Orpheum.
D'YE remember the acutely slender
Jackie Hayes and her Mellln
food partner. Buster Santos, who
come over the Orepheum circut once
each season and make capital out of
their physical shortcomings and
abundances?
Some far-seeing: soul has taken the
plump Miss Santos and the thin Miss
Hayes and made them the foundation
for one of the most diverting and en
tertaining: acts that has come to the
Orpheum in a long: time. Upon first
analysis it would seem that the slim
Hayes lady, with a lark imprisoned
In her throat and a gift of humor In
her slender prancing legs, would need
no other background than her plump
Becker played with true musicianly
finish. Mr. Barron showed ability in
playing in selecting of bis solos. The
group of "Chant Nlgre" (Kramer),
"Serenade" (Piern-e), and "Maiurka"
(Volpe), were especially liked, and
won for Mr. Barron three hearty re
calls. Harold W. Moore has a good
basso voice. He pleased the audience.
The Portland Oratorio society sang
with heartiness and careful atten
tionto expression and coloring, and
Mr. Finlev directed with fine ability,
the choruses most favored by the au
dience being "List the Trumpet's
Thrilling Sound" (Birch),- and the
thrilling, majestic, "Land of Hope
and Glory" (Elgar).

home, and the new bill at the Hip

built on the humorous theme of con
nubial lmcompatlbllity. the second of
which kept the house in an uproar

This was "Who's Who," put on by
Jack Russell and company. The cast
of four oersons contains a trow

another oalr where the same charac
teristics are exactly reversed. The
brow-beaten wife dare not move
without her husband's permission

simultaneous homecoming or the two

mates turn the tables and some
body else gets horsewhipped.
The other sketch is the "Peace

parents.
Madame Vera comes back to th
HlDDodrome again this week after
a two years' absence, in her charm
ing little song act in a suspended
basket which Is hoisted out over the
audience as she sings. Considerable
levity is caused each time she floats
down and pets some nice man, usually
picking one who is with his wife.
The bill is enlarged this week with
an ctra act, making a total of six.

sweetheart's fortune, and the schem

relatives, who does not know her,
falls in love with her, and of course
everybody is happy at the end.
Auditorium.
A DIVERSIFIED . programme, cleverly-arranged
to show plenty of
mnsrcal" contrast, - held the attention
of-a laree-, enthusiastic audience yes
terday afternoon, at- one of the popu-
ar oonoarts in the public auditorium.
The large seating capacity downstairs
was practically filled. The programme
consisted of pipe organ solos by
Lucien K. Becker, vocal solos by Har
old W. 'Moore, basso, violin solos by
Robert Louis Barron, and vocal numbers-
by 50 members of the Portland
Oratorio . society. Joseph. A. Finley,
conductor, with Miss Ida May Cook,
piano accompanist.
The favorite organ numoera were
the overture' to Wagner's "Tann
hauser," and others of that type. Mr.

of comedy situations with a laugh In
every line, make "Ike's Night Out" at.
he Lyric a generous offering ot en
ertalnment. The new show was well
received at the opening performance
yesterday afternoon.
The plot sends a thread of laughs
through the pleasing mixture of
songs and dances that feature the
piece. Al Franks, as Ike Leschlnskl,
spends an evening away from home
while his wife and daughter are out
of town. .Ike Is the l'fe of a party
which celebrates with the well-known
trio, liquor, ladles and jazz. In the
course of his celebration Ike meets
Rose Collins, an actress.
The next day the stage queen comes
to Ike's house. She doesn't make
much of a hit with Ike's mother-in-law
and Ike tries to get out of an
embarrassing situation by introduc
ing the theatrical visitor as his niece.
Then Ike's real niece appears on the
scene, followed by Mrs. Leschlnskl,
and the fun Marts popping at a merry
clip. Ike finally squares himself
after an uproarious session.
The hit of the musical portion of
the show Is a novelty number in
which Howard Evans sings "Tumble
Inn" while the Rosebud maids build
a tiny bungalow on the stage. Dor
othy Raymond, who has the part of
Rose, presses Evans for first honors
with her song, "Two Lips." and Billle
Bingham is a close contender with a
lively ballad called "Ma." Anna
Chick is rewarded with applause
when she revives the old favorite,
"Yip I Addy I Aye," with an original
twist. Jewel LaVelle sings "My Sun
ny Tennessee" and Joe Little plays a
medley of Irish airs on the violin.

