Third, and TamhlU tvAdT, HAPPY little reunion was held over a dainty tea-table set for two at the Hotel Benson early yesterday afternoon,' when Irene Oshier. leading woman of the Baker Players, snatched half an hour between rehear sals to sip oolong with her old friend. Mabel Cameron, who is playing in the clever sketch. "The Bridegroom For got." at Marcus Loew'a K.mnrcan tui. week. When Miss Oshier w Kmin tv.- role of "The Poor Little Kch Girl" tn .eWr.York 8he became a great friend or Miss Cameron, who was then resting between strenuous seasons with travel ing productions. Their meeting yes terday In Portland was doubly Interest ing because Miss Oshier now holds the position with the Baker Players for merly held by Miss Cameron, who was with the Baker Players for several weeks In 1911. "It was my first, last and only ex perience In stock," said Miss Cameron, and I take off my hat to Miss Oshier and all other valiant stock actresses. How they can uerform tht faa memory they do, forgetting one role, playing another and learning a third, all at the same time, is more than I can understand. I had had quite a lot oi experience in traveling productions, but didn't realize what I was attempt ing when I went Into stock. I had Just recovered from typhoid fever, which may have made it harder, hut thn, to-a, weeks always will remain a nightmare iu me. naa many splendid friends In Portland, and grew to love this North western city, but I simply could not memorize all those roles In such rapid succession, and as soon as Mr. Baker could engage some one to take my place I was glad to sret luck tn th. steady productions and vaudeville.

FALSE TEETH BASE PLOT Musical Blacksmiths Make Surpris ing Changes, Lanky Funster De lights, "Little Caruso" Is Charmer, Others Amuse. A nicely balanced bill has Pantages this week, with a farce comedy, "Billy's Tombstones," heading the list. This funny, foolish little sketch hasn't lost any of its laughing qualities, and a capital little company, headed by Edgar Atchison Ely, presents it. The tomb stones delicately referred to are the hero Billy's teeth, which he loses aboard a steamer and around which consequent situations the little farce has been written. Mr. Ely is a merrymaker for fair. Slaley. Burbeck and Slaley are musi cal blacksmiths who make melody out of anvils and hammers and tongs. They weld a wheel rim set to musical pound ings and put a wagon together. One of the men gives a blithe soft-shoe dance, and then, at the shrill blast of whistle, blackness reigns on the stage for one minute. Another whistle blast and a parlor scene is shown with the three, formerly garbed in smithy s ap parel, now wearing evening clothes. After another musical programme, this time with piano, violin and 'cello, the whistle blows rgain and the three are back in the blacksmith's shop. The act is in a spotlight by itself. Joe Lanigan, long and lean and laugh-making, ambles in and gets rid of a weight on his chest in the form of songs and parodies. He makes cap ital out of his physical architecture, and hands his nose a lot of bouquets. The audience liked Joe Immensely. A beautiful voice has "Little Caruso," who sings with his brother. Caruso the second has a tenor voice unusually sweet and sympathetic. The two make an effective entrance glid ing along in a gondola and singing. Dunn and Mitchell have a lively of fering in " The Lemon City Land Agent." One of the two Is a "wise guy" land shark, the other is Uncle Rube from Chicago's suburbs. They chin and bunco each other before an amazingly real picture of Lemon City as It Is to be, and then, with a change of curtains, they saunter into Lemon City as It really is. The audience rel ishes mightily the real estate comedy. A comedy hoop-roiling act presented by the three Kraytons departs from the old line of hoop-rolling, and as a finale the two men form the spokes in a wheel and roll about the stage. LYRIC HAS BIG LAt'GHMAKER "Money to Burn," Extremely Comi cal, and Entire Cast Shines. "Money to Burn" is the title of a clever one-act play at the Lyric The ater. The plot is written in a new style by Al Franks, leading man. The costumes worn in "Money to Burn" are fresh and a riot of color, red predom inating in the chorus. Al Franks, as Izzy Cohen, and Lew Dunbar, once more a Dutchman, are in fatuated with a charming widow, the character played by Jeanne Mai, the leading woman, who Is a singer as well as a finished actress. The widow will not consider their proposals because they are too rich to make her happy. Iltuuo uu:h of the suitors plans to rid himself of his fortune. No matter how fast the good-natured Dutchman lets his thousands go, some thing always happens to bring him as much money as he has wasted. In despair Cohen and his rival suitor make a bonfire of all their money. Then, after being improverishea they discover that the widow has married another. Ethel Burney, who has graduated from the chorus Into the cast, receives much applause. Marie Celestlne led the chorus in a song introducing minstrel riddles, in which every chorus girl got in a few words effectually winning ap plause. Nine musical numbers.

He's a scream. T. F. Mulll gan Is Andy Schultzenheimer from police headquarters. The plot is fair ana tne acting above the ordinary. Billed as high-class vocalists and living well up to their reputation are Virgil Holmes and Marjorle Riley, who sing soios ana auets.
