DRIP

1t Is really high class vaudeville
at the Orpheum this week. A bill
of unusual merit is shown, with
the honors so well distributed that
no one act overshadows the others,
The telephone girl sketch by Mar
garet Moffat and comapny is fill
ed with real comedy and SO true
to life that it seems like the re,
production of a long familiar
scene. George Hillman and his
school class is somewhat like an
act headlined earlier in the season,
but far ahead of the other in gem
eral merit. The act introduces
nine people, who delight the au-
dience with their singing, dancing
and laughable school room antics.
The three Athletas sisters in their
display of feminine muscular abil-
ity and clever gymnastics have a
strong, clean-cut act. Lonely
Haskell, humorist, had the house
with him from the start. Harry
Armstrong and Billy Clark, singers
and song writer's, rendered some
of their more recent hits, which
found favor with the audience

SPOKANE

"The Servant In the House, "
which opens tonight for the week
at the Spokane, is not classed as a
heavy play Notwithstanding Its
moral purpose. 1t tells an appeal
ing story, but it is also credited
with carrying clean-cut comedy
and exquisite satire combined with
simple humor than can be under
stood by children. The idea of the
leading role is not the impersona.
ton of Christ, but representation
of his methods of dealing with hu.
man problems. Wednesday and
Saturday matinees are included In
the Spokane engagement.

Suppose you had a protege who was

buy her of and later find that she had
already married your friend and ward.

This is the climax offered this week
in when We Were Twenty by
the Columbia players. To say that it
is the best show offered by the COM
pany during it's summer enga cement
would be a verdict open to discussion,

two or three plays the merit of which
has raised them considerably above the
standard usually set by companies who
attempt weekly changes of bill.

Admits Receiving Presents
From Laundryman Who
Was Strangled.
DECLARE THEY FLED
TO ESCAPE PROBE
Theory That Yung Vow Was Killed
as Result of Connection
With Murder.

NEW YORK. July 13.-The first tangi-
bic clue TO the series of Chinese muir
ders which began with the killing Of
Elsie Slgel in the oriental room Of
I.eong Ling, I'm Eighth avenue, is in the
hands OF the police today, following the
arrest of niueteen-year-Old Sadie ERODE
and Fannie Miller on information given
the police by a Chinese spy. which con-
meets the two girls with Yung Vow, the
Chinamau who was found stpangled and
his body damned in his own Washtub
on July /.
These two girls, with a third named
Lily" visited the murdered Chinaman
on the afternoon before he was killed.
The two, under arrest, admit receiving
rich presents from the laundTyman.
They said they ran away and hid al
Concy Island, following the murder, so
that they would not be connected
with it.
Theory Of Police.
The police have been working on the
theory that Yung Vow was killed as
result of some connection he may have
had with the Sisel girl or as result
of a dispute growing out OF the SigeI
killing
The story OF the Chinese spy who
gave Captain Calvin, of the Chinatown
police station, the clues TO the where
abouts of the two girls, differs with the
theory. He says that he has known
that the three girls told their white
sweethearts that Yung Vow had plenty
OF money. that three white men, using
the girls as decoys, went to the China
mans place. murdered and robbed him.
When Captain Calvin arrested Fannie,
a youth named John j. Carlo was with
her. He was also arrested. The police
are now looking for a man known only
as Joe" and an AmeTicanized Chi
nese known as Ton Lee, as a result OF
the arrest Of the two girls.
Still Work On Case.
The police have gone at the sigeI case
with renewed energy, following the ar
rests, and further action is expected.
Prof. George z. Ferguson. chemist, at
Columbia University. said today that,
while he has not yet completed his
analysis Of the organs Of Elsie Sigsl. he
has gone Tar enough to satisfy himself
that the girl was poisoned. Ferguson
says he has not yet determined what
poison the girl took or was given.
The police have discovered that an
AmericaniZed Chinsman bought poison
at a drug store near the house where
Leon lived, shortly before the girl was
killed. They have not yet Identified the
man who bought the drug.

their respective abilities to advantage.
The full strength is shown this week

Miss Edith Bradford is back and look
ing fine thank you. Miss Carrie Rey-

welcome and as glad to be here.
Then all the stay at-hOmes were
there, too: Robinson. Newbold, Her
man Hirshberg, c. W. Philips, Miss
Agnes Finlay, Lena Duer. and Mar
jorie Ramey.
The performance had a name: 'The
Belle of New York" but that did not
matter very much since we were all to-
gether again, and 1T didn't stop any
one from singing the songs he wanted
to when he pleased.
Miss Edith Bradford received an
ovation before she said a word, and
some more of the same thing after
she sans And when she interpolated
zip Aye-Adee-I-Ay, she made her
triumph complete. Washington has
been accustomed TO see her in the
leading roles of more pretentious
comic operas, but last night she cast
of her dignity and put on tights just
to celebrate. And she was so alto
gether charming In this almost-alto-
gether role that when she asked US
to sing, too. we did it-almost.
A Few interpretations.
Of course this song did not right
fully belong in 1.-THE Belle of New
York" Neither did There Comes
Night When We All Get Tight" but
Newbold and the company sang
it so joyously that the audience be
came very dissipated and called for
more entirely too often for proprietys
sake.
another song new 10 this comic opera,
but Joe Ednfunds and Grace Turner
made it worth while, and Miss Edith
Bradford was responsible for a fourth
Interpolation in Come to the Land Of
Bohemia" A MAZE chorus in the bal
cOny said they would come, too, and
II was suggested by many Of the au-
dience that everybody go several times
which was done until Miss Bradford de-
clined TO make any more trips.
Some Who Scored.
Miss Bradford by no means won all
the honors. Miss Agnes Finlay, as a
Salvation Army girl, then as Chief Of
the Reformation Brigade for the rec
lamation Of something or other, and
last as a French daDseUse scored three
times. Mr.. Hirshberg gave to the
polite lunadc an impersonatiOn con-
siderably above that expected Of a sum-
mer opera company. Robinson Newbold
proved that his success as a comedian
is not wholly due TO his resemblance to
Raymond Hitchcock. Last night he de-
parted widely from his makeup in The
Yankee Consul and brought laughs on
his own account just as rapidly as he
did last week in a role Hitchcock used
TO play
