WHEN the curtain' rises on the
"Passing: Show of 1915" Portland
audiences, like all others, will
most likely take Instant fancy to three
popular stars that stand out distinctly
in the large cast. For the Howard
brothers and little Miss Marilynn Mil
ler, the 17-year-old dancer, have" been
"winning- honors and scattering their
popularity from the East to the West.
It is impossible to get separate in
terviews with Willie or Eugene How
ard, playing in "The Passing Show of
1915." According to their own state
ment, they are "one." ''hey are broth
ers, of course, but brotherly love has
been developed until it is impossible
to converse with .Gene without first
getting Willie into the party; and if
..Willie is to be interviewed, you must
first look up Gene.
Eugene and William evkowitz that
Is their correct name ctome from the
East Side of New York City. Their
father was Rabbi Levkowitz, well
known in synagogue circles there. They
learned to sing in their father's choir,
nd when Gene grew big and handsome
enough he ran away and 'joined the
chorus of "The Strollers." In this same
chorus were several who" have since
become famous Isabel D'Armand, Elsie
Ferguson, Bessie Wynn and Mabel Bar
rison. While he was still In grammar school
Willie found a job as a song booster at
Proctor's One Hundred and Twenty-fifth-Street
Theater, working every
afternoon and evening after school.

boy sing, and he was engaged to sing
to Anna Held from the gallery a
phase of theatricals that has long since
disappeared. The song was "Little Mol
lie Shannon." and it was so successful
that Willie was signed up for Wash
ington the next week.
It was the third night of the Wash
ington stand thrt Willie's voice went
floating up to the airy heavens; the
clear, pure notes never responded
again, and the boy was shipped igno
miniously back to the East Side.
"But later we went into vaudeville
as a team, and it was there that we
made our greatest success. But we
like our Winter Gardening much bet
ter than vaudevilling. Our first act
was called 'The Messenger Boy's Trail,'
and Willie played a tough little Hebrew
messenger, said to be the first char
acterization of a young Jew on the
stage. Up to this time the theatrical
Jew was partial to heavy, black beards,
and Willie Is tremendously proud that
he was the first to Introduce the Tid
disher youth."
From Ievkowitz to Howard la a
long step. It came about In this man- dainty, clever Miss Marilynn Miller, and
ner: When Eugene obtained his first so great her popularity, that after she
engagement in a chorus on Broadway is through with the 'Massing Show"
the manager abked his name for the
programme personnel. "Levkowitz," re
plied Gene.
"Levkowitz?" repeated the manager.
"NSx, sonny. Your name's Howard; Eu
gene Howard, isn't it?"
Gene, of course, agreed, and Howard
it was. Willie took the name because
his brother had.
Whenever a Winter Garden musical
show is produced, the author writes It
all out excepting the Howards' lines.
"i'en minutes here for the Howards,"
he says in the manuscript, or "Here
the Howard specialty," and the rest Is
left to them. Their act is distinctively
their own. From town to town they
work in new material or change the
old.
"Improvement is our individual slo
gan," said Willie. "We read a lot and
are always putting things down in our
notebook material for years to come.
Our specialty, of course, is character
study, and we do a lot of real work
getting ready for it. We both know
how to read people pretty well, and we
always have our eyes open.."
Dancer to Be Featured in Comedy.
There is a Mrs. Eugene Howard, who
travels with her husband. She is an
English girl, once one of the "Four
Dainty Dancers," a vaudeville act. Wil
lie is not marrried.
So great has been the success of
she will be featured in a new comedy
that the Shuberts have commissioned
a well-known playwright to prepare for
her. In this her dancing and mimicry
will be given even more opportunity
than In her present attractive role,
Ever since the announcement was made
the tiny comedienne has been the object
of multi-fold congratulations from her
fellow players and "idol-worshipers.'
Miss Miller's career has been a short
butr varied one. She made her debut at
the age of 12 in a vaudeville act with
her parents. Little Miss Miller con
tributed a little fancy dance that won
Instant recognition. .
Impersonation la Developed.
At the age of Uhe had established
herself as an accomplished dancer.
Whenever the Millers appeared on
vaudeville bill little Marilynn seemed
to find a certain amount of delight in
imitating the other players on the bill
Her marvelous ability to impersonate
developed her into a clever mimic, as
she demonstrated in a previous Winter
Garden production
She was discovered by Lee Ehubert
at a benefit performance four yeara
ago, but because of the fact that she
was under legal age he was not able
to present her to the big cities until
last year. Miss Miller Is only 17 years
old and will be the youngest of stage
stars in "The Passing Show
of the other Portland clubs who have
extended invitations to the MacDowell
Club. The "reciprocity day" programme
was in competent hands. Miss Ada
Alice Tuttle read the thrilling "Hexen
lied," by Max Schillings, with musical
setting by Ernest von Wfldenbruch.
Miss Tuttle is absolutely at home at
the piano, with the result that both
voice and piano interpretation are giv
en with the utmost freedom of emo
tional and intellectual scope. The "Hex
enlied" is intensely tragic, and is a
favorite with the famous dramatic
singer. Dr. Ludwig Willmer; also Da
vid Bispham. The work is ao difficult
that It has only been done occasion
ally In this country, and the mastery
of words and music score will tax
the memory of anyone. Miss Tuttle
heard the work given once previously,
when she was a student at Leipsig. On
that occasion "Hexenlied" was pre
sented by the great German actor. Von
Possart, and the NIkisch orchestra ac
companying. Miss Tuttle told the audi
ence Tuesday that she only hoped to
suggest, faintly to suggest, the impres
sion made when the work la given as
was Intended by the composer and the
German poet. She also called attention
to some points of resemblance between
the poem and the "Scarlet Letter." She
mentioned that both medieval monk
and Puritan parson had enjoyed the
highest esteem of their fellows, but
died confessing what had so long been
hidden. She suggested the resemblance
between the young witch and the
Greek maiden, Antigone, of the Sopho
cles drama, both having been done to
death by an unenlightened and distort
ed public conscience. A parallel was
drawn also between the convent prior
and St. Paul, who at first breathed out
threatenings and slaughter against the.
disciples, and then saw a great light
from heaven and, "behold, he prayeth."

