A HUSBAND with lots of money
is a trying in-dividual to have
around the house,' says Peggy
Hopkins, actress, whose divorce trials
have brought her more publicity than
her acting ever did -or will. Peggy is
divorcing her third ricn husband.
being the defendant in a suit for an
nulment begun by J. Stanley Joyce,
who recently filed a sensational bill
n amine- prominent "persons on both
aides of the Atlantic a9 correspond
ents.
"A wealthy husband is spoiled1 be
fore you get him," said the debonair
young wife. "They're brought up the
wrong way. Thy euspect
bodv."
every-
Leaning languidly on a desk in her
attorney's offices, she lit a cigarette
and told how her last husband had
spoiled her for ever coming back to
th simple life.
"If I ever wanted a motor, did he
ever give me just one? He did not.
H gave me four or five. Then he
would lose bis temper and hit me.
Every time he hit me he would repent
and go out and buy nve about $50,000
worth of jewelry. He did buy me
about $750,000 worth of wonderful
diamonds and things. But I didn't
want them. He just bought them to
square himself and to make me the
bet-dressed woman in the world."
Mrs. Joyce said she was "still ter
ribly fond of him," but declared a
reconciliation with her husband was
impossible.
When Mrs. Joyce entered therfleva
tor of a downtown building to go to
her attorney's offices, a process server
was waiting to aerve her personally
in the annulment suit. A, beautiful
little stenographer entered the cleva
tor at the same time and he mistook
her for Peggy..
It Is to be hoped that t"he beautiful
little stenographer will not dash into
vaudeville now on the strength of
being mistaken for Mrs. Joyce.
The booking of "Mary" at the
Heilig for the last of this month calls
to mind its author, George M. Cohan,
and his name in turn recalls that his
first wife, Ethel Levey, and her pres
ent husband, Claude Grahame-White,
- have gone back to their home in Eng
land. ( Miss Levey will immediately
start on a lengthy vaudeville tour
there, followed by her engagement in
an English production. Before leav
ing .Miss LeVey said that she expect
to return her in .November, accom
panied by her husband, who has con
cluded to dispose of his English in
terests and thereafter make the
United States his home.
"I am full of thankfulness," said
Miss Levey, "through my benefit show
at the Sain H, Harris theater for dis
abled soldiers. It took in $7000.
"My engagement In vaudeville over
hare have been very pleasant and has
. been the most delightful engagement
cf my career."
iliss Levey played, about nine weeks
. in vaudeville while here. She reached
New York in January, after an
absence of seven years, during which
time she grew to be a popular stage
idol in England. It is understood
that upon her return to the States,
Che will appear in a Broadway show.
! While at Palm Beach vacationing
during Februaryy Miss Levey pur
chased a home and her daughter.
Georgette Cohan, who had appeared
ia vaudeville with her mother, eloped
with a young New York Wall-street
man and is happily married and has
given up the stage.
However incomplete the company
, for the forthcoming production of
. "The Follies" may be at the -present
writing, F. Ziegfeld Jr., at least has
assembled the cast of authors for
his new show.
Channing Pollock and Willard Mack
have been engaged to collaborate on
the book, while Gene Buck and- B, G.
1 Silva will furnish the lyrics. A
trio of composers will contribute the
score. Victor Herbert. Rudolf Friml
and Dave Stamper, and Joseph Urban
: is to design and paint all of the
acenery.
Ben AH Haggin,. too, will supply a
new picture, "The Spirit of 1921." and
Edward Koyce will stage the produc
tion. Ziegfeld has not as yet definite
ly decided on the theater for the new
"Follies."
From the "Follies" we leap to Her
bert's minstrels, a colored aggrega
tion of singers and dancers, which
comes to the Heilig on Thursday
night to round out the week.
Al Jolson will be he,re May 26-27-23.
In "Sinbad," and Mabel Wilber is in
the supporting cast. -
Wednesday night. May 25. the
Sonora Grand Opera company will ap
pear in a programme of operatic
selections and popular songs.
The Baker Stock closed last nighr,
after a most successful season, and
the various players will-soon start for
summer vacations or to join other
companies. William Lee is organizing
a road company which will tour the
northwest and eastern Oregon. Lora
Rogers is going to Pasadena, Cal.. to
visit her father and her sister, who
have a home there. Mr. and Mrs
George P. Webster will go to their
home in California, and Selmer Jack
son is going to make an automobile
trip of the northwest and 'later go on
down south. Muriel Kinney is leav
ing next week with her father for a
trip by automobile to California and
he may consider an offer she 'has
had to work in pictures this summer.
Mayo Methot ig going to spend the
vacation months studying interpreta
tive and character dancing, in which
ahe is already quite proficient. She
will also go on with her music She
ia already an excellent pianist.
Irving Kennedy and Lonnie Keating
have summer engagements, and Mur
ray F. Bernard plans to go east. Leo
Lindhard will have a real vacation
and rest, he says, and Shirley May
berry, who is Mrs. Wahl in priva3
life, is going to keep house and have
a domestic vacation In Portland. Mr.
and Mrs. Walter B. Gilbert are con
templating an Alaskan trip later in
the summer. Broderick O'Farrell is
to be married in June to a Portland.

been engaged for next year.
Old friends and old favorites, but
all with new ectsi stand out luminous-
ly in the new Orpheum show which
will be seen for the first time at the
Heilig1 this afternoon. First and fore
most is Rae Samuels, "the blue
streak.' who will . entertain with
new batch of soogs. Then conies Lew
Dockstader, the oldest favorite of th
lot, who has a new monologue called
"Normalcy.," Other old friends are
Paul Morton and Naomi Glass, who
have a new satire called "The Spiri
of Seventy-sixth Street." The fourth
feature is that offered by Maryon
Vadie, daneeuse, and Ota Gygi, former
court violinist to the king of Spain
who have not been in "Portland fo
several years. This show will close
with the afternoon performance next
Wednesday.
Of quite as much interest to local
show-shoppers as the featured at
tractidn will be the special engage
ment of Diana Bonnar at Pantages
for the week commencing with the
matinee tomorrow. Miss Bonnar was
once a soloist with the Chicago
Grand Opera company, but since then
she has been heard here in concert
and local engagements when she made
many friends who probably will be
on hand to welcome her. The Eight
Liberty Girls will top the programme
with much piomising music and the
other acts on the bill indicate that
Pantages will be worth while for the
amusement seeker.

VIOLINIST AT HIPPODROME
Bill Opening Todar Features
Trovato, Able Mu.-ician.

featured on the bill which opens to
day at the Hippodrome.
Trovato, at the opening of his
programme displays his talent as an
artist by the rendition of a classical
selection or two, picking the heaviest
music. After satisfactorily demon
strating his abiliry, Trovato then
launches into the line of entertain
ment which seems to give him the
greatest gratification. This is, to
make tne auaience laugh. He plays
popular and jazz music interspersing
the selections with what are said
to be many remarkable imitations of
the most humorous character. He
possesses a remarkable personality
and uses eccentric and unusual
r-ethods throughout his entertain
ment.
Viola Dana, in a very appealing
picture feature entitled "Puppets of
Fate," will be the motion picture at
traction on the bill. The play de
picts a beautiful Italian immigrant
who has come to America to search
for her husband who, the story de
velops, has proved- faithless, or at

the most of it.

tremely rraceful dancing into a de
lightful act. Clever acrobatics and
balancing are also promised aa a
part of their skit.
