TII2 "OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. TUESDAY : EVENING, DECEMBER 6. ' 1910. FOSlSlii . VAUDBiLLE BILL Comedy and Drama Features of Program atOrpheum N . .' This Week. By A. L. There Is no Question about the ne bill at tha Orpheum this . week. It lo rood. Even if ths first act. "A Chance for , Three," is bo atrociously tad that it becomes fun nr. and two other -acts are only mildly interesting, yet there are so many good turns that when the final curtain falls the audience goes home with the eelf-satlsfled feeling Of havinar seen a "bully show." ' The ' stellar position belongs to Ed win Arden & eo., presenting- fCaptaln Velvet" as intense and dramatic an or faring of the sort as has been seen this season. Captain Velvet, an outlaw and road agent on tha southern California ' boundary, kills the man who ensnared bis sistar and caused her death or named and broken heart The fiancee f the man learns the manner of his death' and lure -Velvet to her home and trap him. Then she learn -why Velvet killed him and that Velvet has Jong oved her. from afar. Of cowss, she saves bim, and he goei with tha promise to ride back for her soon. ; v Mr- Arden is an actor of treat eapa- bllltles and wide experience, both of which are seen In bis striking picture ; of Captain Velvet ; Hls-.powe lies In his very quietness, which Is in marked contrast to the ; fiery work of " Miss Olive Templeton, who so ably supports him. - The remainder of his support and the scenery are In. keeping wjti the ex cellence of the act - Maud Koches "A Night In a Monkey Hall" Is a tremendous hit.'

The trouble arosebeeause the counter weights and the lift were too evenly balanced, due to a mistake In the calcu lations, and it was feared that the lift might ascend without, the assistance of power and at some awkward moment Air drills ha-e been used in the work of cutting off a section from each of the huge weights and night and day forces have. been, at work.. v-,,.,-, 't.sv "It is rather difficult to say just when MM M PREPARE FOR B7 BRIDGE If Ell SATURDAY i I we can open the bridge until we are sure that the counterweights are of the proper size," said A. S. Eldridge, vice president of the United Engineering & Construction, company, this morning. "This will not be known until the en gineers have made their tests. The al tering of the counterweights has also delayed us in some of the other work, such as doing the eletrlo wiring on the lift While the counterweights were be ing' cut off they -were dropped to, the level of the bridge floor and this' took the lift up, preventing us from working upon It "If all goes well during the next few days, however, I should say we will be able to open the span to the publlo on Friday or Saturday.". 4 Y;- t ' i.i ' ' i ii. .I .

It puts flesh on -those who have been always thin, Whether from disease . or , natural . tendency - or those who by heavy eating and diet have In vain tried to Increase: on those . who feel well but . can't get fat; and on those who have tried every known meth od in vain. It Is a powerful aid to dt gestion, nutrition and assimilation. It assists the blood and nerves . to dis tribute all over the body the flesh ele ments contained In food, and gives the thin person the same absorbing qualities possessed by the naturally fleshy. Everybody is about the same, but certain elements and organs of blood and nerves are deficient and until this Is corrected thin people will stay thin, The. nutrition stays In the body after separation by the digestive functions instead of passing through unused, when this valuable treatment of blended med tallies Is used, - Practically no one can remain thin who uses it for it supplies the long felt need.
