N "Be Careful, Dearie," which is B coming to tlfe Hellig in a few weeks, are two person who will interest Portlandeirs. One is Eddie Sedan, wlio was a member- of the Alcazar musical stock company three seasons ago. Eddie 'has changed his ; name to Rolfe Sedam and is playing th role of the junior p'artner in a firm whose activities providw the plot of the play. The other personage who will in- terest us is Miss Evan Burrows Fon taine, the dancer, whose affairs have been of 'front-page importance for several months. Her suit against "Somny" Whitney, scion of a wealthy New Tork family, is now to progress. Miss Fontaine plays a role In the musical farce. "Be Careful, Dearie.' and also does a danoe or two. "Three Wise Fools," a comedy of mirth amd mystery, opens at the Heilig next Thursday night. When this interesting play was in. Port land a year a-go Cluude Gillingwater played' the leading roie. This year Tom Wise, who is tne of the best beloved and popular comedians be fore the public, is .playing the role and everywhere 'ho has given it the part is being aoclaimed as one of th finest ohaxacteariza.tions b lhas over portrayed. The play js a ae llghtful one, appealing, human and most Interesting. A fascltraUng person who will be in our midst next week is Mary Mar. bio of tho one-time famous team of Sam Chip and Mary Marble. Miss Marble's husband, John Dunne, manager of the company of "Three Wiw Fools and tho charming come dlenno is itouringth-e country instead of playtaig this year. Last season she headlined in vaudeville in smart sketch and could have toured th circuit again had she so desired but sho chose instead to travel with h r husband. The death of Sam Chip a few years ago was a great blow to both Miss Marble- and Mr. Dunne and for aiseason or so the comedienne did not return to the stage. While they ara in Portland Mr. Dunne and Mna. Dunne will be entertained by frtemds. Far tlm three days of its season in Portland, opening with, the matinee today, the Orpheum programme at the Hellig theater will present three distinct headline acts, totally aside from an added attraction and the usually supplementary numbers. The headlinero are Creasy and Davne in their new slciit. "Without a Will There's- a Way" ; Bill Bailey and Lynn Gown, with - Eistelle Davis, in the second edition of "The Little Produotlon,M and Ivan Bankoff. cele brated Russian dancer, in an act he calls "The Dance Master." He is as sisted by Beth Cannon. The added attraction is provided by Sevan and Flint and Is called "A Slight Interruption," an arrange ment of comedy, talk and songs. Other acts on the new bill are those of Simpson and Dean in "Chop SCewy," KaroJl brothers in a Pari sian novelty act and Bessye Clifford In "Art Impressions." In 'Wenatohee, Wash., Katherine Graham, Portland girl, is receiving praise from public and press for her clever dramatic work as leading woman with the Siegel Stock com pany. In a recent edition one of the papers in Wenatchee published the following interview with Miss Graham: "I have often been asked what preparations I would advise a girl, who . contemplated going on the stage, to make, said Miss Katherine Graham, leading lady for the Siegel Stock company, during the course of ar. interview. "Well, in the first place she should be morally strong, for the stage has more temptations than any other profession and one who cannot fight the temptations wh'ca come across her path will soon find herself left beside the road which leads to success." "Then." continued Miss Graham, "she must be a worker. She must be willing to sacrifice pleasure to her- art at all times. She should take up French, fencing', theatrical dancing and if possible, music. "Literature is also a great aid." said Miss Graham, "and of course one must have artistic temperament and a certain amount of 'ability,. but, truth to tell, it's work that gets one 1 From a Chicago paper is taken this account of another Portland girl's work. She is Mildred Keats, a youthful dancer, who went east a few years ago and has made good. She is appearing in Al Jolson's latest show "Bombo" and will come west in the spring with Mr. Jolson's com pany. The review sneaks a. bit about Al, saying among