"hla Chlcaeo company from th Black
atone ; theatra to Portland for; a vUIt of
four nights and Saturday matinaeT berin
nin at th Helliff theatre on .' next
Wednesday ' evening, In Booth Tarklnj
ton's , latett comedy; "Clarence." " The
same organisation - that made for the
great success of the comedy , In Chicago
will be seen here. Thrift cast includes
Gregory Kelly. Ruth Gordon, Robert
Adams, Byron Beaaley, Betty Murray,
Grace Filkina, Clara Blandick, Joe Wal
lace. James T.i Ford and Guy d'Ennery.
"Clarence" delivers one of thos mir
acles which war generally creates. A
soldier the hero with all the surly In
stincts of the loyal unselfishness In serv
ice and other unfitness for battlefield
hazards. .. : f ' : .
" A anemic professor of entomology is
he, grabbed from his 20.000,000 microbes
and bugs to train for warfare. Placidly
and humbly he goes as far as a train
ing camp, where he wanders In front of
a target and gets a load of bullets, shot
Into his llveri They have, with the bril
liant precision of rush training, put him
to driving mules, but he is incapacitated
for even that unattractive way to hero
ism, and is sent' home invalided. His
place as consulting entomologist for a
dignified college has been assumed by
one of his assistanta and pupils, so he
drifts about trying to find employment
and runs Into a rich man's family, which
is one of those : fierce hornet's nests
where everybody tries to be boss and
nobody isnappy. The professor la meek
and lowly and absent minded, but of so
much optimistic efficiency that he can
do anything from tuning the piano with
motor tools, mend the plumbing and tame
the little wildcat of a daughter, who
wants to vamp the grass-widoweK With
this attractive material Mr. Tarklngton
merely lets his wit and humon his satire
and his philosophy race about pleasantly
and normally, and . the ; amusement is
-complete.
Robert Adams, a : very clever young
actor known to Portland through having
appeared her in .""Little" Women and
"The Country Cousin,", within the last
few years, is given the part of the hero
in "Clarence." - .'
LTRIC An J American king; of: a
' cannibal island, who faces the dan
ger of being boiled in oil provided he
fails to marry within a set period, and
who gets two visitors to help him out
of his fix. is the central figure 1n "His
Royal Noba" which opens today at the
Lyric theatre, with Will Ruder u the
king, Ben Dillon and AI Franks as Mike
and Ike. and Carleton Chase. Dot Ray
mond and the other Lyric principals In
mirth-provoking parts.
The arrival of an American who pre
tends to be a wtsard, and who pulls a
few tricks which compel awe In the
natives, brings the first ray of hope, to
the forlorn king, i Carleton Chase plays
the part of the would-be wUard. , His
wife : (Billie Bingham) discovers him
near the king's favorite and becomes
jealous. A quarrel between the two
women brings on new trouble . for the
king, and when Ike azu alike enter
they sur up more, but eventually bring
on the chance for the king's ' escape.
Mike dresses as a, woman, and when he
in discovered Ike has the -choree. Of being
fed to the leopards or taking the "king's
place. He. is duly boiled., and Just. as
the curtain is , lowered he cornea back
to report ; that', the lower regions are
over crowded and lie is forced to return
to earth.. I ; -'! .-' vMiV.

edy playlet that has ; won higher en

Shower" is the story of an old Hebrew
bachelor, who earned a fortune by sell
ing umbrellas, i His ' ambition was) to
wed a rich woman. Another great hope
of his was to see his adopted daughter
happily married. The. sudden surprise
in the denouement is a treat. ;
Josie Heather Is one of the most pop
ular comediennes and jdngers r? in the
world. vaudeville etagedom, having
been a pet of the English music halls.
before coming to the United States. She
is a headliner . in her own aright and in
the' past she has been -top feature of
several Orpheum shows. Miss Heather
has a new act : this season and the is
registering one Of the hits of the show. .

HIPPODROME The I new bill at
' Loew'a Hippodrome today promises
a lively concoction of mirth and melody,
the-gay little juvenile frivolity. . "Frolic
of Youth. being the headlined feature.
There are nine people : in the cast, the
scene being set in the assembly hall of
a large school where graduation exer
cises are in progress. Each member of
the, company has a classy specialty to
offer and the action and fun are fast
and furious. - Lew Gleason furnishes the
incentive for much of the laughter.
. Not playing second fiddle to the vaude
ville in the slightest degree Is the Com
modore Blackton picture "Respectable by
Proxy." This picture is a comedy which
deals with a, man who has disappeared,
his wife who is of lower caste than, him
self and a young woman whom the wife
sends to impersonate her own self. Com
pticating matters the. young man returns
to his mother's aristocratic home to find
the charming girl impersonating his wife,
Thenr prompted ty a cBuple of designing
cousins of the young man the "lowbrow"
spouse arrives on the scene and starta
to enliven matters. It develops, however,
that she has ho title to the name of wife

albeit she has a ring and a marriage
certificate, and everything ends In : the
satisfactory manner which is a part of
the commodore's inimitable style of pro
duction. The stellar parts are taken by
Sylvia. Bremer and Ralph Gordon.
Francis. Clark and Preston, two men
and a young woman, will be seen in a
humorous ; character study "Walters
Wanted." The skit is frankly built for
the purpose of "laughter only" and deals
with two ex-jailbirds, who, deciding to
forsake their mistaken occupations,
answer an advertisement for waiters.
Harry Brown and Harry Evans, two
former cabaret favorites of the great
white way, promise some clever sayings
in their comedy patter, exclusive songs
and a number of eccentric dance steps.
Sister acts always have appeal and
that of the El Roy Sisters, who Inci
dentally are two former Seattle girls, is
particularly interesting because the girls
are handsome and richly gowned; in ad
dition to their remarkable ability! as en
tertainers. They are credited with being
the first "sister" act ever to stop a show
on the Hippodrome circuit. They have
a line of bright chatter which they wind
up with a selection on -tlje steel guitar.

and who is said to possess a fine singing
voce is another feature of the bllL -.

tceautlful musical acta Each! member
Is a charming young woman who is not

but a vocal star in her own right.
The numbers are diversified and they
will be so arranged that everybody will
enjoy the attraction. Each young woman

Martin-Beck Is
: Willing to Lease
His Old Theatre
A ' hundred or .more - friends. In the
kindness of their hearts, have written
Martin Beck letters Informing him that
outsiders are attempting - to secure the
lease of the present Orpheum theatre in
New Orleans. . Mr. Beck has answered
them all thanking them for the Informa
tion, but. If they don't mind, ould they
emphasise the fact that the theatre la
available to any one of them "who has
sufficient money to pay the rental. The
Orpheum, by Mr. Beck's lease, has . a
year and half to run, and he would be
pleased to get rid of it, inasmuch as he
has one of the most magnificent theatres
In the country building there at this rpo-
ment. --.
And. concludes Mr. Beck, If the pros
pective lessee ia desirous of competing
with vaudeville - against the new, or-
pheum, let the intruder just put a chip
on his shoulder and start something N,
