ONB of the most brillint pageants of
Boss Festival weok will be the horBe
and vehicle parade on June 10. H. C.
Campbell, the well-known horseman and
etock-breedor. will be the grand marshal.
The Portland Hunt Club ts taking an
active part In the preparations for this
bin spectacular event, and W. M. Davis,
of the Hunt Club, has the pageant ar
rangements In charge, assisted by Paul
. rick, A. M. Crontn, F. O. Downing and
F W. Leadhetter, tho committee selected
to superintend the horse and carriage
parade.
Hundreds of vehicles, literally covered
with roses and other flowers, and drawn
by garlanded horses, will compete for the
attractive prizes offered for the best dis
play, and 11 the Hunt Club's classy
mounts, gaily decked with ribbons and
flowers and ridden by smartly-costumed
men and women, together with scores of
other horses entered by individual owners,
will make the horse and vehicle proces
sion one of the most brilliant street pa
rades ever seen In the Northwest. Fifty
members of the Hunt Club will appear
in regulation English scarlet riding coats.
These coats will be here some time this
week, ' having been ordered from New
York.
One of the early decisions of the com
mittee wws that no horse or vehicle dec
orated with arttncial flowers should be
allowed to compete for prizes. At last
year's festival some of the entries 'were
decorated largely with artificial blossoms,
and to discourage this the committee an
nounces that, while artificially decorated
entries will not be barred from partici
pating In the parade they will not be
allowed to compete for the prizes.
Decorations That Count.
Another point the committee particu
larly wishes to have emphasized. Is that

w'ishea it known, will be at no disad
vantage as compared with the most aris
tocratic single-stepper or blue-blooded
product of the racing stables. It will
be the decorative effect that will count,
and all owners of horses are invited to
dress up their animals and enter them
in the contest.
Application blanks can be had. by those
who desire to enter horses or vehicles
in this parade, from Ambrose Cronin, at
129 First street, and those Intending to
make entries are requested to make ap
plication as soon as possible, so that the
committee In charge will be able to place
the entries to the best advantage.
Xo Advertising Allowed.
Any decorations of an advertising na
ture will be barred from the contest, ex
cept the same be completely in flowers.
Of great interest to all lovers of horse
flesh, and a brilliant feature of the Rose
Festival itself, will be the Spring meet
of the Portland Hunt Club at the Coun
try Club grounds, on June 12. The flower
decked chariots which will be seen in the
horse and vehicle parade,' will be used at
the Country Club meet. In real chariot
races, and many other novel and pic
turesque features are scheduled for the
meet programme, among them a game
of polo by the military officers from van
couver, -who will bring over their polo
ponies.
Fine Show Horses Coming.
One of the notable features of the pa
rade will be the appearance of the beau
tiful show-ring hor.s'ca of the Considine
stables, never seen in street pageant be
fore, and a gorgeous spectacle called
"The Spoils of "War." which is to be
under the management of Izetta Jewel,
leading woman of the Baker Stock Com
pany, whose beautifully designed auto
mobile carried off the honors last year.
Then there will be the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc
Exposition entry of - grotesque
totem poles, one of the most novel fea
tures ever entered In any Btreet parade.
Arrangements have now been completed
by the Festival management and the
A-Y-P Exposition management for
bringing these magnificent poles to Port
land for this parade.
The Oriental portion of Portland will
be represented In this parade with a
novel and spectacular' feature, a monster
Chinese dragon with a section of Chi
nese pagodas. The Japanese representa
tion Is in preparation, but the plans of
the little brown men are being kept
secret, and the nature of their feature
will not be known until the parade is
under way.
Marching in the parade will be 700 ca
dets from the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege at Corvallis, now drilling for their
part In the programme at Seattle during
the opening week of the approaching
A-Y-P fair.
Astonishing Rise and Great Vogue of Vaudeville
Once in Portland There Was Only Cordray's Musee But Now There Are Four Big Houses and
Many Little Ones Here Is the Story of the Methods and Manners of the
Variety Artists and of a Great Business Organization.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
TWENTY years ago vaudeville was a
stranger amusement In Portland,
and today there axe four big houses,
all on first-class circuits, catering to
patrons of this form of amusement, with
an average weekly attendance of 25.000
people.
The vaudeville of today is the out
growth of the variety show of a score
ft years ago, which In turn sprung from
the olio of the old-time minstrels and
the dime museum, both of which, glory
tie, went out of vogue and are fortunately
mostly unread epitaphs now.
