The special Thanksgiving bill last
evening at the Scenic was especially
good, One of the most pleasing at
tractions was the turn by Helen Bran
don and Blanch Bishop. They make
a strong team and it seems a sin to
spoil so good a combination by dis
solving the team. " They caught v the
house with their football skit In which
they gave the La Grande yell with all
the Vim of young Grady himself. As
a matter, of fact, It has been Bald upon
man has had the ladles upon the roof
of the theater a couple of hours each
day for the past week, drilling them
on the various difficult features of
this specially composed yell. This fcet
took so well With the football boys,
that early this morning flowers began
to arrive from the well pleased mem
bers of the football squad for this
popular vaudeville team, and by noon
additional room In which to place them
had to be provided. Willie Peare says
that he can plainly see why Miss
Bishop was able to handle the yell so
scientifically, as she undoubtedly drew
Inspiration from his white and blue
cap which she wore during the act.
There wTll be an entire change of bill
this evening. Madam Hoyt will again
dot her great balancing act ipon the
rolling globe, while she Juggles fire,
flags and discs. This is a strong act
and' always brings hearty applause.
The feature bill for this evening Is
the groat spectacular film, "Th Lights
and Shadow of China Town." This
film shows the world famous San
Francisco Chinatown as It was before
the earthquake. It Is a strong num
ber and one which is sure to please.
