18 - TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1020 TRADESMEN RETURN FR(M BDAY JAUNT Travel-Weary Merchants Are Enthused by Trip. MUTUAL BENEFIT DERIVED Nathan Strauss Declares Trade Ex cursion Among? Most Important Missions Carried Out. NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS Travel - weary tut enthusiastic both for the. trip and the return were the five-score members of the Portjan business men's trade excur sion to eastern Oreeon, when their special train drew into Union station at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. For six days, by rail and-auto, the good will delegates) had traveled over the eastern Oregon district, to the Idaho line, and learned at first hand the conditions and prospects of the vari ous counties and communities. "The trip has been most success ful." said Nathan Strauss, chairman of the excursion committee, "and is one of the most important missions ever carried out by the local Chamber of Commerce. Fully half the excur sionists, though they represent the important commercial enterprises of this city, enterprises depending largely upon the uniform develop ment of the state, had never before visited the eastern section of the state. A large majority of all who made the trip were by no means familiar with the more recent ad vancement of eastern Oregon. Rleh Fotnre Predicted. "The concensus o'f opinion is that the territory visited is destined to become one "of the richest producing districts in the entire state, and that the attitude of Portland toward these eastern counties, coupled with their attitude toward this city, will deter mine the speed with- which develop ment proceeds. - r "The excursion left Portland with a message of good-will and encour agement for the sections to be (Vis ited. It found that the Cascade moun tains are no barrier to enhanced commercial relations, nor is there any other feeling than that of entire friendliness for Portland. They look to us to aid them, and their attitude is strengthened by logic and circum stance. "It has been most refreshing to enjoy the hospitality of the eastern counties. We were met with enthu siasm and comradeship, and almost foundered in a deluge of fried chicken. And from the many enter tainments at which we were present every member of the trade special learned the true significance of hos pltalitv. More important - than any thing "else is the fact that Portland and eastern Oregon got acquainted, and from this acquaintanceship will spring mutual benefits." Vlxlt Takes In All. Practically every district of eastern Oregon was visited, the trade special penetrating the counties of Umatilla, Union. Baker, Wallowa and northern Malheur. Its members saw the sage- brush plains and the arid sand dunes in the raw state, and saw them again under the transformation of water. A score of irrigation projects, com pleted or in prospect, were visited. Kverywhere was evidence of deter mination to reclaim the country and render it productive and productiv ity in eastern Oregon means tall corn, four crops of alfalfa, garden produce that in certain instances is eaWicr than that of the Willamette valley, and heavily bearing orchards, prune, apple, peach, and small fruits. The long trip was made without unpleasant inqidentor accident of any nature. Train srevice of supe rior character, with an accommodat ing crew, was afforded by the O.-W. It. & N. company. In almost every community visited there were many automobiles ready to take the excur sionists on tours of the nearby dis tricts. The night stops were made at larger towns, where banquets were held and the purpose of the visit dis cussed. In charge of detailed ar rangements was E. N. Weinbaum, ex cursion secretary, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Walter Jen kins as S0ng leader, lent spice and variety to every meeting. The serv ices of these two were substantially recognized by a presentation in be half of the trade excursion, on the closing night of the trip. Mr. Strauss announced yesterday that an eastern Oregon day will soon bo observed at a Chamber of Com merce luncheon, when the achieve ments of the trade mission will be discussed. Orpheem. BT LEONE CASS BAER. .- PLENTY of variety marks the new bill at the'Orpheum. The musical revue, "Varieties of 1920," is in itselt a .miniature musical revue with a well-shaped and uncensored chorus which frequently gets itself into and out of clothes, a prima donna who has a voice and two maids with winged feet, the Warde 8isters7 who do a great deal toward driving away dul care. The act, which is made up of sng and step specialties, is strung to gether subtly and originally by the musicianly skill of Harry Richman, who sits at the piano in one corner of the stage and plays for everyone and himself. Occasionally the orchestra comes in on a refrain, but for the most part it is Mr. Richman who shapes the mu sical destiny of the brilliant act. An other chap, Jack Wa-ldron, who pleas antly affirms that all music goes to his feet, proves it, and clinches the affirmation with . clever ingenuous dances every time he gets into the argumht. The prima donna with the voice is Norma Hark and one harks with delight when Norma war