POLICE SENT TO COVER SIGHT OP MAX WITH SMALLPOX CACSES PAXIC. When Man Kntprg Station Officers. Flee Auto Conveys Patient to the Festhouse. roliremen scurried to every available refuge when L S. Bates, laborer, en tered the station early yesterday and asked to see a doctor, saying that he bad a breaking-out on his fare. "Red" Rupert took one look at the man's face and gasped "smallpox." Then he scurried upstairs and was seen no more. Tatrolman Hutrhlngs, In charge of the desk at the moment dodged under the counter and allowed the Imagined germs to go over his head. The only cool person In the station waa veteran Ben Branch, who came forward with hla trusty atomiser and made a spray of formaldehyde all around the patient. He also confirmed Rupert's hasty diagnosis. Patrolman 8haffer.. driver of the po lice automobile, was summoned and di rected to take the man to the pest house at Kelly Butte. The driver made the long trip, imagining every moment that he could feel a germ biting the back of hla neck. So troubled of mind waa he. that he lost the road several times and waa gone so long that his romrsdes began to fear that he. too. had been stricken. Rates, who Is 1 years old aad a transient laborer, wa placed In the pesthouse and the vehicle which carried him waa thoroughly fumigated. BOY IS CAUGHT SMOKING Lad of ii Years.

RIGHT In keeping with the spirit of Jolification manifest at this sea son Is the Orpheum entertainment, real good entertainment, too and possessed of variety enough to please the most blase patron. First, there is Dick Crolius and a batch of co-players in a down-to-our-level comedy called "Shorty Eleva tion" It Isn't so much the plot of the story, although that In itself Is novel, if not new. but the principal charm lies In Shorty's exquisite slang. The playlet concerns the efforts of a maiden In a get-rich-quick-suJdenly family to wed a Lord Algy Fitscoo dle. and the machinations set at work to prevent it by her brother. Shorty, who can't forget, and makea no pre tenses at forgetting, that they hailed originally from the tenement district. Mr. Crolius la a wixard in the gabble line and an actor who commands In terest. All his assistants deliver the goods. Next in interest is a duo of prat tlers In' Dutch lingo. Oeorge Carson and Jake Willard. who this visit bring a mess of funnyisma bound all 'round with the title of "The Dutch in China." Garbed in (exaggerated Oriental ap parel, posed against a background allowing pagodas and the Chinese wall, these two men offer a diverting line of new Jokes and songs with an occasional dancing step thrown in for good measure. Reminiscent cf Gardner Crane's Pullman car -act is one put over by Monroe Hopkins and Loja Axtell. They call their tinkling little travesty "Traveling." and It con cerna the ups and downa of a "Dearie" and Mrs. Dearie In an emporium of slumber on wheels. Miss Axtell Is a dainty damael who helps Mr. Hopkins, comedian in no amall measure. Their dialogue I crisp and new and if we hadn't aeen Mrs. Crane's act so recent ly, this would be the funniest thing imaginable. As It It, It's rollicking. One of the finest bits of entertain ment, that Is educational aa well as highly unusual, is the exhibition of color photography, the newest dis covery In the art of the cam era man. The display, which takea the form of doxens of beautiful views thrown on the curtain, ta made under direction of Sidney McGinnis. the In ventor of the process. Mr. McGinnis ex plains entertainingly the process prior to his exhibition, and chats informally while the pictures are bein? flashed. The opening act Is a winner. Loa Durbyelle. an atractlve woman, glvea a series of finger shadow pictures. Her list embraces everything that ever got into a shadow picture. A girl who has the distinction of having "drummed her way around the world" is Ethel McDonough. who is heard in two indifferent songs. A bath ing girl episode cotnmande the atten tion when she gives a picturesque ex hibition of a "lady drummer." Her "technique" with the stick i at least rapid, but she cannot and should not eing. An act that starts nicely and ends in a rough-and-tumble wrestling match between two fat girls is called Will Roehm's Athletic Girls. They are cer talnly not. Two dainty misses give a fencing exhibition that Is artistic, and the bag-punching has merit. Even the boxing bout between the "athlet ics" Is possible, but the wrestling match Is vulgar and decidedly not like the