HIPPODROME standard attractions
are on the bill for the three day
starting; this afternoon at that new
and popular playhouse. The coming
bill is a hummer, judging from the
reception the acts have had in other
cities on their way to Portland.
It la hard to pick a headllner. the
acts are all so uniformly good. There
1 a wonderfully trained baboon that
-v does , uncanny stunts, and his trainer,
p.Pedrlnl, has developed an almost hu
I ywuv. appearance and intelligence in
this sagacious animal. Because he Is
such a remarkable baboon, the man
agement has arranged a special treat
for the kiddles and a reception will
be given them on the stage by the
baboon Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The animal will hand out his photo
graphs to the little ones.
Momman, Gordon and Vance form
the 1916 Model Trio. This, Is a strong
amusement combination. Miss Phyllis
Gordon has a song that goes big,
"Are You Half the Man Your Mother
Thought You'd Ue?V
"A Garden of Harmony" Is pre
sented by the Three Musical Stew
; arts. This act la full of surprising
novelties and they are all good.
Jan.; O'Kourke will entertain with
a ktch entitled "As It Was." This
1m a clever bit of dramatics that will
please.
Kay and Wynn have an act best
desi-rlbed as "Nifty Splatters of Song
ami Chatter." Clever singing and danc.
InK numbers make up this offering.
The Baltus Trio have senHatlonal
and comedy acrobatics, the entertain
ment being of a character that ap
peals to all ages and conditions.
At the Hippodrome the vaudeville
acts are but half the show, for six
reels of first run photoplays are th
! rule of the house, In addition to the
other acts. Another episode in the
thrilling series, "Who's Guilty?" will
be shown, and all who saw the start
of this picture. last week want to fol
low it along and watch it develop.
In addition there will be other fea
. ture fMms giving comedies and scenlo
., educational pictures' of high class.
Hippodrome shows start at 1 p. m.
' dally and run until 11, with complete
changes of bill on Wednesday and
Sunday.
"Real comedians" is the word that
comes in advance of Burkhart and
Edwards, the two "loop hounds" who
will entertain 3 1 rand audiences with
the new bill beginning this afternoon.
A "loop hound" Is strictly a Chi
cago animal a biped who spends
much of his time, either because he
ha, to, or because he likes to, in the
big downtown district known as "the
loop."
Burkhart and Edwards are a pair of
clubmen who are "out "looping the
loop." They have songs that are said
to be so new that they haven't been
stolen by other acts, and their" Jokes
are of the latest Chicago model.
Decidedly different from the usual
ventrlloquial offering will bs Nan
Alter and company. Mis Aker pre
; sent a brief farce comedy, scene laid
In a country depot, and makes a
whole crowd of characters say some
very funny things.
A clever song and patter team is
t La Salle and Pankinl, the latter a
comely young woman with a sweet
voice and some nice' new gowns.
Prevost and Goulet have been mak
' Ing a hit all along -the Pacific photo
v vllle circuit with their comedy acro
s; batlc number. One plays a messen
i ger boy role and achieves a laughable
charactcrttmtlon.

wnen Winston's notable act is "pre
sented as the featured attraction.
The act is the most remarkable of
It e sort In vaudeville. There are two
fclrls who are wonderful swimmers.
They perform all sorts of feats under
water and 'the five huge Hons follow
theni through the routine. There are
no mirrors used in the production, the
audli-nre looking directly upon the ex
hibition through the heavy plate
glass.
As a special attraction of merit, the
Bix Screnaders have been booked.
Their songs have been the talk of
vaudeville where they are billed as thj
de luxe offering of the song world.
Julia Rooney, Pat Rooney's clever
BlBter, and Walter Clinton have a
dandy little entertainment entitled
"What Everybody Likes," in which
dancing Is the predominating feature.
Miss Rooney also offers an amusing
impersonation of her comedian brother.
Richard Wally Is not only a re
markable Juggler but he is one of the
best trick bijllardists and his per
formance will be enjoyed.
Roach and McCurdy are most enjoy

Morris Golden proves himself a de

eighth episode It grows mors thrtll-

be featured by the Pantages' orchestra
Under the directioh of H. K. Evenson.

Mansfield Featured
Mistake of Actor
Now that Arnold Daly has revived
"Beau Brummel," various anecdotes
of the late Richard Mansfield, who
created the title role, are being re
called. W. J. Ferguson, who acted the
valet In ths original production and
who Is now one of the pirates in
"Treasure Island," has remembered
one.
In the character of the valet It was
Ferguson's place to hand the Beau his
gloves, his stick, and finally his hat.
I'pon the opening night he, proffered
the hat to Mansfield, turned the wrong
way around. Had the Beau put on
the hat in the way" it was handed to
him and strolled down Piccadilly or
Bond street, the faux pas might have
created a scandal. When Ferguson
discovered his error he turned pale
under his makeup.

