appearance in the show In a delight
ful monologue. This show will close
its Portland engagement with the
afternoon performance next Wednes
day. The engagement of Mr. Keene and
Claire Whitney for big-time vaude
ville is one of the big Orpheum
achievements of the season. Mr.
Keen-, who comes, from Ireland, is a
favorite abroad as well as on Broad
way, and Miss Whitney has been a
star in Fox feature productions for
several years. Their little play, "The
Gossipy Sex," was written by Law
rence Grattan and in their hands it
ia a comedy drama-tic gem.
With the assistance of Irene Del
rov. a Venus In miniature, Tom Pa
tricola gives vaudeville one of its
most distinctive dancing acts. He is
a master of ludicrous comedy, and he
has no peers in his line of eccen
tricities. La Bernieia, the third fea-.
ture. is appropriately styled the
aueen of the dance. ami her act
would be Quite fitting as a recital
programme. She gives a diversilie
programme ranging from classic to
"laaz." and her assisting artists vary
her numbers with pleasing Inter
ludes.
It is not easy for a vaudeville arr
ist to appear twice in the same show
and make a hit each time, but Robert
Emmet Keene does it in sure-fire
fashion. In his second appearance h
entertains with "A Vaudeville De

PEACEKTl. VALLEY' AT BAKER
Henry Hall and Leona Powers to
Play Chief Roles.
Immortality is a ranking seldom
granted to a stage production, but
that rank has been achieved, it would
appear, by "Peaceful Valley," a de
lightful composition of comedy, drama
and sometimes melodrama, in which
the talented members of the Baker
Stock company wili appear through
out the week, opening with the mati
nee this afternoon. Walter B. Gilbert,
director, is enthusiastic over the prep
aratlons for the repetition of this
happy old play, which, despite its
years of service in entertaining
American audiences, has lost none of
its charml
"Peaceful Valley" will give out
standing roles to Henry Hall, and to
Miss Leona Powers. Hall, who used
to be leading man with the Baker
company, has resumed that place tern
porarily and will enact -the role of
Hosia Howe in "Peaceful Valley." as
well as the title role in "Yon Yonson,
which is to follow. Miss Powers,
whose return to the' Baker cast was
royally acclaimed by Baker patrons
last week, will appear as Virgie Rand,
the heroine.
The hero is an ambitious youth who
is working his way through college
waiting on table at the famous ''per
pendicular farm," where ho comes
into contact with many droll and de
llghtful situations, not to mention
some dramatic incidents. But Howe
finally moves to the great city where
his rural characteristics give rise to
more unusual comedy. Jt is said that
Henry Hall's portrayal of the role of
Hosia Howe can be likened only to
his great success in "The Man From
Home, a play well remembered by
Hall s Portland friends.
"Peaceful Valley" was written by
Edward -A. Kidder and was the most
popular of the old Sol .Smith Russell
plays of a few years ago. Russell made
the role of Hosia one of his outstand-
ng stage successes and since that day
he piece has been a vivid memory iq
the minds of American theatergoers.
For the local production the Baker
players have all been given strong
supporting roles.

MUSICAL COMEDY OFFERED
Pantages lleadliners Accompanied
by Pretty Chorus.
For the first time in several weeks
a musical comedy will be the headline
attraction at the Pantages theater
beginning with the Monday matinee
and continuing for the balance of the
week. Filled with romance, youth and
music, it is a very fitting headline
attraction, and in the cast are Robert
Capron. Walter Booth, Muriel Ras-
trick and Belle Montrose. This quartet
of prncipals is supported by a bevy
of stunnimg girls for a chorus. The
tory of the piece is fanciful and
around it is written a score of much
musical charm. The staging and cos-
uming are said to be magnificent.
The special added attraction on the
same b'll will be the Oklahoma Four,
who are said to be an eruption of
cylonic daitcing. Garbed in pictur-
sque ranch costumes that one now
ssociates with moving-picture drama
f cowboy life, they achieve one of
the outstanding hits on the new bill.
Jack Hoiand and Cathleen O'Den
measure up well n the comedy hon
ors of the ,show with their comedy
kit, Ain t Nature Grand? " Their
ffering consists of songs and smart
hatter, and they finish it off with
graceful dancing by Miss O'Den. a
iminutlve person wth a dainty iig-
re.
Meredith and Snoozer furnish an
ther outstanding feature, for they
resent "America's wisest dog actor."
