Report Heady to Be Made. "We are now In position to lay the committee's report before Al Kader temple for action next Saturday nlBht," said Mayor Baker, after the members of the committee had visited several proposed sites yesterday afternoon.

"There is one thing the committee would like emphasized. commented Jfayor Kakcr. "and that is. the Shrine draws no color line, neither does it recognize creed In the administration of these hospitals, for any crippled child of poor people Is eligible to entrance and all the services with out money and without prlre." The Portland Shrine hospital will have about 60 bods and Its equipment will be the latest known to science. NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS RIVERVIEW OWNERS INDUSTRIES WEEK TO OPEN IX PORTIiAND OS JAN. 23.

A TRIO of unforgettables, after you've hashed over the goods, bads and indifferents on the new Or pheum bill, cling in your memory and you'll find yourself recalling b(ts of their funning. One is Eddie Buzzell, one is Lydia Barry and one is Buck. Eddie is a rube who leaves the vil lage to cut a wide swath in the city. He leaves weeping for him a tradi tional small town belle, and sets out, equipped with an assortment of what he calls "wise cracks," a fearful and wonderful sartorial atmosphere and a 4arge confidence. By a clever con trivance of curtains the slices in Ed's life are revealed to us thick and fast. He almost dines a chorus queen, he has a fling In a Greenwich village studio, and he Is later on the verge of marrying a weird and wealthy widow when the village belle arrives on the scene. The author of the sketch has her selling cookies which she has made and none of us cares a cooky if the plot is a little wobbly and un steady on Its legs, for the village belle Is a sweet cookie herself and it's high time she arrived and put a stop to Ed's carryings on in the city. The belle is named Ethel Russell and she's a miniature of Lillian of the. same aurname. Eddie Is an ingenuous comedian, of quiet droll methods. His assumption of wise-g-uy tactics with the cnorus maid sent the audience Into laughter. The chorus maid by the way is perfectly portrayed by Dolly Lewis. To her lot fall Some of the keenest lmes in the sketch ana she delivers them so that they do Jhe most laughing good. The sketch is called "A Man of Affairs." It is full of timely fun, and original in treat ment, with a delightful song thrown in for good measure. Lydia Barry is of the famous Barry family, cumedy and quality folk of the stage. She has a Uueen of Sheba wardrobe and while pie or happiness may have added a few inches to I.ydia's girth she still displays a pair of fascinating ankles that flash and fly In dance. Lydia Is a lyrical recon teuse, meaning that she sings and tells stories. Her song about the pickaninny is a gem. So too is her three-cornered drama, in which , she onacts the willowy and misunderstood wife, the usual husband, and the other man. "As for Buck well. Buck is the life of the party. He is a diminutive Ethiopian who hasn't quite lost the shy. little boy quality in his smile and who has somewhere picked 'up an amazing knowledge of piano playing. Buck plays by ear, and very evident ly learned all his tunes that way, transposing as he goes along and put tina- any tune called for Into i dazzling colorful rag time. Buck has a partner, another ne-gro lad, a tall slender boy called Bubbles, who is capital dancer. His long legs fairly whirl through intricacies of stepping. These two negro boys are in the act sponsored by Nat Nazarro, who is producer and manager. In the same act another protogee of Nazarro's ap pears, an athletic young gymnast whose tumbles and balances are very fine. Mr. Nazarro also has another of his discoveries and protogees on the bill Hi is Cliff Nazarro. a dancer and singer, who appears with two charm ing and talented maids, the Darling Sisters- Their names fit them. These three, all youthful, offer Juvenile frivolities that please. Beatrice Sweeney Is a gymnast who puts her faith in her back molars ana swines bv 'em in mid air. Fink's mules are more aristocratic than the usual run of mules, and caper prettily through the usual tricks in a ring. A flock of smart little dogs and two busy monkeys add to the excitement. George Lane and Bert Byron have a corner on the oldest jokes In the world. p. s. This show closes with the matinee on Wednesday. t " IT Is no act on Hippodrome. ot often that the acrobatic on a vaudeville D1U surpasses the others in merit, but the two Vyeda Japanese balancers who ap peared for the first time yesterday at the Hippodrome can lay claim to the distinction without much fear of con test. With their feet they spin bar rels around the stage in easy manner and with great speed. Not once dur ing their performance is a hand used. Three of the five acts on the bill are straight vaudeville, entertaining of course, but nothing unusual. Dave Thursby does a hobo sketch called "One of the Idle Rich." that is amus ing and has a fair line of quips. Mar garet Dana and Leonard Loehr in "Just Little Bits" put on a combination of piano playing, songs and dances that seemed to take well with the audience. The songs were the popu lar ones of tKe moment and of course theater goers like to hear things they know better than something new. The third vaudeville act was by Betty Waldron and Jack Winslow and their dancing was one of the good things ot the new bill. Their set tings were In especially good taste and their costumes were equally well chosen. Both have rather good voices and altogether their act was spright-, ly, well done, and with good