bles. She has a coloratura soprano voice of rare sweetness and surpris ing heights. The Wards sisters dance several thousand miles on very pretty legs and the chorus specializes in clever steps, too. A "stop-the-show" offering is that mt Mr. and Mrs. Britton's two boys," Frank and Milt. They i are young, and full of "wim, wigor and wital ity." When they open their act it is by the xylophone route and shows no signs of turning out to be the real musical riot it develops into. They play with all. .the technique and tal ent of pianists and then grab up a trombone and a cornet and proceed to flood the place with splendid har mony. They received a dozen re calls. Another pair of show-stoppers were Messers. Glenn and Jenkins in "Working for the Railroad." They are a younthful Mclntyre and Heath pair, wun a -command of pantomime and a power of suggestion that is uncannily effective. In front of a pictured depot waiting-room these two porters, wearing the hadges of their service, sweep and dance and argue and jeer and .sing and carry on so delightfully that the audience interrupts constantly to applaud. They wind up with a riot of melody one ebon gent playing a harmonica and the other chording on a steel guitar. There's a spontaneity and original twist to their act that makes it memorable. umny uarreil returns with new material in her "late for rehearsal' turn. She is a cheerio maid and uses the time she is supposed to rehearse in talking confidentially to the audi ence in general and the orchestra leader in particular. Emily is a philosopher and tags her quaint nomeiy lueas on the trail of every laugh.- A wee pup, carried in her shopping bag, adds almost human in terest. A remarkably clever ventriloquial turn is sponsored by Hugh McCor mick and Orace Wallace. They meet at a seaside resort and MqCormick ana a De-wnisKered dummy life-saver. Miss Wallace and a dummy infant carry on a fascinating four-ringed circus 01 taiK. new Jokes crop up and novel twists of comedy sustain constant interest. Joe Melvin, a remarkably agile jug gler, opens tne bill with a hoop roll ing, plate-spinning boomerang and diablo specialty filled with surprises Closing the festivities are the Perrie de Kock group of three excellent hand balancers, who feature also some unusual tumbling. P. S. This show closes with the tnatinee Wednesday. ( Baker. - BT LEONE CASS BAER.

Halloween is to be observed by the students and friends of the Chris tian Brothers college on Friday eve ning. The Cla-Wa-Gras are in charge Lyric. ISTAKEN identity in a . nauti cal setting provides the fun of the TH5Hf Lyric show, which started a week's run with yesterday's mat inee. "All Aboard" is the name of the piece, which deals with the troubles of tw"fereen theatrical man agers and their troupe on a sea trip from Portland to San Francisco. Mike and Ike, played fcy Ben Dillon and Al Franks, are the managers and what they know about the show busi ness could be neatly engraved on one side of a Canadian dime. They en gage the services of George M. Cohan". Fritzl Scheff, Eva Tanguay, and Elsie Janis. At least they think they are engaging them, but later find that they have been tricked by some clever, but crooked, impersonators of the great stars. The stage of the Lyric has the very realistic appearance of the deck of a steamer, with every detail represented but a salty breezj. The lighting ef fects are particularly pleasing, es pecially in the opening number, which features the Rosebud chorus in a set of brand-new costumes. The play ha's a generous share of bits of comedy business, ably man aged by Will Rader, 'Dillon and Franks. Rader gives an excellent performance in the role - of an old time actor of the days of Booth and Barrett, and his scene with Ike in an extract from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is a gem of laugh-pfoducing character acting. Dorothy Raymond takes the part of Fritzl Scheff and Floy Ward is Eva Tanguay, who made famous the saying "I Don't Care." Frank O'Rourke. leading man. plays the bogus George M. Cohan and gives line impersonation of the famous actor and producer. Ben. Broderick makes a heart-breaking- sea-doir in the trim uniform of the captain of the ship, and Gay DuValle is a dainty duplicate of Elsie Janis. Don Smith scores in his portrayal of a "hard boiled" prizefighter. The musical end of the show Is not neglected and several catchy melodies are presented. Frank O'Rourke makes a big hit in a topical song, "If It's The Woman Who Pays," and Dorothy. Raymond sings a ballad. "Land of My Dreams," in her usual delightful way. Will Rader reaps a harvest applause with a comedy number. "Moonshine in the Mountain Still." Ben Broderick is encored in his solo, "Your Eyes Have Told Me So." and Gay DuValle is well received in "Oh Dear, Oh Dear." The Lyric trio Smith, Heath and Gilkison in "gob" uniforms, get a lot of harmony out of some sailor songs. B. Gilbert, . unheralded. sung as a rule in the tell of the Baker Players. Mr. Gil bert guides their destinies, reads hundreds of plays to pick out' one he thinks Baker audiences wiU-like and then apportions the roles, drills the players and builds the produc tion. He does not actually drive the nails or paint