CRITICS ACCLAIM PRIHODA AS GREATEST OF VIOLINISTS Young Bohemian to Appear as Soloist With Portland . Symphony Orchestra at Next Concert at Heilig Theater March 8. it BY LIZZIE EVANS. -UST at present there is the jazz influence in the drama. as well as in the dance," de clared Miss Lizzie Evans, character actress, who will come to Portland this week with "The Bat," playing at the Heilig theater, when asked to compare the drama of today with the stage as it was when she first made her debut as a staV. "The public is not in as serious a mind as formerly. They want some thing bold to fit in with the jazz. But a new era is dawning for the drama, just as it is for, the world," Miss Evans said. "The theater sets the pace in everything, but afterall it is the discretion and applause of the 'people out front' which decides the style of the play. Managers are Just beginning to realize, though, that the public wants exciting plays that 'the majority of audiences are sick and tired of bedroom farces and suggestive situations." "Ijightnin " an Example. Miss Evans quoted as an example Francis Bacon's "Lightnin'." It was a clean play and it broke all records in the theatrical world of New York, running three years, and could have continued longer. Mr. Bacon, an ex Portlander, is a man of high prin ciples, who struggled for years to find his ideal. His play, In the ac tress' opinion, and its ultimate suc cess, is a plea for the right thing principle in all things, and then there, will be no more suicides, no more murders, or gangster boys. "The new era dawning for the drama," said the actress, "is a spiritual one. with the development and recognition of God as the su preme power in all life. Money is the. god of today. After all, there is only one thing that counts, and that is the realization of God and the truth. Money is all very well, but then, one is never satisfied. Materialism Opposed. "'The senses, which are our appe tites, destroy us. Selfishness and self -Indulgence is never spiritual, and there is no happiness where you are supremely selfish. The drama must go on to bigger things, but we mustn't stunt growth, even through thoughts," for to think is to create and one has a desire for better things. The shadow always comes before the sunshine! "Melodrama as it existed formerly is a thing of the past "We find it portrayed as in The Bat' with the tragic moment relieved by the hu morous situation. A gruesome thing like the murder in the first a:t is destroyed by the comic element, which lifts it out of the tragic situation." FOUR HISTORICAL THEATERS OF CHICAGO WILL BE RAZED Monuments to Business Acumen of Comedian, Medicine Show Magnate, Minstrel Manager and Circus Men Slated for Destruction. CHICAGO, Feb. 25. Four of Chi cago's theatrical landmarks monuments to the business acu men of a song and dance comedian, a medicine show magnate, a minstrel manager and a pair of circus men are slated for destruction. Workmen have begun sinking cais sons under McVicker's, most venera ble of the downtown theaters, and the wreckers will take charge in May. George M. Cohan's grand opera house, Powers and me Olympic are soon to follow, and with them will disappear the loop's most notable re minders of Victorian grandeur, carved walnut and red plush. The Grand probably will be the second -of the quartet to go, as un der the terms of the present lease it must be rebuilt before January 1, 1924. Powers, known to a bygone theater-going generation as Hooley's theater and which for nearly 50 years has held the unquestioned prestige as the theater in which, the most illus trious actors preferred to appear, is to give way to an addition to the Hotel Sherman. A new playhouse may be incorporated in. the hotel ex tension, but this point has not been definitely decided. Owners of the Olympic are planning to rebuild that house as soon as con ditions are favorable. ' James H. McVicker, founder of the theater which still bears his name, was the song and dance comedian in Chicago's early quartet of theatrical magnates. A traveling company brought him here in the early days. and in 1S57 he built his first theater on the spot where the present play house now devoted to continuous vaudeville stands. The theater im mediately became the most important center of dramatic activity in the middle west. Its opening was a great event, and nightly thereafter crowded omnibuses left its doors after the performance for the Bull's Head ta ern and the fashionably outlying suburb of Cottage Grove, now part of the near south side. McVicker installed a resident stock company which "supported" a nota ble succession of visiting stars Charlotte Cushman, Edwin Booth, the elder Sothern, J. H. Hackett, Lotta Crabtree, Lawrence Barrett, Charles Kean and many others. Here Edwin Booth met Mary McVicker, the man ager's daughter, whom he afterward married. Here, when Lincoln was shot, there waa double mourning, for the assassin, J. Wilkes Booth, had played McVicker's often. Here, in 1866, "The Black Crook" had its phe nomenal Chicago run of 56 nights. The theater was destroyed in the great fire of 1871 and was the first playhouse to be rebuilt after the dis aster. In 1890 it was again destroyed by fire and the present structure dates from its restoration in 1S92, The medicine show magnate was John A. H .mlin and the . minstrel manager Richard M. Hooley. Both were identified with the early days of the present Grand opera house. '. In 1870 Hooley, who had made a for tune with his minstrel troupes, bought Bryan hall, a concert audito- announcement of rium, rebuilt it and prepared to open Hooley's opera house. The" fire of 1871 destroyed the theater on the very night before it was to pe opened and swept away his fortune. In 1873 Hamlin, famous throughout the country for his Hamlin's Wizard Oil, built the largest billiard hall in the world on the site of the former opera house. Later he enlarged and turned it into a beer garden, which in turn became Hamlin's theater in 1878 and in 1880, after extensive al terations, was reopened under the former name of the Grand opera-house. The flamboyant the opening said: SPECIAL NOTICE. The management bpes tn nrnt 4h- public some ot Its many claims to su premacy in the field It occupies.

