BUBBLES OPEN BILL Orpheum Show Is Like Great Big Christmas Tree. TOBIN GIRLS ARE WINNERS Headliner Is Artistic Playlet, De lightfully Satiric on Modern Lire "Miniature Revue" Is Mechanical Marvel. Like a great, big Christmas tree all shining with bright lights and spar kling tinsel, with rich gifts for every one, is the holiday bill at the Orpheum this week. Every number is a veritable "Merry Christmas" and the memories of its Jokes, its melodies and Jollity will be treasured to assure a "Happy New Year." Heading the list is the artistic play let, the delightful satire on modern life, marriage and divorce, entitled "The Age of Reason." featuring the gifted young girls, Vivian and Genevieve Tobin. Their act tells of the latest and highly approved manner of settling matrimon ial dirnculties and doing away with "incompatibility." The girls came her alded as winners and they made good the prophecies of their press agents. The act is staged elaborately in fetch ing futurist setting. The naive philos ophy of the lines uttered by the two children makes many laughs, and com bines wit and wisdom most effectively. Tivo singers Make Hit. Two gleeful singers, Harry Mayo and Harry Tally, captured the audiences yesterday with their songs and good- natured joshing. Their Hawaiian num ber and "Keep on A-Dancing" were among the favorites. Bright and breezy, with lots of gin ger were Pat Rooney and Marion Bent, whose little sketch, "At the News stand," was the vehicle on which they carried to the stage their talents as singers and dancers. Pat is as nimble as ever, and did some steps that brought joy to his admirers and old time friends. Marion is pretty and full of personality. She, too, dances well. Stan Stanley and his "relatives" got storms of applause for the frivolity and nonsense in the act entitled "The Bouncing Fellow." It surely is a whirl wind of fun, right in keeping with the merry strain that runs through the entire show. Mechanical Marvel Shown. A marvel of mechanical invention and an acnlevement in the entertainment ine is the "Miniature Revue" in which are manipulated little rigures repre senting Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, ONE OK COMMITTEE IN" CHARGE HOLIDAY DANCE.

Cecil Parkes, a gifted boy violinist, and William Conway, a brilliant pianist, afford pleasure with' their rendition of several artistic selections. Both are unusually clever. Think of making a living blowing bubbles! OHle Young and April do it and get away with it, too, and the theater-goers who saw them yesterday re joiced and were thoroughly apprecia tive when the bubbles floated around. Ollie and April set a pace for all others on the bill. They were the openers, and as they made their bows they said "And now, kind friends, our act is through," and then in ryhme gave a Christmas greeting. Each one who fol lowed tried to do them one better, so there were many Christmas wishes for good cheer. Pictures and music complete the pro gramme that will continue today and tomorrow. YOUTHS OF 45 10 MEET MEETING CALLED TO FECT ORGANIZATION. Fred Spoeri, Nelson G. Pike and Other Eligible Show They Have "Pep" In Plenty. "Sure we're still on the map." said Fred Spoeri, one of the chief charter members of the Young Men's Club, which has been organized to prove that men past 45 are still on the vigorous and enthusiastic side of the meridian. Just to show that the club is still on the job, the charter members are going to meet at the Library Thursday nighl to perfect their organization which was made in a preliminary form shortly after the news from Chicago that the men past 45 there had organized to manifest their efficiency as compared with that of younger men. Anybody past 4o who is still young at heart, still fond of play and of going nsning. and still tun of enthusiasm and "pep" is eligible to membership. Fred Spoeri, Nelson G. Pike and half dozen of the other members of the Young Men's Club were at the Rotary Christmas party at the Benson last night, disporting themselves more like 16 than 45. Among others of Portland's young old men" are: Pat Bacon, A. H. Work man, Dr. George Parrish, H. W. Mc Lean. Will Knight, S. B. Cooke, A. C. Holmes and C. F. Berg. "Sure we're still on the map as a club," was their response to an In quiry and request for a brief interview as to the growth and aims of the club. And just to prove it they decided to have another meeting Thursday, for they had been so busy enjoying the holidays that they almost forgot that they