ALL SEE REHEARSAL Orpheum Actors, Delayed by Wreck, Put on Novel Bill. ALL . SKITS SHOWN TWICE Manager McGettlgan Saves Day by Letting Audience See Orchestra and Players In Street Cos tumes Practice. BY LEONE CASS BAER. Once a rubber dolly with a perfectly fascinating squeak In Its tummy was given to a little girl. For days and dayB she adored her lovely rubber dol ly, and marveled at the eource of the delicious squeak. Then one fine rash I day she whackled open Miss Dolly's tummy to see from whence proceeded the squeak. Manager Frant McGettlgan, of the Orpheum Theater performed a similar feat yesterday when he slashed right into the machinery of vaudeville and let the matinee audience see for It self where the "squeak" cornea from. Now Is a student of psychology were telling this tale he'd have the little girl dreadfully sorry that she found out from where the squeak came. Wreck Came of Riki. All this apparently occurred to Mr. McGettlgan yesterday, but he didn't have time to eolve any problems aDout destroying the Illusions of audiences. He didn't have time for much of any thing save to grab the first two acts of the new bill off the eight-hour de layed train (name of road deleted by censors) and rush 'em up to the the ater. Then while these two acts, by turn, went on and rehearsed, the others were chasing up from the station like mad. Each act that needed orcheetra accompaniment went right on. street clothes, soil of travel, with only a hurried cup of coffee and a sandwich in its stomach, and rehearsed just as If the audience were 40 miles away. You know, these acts are supposed to get into Portland in the morning, and each performer has a ten-minute heart-to-heart discussion with the or chestra. All Exipt Headline Rehearse. By turns every act excepting the headline number, Claude Gillingwater, in a sketch "The Frame Up," which needed no music, came out just as they'd rushed In from the train for rehearsal. The camaraderie and friendliness es tablished between the audience and the busy rehearsing performers, was a feel ing akin to having supper out In the kitchen with the family. We felt perfectly at home, so did the performer, and as the rural paper has it. "a good time was had by all. Naturally, the show lasted longer, but no one cared. Sunday is a day of cold suppers, so even the wives didn't have to rush away. First, the rehearsal was staged, and then the real show was put on.. Mere dlth came, out in a plush overcoat and a smile and rehearsed without Snoozer, the smartest dog in the world, and an hour later Meredith came back, dressed up grand In a buff suit, with Snoozer, who plays dead, talks and displays more sense than lots of people. The Campbell sisters came out and rehearsed, talking affably with' the or chestra conductor, and smiling little friendly smiles at the eager. Interested audience. The Campbell girls wore smart little traveling togs, and were all covered up. When they came out later and put on their brilliant song and-piano duet they wore gorgeous party frocks, and were not all covered up in lots of places. They're tremendously,, clever, this pair of Southern girls, and their offer ing is artistic and pervaded with per sonality. Harry Seymour and Anna Seymour came out separately In street togs and rehearsed and then appeared dressed just as If they were going to the nicest party in town. Anna is a mint of fun. She does devilish rough-house comedy and worsts her partner In bat tles verbal and nstlc. Patrick Barret came on and re hearsed dance steps and some 'i-de-da tunes of his own manufacture and the audience roared as much at the fun he put into his rehearsal as they did later when he came out, fixed up like a plush mule and did 'em all over again. He's certainly clever, that Pat. Thomas Swift rehearsed for his en tire company consisting of two pretty girle. Tom is clever, too and good natured. With the before-mentioned girls he presents Me and Mary," a tuneful Incident with a heart interest " - touch to It, and set to lots of sweet melody. Frank Wilson and the orchestra had a cheery confab about the incidental music for the cycling act he presents. "Wilson is a genius on the bike. The headline 'act, featuring Mr. Gil- I lingwater, needed no rehearsal. It Is a uiliiiauL AikLic )JR, Dkai uui i t a drama, and winding up in a whirl of comedy, and provides food for deep meditation at times. It is called "The Frame-Up, " and tells of how a neg lectful husband was quite cured. Julie Herne, daughter of the distinguished house of Herne,- admirably supports Mr. Glllingwater. He is an excellent artist, a delineator of rare types, and in this role, aa the husband, gives flawless bit of acting. The cast Is large one. and Mr. Glllingwater, who directs his own plays, has done espe dally brilliant work In staging this one. P. S. The rehearsal will not be staged at any following performances, orry to say.

"For those vessels leaving on Feb ruary 22 only relative safety could be o-iitii-nntvnri hut vessels leaving on March 17 would have an absolute guarantee against submarine attacks, as it would be impossible by February 22 to inform with certainty all sub marine commanders of the concessions made to Holland." BERLIX "EXPLAINS" SINKINGS Satllnir February 22 Said to Have Been on "Relative Guarantee." BERLIN. Feb. 24. (By wireless to Sayville. N. Y.) An official statement regarding the sinking of the Dutch steamers by a German submarine Is e-iven out through the Overseas News "According to telegrams received from Holland on February 22 at 5 nVinck In the afternoon, several Dutch ships were destroyed, which, with the nsreement of Germany, wanted to leave the barred zone in a westward direc tion from Falmouth and Dartmouth. "In answer to this, it is stated in authoritative quarters that after the declaration of the barred zone. Dutch shipowners asked the British authori ties to permit 33 steamers lying at Falmouth and Dartmouth, of which 20 were loaded with grain for the Dutcn government, to proceed out of the barred zone, which were still there after the expiration of the time fixed (hv Oermanv). February 5. "The German authorities agreed to this, "making an exception, in order to let the 20 cargoes of grain reach the Dutch government, but the condition was added that the ships ought not to sail later than midnight February lu-ii "In this way the ships would have been able to leave in all safety the ' barred zone within the extended time, which was known to all submarines, and before the termination of the period. February 12-13. "The Dutch shipowners accepted this offer, but were unable to get their ships out of the English ports within the allotted time. They renewed their reauest for permission to sail later and were informed that the vessels could leave Dartmouth and Falmouth either in full safety on March 17 or. with only relative safety, on February 22 bv an indicated rottte. "Eighteen of the ships decided to sail on February 22. traveling together. Word reached Berlin on February 16 of this intention and thereupon the shipowners were expressly informed that unconditional safety could not be granted for February 22. as there was no certainty that all the submarines engaged in the waters to be traversed would receive the wireless order. At the same time it was insisted that out side the indicated course no guarantee whatever would be given with respect to the danger of mines. "Apparently, eight ships finally took upon themselves the, risk of the trip. If the Dutch news is correct that thesn eight ships were destroyed one is said to have struck a mine near the English coast while the other seven on the afternoon of February 22 were de stroyed on the course indicated it is to be deeply regretted but the responsi bility falls upon the shipowners.

GERMANS RETIRE IN WEST (Continued From First Pa ire. 1 past three or four days, firing more rounds than any German guns in re cent months. The reason for this is considered as probably a desire to shoot up stores of ammunition which there was not time to remove. The foggy, misty weather was ideal for the beginning of the German re tirement, as it completely hid the pur pose of the movement from the pry ing eyes of the airplanes which other wise would have daily searched out the German positions.
