Pantages.1
ARTISTRY and comedy combine to
make a well-balanced bill at the
Pantages theater this week. Fletcher
Norton and Violet Horner present an
unusual act which they call "Inspira
tion," a -number which gives them
plenty of opportunity to display their
varied talents. '
Unlike most acts of this character.
it has a unity .of arrangement and a
beauty of setting: that alone makes
it worthy of attention. Norton and
his partners have splendid voices and
they know well how to use them
Violet's solo, a pretty little aria, is
especially well done and won her
much applause. She is a petite maiden
who wears beautiful gowns and is a
graceful dancer.
rvorton plays cleverly on the piano
and sings several original songs. His
dancing Is a type all his own. The
act closes with syncopations of clas
sical music.
Hughle Clark, billed as the "com
mander-in-chief of the army of fun,"
is a constant delight with his seem
ingly endless patter and fund of
stories. He makes the most of every
funny situation and sings entertain
ingly a number of nonsensical ditties.
His method of "stepping" is novel
and he was called . back yesterday
several times to demonstrate some of
his latest stunts.
The three Moran sisters appear In
diverting number. 'The Musical
Melange." They all play the violin
remarkably well and delight with
solos and ensemble numbers. One
sister plays the piano and trombone
as well, and all three can sing. They
play a variety of numbers classical
and popular, and some with plenty
of jazz.
Giddy and Giddy present a differ
ent sort of tumbling act which starts
out as if it were to be a fancy dance
number and ends by showing many
feats of strength.
VV ill Morns, in "Tattered Talent.!
provokes many laughs just by fall
ing about the stage and getting
mixed up in most amazing ways with
the furniture. He does some new
bicycle stunts.
Boris Fridkins company closes the
programme with some Interesting
dances and songs.
College Orchestra May iPlay Here.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
