We it 111 make a special campaign against tnem this week. "It is my opinion that the epidemic has reached its second crest, and that with watchfulness and caution on the part of the public It will wane rapidly. I tall upon all good citizens to pay heed to the published rules for the preven tion of the disease. The rules referred to by Dr. Parrish. and which have been m-idely circulated by the City Bureau of Health, are as follows: Ke;p your bowels open: take a bath every day: get lots of fresh air; eat plain, nourishing food: keep yonr feet warm and dry: remove wet clothing as son as possible: avoid chilling of the body or living in rooms of a tempera ture below 6i degrees or above 72 de grees: gargle frequently with a mild antiseptic solution: avoid persons suf fering from colds, sore throats and rougns: cover your nose with your handkerchief when you sneeze, your mouth when you cough: change hand kerchiefs freqiently: promptly disin fect soiled handkerchiefs by boiling or washing witii soap end water: if sick. uo matter how slightly, see a physician. Health officials are agreed on the im portance of public co-operation in checking the disease. The most trifling cold should be closely watched, they think, and should receive medical treat ment. For such a cold, while appar ently of slight moment to the host, may be a type of influenza, which, if trans mitted to another, will spread the dis ease in Its most virulent form. Statistics of the epidemic are not compiled on Sundays, owing to the lack of reports, but Pr. Parrlsh's trips about the city yesterday led him to believe mat conditions in general are slowly Improving- NEW BILLS OPEN AT PORTLAND THEATERS WINS MEET TUESDAY 5 00 DELEGATES FROM STATE LODGES EXPECTED.

RPHEL'M fans of yesterday were either fickle or Impartial, for at the opening matinee of thla week's new bill applause in enthuslactic and cdpl oua quantities was meted out each to eaca in turn from headllners Grace La Rue and Lawrence Grant in "Et- ficlency." and the opening tumbling numbers, to the f.nal freak skit and dance. It was all good and all funny. Miss Larue, termed on the pro gramme as "The International Star of Song." and whose name Is known to all followers of musical comedy as one to be featured, made a sensational ap pearance yesterday despite her unpre tentious bearing. Appearing between draperies of C-ll taupe velvet, she made a vivid entre, gown of dull rose -id contrasted beading and draped Georg ette, tall ar.d slender with golden hair, and moat striking of all, quiet but ef fervescent of personality. A series of compositions, most notable of which was "The Salutation to the Dawn." and concluding with the "Missouri Walts," were sung by Miss La Rue in the first half of her number. But In the last part of her pro gramme Miss LaRue, In smart and wonderous coatee or jet, skirt of mar velous peacock embroidered silk ar.d picture hat cf rose, was in her ele ment. She introduced a' son? new to the Northwest. "Where Is the Boy for Me?" Swinging steps, embodiment of grace and the spirit of the song, but with a touch of Charlotte Greenfield style. Miss LaRue repeated the chorus and made the song permanent in the hearts of Portland. "Efficiency," its wonders, its limi tations and its results, were power fully portrayed '. a short skit by that name, of which Lawrence Grant as Impersonator of William Hohenzollern. starred. The motif of the playlet, which was first proc-iced at the Green wich Village Theater, centers around a wounded soldier who, by meana of steel hands, brass arms and telescopic eyes that see !n the dark is the result of a German scientific experiment, by which the German troops were to have been reinforced. But, unfortunately the steel knees could not bend to the Kaiser though they were capable of killing even the "aiser for the sake of humanity. No, 14. as the soldier is known, is admirably played by Karl McLellan. Page, Had: and Mack, two men and a woman, show v.nderful control of muscles in a tumbling and equilibrium opening act of which, every feature is new to the vaudeville world. A pretty girl goes a long way In vaudeville, and so does Zella Ingraham, who, with her partner, George Fox, sings the hits composed by her brother, the late Her bert Ingraham. The DeWolf girls In "Clothes, Clothes. Clothes," a combination dance, song and fashion act, have the goods, both in skill and clothes, to put over what every girl in the audience already knew the importance of clothes, clothes, clothes. Quite unique in freak dances Is the skeleton celebration of "The Mysterious Masquerader," played by "???" in the number which closes the new bill. Not only is the skeleton Idea cleverly carried out, so that it Is evident the originator was not a dead one, but the acrobatic feats of the ghastly performer are hilariously successful. Good support is given by Marlon Shlrly, who plays opposite as Mrs. J. Parker, beloved and innocent wife. I P. S: An extra Orpheum show will be given Wednesday evening. DANCE CROWDS LIMITED Vancouver Recognises Recurrence of Influenzae Epidemic. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec. . CSpe- eiaL) The Spanish influenza epidemic Is yet here and strict measures will be used in dispersing crowds In theaters, lobbies and other places. The restric tion of public dances was urged as a means to prevent the spread of the dis ease at a meeting of doctors in the Division Surgeon's office in Vancouver Barracks. Only those who can be seat ed will be admitted to public gather in rs. The greatest number of new cases was last Monday, when SS were report ed: there were 43 on Tuesday, and 17 on Wednesday, and since the records have not been completed. The number of new rases at the post has dropped about 50 per cent sud denly. There are two families quaran tined with dipththeria In this city. Credit Men Meet Wednesday.

