f THE OREGON, SUNDAY, JOURNAL, PORTLAND,' SUNDAY' MORNING, JANUARYS 21 1917. i . . . . - ... " 1 Marriage Moves IN THE PHOTOPLAY HOUSES THIS WEEK IN THE new bill opening tomorrow. Pantag-es is featuring Georae ; Choos great big- "girl" act, "The . 8uf : fragette Court." The title fairly tells the story. The Judge, -the jury, the police and the bailiff are all very at 'tractive young women; the two pris ; oners are only men and what they get during the course of a ragtime trial is no trouble at all. There is plent of musical comedy as well as farce. 'Chris Chlsliolm and Viola Breen .put over a rattling- good little travesty and an almost melodrama that is all .sorts of fun. The four Portia sis ters are feminine contortionists' and are no less remarkable in their line, r Cumby and Brown are colored chaps 'who are celebrated as fun makers 'wherever there is vaudeville. Their .line is wholly out of the groove. i The, four Cook sisters sing splen- 'dldly, dress .that way and look a good deal" the wmo. The Symphony trio ' .plays everything in the way of a mu- . steal instrument they can get their hands on, and sing as well as they play. a The thirteenth episode f "The Lass of the Lumberlands," with Helen .Holmes, makes the capsheaf of a truly unusual bill. i Si pretty, talented girls, who make .up the Sextette ie Luxe, will have , a big part to play in entertaining Hip- .podrome audiences who see the new ahow that opens there today to run i .until Thursday. These perfarmers are -good to look upon, their costumes are elaborate and stunning and Special scenery is carried to make the act . most effective. The offering is a group of vaudeville features assembled in one "act. There is a Hawaiian setting that ' is especially pleasing. Young Judson Cole is one of the beat " magicians and talkative sl?ight of hand men to be seen here in a lonjr time. He is a .whole show in himself and his work is not only mystifying but highly " entertaining as well.' Russell & Hughes offer remarkable costume changes and character imper sonations and they work wonderfully fast. Carman and Printup have a novel . .- mimical number. One Is an exceptional pianist and both have excellent voices . The two work under an immense ban- . -. fllcap but they are entirely successful 1n presenting their act. in a pleasing way.' ; I he Reckless Trio ttvc acrobats who . seem to have entire disregard for the safety of both life and limb. They do astonishing things in the most daring way. J ne i timers have an offerine- on , "-'roller skates that makes the audience . sit up and take notice. The motion picture program starting t .today is also good. The feature amone - 'the film attraction? is the latest erJi - node of "Pearl of the Army," the big i'athe feature serial, with Pearl "White t a general favorite, in the leading role. K There is also a Pathe News and an - animated comedy that is certain to make everyone laugh. 'Hip" shows .. are continuous today from 1:15 to 11 . p. m. , Once "gain the Orpheum offers n four-star show, two joint headlines and two other big-type acts appearing n tne bill to open at the Heilig theatre this afternoon. The headline!- are Klsie Piker and Dudley Douglaj in smart songs, dances, sayings and gowns, and Odiva. "The Water Queen," esslsted by a school of Pacific se 4iwn in an immense glass tank.

"The Deep Purple" Is In all probability the greatest of alt plays of Its kind, and will be unusually well produced by the Alcaxar Players, wttn several extra tteoDle In the large cast. Theatregoers are already looking forward to the coming production of Denman Thompson's . great American classic. "The Old Homestead," which Of Moovie Queens Marital ' Alliances Save rroroft .

Marriage does not seem to be any handicap to the succes 'of a motion picture actress as Is evidenced by the following queens and the names they have adopted for better or for worse: aflgnon Anderson. Mrs. Morris Foster; Gypsy Abbott. Mrs. Henry King: will open next Sunday at the Baker, I Bessie BSTriscale. Mrs. Howard Hick this being Its first production in is toe and the first time Portland will hive seen It for many. years. Always a new. snappy show at he Lyric, and this week, beginning today, the latest musical farce, "Romeo and Joliet," will be the offering, and It is said to be a scream or laughter from start to finish. The scenes are laid in Illinois, not far from the town of Jol iet. The proprietor of a big hotel is expecting a couple of royal guests, and Is at loss for some entertainment out of the ordinary to amuse them. Final ly he hits upon the plan of putting on a big performance of "Romeo and Juli et,'' and learning of a famous actor down at Joliet sends for htm to play the immortal Romeo. But a Juliet he cannot find. and. reduced to extreme necessity of placing one of his cham- bermaids in the part. Then another contingency arises. Romeo has disap peared. But hehe our friend. Able Co hen, comes onto the scene and, as usual, saves the day. Before he knov it, he is elected for Romeo, and tne fun begins Jn earnest. This is one f Al Frank's most humorous roles, snd he is ably seconded by Karl Hall in the well known rube character. The finale Is the well Known balcony scene given in burlesque, which is a riot. All new songs and chorus numbers will be in troduced with bright and snappy cos tumes and petty scenic effects. Thcr-J is a matinee every day and continuous performance today, starting at 2 o'clock. Tuesday night the vaudeville' tryouts are staged between shows, and Friday the always popular chorus girls' contest. "Little Women," one of the phenome nal stage successes of several sea sons ago.