As Mansfield put on the hat and

to Ferguson: "That's a good piece of

OTIS SKINNER, one of the dis
tinguished actors on the Ameri
can stage, will give local theatre
gores a treat when he appears at the
Heilig Monday. Tuesday and Wednes
day In "Cock o' the Walk," the comedy
written expressly for him by Henry
Arthur Jones. The piece is described
as a "comedy of character and situa
tion," and, in writing about it, Mr.
Jones accomplished the dual purpose
of poking fun at his friends, the
knighted actor-managers of London,
and of fitting Mr. Skinner with a
role exactly suited to his personality.
Mr. Skinner impersonates Anthony
Beilchamber, familiarly known as
Tony," an actor of the "old school,"
who loves his profession and its tra
ditions and adores "Will" Shakespeare,
whom he can spout--and does on all
occasions. Tony la the Bohemian
thesplan who has almost, but not
quite, become extinct in this country,
but who still flourishes in rural Eng
land. He is a genial rogue, irre
sponsible, bibulous, with a sense of
humor and always lovable.
He wants to play Othello at a Shake,
speare tercentennary In London and
the way he gets the chance to do it
provides the material for the plot of
the comedy. Tony, of course, is the
central figure of the play, but there
are many other characters each a
study, splendidly drawn and brilliant
ly colored and there are humorous
situations and witty lines galore. And
the supporting company, carefully se
lected and of the best, Includes Janet
Dunbar, Enid Bennett, Luella Smith,
Walter Glbbs, Walter F. Scott, John
Rogers, Harry Dodd, Henry Crocker
and Ernest A. Elton.
May Robson, renowned International
comedienne and who is really a pro
duct ofthe west coast, is to play a
three days' engagement at the Heilig
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with
matinee Saturday, tendering us her
clever comedy "The Making Over of
Mrs. Matt," for the first time here.
Miss Robson as "Mrs. Matt" brims
with cleverness, sparkles with wit and
scintillates with the Joy of living, In
that she in the character tells homoli
gies that are worth listening to, dis
penses truths that every father should
be told often offers suggestions that
would make every boy think more of
his mother and incidentally gives to
her audiences a feeling that they are
better men and women for having
viewed her clever impersonation of the.
true, honest, hard working housewife
who wants to grow old gracefully and
at peace with all mankind.
There is a joy and a delight, also
a laugh and a sob in nearly every
line that "Mrs. Matt" utters, yet the
comedy element prevails and the love
Interest holds sway from the first
rise to the final fall of the curtain.
It has been years, probably, since a
story that has no problem, yet teaches
life's lesson eo tersely has held the
boards.
Miss Robson's company is satisfying
and her production thoroughly ade
quate to give the proper eclat to her
well chosen comedy.
The Alhambra Musical Comedy com
pany at the Lyrio theatre will pre
sent for their second weeks' engage
ment a comedy called "The Northern
er," with nlenty of comedy lines, funny
situations and clever song hits. The
personnel of the new company is well
liked by the Lyrio patrons. They
made a decided impression durins
their first week and will no doubt hold
the boards for some time at this pop
ular home of musical comedy. The
large cast of principals, including
Chole Bell. Francis Williamson, Bar
bara Haaland, Donna Boyd, Walter De
Lear, Val Howland, Jack Owenby and
S. James all have excellent parts in
the new production.
There Is a dainty little love story
running through the show that will
add human Interest and give strong
contrast to the comedy situations.
Charming Miss Vlsie Moore, who di
rects the Honeymoon, has been hard at
work preparing new numbers and the
girls this week will have many new
dance steps to brighten up the musical
numbers. The director of the company,
Mr. James, has spared no expense to
make "The Northerner" a real pro
duction.. What promises to be two
of the best musical numbers yet pre
sented during the season will be a
war song called "Tell Me Why You're
Not a Soldier, Too." With special
scenic and electrical effects and an
The
Fascinating
audience number called "Always Ask
far Loganberry Juice," the Honeymoon
girls have a special drill through the
body of the house Inviting the audi
ence to sample the drink that helps
make Oregon famous.
After this Monday nights have been
reserved by the management as a
special tryout night. Anyone having
an act he or she thinks suitable for
vaudeville Is Invited to present the
act for the approval of the audience.
This opportunity will give many with
talent for the stage a chance to break
into the game.
Tuesday night the management will
give money away in front of the thea
tre. Friday night is reserved for the