The squadron Is mapping a proposed aerial mail route. i Hippodrome. SEVERAL diversified acts, comedy, opera and strength testa, vie for first place on the bill which opened at the Hippodrome yesterday. One of the finest acts seen In many a week is May Belle, lyric soprano, and the two pretty girls with her. a pianist and a violin ist. May Belle sings a number of beau tiful operatic arias and then graciously descends Into the limbo of popular stuff, such as "Lorraine" and others. The little violinist and her partner give her artistic support. "Swamporlum" Is the title of the comedy hit of the bill which is pre sented by two clever girls, Marlon and Willard. Miss Marion, "Vampin' cham pion," Is klllingly funny in her Imita tion of Theda Bara. done In grotesque costume and with elaborate gymnastics. A dialogue and a series of 'omedy songs bring down the house. Murry K. Hill, veteran entertainer, returns with a full line of new comedy which made a big hit. He has a series of doughboy stories and gives an original poem written around an inci dent In the life of Sheridan during the Civil War. He wears clerical garb and has a series of facial expressions which are not the least funny part of his performance. The Kafko Trio, two iron-Jawed women and a man who does feats on the slack wire, give some remarkable exhibitions of their art. Marie Straube and two other pretty girls wear beautiful gowns, sing the latest songs and give several pretty dances. "The Mau of Bronx." feature film, with Marguerite Clayton and Lewis Stone, tells the part a statue plays in beautiful Western romance. Baker. BT LEONE CASS BAER. THE story of a woman scorned is told in "Blind Youth," but It Isn't the scorned woman or the process of her scorning that we- are concerned with in this play by Lou Tellegen and Willard Mack. Rather is It the neat method in which the man most con cerned turned the scorning tables on the vengeful lady and circumvented her plans. . The story is one in which Mr. Telle gen's Idealism and Mr. Mack's realism have been deftly woven and blended Into a fine and interesting play in which the Tellegen role naturally is the pivotal one. The others are more or less subordinated to v the big, heroic figure of Maurice Monnier. half Ameri can, hair trench, wno comes 10 live in America, the home of his mother, after he has gone down to the gutters of his beloved Paris. It was the perfidy of a woman which sent Maurice to the gutters, but It was his own fine Inner self and the awakening words of a miserable misanthrope, himself gutter directed, that brought Maurice from the depths. In the meantime the woman, married to her elderly millionaire, had returned to put Maurice on the way to recog nition as thj painter he had elected to be. He scorns her advances, pre ferring to come to America and start anew. His mother has remarried and another son has absorbed her affec tions. All this we learn in th first act. The second and third bring us, year later, to Maurice's studio in New Tork, where he is successful and happy, although not beloved by his mother and bis half-brother. His betrothal to his model has Just been announced when the bomb of the other woman of two years before in Paris is exploded. She has come to New Tork, maneuvered a meeting with the shallow, spoiled half brother, Harry, and is to marry him soon. The thrilling part of the story is all in the last act when the keen alert Maurice outwits the woman equally clever and self-sufficient. To relate the procedure of the outwittal would spoil an excellent surprise and de lightfully thrilling episode for patrons yet to see the play. Essentially the play is a drama, but it has sufficient comedy lights all through it to give it the values of a comedy- drama. Albert McGovern has Mr. Tel legen's role, and the handsome matinee idol Greek-god Tellegen did not, I'll wager, play it one whit better than .the handsome Baker, matinee-idol, Ameri can actor, Albert McGovern plays it. A triumvirate of comedians assem ble in the artistry of McGovern, as Maurice, John G. Fee as a debonair Parisian, and Lee Miller as an American art student longing for his own country. The transplanting of the Parisian to America is delightfully characterized by Mr. Fee. An important role Is that of Harry, the half brother, which is given a vigorous and distinctive, treat ment by the new Juvenile actor, Irv ing Kennedy. George Webster has an impressive manner as the old artist. Olive Templeton is admirable and satis fying as Maurice's bethrothed. The role is not at big one. The other woman is played exquisitely by Verna Felton. Geraldine Dare, too. Is picturesque as a little girl of the streets of Paris. Lora Rogers makes a tremendous jump from her humorous and memorable in ebriated hag of last week to a very grand personage, the mother of Maurice in this new play. Walter Corry buttles as a butler. The play is nicely put on and scenl cally interesting. It will continue all week with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. The cast: Louis Delmaa .John G.

IN THE midst of an artistically set stage, the members of the Lyric company this week are presenting "Is Honolulu," a rollicking musical com. edy, telling of the mishaps of Mike and Ike, while on a Jaunt to the Hawaiian Islands. Into every scene of the production Is woven much of the romance and beauty of the islands, while Hawaiian melo dies are the features of the musical comedy.' During the voyage to the Islands, Mike and Ike become quite seasick, but that is soon forgotten when they ar rive there, and meet all of the beauti ful girls. There is a sanitarium at a mineral springs on the islands, which is visited by two young women, whq are heiresses, but would also like to be widows. Tne doctor who runs the sanitarium says he can help them out, so when Mike and Ike arrive, feeling too seasick to care much about any thing, they are tricked into marrying the girls. Mike and Ike decide not to die, which is not included on the ' programme planned by the girls, so there is where the complications begin. There are several principals con cerned in the unraveling of the plot, which looks quite complicated for a while. The girls of the Rosebud chorus wear smart-looking frocks with plenty of variety, and they dance and sing with a vim. The members of the cast por tray their parts well, and altogether.

PLENTY of pep and comedy, with a splendid photoplay are included in the new programme at the Strand Theater. Mar eel !e and Manette are two pretty girls with lovely, flutey voices, who sings their way into favor.The stage setting which they use for their act is artistic and lends a distinctly dif ferent atmosphere to their number. Harris and Harris are colored folk, who put plenty of pep and ginger into a novelty act in which they sang. danced and played the banjo and gui tar. They were, recalled a number of times, and for a while it looked as if they would stop the show. Private Bowman is a clever chap who is a whiz of a skater.