other things: "Out in Walla Walla and places ef like size, Al says they come' to see him, but they all think he can't be very good or he would not be in a place so small. "It's all Jolson'while he's on the stage. But do not think that he' is the whole show. The Shuberts never put out a more gorgeous entertain ment. The beauty and talent of Miss Mildred Keats is an outstanding fea ture. She is a vibrant reminder of spring and youth. She makes real atmosphere for the evening in which Gus gets over such sentiment aa 'It is not raining rain, it's raining violets.1 " Miss Keats' dancing is a poem of gracefulness and her songs are beautiful. Xo doubt in the near fu ture she will be starred in some show written especially for her. The "Horse Trot," a Mildred Keats number, was one of the many high spots of the performance. Brindamour," well-known escape artist at the Hippodrome, gained attention- by jumping into the Chicago river, manacled, in the middle of winter, removing his manacles while under the water in record time. Speed s the keynote of his act and the manner in which he escapes from all forms of leg and hand irons is Dewiiaering. This artist has ap peared in all the civilized countries of the world. Mr. Jolson, by the way. has mar ried again. His bride is Alma Os borne, whose home is near Easton, Pa. She is better known to Broad way as Ethel Dclmar. The comedian made a desperate effort to throw interviewers off the trail, but when the news leaked out, newspaper representatives asked for verification of the report. "It's a lie," said the comedian quickly, "a nasty story that is un called for. I am not married posi tively. It's undoubtedly the result of a lUtle birthday joke." - He even pressed his denial so far as to say that he still held a deep affection for his ex-wife. Neither Jolson nor his press agent would say where and when the mar riage took place. Miss Osborne is described as a brunette of striking beauty. She is small In stature and 22 years of age. Jolson's real name is Asa Toelson. He worked his way to his present prominence as an entertainer from an early boyhood of singing on the streets and in restaurants for pen nies. Today he is classed as the highest salaried comedian in vaude ville. - The new home of the Lyric Musi cal comedy will be at the former Baker on Eleventh and Morrison streets. To make the premier auspicious and present the entirely new cast in .formal introduction to Portland, tuneful offering under the cap tion "This Way Out" has been se lected as the first offering. It is said to be one of the brightest of the newer musical revues, which assures it a welcome from the regular Lyric patrons. The new company shows many novelty features as well as numerous people entirely new to Portland. The Pacific Four, a quartet of harmon ists, are one of the surprises. The Friday night chorus contest will be retained as a feature each week and the Country Store will be presented each Tuesday night. The feminine roles will be well taken care of with Marie Rich ap pearing as prima donna. Evelyn du Fresne as soubrette .and Mira Mc Kinney as character woman. Karry Harngan. late of Davis and Karrigan, producing managers from j California, is to head the comedian Great Mystic to- ltemain Another Meek at I'antages Theater. Alexander, "The Man Who Knows," will remain at the Pantages for another week. All records for at tendance have been broken by Alex ander, and the arrangements for his second week in Portland were com pleted by telegram with Alexander Pantages. Surrounded by an en tirely new show, the mystic will begin his second week with tb matinee tomorrow. Although this is the third visit of Alexander to Portland, his popu larity has increased. He never be fore had appeared in vaudeville until he began his present tour for Mr. Pantages and the engagement has been a sensation. House rec ords have been broken in virtually every- city. Alexander will open his -performance with new dance specialties presented by Mile. Valeska and the Nartell twins, and will repeat his famous slate' writing demonstra tions, "spirit paintings," and Simla seance. With Alexander will be standard Pantages vaudeville acts, including Jean and Valjean. In "Oh.

