LYPilG STUNT MAKES KIT
PRETTY RlBY lAMi SIXGS PICK
ANINNY TO SLEEP ON STAGE.
lloiinr, Surprised Into Silence, Roars as
VVcepln Little One Is Lulled
Into Slumber.
Pretty Miss Ruby Lang, leading
woman at the Lyric Theater, created
a near-sensation yesterday at the open
ing performance, when she sang "Close
Dat Eye," with a wee pickaninny In
her arms.
The first part of her song won ap
plause, both for its rendition and for
the singularity of a baby on the stage,
but when she turned and the audience
saw a weeping little colored baby, there
was a dead silence for several minutes,
then the whole house roared and ac
cepted the joke as a good surprise.
The baby will remain an addition to
the company all -week, for Miss Lang
will sing it to sleep at each perform
ance. "Cabaret De Luke" was the musical
comedy given, with Dillon and King In
their usual uproarious comedy roles of
"Mike" and "Ike." "Mike" is married
to Miss Lang, and "Ike" was, as usual,
in pursuit. of a sweetheart. Mike plays
the races and his wife goes on a clan
destine expedition. George was Frank
Harrington, Billy Mansfield the funny
waiter; Laurette, Vilma Steech, and
Tessie TeddyaDue.
The dozen pretty chorus girls are as
winning as ever, and in jaunty, fresh
costumes. With the Columbia quartet
they open the play with "That Lovin'
Traumerer" and "Here's to the Land
We Love." Billy Mansneld made a
"hit" with "Come to the Beautiful
Ragtime Ball." -
A unique and applauded number was
"Rosebud," sung by Miss Vilma Stech,
and the chorus, attired In pink flower-
girl costumes. Miss Stech scored an
other point of popularity when, with
Billy Mansfield, she danced "La Dans
De Luxe." "On the Hoko Moko Isle"
was an Oriental number by Anita Oak
ley and chorus.
One of the funniest bits of the whole
performance is the appearance of a
duplicate "Ikey," his son "Jakie," Jack
Wise.
STATUE TO BE EXHIBITED
Illgli SoliooJ Jefferson Monument
Will lie at Art Mnsenm.
The statue of Jefferson, whicn is to
be erected on the steps of Jefferson
High School, is to be exhibited the lat
ter part of this week at the Art Museum
on Fifth street. Arrangements have
been made for the public display for
several days while-arrangements are
being made for the erection of the
monument at the high school.
The monument, which is a duplicate
of one given some time ago to the
University of Virginia, shows Jeffer
son in a sitting position. Plans are
being made for an elaborate ceremony
at the unveiling at the high school.

Therefore, the big
college fete, not in the name of sweet
charity as so many brilliant social af
fairs are. but in the name of something
equally worthy.
The prospectus of the fete reads like
a description of a tour through some
social fairyland. There will be dan
cing, modem and antique; bower-like
booths from which co-eds in cap and
gown or conventional attire will cell
programmes, ices, flowers, punch, cof
fee and sandwiches and other dainties;
orchestral music and corners for in
tellectual gossip.
The college girls are to be the host
esses Individually and collectively, and
the entire pro
gramme for the
evening will be in
their hands. On this
occasion the men
will be relegated to
their ornamental
niche, except for
the good they, can
do In dancing and

booths and aiding

ize. It is proposed to close all shops at
7 P. M., instead of 3 P. M. as at present.
Jiere is the reason. Formerly many
men carried on friendly chats with
friends in saloons until the last minute
and th'en made a dash for the barber
shop before the doors closed. This
necessitated barbers keeping open
sometimes until long after 8 o'clock.
With no saloons, it has been found that
these eleventh-hour patrons are ap
pearing lni the late afternoou. or earlv
evening, and the last-minute dashers
are getting fewer all the time. So the
barbers' figure they, can shave an hour
off their working day.
TOURIST NEEDS TOLD
D. B. SMITH 4DDRESSE WESTMIN
STER CURRENT EVENTS CLUB.
Church May Take Up Suggestion te
Send Antoa to Motels on Sunday
and Invite Visitors to Worship'.
"How to Increase the Tourist Travel
for Portland" was .the toDic discussed
yesterday before the Men's Current
Events Club of Westminster Presby
terian Church by Dorsey B. Smith, tour
ist bureau agent in Portland. :
Sir. Smith recently made a. trip In
the Last and found that the tourist
bureaus were not informed of the at
tractions of Portland, which he cor
rected largely by pointing out the Co
lumbia River Highway and other points
of Interest. Air. Smith said that it had
been the usual programme of the tour
ist coming to Portland to come at 7
and leave at 10 A. II., or, at best, to stay
one day only, coming In the morning
and leaving at night.
Sir. Smith detailed some of- the plans
ror the entertainment of tourists, which
include automobile trips 011 the Colum
bia Highway. He urged that Portland
should greet the stranger with a most
cordial welcome, and suggested that
the churches could do nothing so fine
as to appoint committees to invite tour
ists, who make Sunday their rest day,
to their churches by sending automo
biles to the hotels and taking them to
the churches of their choice.
It is probable that Westminster
Church will lake up the suggestion
that a committee be appointed to in
vite tourists to attend that church.
Several present offered automobiles for
the use of this committee.

to endeavor to work out a compromise

LARK SilS 32 SOMGS
WESTERN MEADOW BIRDS
WIDE REPERTOIRE.
HAVE
Aurtabon Society Discusses New 8onK
sters Which Have Come In Flocks
to Oregon This Spring.
That thr Western meadow lark
sings 32 songs while tne Eastern spe
cies can warble but one, was an inter
esting announcement at the meeting
of the Audubon Society Saturday
night at the Y. SI. C. A. To a German
musician, now living in Salem, is giv
en credit for the discovery of the West
ern meadow lark's wide repertoire. He
learned the songs of the birds in his
own country and was surprised on
coming to Oregon to hear the many
songs sung by the meadow larks that
abound in the state. He then took up
the study of the Eastern birds and made
the comparison and discovery.
Sirs. Slamie Campbell gave a talk
on "Birds That Have come to
Portland." A chart study of the
birds and colored photographs were of
nterest. A humming bird s nest found
in Milwaukie was shown and studied.
Among the birds that have come this
Spring are, according to Sirs. Camp
bell: Western robins, varied thrush.
Rufous humming bird. Audubon warb
ler, rusty song eparrow, white-crowned
sparrow. California purple finch.
chirping sparrow, kinglets, blue birds,
towhee, meadow lark, flicker, chicka
dee, juncoes, tree. swallows, violet-
green swallow, red-winged black bird
and the yellow warbler.
"The reason that the humming bird
is here may be due to the wild-currant
blossoms, of which he is very fond.
He comes as soon as the currants be
gin to bloom. He is also fond of red
bright flowers that bloom in the Sum
mer," said Mrs. uampneu. unis morn
ing the bird fancier counted 19 spe
cies of birds in her garden near Mil-
waukie station.
Bird experts who attended the meet
ing agreed with Sirs. Campbell that in
Portland the meadow larks were most
abundant at the end of the Beaumont
car-line, where It is said they are
found in flocks.
