New Dills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Orpheunt. rROM the first orchestra selection a rousing march. "The Union For ever." r'.ffht down the line to the last act Rice and Prevost. who are the or'einal 'Bumpety-Bump" boys. the Orpheum bill is a tiling of joy and beauty this week. Robtrt T. llalnes is a strenuous headliner. working; every minute in his sketch "The Coward." It's a tremen dously excltina story with spirited encounter of the bully and his victim, and the gradual turning of the worm as the main theme. The action Is of the crescendo sort and spills all over the place at the finale. The tale Is that old one of the escaped convict hidlna; under an assumed name, livlns under happier conditions, into whose life Is suddenly thrust a former convict-companion whose object la black mail. The treatment of the theme la. however, quite new and In tabloid form It constitutes mighty Interesting en tertainment. Mike Bernard, who should write it M. Ike Bernard. Is the busiest piano player you'd find In many a day's travel. His co-entertalner is Amy Butler, not quite as tall as the piano Mike keeps busy. Her repertoire of songs is a marvel because every one of them is brand new. tihe talks 'em lauirhs 'em. and acts 'em. anil all so ilellghtf ully the audience called for t-.iore.

There isn't any plot to be seen, even with masnifylne chisses, but there are a number of comical situations. The scene of the show is a Texas ranch, near the Mexican border. Colo nel t.'lay Randolph Is the owner, very handy with the irun and an expert In crooked pokur. He has an attractive daughter who is soupht by Lieutenant Lawrence of the United States Army, lie also has two cowpunchera. Ike Bloom and Mike Busch. both rather new at that came. Then thero Is Mrs. Simon I'cttlbone. a widow, who finally captures the rich ranchman. Kdward S. Allen as Ike Bloom, and Frank Vack as Mike Busch. the tender foot cowpunchrrs, were funnier than ever. They mako the most of the bst opportunities they have had for some time. Jack furtia haa dropped his Ger man dialect this week and Kives a Rood performance . of - the Texas ranchman, of whom everyone waa afraid. Lillle Sutherland Is in her element aa Tommy, the dauchter. Myrtle. Guild was ex cellent as the coy widow. The musical numbers and the choruses are all Rood. There Is an Indian chorus that is both picturesque and melodious. Tom MneOulrr. billed as the "Heather-crown Hibernian." siims a new set 6f Scotch rones In his Inimitable way, and srets a full mcasuro of applause. The won der Is that a man who can dance as Krarefully as MacGuIre doesn't do more of it. Carlton Chase and t,lllle Sutherland sine "That Baboon Baby Dance." K. S. Allen and chorus sins "Knot To Toot." Carlton Chase and chorus slur. "I'd love lo 1-ad a Military Band." The choruses have been considerably si renathenei! as to voice by tho ad flttion of ileorjre Weiss, Arthur Cun ningham and Kred Weiss. Panmccs. Tl'NKKL'L. airs and pretty dances with some merry patter make up a pleusinir act offered at PantaKes this week by Josephine Fields and W. J. McGraw and their six Bani.i Buma Birls in "Toy Shop Pastimes." Miss Fields' sonjrs are catchy and she sinfes them in pleasinir style. Mr. McGraw aa the simple-minded errand boy who flirts with the dolls when the mistress was away is very funny. The six doll Kirls sine and dance delightfully and look more dainty and charmingr even than dolls at their verv best. Music of a hlsh order is that Riven by the "Colonial Belles." Miss Margaret Kallenius. Mme. Rosina Moritzski and Miss Dorothy Sherman. Miss Fallenlus pleased with her violin, playing as did Mme. Moritzski, as celloist. Miss Slijer man'9 accompaniment showed how much a trained pianist contributes to the success of a musical trio. The Metropolitan Male Quartet pleased with tnefr singing of popular selections. Their solos gave further evidence of their excellent voices. "A Nl.ght In the Swamp." a pantomime comedy, with Rice. Bell and Baldwin, proved a big laugh-getter. A lone fisherman sit ting patiently waiting for a "bite" brings up a fish, next an old corset and other junk. He proceeds to drink from a large bottle after that exertion and the beasts he hauled out after that are strange to see. The act then changes to a whirlwind tumbling performance, in which tlie three persons engaged do a number of slap-stick stunts in ad dition to some difficult feats. Frltx Houston gives an Interesting act with a siTlea of lantern-slide car toons. Moore and Browning amuse with their songs and dances and dark town patter. Kmprrsfr. IT really rains at the Kmprcss this week, rains in actuality during one of the effective scenes of the headline act of dancing girls, and literally rains several other pood acts as well. The dancing girls. Joe Maxwell's produc tion, are six In number, with one little maid as tho leader. All of them dance miles and miles, apparently into anI out of a half dozen scenes and as many changes of costume. P.esldes all this they sing, tuneful catchy airs. They have two big hits, their opening