had a Young Men's Club. JAIL CHRISTMAS IS SAD PRISONERS ARE DEPRESSED. AND GLOOMY. IN- TRO SPECTIVE Clty Cells Hold Lone Colored Woman and 30 Men County Lockup 61 Mea and Six Women. Echoes from a misspent life are de pressing at Christmas, however kindly Jailers may try to alleviate the melan choly of their charges. A young colored woman was the only female prisoner in the City Jail early last night. Her husband begged Judge Langguth to release her last Saturday, but was refused. Three others finished serving their sentences yesterday and several were released on bail. Thirty men prisoners were held In the City Jail. Some lay unconscious in the "drunk cell" and knew nothing of the holiday spirit abroad. Trusties paced the corridors restlessly or sat disconsolately in corners. One young man he was scarcely more than a boy stood eating peanuts with an attempt at nonchalance, star ing retrospectively at the bare walls meanwhile. Occasionally he wiped his eye furtively on the sleeve of the faded Jean jumper that formed part of his prison uniform, and he swallowed with a diligence scarcely required bv the amount of peanuts he was eating. An old man, gray and bearded, sat on a step nearby at the foot of the stairs leading to the trusties' quarters. He, too, was silent. In the County Jail there were 61 men and six women prisoners. The menu for the prisoners in the County Jail will consist of turkey with dress ing; wild crabapple sauce, mashed po tatoes, celery, fruit cake, custard pie, nuts and oranges. Wooden Leg Damaged.

CAST OF "THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE." June Tolliver, a wild flower Ruth Gates Judd Tolliver, her father ' George R. Taylor Dave Tolliver. his nephew. .Will Lloyd Loretty Tolliver, his sister - Florence Darling Gal Hraton, of Lonesome Cove Harold Holland Uncle Billy Bean, Justice of the Peace Qeorge P. Webster Ole Hon. his wife Lora. Ilogars John Hale, a young engineer Albert McGovern Bob Berkeley, his assistant Charles Compton The duty taught by love is the only one which "June" knows, and it is such a love, untrammeled and unconvention al as her own hills, that she teaches Jonh Hale, the young engineer, in the dramatization of John Fox. Jr.'s "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," which opened at the Baker Theater at yester day afternoon's matinee. The play, dramatized by Eugene Walter and put on by the Alcazar play ers, is like a breatl-. from those same pine-scented hills. It possesses all the beauty, all the pathos, all the con tagious humor and happiness which is found in its naturalness in the great out-of-doors. The opening scene, like some good genie, whisks one from the mundane things of city life out where life is free, where the trees whisper to one another, and where a brook, which "jest na'cherally" looks as though it had trout in it, tinkles along over the stones. And there was the "lonesome" pine, the trystlng tree, which heard numerous secrets and knew how to keep them, too. Ru.h Gates and Albert McGovern take the leading roles of June Tolliver and John Hale. Miss Gates handles the -iifficult role of June, tne untutored mountain girl discovered by John Hale and by him sent away to school with a natural ness and sweetness which grips. Dave Tolliver, cousin of June, playd by Will Lloyd, is a -ival for the affec tions of the heroine, and his desire for "shooting up" anyone who opposes him results in a number of tense situations. The atmosphere of feud in those South ern mountains, where the scene is laid, adds complexity to the intense situa tions and forms a background for the love story. There is also a touch of "high finance," in which in hero goes "broke," only to discover that he is the richest man in the world because he possesses the affections of the heroine. In the closing scene Jack and June are reunited under the "lonesome" pine, and she blow-B her horn for "Uncle Billy," Justice of the Peace. You can guess the rest. Bob Berkeley, friend of Hale, as played by Charles Compton. Is a char acter whose contagious humor and optimism are simply irresistible. His remarks are some of the high lights of the '".ama. The eccentric "Uncle Bl.' .-," Justice of the Peace, is well handled by George P. Webster, and Judd Tolliver, as played by George R. Taylor, is an out standing character. There will be a special matinee to day and Tuesday will be "bargain" night instead of tonight. , TEACHERS TO CONVENE SI MMER SCHOOL WORKERS TO DIS CUSS PLANS FOR SEASON.
