G I'tim III , ft. " i Vh -j?!, 'i A', Ml BY LEONE CASS BAER. r ALESKA SURATT Is coming to Portland again over the Or- pheum In a new act called "The White Way." written by Jack Lait. There are four characters In the sketch and the scene Is a lavender boudoir, with Valeska In a series ot negligees and othor garments. She Is going to sing a song; in the act, something? she hasn't done since sev eral seasons ago when she was a musical comedy star. Maude Adams has given her lovely home of many acres and a wonderful old house at Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island, to be used as a refuge and home for poor and dependent children under the protection of the Catholic faith. Lew Shank, formerly In vaudeville, carried the whole republican ticket with him when eloctwi mayor of Indianapolis again: ' "Aloha." the production which AI Jolson sponsored as producing man ager, has been sent to the storehouse. Originally It was intended to bring the show to Broadway after the At lantic City tryout. The comedian producer at the last minute, however, called off the dress rehearsal that was scheduled for his benefit in New York and sent the show to the store house. Those who saw the show In Atlantic City believe that It would have a chance with fixing and Jolson has stated that he will have it rewritten. The loss to the comedian up to the present Is In the neighborhood of $25,000. Amy Butler Is returning to the stage with Mike Bernard, who also has been In retirement for several months. When Coleman and Ray (who is Mrs. Coleman), were In Portland at Pantages a few weeks ago, their child of 2 years underwent an opera tion at a local hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Coleman are the originators and manufacturers of the clever walking dolls which they use In their ven trlloquial set, and several specimens of which they always give away at Saturday matinees wherever they play. Despite their worry about their baby the Coleman put -on their act as usual here at Pantages, spending every minute while not on the stage, at the hospital with the baby. When they closed the week here the little one seemed progressing so nicely that it was removed to the train and went on to San Francisco with its parents. A sudden relapse, however, occurred and the baby died. The parents have the sympathy of friends made all over Pantages circuit, where they are loved and esteemed. Louise Glaum Is the newest recruit frm "f ilium" land to enter , vaude ville. So far, and up to date Vera Gordon Is the best recruit Portland has seen. The Lee hoodlums, Carlyle Blackwelt and Francis X. Bushman may be wveet and p-etty in pictures, but they are Burely sad whe- they attempt legitimate acting. Miss Glaum is coming in a dramatic sketch in which she is supported by five people. Walter Percival Is at the Roosevelt hospital, New York. In a physical condition that is said to have caused his physicians to warn him that a rest In the mountains Is almost Im perative. Mr. Percival but la'.ely re turned to New York after playing In "The Broken Wing" that closed In Chicago. , Edna Wallace Hopper has' returned to New York from Los Angeles, where ehe underwent a facial operation,' ot which she had motion pictures taken, showing every process of the cutting healing and result. She Is consider ing an offer from Shubert vaudeville to make an act of the film with a short lecture and a few of her old-time numbers. She appears ready to eing them and look them. Miss Hopper'B surgery was done back of the ear, where an Irregular Incision was made and drawn to gether. This healed without a per captlble scar. Her face now looks like that of a girl In her 20a. wthout a wrnkle. She was confined only three days during the heallngr-process. The films were taken with tthe co operation of Jesse 'Lasky. If Mies Hopper does not accept vau deville, she may do a lecture tour. A national Sunday syndicate is also dickering for a series of illustrated articles by her, with, the stills. Similar operations In the past have been performed on professionals, notably Fannie Ward and Eva Tan guay and Lily Lansrtry, but none com pares, it is said, with the transforma tion worked on Miss Hopper. Roszlka Dolly, who Is one of the Polly sisters, has announced her en gagement to George Brockbank, eon of an English railroad magnate. One of the Dolly sisters is divorced from Harry Fox and one Is divorced from Gene Schwartz, but It's difficult to re member which is' which. Pretty little Marguerite Fender, wo sang and played the title role in "Mary." the Cohan show which was here last spring, Is to be here Decem ber 1 In the title role of "Angel Face," at the Hellig. "Angel Face" is a three-act musical comedy which Is classed among the best productions of its kind. Nat Carr is thetprlncipai main lead. This will be Marjorle Fosterf last wek and next week a new leading woman. Frances Woodbury, is to reign at the Baker theater.

