The bill at the Grand this week Is up to the normal good standard of that play house, many excellent acts being present ed on the new programme. One feature of the bill Is Fred Rinenhal, an Australian monologuist and comedian, who is making his first appearance here. His idea of hu mor differs to a considerable extent from the kind of fun Grand audiences are used to. While Rinenhal is amusing and his fun elicited much laughter yesterday, it cannot be said that he is superior to the American vaudeville product. Being dif ferent, though, it affords novelty and every one should see the act, for the sake of making comparisons If nothing more. Among the other good acta Grace Hunt ington and company put on a lively com edy In one act, "Checkmate"; the two Dots are a clever team of women ath letes; the Gillette Sisters put on a divert ing blackface comedy act; Dawson and Whitfield do a lively comedy sketch; Mas ter Harold Hoff sings an illustrated bal lad, and moving pictures conclude the performance. Same bill all week. Pantages. "A good show in a cool place" Is what the Pantages management advertises this week, and that announcement is fully jus tified by the facts in the case. The show Is made up of good vaudeville numbers throughout, and was well received by the audience that was on hand yesterday af ternoon to see the initial performance. The cycling McDonalds are the feature. and what they do not accomplish on their bikes- is not worth doing. The Ragtime Trio, with their profusion of old darky melodies and campmeeting hymns, proved the second most popular acts. Among the other performers. Miss Girard deserves mention for her singing and dancing: the Elliotts are good harpists and singers; Dunne and O'Netl put on a good comedy act; Arthur Blwell sings an illustrated ballad, and moving pictures conclude the performance. Same bill all week. Star. The Star is giving big measure this week. It is putting on the Star Stock Company of Its own selection, and several good vaudeville turns are thrown in be tween acts, so that there are no tiresome waits. Something-Is going on all the time. 'In the Basket" Is the stock company's offering, and It is a comedy of many highly amusing situations and bright dia logue. The company is generally capable for light comedy work, and Us first per formances yesterday were well received by large houses. The principals are: Wells and Collins, formerly at the Or pheum. San Francisco. A blind singer with a good baritone voice replaces the usual illustrated singer, rendering a new song, "The Burning of 'Frisco Town." Moving pictures conclude the show, which will be repeated each afternoon and even ing this week. AUNE'S JJFE-LIKE Pictures, taken from 8:30 to 5:30. Gallery Wash, and W. Park. Phone Main 1636.

Edel Brau, For sale everywhere, s, J?hon Mala US, -., Two Million Little Children Starving Poor and Rich Alike Suffer Prom Lack of Good Pood. We notice that John Spargo, in his new book, "The Bitter Cry of the Children." says no less than two million American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are victims of chronic tinder-feeding. They are the easy prey of disease, nervous, ir ritable, weakened both physically and mentally, and unfit for that perfqpt devel opment which Nature Intended for them. Mr. Spargo speaks particularly of the children of the poor, but what he says is, in thousands of cases, true of the chil dren of the wealthy and the comfortably well-to-do. Many children who have "all they can eat" are really underfed. For the food which they are given is not food from which they can get the nutrition they need. There is no other food, so far as we know, so nutritious, so strengthening for children as Malta-Vita, the perfect malted whole-wheat food. This is not only be cause Malta-Vita Is so rich in all the nutrition the body needs for sustaining health and strength. More important by far is the fact that the nutrition of the malted wheat is so easily digested and as similated that all its life-giving elements are taken up by the system, forming rich, red blood In abundance and giving growth and vigor to body and brain. Malta-Vita Is insurance of perfect health for children. And it is so good to eat! S All grocers. E SAX FRAMCISCO REFUGEE FAILS TO RETURN. Aew-Found Friends Fear That She May Have Taken . Her Life While Despondent. Though more than one home is open to her. no trace can be found of Miss Bella Hammond, a refugee from the San Francisco fire, who left new-made friends here last Friday morning on a search for work In the city, and did not r,eturn. The young woman lost parents and a brother in the conflagration. When she reached Portland on a refugee train her nerves were badly shattered. Her friends have searched wherever they thought it possible a homeless girl who lost her mind or became sick might 'be taken, but she seems to have dropped out of sight completely. It is feared that, dis couraged In her hunt for employment she has taken her life, for she seemed dazed by the experience through which she had passed, and scarcely responsible. A young lady who boards on Flanders street heard her ask the manager of a restaurant for work a week ago. The girl's distress was evident and she was taken to the other's room. For three days she inquired for work at various stores and factories about the city. She had never been trained to any employment, her father having been a well-to-do real estate man of San Fran cisco. She expected ultimately to realise something from property on which the buildings had been burned, but for the moment was penniless. Two diamond rings were the only articles of value she possessed, and her Portland friend per suaded her not to part with these. Last Friday she started out as usual. She did not return. Attracted by the fact that the girl, who is 22 years old, bears the same name as himself, I. B. Hammond of the Ham mond Manufacturing Company, has he come interested in the case, and offers to lend the girl a helping hand if she appears. Others have also offered to open their doors to her. Miss Hammond Is about five feet, five inches In height, with light brown hair and dark brown eyes, and an extremely pale face. She was attired in a black Eton Jacket and black skirt, wearing a ell. She was decidedly reserved in con versation, and her general appearance was that of a quiet, refined young- woman. Any one having knowledge of her where abouts should telephone East 1454. BICYCLES IN THE AIR. Stirk Troupe Performs Marvelous Feats on Wheels With Xorris & Howe Circus. By securing the great Stirk troupe of ten young men and women aerial cyclists, Norris & Rowe believe that they have secured a genuine novelty. Certain it is that no other circus traveling has an act anything like it or anywhere near ap proaching It for sensational exploits. First, upon the elevated stage under the new mammoth waterproof tents of the Norris & Rowe circus, the Stlrk troupe perform upon both . the safety and the old-fashioned high wheel, a series of dashing, dangerous evolutions. When the ten young men and women are per forming at once the whole makes a most graceful, pleasing, bewildering picture. Then comes- the aerial cycles, when upon slender wires suspended in the air. the young women dash from one end of the arena to the other, with absolutely no support. The final portion of the act is the most wonderful of all. A huge Ferris wheel is fitted up with ten trapezes and upon each Is one of the Stirk troupe. The electrician starts the machinery and when the immense wheel revolves, the splendid athletes go through daring and difficult evolutions upon the rapidly mov ing trapeze. This is only one of the many to be seen when all new and greater Norris & Rowe circus exhibit in Portland at the regular circus grounds. Twenty fifth and Raleigh street, for two days. May 10 and 11. THE FIRE RECORD. An alarm from box 245 called the Fire Department yesterday afternoon at 5:50 to a blazing roof at 795 East Main street. The fire was qulckly exttngulthed with little damage. MAY SELECT D. A. GROUT It Is Believed He Will Be East Side High School Principal. There were no developments yesterday in the situation relative to the contest for the principalship of the Bast Side High School, although it seems to be well settled that D. A. Grout, principal of the Ladd School, will get the place. An effort was made to hold a meeting of the School Board last night for the purpose of taking action in the matter, but owing to the inability to secure the attendance of all . the members of the body no meeting was held and none will be called until it is possible to have the entire board present. This contingency is liable to arise any day. The School Board is composed, of these directors: Mrs. L. W. Sitton. chairman: I. N. Fleischner. J. V. Beach. Richard Williams and Herman Wittenberg.
