Ovid. u JHeto germgg on gbareetr anb gbtage & Show at Heilig Termed Girl Omelette Joyful Beauties Get Just as Chummy las Staid Portland Audience Will Permit. By H. K. Jr. THE Misses Harriet and Florence Leach of Portland who have returned from New York, where they closed a highly successful, vaudeville tour on the Keith and Orpheun circuits to come home for the usual summer vacation and rest in their home city. HA VINO exhausted the regular sup ply of stock phrases and overworked the handy lint at adjectives In attempted description of "The Show of Wonders." asd then having set the Rtory aside to let It cool overnls-ht. the reviewer awakes from slumber distributed by visions of quarter-clad beauties tramping In mass formation over his prostrate form awakes with the burning conviction that after all his original Impressions were not overdrawn. ( "The Know of Wonders." and Kugene and Willie Howard, particularly Willie, opened at the Helllg, Wednesday night, 'somewhat late because of delayed trans portation, 'and will be on for the rest of the, week. Though . shows of wonders, whether they be circuses or "Pjusalng Shows" from the Winter Garden, as this new one Is, are much the same, H must be said thatthls 1918 production is even a bit beyond any or the others. There's r.o more sense to It than to the others.- It's Just a girl omelette set to music and seasoned with nopsense, and served with wonderful garnishments of stage artistry. It's an Intimate sort of a show, more Intimate than former "Pass ing fihows." The girls, and they are numerous and shapely, wondrously scantily gowned and altogether Joyful, cavort In and out anrt among the au dience, with rubber balls and balloons, end get Just as chummy as the regula tion reservedly cold blooded Portland audience will permit them to get. One can only imagine what a grand party there must lie rn towns where the show goers are ofvthe warmer blooded type, more anxious sto snuggle up. The girls, except ; Flora liea, can't sing, but that doesn't matter. The music Is no the "whistiyfcrnd. As. said before Willie Howard Is the chief fun maker, agisted and nbetted by his brother Kugene, whojp ukulele specialty Is no least popular than in other years. Charles Wright and Sidmy Phillips and some others, too, add to the general merriment. White and Clayton do a -very clever trick dancing specialty, and the Bur mese ballet Is a gorgeously staged spec tacle. The settings and effects generally, futuristic for the most part, are pre tentious and vividly siectacular. A (lerman trench ac-eno with flocks of American airplanes riaing from the hori zon and sailing up and forward while the "yanks'' go over the top for an other gain, is naturally a big hit, that even the blase first-nighters couldn't alt? .through without a thrill. . - ... . -. 0utslde of all this "The Bhow of-Wonders" Is good fun and entertainment. - and; your season won't be fully rounded out unless you see It. Thrilling Accident Is Feature In "Betty Takes a Hand," which opened on today's screen at the Colum bia theatre, there is one of the most thrilling automobile accidents ever staged for the camera. Olive Thomas was at the wheel of a machine that crashes Into another .at a curve and later rolls over an embankment. The star, It Is said, refused to permit a "double" to work In the scenes. The play Is full of humor and inter esting features . as well as thrills. Throughout the picture an air of real- Ism carries the audience's enthusiasm without a lag. Olive Thomas, playing the role of a pretty mi us who runs a boarding-house, has a good opportunity to display her talent. Charles Gunn plays the role of Tom Bartlett, rich man's son, who doesn't want to work because he says his father has enough money for both. He peels potatoes and does other menial chores. 1 however, for the pretty proprietress of i the boarding-house. A series of epi sodes at the boarding-house are a fea ture of the picture.

Wonderou tales . of fabulous fortune and world-wide fame to be gained as a 60-50 partner and leading man in the "Kaw Valley Motion Pic ture Corporation" subtracted $5800 from the $5,835.43 bank account of Charles Marvin, a Swiss employed as a waiter at the Hotel Muehlbach. The amount represented Marvin's life savings. Marvin met a stranger, who said he was starting a film company, and after less' than 10 hours of conferring with two others, Marvin was induced to In vest most of his Bavin gs and become half owner. After securing Marvin's cash, he was left in a taxi while the "movie promoter" entered a drugstore to get a cigar. It now develops the store had a convenient side door. City detectives say the description of the,- men tally closely to a gang of notorious confidence men.

