' ' ' , i j; Kiss ZJoyd Ons tar There possibly is no more popular star who comes to Portland than dainty Alice Lloyd, the international ' enter tainer, and tonight she will put forth her best boot-jolly-old English way of saying it,' you know. ? Aside from ap pearing at i the Orpheum s theatre and Belling Red Croes seals to help the antl iuberculosfs campaign, Miss Lloyd has found time to prepare some numbers for the Press club show and to take a profound interest in the fete. No less enthusiastic is Miss' Grace A. Cameron, star of "Nancy": at the Bungalow, From that experience She has garnered in successes like "Dolly Dimples," Tiff, Paff, Pouf." -The Tenderfoot" and "The Goose Girl" Miss Cameron will draw for material this evening. , " i 1 , Charles Leonard Fletcher, well known to theatre goers , In . addition to his charming, audacious "Nerve , at the Orpheum last week, will be among those present, as will the Great Pclham, grand master of the gentle and mys terious art of, hypnotic science.

Another local number will bo that fur nished by Jimmy Deveaux, who, when he was In college, got tha Dnstln Farnum-Frank Daniels-Ds wolf Hopper award. .-,,;: i-ir-Sy' i ;'j Artists who appear In the n tor tarn- men t, members of the Press crab, their wives and gueaU of ths evening, will t the guests of the Press cltro at sup per In the Hotel Portland grill follow- lowing the performance. - CONSIDER .C.C.TO , REPARATION CLAIMS Chicago, Dec 1. Interstate Com merce Commissioner Edgar E. Clark, ar rived in Chicago today to conduct a hearing In '. thf : so called , Burnham Hanna-Munger caa. This is also known as the Missouri river rate case, and alcer It was begun the Interstate com merce commission, in accordance With evidence that had been introduced, re duced freight rates from the Atlantic seaboard to 'the Missouri river. Litiga tion ensued and the reduction in rates was suspended until November l6 last Reparation claims aggregating more than $100,000 have already been filed with the commission under its decision reducing rates. A typical case" is that of the William Warnock company of Sioux City, Iowa, against the Chicago & Northwestern Railway company. Repa ration is demanded on all shipments of class freights from the east to Sioux City during tms period of the commis sion's original order. Tha reduction, which was sustained by the United States supreme court, amounted to I cents a hundred pounds on first class freight, the reductions on classes being from a 69 cent scale to a &i cent scaie. The Interstate commerce commission has received to date nearly 800 claims In reparation. About 450 of them apply to shipments originating in Atlantic seaboard and eastern trunk line terri tories, about 00 to shipments originat ing at various point east of the Mis sisslppl river and north of the Ohio, and the remainder are on shipments origi nating In the Central Freight associa tion and southeastern territories." In addition to the claims already on file, other claims .will be presented and the likelihood is that eventually the aggre gate svlll be la the i neighborhood of S250.000. Final disposition of these claims will probably hinge upon tjle re sult of the Burnham-Hanna-Mungor case,, which is to be heard here this week by , Commissioner Clark. - TRAPPER LOST; KILLED ' BY WOLVES IS VERSION Rtwll Dlioatth to Jnnrnal.li Lebanon, Or., Dec 19. -Word baa been received of tha disappearance of Thomas Bond In the mountains about 25 miles above this city, Bond and, a man named Bush were camping In a hut m the mountains and Tuesday, De cember t Bond went across the creek to see about some traps and has not been seen since. A nosse of men joined in. the hunt for, Bond and kept It up for five days. A man's tracks that are supposed to be those of Bond were found that led back up into the snow and were tracked back to within a mile of the camp but were there lost. The general opinion is that be attempt ed to cross the river to get back to his camp and fell Jn and was drowned. Some think wolvos have attacked him and got away With his body. But little Is known of Bond here. He came to this country from southern Oregon last spring and worked in the harvest field around here during the summer, go ing Hp into the mountains this fall with his friend Bush to spend the win ter in trapping. He was about SO years of age and came to Oregon from New Tork about two years ago. It la said he bad some money In one of the banks of this city. , ,. u COMEDY IN TWO PLAYS KEEPS THEATRE CROWDS IN GOOD HUMOR 'Charley's Aunt," Now at the Baker, Sparkles With Wit and Good