DANCER'S EYES ENCHANT Clever Songs and Fun-Making Arc Entertainment That Only Hypo chondriac Can Object To. Trick to Be Tried Today. BT LEONE CASS BAER. O? course, we all knew exactly how he did it, that Houdini King of Mystery person at the Orpheum, but somehow or other our theories don't hold water. The act holds water, however, in fact there's the rub. Does he go in It or doesn't he and if he does why isn't he drowned dead ike a rat when he stays under it. Head first, for long minutes, and if he isn t in the water why is the tank full of it when he emerges, smiling and pert? Of course we all know how he did it. Yes we do not! If even one of ns did we'd be richer by some thousand dol lars today. For that's just what Hou dini. the escaping dare-devil, offers to any wise one who can find the answer. Watery Prison .Escaped. Houdini Is truly at the top of the list of trurtk mysteries, for he lets himself be locked and tied and barricaded in a trunk not taking up much more space than his own body, and filled to its brim with nice Bull Run water. We see the water hosed in, we see Houdini with his feet fastened through a stock-like brace, we see him lowered nto the tank and a million bolts and bars put on the closed trunk. A curtain is drawn while an attend ant counts the minutes on a stop watch. A whisking aside of the cur tain, and presto, there is Houdini hopping briskly to the footlights with a see-I-fooled- em-again look. He has another trick, too, in which he swallows two separate packages of needles, and several yards of sewing thread, and then while we are wonder ing if he'll have a stitch in his side he calmly spits or expectorates, anyway he draws out the thread with the ten thousand needles strung along it. Dansreroun Trick Tried Today. He ought to make a good divorce Judge he can untie knots so fast- This noon he is going to extricate himself from a straltjacket while hanging head downward from a fire escape on The Oregonian building.

She flirts with death on the rine-s. which, she says, are not so dangerous as wedding rings. Marie sings, chants, rather, and keeps up a cheery chatter with her awed and delighted audience. Fairy Dancer's Eyes Enchant. Elsie Fay is fairylike and has scan dalous eyes. She sings and dances with two dress-suit boys. Joe Miller ana Jonn Hogan, who have dandv voices and pep In their toes. Their ragtime wedding is a riot of joy. Right here comes a line about the novelty Clintons, the cleverest opening act weve had in ages. Mister Clinton is a reg'ly human frog. He can jump twice his own length and almost into the flies. He skims through hoops feet first, and in one remarkable in stance dons a complete wardrobe while sailing through space. A buxom beauty with a nappy smile assists materially. Aiaoeii L,ewi8 is as big as the prover bial grasshopper and has an inverse ratio of ginger.
