DOTS pretty foot ana ankle Insure
a pretty face? There 1 n old say
ing that one of these charms Is In
variably accompanied by the other, and
the adage Is certainly quite applicable In
the case of the sextet of "Cab Girls" with
the musical winner. 'Little Johnny
Jones."
The six girls represent American girls
trying to reform the Chinese, snd assist
In slning the song "Op In Me Ansome."
During the Summer run of the show at
t! Illinois Theater. Oilcago. there was
much dlscuyslon as to which girl pos-osfc-.l
the the prettiest foot and ankle,
and the management decided to hold a
competition to settle the matter. Slips
with a photographed reproduction of the
cab number were printed and supplied to
each seat purchaned. A ballot box was
placed In the foyer to receive the votes.
The contest was continued for two weeks,
and the rivalry between the partisans of
the various fair contestants became ex
ceedingly keen.
When the votes were counted Miss Ella
Vslentme was found to have a lead of7o2
votes over her nearest competitor. Miss
Bessie Gross. Not only did the voters
deposit their ballots, but the manager of
the theater was deluged with letters
sliowing why the choice of the writer
should be awarded the chief honor of the
contest.
The Interest In the contest extended to
J-ondon. whence came a letter from an
admirer of Miss Valentine. There was an
enclosure of a postoflice order for "two-and-eixpenoe"
for a voting card In favor
of the girl with a "No. 1" marked be
neath her enclosed picture. With the
letter addressed to th manager was en
closed one addressed to "Miss No. 1."

Celebrated Violinist and 'Cellist Will Appear in Concert at Heilig Theater
on Thanksgiving Eve. POWELI CONCERT. IS PRAISED
THB artfstio combination headed by
Maud Powell to make Its appear
ance in concert at the Heilig The
ater Thanksgiving eve. November 36. In
cludes not only Madame Powell, who Is
hailed as the finest violinist this country
has so far produced, but May Mukle, the
celebrated cellist, and Anne Ford, a tal
ented accompanist and piano soloist. No
such trio of artists has been heard on
the American concert platform, appear
ing at one time, since the days of the
Krekiler-Gerardy-Hoftmann combination.
It is safe to predict that the Heilig will
be well attended on the occasion of the
Powell-Mukle-Ford recital. and that
these distinguished artists will divide
honors only with the high-class pro
gramme they will ofTer. This interest
ing musical event, one of the leaders in
the season attractions, will fittingly
usher in the spirit of Thanksgiving day.
Maud Powell, violinist, was born in
Peru. III. Her father was Welsh and his
knowledge of music was limited to sing
ing hymn tunes In sections as they were
"lined out" In the old style from the pul
piU" His daughter, however, was gifted
with rare musical instinct, and she began
taking violin lessons when she was 8
years old, her first teacher toeing William
Ijewls. of Chicago. The girl's musical
progress was rapid, and when she re
turned from Europe she made her pre
liminary debut a violin soloist at one of
Theodore Thomas' Summer concerts, and
made a ereat hit. She is a Joachim pu
pil, and for years mha has been an Inter
national favorite.
May Mukle has also wton international
renown as a great artist, and she may be
said to have created a new field for the
'ueUo as a solo Instrument. Her 'cello
tone Is described, as marvelous. It was
only last January that this great 'cellist
came to the United States, on the per
sonal Invitation of Maud Powell, and is
stated to have created a real sensation

playing, n

Mrs. W. E. Thomas Hears Famous
Player In East.

In a private letter lately received from
Mrs. W. E. Thomas from New Tork,
mention Is made of several people of In
terest to Portlanders. Mrs. Thomas says:
"In Philadelphia I saw Amelia Gardner
in "The Witching Hour," a fine play. I
had a nice visit with her after the play
and found her as charming as in the old
Neill-Morosco days-not a bit spoiled by
her success. She still has that same fas
cinating . smile. Although I've been In
New York but a short time, I've seen
many of the old friends, including Miss
Bauer, Mrs. Raymond Brown and Shanna
Camming, who, by the way, is soon going
West.
Then I had the great pleasure of hear
ing the New Tork debut of the Maud
Powell Trio. Aside from the splendid
work these three artists did, I enjoyed
eeing Miss Powell's triumph. It was a
new experience to see an Instrumentalist

shaking his head, that she would not play

myself known to her. .,.

and have heard all about her Western

do hope her tour will be a big success,
and that Portland especially will not miss
her opportunity."

General Murray Wants Artillery
Force Greatly Increased.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. Numerous
recommendations for the improvement
of the Coast artillery are made in the
annual report of Brigadier-General
Arthur Murray, chief of that branch of
the United States Army.
General Murray recommends that the
Coast artillery be organized for com
mand and administration as a separate
territorial division of the Army; that
It be Increased by throe Brigadier
Generals of Coast artillery, to command
as many territorial departments; that
the chief of Coast artillery be made
a Major-General, and that all annual
estimates and all accounts ana ex
penses be kept separate from those of
the mobile Army.
An urgent appeal is made for an
Increase for the corps of cadets at West
Point by authorizing additional cadets
for each Senator and for appointment
by the President, In order that the de
mand for officers for the artillery may
be met. To furnish one-half of the
personnel required for one complete
manning detail for the guns provided
In the United States," the full number
for the guns and mines, provided for
the insular possessions, will require
1170 officers and 26,392 enlisted men.
For the formation of militia Coast ar
tillery reserves. General Murray states
there will be required 2238 officers and
53,110 men, to provide one manning
detail for all the Coast defenses: con
structed and proposed in the United
States, the insular possessions and the
entrances to. the Panama Canal.
The defenses of Manila Bay. Pearl
Harbor and Honolulu, General Murray
says. Involve strategical conditions of
the highest order, and he lays special
stress upon the Importance of early at
