THIS Peoples theater orchestra cel ebrated Its first anniversary Tuesday night with a dinner at the Oregon hotel. The orchestra mem bers are proud of the fact that their organization has remained Intact for the year, under the direction of John Brits, conductor. There has not been a single change In personnel since the .orchestra was formed. The orchestra will contribute to the BUNCOING OF RELATIVE IS ' EXPLAINED BY GEORGE ADE Be Sure Knock-out Drops Are of Regulation Strength Is Moral Drawn From Tale of Disappointed Orphan Asylum. BY GEORGE ADE. AN old Residenter, who owned a Section of Improved Land, and some Town PropcVty besides. ' was getting top Feeble to go out and 'roast the Hired Hands, so he turned " the Job over to his Son. His Son. was named Joel. He was Foolish, the 'same as a Fox. Anyone who got ; ahead of Joel had to leave a 4:30 Call 'and start on a Gallop. When It came 'to Skin Games he was the original I High-Binder. Joel took the Old Gentleman aside one Day and said to him: -"Father, " you are not long for this World, and .to save Lawyer Fees and avoid a tle ' up In the Probate Court, I think you 'ought to cut up your Estate your own self, and then you will know it is ;done Right." "How had I better parcel it out?" 'asked the Old Gentleman. "You can put the whole Works in my Name," suggested Joel. "That will save a lot of Writing. Then if any other Relatives need anything, they can come to me and try to Bor- row." Joel sent for a cut-Tate Shyster, who brought a bundle of Papers tied with Green Braid, and assured the Old Gentlman that the Proceedings was a Mere Formality. When a Legal Wolf wants to throttle a Sucker he always springs that Gag about a Mere Formality. . Joel and the Shell-Worker moved the Old Gentleman up to a Table in the Front Room and put a Cushion under him and slipped a Pon into his Hand and showed him where to Sign ' on the Dotted Line. , After he got through filling the ; Blank Spaces with his John Hancock, . he didn't have a Window to Hoist or - a Fenoe to lean on. He was simply ! sponging on Joel. This went on for a Month, and then ' Joel began to Fret, "I don't think I am getting a ' Square Deal," said Joel. "Here is a doddering old Has-Been, without any . Assets, who lives with me Week in ' and Week out and doesn't pay any - Board. He is getting too Wobbly to TOP CAS PUT THE WHOLE WORKS i "am-ai,nss : ! 1- i i- Sv success of Portland's first annual nru slc week by trivlngr'a concert Wednes day night, which is the regular "night off" for this orchestra. The concert will be at 8:20 o'clock, and the fol lowing request numbers will be played: "Morning, Noon and NigUf (Suppe), "Blue Danube Waltz" (Strauss), "Prelude" (Rachmaninoff). The orchestra will also hold a unique contest tomorrow night at 8 do Odd Jobs around the Place, and it looks to me Ilk an awful Imposi tion." So he went to the Old Gentleman and said: "Father, I know, the Chil dren must annoy you a good deal they must make so much Noise when they play House. Sometimes we want to use the Piano after it Is your Bed time, and of course that breaks your Rest, so I have been thinking that you would be a lot better off in some Institution where they make a Spe cialty of looking after Physical Wrecks. I have discovered a nice, quiet Place. You will live in a large Brick Building, with a lovely Cupola on top. There Is a very pretty Lawn, with Flower Beds, and also an orna mented Iron Fence, so that the Dogs cannot break in and bite you. You will be given a nice Suit of Clothes, the same as'all the others are wearing-, and If you oversleep yourself In the Morning, a Man will come around and call you." "In other Words, me to the POor House," said the Old Fluff. "You need not call It that, unless you want to," said Joel. "If you choose, you may speak of It as the Home for Aged Persons who get Fool ish with the Fountain Pens." So Joel put his Father into the Fllv and hauled him over the Hills to the Charity Pavilion. , where all the Old Gentleman had to do was -to sit around in the Sun looking at the Pictures in last year's Illustrated Papers and telling what a Fat-Head he had been. But sometimes a Man is not all in, simply because he looks to be wrinkled. Joel's Father had a Few Thinks coming to him. Although he bad been double-crossed and kicked in the Solar Plexus, he hail a Punch left. He sent for a Lawyer who was even more Crafty than ths one employed by Joel and he said to him: "There Is a Loop-Hole In every Written In strument, if one only knows how to find it. I want you to set aside that fool Deed." Next Day the Lawyer came for him In an eight-cylinder Sedan and said: "They forgot to pay the War Tax, and so the Transfer does not go." "And do I get all of my property back again?" asked the Old-Timer. 13 MY SAJU3." SUGGESTED JOEL. V o'clock. The orchestra will compete with a phonograph, equipped with an amplifier, and) the- audience will de cide which furnishes the better en tertainment. On the programme will be "Kamenol Ostrow" (Rubinstein) "Poet and Peasant" (Suppe) and prob ably one other number. This is the first time, bo far as is known, that such a contest has ever been present ed in this city. "You get half and I get half." was ths reply of the Lawyer. "Give me mine In the Mitt," said the Residenter. "I'm from Wiscon sin and I want it laid right In the Lunch-Hook. Whatever I own from this time on, I carry right in my Clothes, and any Relative who sepa rates me from it will have to eet his Request to "Music." Then, he sent to a Physician, "Doc." he says, "they are counting nine on me, but I figure that before I cash liv I have time to blow all that I have eet aside. Look me over and tell me how long I would last on a Rits diet. I want to gauge my Expenses so as to leave nothing be hind for Joel except a HJ-Ha Mes sage and some scornful Advice. "If you want to euchre your Fam lly. why don't you leave it to an Orphan Asylum? suggested the Lawyer. "Nix on the Orphan Asylum," said the Vet "They would bring a mil lion witnesses to prove that I had been cloudy In the Peach for 20 Years, and I wouldn't be there to contradict them, I learn that, by a singular Coincidence, all the Old People who leave their Money to Hospitals and the like are Mentally Irresponsible. In order to prove that I am in my right Senses, I will put mine into Circulation.:' So he went to Palm Beach and other Winter Resorts, at which they charge by the Minute, and wherever he went he made them set up and exclaim, "Oh, gosh, ain't he the Cat?" He bought himself a blond Motor ing Coat with a surcingle around it, and a very zippy line of Cravats, and when he went into the Dining Room he picked out a Table which com manded a View of the Door at which the Girls came in. All this time Joel was worried. It seemed a Sin and a Shame for an Old Man to go around spending his uwn Money. The Residenter had so much Fun during his Second Time on Earth that he decided to make It a sure-enough Renaissance, so he married a Type Writer 19 years old, that he met in a Hotel Lobby, and then Joel did go up in the air. When she began to pick out Snake Rings and Diamond Wish-Bones the Old Gentleman saw that there was no longer any Hope for Joel. Moral: When buncoing a Relative be sure that the Knock-Out Drops are Regulation Strength. (Copyright, 1B21, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) NEW BILLS AT THE MOVIES (Continued from First Pag.)