The dime museums a real r-e-flned
form of this art, was originated by Kohl
& Mlddleton, enterprising gents, who
scattered these alluring joy producers in
various parts of the effete East. Each
museum was divided Into three floors of
curiosities to gaze upon In return for a
measly 10-cent piece. The top floor was
always given over to Inanimate stuff,
mechanical toys, wax figures, achieve
ments of the taxidermist, sometimes
wonderfully and fearfully made, together
with all sorts of curiosities, from potri
tlcd toads to the famed auk's egg. The
second floor was even more diverting,
with its replica of the modem side show,
that den of shivers, where shone resplen
ent the doubtful glories of the emaciated
gent, the lady of avoirdupois, the wild
man from Borneo (who probably never
heard of the plnce. the spangled damsel
with a penchant for garter snakes, the
ossified man. the disciple of Samson, and
that succulent sugar plum of delights, a
Punch and Judy show.
On the last, or ground floor of the
museum, was the theatorlum. with its
song and dance acts, performing animals
and birds, horizontal bar stunts, rifle
shooting, Irish comedian and juggling
acts.
The first museum in Portland was
called "Cordray's Musee and Theater."
and consisted of a large tent, located at
the southeast corner of Third and Yam
hill streets. The entrance was made by
way of the museum proper, which seated
10P0 people. It was filled with a hetero
geneous collection of everything under
the sun. chief among which were the op
tical Illusions, wax figures, happy fam
ily of monkeys In a cage, cosmorama
views and the Inevitable Punch and
Judy. The admission price to the
"musea" was 10 cents. The vaudeville
tent seated 1200 people, and taxed one
all the way from a dime to four bits
according to where one sat.
Before the opening of the musee, Mr.
Cordray had taken his stand, step by
step, for a clean vaudeville bill, and a
certain standard to be maintained in the
work. Prior -to this, ' the variety show
at Its beginning was coarse and vulgar,
catering always to a "stag" audience,
and never- minding the weather. Beatrice
Fainax. or Edward Bok. The "joints"
and "music halls" where variety shows
were produced were largely entertain
ments of decidedly low order, and the
Initiatory step in the reformation of the
show was to eliminate objectionable lines,
dialogue, songs and dances from the
bills, before they were introduced to
mixed audiences. It is to be regretted
that Salome dancers and some of the
alleged monologists couldn't have been
present when the evil began to be wiped
out. ' -
The change was even more radical than
Mayor Line's purification stunt in the
Nor End. It took hard and conscien
tious work to overcome the prejudice to
ward vaudeville.
Ten years, yes. or even five years ago,
when a woman felt she had a tempera
mental nature and must do something
"outre," she went for 15 minutes to a
vaudeville show. Next day. with bated
breath and in her stage whispers, she
related to her friends her wonderful ex
perience. It is vastly different now. Vaudeville
has ceased to be. as it was once consid
ered, an abortive form of the drama,
and has become thoroughly and abso
lutely respectable, in fact more respecta
ble than Its half sister, the comic opera,
and cleaner by far than the average
problem plays or dirty, sensual novels
of today.
Having used the musee sufficiently long
as a bait for the unwary who now had
acquired the vaudeville habit, said musee
was eliminated from the general scheme
of things and the vaudeville theater was
coclc-of-the-walk and with the excep
tion of a few years when It died but in
Portland, this popular form of amuse
ment has been building and bettering
itself, in every way, since.
Long ago, when the festive Greek dra
matists, or the long-winded Sanskrit
(which no one understands and a few
pretend' to), or the exquisitely conven
tionalized Japanese or Javanese were as
yet not patented, nor preferred stock, it
Is highly probable that there were bands
of vaudeville artists going about the
country, doing stunts of their own manu
facture and deriving, as well as giving,
the joys that Inevitably swoop down and
engulf the average person for original
and voluntary work. And in-the real ex
citing and palmy days of Roman comedy
and Greek tragedy, tllre existed, of
course, variety shows of some sort, all
over Rome and Athens, where any of
those Roman devotees of the simple life
(whose tastes In dress -ran to togas, a
shoulder drape and sandals), could dis
sipate to their heart's content for one
half the money that the regular theaters
held them up for.
