"The OuIJa Board" Is a view into the Annixlrr household, where Magadnr. a local spiritualist, baa entered. Magador, having beguiled the wife and mother (?om the family, seeks the financial ruin of the sorrowing father, who, however, puts himself in the plotter's hands that he may communlcat with his late wife. At the daughter's suggestion Detective MfiCsre and Komp, a novelist, set ottt to investigate. ThV ourtaln rises on a scene in the Matador home, ' prepared for the vialt from Annlxter.

Ikle and Iny, who are Al Franks and Kddie Wright, cut some highly humorous an tics in getting into and out of a score of rear-terrifying 'situations in the Southland. The two go to Mexico to rid the world cf the worthless Henry, but instead they fisd him in the hands of bandits, who demand ransom, and they change their hate to pity for the hapless Henry, who la Howard Kvana.

The Joint headllners are Sammy' Lefc with his lady friends and William Halli- gan, popular comedian, in a three-in-one satire called "HighlowbrOw. The extra attraction is the act of the favorites, Harry and Emma Sharrock, "Behind the Grandstand." i Kammy Lee, dancing juvenile, brings four dainty misses who sing, dance and ohat in a thoroughly delightful manner. HiajsUr blovs,t-tiM high, jjost of act ingis called "Handle With Care." '"Hlghlowbrow" is one' of the most distinctive bits of play jwritlng of; the day. The author, Jay; Kaufnaan.T'has condemned three famous stories into short episodes, showing i their interest and humanity. The stories are De Maupassant's "Regret,", Dunsay a "The Guest" and O.

LOEWS HippobromF HIPPODROME The new show that Opens a four-day engagement at the Hippodrome today includes a variety of sensational and amusing features and It h b- do"b'e headline attractions. Avis Bennett and George Lee, well known .ara of the varieties, will ap- per in an entertaining bit of origtna comedy entitled "Vodvil Etiquette." Much live sport pertaining to the movies Is woven Into this skit. Another headline offering of interest to admirers of mental power and skill is that promised by . Brindamour and company. Brindamour, called "the man With the nimble brain," is among the world's famous escape artists. Not only Is he able to extricate himself from aU forms of leg and hand iror.s, but he does it with baffling speed. He gained world fame when he leaped, manacled, into the Chicago river In midwinter. Pauline Eckhart and company, three clever women, are coming in an amus ing playlet, "Women," written by Kato Keith and Frank Whittier, two short Story writers. It Is described as a surprise story based on feminine foibles and fancies, laughably exposed. Further variety and amusement will be contributed by Lawrence Johnston, premier ventriloquist, who brings a laughable dummy to assist in presenting his comedy chatter and pongs. "The Un expected" la the caption with which Maurice and Girlie present, their lively mixture of comedy talk, accordion play ing and balancing ' feats; 11 " ' ' PANTAGES Charlie Murray. Mac Bennett's famous film comedlan.l'wrtl bo seen In person by Portlanders as the headline attraction at Pantagee. com mencing Monday matinea. Murray is not like the usual picture Star who makes a "'personal appearance" in vaudeville. ; The chief difference lies In the fact that h Is an experienced actor and entertainer, who brings teethe stage more than a mere screen person ality. Tils monologue and his "Movie land Gossip" .are filled " with laughter. After telling many good stories, Murray invites his audience to ask any leglti- I mate question concerning their favorite picture stars and In reply gives the 'Mow down" on the celcbraties. While bis answers are authentic, they have a touch of humor and keep his audiences in a roar of laughter. Misa Maud Daniels presents "The Ris ing Generation" as one of the stellar features on the bill with Murray, and the' ten clever youngsters are a source of delight in their singing, dancing and impersonations. The ""Three White KuTins," another added feature with Murray, offer a lively musical and ring ing program that has been Scoring all along the way and they have always been favorites here in the past. Rose and Moon, a pretty, vivacious dancing girl and a youth with unusually nimble feet, offer a dancing act that is smartly costumed and well staged.
