intrigue, sensation and sentiment is
Queen of the White Slaves" which
comes to the Opera house next Satur-
day afternoon and evening
Queen of the White Slaves" was
written by Arthur ]. Lamb, and is

hair raising adventures in which "A San

known as THE Terrible Nine" two
beautiful young women, a brave detec-
tive, comedy negro and large num-
Der of subsidiary characters figure
prominently. The production is said to
be the most stupendous. melodrama-
tic production ever made. Some of the
scenes are so remarkable in their in
genuity that they fairly startle the au-

Ezra Kendall at Portland.

The great fun maker, Ezra Kendall,
will inaugurate an engagement at the
Majestic Theatre, Monday, May 18th
in a comedy by George AIDE. entitled
1.-THE Land of Dollars" There is no
entertainer today who eScels Mr.. Ken
dali as fun-maker. His slightest
word, the tone of his voice, the accent
of his pronunciation, is enough to
make one happy. H.,
AS to George AIDE, he is one of
Americas leading writer's. And. when
these two great students of human
nature and the art Of laugh making
are combined, imagine what joy and
mirth must be let loose.
In 1.-The Land of Dollars" Mr. AIDE
has written a comedy that appeals to
everyone. His characters are classic
in their picturesque unconventionality,
their funds of wit, and their humor-
Gus philosophy. AS for Ben Gridley,
the millionaire who gives up his
wealth to go in search of health, finds
it, RECEIVERS the wealth, and then starts
in to work as hard spending his
money in giving all his friends good
time, as he did for the first fifty years
of his life to accumulate it, Mr.. Ken
dali has a rule which in every way is
an immense stride forward. He still
has his unique, delightful, humorous
personality, for Kendall couldn't be
different if he would, and he wouldn't
if he could" and the play amuses with
out the aid of profanity or intoxica-
ton.
His supporting company includes
Eleanor Barry, Inez Plummer Ashley
Plummer, Ashley Miller, Burnette
Radcliffe, Charles Crosby, Helen
Sallinger, Horace Newman, Caroline
Eckert, Charlotte Learn, Raymond
Daley, Charles Wilson, Henry Hanlon
and Charles Ransom, and many