While the actors in the theaters, with
large-sized private grouches and open
wretchedness, whpm Euripides and Ter
ence, those giddy old press agents and
managers, bad cast for their parts, were
going through roles which they would
never have chosen for themselves, these
aforementioned wilding heirs of art of
vaudeville pure and primitive, and all
the pleasures, transitory and otherwise,
that go with it. were giving playlets of
their own imagination, which they had
worked up from some vague inspiration
into a sketch of artistic effect. No man
ager had foisted upon this bunch his
own individual ideals of "wuat the peo
ple wanted." no one had molded or in
fluenced their performance, according to
his personal notion of histrionics and
Ideas regarding box-office receipts.
The word vaudeville was in its original-package
form, "val de vlre." and
meant valley of vlre, a drinking song,
merely of more or less licentious char
acter. Which derived Its name from the
dwelling-place of its composer, Oliver

Vaselin. who lived at the beginning of
the 14th century.
Later the word vaux, an old French
form, of val, was substituted, and the
booze ditty was then styled vaux de
ville, and later changes brought , our
modern term vaudeville. If you are
near-rich or real literary, you are al
lowed to say vodevllle. People who
have mastered "tomattoes" and "sirrup"
and "menoo" and "vaws" will find no
difficulty In acquiring the consciously
unconscious method" of saying "vode
vllle." . .
In the meantime- with .the changing
of its form, the character of the term
had also been bettered and had be
come political and satirical, in nature.
It attained a significant innovation at
the end of the reign of Louis IV. whom
most of us know as the fellow we owe
a grudge for promulgating the fashion
of spider-legged chairs and divans and
abortive designs In wall paper.
At this time the song was introduced
at what was known as "theatre de la
foire," the theater of the fair; that is
to say, the theater, held at fairs, of
which Le Sage, the celebrated ro
mancer and dramatist, said: "It was
characterized by vaudeville, a kind of
poesy peculiar to the French, esteemed
by strangers and most suitable to pro
duce sprightliness, put forth ridicule
and correct customs."
Note, gentle reader, how closely this
description of 300 years ago applies to
our own vaudeville 6f today.
The stunts then were a curious mix
ture' of the old improvised Italian com
edy, "with its coarse jests, buffoonery
and ribald song. It was characteris
tic of vaudeville that it had but one
act. Some person, peering down the
dim vista of the future, discovered that
this form of show was going to be as
necessary as pie and the divorce fash
Ion for eons and eons, and so the
scenes began to be shortened, and the
dialogues quick and full of quips, a
foresight that I wish were observed by
some teams of modern days.
In this way, my child, vaudeville de
veloped into little one-act plays, these
in turn developing into diverse "gen
res." the two principal ones of which
were the anecdotal vaudeville and the
parodying vaudeville. The stiffening of
vaudeville into almost-drama form is
accredited to Augustus Scribe a comic
French dramatist who cashed In his
checks in 1861, and whose clever por
trayals of characteristics and foibles
of the French middle class has come
down to us in the form of light operas
and vaudeville sketches. Then, after
Gussle's efforts, it suffered a degener
acy, finally gaining a cheap signifi
cance, and is now coming back to its
own.
In a great many Instances vaudeville
has of late assumed the functions and
proclivities of the legitimate drama.
In direct evidence of these develop
ments in vaudeville proper the New
York Hippodrome has grown to be the
most mammoth entertainment of its
sort on the terrestrial- globe. It is
unique in itself, offeringnot so much a
gigantic show as a theatrical perform
ance of Inconceivable magnitude. (I
guess those big words will .hold you for
a while, Herbert.) ,
Some one at one time remarked that
"man's pleasures are fleeting." If this
is true, his capacity for pleasure is
equally brief. All his needs in this line
may be administered unto by vaude
ville. .
Modern plays bash life into various lit
tle problems, pleasant or morbid, as they
choose, and then, inform us they are
human, and dealing with life. Drama,
either ancient or modern, is a fly in the
ointment of the righteous, and a supposed
source of strange delight to the cultured
and real r-e-fined or "HtVy."
Musical comedies are In nearly every
case punk art. with an accent on the
punk, consisting as they do of a lot of
nondescript songs, often minus tone or
words, gorgeously vulgar settings, a plot
warranted not to tax the fancy of any
Imbecile, and set forth with conscious,
absorbing and calculated .recklessness.
But our old pal. vaudeville, mav be de
fended on broadly humane grounds. Its
very, age, and honesty, proclaim its vir
tue as a clean form of amusement. It Is
neither critical, with dissertations on
how things should be clone, in this gray,
old, sordid world, nor is it garrulous and
given to the relation of narratives. Pri
marily of imporance, it imparls neither
bad sociology nor absurd morals.