With such an array of principals, chorus and stage effects the formal opening in the new Baker theater is of interest and would seem to usher in a gala season for the Keating & Flood enterprise. "3 WISE FOOLS" IS TRIUMPH Clever Comedy Headed by Fa mous Tom Wise Attraction. Tom Wise, in the international success, "Three Wise Fools," is scheduled for the Heilig theater, for an engagement of three days, com mencing next Thursday, with a special-price matinee Saturday. This play, which was brought out several seasons ago by John Golden, already has been played in several lan guages. Iits triumph has been only second to that of "Lightnin," which is under the same management, and at the Heilig. Season before last it played to capacity business. The company is now on a trip, from coast to coast, and with Mr. Wise in the stellar role its success is as sured. "Three Wise Fools" is a comedy of mirth and mystery. It is by Austin Strong and has been written with a skill that is rare. Three old codgers, a gruff, hard headed finan cier, a benign old doctor and a judge keep solemn state in their refrigerator home. They are all bachelors, having loveo. and lost the same girl years before. To them comes the' daughter of this woman, a beautiful girl of 18, and she re adjusts their mode of living in a most startling manner. But the play is not founded on sentiment alone, for a clever crook figures in the plot; also a forger, who has been unjustly accused. The unraveling of the mystery holds the interest to the very finish. The play is a masterful and bril liant blending ' of ' laughter and tears. It has moments when the audience is overcome with laughter, followed by those when a lump rises in the throat and tears tremble in the eyes. MUSICAL PLAY IS BOOKED "Be Careful, Dearie," New York Sens-ation, to Show Here. "Be Careful, Dearie." heralded as the funniest, most melodic and most beautiful musical play seen on- the Pacific coast in years, comes with its entire New York personnel to the Heilig theater October 18, 19. 20 and 21. Aaron Hoffman, its author, is known as one of the three most successful writers of comedy of the present day stage. He is the author of "Nothing' but Lies" and "Nothing but the Truth." William Collier's starring plays of "Welcome, Stran gers," one of the current New York LitB, and many others. Victor Schertzinger, the composer, is said to be the most important discovery in his field in a decade. Staged by Alcnzo Price, for 10 vears creator of similar shows for Savage and Hammerstein of New York, "Be Carefil, Dearie," is pre sented by a new impresario, Dana Hayes, who has given the piece a production of starting speed, pic torial charm and dancing delight. In the cast are numerous dancers and singers of the first rank. One of these is Evan Burrows Fontaine, much discussed in the newspapers of late, but long before that known as a dancer of such beauty and skill that she has been featured in Ziegfeld's "Follies" and Midnight Revue." CRESSY AJVD DAYXE RETURN Xew Orpheum Show Headlined by Three Excellent Features. Three headline acts and an extra added attraction top what promises to be the best Orpheum vaudeville programme of the season, opening at the Heilig theater this afternoon. The honors go to Will M. Cressy and Blanche Dayne in "Without a Will There's a Way," Mr. Cressy's latest skit; to Ivan Bankoff, with Beth Cannon, In "The Dancing Master," and to Bailey and Cowan, with Estelle Davis, tn "The Little Production." The added attraction is offered by Ralph C. Bevan and Beatrice Flint in "A Slight Inter ruption." Other acts on this star programme are "Chop Stewy," a comedy. skit presented by Fannie Simpson and Earl Dean; a Parisian novelty act with the Koroli brothers and Bessye Clifford In ."Art Impressions." In addition there will be George Jef frey's Orpheum orchestra, Pathe news, Aesop's Fables and Topics of the tfay. The famous team of Cressy and Dayne has a brand new act, which presents this successful pair of entertainers In a new light, with Cressy as a village referee In a country law office and Miss Dayne as a plaintiff from the city. Marlon Hodges, listed as "still more plain tiff," is a country girl. For 22 years Cressy and Dayne have -been vaudeville headliners and it is said that their present act is far and away ahead of anything they have had. Bailey and Cowan bring back Bill Bailey's wicked banjo and Lynn Cowan's fiery piano playing, and with them comes the Titian-haired beauty, Estelle Davis. In Europe thi sact was a sensation. Bankoff. one of the foremost ex ponents of Russian dancing to be seen in America and a graduate of the imperial Russian ballet school, presents an act which is Just what the title implies. The attraction presented by Bevan and Flint is the private brand of comedy, talk and songs retailed by this team of funsters. The talk is interrupted by song and the song by talk and there is much of per sonality about the entire act. The new Orpheum show will close, LYRIC WILL OPEN SEASON "This Way Out" Will .Usher Musical Attractions. "This Way Out" ushers in the 1922-23 season of musical stock at- i tractions for Portland, with the I t.vt-io Mimical Comedy company an- I pearing at the Baker theater at Eleventh and Morrison.