Only 50 birds were on save, and every person at the park seemed to hold a commission to carry away one of the 60. A department store sale was tame cm pared to the rush for the canaries. Assistant Purchasing Agent Mcintosh, in charge of the sale, was forced to act as arbitrator in several near-skirmishes. The first lot of birds, six in number, were sold for $1.60 each. The remain der of the birds were sold in lots for prices ranging from $2 downward to 30 cents. The sale concluded resulted in 60 women carrying the same number of birds to a new home, and about 25 women satisfied that the birds would probably all die wiAln a few days, anyway.

AMUSEMENTS SippodroheI nesUurani Manners IT IS the custom and now quite the mode to lunch and tea In the fa , li able restaurants on matinee days. Young married women meet their busy hus bands downtown and young girls gather from the schools to get glimpses of what caura me smart Bet in the r best and at their beBt. Luncheon clubs meet and are the means of bringing out women who would otherwise settle and grow old indoors. I am an advocate of the restau rant luncheon for numerous reasons. Life is always humdrum when every meal is taken at home and it is bene fiting to any and every woman to get out and away from it all once or twice a week. I heard one faithful house keeper say: "I have to go to a restau rant occasionally. If my servants don't drive me there I feel that my dishes , scream at me." It Is a blessing in a way that we have gia restaurants to go to for luncheons and teas. We meet , friends In those places whom wt do not run across any place else. InJarge cities there are so many dis tricts that society seems to keep strict ly within its own district, and if fr mova to another district they might be in auvuier cny u u were not for those luncheons and teas at the best ru.tn ty rants which enable them to meet and visit once in a whilo without takine trip across town.

Those who mint) In and . rush past children and 'old people -1n order to speak to the head waiter first do not know good manners or good taste and. generally get their setback from the waiter. , It la easy to pick out the small town people, for they always call to earn" other, across the room as they do across tha street at homfr Then there Is al jwaye the crowd who love the latest ' dancing ; music and send messages to the musicians to play their favorites, tor which they applaud .vociferously after v each number. , - -Perhaps the worst habit inspired by and cultivated in the restaurant la talk lug for tha benefit of tha people Bitting -ai urn turruunuing laoiesv . I sat at tea last Saturday in the' best restaurant in town. Just back of me were two suburban girls of the fashion able set. They had one slacker with them and a navy aviator whom they had corralled simply because he was some thing in a uniform. Their talk was loud but trivial until James J. Corbett came in, passed to a table at the back of the room and sat down. The women became excited and loud. "Do you know Corbett?" they asked their slacker friend. "No, but I will go over and Invito him to come over If you wish," he replied. "Oh, do," screamed both women at once. The man proceeded to Mr. Corbett's table, Btood up and said something to him. It was easy to observe that Mr. Corbett did not know him and politely declined the invitation The man came back and gave a monologue in a most vulgar vernacular. using all Borts of vile phrase3 to convey to the women that Mr. Corbett could not come over to their table because he had asked some men to dine with him and he had only time enough to order dinner for them. Then followed a line of talk about Mr. 4 Corbett and others in the company in which he was playing, which was as far from the truth as it was possible to carry It. All for the benefit or wo poo mortals who couldn't get away from the annoyance until we bad consumed our tea. The slacker stood before Mr. Corbett just two minutes, but it took him halt an hour to tell all Mr. corbett said to him. These people are restaurant pests, but they cannot be suppressed, for when treated badly in one restaurant they go4 to another and inflict themselves upon the patient public' If you would know a few rules which should be observed in a public restau rant, notice: Don't push. Don't scream across the room to friends. Don't re cite a monologue for the benefit of the surrounding victims. Don't abuse the waiter. Don't send messages to men you do not know. Don't have yourself paged and don t make up your race at the table. These rules might be observed by all women who go to restaurants. Some refined ones do not require them. OESSUE HAYAKAWA, handsome Jap anese motion picture star, in an unusual photoplay made up of scenes taken in Hawaii and others in the ball rooms of the rich amid beautiful gowns, features the Liberty theatre's new bill which opened today. The Japanese actor plays the rola of a young half-caBte of the South Sea islands, educated In the United States, who returns to his native island and by fraud obtains a hidden treasure of pearls.
