The Kid Komedy Kkb
Cave Splendid Program
The "Kid Komedy Klub" of the
Fish School of Expression gave its
final public program' last Friday even
ing at the Unitarian church as a Red
Cross benefit, realizing a neat sum
which goes into the Willamette Chap
ter Fund as an individual donation.
Tho six lads constituting the dun
covered themselves with glory a"
usual, tffirding the audience unlimited
mirth by their cVver personations,
monologues and plays.
Donald Davison, whose clever recita
tion and personations have won him a
permanent place in the hearts of the
public, appeared in a new role, inter
preting the character of Miss Mary
McGuire in ''Hypnotism, " in a lively
manner.
Albert Schindler's dialect work has
always brought him hearty applaus
but his latest work in the impersona
tion of Silly Sammy whose lost teeth
add a lisp to his perpetual giggle, and
who is . a little tongue-tied, simply
brought down the house. His work in
Dr. Yon Yonson a Swedish Veterinary,
was irresistibly comical
Fairfield Schindlcr added consider
ably to his laurels as an impersonator
of women, and aroused the envy of all
the girls in the audience by his grace
ful tainting. He has the gift of keep
ing his audience guessing.
Rex Howard as the nervous suitor
in ''Dent's Office Boy," aroused gales
of laughter, and his troubles in the
character of "Mr. Spotts" in the
"Hypnotism" wero many and effec
tive. This young man's clever char
acter work has caused much favorable
comment.
David Howard's monologues were
well delivered and much enjoyed. His
playing of "Pat" who was hpynotized
into a rooster convulsed his audience.
Ted Howard as the '"Jimmy, the
Office &3f," proved a very effectual
troublemaker, giving a clever bur
lesque of a precocious youngster's Sdet
poppa ,,sauuuiog,, sih -JipaSw JO
much to the merriment of "hypnotism.'

To Make Men More Busy
and Some Boys Less So
Object of Ordinances
At the tonight session of the city
council bjesidjes Hhe, introduction of
the ordinance by Alderman Ward mak
ing it unlawful 'for any man to have
too much leisure -time- on "his hands,
another ordinance will be introduced to
curb the boy who finds it convenient
to raise Money by selling merchandise
to the junk man.
The ordinance will provide that the
junk .men shall purchase no merchan
dise from boys under the age of 21
years, unless the youth is accompanied
by one of his parents while making the
sale, or has the consent of one of his
parents in writing.
The plain fact, as viewed by some of
the aldermen, lis that the small boy
will occasionally steal not only troin
others but from his home and carry his
goods to the junk man. While the
junk man has been, obliged to keep
a record of these sales, yet there was
no questions asked as to where the
boy got tho goods. A recent case in
which a boy stole the dishes from his
mother's table, and then sold them for
junk, suggested to the aldermen "that
a more stringent law was necessary.
Hence tho ordinance to bo introduced
tonight.

gree, nevertheless the few dealt in net
ted advances to a point to two points.

coast shall charge tourists $17.50 for
returning home by way of Portland or
Seattle. The case was brought before
the Inter-State Commerce Commission
some time ago and the extra eharg
against this section was ordered dis
continued. Then tne railroad seeureo
ano:her hearing and the first decision
nullified, so that at present the tourist
is pavine $17.50 if the route is home
by the northwest. The May 4 bearing
will decide whether the thousands of
tourists ecming to the Paeifie eoast
next summer will he given the option
of returning by way of this northweHt
country without paying the extra
$17.50. Heretofore the northwest has
been discriminated against, and is now,
unless the Inter-Stste Commerce Com
mission makes a final ruling making
one rate for the returning tourists by
any route.