the -scenes that is all done by experts working under his direction. But he puts all the component parts together, players, lines, scenery, etc., and gives us the finished product. All of this he does usually without having seen the original -production. The play this week, "A Voice in the Dark." is a case in point. Mr. Gilbert never saw it. i It hasn't been out here. Only printed plan and specification could be sent out along with the manuscript and Mr. Gilbert applies his general and wide knowledge of stagecraft to whatever formula the play broker sends for the particular play. As a result the productions frequently compare favorably witn those of road companies. The play this week relies solely on its perfection of presentation for its novelty. The story itself is a melodrama, a murder mystery which is solved as the story develops in a prologue and three acta with three scenes in each act. The absolutely new feature In the unfoldment of the mystery is that the two witnesses on whose testi mony hangs tne entire solution are physically handicapped, one by be- ng wholly deaf ana tne otner Diina. The blind man heard voices and out of a dfJzen voices he later picked the voice of the one whom he had heard confess to the murder. The old deaf woman has seen another girl near the body of the murdered man and her testimony almost con victs an innocent person. - The story has plenty of diverting angles, a romance two romances, in fact heart interest and the usual comedy that arises when the hero outwits the over-confident arms of the law. The big characterizations in the story are done .by Irving Kennedy as the blrtid old man, with a fine strain of optimism running through his philosophy, and by Lora Rogers as the querulous old paralytic woman who views life from a wheel chair and finds not overmuch to give her joy. The contrast between the wealthy old woman who cannot hear and the unoomplaining philosophical news peddler who cannot see, as they sit side by side in the last scene and solve the mystery which those others having eyes have not seen, or having ears have not' heard, is Xood for re flection. The two characters are splendidly drawn. The rest of the big credit goes to Mr. Gilbert who has so cun ningly contrived his stage pictures that one scene fades into another and back again, as the story pro gresses. For instance, the old woman starts to tell her story" to an interested group and out go the lights, the querulous voice' keeps on, the lights flash on and the very story the old woman is telling is enacted for the audience. Another blotting out of light and we see her Tiack In the office, continuing the tale. The entire company is in the play ana gives individual good accounts of Itself. The cast: PROLOGUE.

Webster Joe Crampton Irving , Kennedy Hippodrome. -TE CAUTIOUS. GIRLS" is the ' title of a lively musical revue which leads the well-balanced bill that opened at' the Hippodrome yesterday. Five pretty girls with splendid voices compose the chorus, but the principal interest is in Edward Moore and Emil Shy as the lord and the duke. They have a seemingly unlimited supply of fun-making chatter and they use it to good advantage. Their antics are even more mirth provoking and their imitation of .ball room dancing provides a fitting climax for the act. The chorus has clever costumes and a group of interesting and new songs and Bonnie Barr is charming as the "girl," in the comedy revue. Her voice is unusually good an her dan cing one of the best things in the act. v Naio and Rizzo, who open the bill with "The Act With a Kick," receive about as much applause as the head line act. They play remarkably well, one the violin and the other the ac cordion. Their solos are particularly fine. Although their jazz numbers are pop ular, "My Old Kentucky Home" came in for even more applause. Dick Gardner and Anna Revere have an offering which contains any of the thrills of vaudeville all rolled into one act. Dick has a most remarkable habit of turning with ease from juggling to card tricks, from magic to a touching solo on the man dolin, and he seems to "enjoy all his varied accomplishments as much as the audience. . " Anna, who is attractive and as quick of wit as Dick, offers good sup port. - She sings a bit and dances, too, and between- them both most of the acts common to vaudeville are able to be combined into one .har monious number. Snell and Vernon in "An Artistic Diversion" do clever acrobatic work in an attractive setting, swinging about from almost any place with perfect abandon. Nell and Elsie Gilbert, who present "Gems of Joy," -are dainty misses with fine voices. Their dancing is as good as their singing, and both their steps and songs are new. The photoplay is "The Great Re deemer," with House Peters. This bill will run until Thursday. Irrigation Agents for North ern Pacific in Town. PARTY TO 'SEE INDUSTRY Exhibit . or Oregon Products Will Be Shown Field Men Listing West's Opportunities.

"The Idea is to see the show places and note the .failures in various dis tricts. Many places are omitted that we would like to include in the Itinerary, birt it is necessary that the men should reach their respective homes before election day.
