LOCIS JAMES ACCORDED HON ORS FOR CLEVER SKETCH. Among Other Good Number. Portland Boy's Performance Wins Applause of Audience. The Empress management was more than generous when it arranged this week's bill. Every number is good and there's plenty of variety. Topping the list is a delightful little comedy in which Mrs, Louis James, the gifted young widow of the celebrated Shakespearean actor, is the star. The plot cleverly unwound reveals the eter nal triangle and one woman's way of solving the problem. "Holding a Hus band Is the title r the offering which gives pointers to women whose "bet ter halves" are possessed of wandering affections.

There's not a dull moment on Pan- tages' new programme not one act that fails to hold close interest. The best thins about it all is that there's something for everybody on the bill. The headline act is especially of noteworthy conspicuousness. Ed F. Reynard, a foxy chap dressed in a long men duster, motors onto the staKe In a life-size car and proceeds to interview the natives in Hicksville. Mr. Reynard a ventriloquist, one of the best in the business, and he proves his mettle every minute as the old queer folk of the village pass in review. A. Burt Wesner, a San Francisco stock favorite. and Jlay Nannary, another real favorite of the Pacific Coast, present a sketch that Is far above the usual run. Its taking quali ties are due mostly to the finished character portrayals of Mr. Wesner and Miss Nannary as two old Irish folk. who are observing their 30th wedding anniversary. The story is of parental ove. Harvey Orr and Chauncey Sothern appear as the sons, playing most ca pably. The sketch Is called "Father's Way, but it turns out to be "Mother's Way." An act that is so delightful the audi ence didn't want It ever to end is of- ered by Josie Mclntyre, a laughing. pretty maid, and Bob Harty, who is well and hearty. He is fat and wears queer clothes. She Is pretty and wears a smart frock. Both sing beautifully. .Best of all. thev are natural comedians. Their act is a dandy. Rose Garden looks like her name and sings pleasingly. She is a joyous creature, too, and fetches laughs. Open- ng tne Dill is a corking good number, an athletic acrobatic. balancing. umbling diversion, that for sheer nov elty captures the cake. Delton, Mareena and Delton present It and It is one of the fine, fresh acts of the bill. JV RS. HAZEL TACKELS. alias Dolly St. Denis, fired two shots in the Municipal Courtroom last Thursday In an attempt to revenge hereelf on her divorced husband. Judge John H. Ste venson realized yesterday for the first time how close to death he had stood, when a friend called his attention to a neat bullet hole in the front of his coat. "Is that where you got shot?" asked the friend, laughingly, pointing to circular hole torn in the coat. It was me. iirst time juage Stevenson had noted the mark left by the hot lead. "I knew that second shot, must have come pretty cloBe to me. he remarked. It was the presence of mind of Judge Stevenson himself which stemmed the fusillade of shots Thursday, for he wrested the smoking revolver from the hand of the young woman as she was pressing the trigger for a third shot. The first shot went wild when Bailiff Johnson struck the woman's arm, and buried itself in the wall above the judge. Before the second could be fired Judge Stevenson had leaped from his chair, passed across th na.th pointed by the muzzle of the sr"n and had grasped Mrs. Tackels' hand. The shot that cut through the judge's coat to the right of the lower front button missed his body bv a fraction of an inch and inflicted a flesh wound on Mrs. Wlllametta McElroy, court stenographer. - "1 had but two ideas," mused Judge Stevenson in reminiscenr yesterday. "One was to get out of range of the gun, the other to get the revolver away from the woman. I executed botn with what rapidity I could." THEATER PARTIES- MANY Closing 1MJ1 at Orpheum Attracting Good Attendance. With numerous theater nnrtiaa o formed among Portland neighborhoods, in clubs and among friends, the clos ing week of the Orpheum gives promise of being made notable in the history of Portland's theatrical row.

Among the quaint and beautiful num bers to be given by the Barrere En semble tomorrow night at the Heilig the closing concert of the Steers & Coman season will be the Musette by Q. Pfeiffer for oboe, clarinet and bas soon. This calls to mind charming Wctteau scenes, when the lovely dames of Louis XV's court posed as shep herdesses, and grrand seigneurs as shop herds, the pastural dance "musette" be ing then In great favor at court. The quaint music of this dance gener ally has a pedal bass answering to the drone of a bagpipe, the upper part abounding in grace notes and rapid passages.

Next Sunday the white carnation will be worn all over the United States. Why? Because it is Mothers' day. It is a day set aside by the Nation in which to give respect and reverence to the motherhood of the country. The day is observed by every state in the Union. In Portland it will be observed in the churches by special sermons dedi cated to the mothers of the city, and special musical programmes will be provided. The schools will observe the occasion Friday and business- and other organizations Saturday. Mothers day was founded bv Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia. During the last session of Congress Thomas J. Helfin asked that the President of the United States should designate the sec ond Sunday in May, through an annual proclamation, as Mothers day, and "request that the flag be displayed on all Government buildings, homes and other suitable places." The first National Mothers' day proclamation was made by President Wilson, May 9, 1914, asking that May 10 be observed. The United States is the first Nation to give countrywide tribute to the home, the fountain head of the state, and to its sons and daughters "for their work for the home, for moral uplift and religion, for the good of the Government and humanity." The honor is not confined to the mothers, as the fathers are included. In fact, its primary object is "observ ance for the well being and honor of the home." As such It will be observed in Portland next Sunday. QUEEN NOMINEE, ILL, QUITS Admen Probably Will Xame Succes sor to Miss Pike Tomorrow.