...
A number of investigated facts may be
of Interest In connection with, this mono
logue. The Idea seems to be generally
prevalent that all the actors and actorlnes
in the stage world, and exponents of
vaudeville in particular, have signed,
sealed and delivered themselves to the
devil for all time, and that when they
are not engaged In their nefarious art,
their time is spent In wreckirg homes,
divorce-breeding and wholesale depravity.
Nothing is farther from the truth. We
only hear of their shortcomings because
they are public property,' and there is
just as much general cussedness in one
walk of life as in another. We, of a
protected, home-spent life, are too prone
to judge. If you, Mrs. Sharptongue, were
suddenly to become am public automaton,
or you, Mr. Preacher, go wrong, or you,
Mr. Bank President, loot the cash box,
we would all hear quite enough gossip
and personalities about you to detain us
for awhile.
Actors and John D. Rockefeller are the
only microbes under the sun whose every
action, or thought Is proclaimed at once
and made public property, while Council
men, legislators and the city health
board, to say1 nothing of private individ
uals whose characters smell to high
heaven, are left in stagnated placidity,
while the public looks on and whispers
back of its hand of something it knows
little about.
A' great percentage of vaudeville per
formers own their own homes, and many
of them are worth anywhere from $10,000
to $500,000. Some of the most successful
proprietors of hotels and boarding-houses
are retired vaudeville performers. For
financial reasons alone many people de
sert the ranks of musical comedy, the
drama and the legitimate stage to get
into vaudeville. And when it comes
right down to this beggarly question of
legitimacy, vaudeville, or comic variety
performance, is the older and much more
authentic of histrionic art.
The salaries of performers are much
higher than the layman thinks. The
cheapest act on a bill often brings $150 a
week, and the average salary for a good
act is $250 a week. Some of the best-paid
performances bring aa high as $1200 and
$1600 a week, and there are eeveral peo
ple on the vaudeville stage who receive
j $2600 weekly salary. Most of these per-
l ..1, with Yit Wan, Vnrt
manager of the circuit.
This article is in no sense to be -regarded
as directions for some Agnes -or
Lizzie, with large-sized aspirations to don
abbreviated skirts, a Laura Jean Libbey
name, and perpetrate "Arrawanna" on
the vaudeville stage, and the facts herein
recorded are simply that he or she who

ETHEL ROOSEVELT BECOMES PROMIVENT FIGIBE IK NEW
YORK SOCIETY.
NEW YORK, May 7. (Special.) Ethel Roosevelt has become a
familiar figure in New York society since her father left Washington.
She is living in Oyster Bay with her mother, but spends much of her
time in New York. This snapshot was ' made in front of the Colbny
Club as she was going for a run of the Ladies' Four-in-Hand Club this .
week. The ladies with her are Miss Osborn (on Miss Roosevelt's right
hand) and her sister. Mrs. Ralph Sanger (on Miss Roosevelt's left hand
or at the right side of the picture).
York he agrees ' to pay the circuit 5 per
cent of his weekly salary. The actor does,
this not the manager. If, however, the
booking Is made through an exclusive
agent, or appointed manager, .then the
actorine pays both the agent .and the cir
cuit each S per cent, which, of course,
deducts a nice fat .10 per cent off his
weekly pay rolt. As vl' said, however,
most of them make their bookings direct
ly out of New York, where is also main
tained a manager who goes abroad sev
eral times each year to sign up foreign
acts.
No branch of the show business is so
well organized, and the bookings are so
systematized, that should a performer be
unable to fulfill his or her engagement,
the management In no way loses.
The New York manager books, on an
average, 600 acts a week, for 62 weeks in
the year, and each -has to be a well-balanced
programme. For -the latter reason
some acts receive transportation expenses,
since oftentimes they are shifted sud
denly and with little ceremony from one
place to another to help make a smooth
programme. A manager's aim along this
line is greatly like a menu. John Henry
likes a little soup, a relish, some salad,
an entree and lots of pie. but by heck, ne
won't sit down seven days in the week to
just pie and dill pickles. Its the same
way in vaudeville, and the manager of
the circuit aims always to have a hit and
miss bill. Sometimes he hits it and some
times he misses It. Seven or eight acts
are allotted to each house manager, and
it is his duty to get the required number
of performances out of the system of
each performer, and fire, him ' on to his
next destination in time to be present
at roll call for the first performance.
