Orphenm. ANOTHER duly Initiated member of the Amalgamated Order of Movie Stars Appearing in Person visits Portland In the person of Mrs. Sidney Drew, who is billed as the headline attraction of the new Orpheum show. In the matter of salary, position on the programme and display of extra-large type on the billboards Mrs. Drew is the headliner. But the feature of the show that is worth "hocking" the winter overcoat for is the delightful, but unheralded, act of Miss Lois Bennett and Phil Shep- pard. A more charming bit of vaudeville entertainment than the Bennett-Shep pard offering has not graced a local stage in an azure lunar display. Miss Bennett, dainty and petite, is truly what the programme calls her, "a ray of western sunshine." Her voice is a delight, for she sings as natur ally and sweetly as a happy canary. But the real treat, almost miracle, of her work Is her enunciation. It is a rare experience to be able to distln guish the words of a song presented by a girl singer, but Miss Bennett makes it possible. Her high notes are the cream of . melody,, and the thought of the lyric is brought out by her gift of tongue. Her songs are not highbrow or classical, but crooning, humming harmonies of the ballad type. And her clever partner, Sheppard, la more than a mere accompanist. This clean-cut model for collar ads can play the piano with talented feeling, and he can sing splendidly in solo or blending his notes with those of the dazzling Miss Bennett. Under their skillful treatment, the words of a ballad no longer sound like "Blah de la blah blah you blah blah fer me." The pleasing team appear as the second- act on the pro gramme, do their work with an con tagious spirit of youth and make no cheap appeal for undeserved ap plause. But to get baek te Mrs. Drew. She appears with Thomas J. Carrlgan and Mary Alden in a domestic com edy 6k it called "Predestination." The play has plenty of human interest and several touches of light comedy. The big and never-failing laugh getter in the playlet is the line, ''It was all ordained millions of years ago, which the charaoter played by Mrs. Drew, a devotee of predestina tion, uses to explain almost every happening in the home life. Mrs. Drew is the same plump, smiling "Polly" who was loved by millions of film fans for her domestic comedies on the screen, when she and Sidney Drew gave the motion picture world a type of clean, humor ous play that no other pair have ever replaced. The laugh center of the new bill Is found in the act of Ray and Emma Dean. Ray ia a wise-cracking slicker ith a red necktie and nightmare clothes. He utters horrible threats in a falsetto voice, and his bashful twistingg keep the fun shooting along like an owl taxi. The finish of the act is strong, with Ray doing some great eccentric dancing, mora of which would help his offering. A wealth of song and dance is pre sented by Gladys Buckridge, Billy Casey and the Trado- twins. Miss Buckridge and Casey do the singing in good style. The Trado twins are a couple of "dancin' fools," who stick together like the Smith brothers in their whirlwind stepping. James Pinto and Jack Boyle have an unusual act featured by music, song and comedy. The first part is a riot of laughs, and one of the boys makes a banjo do everything but 1 say the alphabet. . Weston's models open the. show with artistic and remarkable poses as statues. Raymond Wilbert, jug gler and hoop roller, closes the bill with deft manipulations. Aesop's Film Fables, Pathe news and Topics of the Day are also shown. This show closes with the matinee Wednesday. N' Baker. O FAIR tellin the plot of "The Haunt House," the ; shivery comedy mystery, or mystery comedy, at the Baker. Fending the closing of negotiations for a murderous crusade against the m -get minds who read movie sub titles aloud. Chic I Jenkins and his sturdiest strong-arm squads might contribute to our civie happiness by dealing out brutal justice to the gar rulous folk who ruin the enjoyment of a mystery play by giving out all the details to the plot to those who haven t seen the show yet. A review of the entertaining action of "The Haunted House" would spoil everything for the future viewer of this cleverly constructed play. Suf fice, to say that the Baker offering is a thoroughly delightful drama. capital burlesque of such spooky plays as "The Bat" and "The Thir teenth Chair.' v "The Haunted House" has a gen erous supply of shrieks and groans from a pitch-black stage, weird trap pi..grs and great gobs of mystery. It'i one of those plays in which circum stantial evidence points to everyone but the orchestra leader as a mur derer. Through a series of sparkling sit uations the plot speeds to an unusual climax. The play is like one of those popular confections of ice cream wrapped in chocolate. The ice cream is represented by the cold, clammy murder mystery, but the shiver stuff is surrounded by comedy sweetening. If you ve had the treat of seeing The Bat" or "The Thirteenth Chair, or kindred melodramas in which mystery is thicker than the clam chowder in a north-end restaurant. you'll get an added "kick" out of The Haunted House." which bur lesques these memorable thrill' makers in remarkable manner. The play was written by that pro lific playwright, Owen Davis, who has given Broadway, New York, and the Broadways of other cities on the theatrical map many a good drama Walter B. Gilbert, director of the Baker company, has staged the pro duction with his usual skill and at tention to details. Of particular in terest are the lighting effects. Gilbert is a master of stage lighting who would please David Belasco himself. In a Baker show, when a character touches a switch or raises a window shade the lighting of the stage changes appropriately at just the proper moment. Nothing destroys the desirable stage illusion quicker than the sight of a player pushing a but ton which brings a response from electrio lights several seconds later. Leo Lindhard has the most interest ing role of the week as Desmond Duncan, novelist and amateur crimin ologist. He plays- the part -with ease and talent, making the experiments f the expert on deduction and applied psychology a constant joy. To say that Selmer Jackson is in the cast is to say that the leading role is filled in excellent fashion, for this popular player has yet to disap point a Baker audience. Leona Powers, charming in a pretty gray frock which sets off her Titian hair, is all that could be desired 'in the leading feminine role. Jane Gilroy is splendid as the novel ist's wife, Rankin Mansfield proves he can play a character part as well as the role of a handsome juvenile. Mayo Methot has only a small part, but she makes it very worth while. William A. Lee is a detective, George P. Webster Is a nervous old gentle man, Irving Kennedy is a rural police force and Lawrence Keating a chauf feur. The cast: Morgan Gny B. Kibbee Emily Driscoll.

