Turoduy cventiifr he will be Jieard In a lecture. "My Five Years In the Arctic." illustrated with slides, in the Municipal Auditorium.

On account of the failure of telcKraniM to reach Mr. Mefanason regarding plans for the luncheon by the Professional Women's J-easrue and the bis dinner at the Uni versity club, these two functions had to be abandoned and the small dinner autketitutrd. Miss Harriet Wood, "in charge of the education department of Central li brary, was in Seattle last fall when Mr. Stefansson was there and beard him peak at a dinner Riven in his honor by the chamber of commerce and again at a luncheon the following day given by tho Women's University .lub.

If neve again, the various sisterhoods and brotherhoods of acutely high-browed worshippers of art In Its true form will meet on a level at the Orpheum with the constantly increasing group of folk whose brows are of mezzanine floor height, and to which group cheerfully confess membership. Wheth er us of the lower brow will pull the others down to our level or we will be hoisted momentarily to their heights Is matter of the Individual and has no place in this accounting. The fact remains that Theodor Kosloffs Russian ballet, the ultra-es ultra, artistic act known to all vaude viliedom. Is the topline act on th new bill, and that Ed Flanagan an Neely Edwards and a chap out of an other act. Bill Be Marest, absolutely and undeniably walked away with the show. It's a nice case of aJck Spratt and his wife, that bill. If you don t care for lean, you can eat fat. There's plenty of both, and between the devotees of the effete and esthetic and artistic and the adherent: of good, wholesome fun, genuine humo and downright genius in comedy art the plate sure was licked clean. Messrs. Ed Flanagan and Neelv Edwards are discovered in bed in third-rate room bearing all the ear marks of a morning after a strenuous evening. They are so highly natural in their early morning grouches and mutual beratings and pleasantries that the audience is reduced to hysterics long before the two hoys decide to re hearse an act. This in itself was a riot. For the seven thousand encores de manded by the enthusiastic fun fans the two returned to mess around on ukelele and a mouth organ. They are one of the best bets in vaudeville, these two, and every word or look tells a storr. Following them arrived Bill who is William De Marest. a big personality chap, who Is such a good friend to Ed wards and Flanagan that the two latter horned in all along in De Marest's turn id this is what set the audience into bowling mob. laughing until tears flowed frankly. Pe Marest has an ador able little maid for a partner. Estelle C'ollette. who plays a violin in exquisite mood and method, but she vanished soon after her big partner. Kill, and the Flanagan edward's combine de cided to put on an ail star act. Bill Is a celllft. it may be said in passing, but he takes his 'cello seri ously only by spurts and spells. The rest of the time he Is endeavoring earnestly to do some sort of an acro batic flap which leaves him prostrate ou the floor, while the audience yells n glee. Then he and Flanagan and Edwards put on an Impromptu act which Is inexpressively clever and marked by smartest dialogue, keen sense humor and a fresh spontanlety of fun that brought over 20 encores yes terday. Follows next the Kesloff act. a color ful pageant of artistic dances and es pecially lovely music. There is a leg end of love and death told in interpre tation dance, a story of Tartary and its slaves and royalty, all of it barbaric in theme and color and dance values. Theodore Kosloff. who Is a mervelous athletic and graceful figure of small stature presents a series of splendid physical revelations- in dance move ments. An exquisitely dainty mele. Fredowa offers a "Snowbird' solo reminiscent of Pavlowa's "Death of the Swan." and Maria Oambarelli is seen in a mad swirl of body in an Esquimaux specialty. Paul Nolan and May Nolan have one of the cleverest turns In. vaudeville. l"aul juggles everything. He sets a sau cer on his foot and sends it spinning to the top of his head. He puts a cup on his foot and sends it spinning into the naueer on his head, followed by a lump of sugar, and a spoon sent by the same method. He hag a fine Idea or comedy and all of his act is extremely novel and keen. Slay is plump and assists, but Paul is an individual riot. George Rockwell and Al Fox are an other keen pair billed as "noble nuts navigating the ocean of nonsense." all of which they are and do. Their fun is fresh and timely and holds constant in freest, especially their travesty on us girls. Virginia Lewis and Mary White, labeled as "Just two girls trying to get along." get along immensely with their excellent singing and clever re partee exchange. Closing the bill are Kate and Wiley, exponents of physical grace, strength and dexterity and highly entertaining. The bill is the best in ages. Alcazar. TENDER In theme, brilliant in setting, and appealing in its deep emotional calls," Is "AOdame X," which opened yesterday at the Alcazar theater. A cast of 30 persons is necessary for the production of this drama. Its pro logue and three acts afford glimpses into tne homes of the rich, poor and degraded, and carry a refreshing out door scene and the solemn and awesome dignity of the French court. .Delightful humor scattered through out the play relieves' the dramatic tension, particularly during the last scene. Mother love is the- theme. The play revolves about Madame X who sins, craves forgiveness, and though sinking to the dregs of life is saved by her love for the son whom she volun tarily left and was later denied. Madame X is played by Alice Flem ing. With the exception of Miss Flem ng's role and one other, there is humor in the part of every character. Miss Fleming, from her first entrance, to the fall of the curtain, is under emotional stress. Edward Everett Horton, who tin- known to himself or his mother, brings final happiness to the sufferers of 20 years, interprets with great sympatHy the part of the young barrister trying his first case. His youth contrasts happily and vividly with the intensity of the scenes. Playing opposite him, as his fiance, Ann Winston gives able support, i James Guy-usher has a role of sus tained dramatic tenseness. His work is much admired. Jt seems to be the fate of Vaugh Morgan to be the character destined to sudden death in many of the roles lie has played recently. His role in "Ma dame X" does not call for a great amount of sympathy, but some way or other Mr. Morgan always manages to get it whether he dies as the villian or hero. The cast is as follows: Rose Hiss Jessie linns Dr. Cheanel Loring Kelly Iuis Kloriot James Guy-Usher Jacqueline Miss Alice Hemlng Noel ... Rodney Hlldebntnd Iiroque Vaushan Morgan Victor Alvln A.

