Frederick the Great was very fond
of hearing what the common soldiers
thought of him and often frequented,
in disguise, the tavern where his
soldiers caroused. One day he went
into a tavern and sat down at a
table with an old soldier. The lat
ter insisted on paying for everything,
and the king noticed that the fellow
had money, although 1t was not pay

Mort II. Singers latest musical sue
cess, THE Flirting Princess" in
| which the noted comedian, Harry
Bulger, has scored such a triumph,
comes to the Oregon for an engage
ment next Friday.
Harry Bulger is not an unknown
quantity as his clever portrayal of
"Bluejay" in Woodland" still re-
mains fresh in our memories.
While this is our first view of "The
Flirting Princess II is its third sue
cessful season, having been first pre-
sented three seasons ago at the Prin-
cess Theatre, Chicago, where 1t ran
for $40 nights. Since then Eastern
managers have had full call on the
time of this really remarkable success.
1t now comes to us with the strong
stamp of approval of the entire East.
1t Is said to be by far the best effort
of those popular song writer's, Messrs
Adams, Hough and Howard.
The scene of the piece is laid at the
Cafe Trouville in Hotel Claremont,
New York City, where the authors
state anything may happen, and for
three solid hours the clever Harry
Bulger and his entire company go
through a series of new, unique and
novel dances, including the famous
"oogie dance" the Egyptian Turkey
Trot" and a new departure called the
Gloomy Glooms,' the latter being
taken from the we'll known cartoons
of Powers "Joys and Glooms"
The company supporting Mr.. Bulger
numbers several entirely new faces
to theatergoers of this city, but who
have long been identified with sue
cessful musical plays. The cast in
cludes Helen Darling, Eileen Sheri-
dan, Dale Fuller, and what is prom
ised to be the "girliest girl" chorus
yet seen on our local stage. Seats