The only theater with six modern pros cenium boxes. The only theater with fhinniiii. c. " e"" The attraction for this erand nnen, ing was "A Child of the State." After the fire Hooley, the minstrel man, exchanged the site of the Grand for another in Randolph street, and there for many years operated Hoo ley s tneater, now the Powers, re modeled somewhat but essentially the same as it was bu years aeo. The circus men, Charles E. Kohl and George Middleton. launched th Olympic on its present regime. They naa Deen touowers of P. T. Barnum and had started in Chicago as pro prletors of dime museums. Its origin as a place of amusement dates back iu me cany ous, wnen wood s mu seum occupied part of the site, with Kingsbury hall, home of a modest stock company venture, at the rear. -4 NEW BILLS AT THEATERS (Continued From Page 6.J PAXTAGES BOOKINGS GOOD Wide Variety of Entertainment Is Promised Audience. When the new bill opens at the Pantages theater for the Monday matinee, an unique programme Is promised with a wide variety of en tertainment to satisfy the likes of the most discriminating. ,. As the headline offering Madam Marcel presents "The Different Revue," which features Herbert Crowley as the principal funmaker. Nine Allied sailors are In this act, presenting their elaborate travesty in musical comedy. They appear as chorus girls, danc ing girls, Broadway belles and as sailors and their mixture of songs and comedy moves along at a lively pace. One amusing feature is "that the majority of them In impersonat ing the fair sex make no effort to disguise masculine voices. The act is headed by Herbert Crowley, a delect able comedian. Llllie Jewell-Faulkner presents one of the most interesting and amusing puppet shows Pantages has seen, according to critics in other cities. It introduces some of tle notables of the comic cartoons and shows a ball game with Babe Ruth at the bat. Its appeal is for the grown-ups as well as for the children. Adelaide Wilson, a vivacious come dienne who appears with Victor Burns, in a skit called "The Un-Trained Nurse," is one of the most popular figures of the new bill. She has a keen sense of humor and a way of delivering her comedy lines with tell ing effect. Adams, Saunders and Robinson are booked as "Jazz Syncopaters de Luxe,'1 and these two boys and the girl are well fitted for' their mixture of lively singing, dancing and piano playing. 'Something Different" introauces the Zara Carmen trio, two girls and man, who have a novelty offering that includes dancing and hoop-ron- ing. It is also well staged amd tne costuming is brilliant. No Pantages programme would De complete without a lively screen comedy, ' and as the Pantagescope offering Harry Sweet will De seen in "An Idle Roomer." which is said to be a stream, and the International News reel also will be shown. SIXGIXG, DANCING DOMINATE Clown Comedy Act to Open Show at Hippodrome Today. The "bill which will open at the Hinnndrome this afternoon favors the ainine- and dancing features of vaudeville but not to-such an extent as to throw the. show out of balance. The offerings, which are declared to be of stellar character, will be opened by the clown comedy act of Alvin and Kenny, the one a grotesque and the other a straight comedy performer. This pair will execute a laughable as well as very difficult feat of dodging, balancing and tumbling on the rings and on the ground. Conspicuous on the bill will be Her bert E. Denton, who, with his asso ciate, will present what is reputed to be a highly amusing comedy playlet captioned "Poughkeepsie." The offi cial description of the act is "the split second comedy of vaudeville." Den ton has the reputation of being a clever comedian and the playlet has a touch of originality with bright and snappy lines. The Riverside Three, a trio of young fellows, will present their offering of character hits in harmony singing. The three are -said to be good sing ers with a personality that makes them decidedly popular with the audi ence the moment they step, on the stage. The MacNaughtons, Charles and Ce cil, are to present an amusing con ceit they call "Getting Acquainted.' It is a very dressy act that, besides some choice comedy bits, contains lots of swinging songs and good dancing. Ed Jackson and Dot Taylor, assist ed by Monty Howard, are to present comedy sketch in wnicn harmony singing and a planologue are rea tures. The week-end bill which will open next Thursday will include