SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 13. 1818. vaudeville STRAND-rFlve acts of comedy fla vored vaudeville, on of the moat - promising transcontinental road .show bills, together with - the three-day en gagement of the Bluebird beauty star. . Violet Mersereau. In "The Girl by the ,t Roadside,! constitute a most Interest ing program for patrons of the Strand. The vaudeville numbers of the new . bill are Hawthorne and Ross, "400 pounds of comedy," In an act that has met with pronounced success all Jong the circuit; the Raymonds, in a ventrlloqual-contortlon novelty, all of , which is comedy; Williams and Wil liams, "the man, the girl and the - piano," la a from ragtime to grand . opera number, called "The Nurses Dream"; Ted Ullmark, in character v songs, and Mattus and Young, billed . a "Two Dancing 3lts." "The Olrl by the Roadside" Is a very attractive, - Photo play,, In which the pretty heroine , is thrown from her horse, when miles away from civilisation, and Injured. -The hero finds her. and carries her to ., his hunting lodge, where a storm keeps them prisoners long enough for them , to fall in love with each other. OnpHEUM There u to n tr y-' performance at the Orpheum this ..' week on Wednesday night. On the com ,lng bill three stars vie for first honors. ;'lt0 headllner is Alan Brooks In his ' four-scene humorous tragedy. "Dollars 'and Sense." Another star act Is that of Toots Paka and her troupe of Ha waiian singers and Instrumentalists, and the third big-type act Is Elsa Ruereer. -' the- famous cellist, who this season has : Jwlfh her a harpist, Zhay Clark, and Ed ' imund Lichtensteln, a violinist, as her ac companists. Clara Howard, the former 'Portland Klrl. with the new show, would ' probably be a featured act on any less remarkable bill. Miss Howard filled a lon engagement with the Oreeon hotel - cabaret here several years ago, and was retained through various changes of en ' , trtalnrs on account of her popularity. ' -one of her big hits Is a mimicry of Char lie Chaplin. Other acts" are Keller Mack ; and Anna Karl In original songs and I patter written by Mr. Mack ; Jack King and Morton Harvey in a song program . of unusual excellence: the Alaska trio Jin "A Night on the Yukon.

XThe procranj will be started off in ex cellent fashion by the juggling of De I Lisle, novelty entertainer, who juggles layerythlng from tennis balls and Indian clubs to hats. His spinning of oneof the latter is said to be among his est trlc'ks. and his juggling of a feather the most amusing one. The real headline feature is a miniature prizefight. The V number is entitled "Bosran's Chance 'and is a Wlllard Mack playlet, with Nick Santoro in the leading role. Other acts of : merit are Leonard and Haley in a kit, "The Wrong Hat," in which they sing,, dance, whistle and tell stories!: J Mae and Billie Earle In a sketch called uove mc, LiOvts My Dog. wmcn also includes the acting of a very homely but clever dog ; Bert Draper, a blackface comedian, who Imitates an oldtlme darky preacher and talks on prohibition, and ths Gandell sisters and company of five people, who will offer a spectacular t tight-wire act in which -their work is said to be the fastest that has ever played the time. The picture for Sun- day and the three following days is '"Ths Oood-for-Nothlng," featuring Car 1- lyle Blackwell. ; DA.NTAGE8 Next week's Pantages i ,v bill, commencing Monday at the matinee, has a remarkable aggregation I of. talent, from George Primrose and his troupe of seven all-star minstrels to the Martlettes' marionettes, presenting "Start From Toyland."

All Chief Executives From Washington to Wilson Have Enjoyed Theatrical Performance. All the presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Woodrow Wilson, have enjoyed theatre going, affording, as it does, a tempo rary relaxation from affairs of state Even Abraham Lincoln, when his heart was heaviest during the days of the war, would slip quietly away to find mental diversion for a few short hours from the burdens of government which were bearing so severely upon him. Theodore Roosevelt was also an en thusiastic theatre goer, but none of the former executives has been so constant in attendance at the playhouses as Is President WllBon. Early in his first term of office- Mr. Wilson expressed a wish that, as much as possible, all formalities should be dene away with when he attended the theatre, even to the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner." which was al ways the signal that the nation's chief executive had arrived. All the theatres, since our entrance into the war, have resumed the playing of the national anthem. At the Belasoo theatre, which is but a stone's throw from the White House. his box, which was formerly one of the stage boxes, hag been changed to one in the "ambassador's tier." There are 8 boxes in this most beautiful of Washington theatres. 'The one re served for Mr. Wilson is In the center of the house. At the New National theatre the boxes are all arranged on either side or the stage, so that there is no chance for the president to retire into the background. He occupies Box B. second from the stage on the left. Here, as in all theatres, the chief ex ecutive's box is flag draped upon the occasions when he occupies It. When the president goes to the the atre , he is always accompanied by se cret service men. .The theatre selected by him Is notified of the fact of bis attendance by noon, and then seats are laid aside in different parts of the house for the men of the secret service. Mrs. Wilson's beauty always attracts a great deal of attention when she Is among those present. She dresses ex ceptionally .well and always In per fect taste. In regard to the 'personal nreference or the president for any particular ciass oi piay, it would be hard to make any choice.
