Clever Acrobat I sed to Cry His Extras at Broadway and Yamhill, Where Wo-w He Throws S The corner of Broadway and Yamhill always was a farorlto spot with Jake Malvern, who is doing funny stunts in an acrobatic rousrh-house at the Empress Theater this week. More than :0 years ago Jake earned his living selling newspapers on the Identical corner where he now ls throwing fancy somersaults, managing a troop of other nimble acrobats and draw ing down a salary that would have made him gasp to think about In the old days. Malvern's real name is Kell. Local old-timers will remember the lively little paper merchant, with the pene trating voice, as the son of J. J. Kell. it the pioneer merchant firm of Keil & Wagner, whose store was at Fourth and Washington streets. Kell. Sr., was an active member of the Turnvereln and it was at the Turnvereln that young Jacob first learned tumbling and other acrobatic stunts. At tho Kell ranch. In Milwau kle. which is still held by the Kell family, a spacious gymnasium was built and equipped and there the unique talents of the younster were developed to such an extent that later he found no difficulty in getting en gagements on the stage. When tho Portland Athletic Club was farmed, because of the giant sta ture and athletic prowess of Jacob, he was selected for the position of left guard on the football team, and. In a series of brilliant victories that fol lowed, he was accredited with the major share of laurels. Malvern has many relatives and nu merous friends in PDrtland, and dur ing his week here is as busy off the stage as he ls on it. In the wild scram ble of the Malvern "rough-house." Jo seph Kell, a deputy In the City Audi tor's office. Is his brother, and Mrs. F. Hoesly, of Mllwaukle, ls a sister. Paul Malvern, the boy tumbler of the Malvern troop, was born at St. Vin cent's Hospital. Womitii Is Injured by Auto. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., July 22. (Special.)
