New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Orpheum. rOB. those patrons of vaudeville who like a "girly" bill there- is lots to attract to the Orpheum this wcekv The programme is an average good one, with one or two acts that might be left off without loss, but offering a majority of turns that score heavily. That's the advantage vaudeville has over the "legit." If an act is tiresome it is likely to be followed by one that will make the staid old veterans in the audience sit up and clap their hands; while la a play you must watch the antics of the offending ones until the final fall of the curtain. Featured is Clara Belle Jerom, who is assisted by William Seymour and the "Eight Dancing Toodles" in a spectacular musical comedy entitled "Joyland." The rising of the curtain discloses a wheat field, the grain in shocks and a small - patch of green corn stalks in an enclosure. Miss Jerome, who is goodly to look upon, sings a little duet with Mr. Seymour. The two are dressed in bucolic fash ion, and immediately the cornstalks all turn to life and dance delightfully. Again they appear, an octette of pretty maidens in gingham aprons and bon nets, and do a dissolving act behind huso parasols appearing then as bow bedecked laseios in school frocks. Again, while Miss Jerome sings, the girls turn into nice little froggles with speckled backs and dance themselves easily into the graces of the audience. The finale of the act is especially beau tiful, a cloud of white doves suspended on myriads of gold streamers floating Detween the audience and the dancers. An edition de luxe of feminine charm is Winona Winter, the cheer-up maid en. Her contribution consists of imi tations, pronounced as only vaudeville folk can say it, . "imi-t-a-y-shuns." As much a delight to the eye as to the ear is Miss Winter, whose good looks and slim girlishness are only enhanced by the simple white gown and white hat she wears. Her voice is sweet and pleasing and all of her numbers were eaten up by the audience. Best or her imitations, perhaps, is the ven triloquist number, which Miss Winter did better than , the original. Her Southern negro luiiaby was woefully lacking in dialect, but the sentiment and musical value made amends. Miss Winter was applauded so insistently that she very gracefully offered to sing all her songs over again,, giving the intimation that she had no encores on tap. Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan present one of the most novel acts ever seen on a local stage. In pic turesque costumes that are a riot of color, amidst beautiful effects of light ing, these two go through a series of musical comedy dance hits, on ball bearing roller Bkates. Among the diffi cult and amazingly intricate introduc tions are the buck and wing dance, the Parisian Apache the "Soul Kiss" waltz, the Tourbillion whirlwind dance, the parquay dance from "Miss Inno cence," the "Red Mill" schottische and George Cohan's "Yankee Prince" waltz. Miss Donegan is a veritable wonder on skates and her "Human Musical Top," in which she played a mandolin while whirling almost as rapidly as a top, brought forth hearty and un restrained applause. A little bit of foolishness that filled a great big want is contributed by George Felix and Lydla Barry in their skit "The Boy Next Door." There isn't an idle or a dull moment In the vicinity of these two. Lydia is amply able and ably ample, too, for that matter and her song about mere men is a quiet scream. George is a freshet of fun for the audience, with his facial contortions and glaring mistakes in the home of Lydia, where he is cor-alled- by mistake. Her description of him "your face looks like a Chinese kite." only conveys an inkling of his appearance. Miss Barry's younger sis ters. Emily and Clara, assist materially with songs and dances, and are at tractive animated scenery. The Garden City trio do songs and dances, crack "jokes." some of very ancient vintage, and indulge in horse play, more or less diverting. Wally Risley and Joe Remo are pan tomime artists whose act "The Effects of Opium," is unique. The curtain rises on an opium den of the accepted type where two wily celestials with pro nounced -Roman noses, recline negli gently on shelves and seek slumber via the poppy route,, But discord enters their souls and the finish of their act is a series of acrobatic turns and leaps through a miniature house of a thousand doors, that causes ribald hi larity. William Flemen is billed as an effer vescent comedian, but he lacks consid erable of "effervescing." Those of his jokes that are not suffering from senile decay are flat and tasteless. He opens his act with a song that is far from wen, out is much to be to his monologue.. preferred Grand. IF you are looking for something new In the line of vaudevilled song and dance acts, you will find the answer this week at the Grand in ,the person of the Sisters De Faye, Evelyn and Llane. Of delicate blonde coloring and the personi fication of grace, these lithe, Dresden China types, dance and curry favor by their banjo and mandolin playing. Not only good to let the eyes linger on, they bring genuine music from the afore mentioned instruments. This dainty act Is a decided relief after the surfeit of tinpanny music and St. Vitus active dancing. The big lined bill of this week's per formance is a prefetidigiatator . called Lawrence Crane, an Irishman who does mystifying "now you see, now you don't" stunts. The double sets of velvet curtains and elabroate contrivances are an effective foil for Crane's slight-of-hand work, which he does to the accom paniment of some rapid-fire comedy. "The Den of Mystery." "The Hindoo Sarcophagus" and "The Glass Trunk Mystery" are magical acts that suggest the late Herrmann the Great. They are among the best seen here. Elsie Harvey and the Goldie boys are terpsichorean exponents whose work, in vaudeville vernacular, would be billed as "a neat act." The girl wears harmonious clothes, and is on the job when it comes to pedal manipulating. Laugh provoking German comedians are Bernard and Orth. For a sterotyped skit, they man age to hold Interest and spring some gen uine jokes. One of their songs, a parody on "The Holy City" Is not overburdened with refinement, and there seems no pos sible excuse for burlesquing a sacred song. Dovelda and Zelda are artistic equilibrists who entertain. "A Detec tive Detected" is the title for a funny farcelet. played by the Hickman brothers assisted by Retta Merrill. Oddly enough the skit has a semblance of a plot, and the situations are amusing. From beginning to end the bill is one of the best seen at the popular house in some moons. WHERE TO DINE.