Mike and Ike were stowaways on the ship, and when they came out from their hiding place they announced themselves to all on board as being multimillionaires. Complications began coming in bunches as soon as the first statement was made, but just before the final curtain everything ended happily. Eleven musical numbers interspersed the show and "Johnny's in Town." fea turing petite Billy Bingham and assist ed by the 15 members of the Rosebud chorus, made a decided hit. Ben Brod erick rendered "Napoli" in a creditable manner and before Madeline Mathews was allowed to permit the show to con tinue Bhe had to answer several en cores with her "I Love Her." "The Tale the Church Bell Told" was sung by Jewell La Velle and chorus, while Dorothy Raymond, as Mrs. Glit ters, and Clarence Wurdig as Capt. Pen brook, master of the ship, were at their best in "Tears." The Lyric Trio came in for a share of the applause. Among the numbers featured br the entire chorus were "Take Me Back to New York Town," "To, Ho, Little Girl Nancy tee, Lee."

The report says: The flush Droductlon of the no longer new Montebello and Casmalia fields masked this condition tempo m ri 1 v. However, the history of oil fields development, even if present pro duction data of the Montebello and Cas malia fields were not available, should warn operators against continuing too heavily upon Initial productive con HitinnR. -Rapid decline of gas pressures and improper drilling, with respect to pro tection from water, are two of the prin cipal causes which prevent oil fields from maintaining their brilliant initial records. "Gas pressures can be controlled to a lare-e extent and their expulsive nowers conserved by the proper drill ing and preparation oi wens ror pro duction.

VISALIA. Visalia school teachers have adopted a resolution presented to the Visalia Teachers' federation under which the organization would become affiliated with the American Federa tion of Labor through membership in the American Federation of Teachers. The action places Visalia on record as the third city in California to organize a teachers' union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Sacra mento and Vallcjo being the other two. The local federation, heretofore, has been purely a social organization un dertaking but local problems. The first move of the new union will be the creation of a committee to work with similar committees of other unions in the ttate in determin ing a fair wage for teachers. No wage problems- will be presented to the Vi salia board of education this year but, it is expected a scale will be handed the board before the authorities hire teachers for next season. miral von Tirpitz. the kaiser remarked to anotner admiral standing near: Tirpitz Is a bore with his documents; I should prefer a glass of champagne. "At your service, majesty," replied the other admiral, who rushed head long to bring a glass of champagne which he handed to his monarch witi a tow do w. Wilhelm drank half the glass, then went "out on to the bridge, beneath which were General von Hahnke and the officers of his brilliant suite. "Hahnke," shouted the emperor, "you would like some champagne too," and as the general turned his face upwards to reply, Wilhelm poured the remainder of his own glass over General Hahnke. "Majesty is too gracious," was General Hahnke's manly retort to this insult while the remaining officers of the imperial suite roared with laughter at the imperial joke. Wilhelm returned in boisterously good humor to the deckcabin and de manded something to eat. The at tentive admiral rushed to fetch some caviar sandwiches. Taking one of these . sandwiches, Wilhelm removed the butter and the caviar with his fore finger, which he then licked clean, and emerging once more upon the bridge shouted: "Hahnke. you would like some caviar sandwiches I am sure." As General Hahnke looked up to murmur his thanks, Wilhelm threw the remnant of bread in his face. Again General Hahnke, with a courtly bow replied: Majesty is too gracious.1 This was a typical scene, says Herr Fischart. resentatives of the six local business clubs met with the chiefs of the two big forces which will conduct the stock selling drive. The organizations rep resented were the Kiwanis club. Ad club, Rotary club. Progressive Busi ness Men s club. Realty Board and East Side Business Men's club.

"Everything looks fine for a clean sweep, with practically no obstacles, said O. M. Plnmmer, who returned last night from a trip to Spokane. "The whole northwest is awake to the tre mendous possibilities of the stock growing industry, and everywhere 1 have been I have found all the leading bankers and business men. as well as the stockmen, keenly interested in the j project."
