of the best ever associated with MIN.
Carrie Perkins, as the Merry Little
Mountain Maid, and Ed Chapman as her
father, the miller, are excellent, and the
beauty of Miss Belle Thorne and the de-
lightful singing of Miss Irene Verona are
we'll worth coming long way to enjoy.
Everything about the play is up to date
and all the old features which have been
retained are only the best.
Hoyt's "a Texas Steer"
Decidedly the best of the plays from
the pen of that fertile playwright, Chas
H. Hoyt, is "a Texas Steer" which has
been seen in this city on several occa-
sions, and which begins an engagement
of two evenings duration at Portland
theatre next Monday. .
The previous success Of "A Texas
Steer in this city was SO empahtic that
it is safe to predict very large business
for the company during the present en-
eaeement. In A Texas Steer" the
follies and iniquities of Congressional
life are satirized by Mr.. Hoyt with
keen wit that of itself would make the
play remarkable one.
The sale of seats hegins this morning at
the box Office.
