BEAUTIFUL WOMEN TO APPEAR IN
BENEFIT SHOW SOON TO BE GIVEN
Entertainment to Swell Auditorium Fund Will Have Many Novel Features, According to Its Promoters, and Is'
Expected to Draw Heavy Patronage.
' GORGEOUS display of Portland
feminine beauty will be one of
the bis features in the American
Beauty Show, which will be given at
th Bungalow Theater two nights, next
Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21,
for the benefit of the Portland audi
torium fund, in which the women's
clubs of the city are much Interested.
The event will be largely attended by
local society. The performance, which
lias been In rehearsal for the past two
months, promises to be one of the
cleverest local affairs of its kind ever
lven In the city, with about a hundred
ilandsome girls and women taking part.
The performance will open with a
errand ensemble, which will Introduce
3 6 American beauties who will appear
In beautiful gowns and picture hats of
the latest creation. When the aug
mented orchestra strikes up, these
women will enter, one at a time, and
greet the hostess, who will be the lady
of ceremony. Then will come scores
of debutantes in party dresses, fol
lowed by the Irvington girls in danc
ing costumes, and the last to enter
will be the dusky belles, arrayed In
finery, jewelry and striking colors.
Infi programme Is composed of several
fine musical selections. In which some
of Portland's best singers will ap
pear to advantage, including Mrs. Fred
Olson, Miss Maude Dammasch, Miss Zita
Hollister. Mrs. Charles P. Blliott and
others. The comedy of the show will
be supplied by a sextet of comediennes,
who will impersonate the following
well-known characters: Anna Held,
Fritzie Scheff, Olga Nethersole, Florence
Roberts, Mrs. Leslie Carter'and Izetta
Jewel. Mrs. Nina La Rowe, who will
be seen as Fritzie Scheft, will do a
lunt that is expected to bring down
the house. Another scene which will
produce merriment is part of an. act
from "Camille." in which Florence
Roberts will play the character. There
will be songs, jests and dances, all
new and catchy.
In the second part of the American
Beauty Show some well-known people
will appear, including Louise Brandt,
of tile old Columbia Theater Stock
f'nmpany, who will make her first ap
pearanre In a special act In which she
will be supported by local players.
Others who will be on the programme
re W. A. Caughlfn in his clever im
personations; Miss Essie Block, pianist;
George K. Evans, baritone; a special
tambourine dance by 16 Irvington girls,
and a violin solo by Miss Roxlna
Vommelsdorf.
These performances are being given
under the auspices of the Monday
Musical Club and the Daughters of the
Confederacy. The members of these
organizations are working to make the
American Beauty show a huge success
tnd from present indications the de
mand for seats will tax the theater's
capacity for the two performances.

to criticise, anyway, except that Dam
rosch was economical of encores.
"It seemed a perfect concert to me, and
it seemed so to the others who eat at
heaven's gates for an hour or so, if ono
may judge by their rapturous attention
and awed and hushed demeanor.
"How could one maintain an air of
owlish wisdom when that big orchestra,
sitting under the fairy-like lights, strung
magically across the great Greek stage,
played the 'Lohengrin' prelude, or how,
I would like to ask, could anybody let bis
soul flit with the two crooking ravens out
of "Gotterdammerung," when the dy
namic splendor of the . 'Holy Grail'
theme sighed itself Into silence?
"When the violins and the flutes com
pleted that prelude and a hushed multi
tude scarcely breathed for the beauty of
it I wanted to sell a critic's job cheap.
It seemed sinful."
The-same Wagner programme which
has just received such an ovation at
Berkeley will be given in Portland at the
Armory Wednesday night of this week
under the management of Lois Steers
Wynn Coman. There will be selections
from "Tannhauser," "Lohengrin,"
"Rienzl," "Meistersinger," "Parsifal,"
"Tristan and Isolde" and "Walkure." No
less than five soloists will contribute to
the programme a rich feast. Indeed.
On Wednesday afternoon the orchestra
will give a general programme, the main
feature being . Dvorak's symphony from
"The New World," in which he aims to
express the American spirit. Another
noteworthy number on this programme
will be Tschaikowsky's "Nutcracker"
suite, with its series of national dances,
of such entrancing interest. Other com
posers will be Schubert, Schumann, Men
delssohn, Gounod and Goldmark. There
will be two soloists on the afternoon programme.
Mayor Favors City Speculation.
MILWAUKEE. May 14. Mayor Seldel
has evolved a plan which he believes
not only will increase the prestige of
Milwaukee as a manufacturing city
but will bring many dollars to the
municipal treasury. He would have the
city go into the real estate business
and handle manufacturing sites as well
as residence property. The Mayor pro
poses that the city buy land at low
prices, plat It In accordance with his
plans for Increasing railroad sidetrack
facilities, and re-sell it for factory
sites at a comfortable maririn of profit.
SKVAO V VAN DER VEER, CONTRALTO WITH DAMROSCH ORCHESTRA.
WALTER DAMROSCH and his or
chestra seem to lay a fairy
spell of enchantment upon an
audience, which holds It breathless and
fascinated to the close of the programme,
according to reports that are coming
from California Jnst now. Last Saturday
a. week ago the orchestra played to a
brilliant audience of C0O0 people at the
Greek Theater, University of California,
and carried it by storm. . It was -a- Wag
ner programme, and the critic of the San
Francisco Call says:
"Labored criticism would be nothing
less than revolting just now. It would
suggest the story of the' chronic kicker
who, on entering the gates of paradise
and being outfitted with celestial, rai
ment, complained that his halo didn't fit-
