NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS I
; . :
Heilig.
BT LEONE CASS BAER.
BLESSED are the- unimaginative,
for they shall see no evil.
To the Heilig last evening
came another farce. This one is called
"She Walked in Her Sleep." It is m's
called. Because. If she had merely
walked and continued walking In her
slumbers the story never could have
happened. As far as that point is
concerned it never could have hap
pened anyway.
The point is that she did not keep
on walking, but paused and loitered
along the way. The way led from her
suite of rooms, which she occupied
with her father in a big residential
hotel, to another suite on the same
floor occupied by a pair of honey
mooners. The lady honeymooner had
a mother In the same hotel, on an
other floor, and her brother (the
honeymooner's young brother) had
rooms adjoining mother's.
Also domiciled in the hostelry on
some other floor were Maudie and
Bill, who were friends of the honey
mooners. Maudie and Bill had a 90-10
domestic basis, with Bill as the 10 per
cent. Big enough in bulk to oblit
erate the entire hotel menage, includ
ing Maudie, who was no sylph, poor
old . Bill jumped through rhen ,she
commanded." played dead or sat up and
begged. Being of a suspicious nature
herself Maudie extended her activi
ties and spread the propaganda of
wifely suspicion to Mrs. Honeymoon
er, whose addled little head was fer
tile Boil for just such Ideas.
When the fair sleep-walker walked
along a balustrade outside the hotel
and flitted Into Mister Honeymooner's
apartments she was unluckily enough
treading In the wake of a domestic
upheaval in which Mrs. Honeymooner
had demanded the details of an
evening away from home, and, denied
the details, had rushed to mother's
rooms.
To make a real story the details
of the said evening-away-from-home
were perfectly proper, but they had
to do with a business venture to
which he and Bill had sworn secrecy.
The third partner In the business ven
ture was the father of the sleep-walking
siren. To make it more compli
cated the somnambulist's fiance was
Mrs. Honeymooner s brother. Now
that you have been given this much
you can probably figure out some of
ii yourself.
JNo one knew the identity of -the
sleep walker save a fat-headed young
doctor who had been sworn to secrecy
by her father. Everyone was under a
cloud of suspicion. Even the unso
phisticated Mamie Cassidy. one of the
maids, is dragged protestingly Into
the limelight of suspicion." Her con
fusion of what she ought to tell and
what she ought not to tell kept the
audience in hilarity. . Of course, the
Identity of the fair sleep walker is re
vealed in a climacteric moment.
The company has been selected
carefully to fit the types. Of them
all, Paul Nicholson's role of Bill is
most memorable. His ability to ex
press quiet, almost sotto voce com
ment and his fine shadings of voice
took away all semblance of acting
from the role. His pantomime, vtoo,
proved delightful the sudden uplift
ing of an eyebrow, a rolling of his
expressive eyes, or a bit of assumed
playfulness in a tight moment seemed
all the funnier by reason of his 6-

Portland " Employers ' Meet With
Committee of Chamber of Com
merce to Outline Plans.
'Of every ten positions we have.
one Is open to an ex-service man,
was the response of Portland lumber
men and bakers when the Chamber of
Commerce employment organization
appealed to all Industries to find
places for ex-service men. The lum
bermen and master bakers were the
first . to . respond to the call, every
lumberman in Portland sending In a
pledge card, while more than half
of the master bakers have done like
wise.
The added impetus to the movement
to find work for soldiers came at a
noon meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce when Mayor Baker and 150
businessmen of Portland, employers
from every industry, gathered to for
mulate a plan to relieve the employ
ment situation. The meeting was
opened by J. C. English, acting chair
man of the Chamber of Commerce
employment bureau, who briefly out
lined the purpose of the meeting.
Mayor Baker then spoke in emphasis
of the need of action in behalf of the
unemployed veterans.
E. D. Kingsley, chairman of the
committee, explained the plan which
the committee followed. Mr. Kings-
ley. W. W. Clark and C B. Stetson
comprise the committee which is can
vassing mills of the city and R. H.
Burnside, H. B. Van Duzer and C A.
Doty are in charge of the work of
co-ordinating the canvass work in
Oregon and Washington.
MILL SUIT IS NEAR END
North Bend Case Expected to Go
to Jury Today.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 18. (Spe
cial.) The suit of the North Bend
Lumber company to recover $400,000
for alleged damagfls to mills of the
company, said to have been caused
by floods resulting from the leakage
of a city reservoir in Cedar river
watershed, is expected to go to the
jury some time Friday. Trial began
December 1.
The plaintiff is seeking recovery on
the theory that the north bank of the
reservoir back ' of the city's Cedar
river dam leaked and caused floods
which. In December, 1918, destroyed
lumber mills on Boxley creek. The
city, denying defects In the reservoir,
contends the floods were from natural
causes rains and melting snows. The
trial brought out a mass of expert tes
timony on both sides. The charts,
maps, reports and plastic engineering
models introduced in evidence were
numerous.

Action .by School Board Not Taken
and Directors Are Peeved.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec 8. (Spe
cial.) The board of education did
not elect Dr. William T. Foster of
Portland as the new superintendent
of the Los Angeles city schools to
day in epite of the previous state
ment of more than one member of the
board that it would do so.
Instead, the newspapers of the city
which have quoted various of the
board members on the subject were
warmly criticised by members D. K.
Edwards and Melville Dozler, for the
matter published.
Miss Stoddart would not be drawn
into the discussion ' and Misa York
represented that she knew nothing
of the meeting of the four members
with Dr. Foster.

"The Paper House," and the style
show is the "Paper Dress Revue," be

unique and made only of paper. Toots
has some keen songs, and with Bob

principal Is Andy McLaughlin, who
affords fun as a new errand boy. and
drops into song most acceptably.
Nora Allen delights her hearers

declared the board is not In a hurry
to appoint a successor to Dr. Shiels
and that they had decided to hear
several of the visiting speakers with
the idea of employing a new super
intendent. In support of this contention Mr.
Edwards remarked that he had asked
the secretary of the board to prepare
a list of the applicants for the po
sition so that a choice could be made.
Action may be taken on the mat
ter of appointing a superintendent
at the next regular meeting of the
board Monday night. The committee
of the whole, however, may meet
at any time at the call of the chair

FLIGHT OF GORDEN
Air Record of Round-the-

EXPERIENCE HELD. SMALL
Ability of Local Man to Make Long
Trip Questioned by Well-Informed
Aerial Experts.
G. M. Gorden of Portland, who made
a declaration through the press in
San Francisco last Tuesday that he
would soon start out on a flight
around the world by airplane, has
never made a flight, according to ths
belief expressed yesterday by O. K
Jeffery of the Oregon, Washington &
Idaho Airplane company.
Mr. Jeffery said yesterday that he
knew Mr. Gorden personally and that
so far as he knew the man's aeronau
tical experience consisted of the con
struction of an airplane In June of
last year, which never flew.
"The man has no flying service rec
ord, no pilot's license and my Infor
mation is that he never made a
fliB-ht," said Mr. 'Jeffery.
Mr. Gorden announced that ha
would . make the flight around the
world In an NC machine of the type
Commodore Reads used In his flight
across the ocean.
"There are only four of these ma
chines In existence, and they are
owned by the United States govern
ment." said Mr. Jeffery. "A machine
of this type carries a cre of seven
men, and so It would be Impossible
for Gorden to make his proposed
flight alone on such a ship.
Mr. Jeffery said that Gorden. who
had returned to Portland, was In his
office yesterday and asked for a cata
logue of the N-C aeroplane, the type
he is declared to have announced h
would use for his proposed flsfcht.
