AN excellent array of vaudeville acts go -to make up the new bill at Pantages, with ' one of Langdon McCormack's spectacular acts to pro vide a thrilling headliner. This act is by the same man who produced "The Forest Fire," and this one, too. Is of a conflagration, only that it is a ship which burns at sea. "On the High Seas" is the title and, while the attraction depends mainly on its spectacular scenic and lighting efffects, there is a capable cast of actors and one particularly. These are James Phillips, who plays the role of a wireless operator who is a patriot and gets aboard a boat where treachery to the American govern ment is being carried on. The story is dramatic, even melodramatic in places, and sustains interest. The pictured event.; are, however, the thrillers. The first one is in the interior of a ship in mid-ocean, the second Is aboard a Cnited States cruiser and he third is a realistic arrivaj of a battle fleet. A huge burning ship rides the waves and two others come plowing through tho waters to rescue her. Electrical devices and amazingly ingenious contrivances furnish mrsterious ef fects and create a real sensation. r.ritt Wood is a capital entertainer. He is fundamentally an actor aud would have all the town for followers if he were in stock. He is a panto mime and would be a riot in pictures. His comedy depends on his slow, nat ural methods, a chuckle, a sly all embracing wink and an attitude of deep thought. He is very amusing, whether he sings about Irene while he twangs a guitar, or plays the mouth harp or dances. ' The College Quintet presents a fra ternity rehearsal, the entire musical setting of which was composed by one of the talented five, an interesting chap 'of delightful personality whose name is Charles Harrison. The melody five, one of whom Is a pretty girl with a flutey, sweet voice, carry on in songs and wind up with a riotous travesty on an orchestra playing one of the classics. It is so fjinny that the audience fairly yells. Foley and O'Neal, who . wrote "Jerry," are a likable pair, full of comedy and gifted vocally. They 'can dance, too. and fairly make the air crackle with their gayety. One of theiruew songs, "My Regular Girl Is a Regular Fellow," is a delightfully pleating melody, the lines are good and the two boys crowd a lot of har mony into it, c- - Opening the bill is a corking dance act put across by the Four Laurels, two slender dance-mad maids and two men, one of whom is a Fatty Arbuckle with Johnjiy Ford's feet. He adds comedy of a good -rt and, with the others, goes through a mil lion fast, intricate steps, exciting ap plause. Henry. Frey, billed as "the new re former," does a monologue. The tenth episode of "Dare Devil Jack," featuring pugilist Jack Demp sey, is running. SONG PROGRAMME OUT Galli-Curci Xumbers for Wednes day Announced.

' Ask your mother, aunt, grandmother, they will tell you of folks they have known who were cured of the many distressing, painful diseases which occur in most women's lives, by taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which is sold by druggists, in both fluid and tablet form. What women say: v - Mrs. Cora Pick, 5004 Martin St., Spokane, Wash., says: "When I was sixteen years old the local doctors all said there was no hope for me that I would die inside of six months of consump tion. I read an advertisement in a paper about Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription and what it had done for other girls. I got a -bottle of it and commenced to feel better right away and before I had finished the second bottle was all right. Have been regular ever since and am as healthy as any woman." . Mrs. W. D. Moore, 1246 No. Jackson St., Roseburg, Oregon, says: "I suffered something terrible, could scarcely stand on my feet. My head and back ached hard and I was weak and nervous. My legs and feet ached would bloat, and I was troubled with constipation. I had a severe pain in my side.

Ralph. 60 Terllurium St., Redding Calif., says: "Dr. Pierce's Fevorite Prescription is perfectly wonderful. I owe everything to this medicine.- When I was passing through middle life I had hemorrhages, also suffered severe pain and had terrible headaches. I suffered everything. Finally, I decided to take the Favorite Prescription'; it stopped the headaches, the f ains and the hemorrhages. I never-had any more trouble.' There is no such thing as a "new" Pierce-Arrow." Each year sees refinements in body styles and mechanical features, but the fundamentals remain the same. The Dual Valve Six of today has greater power and more flexi bility than the model of yester day. But this increased power has been secured by a refinement of six cylinder construction not by an increase of cylinders. As with the Dual Valve, so with every other Pierce-Arrow improvement.
