Milton Mobiles.

r.
to be superior to any of the London
mendous successes during the past few
years. The play is intensely dramatic
and sensational, and yet is Ekept we'll in
hand, with no anti-climaxes. Tie situa-
| tions arc all within the legitimate
bounds of the story and it's natural sur
roundings. 1t is altogether one of the
best American melodramas we have.
As the hero, Alfred Armitage, a.reformed
gam bier, Mr.. Mobiles plays with ease,
polish and magnetic force. Miss Dollle
MOBILES is cast for the leading female
role, which, by the way. is dual part.
At the popular matinee to be given
tomorrow afternoon "From Sire to Son"
will ne repeated. In the evening "For
Revenue Only" will be the bill. This
play is aid to be equally as strong Ia
comedy as is @From Sire toTSon" melo-
drama. 1t is unique political satire,
scoring that distinctiyely American in
stitution, the machine,n in no uncer-
tain manner. 1t shows in a decidedly
amusing manner the influence welded
during campaign by country newspa-
per. Mr.. Mobiles enacts the role of Tom
Knowall, reporter, who is placed in
charge of the newspaper by it's owner, a
wealthy banker who is ambitions to be
electedEto Congress
Mr.. Mobiles deserves warm welcome
from.our..t ..theatre-goers, for he occupies a
prominent place upon the American
stage both as an actor and as An author.
His supporting company will be found
excellent in every way.

mirable company of MIR. Frohmaa's play
ing return engagement. "Sowing the
Wind" is the strongest and most interest
ing play that has been seen in Portland
