DANCES JEW AND RARE
STIWiD BILL. DELIGHTS CROWD
OF VAUDEVILLE FASS.
Phone your want ads to The Orego
gonlan. Main 7070. A 6095.
Many Pretty Coitnnei Are Shown and
Enjoyable Slnglog Accompanies
Bright Patter of Various Acts.
If there's any new wrinkle in danc
ing that wasn't thoroughly shaken out
for the delight of the vaudeville fans
at the Strand Theater when the new
bill opened yesterday, it must be a
mighty new and a mighty rare one.
The dancing acts are balanced with a
bright flash of singing and patter and
there are pretty costumes "till you
can't count 'em."
Dancing Collins, that red-headed
maniac of vaudeville who Is always
bobbing up with something new in
grotesque novelty steps, puts forward
two new dances that keep the audi
ences all agiggle from start to finish.
He faas. in Miss Lee, a partner fully as
clever and light-footed as he and her
solo dances made a hit at each per
formance, while their .duet dancing
simply carried the audiences by storm.
The Two Duffys are another couple,
a man and & girl, who have the knack
for clever grotesque and novelty and
their burlesque descriptive rendition of
Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," in
dance, was excruciatingly funny. They
present some bright whistling and Imi
tation stunts also.
Ford and the Cunningham sisters
have a rapid-fire line of patter and
singing and a bit of Imitation that
"goes big."
Anna Childs. a dainty singer with a
voice as sweet as a silver bell, offers
a sentimental repertory that is truly
winsome.
Franklyn Farnum and Brownie
Vernon are featured in the photoplay
half of the bill in "A Stormy Knight."
a dramatic-comedy by the Bluebird
concern, that is full of the typical
Farnum breeziness and has some daz
zling photographic effects worth going
far to see.
