J. Le Page, . mother of the songstress. Is the grand regent of the Daughters of Isabella for the state of Washing ton. Afiss Le Page's voice is of excep tional range, her tones reaching from B below middle G to high r. Her notes, say critics, are as true and sweet as those of a violin. In her Orpheum programme she sings an aria from "Madame Butterfly." "Sunshine of Tour Soul." a ballad; "Amarella," a Spanish waltz song and "Annie Laurie." Miss Le Page began her Orpheum tour at Calgary two weeks ago. Reviewers there extolled her act highly and she was equally successful in Seattle last Week. Percy Bronson and Winnie Baldwin will entertain with "A 1916 Songology." a melange of singing, dancing and pat ter enlivened by several rapid changes of costume. An act of especial interest in Port land is "The Lollard," a comedy sketch presented by Harriet Marlotte and Company, of which Miss Marguerite McNulty, a Portland girl, is a mem ber. "The Lollard" was written by lidgar Allen Woolf and is a farce that k moves with lightning rapidity.