sub stance. Salvation Sue," a comedy drama of the frozen north headed by Octavia Handsworth. Is an, unusual sketch, appealing for its closeness to reality. The Salvation Army lassie bandies the hard-boiled Klondikers in a way that brings a good many laughs and the Klondikers' reaction to religion Just as funny. The motion picture Is "The Jour ney a End, with Mahel uaiiin ana Wyndham Standing Starring. The theme of the story with a mesalliance between a gentle, refined woman, and a crude husband. The wife leaves her mate, and he to give her freedom. causes her to believe him killed. Go ing to Rome he becomes a monk, but his wife and her second husband go there on their honeymoon, meet him and the shock is fatal to the man. The picture is interesting and well produced. FOUR HOUSES ARE ROBBED Three Rovolvers and Cigarettes Are Taken From Frank Xau's Home. A prowler, or prowlers, entered four homes on the east side last night. the most important loot reported missing being three revolv ers taken from the resiaence- oi Frank L. Nau, 5S5 Halsey street. En trance to the Nau home was through side window. Nickels and pennies were scattered over the floor and a quantity of Jewelry was not molested The only other articles missed were six of -seven packages of cigarettes and a cheap teapot. William R. Agnew, 598 East Fif teenth street North, reported his house prowled and S5 In cash miss ing. Entrance was through a back 1 window. Other homes entered were those of F. A. Robertson, 617 East Eleventh -street North, and M. Silver man, Sis East Tenth street North So far as poVice were able to deter mine last night, nothing of value wai taken. Baker. BY LEONE CASS BAER. RANGING alongside "Twin Beds" and "Fair and Warmer" and sun dry other bedroomy farces, "Up in JJa.be r Room" is one of the real comedy hits of the Baker season. .Jt is the old Btory of hide-and-seek but on this occasion it is a very pretty and daint bit of feminine lingerie which is being hidden and sought. The garment in question is a pink chemise and was purchased by Garry Ainsworth when he was In Paris and presented by parcel post to Mabel, whom he planned to marry later. But he didn't propose early enough and she married another chap and later, when she became a widow, she re minded Garry that she had treasured n uit ui lingerie an mese xnree years and still had it among her pos sessions. Which would have been all right if Garry hadn't recently become a benedict and his wife, was not one of the broad-minded type who would overlook a little Incident of this sort. Especially, Garry figured, it would be difficult to explain to his wife why he had had the garment embroidered "From Garry to Mabel." So, with one thing and another on his mind and Mabel threatening to show the gar ment to his wife just for fun, and his own pleadings proving In, vain, Garry carries out a well-laid plan to steal the garment. This is where the play gets its name, "Up in Mabel's Room," for it is in her blue and silver boudoir that all the complications incident to- Garry's theft transpire. It is a farce that depends quite as much on the essentials of plot as upon the types which people it and some of these, latter are so strongly characterized that they stand out as distinet creations. Ingeniously amusing situations and brisk dialogue are blended around the central idea. Mabel's room is the cen ter of activities and at some juncture of the evening every member of the house party travels there, only to be5 come an integral part of a delightful mix-up. Besides Mabel herself there is her fiance, an earnest young man whose faith in Mabel is stretched to almost breaking when he reviews the evidence. There is Garry, an unimag inative, phlegmatic, stupid bungler, and there is Mrs. Garry, a' jealous and sniffling bride. There are the Larch- mont pair, Mr. and Mrs., who get mixed up in Mabel's affairs and al most break up their own dovecote, and there is a blessed valet who does his bit by turning burglar and trying to steal the garment from Mabel. These people dash in and out of Ma bel's room. Sometimes one of them has the garment, sometimes it's an other and, like button, button, who's got the button. It is constantly on the go, with only the audience knowing wnere It is an the time. The acting is spontaneous and spar kling, as it must be in a farce of this kind. Walter Gilbert has rehearsed his players well and every minute is accounted for. The action fairly wmswes, it s so rapid, Frances Woodbury is direct and in clsive as the tantalizing Mabel, full or adventure until the tables are turned by her own Jealous fiance. Sel- mer Jackson brings a highly-amusing individuality to the role of the stupid Garry, blundering at every turn and always in hot water. Guy B. Kibbee is droll as the burglarizing valet. Mayo Methot as the suspicious Mrs. Larchmont adds materially to the comedy by hei adherence to the role, never for a minute getting out of the part of the snoopy, exacting, jealous talebearer. Her scenes with Rankin Mansfield as the explosive Mr. Larch mont occasion much hilarity for the audience. Leo Lindhard is very fine in the part of Mabel's sorely tried and trusting fHince. A splendid piece of emotional work is offered by Jane Gil- roy as the weeping and distressed bride of the seeming philanderer, Garry. She, too, satisfied by never getting out of her character. Tho women all wear handsome negligees in Mabel's room. Lora Rodgers is a nice, staid, elderly sister to the hero and chaperons Mabel. Virginia Rich mond is a French maid and Irving Kennedy is a butler. The cast: Kruper Trvinir Kennedy CorliHS Guy B.

