HE I LI O Raymond Hitchcock, In
"Hitchy-Koo 1919,":the latest of the
comedy and musical 'shows' bearing this
Chinese title, with which, they 'name of
this unique and popular funmaker has
become identified, will be the attraction
at the Hellig theatre Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, May 27, 28, 29, with mat
inee Saturday.
It Is the most pretentious of all the
"Hitchy-Koo" series, and has received
the heartiest public and critical ap
proval. The stage decorations are more
lavish, the costumes daintily pretty and'
- the girls "all peaches," says Hitchcock,'
"and not a raspberry among them."
The Duncan Sisters.' Rita Dane. Ruth

mer, Lucille .Ager, Princss White Deer,
Chief Os-Ko-Mon and a half hundred
. others are restless factors In sparking
the shifting scenes of gaiety and dance.
-Hitchy" himself is the "big show."
He moves In and out of the unconnected
and surprising scenes, first in one droll
character type and then another until
everybody is rocking with laughter. As
usual, one of the choicest bits, of enter-t-inment
is his informal talk before the
curtain goes up, Introducing members of
the audience to one another and explain
ing that his is really an educational en
tertainment and he first Intended to
offer it in public schools and Presby
terian churches instead of a theatre.

BAKER By way of closing the season
with a play picked to please all
classes of patrons, the Baker Stock com
pany, beginning tomorrow, will appear in
"Lena Rivers," the stage version of the
1 celebrated novel by Mary J. Holmes,
which was written half' a century ago,
and which was made Into play form a
few years ago, making a sensational
. 'success.
Beulah Poynter transformed the novel
Into a play, and herself appeared In the
" leading part, a character " which she
played for some 8000 performances.
Lillian Foster, the Baker's versatile
leading woman, will be seen as the little
girl who, with her grandmother, leaves
fcer M-Tchfr-tts t"rm to live with n
uncle In a palatial Kentucky home, and
who falls In - love with a Arte young
Southerner and at the same time
arouses the jealousy of a cousin who
flaunts the fact that Lena Is Unable to
point with any certainty to her parent
age. , - ; ': Li . - , - -
Added discomfitures come when the
step-father of the man she loves pays
attentions to berr, and scandal which she
cannot stand ia started. When clouds
are : blackest, the story of her birth
comes to light, her name is cleared of
the nasty insinuations which have been
t, circulatedand she marries the man of
her heart. --
Much good comedy will be afforded by
the character of Rastus Johnson" and
more by f'Joel Slocum." - Opportunities
for exceptional character work will be
given the Baker favorites, and the vil
lain and heroes which make the book so
much read will appear in their goodness
and badness in the elaborate production
promised by Stage Director Walter Gil
bert. - The play is in three acts and a
prologue, j

LYRIC Songs, danees and pretty girls

Fancies," a musical revue which will be

Spanish number, -win also be one of the
extra numbers on the bill, which Includes
some of the merriest laughing bfts"
which Ben Dillon has had stored In the
back of his head for some montha '
' The fun centers around the search of
an American woman of wealth for a
real live count with matrimonial inten
tions. ""v ,
Her search is made interesting by the
appearance of a rjval and fun starts
when some antique statues she has
ordered are broken and Mike Dooley and
his friend Ike are forced to pose in their , Opera company, with which he was lead
places long enough to let a French land- j ing basso for three seasons. Then he

The Lyric favorites will be herd
in

ORPHEUM Two Joint headliners of
renown . ; and two other i features
shine in the Orpheum show which will
open at the Heilig this afternoon for an
engagement of three nights and four
matinees, closing with the performance
next Wednesday afternoon. The head
liners are Homer: B. Mason and Mar
guerite keeler in their comedy classic,
"Married," and Henri Scott, American
bass-baritone, who comes direct to
vaudeville from the Metropolitan Opera
company. - i "
One of the most popular acts In . big
time vaudeville is that of Homer B.
Mason .and Marguerite ' Keeler. Their
one-act play "Married" was written es
pecially for them by Porter Emerson
Brown, and in the bands of Mason the
act creates continuous laughter. In his
line Mason ' Is regarded as one of the
best funsters on the American : stage,
and he has made a life study of dramatic
and eomedy values In vaudeville vehi
cles, f Miss Keeler is great foil for
his comicalities. ?
Henri Scott, th? joint headliner with
Mason and Keeler, appeared in Portland
last year as a concert artist at the
Hellig. He is listed as being one of the
most eminent singers America has ever
produced. He was born In Philadelphia
and received his musical education in
the -United States.: His operatic debut
was made at the Manhattan Opera
house in New York in 1909 as the high
priest In "Alda.? When Oscar Ham
meratein ceased to produce opera in this
country Scott went to Europe and sang
during the. season- of '1910-11 at 'the
Teatro Adrian a, Rome,! Italy. Later he

The third feature of the new show

West found by tne E&st, who has a
brand new act, the music and lyrics of
which were written by Lee David, and
which is presented under direction of
Miss Rosalie Stewart. Miss Beri . is
assisted by Jay Velie and Paul O'Neill.
The fourth feature Is the act of Ned
Norworth, assisted by Evelyn Wells, in
20 minutes of Joyous vaudeville; ;
Remaining Jtcts are Rudinoff, versa
tile artist' fWm , the Folies Marigny
theatre, Paris, the originator of smoke

Mercer ! in - a comedy aerial surprise ;
Klnograms ; Topics of the Day shown '
on a beautiful .Oregon landscape scene,
and the Orpheum concert orchestra un
der direction of George E. Jeffery.
PANTAGES Vaudeville at its best Is
the 'promise held forth for Pantages
tor the week. commencing with the mat
inee tomorrow. .
Two feature attractions vie with five
other ' sterling offerings in providing
royal entertainment. "His Taking Way"
is a striking musical satire on the
world -of the movies., Billy. Kelly' and
I Boyd Warren lead a large cast, which
includes a real beauty chorus. The
scenes are laid In a movie studio and
the fun is fast and furious. There are
several song numbers and dances inter
polated to liven the action. ; .
As - the second feature Willa Holt
Wakefield comes with her' everyday
songs for everyday folks. Miss Wake
field Is her ow naccompanist, and her
offering will be one that pleases alL
Miss Wakefield will introduce her own
song numbers in her Inimitable manner.
Carlita and Dick Lewis appear in
"Luzon Love." a charming blending of
opera and jazz, in which their songs and
dances please. William- R. Abrams and
Agnes Johns have the striking serio
comedy, "The Unexpected Witness."
A comedy ventriloquil -' novelty Is
seen in "The Baby's Cry, offered by
Walter and Emily Walters. Nevins and
Gordon have a distinct novelty in "A
Holland Hallowe'en," in which the pic
turesque, setting of windmills and dykes
has been accentuated.
Jack Dempsey continues to thrill as
the hero in "Daredevil Jack.
. Harry Glrard and his company In
"The Luck of a Totem," will conclude
their farewell engagement with the con
tinuous performance today, beginning
at 1:30. .