Inez Macauley, the Rose Stahl of vaudeville, is appearing this season In a new sketch called "The Girl at the Cigar Stand," which gives Miss Ma cauley an opportunity to appear as a slangy heroine. Miss Macauley Is re membered particularly by Orpheum patrons for her characteriation in "The Girl From Childs'." Then comes Trovato, the humorous v.miiust, Tvno piays the violin as it i were a cello and makes the instru irteni taiK to the audience. Trovato lr an eccentric musician whose manner Jams have helped make him famous.

Jeffery. Max Walsroan and Rita Porter are coming to the Strand theatre in the new bill which will open Sunday, with a comedy Bketch all their own. "Her Ttrst Patient." This is just one of the distinctive "i out wmcn oners a se ries of vaudeville acts, each one of Jrtilch has a novelty about it which makes it a high light. The Musical Bentleya have something to offer In the way of a xlyoDhone repertory that is above the average of j -xnis type of musical feature, and they have the biggest xylophone "that ever came down the pike." Le Mar and "Queen," the talking dog. are a feature out of the ordinary. Te act is attracting a great deal of attention wherever it goes. ' Finally, on the vaudeville section of - the bill, there is Sam Evans, who is a ventriloquist with a mighty clever line or original work to offer. The photodrama half of the bill of ters "Heart Strings," featuring Allan . Holubar and Maud George. It Is. tho story of a young doctor who . i assumes the guardianship of an orphan : girl. When his ward grows to woman hood, he realizes that he has fallen in love with her, although another man la laying strong siege to the beautiful gin s nean. 11 is a romance with a very strong heart appeal and a big lgh of relief at the end when all ends well In the love story ' i The fourth episode of "The Purple Mask" will run as an additional fea ture with the shows of Monday and Tuesday. The heroine was left in a rather serious predicament at the close of the last episode. In the coming epi sode, new and more startling events come to pass. May Save 'Garden' For Amusements It depends in a way upon the peo ple of New York whether Madison Square Garden will remain a place of quasi-public amusement or will be. torn down and an office building erect ed in its place. The syndicate which has Just bought the historic edifice from the New York Life Insurance company announces that if a sufficient number of organizations or individuals rent or lease the garden so that re tention in its present form will prove profitable, the part of the building, including the arena, will oe lert stana lng. The Madison and Fourth Avenue ends of the structure are to be changed into office lofts. The present statement alters the complexion of a recent announcement that it was probable Isadora Duncan, backed by friends, would purchase the garden for the purpose of instituting a civic center there. However, it may come about that she will be one of the tenants If not the sole occupant. HE LILAC DOMINO," the three act international musical suc cess by Charles Cuvilller. which took New York, Boston and Wash ington and Chicago and all the larger cities of the east by storm and which was originally produced in Vienna and then taken to Paris, where it ran for an entire season, wlll.be presented at the Heilig theatre, Broadway and Tav- lor streets, next Thursday for three nights and a special priced matinee Saturday. Impressario Andreas Dippel feels Justly proud of this big production, which has created such waves of com ment from noted art critics, music lovers and from the general public as well. It is conceded to be the most elaborate, bright, breesy and alto gether beautiful production of many seasons. The score Is enchanting, as it rlDDles and sways and floats along in a variety of tempos, the syncopa tions of which were epecially arranged by Milan Roder of Vienna, conductor of special orchestras. There has been a lavish expenditure in producing the wonderful scenic and electrical effects. Lovely young girls in the chorus dis port themselves in a number of gor geous costumes and sing and dance in a decidedly sprightly and vivacious manner. Five well known comedians call out about three laughs to the minute throughout the entire three acts. Among the notables of the cast are Bradford Klrkbride in the leading role, arvonne Darle. Marie Hamilton, a find of Andreas Dippel; Harry Herm-1 sen and Joseph Carey, laugh-coiners; George Curion, Archibald Gilchrist, Edward Crawford. Anita Andrews, Irene Perela and Julia Fontaine are among the notables of the cast. A few of the most popular songs are bong of the Chimes." sung by Mr. lvirK- bride, and Miss Darle. to the accom paniment of Silver Bells, "The Lilac Domino," the strains or wnicn are re peated like a refrain throughout the piece: "Let the Music Play," "Ladies Day," "What is Done You Never Can TTndo." "What Every Woman Knows," "Where Love is Waiting," "On the Gay Riviera," and many others. Few plays are more fascinating than I those that deal with some phase of un derworld life, especially when they border more on the comedy than sor did, and such an one is Paul r Arm strong's "The Deep Purple." which .the Alcazar Players win oner xortnewieai beginning thrs afternoon. Kamillato most playgoers, there are still many thousands In this city who have never yet availed themselves of the oppor- tunity of seeing it. and this will be their chance.