Acting. Henry Stockbridge, in feminine togs. with a lot of cheeky effervescence and nervous old - lady excitability. Is the chief attraction at the Baker theatre this week. "Charles's Aunt" Is the reason for the pretended femininity. Everybody has seen the (three-act far cical comedy at aome time or other, and everybody always has a rollicking good time, i "Charley's Aunt" la a Jolly. noisy concoction of Jokes, mislaid in tentions and rapid denouements, with a plot that Is quickly unwound. A big audience laughed, chuckled, cackled and uttered , yesterday afternoon, which, after all, Is the real t&t of approval The play . is well acted and hand somely staged. , The settings, ranging from college boys' rooms at Oxford, to an excluieve drawing room, are a pic torial delight. Henry Stockbrldge is one of the moet popular members ' of the Baaer. players, and deservedly so. The little comedian plays t Wlth vim and vigor that commands , attention. AS Lord Fancourt Babberley, his lively action and comedy antics kept the on lookers in a ferment of excitement In an eccentric character perfor mance, John ' Burton is capital, much of the excellence of the part being in the way Mr. Burton delivers it Miss Mabel Cameron In a minor role was a dream of beauty, so dainty withal, and so fascinating. Anything that this charming actress might attempt could not be otherwise than appealing. Slonder and girlish in appearance, she was a delight in adorable color schemes of sartorial display. Thomas MacLarnle was rather heavy and uncertain In the role of Jack Ches ney, while Thomas Kraeger as Charley Wykeham was successful enough in depicting a vividly brown undergrad uate., Miss Beatrice Nichols played Amy Spettlgue. A little closer atten tion to the gowning' of this part would not be amiss. As tha . companion of Miss Cameron, effective gowning is essential. ';'" ' Miss Lillian Andrews was Donna Lucia CAlcadoree, the real aunt Miss Andrews played with unusual delicacy of sentiment Her gowns were of Bra zilian hue. . : Miss Rhea Mitchell ap peared with such charm as Ella De la hay that her little part was big for the moment William Wolbert as Bras sett furnished . many i neat comedy touches. Walter Renfort ' completed the cast : v.'; i , . Grace Cameron Carries 'Away Honors In "Nancy"; Her .Singing Makes Hit The prophets have "come back" and the presa.-agents have redeemed them selves, even in their own country. All of which means that charming Grace Cameron, who made her first appear ance ere in "Nancy", at the Bungalow theatre last flight was a gladsome sur prise to the Jaded reporters of the "drama," surfeited as they are, with the promises of advance advertising. Miss Cameron was under the calciums most of the time during the four aets and her audience was sorry she had to leave even for a minute. It laughed when the winsome actress laughed and cried when she did, but the laughs were many and tears few.--' v; "Nancy is a rural story, not greatly unlike a Hundred others of the Ok la this instance, the play is certainly not the thing? It's the way It Is acted. The heroine Is the stepdaughter of a rough old scratching farmer whose habitat is a barren patch of ground hear New TOrk City. , The little girt has never known ; a mother's love. her mother having died when Nancy was to young to know of her loss. The little girl loves the old farmer with all the strength of a heart starved by neglect and indlferehoe. r 'A:;'' '! : -!. The object of the child's affections however, spurns her advances on every occasion and squanders his thoughts on her stepsister, Flora, who has gone to the "city" and is In "saesletr It turns out later in the play that Flora never saw any more of "sasslaty than the glimpses she could get of It from the rank of a chorus In a near, theatre. Flora comes back to the old home to Bpend Christmas. She needs some money and .she steals a family heirloom and takes the next train away from the vil lage. The farmer accuses Nancy of the theft and drives her out Into the night and storm. Miss Cameron makes of this a very pathetic scene in spite of the antiquity of the Idea. Be sides being character delineator of the exceptional merit Miss Cameron is the owner of a remarkably Sweet voice. Her songs were encored re peatedly. There never has been & fun nier topical hit than her "If Adam Hadn't Been Introduced to Eve." Without Miss Cameron "Nancy" woudn't be anything at all. The other characters are Just fillers In and the less obtrusively they fill Jut the better it suits the audience. Reglso-ld Vanderbilt Congratulated. - New York, Dec H.