Orpheum. Pan (ages. THERE 1 entertainment In every one of the six acts at Pantages this week. It Is. in fact, a holiday week programme. There are singers that really sing and dancers that dance and funmakers that do It spon taneously. Bretland and Well, who call themselves "College Boys." and look the part, sing two or three songs in most pleasing fashion. -They have excellent voices and method and their patter is bright. Will F. Herbe.t and the two Lng.weed Sisters do a song and dance act that Is new and enter taining. Herbert does some weird dances. One of them he said he got from St. Vitus. The audience believed him. Clarence Bowen's company of Georgia Campers srlve a real colored minstrel show with their "Scenea in the South." They demonstrate to what extent all the rag-time dancers that ever danced are Indebted to the genial African. Mr. Bowen's assist ants not only know how to dance, but they csn sing In a way. to set the audi ence beating time. George Hlllman does a monologue entitled "The German Chauffeur" that gives him an opportunity to get off a lot of rapid-fire witticisms. The Dellemesd Troupe present a series of Interesting groupings of statuary by living models. Miss Viola Galarmo doea a flying ladder act. There la the usual moving-picture film. Empress. MODESTLY described In the pre gramme as the Irish wit. W. J. Coleman, appearing at the Empress Theater this week, has a line of com edy and a repertoire of clever songs which entitle him to prominence In the way of adjectlvea deacrlptlve of his contribution to the entertainment. His comedy is not forced nd he has a pleasing singing voice. One may Justly apply the term headllner to every act on the Empress bill this week. "Erin's Isle" is the title of an act In which the scenlo ef fects are beautiful. The drops pic ture Muckross Abbey, an Irish farm yard and an old mill beside the Lakes of Klllarney. Ireland. The musical numbers Include "Killerney" and "Come Back to Erin." Hortense Rearle makes a decided hit as the Irish colleen and the vocalist of the troupe. Calvert Dean and Let a Price put on a college skit in which there is a good deal of original and pleasing comedy. They kept the audience laughing. Maglln, Eddy and Nichols are e,omlc tumblers with a clever and entertaining act in which there is the sparkle of originality. A half doxen comely Swiss women and a man, who specializes in Swiss peasant dances, make up the Sarnthal er troup of Tyrolean serensders. They are clever vocalists with pleas ing voices and make good with the audience. At and Jack Gruet, blackface comed ians, described as the "Merry Minstrel Men." put on a conglomeration of in strumental music, dialogue and "stunts" which won the audience yes terday. Lyric. T HERE are an even doxen solos and I choruses In "The School Girl." the attraction for holiday week at the Lyric Theater. They are sung with better effect than anyth'ng thi pop ular company has yet offered. There is a pajama chorus and pillow fight at the end of Llllte Sutherland's song. "Maybe That's a Goblin' Coming Now, that had to be repeated three times at yesterday's matinee. Another chorus that the audience liked was the "Snow ball Song." sung by Myrtle Guild and the Lyric show girls. At the end of the refrain the audience was pelted with cotton snowballs. Edward Allen and Maybelle Baker sing a song called "Villains in the Play." Jack Wise makes a hit with his Italian dialect song. "Marlanina." There is mora plot to this week s When Your good hard cash goes into real estate Yon are right in in sisting upon a Cer tificate of Title, be canse it carries with. it protection against loss.- Investigate. Call for booklet. Title & Trust Co. Fourth and Oak show than is the case usually. A gay young widow sends her daughter to the school of Professor Cohenski to separate her from an admirer of whom the mother disapproves. The girl proves to be a female Peck's Bad Boy and makes the professor so much trouble that the mother is sent for. On her j arrival she accepts the attentions of tne scnooimsster. xne aaugmcr s ouy cotted sweetheart, who has been at tending the school as a farm hand, now makes himself known, claims the girl, and everything ends happily. Edward S. Allen plays the part of Professor Cohenski. the schoolmaster, and Frank Vack plays Louie Leberwurst, a smart boy. Maybelle Baker Is the Mrs. Fair love, and Lillie Sutherland is the daughter. Jack Wise is especially good aa Pedro Romeo, an Italian.
