Belasco Is Sending
Comedy to Heilig
Following up his successful experiment
of last summer, when he sent the light
comedy ; classic, "The Boomerang," to
the West, David Belasco is this year
sending to Portland his latest dramatic
suecess-r-also a comedy -entitled "Polly
With a Past." It will te seen at the
Heilig theater for four nights and
Wednesday matinee, starting Monday,
August 12. i
"Polly With a Past" Is in three acts,
starring Ina Claire, and picturing a cer
tain phase of Eastern social life in Its
entertaining story. It ' is the work of
George Middleton and Guy Bolton. The
story introduces Polly Shannon, a mln-
Ister's daughter from East Gilead, Ohio,
as the temporary maid in the apartment
of. a New York bachelor, which position
she has taken in order that her musical
studies may be continued in Paris.
One Of this bachelor's chums. Rex Van
Zile, is in love with a girl of strong
mind, whose heart and energies are
centered on social uplift. It is sug
gested that if Rex were to become in
fatuated with a woman of questionable
character he might appeal to the lady
of reform tendencies as a fair object for
her attention. Thus the modest Polly
consents to a thoroughly business-like
arrangement whereby she is to assume
a manufactured past for the benefit of
the youth's cause and the advancement
of her own operatic ambition.
The amusing second land third acts
deal with Polly's advent into the Van
Zile home as one whom Rex has, saved
from drowning, with a fictitious engage-.
ment as the natural sequence, where
upon Polly affects the: vamplrish lure
of the ; boulevards, with; an accent that
might have been bequeathed by Bern
hardt herself. The ensuing situations
are both clever and : amusing, until
finally; the truth is ingeniously disclosed.

Vaudeville Is
All Summer
Amusement
THOUGH war ia playing more or less
1 havoc with the vaudeville show busi
ness from the producers" end, because
of the resultant problem of help, the
box office end keeps up Well In Portland
hpuses, waiting lines being the rule of
the day in tha houses that run the year
through. -
Women and. girls are more and more
replacing men and boys as ushers, door
keepers and ticket-sellers, and there will
soon be only the "essential" positions jot
held by them ere long. It has been ruled
that stage carpenters, motion picture
machine operators and stage electricians
come under the head of "essential -workers,"
so that all other places, must
eventually be filled by the tairef sex.
The draft, too, has made inroads on
vaudeville performers generally, though
there are still enough beyond the draft
age to .keep the booking houses supplied
with good .acts. Team acts have been
split to "singles," and some offerings
have been canceled altogether. Older
men are finding opportunity to, "come
back," especially in the musical comedy
numbers, and as a result some eastern
reviewers are predicting that we are
soon to be treated to more regular sing
ing in these acts, and less novelty danc
ing, the recognized forte of the younger
men.
Interest naturally attaches to the
opening of the Orpheum now set for
Sunday afternoon, September 8. The
Heilig will have had a general "clean
ing up" for the opening performance
IJIPPODROME Variety and excel
lence is promised in the new bill to
open thiB afternoon at the Hippodrome
Hopkins and Axtell have selected for
their offering a comedy playlet With a
plot in which a berth in a sleeping car
is concerned. The playlet is full of
amusing and complicated situations and
it will prove a special delight to trav
elers who have experienced like diffi
culties. j
Laymon, Curzon and Andelln will pre
sent a splendid offering consisting of
classic and popular songs. Mr. Laymon
was a successful light opera star in a
number of successes, Mr. Curzon won
fame in English grand opera and Mr.
Andelin was a soloist with royal opera
of England and France.
Dan Ahem, billed as "The Boy From
Your Neighborhood," will entertain with
whistling, songs and imitations of birds
and .beasts.
A medley of dances is the offering of
Grace and Anna Edler.
Selbini and Grovino will give an exhi
bition in various acrobatic feats, com
bining acrobatic juggling, bicycling and
gymnastic work and Les Ardow will
offer a comedy gymnastic number, "The
Clown and the Demon."
A big feature on this week's bill is the
photodrama featuring Mrs. Vernon Cas
tle in "Stranded in Arcady." from the
novel by Francis Lynde. The picture
deals with the adventures of a young
couple in the north woods. Most of the
scenes are pictures along a northern
river which Is filled with rock-Infested
rapids and which gives splendid oppor
tunity for thrilling scenes.
PANTAGES One of the strongest
bills of the midsummer season will
open Monday at Pantages according to
advance notices reaching Manager
Johnson from points farther east. The
big number is a ,two act musical comedy
tabloid, "Quakertown to Broadway,"
which provides a vehicle for Ned Norton,
Irene Williams and Delbert Beng and
their chorus of pretty singing and danc
ing girls.
The "Al Jolson of Vaudeville," as Al
Wohlman is known, is also on the new
bill. Wohlman has an inimitable way
of getting his songs over and he has
some new ones to sing.
For rapid change of attire Marian
Munson, who plays "The Spy Nest," is
said to hold a record. In her act of
about 20 minutes she makes eigli
changes and playg as many distinct
character roles.
Emily Darrell in her little skit, "Too
Late for Rehearsal," has a new hand
bag for bull dogs which she will in
troduce to Portlanders. She is assisted
by Billy Jackson.
Coscia and Verdi are masters of the
cello and violin, and the Three Bartos
are declared to be among the most
graceful athletes in vaudeville. The
bill opens with motion pictures of Alas
kan scenes.
There will be -a continuous perform
ance from 1 :30 to 11 p. m. tomorrow.
STRAND Lois Weber's . photoplay.
"Scandal Mongers," which deals with
the evils of idle gossip, will be shown

are just as nature wills, there for the
asking.
Those fortunate enough to own an au

Many have established summer camps
along the waterfront. Every evening
sees happy crowds picnicking on the

the day. They seem to have almost en
tirely replaced the "all ready to eat'

seem unusuafc but it is a reality with
real boats and real water, even if the
bed of the river is wood. And the

of entertainment to onlookers as well

OAKS Astronomy wfth Its unfailing
source of wonder and speculation, is
to hold the limelight at Oaks Amuse
ment park for one week commencing
with two performances today. In view
of the recent total eclipse of the sun.
visible within a few miles of Portland,
the Armstrong Folly company's offering
of "The Eclipse," a musical comedy,
seems particularly appropriate.
Astronomy is the hub around which
the story movas, but It is of a light and
airy and burlesque nature. Mr. Mars,
Mr. Comet, Mr.TSun. Miss Venus, Miss
Moon, to say nothing of a bright Her
schel star, are a few of the luminous
characters that will disport themselves
for the delight of Oaks patrons. Grouped
around these will be the stars of the
chorus, robed in costumes befitting their
stellar glory.
Miss Maudle Smith is cast for the ra
diant role of Venus. Flora Sims will
shine as Miss Moon, in addition to offer
ing a number of solos. Frank Shaw,
whose ability to carry with credit any
role assigned him. has made him a fa
vorite, will try to look like a Herschel
star. Henry Sherr will prove a cornu
copia of fun as "The Professor." Will
H. Armstrong, as Mr. Mars, will have a
Martian tale to tell that would tickle
the heart of Professor Lowell, the s
tronomer who made a study of that
planet his life's work. Ed Armstrong
and Harlan Thompson will flash re
spectively as Mr. Comet and Mr. Sun.
"The Eclipse" Is billed "a laugh in
every line."