THE antics of the seven war veter ans, four of whom take feminine parts, in "Getting It Over," the new headliner at the Hippodrome, made one of the most delightful sketches seen on that stage this winter. The cast Is represented as coming from the original 27th division, show and the musical farce 6hown is also gleaned from the same production. Some of the girl parts are serious, but mostly they are burlesque and rich in satire. There Is the typical mademoiselle, the. flapper, 'the real vaudeville artist, Egyptian dancers, and several other take-offs that are delightfully ridiculous. "The Roughneck" is another com edy sketch included in the new bill, and is rather a nice bit bt folly put on by Homer Miles and a company of two. It has a little more barb hid den in the lines, but hidden well enough by song and chatter that It doesn't matter much. Then there are two vaudeville acts and a physical culture part on the bill besides, and all of them are up to standard and better. Mann and Mallory put on a skit entitled "I Love Liver," which has to do with slapstick married life. and Josephine Harmon recites "A Bit of Gab," that is exceptionally funny and full of real wit. Foley and Spar tan are the athletic performers ana their work consists mostly of feats of unusual strength. Vivian Martin stars in the motion picture, "Pardon My French," which combines rather likeable characters in a stranded theatrical troupe and family that is swimming in oil- money and doesn't know how to han dle it. A pair of interlopers attempt to swindle the nouveau riches and blame their work on the make-be-iieve French maid, a part taken by Miss Martin. Their scheme is discov ered through the-work of the maid and the threatened ruin is avoided. Ed White.... Rankin ManBfleld Ezra Mestle..... .5. ..Irving Kennedy Isabel WeBtley.......

XJ like the famous Maginty went, goes Al Franks in the role of a deep- sea diver in the new Lyric show, "In Florida," which opened the usual week's engagement yesterday after noon at the popular musical comedy playhouse. The setting of "In Florida" Is laid in a winter resort in the great south ern tourist headquarters. To a fash ionable hotel come Ben Dillon and Franks and the other Lyric principals on various missions centered around important papers showing plans for the invention of a new aeroplane. The plans are stolen by Iny Blots, played by Eddie G. Wright, and Mike and Ike go after them. The search takes Ike to the bottom of the briny deep, where ha loses an argument to a man-eating alligator. The fun is fast and furious throughout the ac tion of the new play.

"Yes, this note's from the same fellow the man I was telling you about and who started in with me here 10 years ago like you are now starting. Look at him today; he's general manager. It is an object les son for anyone and a story that I want you to know so you can avoid the mistake I made. "The first two years we both plodded along together. Arid then, he seemed to forge ahead, faster and faster until I was lost altogether in the dust. I knew why it was and still I was too stubborn or hidebound to admit it to myself and act accordingly. He was always a stickler for personal appear ance; I called him a dude. He contended that he could buy his clothing as he needed it on credit without paying out any large amount at one time and without having to pay any more for it, I contended that it was not possible for merchants to do business on credit Without charging more for what they sold. He proved in the end that he was right-a system, it seems, after which Joy, the Tailor, patterns his selling policies. I, too, have finally come to ft, but it's too late for me to go very much farther up. The thing to remember, my boy, is that first impressions are governed by ap pearance; that first impressions are lasting "From a Year o In Ten Years" and that the kind of first impressions you make influences your whole career because they not only influence those with whom you come in contact, but yourself as well. That is the answer, after all; how your personal appear ance really affects you. Because you are either confident, aggressive, enthusiastic and pro gressive, or you are discouraged, despondent and satisfied to let well enough alone., "Herei the way the policy logically works out Taks for example, a suit or overcoat that cost 70 perfectly tailored. The Interest on 70 for 6 months (the average time it takes to pay for it on credit) would amount to 2.10; That's the amount which I used to argue that the merchant does and must charge his credit customers in addition to what the cash custom er pays. And the average merchant. I used to say, doubles and trebles the 2.10 to his credit customers in order to cover collection costs, losses, etc. But Joy, the Tailor, don't figure it that way. He figures that the Kttle which the interest would amount to on deferred payments, is a small price to pay for anyone's business and especially so when he is able to bold his customers indefinitely by reason of their account always being open, and the satisfaction he is bound to deliver because of his customer always being in a position to stop payments in case dissatisfaction arises. And Joy is right) if one's tailoring patronage is not worth 35c month to any tailor, it isn't worth sny tog. "Now, you have ft al!, my boy. Take the lesson home and profit by it. Joy, the Tailor, is located at 104 Fourth, and is an old and reliable Portland merchant." and a straw hat tnat must have been day."
