MAIL ORDERS FOR ELMAN Mall Orders for Violin Recital Will Be Taken, Beginning Thursday. Mlscha Hman's coming to the Hellig Theater on the evening of May 10 has certainly eclipsed everything elee in the musical world, for never before has Port land had the opportunity of hearing an artist in the very first year of his great Eastern successes. Elman has been the sensation everywhere this Winter, and, ever nince the first drawing of his bow across the violin strings, the world of art and music has sat enthralled over his playing. The famous young Russian will play here May 10. at the Hellig Theater, and mail orders for seats for the conceits will be accepted after next Thursday morning. April 22, if sent with check or money order to Lois Steers-Wynn Coman, 308 Columbia building. These mail orders are for in-town as well as for the benefit of out-of-town music-lovers. PLEADS GUILTY, IS FINED Fred Wilcox Must Pay $100 for Mailing Obscene Letter. Fred Wilcox. 20 years old, member of a well-known family of Grass Valley, Or., pleaded guilty in the Federal Court yes terday morning to an indictment charging him with sending an obscene letter through the malls, and was sentenced to pay a fine of 100 and imprisonment in the County Jail for 30 days. He declared that he was ignorant of the fact that the act constituted a crime. He asked for an immediate sentence, and, in view of his previous good character and youth, the court imposed a light penalty, although Judge Wolverton took occasion to lecture the young man severely on the gravity of the offense. Menace to Xavigatton. John McNulty. nautical expert in charge of the local branch of the Hy drographic " Office, has published the following notice to mariners: Captain Gaukreger of the British ship Aala. reports that on March 2S, in latitude 34:.'i4 north. longitude 142:53 east. p' i"iugjra Japanese sampan, about 30 feet long and 8 feet beam A telegram from Redondo.

I J e I if 1 New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Orpheum. BY ARTHVR a. sreene. TWO turns of unusual quality and a number of others that compel atten tion are offered at the Orpheum this week, and the ultimate result is a pleas ing entertainment. With the Kirmess over and Ient a thing of the past, there should be a marked increase in theater attendance, and the merit of the Or pheum's show will undoubtedly draw its full share of the patronage. The big attractions mentioned above are "Cupid at Home," a farce which sat irizes the suffragette fad deliclously. It is presented by Angela Dolores. Harry English and Edward Moran. Miss Do lores ls a handsome young woman who possesses unusual talent and wears some 'ery attractive sartorial creations. Her methods are those of the legitimate stage and represent considerable of a departure from the customary vaudeville skit. Mr. English portrays the henpecked husband ludicrously and also shows the results of good schooling. The audience was especially enthusi astic over Lew Sully, veteran minstrel man, who Introduces a new act which ha calls "Words and Music." He appears in "whlteface," but in costume, and sings his own songs, all of them new to Port land. The best of them is "Wise Old Robinson Crusoe." The others are "The Merry Widow Craze." which has become a trifle passe, "Adam Was a Lucky Man," and "Oirls." His monologue ls mirth provoking without ever becoming silly. "Jealous About Nothing," a melodious comedietta, is the offering of Thomas H. Persee, a well-known tenor, who has ap peared here a number of times before. There Is not much to the sketch, except that it gives Mr; Persee an excuse for singing a number of songs very well. Hawthorne and Burt sing and dance and Indulge in airy persiflage quite suc cessfully, the eccentric steps of the He brew impersonator being the particular feature. Robert Rosaire and Phil Doreta are comedy tumblers who carry a good stage set and perform some difficult and funny stunts. Helen Herndon opens tne performance in some passably entertaining impersona tions, and the Melnotte Twins and Clay Smith do a rather tiresome act .much like a hundred others that consist chiefly of imitations, of the impossible George M. Cohan. Attractive Orpheum moving pic tures conclude the performance, as usual. Grand. "THE main attraction at the Grand this week is May Ward's eight Dresden Dolls, featuring Jessie Morriss. a dainty comedienne. The act consists of a musi cal fantasy in four scenes, combining catchy songs and a medley of old min strelsy and plantation steps. The par ticipants are faithful copies of large-sized Dresden Doll-bables. After each matinee some lucky child, who secures the pro gramme with coupon attached, is the recipient of a handsome doll, a replica of the ones on the stage. An additional attraction this week Is the playlet "Twixt Dawn and Daylight," as presented by V. I Granville. The act is a dream creation, probably the result of a welsh rarebit supper, and the distinct characters of the spendthrift, his uncle, a process server, the butler, and the housekeeper, are all portrayed with near lightning changes by Granville. There is another act very similar in style, given by Norton and Russell, who also are quick-change artists. They con tribute several songs, and don appropriate costumes for each. In rapid succession they present a Colonial Dame, a Chinese act, a Mexlcano song and dance, a Turk ish gent and a sinuous, slippery scintillat ing "Salome," a Russian Soldier, with Irish trousers and a trombone; the regu lation and accepted East Side Bowery types, and best of all, an Italian woman organ-grinder and an animated monk. Duff and Walsh are dancers, and two better steppers never trod the local boards; their work as a team Is so much in unison that one wonders how they ever remember which' leg goes next. An act that goes well is presented by the Meeh International Trio, equilibrists. who perform new and difficult balancing tests. Harry McDuffee is this week singing a song that seems to please, "Gee, I Wish That I Had a Girl." Pantages. A LTHOL GH not appearing as the headline attraction on the Pantages new bill this week, one of the most inter esting acts is that given by Harland and Rollinson, an eccentric musical sketch which is full of surprises. Out of the most unmusical-looking objects the duo bring forth excellent harmony, from rag time to grand opera. Imitate various in struments with the concertina, having an assortment of the latter instrument from the life-sized ones down to the tiny vest pocket size. One of the team is genu inely funny, in addition to being gifted musically. Billed as a European act ls Rafayette's acrobatic dogs, who are an exceptionally clever aggregation, a sextet of fox ter riers, two ferocious bulls apd a white skye-terrter of the powder-puff variety. They have a number of new tricks, the skye acting as a chauffeur for a canine automobile party. The six singing and dancing girls of Morgan and McGarry's soft and wooden shoe dancers evidently learned their sing ing from the correspondence school. They are all good dancers, however, and should allow this feature alone to win them hon ors. The team-work of the two men Is especially good and the girls are grace ful and make six lightning costume changes. Jean Wilson, the Pantages fa forlte. sang "I Miss Tou in a Thousand Different Ways." and was received with enthusiasm. Scott and Wilson have an eccentric sketch.

There never was a great er mistake. The very first symptom of defective eyesight, the first indication of fatigue, should be recognized as Na ture's call for help. To persist in forcing the eyes to perform work too great for their endur ance is simply an abuse of the most precious sense we have. We believe that a greater per centage of cataracts and other diseases of the eye is brought about by this habit than from all other causes combined. If you have the slightest suspi cion that your eyes are not per fectly correct, we want you to feel at liberty to consult with us at any time.
