Swinburne. r JBeto ffermgg on ikreen attb tage Audience Kept In High Spirits By Comedy Alcazar Players Give Highly Sat isfactory Performance of "His Majesty Bunker Bean." fIS MAJESTT BUNKER BEAN" as presented Monday night by the Alcazar players before. a packed house kept the audience In good spirits throughout the four acts of the play. "Ills Majesty Bunker Bean" Is a funny play of the unusual kind, and taken the .head of the class. It Is dramatised from the widely read story of Harry Leon Wilson. It's the play that put the "bunk," the Wholesome, laughable kind, in Bunker, and It goes straight to your "bean." The plot revolves about an eccentric young man. who believes in reincarnation. His beliefs are fully confirmed when he Is told by a medium that he was once an ancient king, and that his reincarna ted self Is destined to do great things: The characterizations are good. Every player fits well into his or her part. Edward .Everett Horton is Bunker, and Ruth Oates The Flapper. Pops Is played by Oeorge R. Taylor. Lore Rogers is the grandma. James Guy Usher takes the part of the great pitch er and Ann Winston Is The Sister. Bulger is played by Walter B. Gilbert. ' Others In the cast are : Smith rJavles, sTCdward Harrington, Eugene Shakes peare, Virginia Carlisle, Betty Barnl eoat, Barbara Haaland, Guy Reynolds, (Catherine Graham, William Lee and Walter Siegfried. . Coed Show at Pantages A couple of blackface comedians and some extra select diving girls bring the , bill at the Pantages theatre this week .. to more than an average plane. Shel don Brooks and Ollle Powers extol mirth and laughter from behind dense, makeups of burnt cork, tickling the funny bone of the audience with genu ine human humor. Their act is named "A Little Noise From Dixieland." In stead of being "a little," It is one big. lotou outburst. Lottie Mayer and her diving com pan- on h present a pleasing aquatic act. which Includes. too, some dancing. Lottie s - famous "keeping fit" dance firoved of great Interest to both fat and ean. The stage setting for the act is good and the tank la arranged so that every dive can be seen. Elite Eldrldge. Irene Cross and Irene Lowe are the other "nymphs." who, with Lottie, make the act a success by their figures and diving ability. , "Love, and Lots of It." a farce pre sented by Joseph Greenwald and com pany. Is a good feature, and Beatrice McKensle and company present a mu sical oddity. Johnny Singer and two dancing girls open the bill In a cheer ful manner. Tal Ling Sing, a musical Chinese, surprises by his clever violin rendition. ;. Concert at Eugene Tonight Eugene. Or., Feb. 12. The Red Cross concert to be given tonight at the Armory, will be marked by the first appearance of two musical com positions by Eugene musicians.

Developing the Form PORMERLT the doctors and dress- makers were at odds and disagreed most forcefully upon the perfect out lines of the female form divine. The hour glass figure is out of date, a thing of the past, and is the destroyed bone of contention. The doctor did not re alize it at the time, but the dressmaker was surely his best friend when she in sisted upon narrow ribs and the choked waist that crowded the internal organs out of shape for him to repair for a large fee. The natural figure does not assume the lines of the hour glass. The per fection of human form is expressed in the outlines of the Venus de Mllo. For ages these magnificent models of the highest type of physical perfec tlon in -women have been admired al most worshipped. The proportions, though grand, do not appear massive, so perfectly are they adapted, but they fascinate by graceful and sinuous curves. The curve extending from the arm pit to the hip is but slight; in fact. almost straight. In other days not long past, the fashionable woman would have pronounced a figure so shaped "thick and clumsy," and even If she admired It. she would never let out her stays to obtain the same grand, healthy lines. Man does not distort his shape by artificial means, and yet few of the men examined for the army fulfill the absolute reauirements until they have gone through from five to 10 weeks of military training. Were he to nave walked erectly, with shoulders back, from childhood, he would have been at least straight. He drops into a sham bling gait, which soon fixes as a habit any tendency of his figure to a ustiess pose or a curving Into careless lines. A woman by her clothing ana cor sets is at least partly bracea into an upright position, but frequently girls. little and big. droop over their corsets in a most decreasing way. and soon become flat chested and round shoul dered. The child must at first be con stantly reminded to "straighten .up," but sooner or later the habit of staying in an upright position will become fixed and the young girl or boy. as the case may be, will begin the second period of life with a broad chest, flat back and fine personal carriage. Many of the deformities of children begin In the cradle. Mothers and nurses are often ruiity ot csuVir- ness In putting the child down si- ways on the same side causing It .to grow lopsided. The safest 'way is to place it on Its back. In that position there Is no danger that its tiny ears will be doubled over or bent forward, so that as the child grows older these appendages will stand out like the sails of a ship. Exercise Is the solution of the problem of a good figure for both boys and girls. The girl who is exer cised properly from infancy develops a lithe, strong figure, like the Venus de Milo. She is supple and graceful and able to fulfill her motherly duties with out suffering. Tight clothes distort the figure and the disposition and alt the whitening preparations for the hands will be of no avail if by tight binding sleeves you force the blood Into your hands and also thus prevent Its proper return to the fountain from which it Issues. Red nose and a red -face may come from tightness of chest, waist or collar .by improper clothing. Compres sion causes congestion from any and all causes. Freedom of movement is neces sary to the development of a good fig ure, ' to health and a good disposition, It - Is economy to - start early to exer cise, sit and stand straight and walk properly. It will staifd you In the prop er way to enjoy long life as well as be ing able to help others. Do not fail to correct any child who is sitting or standing incorrectly. She may not ap preciate your suggestion, but at least you show your interest In the future race by so doing. LUCIEN E. BECKER, who will give fifth lec ture organ recital at Reed college next week.