Rilla Wil lard and company, dramatic sketch; Jimmy Lyons, monologuist; Fred La- Reine, electric wizard; Wilbur and Girlie and LaRose and Adams. VASA PRIHODA, young Bohemian violinist, acclaimed by critics and masters of Italy as. the greatest violinist of his time, will appear as soloist with the Portland symphony orchestra at its next con cert at the Heilig theater Wednesday! night, March 8. At his American d6but in New York a year ago, he was hailed as a second Pagininl. He is now making his first tour of the lead ing cities of the United States, under the direction of Fortune Gallo. His rise to fame was dramatic. He was born In 1300 at Vodnany, Bohe mia, and studied at the Conservatory of Prague under noted masters. Then the war interrupted his career and when peace came, tie decided to seek his fortune in Italy. The rate of ex change so reduced his funds that he was forced to stop in Zurich. The proceeds of a few concerts enabled him to reach Milan, but without money or friends. Christmas day, 1919, fpund him down to 70 centimes. He passed a restaurant and seeing a sign, "con cert," entered and pereuaded the pro prietor to let him play. Gaetano Ba vagnoli was in the restaurant at the time and was so delighted with his playing that he arranged a concert for him at once. Within a week he stepped from poverty to fame in fairy-tale fashion.- a wen-Known eastern critic wrote: "He plays with exuberance and sen suous tone quality, displaying a tech nique ajmost magical, a caressingly mellow tone and a sentiment con trolled by taste." Most attractive in stage appearance and personality, he also is a techni cian of the very first rank and plays Paginini in a fashion to perplex and ' .

BROADWAY HAS NUMBER OF GOOD NEW SHOWS IN WEEK Several Others Due to Open Soon -"Fedora" and 'The Rose of Stam boul" to Be Played in Near Future. 4 BLIND BOYS ENROLLED High Scholastic Standings Held at University of Idaho. UNIVERSITT OF IDAHO, Moscow, Feb. 25. (Special.) Four blind boys are enrolled at the University of Idaho. Their grades in all subjects are high. Werner J. Ripplinger of Driggs, Idaho; Frederick L. Somers, Rexburg; J. A. Carver, Preston, are freshmen, while Carl F. Pearson is finishing his fourth year. He will be graduated with a record almost un precedented at the university. In all four years he has won the highest honors which can be awarded. Somers is an accomplished pianist and has appeared in university assem bly several times and Ripplinger is a violinist. All of these men carry more credits than the maximum al lowed by the university, yet they bring in higher grades than other students with less work. The state has set aside a fund for the salary of readers who are paid by the hour for rehearsing lessons with the blind students. Three of the blind students are ar dent athletic fans and attend every football and basketball contest. They go about without guidance. - pattern BY ELIZABETH LONERGAN. EW YORK, Feb. 25. X Special.) Several good shows have opentd on Broadway and several others are due shortly. This is certainly a season that is remarkable, in numbers at least, so far as new productions are concerned. Two very important open- ings of the next few days are "Feo dora," with Marie Lohr as star, and the production of "The Rose of Stam boul," which the Shuberts have been promising the public all season. Miss Lohr, it will be remembered, opened only last week in "The Voice From the Minaret," which did not make the de sired impression. The work of the clever English actress was highly praised and, fortu nately, she had a number of other plays tucked away, and simply put "Feodora" into rehearsal. "The Rose of Stamboul" is also a "successor," as the stars of "The Cho colate Soldier" will appear in the new musical show, which will be brought out at the Century, where "The Choco late Soldier has been playing for sev eral months. Besides Tessa Kosta and Donald Brian, James Barton, the funny comedian, is featured in the new piece. Next season the Shuberts will send The Chocolate Soldier" on tour with Mr. Brian and Miss Kosta in their original roles. They have not yet de cided about the route, but may in clude the west if conditions continue to improve in the theatrical and rail road lines. And Irene Bordoni will return next week in "The French Dolt." The try out of this musical comedy was given in Canada, and the reports on the first nights have been extremely flat tering. A. E. Thomas made