PANTAGES

Something out of the ordinary on
the vaudeville circuits is offered
this week in the Hearts and
Flowers company with a well car
ried out burlesque in which an in
dividual with a ludicrous makeup
represents the moon and a pretty
young thing an enchanted fairy
matching her magic against the
moons. Some good singing and
dancing are included. Ross &
Adams talk to beat the Dutch.
Clara Dagneau and her dancing
boys were much appreciated. The
Bradys are amusing in a few min
utes of singing, dancing and kid
ding. The Stubblefield Trio, aerial
lists, do sensational trapeze act
in which they cling by their teeth,
fascinating the audience.

HOLDUPS WOUND

Three holdups about $3.50 o'clock

and a bullet plowed its way
through the victims scalp at the

dwelling and summoned the police.
The thugs escaped. Davis could not
describe any of them in detail and
there are apparently no hopes Of
their capture.

The dramatized version of RIP
Van Wrinkle" seems destined to
live with Irvings story, from which
it was taken. Under the Jeffersons,
father and son, it has become a
fixed classic of the American stage,
apparently. For 40 years they
have presented it, and when the
younger Thomas Jefferson appears
in it Wednesday evening at the
Spokane, probably as enthusiastic
and large a crowd will greet it as
any popular attraction could draw.
This years costuming and staging
is announced as equal to any.

The Press comes to you this
evening, filled with pride and joy.
This newspaper has a magnificent
duty to perform, and it will per-
form this magnificent duty with
characteristic precision and faith
full loyalty to every man, woman
and child in this great city and
community; bar none.
The Press is going to publish a
picture of Mr.. A. ID. McMix. There,
the secret is out.
Read the sign on the curtain
above and then hold your breath
until tomorrow if you CAM.
For, on the morrow, the curtain
goes up. Positively, absolutely,
ascends!
Isn't 1t simply splendid? Yes,

yes, a real picture of McMix. A
picture that you may clip out and
have framed or mail to your near
est and dearest friend, or, while
life lasts, you may keep it locked
in a strong box with your rarest
treasures, and at the end, when
the long sleep comes, you may
clasp this picture in your cold
hands. In such an hour 1t would
be solace and a satisfaction.
The Press will print that pic
ture!
Tomorrow the curtain goes up,
revealing the splendid. superb and

AUDITORIUM

The regeneration of Leah
Kleschna, thief by birth and oc-
cupation, forms the basis on which
the play of the same name rests.

watch the curtain? Ha, ha-what a
foolish question. Why, you can't
keep your eyes off of 1t!
Dear readers, you we'll know that
The Press is not given to vain
boasting. And when we say that
we will positively publish a picture
of A. d. McMix, we mean 1t, and
you can safely wager that the
promise will be fulfilled. We will

productions. The play drags some
what in the opening parts; there
are SO many villains that 1t takes
some time to become familiar with
all of them, hence people did not
seem to warm up to the French at
mosphere Of the play until the
third act. Miss Shirley portrayed
the title role in her usual effective
manner, and along with George
McQuarrie as Paul Sylvaine, the
idealist who induced her to turn
to the better life, received a floral
remembrance from some admiring
friend. Frank McQuarrie as
Kleschna, the thief and father of
Leah, had a heavy part; likewise
Charles Richmond; as Schram, the
accomplice Of Kleschna, and
Thomas Hebron as Raoul Berton,
the degenerate son of a good fam
lily. Jack Amory appeared for one
act as General Berton and was at
home, as usual.

the music of the Ellery band which
appears here this week at the COLI

a unity that bands rarely achieve. 1t
is as if each instrument were but a
separate tube of great pipe organ
and Di Girolamo a master organist.

with even greater enthusiasm than the

ceeding evening, the programs of the
