SOCIAL WORK REVIEWED
About 200 Persons Hear Talk by
' Professor Parsons.
The history and development of
scientific social work from the earli
est forms of socialism up to the adop
tion of the present methods of aiding
poverty was reviewed yesterday by
Phillip C. Parsons, professor of so
ciology at thV University of Oregon
and director of Portland school of
social work, for about 200 persons at
a, meeting held under the auspices of
the Industrial Workers of the World
at 109 Second street.
Professor Parsons explained , that
the old way of curing poverty
through relief work was giving way
to work in preventing it. He said
this was being effected by securing
wore equitable distribution of mate
rial goods through the reorganization
of industrial compensation.
Masonic Official Home.
ALBANY. Or., March 11 (Special )
Dr. Walter R. Bilyeu of this city,
grand high priest of the grand chap
ter. Royal Arch Masons of Oregon,
has returned from a trip into eastern
Oregon on which he visited eight
rhmters of the order in that section
of the state. He made official visits I
to the chapters at Enterprise, Baker,
Ontario, Heppner, Union, La Grande,
Hermiston and Pendleton. Dr. Bil
yeu expects to visit the chapter in
southern Oregon next month.
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.

Hippodrome.
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.

T-VOWN to the bottom of the sea.
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."