BEN DILLON celebrated his eturn to the Lyric yesterday afternoon by giving a capacity audience a mu sical comedy treat called "The Four Sweethearts" and carrying off most of the comedy honors himself. The popular Irish comedian, who made Lyric patrons laugh for four seasons before his retirement nearly year ago, is as funny and enter taining as ever. He was greeted by one of- the greatest ovations ever given a Portland player when he made his first appearance on the stage at yesterday's matinee. After his vacation away from the footlights, the veteran funmaker was as full of "pep" as a youngster mak ing his first appearance. He proved that he can still step with the best of them when he danced an old-fash ioned waltz clog with Billie Bingham singing "Mickey O'Nell." The Four Sweethearts," one of 30 new plays gathered by Dillon at his southern California ranch, is a pleas- ng blend of song, dance and comedy. The comedy Is furnished- by Dillon and his partner of long standing. Al Franks, with Eddie G. Wright aiding and assisting the work of laugh-ejot-ting. Comedy situations come thick and fast in the lively plot of the show. The biggest applause winner in the play is a scene in which a bevy of Rosebud chorus maids, in one-piece bathing suits, are put through a course in beauty culture by Dillon and Franks. The musical part of the programme Is marked by several good song num bers, including "One Kiss." sung by Dorothy Raymond; "Everybody Step," by Howard Evans, and "Stand Up and Sing," by Anna Chick. WILL MEET TODAY Lot Holders Seek Solution of Financial Problem. TRUSTEES TO BE CHOSEN Proposal to Sell Certain Property and Raise Price of Lots Will Be Considered. All owners of lots in Rlvervlew cemetery are urged to attend an ad journed meeting to be held In the main hall of the Central library at 3 o'clock this afternoon to endeavor to work out Borne solution of the finan cial problem confronting the associa tion, arising out of the fact that the irreducible fund, originally required by the by-laws and state law, was used for purposes other than specified and some means must now be found to preserve the grounds and insure future care of the property. Every lot owner has a vote and is entitled to participate in the session today. At the meeting this afternoon, a committee of five lot owners, none of whom are trustees, will report nomi nations for six vacancies on the board of trustees. Including W. M. Ladd. president, who announced at a meet ing last week that he could not serve longer.. Mr. Ladd has left Portland for an extended trip. Election of Che six trustees is scheduled as an im portant feature of this afternoon's meeting. Rehabilitating Plan Sought. The main purpose of the meeting will be to find ways and means of re habilitating the finances of the ceme tery association and several methods probably will be suggested. Including a detailed programme submitted last week by Strong & MacNaughton. This entails a proposition of selling cer tain of the association's property and increasing by 50 per cent the price of lots remaining to be sold. At last week's meeting, Joseph N. Teal, a lot owner, made a motion to reinstate the article of the by-laws governing the conduct of the. associa tion and' relating to an Irreducible fund, so that there will be such a fund, to be used In the preservation of the grounds of the cemetery in their present high standard of clean liness and beauty. To permit of time in which lot owners might think over the situation and perhaps assist in suggesting some workable plan of constructive nature, Mr. Teal with drew his motion,-'' but probably will renew it this afternoon. C. Henri Labbe, chairman of the committee of five lot owners, is anxious that as many lot owners as possible attend the meeting. While there has been considerable criticism of the board of trustees because of their action in eliminating articles re- I lating to the irreducible fund and their expenditure of funds for pur- j poses other than that originally re-' quired, the disposition of the large majority of the lot owners seems to be to devote their attention to work ing out some solution of the present problem, rather than to discuss the actions of the trustees. Conservative Plan Suggested. That It has always been a physical Impossibility to observe the articles governing the Irreducible fund, be cause of insufficient Income to enable the trustees so to do, is the declara tion of Charles H. Carey, a trustee. and his statement Is the voice of-the entire board. Strong & MacNaugh ton's report declares the present dif ficulty is the result of the original organizers of the association in fix ing too small a price upon lots to en able the execution of their plan for perpetuation of the grounds. What seems to me now most to be needed," said Mr. Teal, "is some con servative plan whereby there will be Immediately created and always scrupulously maintained an Irreduci ble fund. We cannot get along with out that. Personally. I have no de- ire to criticise unduly, neither is there personal feeling In my attitude, but the lot owners are entitled to and must have a fund for the perpetua.' care of the cemetery and that fund must be kept inviolate." !

Ireland Is now entering a period of peace, happiness and prosperity such as the, Irish have , never previously experienced, if the Irish people, north and south, only accept the pro visions of the present treaty offered by Britain, according to Miss Kath leen Parlow, violin virtuoso, who was ntervleved last night in the Multno mah hotel.