In the United States, the resident man
ager is supposed to judge his show, and
get a line on his acts on Monday. The
Etnglish people are just one chip ahead in
this respect, since the managers there
make their reports on Friday. A Mon y
audience is the coldest proposition out
side of the Arctic Zone. They simply sit
back in their near-plush covered seats and
defy you to even make 'em smile. It is
positively funereal.
Did you ever stop to consider the dis
advantage the vaudeville performers
themselves undergo at a Monday matinee?
They have had their first and only re
hearsal for a few brief minutes In the
morning, some of them have just ar
rived in town, nearly all have spent the
(previous night or day traveling, the sing
ers are trying their voices under changed,
climatic conditions, the sceneshlfters are
the powers that be and noise-. is para
mount, the orchestra is trying over many
unfamiliar selections or old numbers with
new markings and cues on acts they
never saw, and after this nerve-racking
and curse-producing short morning re
hearsal the matinee in the afternoon of
the same day is judged and" reported on.
If weighed in the balance and found
wanting, every other person will growl,
"Rotten!" when you ask him that old-as-Ann
query, "How's the vud this week?"
Fortunately, hov-ver, for t--.e poor man
agers and circuit, the public will come
more quickly to see how bad an act is
than they are willing to see how good it
is. In vaudeville.
-
An actors room is his home for nine
months of the year, and at its best the
stage is only a workshop. In selecting
their rooming-house or boarding-place,
these people do as you or I do find the
place that suits the pocketbook.
A great many of 'the foreign perform
ers carry their bedding and cooking uten
sils with them and rent housekeeping
apartments during their week's stay in
each town. This is because they are
sadly at a disadvantage in making them
selves understood in restaurants. Many
troupes of five or seven members manage
to live very cheaply in this manner. On
the other hand, many performers run
up enormous bills at the best hotels.
A great many acts carry their own
scenery and stage accoutrements: the
theaters furnish everything else. Includ
ing the orchestra and all advertising.
Most of the teams playing In vaudeville
are husband and wife. Look at Mrs.
Prim sit back and say, "Way, I didn't
know that." There are a great many
people in the same boat with Mrs. Prim.
When a woman makes good on the
stage, or in literary work, or even near
literary lines, or as a musician, either
singfst or playist, she Is going to hang
on to the name she worked and gained
her recognition under. If her name say,
happens to be Jones and she leaps
into prominence as Jones, she will stay
Jones till the end of the chapter. Some
real conscientious women hyphenate their
husband's name rn to their own, but its
a poor stick of a man who will stand for
such an agreement.
This Miss Jones may wed Mr. Brown,
also famous. and they will work in
tandem as Jones and Brown. Very sel
dom do they style it Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
Of course, that's real r-e-fined, but it
don't make a hit in vaudeville.
For some unexplainable reasonT the
handle of "Mrs." is a veritable hoodoo
in this line of amusement, and so it Is
usually not in evidence on the pro
gramme. The writing of playlets and sketches for
performers affords lucrative occupation
for many authors. Managers and actors
are constantly on the lookout for new
stuff with good lines. After a play has
been written, it is taken to a competent
manager, who passes judgment on its
merits; next it is tried out by performers
and if found good, it is promptly pur
chased and the author steps up into the
limelight. t If It is rejected, he tries it
somewhere' else.
Thanks to the very stagelife in itself
the playlet is predominant. This is in
all probability induced by the fact that
with the average vaudeville team, being
husband and wife, there comes a time
when their children are grown, and
needs must be incorporated into the act.
Hence a little play is- constructed In
which they all take part. There are no
end of examples of this one tact on the
stage .today.
One finds it well acted and often with
more art In color effects, charm of cos
tume, intelligence and interpretation than
many of the big plays and players afford.
Vaudeville is greatly like the circus.
One likes it for two reasons: One is .that
you never know just what will come next
on the bill affair (joke), and the other is
that you do know what will come next,
and that it will be a fac-slmilc, and most
faithful counterpart of what you saw last
year just as one Fourth of July or one
feather duster is like another.
Of the heart ii.terest stories back of
the footlights, we know little. There are
few Mary McLanes in the cult and thank
heavens they are allowed to keep the key
to the door of their souls. They are only
human, after all. and have their physi
cal and mental ailments and heart aches,
and lose their loved ones even as you
and I. with this difference: We can show
our grief and let loose the
J pent-up woe,, but they must laugh, and
sing, ana uance, crack their pitiful little
jokes and bear our ill-natured and often
times audible displeasure if they fail to
make us shake our sides in hilarity.
