Madame Ellis, "The Woman Who
Knows" and who has been called "The
Woman Alexander." is the added fea
ture of the new, show. Madam Kills
will undertake to tell just about every
thing. She acts with startling rapidity
and Is said to ba able to tell the inner
most thoughts of anyone in the audi
ence who cares to ask her aid. The
act of Madam Ellis is a sensation and
down to date it has been Inexplainable.
Iter answers are so direct they create
almost an uncanny feeling.
Millie Burke's "Tango Shoes" is the
third big type act. This is a comedy
introducing: novel dancing and while the
act has been popular in the East this
is the first time for it to be staged in
the Northwest The element of curi
osity and mystery piay an important
part in the entertainment. "Tango
Shoes" are supposed to be a mechanical
contrivance which, if worn by anyone,
will make the man or woman an excel
lent dancer. Persons from the audience
go upon the stage to verify this state
ment and the results are at times com
ical and at times exceedingly graceful.
Remaining acts are the Ja-Da Trio,
We never showed Fairbanks
before. They told us Portland
liked him. but we never expected
that thousands of people would
be unable to get in and that other
thousands would come twice.
Such Is popularity. Portland
has judged this Fairbanks mas
terpiece so good that public de
mand has forced us to hold it
over. 1 ,

on the 17 per cent, quality.
"But never mind : it's a hard world,
but I am going to express myself
soon in a play upon the subject of
prohibition."
Thereupon the audience let go.
The joy in dry New York at the pros
pect of a prohibition play from Wil
lard Mack nearly raised the roof.
WTien they were through with their
applause of the author's promise.
Mack concluded his remarks ti the
effect that, while there may be hard

have our home still."