RESULT STILL IN DOUBT Crisis at Hand In Brave right by Man Who I Brought Near to Death as Result of Drug Clerk's Blunder. Orton E. Goodwin, an Oregonian re porter, lies In a critical condition at Good Samaritan Hospital from the effects of a double operation performed yesterday for removal of an internal ulcer and of the appendix. Three days must elapse be fore the outcome can be determined. Mr. Goodwin's present illness was brought on by a terrible burn inflicted on his" right arm last July through the blunder of a drug clerk at the store .of Rowe & Martin. This clerk bound upon the young man's arm as . a remedy for mosquito bites a bandage which he sat urated with pure carbolic acid. Through the months which have inter vened Mr. Goodwin has, undergone phy sical suffering such as comes to but few. For many weeks his doctors feared am putation might be necessary. ' Long af ter It was found the arm could be saved it still gave excruciating pain. Twice the young man underwent the operation of skin grafting. Only a few weeks ago was recovery sufficiently advanced to permit removal of the sling from the arm. Even yet the healing process is not com- Olete. ThA himrl nnrl am o r-c noma nently weakened. The present iflness of Mr. (roodwin, his doctors say, may be traced directly to his burned arm. Throughout his distressing experiences Mr. Goodwin's bravery and cheerfulness have compelled the admiration of all coming in contact with him. Six thou sand miles from all his relatives, who live in England, and alone among com parative strangers, he has yet been found ever "hopeful and bright. Always he was looking forward to the time when he might hope to return regularly to his work. Long before he came tempor arily out of the hospital tie was sending news to his paper which he obtained at the 'hospital, and painstakingly wrote on his typewriter with one hand. And some of these news stories were so good that they .went on The Oregonian's first page. When he was told that the final double operation would be necessary and was made aware of its gravity, Mr. Goodwin never flinched. He wrote and addressed a letter to his mother in England, direct ing that It be sent only in case of his death, summoned an attorney and made his will and made the rounds of The Oregonian office, bidding his associates good-by, saying he hoped soon to come back to work for good. At the hospital late last night It was said Mr. Goodwin was resting easily. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

As everyone knows, C. W. Post, of Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a maker' of breakfast foods, but he is a strong individualist who believes that the trades-unions are a menace to the liberty of the country.- Believing this, and being a "natural born" scrapper for the right, as he sees it, Post, for several years past, has been engaged in a ceaseless warfare against "the Labor Trust," as he likes to call it. Not being able to secure free and untrammeled expression of his opinions on this subject through the . regular reading pages of the newspapers he has bought advertising space, for this pur pose, just as he is accustomed to for the telling of his Postum "story." and he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in denouncing trades-unionism. As a result of Post's activities the people now know a whole lot about these " organizations; how they are honeycombed with graft, how they ob struct the development of legitimate business, curtail labor's output, hold up manufacturers, graft upon their own membership, and rob the public Natur ally Post is hated by the trades-unionists, and intensely. , He employs no union labor, so they can not call out his men, and he defies their efforts at boycotting his products. The latest means of "getting" Post Is the widespread publication of the story that a car which was recently wrecked in transmission was" found to be loaded with empty peanut shells, w-hlch were being shipped from the south to Post's establishment at Battle Creek. This canard probably originated with President John Fitzgerald, of the Chi cago Federation of Labor, who, it is said, stated it publicly, as truth. Post comes back and gives Fitzgerald the lie direct. He denounces Fitz gerald's statement as a deliberate false hood, an underhanded and cowardly at tempt to injure his business, having not the slightest basis in fact. As such an effort it must be regarded. It is significant that this statement about "the peanut shells" is being given wide newspaper publicity. In the "patent inside" pf an eastern country paper I find it, and the inference naturally is that labor-unionites are insidiously spreading this lie. An Institution (or a man) which will resort to moral intimidation and to physical force, that will destroy ma chinery and burn buildings, that will malm and kill If necessary to effect its ends, naturally would not hesitate to spread falsehood for the same pur poses. We admire Post. While we have no enmity toward labor unions, so long as they are conducted in an honest, "live-and-let-llve" kind of a way, we have had enough of the tarred end of the stick to sympathize thoroughly with what he is trying to do. He deserves support. A man like Post cannot be killed, even with lies. They are a boomerang, every time. Again we ktfow, for hasn't this weapon, every weapon 'that could be thought of, been used (and not simply by labor unions) to put us out of business too? I am going to drink two cups of Postum every morning from this time on. and put myself on a diet of Grape- Nuts. Bully for Post! Editorial in The JAmcricaa Journal of Clinical calcine.