tne adaptation from a well-known French play which has never been done in this country. With Miss Bordoni ap pear a number of Portland favorites, including Will Deniing, Thurston .Hall and Edna Hibbard. ' . V- ' Jules Eckert Goodman's productions are always of special interest on the cost, particularly in his home town. The other night "The Law Breaker" was introduced, and proved to be a thrilling play of the crook variety with a -cleverly handled plot. The cast included: Frank Sheridan, Clif ford Dempsey, John Cromwell, Blanche Yurka, William Courtenay, Marguerite Maxwell and Morgan Wal lace. , The heroine is a settlement worker interested in sociology, and the hero a good looking crook. Of course everyone expects her to marry the handsome crook and just for surprise, she doesn't! There are number of tangled threads in the story, which is mystifying from be ginning to end. . Another mystery play is "The Cat and the Canary, produced by Kil bourne Gordon. It is a thrilling play, suggesting that best of plays, "The aat, in the intensity of its situa tions. Then, too, the locale of the story is a deserted country house. In the case of "The Cat and the Ca nary" the sole occupant is an old ne- gress, a sort of Voodoo woman. For 20 years no one has come into the house, and when the scene opens it is being used for the reading of the will of a rich but eccentric old man. Fancy 12 o'clock in a spooky, de serted house! Doesn't it thrill you a little There are many more spooky moments during the progress of the play, and the new production prom ises to be one of the big money makers of the season. Henry Hull plays the hero. He was last seen in Portland four or five years ago in the original company of "The Man Who Came Back." Since then he has played the part in London and then settled down as a Broadway leading man. He, was in one failure earlier in the season, but seems destined for a long stay in town this time. Flor ence Eldridge, a young actress whose work in "Ambush" was so highly praised, is th heroine and that clever character actress, Blanche Frederici (last seen on Broadway in "39 East," in which Henry Hull also appeared) has a role that g,ives her fine ability a wide scope. She is the Voodoo woman and her best friends would never recognize her in the grotesque makeup. Indian Oil Killing Made. BILLINGS, Mont.

To be a night - clerk in a wide awake hotel on New Year's eve was the height of Ikie Leschinski's am bition, and by persistence he achieved his goal. He i3 revealed in the title role of "The Might Clerk," witn which the Lyric musical comedy com pany win entertain its patrons .aur- ing the. week, opening with tne mat inee this afternoon. "The Night Clerk is a complete musical comedy, yet it is said to con tain many of the elements of drama that set it apart. It introduces Ben Dillon in the role of a hotel engi neer, with Al Franks as Ikie, the clerk, and Eddie Wright as Rafael Iny Blotz, an artist and a freak of nature. These merrymakers are aided and abetted by the other principals and by the Rosebud chorus, whose mem bers will be called upon to present some especially interesting dance and song numbers. The Lyric trio also will be prominently present. Dot Raymond, leading woman, will enact the role of a millionaire's daughter who gets into an. apparently hope less mixup of affections when her suitor. Jarvis Huntington, portrayed by Howard Evans, replaced Ikie at the night desk and Ikie is forced to advance the conquest of heart, much to the disgust of the heiress. Billie Bingham as the telephone girl at the hotel and the object of Ikle's real affections, has an interesting part. The millionaire is Duke Gilke son and Clare Heath is an impertinent "cop," everlastingly trying to arrest Jarvis for his part in the New Tear's eve party. But everything turns out right-side up and all hearts are mended with laughter. Tosti's "Good-bye," sung by Heath, will be one of the week's song spe cialties. Evans will sing "Albama Jamboree," and LaVelle will sing "Mandy 'n Me." Miss Raymond's solo is "Three o'clock in the Morning," Billie Bingham sings "Stop Ticklin Me," and "Keep Off the Grass" will be sung by Anna Chick. refused what my friends called good chances and was considered a man hater.

Hall, who is temporarily playing leading roles with the popular Baker company in the absence of Selmar Jackson, will again be cast as Yon Yonson and opposite him as the pret ty heroine is Miss Leona Powers.