Journey. ALICE LAKE STAIi OF FILjI "The Infamous Miss Kevell" Of fering of Hippodrome. Alice Lske in a screen version of Carey WorMerly's story "The Infam ous Miss Revell" will be the offering at the Hlppodroins beginning this at- ernoon. In this picture, in which she has practically as all-star support. Miss Lake portrays ths dual role- of the Kevell e liters, Paula and Jullen, a feat which required the most adroit acting In order not to spoil the sur prise climax at the end of the play. The story of the play, or as much of It as can he told without spolllns It for the audience, deals with sisters, the Revell elrls, who are left penni less with four little brothers and sisters to support. One of them, Jullsn, in order to provide a. living; for the little ones, takes the position of nurse to a rich old man on a trip abroad. After their return the old man dies, leaving; Jullen his entire fortune instead of bequeathing' it to his nephew and niece. Max and Lillian. This .angers the brother and sister and they plan to euchre Jullen out of the Inheri tance. Max procures the position of tutor and Lillian that of g-overness In Jullen's home in the furtherance of their scheme. The plan is upset through Max falling- in love with Jullen. Ha, how ever, is too much of a man to propose without confessing- his perfidious pur. poss In Jullen's home, which she mis construes into supposition that it ,1s her "past" that is deterring- him. From this point the picture works up to a startling- conclusion. SIAKY PICKFORD AT KTVpLl "Mttle Xjord Fauntleroy" Vehicle , for Famous Star. T! a 'millions Af r&dra f nvances ftodg-soa Burnett' world-loved novel. "Littlo Lord Fauntleroy." will be de lighted to know that Mary Pick ford In reproducing ths story for ths screen has preserved all its qualnt- ness and charm, and has been espe cially faithful to the costumes and manners of the period depicted so vividly by the author. This picture Is now at the RlvolL As a vehicle for the lovely Mary, this story is ideal, running as It does the entire gamut of emotional drama, pathos and rtofoa comedy. She has a chance to let hex public see her as a mature woman and also as a boy of 7. Through the medium of double ex posure, that most bafflng of photo graphic methods. Miss Plckford Is able to appear as two different char acters in the same scans, thus pro ducing the most perfect illusion pos Bible. The Victorian dresses with their puff -sleeves, bustles and long trains; the thatched houses and the magni ficent castle shown in- this film tend to make it an achievement in pic tureland. And yet who can ever forget the rheumatic old apple-woman, the portly grocer, and the lovable boot black who were such great cronies of Cedrlo Errol? The human interest and heart appeal in this picture is said to top anything ever yet trans' lated into celluloid. Miss Fickford will be seen in a greater variety and a more novel eet of costumes in "Little Lord Faunt leroy" than in any play in which she has ever before appeared.

DUAL ROLE IS IMPERSONATED "The Great Impersonation" Fea ture at Circle, James Kirkwood has a difficult dual role in "The Great Impersona tion," which la at the Circle today and tomorrow. The skill required In the portrayal of this role will be understood when one considers the fact-that Mr. Kirk wood must enact two racial charac ters with entirely different charac teristics one a German, the other an Englishman. The role becomes further involved when, as ths story develops, it ap pears that ths German has killed the Englishman and Impersonates him In Britain, acting as a spy of ths im perial Prussian government Just prior to ths great war. After many- thrilling scenes, a smashing surprise develops which Is calculated to make the average no tion picture fan gasp It Is said this finale is unequaled in interest and dramatic power by any similar situa tion ever shown in a motion picture. Mr. Klrkwood's portrayal of this dif ficult role Is highly artistic. This Paramount Picture Is an adap tation by Monte M. Katterjohn of E. Phillips Oppenrteim's novel. Ann For est, Winter Hall, Truly Shattuck, Alaa Hale, Lawrence Grant, Fontaine La Rus and other noted players are associated with Mr. Kirkwood in ths all-tar east.
