Jean Boydell and Hall Sidare
listed Among Stars
To Appear
"In, Holland." an Intriguing
name for the Fanchon and Marco
production which will be staged
at the - Elsinore theater today
Monday and Tuesday, and well
the show is Just as intriguing and
Just as interesting as name leads
a person to believe.
A number of real stare have
been gathered together for thlt
production and so It Is of the very
best. Just a word about two ot
them.
Jean Boydell toured this circuit
some months ago and made a real
hit. Using her tall lanky figure
to advantage ahe creates consider
able amusement in strikingly com
ical poses. In fact she la a riot o(
laughs and fun from toe momen'
ahe steps onto the stsge until she
reanonds to the final encore. She
sings and ahe dances.
Hsl Sidare. another leader ir
this show, does high kicking at
his specialty and he has toured
the country with several com pan
lea. Experts have pronounced his
work the most perfect of hlgb
kicks.
There are a number, of, other
stars in the group and everyone
does exceptionally fine work.
"In Holland" Is a great Idea
and being such no doubt will be
one of the very best shows to
come to the Elsinore.

Picture Recalls Slaughter of
Men To Be Shown At
Oregon Today
One of the most colorful of
western frontier pictures will be
shown at the Oregon theater to
day in addition to the Singer
Stock company's vaudeville bill.
' This picture was named in hon
or of the state where most of the
scenes actually transpired and
many Incidents are faithful re
productions even unto the exact
locations.
One of the most Important of
these historical locales is in the
vicinity ot Fort Pliil Kearny, on
which took place a massacre of
United States cavalry second In
importance and horror only to the
massacre of Custer and his men
at the batUe of the Little Big-
Horn.
This massacre occurred durlna
the building of a line of forts
stretching across the Indian had
lands of the west. General Car-
rington. in command of several
hundred troops, built Fort Phil
Kearny from logs which were
hauled a distance of about three
miles. As the fort neared comple
tion Indian aack on the logging
train became move and more fre
quent, y
Fettermen led his men into a
heavy ambuscade, w alch had been
elaborately prepared by the red
mea. Not a white man arrived
the fight which followed. Most of
the troopers fell at the first volley
from Indian guns while those who
mea to mate a stand were shot
down, singly, or la groups.

Hell
A Band of Men whose Sweetheart was Death!
PLOM every corner of the world they carrie, that
valiant band of youths whose last illusion and
first women were dim memories, and who had tried
everything in life, but Death !
There .were men from sunny Spain, from far Argen
tina, from Fifth Avenue mansions, from the plains of
Texas, from the downs of Englandand each one had a
past a story to tell more thrilling than fiction. Fearful
tragedies, smashed loves, lost fortunes had driven
some to join that daredevil band of war-fliers. Others
had tried everything in life and still were bored.
Day after day, high above the heaving earth they
flirted with Death, or drove their roaring planes far
behind the enemy lines to land spies in enemy ter
ritory; the most hazardous mission of the war, and
the prize for which they gambled each day.