number, when they are revealed as Dutch dolls, and the finale a typical Oregon downpour of real -water fall ing on the dancing damsels, clad in waterproofs and boots. Phil Bennett, as an Alpine trouba dour, lives up to his reputation .as an enurtalnrr. sinking in a pleasingly melodious light baritone, strumming occasionally on a peculiar stringed in strument, and as a finale offering an unusually good bit of yodcling. An original talking sketch, full of situations in which the audience joins and has full understanding, while the perfectly nice hero Is made the goat for a pretty girl thief, is put on by Mae Devlin and John Kauffmann. "The Girl from Yonkers" is its title, and It's a rapid-action farce, full of absurdi ties that bring laughs. Short and sweet is the opening act, the Gougets. a Parisian pair who get music out of a number of Instruments. One novelty of their presentation is the introduction of a horn so big it extends clear across the stage, and sounds aa if a full-grown band were working overtime. The Beningtons, two brothers, dis play a wonderful muscular develop ment In an act that Is both dignified and novel. An act that has a Jim dandy finish of eccentric dancing, well deserving the name. Is furnished by Charles Merritt and Wlnfield Douglas. As comedians they might be funnier, as singers they may not shine, but cer tainly as dancers the palm is given to this two. LIBRARY PLANS DISCUSSED Albany Citizens Consider Adding .o Amount Donated by Carnegie. ALBANY. Or., March . (Special.) Although this city will receive only 115.500 from Andrew Carnegie. It is purposed to erect a I20.000 library here this Summer. Mrs. S. E. Young, who donated the site for the library, has offered to give $2500 more provided an equal amount -were raised and It Is believed enough other donations could be obtained o provide JT500 to add to the Carnegie grift. The ground for the library, at the southwest corner of Third and Ferry atreets. has been cleared and plans for the structure have been adopted. Work on the building is planned to be begun early this Spring. ALBINAJFUEL CO. Lowest prices; best service. Phone B 1S2. C 111".

Enthusiastic- Over Com ing of Excursionis-ls Ad Club Will Discuss Ki-cur-don Today. "San Francisco is fully as enthusi astic about the coming of the Oregon excursion to select the site for the Ore gon building at the Panama-Pacific Ex position as any member of the excur sion could possibly be about the pros pect of the trip." said G. M. Hyland. ehairman of the membership committee for the excursion yesterday. tr. ,,v" land has returned from San Francisco, where lie and V. O. Lively attended the meeting of the California Livestock Breeders' Association Saturday. Both were speakers at the meeting. "The enthusiasm of the San Fran cisco people has reached the stage where they are prepared to turn the city over to their Oregon visitors as soon as they arrive. 'Oregon first' ap pears to he the general sentiment of the Californians regarding representa tion of outside states at the exposition, and Oregonians may expect a royal welcome and entertainment. Prepara tions have all been made for two or three banquets and other entertain ments to be given the Oregon visitors." I.ovr Bales Are Offered. Mr. Hyland says that the St. Francis Hotel has already reserved 100 rooms for the Oregon party, and promises to accommodate the entile party if the delegates all desire to stay thore.--.Spe-cial low rates for the visiting Orego nians have been quoted by the hotel. Mr. ilyland talked with A. W. Foster and C. Walters, commissioners of the exposition, the latter being formerly a Portland resident, and found the at titude of the exposition commlSBlon most friendly toward Oregon and the Northwest. The candidacy of U. O. Lively for director of livestock ex hibits at the fair will need all the sup port that the Northwest can give it, in Mr. Hyland's opinion, but Mr. Lively will also find strong friends on the commission. The appointment will he entirely in the hands of F. J. V. Skiff, of St. Louis. ' Adding to the delegation that Ore gon will send to San Francisco the former Oregon people who are now residents of that city, our state will be represented by a crowd 500 strong when tho visit to the exposition grounds to select the site Is made," said Mr. Hyland. Ad lull Will Boost. The membership committee, of which Mr. Hyland Is chairman, spent yester day checking up its list of names, which now reaches about 140, all of which were secured with no canvass beyond the letters of Invitation sent out over the city and state by Julius Meier, chairman of the Oregon exposi tion commission, and by the commer cial organizations of the city. Tomorrow at the Ad Club luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel the programme will be devoted to the Oregon excur sion and Julius Meier, who has been one of the most active since the In ception of the plan, will be chairman of the day. Governor West wil speak on "Oregon First." T. B. Wilcox, presi dent of the Oregon Development League, on "The Flower of Oregon": L.