OPENING OF ROAD DUBIOUS

Hills; Sawmill Wrecked.
TOLEDO, Or., Nov. 27. (Special.)
Authentic information was received
in Toledo this morning relative to the
damage done on the lower Siletz by
the recent storm. No lives were lost,
but much livestock along the river
was drowned.
Clyde Morris lost his team. Gus
Siea lost house, barn and livestock,
barely escaping to the hill with his
family in a boat. L. C. Mowrey lost
12 head of cows and his barn floated
600 feet down the river. Joe Stears
lost his team and cattle. Elmer Mil
ler lost his cattle and his barn float
ed 600 feet down the river. Wheeler's
sawmill was badly wrecked but did
not float away. J. S. Lloyd lost his
barn and all his purebred Holstein
cattle. Jim Derby lost his house and
all his cattle. Paul Keihl lost his
house and George Freuchts' house
floated 700 feet down the river.
This information was obtained from
L. C. Mpwrey, who received the re
port from a couple of men who trav
ersed the river from Mowrey's land
ing to Kernvllle and back. Damage
In other parts of the county is not
srf serious as at first reported, and

highway engineer, the bridges can be
Machines Held Liable to Be Frozen
In Until Spring if New Storm
Should Occur.
Opening of the Columbia river
highway, now icebound between
Bridal Veil and Hood River, and the
rescue of more than $200,000 worth
of automobiles caught in the storm
of a week ago and abandoned by
drivers, depends largely upon weather
conditions during the next couple of
weeks. Warm weather, accompanied
by rains and warm winds in the
gorge, will cut down the huge ice
piles over the highway to a point
where they can be combated by steam
thovels, trucks and crews of men. If
the weather is freezing, however, or
If more snow should fall, the gorge
will be Icebound tighter than ever,
and automobile owners may as well
get comfortable before their hearths
at home and wait for next springs
thaw. - -
Highway Is Inspected.
Such was the verdict of representa
tives of The Oregontan who made i
trip over a portion of the highway
during the week-end. A member of
the news staff, together with The
Oregonian staff photographer, pene
trated the highway to a point sev
eral miles beyond Multnomah falls
Thev were taken nearly to Latou-
relle by Harry C. Hays, manager of
tne .fontanel nrancn oi tne. ttjiiys
Overland Pacific company. In an
Overland car, and this being the end
of the car trail at t-hat time, they
abandoned gasoline power for leg
power and tramped the distance to
the falls.
Those who have gone only to Crown
Point and a short distance 4eyond
cannot realize the size of the drifts
beyond that point, drifts which may
keep the highway closed all winter.
Truck Clears Road.
As a result of operations yesterday
with the big four-wheel-drive truck,
which has been used to battle the
snow and ice east of Crown Point,
the highway was opened last night us
far as Bridal Veil, according to Coun'y
Koadmaster Eatchel. During the day
the bg truck, equipped with a double
set of chains broke up the road to
that point and leveled off the snow
so that the road is safe for touring
cars, although all who make the trip
should have their cars equipped with
chains, Mr. Eatchel said.
Last night the truck was driven
back to Portland for minor repairs
and this morning will go back to the
front and attack the road east of
Bridal Veil. It Is hoped to have the
road opened from that point to Mi.U
Falls by tonight. Just what will be
done to combat the giant slide at Mist
Falls, which Is much larger thaa any
heretofore tackled, has not been determined.
Slide Blocks Road.
Here Is the first severe slide on the
highway, a solid mass of snow and
ice, hard packed and perhaps 25 feet
deep over the highway at its deepest
point. At Wahkeena falls is another
eevere ice drift, while Multnomah
falls Is Imprisoned with heavy drifts
on both sides. From this point on to
the vicinity of Mitchell Point tunnel
is an almost continuous series of ice
and snow drifts, It was stated.
At a meeting today a report w'll be
rendered by engineers who have been
making an Investigation of conditions
on the highway, and the state high
way commission will decide upon
what action, if any, is to be taken to
open the road and rescue the impris
oned automobiles, more than 150 in
number.
If It is decided to clear the highway
by mechanical means great difficulty
will be encountered in the work and
several weeks at least will Be re-'
quired. It Is believed. Nearly all of
the severe drifts have occurred at
points where the highway runs par
allel to and within a few feet of tre
railroad. The railroad has cut its way
through the drifts, leaving walls of
snow on either side. In clearing the
highway at such points the snow
could not be thrown down upon the
railroad track and would have to b
hauled out by truck loads, nearly du
plicating the process of building the
original grades.
Even if the highway cannot be
opened before next spring much can
be done to rescue the automobiles
caught in "The gorge, and owners of
such cars should bestir themselves at
once according to the advice of those
who have visited the gorge. All cars
should be dug out of the snow, dried
off and covered with tarpaulins. A
few hours time would accomplish this
for each car-owner, and with the rail
road resuming service it should no
be a difficult undertaking to reach
the stranded machines. Some of the
machines can be brought out direct
on the railroad, while others can be
assembled at such points as Cascade
Locks and Bonneville by breaking
short portions of road.
Snow Injarea Autosj.
For example, four cars are stalled
at Multnomah falls, and all of these
could be handled by the railroad just
as soon as adequate service has been
established. Great harm will be done
to cars from exposure, if the cars are
allowed to stand in the snow drifts
without any attempt being made tc
shovel them out and dry them off, anj
owners of cars who neglect their ma
chines entirely until the happy and
prrhaps distant day when they can
go in and get them and drive them
out over the highway on their own
power are liable to get a rude awak
ening. Thefts-from cars stranded along th-s
highway have been numerous. Oar