Work on the Chautauqua chorus pro
grammes for Gladstone Park Is pro
ceeding, and the midsummer concerts
by this body promise to be better this,
year than ever before," says J. H.
Cowen, who is directing the work for
the fourth consecutive season. Daily
rehearsals will be held on the grounds
during the session, July 7-19, and a
branch chorus will be formed In this
city. These singers will be taken to
Chautauqua Park Sunday afternoons of
July 9 and 16 for two scheduled con
certs, one of which is to be a cantata
and the other a mixed grand concert
Former choir members are joining
gladly again this season, and tho
chorus will number about 100 voices.
Favorite soloists will be engaged in
this city. The programme includes
many beautiful and stirring selections.
Mr. Cowen's discretion in selecting
music and voices has always resulted
in performances of a high order.

NIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
May 20. Special.) The most sys-
ematic teacher in Oregon has
been discovered by 'a member of the
State University extension faculty Her
name may not be revealed, nor yet
may the location of her school, as will
hereinafter be obvious, but the exten
sion worker In question vouches for
the authenticity of his story, which is
as follows:
"In the 30 minutes which I devoted
recently to visiting her school, a Wil
lamette Valley teacher handled two
grammar classes and four. classes or
more In spelling, dismissed school and
attended to incidental duties, all with
out using an unnecessary word and
with the precision and regularity of
automatic machinery.
"As I entered the room with the
supervisor, a storm of handclapplng
swept over the room, seemingly spon
taneous. but evidently quite carefully
regulated. Usually, when a lot of
youngsters clap hands, some of them
keep it up longer than the rest, but
these boys and girts all quit on the
same stroke. Just how they got the
signal I don't preteno to know.
No Blotloa Wasted.
"There was no waste motion. The
hands separated from the last ener
getic clap; one caugnt tne n.ngiisn
book and the other nana tne pencil
and the class was at work again.
The pupils did all the reciting; tne
teacher said hardly a word, but no one

seemea in uuuui. jv u
this class had been going on for five
minutes (I don't know how long It had
been going on before I came in), the
teacher looked, at tne clock in an in
cidental sort of .way. Immediately the
English books were closed and put
awav and the class which had been so
busily reciting within the space of two
minutes was Just as Dusiiy stuaying
something else. Three children simul
taneously handed up their spelling
books without being told, and the
teacher, using three different tones of
voice, began giving out words. evi
dently the pupils knew what tone was
meant for what class, for there was no
confusion. There seemed to be a sort
of a hang-over into the first part of
the scelling lesson from one Of the
English classes, although I could not
tell what it was about, but the pupils
seemed to understand perfectly.
"The teacher seemed to be doing
most of the talking now. whereas
when I entered she had done hardly
any at all. and It sounded something
like this: 'Sentence with torn, onion,
model; what 1b it? No. 6. Writi down
two suffixes and tell what each means;
orphan; molest; outward: mountain;
overshoes: multiply: paddle; mumble:
that's all; padlock; mumble; musket;
pantry; muzzle: pen; nature; pad; that's
all; pavement; pencil; pencil? pencil;
nephew: people; nerve; perfect; nick
name' eo it went on. without any In
terruption whatever from any of the
classes.
Look Changes Work,
"Once during the process the teacher
looked at the clock, and a certain
group of pupils changed over from
studying one lesson to studying an
other. I began to wonder whether the
signal meant the same when she
looked over the left shoulder as when
she looked over the right. Before long
the. teacher laid down one book. Im
mediately, another .waa banded to lie
evidently that from another class. Sho
went on using the same three tones.
The new class thus being relayed into
the matter, of course, did not have a
fair chance against the others, and did
not finish with them; so It was going
alone for a little while after the others
had finished their papers. But the
teacher was not Idle, for oy that time
Ing some kind of summarized record
in a little book which she carried con
veniently in . a pocket especially de
signed for it and for a pencil exactly
the length of the book.
"During the latter part of the cor
rection of the spelling work, which as
I have Indicated was coincident with
the handling of the last class, the
teacher was standing near the black
board, holding one hand behind her
and using it to clean off the board for
the next day's work. This backhand
operation she performed with the easa
of long practice, and coincident with
the correction of the last paper tho
board was cleanly wiped. This brought
the teacher within three steps of tho
organ, where she seated herself, the
pupils using the time which it took her
to travel from the blackboard for put
ting away their books. Upon the first