Kitfy Doner, a members of the cel ebrated Doner family. Is the head liner of the Orpheum show which will open at the Heilig this afternoon. This Is Miss Doner's first trip to the west In vaudeville in- several years. She has an act called "A League of Sons Steps" and her leading support Ik composed of her little sister Rose and her brother Ted. Eddie Moran is piano accompanist for the act. Kitty V Doner is reckoned among America's I niv.mi.coh Dino uaiivn a uu mo that she has been with Al Jolson for several years in his Winter Garden productions proves that she is worthy of big type in headline position for the Orpheum. The new show is a four-feature bill. The features with the Doners are Mrs. Gene Hughes, a Portland favorite. In a new comedy playlet, "Contented Peggy"; Dave Kramer and Jack Boyle, happy-go-lucky entertainers, and Mary Haynes In exclusive songs. This show will close with the matinee Wednesday. Manager J. A. Johnson of the Pantages theater has a huge bill to offer his patrons this week. There are two distinct headliners, Nat "Chick" Haines and his large company in "Yes, My Dear." and P. T. Selbit's European sensation, "Sawing a Wom an In Two," the latter of which Is now causing wide interest in the east be cause of the litigation started -be tween the Keith circuit and the Shu bert brothers as to who shall control the act in the east. Mr. Pantages It the meanwhile saw the act and booked it for an Immediate tour his circuit. Harold Lloyd in his latest comedy, "Never Weaken," and Mary Miles Minter In "Her Winning Way" are thrown In as an extra measure. Lester Bernard will top the new bill opening today at the Hippodrome, with a comedy playlet, "George Wash ington Cohen," by Aaron Hoft. Owing to a shift in acts the Hippodrome bill will contain six vaudeville numbers on the bill the last half of the week. The Lyric offers "Lulu." featuring Al Franks and Eddie Wright in the roles of lkie and Iny and introducing the reorganized Lyric male trio, as well as Earl Franklin, new juvenile with the Lyric company. Rosebud chorus, too. A.VGEL FACE" XEW TRIUMPH Combination of Comedy and Melody Coming to Heilig Soon. The fact-Js frequently overlooked, but it is a fact nevertheless, that our old friends "Words and Music" are '.remendously important factors in j musical comeoy. In "Angel Face," which will be seen et the Hellig theater Thursday, De cember 1, for a three-day engage ment, Victor Herbert, who wrote the music. Is at his best, and the Smith brothers, Harry B. "and R. B., have turned out a book which is genuinely funny. It has been customary to say, and generally with justice, that the tale of a musical comedy Is negligible, but In "Angel Face" it Is very much I-. vidence. In fact, it is as complicated ua a French farce, with everyone. In cluding even the chorus, having part in the unfolding. Mr. Herbert has written a series of melodic delights, with a happy mingling of orchestral and vocal ORCHESTRAS AND VIOLINISTS - DIVIDE HONORS IN CONCERTS "Faust" Is Scheduled as First Saturday Afternoon' Performance in New York Opera Chamlee in Title Role. BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. EW YORK, Nov. 20. (Special.) The week has been divided ' bet between orchestral concerts and violinists. Everything is shared with violinists this season. The lat est debut in violinists was Ferenc Vecsey and the latest conductor was Richard Strauss. The composer faced a capacity audience at Carnegie and was the subject of much speculative interest. Remembering that it was always as a composer he had won renown those of the audience which preferred him in that capacity were again made aware that Strauss the conductor is less or a towering- figure in the musical world than Strauss the composer. As composer, in addition to having "Don Juan" on his own programme, there was a noteworthy performance of "Don Juan" on the first pro gramme of the Boston symphony or chestra, . when Pierre Monteux gave a singularly fine performance of it. Monteux found the sentimental charm," the languor, the delicacy, the melodic play, and did not lose the climaxes. The juxtaposition of the two musical personalities offered much food for contemplation, and be tween these came the first New York appearance of Alfredo Casella, the great leader of the younger modern Italians, who made an Instantaneous and tremendous success when he ap peared with, the Philadelphia sym phony orchestra. Casella, appearing as composer and pianist, played his own tone poem for piano and orchestra "In the Deep of Night" as also the Caesar Franck "Variations Symphoniques." Casella Is one of the most important visitors from foreign shores and his appeal was made purely on merit with which he scored heavily. The next signifi cant conductor and still more sig nificant composer to arrive In this jjountry will be Vincent V Indy, the ereat French master who left a last ' ' r i , ..-rr 111..- ' .11 II: -- r:v r r-w r. x - Ji ;i7"tm .
