CAST BY LEONE CASS BAER. Mr. and Mrs. Howard's two boy, TVillie and Eugene, completely sur rounded by a spectacular sumptuous ness, is "The Passing Show of 1921," which opened last night at the Heillg. This Schubert carnival has an al lure of feminine beauty in its chorus girls, agile, capering, gorgeous scen ery and costumes and the two How ards. Each is a veritable three-ringed circus, Willie the hoodlum and Eu gene the dignified, they are clowns, ringmasters and ballyhoo and every thing. That they have a group of clever entertainers around them in no way dims their glory. They wrote their own act, they make up the lines and the business and sing whatever song they pick with a persuasive quality and an interpretation the au thor never thought of. Plot Is Patchwork. The rest of the show is put to gether like a patchwork quilt, and la lot of celebrities had their fingers! in the pie. For instance, the pro- gramme says: ."Music by Jean Schwarz; incidental music by Al Goodman and additional music by Lew Pollock." It names the art director and1 tb& scenic director and the stage direc tor, it names the orchestra director and mentions that Harold Atteridg wrote the dialogue and lyrics, btrt all this relates to the rest of the show, that part not occupied by' the How ards. When you come aVay from the theater the part you've forgotten is that part that it took several lozen composers and directors and authors to fix up, and the part you remember is what Willie -and. Eugene made tip between them. They received - an ovation on their first entrance as travelers on the, Sahara, trailing in the wake of a reeling cam'el, and all through the Show they were recalled over and over until they 'must have heen weary, w'th bowirig and smiling and singing and carrying on. ( This "Passing Show" is a series of incidents, vaudeville specialties and travesties on New York plays, neatly strung together with songs and dances and with such occasional ex hilaration as the Howard brothers impart. These periods fully make up for the more frequently less exciting ones. Willie does a series of impersona- j tions in song and chatter that af ford him comedy opportunities, and he sings his famous "Bcky Prom Babylon." He proved his adeptness in comic characterization when he be came a hired assassin in a court room scene in "Mecca" and acteB un der the belief that he had been, made invisible by having a magic powder blown on him by his- confederate, Eugene. ,: In another moment both the come dians gave with admirable finish a fine appreciation of the comedy in the situations, a study called "Chinese Mecca," with Willie as Sing High and Eugene in the role of Sing Low. New Pose Undertaken. Again they posed as philanderers in a restaurant', where the brave Willie ran amuck of an Amazonian with whom he had engaged in flirtation under the impression, he said, that she was his cousin Esther. One of the really excellent bits of characteriaztion was Willie's study of Frank Bacon in "Lightnin.' " In in tonation of voice and in make-up he was a faithful counterpart to the lovable old "Lightnin." They have one new song, something about a moon, and Eugene did his de lightful steel guitar imitation in the chorus. They sang "Yoo Hoo" with a yodeling effect and later appeared with that splendid comedienne. May Boley and Ina Haywood, to sing a bit of grand opera. Eugene and the sta tuesque Ina were in earnest and sang nice big notes, while "Willie, all done up in a misfit costume, screeched and waiied along with Miss Boley, who cleverly travestied the airs of prima donna. Miss Boley was one of the high lights of comedy and so was Will Philbrick. Bnrlrsqne la Succes. In the burlesque of "The Bat" these two were delightful. The most ar tistic moments of the whole show are the dances of an exquisitely slim and graceful girl, Peggy, with her hand some young partner, Cortez, a sort of Rodolph Valentino type. These two lance perfectly a series of hauntingly fascinating dances, and were loudly acclaimed by the delighted audience. There are hosts of other dancers, and it may be truthfully said, that there isn't a singing voice worth 10 cents in the entire collection, outside the two Howards, who both can sing. There are lots of girls, in all the glory and freshness of extreme youth, drapei and undraped. There are two acts. Act one has 13 scenes, rich and glowing and gay and colorful. Act two has nine scenes, equally rich and colorful and artistic. "The Passing Show" is passing good. IRANK W. ROBINSON, traffic man ager of the O.-W. R. & N. here for a number of years?

Freak Legislation Mainly Respon sible for Business Collapse, Soys Ray Andrews. Labor has failed dismally in, its at empts to govern the states of Queuns- and and New South Wales, Australia according to Ray Andrews, manager of. the Ellison-White lyceum bureau m the antipodes, who returnd to Portland yesterday after a year's so lourn in Australia. It had control of the two etates lor years, but Its g6vernment has served only to bring chaos and ruin, in the opinion of Mr. Andrews. Queensland and New South Wales ar the two richest states in Australia, yet so calamitous has been the rule by labor officials that the industries In those colonies Verge ton collapse. Labor came into control some years ago, said Mr. Andrews, "and then tried all sorts of freak legisla tion, sometimes called advance legis lation. The government took over the railroads, the telegraph companies, the telephone companies; it established meat pools, butter pools, wheat pools; it even went so far aa to take over the retail meat and fish business to a great extent. Big; Industries Suffer. "Yet it never made a financial sue. cees in any one of these under takings. Labor has been in control of New South Wales for 12 years. Within the past year all the big mines, the one great steel plant, the one great ship building plant and many other indus tries closed down because of the in terference of the government, push ing wages np and up until business exploded. Last month the labor government was overthrown in New South Wales, and the residents are looking forward to a period of prosperity under oon servative rule. The elections in Queensland take place in July and it is practically sure that the labor gov ernment will be overthrown there." Mr. Andrews quoted the state in come tax on an income of 500 pounds in the states of Queensland and New South Wales, ruled by the labor ele ment, and Victoria, ruled by' conserva tives, as illustrating general condi tions in, tne three colonies. In Queens land the ta is f20, in New South Wales f 30, and in Victoria 16'. Unfit Leaders Picked. The reason for the failure of labor government, Mr. Andrews said, lay in the unfortunate selection of leaders, Those in power have tried to create too many state jobs; they have inter fered too much in private business and they have not used sound busi ness methods in their control of af fairs, v A few unscrupulous politicians, he said, gained great power and used that power to exploit the state and the people. "There is no question that a great new day is coming for Australia, .with labor-out of control," he de clared. "The country has been crip pled industrially, but with its great natural resources it will undoubtedly recover." LI GLASS IS GRADUATED 22 RECEIVE DIPLOMAS - AT COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