NORMAL SERVICE RESUMED
Half of 7 000 Telephones Are Yet
to Be Placed in Order.
Normal conditions in rail and util
ity service, with exception of tele
phones, ruled normal In Portland yes
terday for the first time since Novem
ber 19. when the silver thaw began.
Telephone service was mending rap
idly yesterday. According to C. E.
Hickman, commercial superintendent
of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company, half of the. 7000 telephones
which remained out of order Satur- ,
day night had been placed In order by
last night. By the last of this week
it was expected that telephone service
would be normal within and without ,
the citf-. . j
The Western Union operated nor
mally north, south and west yester- I
day. " With the exception of a short i
space in the Columbia gorge there
was wire communication to the east. ,
Al! points in eastern Oregon could bi ;
reached.
Officials of the telephone company
reported that two lines to eastern
Oregon would be In operation by to
night. These will lead to Spokane
and other points. A few points near
to the city will not have service until
the middle of the week or later. It
was expected that workmen would be
gin today in Parkrose. Along the old
Whltehouse road on the Willamette
river south a new cable lVi miles long
must be put in. It is expected that
this will be done by Wednesday. East
and Woodlawn exchanges will be nor
mal today.
AU railroads out of Portland were
operating normally yesterday. The
Union Pacific, whose main line
through the Columbia river gorge wag
cleared Saturday night, was runjiingr
both passenger and freight trains
through yesterday. The Bend branch
still was snowbound. A rotary snow
plow was working yesterday to clear
this line at the earliest opportunity.
The Spokane, Portland & Seattle
line continued full service on the main
line and all branches with the excep

United States.
In addition to giving our patients
the very best possible dental service
we carefully advise them how to care
for the teeth. This, combined wiffr
our scientific painless methods and
our moderate charges means that
you should not neglect your teeth
under any circumstances.
