Mimical Maids, Singing; Trio, Skit Comic Trapeze Art and Fair Acrobats Make Good Bill. One can almost see the woods, the fcird and the brook, so suggestive of a wild, free, wood-nymph is Margaret Edwards in her two classic dances with which she delights Pantages au diences this week. In her airy little pink and green Grecian costumes, the pretty dancer Is like a demure fairy, with all the grace and rhythm Imag inable, combined with art. poise and expression. Mis Edwards, who is widely known as "The Truth Girl," from her recent success in the film play, "The Hypocrites." was, as a child, small and delicate, so, besides her dances, she also gives an interesting demonstration of some of the exercises which helped to develop her perfect figure. A sextet of versatile maids are the Kirksmith Sisters, who appear behind burning incense urns, and not only play violins, cornets, saxophones and the piano well, but also sing admirably. Everyone of them is talented, pretty and young, and the little directress still has her blonde locks in braids and ribbons. In their act a violin ren dition of "Thais" and a sweet soprano solo. "Can This Be Love?" drew etorms of applause. Good voices, catchy song hits and lots of vim and sparkle, distinguish the Fisher. Schaffer and Rockaway number. Their imitation of three pop ular American stars were both clever and enjoyable. "Falling for Her." by Hally and Koble. a comedy dialogue and singing act. full of fun and giggles, is a hu morous ridicule on dare-devil feats, worked up in an aeroplane skit. A regular circus act, with trapeze and clown, is the work of the Flying Fishers, who are an endless source of amusement for the children. The Three Weber Sisters are an in teresting group of agile girls whose performance embodies youth and vigor. THEFT OF $500 IS CHARGED Former Superintendent of Eilers' Building Being Sought. Charged with embezzling more than $500, secured mostly in rentals from tennants of , the Maegly-Tlchenor (Eilers) building, at Broadway and Alder streets, the police are searching for Daniel W. Palmer, former superin tendent of the building, who disap peared early in June. A reward of $50 is offered for information leading to his arrest. A complaint against Palmer was sworn out by A. H. Eilers Saturday, and yesterday the first circulars were Issued by Chief of Folic Clerk, J. K. MURRAY TELLS OF EARLY PORTLAND VISIT Pali Racy, of "Sari, Recalls Appearance Here in '86 With Thompson Opera Company and Other Incidents in His Career. "I BY LEONE CASS BAER. T was in '86 that I first came to Portland." said Polly Ratz. But the register at the Gilman House where Polly Ratz stayed didn't put him down by that name. He was J. K. Mur ray then, and, of course. Is yet, for that matter; but ,for this week, to all of us who see him at the Heilig in "Sari," he is the famous old gypsy violinist, Pali Racz pronounced Polly Ratz. Because he is a man star. Mr. Murray consented to delve back Into history. I wouldn't dare ask an actress to go further back than the Omaha Fair. Mr. Murray doesn't mind In the least, and said so. IUm Due to Portlanders. "It was either '86 or "87," he said, "and I know I came here as a general utility man with the Thompson Opera Company, and that Portland people raised me to stellar heights in the 16 weeks I played at the old Casino. I remember that the finest people in Portland were personal friends of our company members and our social rela tions were of the best. "Everyone in Portland attended the opera; every night our theater was filled. They used to throw money onto the stage, and on one occasion, when I was given a benefit performance, the audience fairly showered the stage with money. "I remember that I used to study ray role while I sat on the foundation walls of the Portland Hotel. Only about three feet of wall stuck up out of the ground for a long time. I'm glad to see it's finished now." Selling of Papers Recalled. Mr. Murray is of English birth, but he came to America when a youth and went to work in Pittsburg. It is with pride he recalls that he sold one of the first papers issued by the Pittsburg Leader in "71, owned then by John Pittock. "He was one of the best friends I ever had. He heloed everybody, and took an especial liking for me, and helped me a great deal," said Mr. Murray. "I was known in Pittsburg as the boy singer, and Mr. Pittock got me engagements, encouraged my career and took an active interest in me. I sang for Presidents Garfield and Arthur and at private parties. Odd Jobs Done, "I did all sorts of odd jobs, worked as a sign painter and in Andy Car negie's big steel plant. Through a millowner named Milliken, who had me sing at a party he gave, I got a letter to his brother, a theatrical law yer in New York. He, in turn, got me a place wtih Catherine Lewis, who was then the chief comic opera prima donna. It was an unfortunate season, and out of my eight weeks I saved $7. But I got lots of experience, and then I went with McCall, who was then the greatest impresario of comic opera. But I couldn't advance in his company. st" P St rife v ' I I , :'l'iS;iJi 1 J. I. Murray, Leading; Man' With Mlzzt Hajos at HeillK. Who Tells of Old Times In Portland. Everyone had certain roles and kept them. Thompson Company Joined. "So when I heard that the Thomp son Company was coming to the Pa cific Coast on a tour I Joined them. It was a fly-by-night organization, but a most excellent one. In the company were Bebe Vining, Phil Branson, Wil lette Seaman; the prima donna was Fanny Hall and her husband, A. W. F. McCollin (Andy, we called him) was stage director and manager." During the Casino engagement the company played "The Mikado," "Pi rates of Penzance," "Pinafore," "Fra Diavolo." "Bohemian Girl," "Billy Taylor," "Patience," "Heart and Hand" and ran one week of each opera. Then they"d start the list all over. After they closed here they went to San Francisco and while singing in "The Mikado" one night at the old Califor nia Theater William Carlton heard Mr. Murray and offered him a place with the Carlton Opera Company. He joined it and came back for a Portland en gagement. Clara Lane was the prima donna and Jeannie Winston played the leading male roles. Clara Lane Interests Him. "She was a Dig. striking actress and a beautiful singer," said Mr. Murray, "but naturally I was most Interested in Clara Lane, for she became Mrs. Murray in the first year of my en gagement with the Carlton Company."

We Just want the principals to be chair men of committees to report to us. The Juvenile Judge will be resorted to to bring the parents to time if they are in need of advice.

Thin folks eat enough but the flesh-making elements do not reach the blood, and pass from the body as waste. Try eating a Sargol tablet with every meal and you will quickly note the difference. Sargol mixes with your food and turns its strength, fat and tissue-building elements into solid, healthy flesh. You can fairly watch your weight go up, your face and body fill out and strength and vigor increase day by day.
