It was written by Leo Ditrlchsteln and
played by him In the beginning. While
the plot is very simple, the situations
that arise are a maze of complexity and
mixup. A young married man, whose
wife has been away a month, suddenly
finds himself convicted of spending his
long evenings out, and kills two birds
with one stone by saying he has Joined
the Masons which has been the wish of
her heart and has been becoming ini
tiated Into the mysteries of the great
order. But his father-in-law who has
become infatuated with the great Amer
ican frame of poker, in order to get his
evenings from home tells his wife that
he also Is joining the Masons. The hil

two together and spring the news that
they are brother Masons, Each thlnk

Belasco Act at Orpheum.
Especially attractive Is the bill as
sembled at the Orpheum for Elks' con
vention wpek. "The Drums of Oude,"
presented for the firsU.tlme In America
under the direction of David Belasco,
Is the headline act; Iew Sully, famous
minstrel, occupies second place; Edna
I.uby, who is ranked high as a mimic,
Is third and the other five numbers on
the holiday program are stellar.
Presented dally In London for two
years, "The Drums of Oude," Is re
garded as a stage triumph. The little
drama Is based on the Sepoy Rebellion
of 1857. As an Instance of the tense
Interest one of the sitautlons is the
stamping out by a woman of a lighted
fuse leading to a powder magazine Just
ae the bugles, of a rescuing regiment
are heard. Miss Eleanor Scott L'Estelle,
who took part In the original production.
In London, holds the only feminine role
In the piece and E- J- Ratcllffe, also
an English actor of note, is the leading
man. Real Hindus are engaged to por
tray the part of mutineers who planned
the massacre and thetr stage leader Is
W. S. Phillips, a Portland boy. "The
Drums of Oude" company carries its
own Bcenery, which has been lauded by
reviewers as magnificent, the lighting
effects are marvelous and the whole
piece Is marked by the attention to de
tail for which Its producer, the noted
BelascO, la famous.
Lew Sully will appear in "Feminine
Fads." an original creation In which a
burlesque of the vaudeville act of Alice
Lolyd Is featured. Sully weighs 300
pounds and newspaper critics all along
the Orepheum circuit have said that he
causes a laugh for every ounce of his
weight.
Edna Luby is conspicuous In the stage
worM not only as a mimic, but also as
an actress. Miss Luby will Imitate sev
eral prominent actresses the mannerisms
ot whom she has down pat. Miss Luby
bears a striking resemblance .to Edna
May and frequently has been mistaken
for that actress.
Stein. Hume and Thomas will be

of which is "Play a Piece for Papa on

Arab Act at Empress.
For Elks' convention week Sulllcan &
Considlne are sending one of the "best
shows on earth" to the Empress. For
the top of the new bill, which starts
Monday afternoon, the management an
nounces a troupe of 11 Arab acrobats.
This is the largest Arab troupe that has
made a tour in vaudeville and It Is one
of thf largest ever brought to this
country. These Arabs are out of the
ordinary as acrobats and they have a
series of fearless feats such as have
never been seen on a local stage. Their
whirlwind maneuvers and pyramid
building will be a revelation.
One of the best of the card manipula
tors before the public is Herbert Brooks,
who has something brand new in card
trickery. For the finish of his act he
does a trunk mystery that keeps the
audience guessing. Brooks is locked jn
a small trunk, which Is then covered
with canvas and placed in a cabinet; In
six seconds he reappears and there Is
no trace of how he got out.
Among the comedians In "The Mid
night Sons" was John T. Murray. He is
an English entertainer. Mr. Murray will
come to the Empress the ensuing week
bringing a collection of new songs and
he is reported as being a hit.
"Two Little Rubles" is the title of the
sketch of Delnhart and Heritage. The
plot tells of a newly married couple in
which tho bride mistakes a gem for
Ruby, the name of her husband's for
mer swe.thcart. The situations are
aniuBlng and the playlet Is full of laugh
ter. Irene and Bobble Smith are winning
girls who have a dancing and singing
act that has won for them many compll
mentB. Their characterizations have
bten hits.
The K'rages Trio, two men and a wo
mm, supply the thrill of the bill. They
come from Europe and perform In mid
air, giving some reckless feats.
Sunday's shows close the bill with
"High Life in Jail." "The Chalk Line,"
Ollvottl Troubadors, Mclntyro and
Grove, Harry Cutler and the Four Ma
yos. Big Bill at Pantages.
What promises to be a big bill will
hold the boards at Pantages for the
week commencing with the matinee to
morrow at 2:30 when Miss Carlyle Lowe
and her Seven Aviator Girls will make
their first Portland appearance In a
smart, dashing musical melange, the
topllned act on the program. A oordtal
invitation is extended to visitors to in

in Parisian modes. A large musical
company will be seen in support of the
charming comedienne and many musical
numbers will be Introduced.
For the especial benefit of the visi
tors from the east, Manager Johnson
has reengaged the "Barefoot Texas
Tommy Dancers," the greatest novelty
'Portland has seen for many months.
The act Is returned at public demand,
and it will appeal particularly to those
from the Atlantic seaboard where the
latest version of the dance has not been
witnessed.
Si Jenks, late stellar comedian with
the "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" com
pany, Is another of the big drawing
cards on the program. Few greater de
lineators of "Rube" characters has ever
appeared in public than Mr. Jenks and
his quaint style of entertainment makes
him extremely popular.
The Four Harmonious Girls have an
act that delights. Their singing is ex
cellent and their selections have such a
wide range that they succeed In pleas
ing all. One of the numbers, a violin
solo. Is' wonderfully beautiful.
The Ausonla. Trio depict Roman glad
iators In the opening of their act, anj
conclude the performance with some
sensational feats of ground acrobatics
and head and hand balancing. The Au
sonlas work fast and cleverly.
William Morrow and his company of
able players will be seen in the laugh
ing success "Happy's Millions." Mr.
Morrow is most happily cast, and his
support Is excellent. The Pantagescope

the imprisonment of a wealthy young
man in a high tower, and his deliver
ance through a dove which flies out
from the tower with a message to the
outside world, to come and rescue the
