has worked too well, the wife seeks
to break Off the tentative engage
ment by telling the friend that her
husband has temper and Is a wife
beater. However. the future wife
smillngly declares she will cure him
OF such habits. The husband Ia not
in the secret and adds to the com.
plications. In the end the wife is
cured of her fancied illnesses, but
never learns just how II happened.
Laura Hope Crews played the
wife. Grace Filiston the helpful
friend and Robert Warwick the hus-
band.

character comedian whose Hebrew
and Italian specialties are well
done. The Mayvilles, living marion
cites only 22 inches high have
unique turn, while Honey Johnson.

"The Chocolate Soldier" at the
Casino is rapidly approaching its
two hundredth performance. Its
music, of higher class than is u.s.

made it justly popular.
John Mason continues his en-

his new starring vehicle, None SO

the masterful civil engineer, Mr..
Mason has been endowed with
character that gives him excellent
opportunity for his powerful acting.

At the Orpheutn

Two special features will be pre-
scented on the coming bill at the
Orpheum, one of which is a distinct
novelty in this section. 1t will be
La Petite Gosse" of the Apache
dance, which will be presented by
- company of IL people. The dance
is staged by M. Zobedies, the great
mimic pantomimist and ballet
dancer. and was tremendous feat
ure hit in The Queen of the Mou-
lin Rogue" The Apache dance is
not a rattlesnake dance of the
American Indians, as the uniniti-
ated might presume bat is dance
such as is to be seen in the under
world of Paris and is hilarious in
the extreme, while it is effective
and interesting at the same time.
The other big feature on the pro-
gram will be the appearance OF
Will Cressy and Blanche Dayne in
their famous sketch, THE Wyom-
ing Nhoop." Nothing need be said
to those who have seen Mr.. Cressy
this week in "Bill Biffin's Baby"
for he has demonstrated his ability
both to write and play his sketches.
"The Wyoming WhOop' is sketch
entirely different from the present
offering and has the breezy west
ern atmosphere.
A quartet of melodious songbirds
will be presented in Max Wits
Girls from Melody Lane" ''They
sing-that's ALL" is the way they
are billed and their press notices
indicate that they have not exag-
gerated their ability as entertain
ers. The quartet is composed of
Ada Adair, soprano: Eleanor Ell
lott, meZzo soprano; Anne Hath
away, alto; Nina Barbour. con
tralto. Twists and turns on the hOr-
eiZontal bar, together with an abun-
dance of comedy, materially as
sisted by grotesque makeuns. will
make the offering of SIZZLING and
Revell popular one. While they
do some remarkable triple bar
work, it is in the falls that they
excel Nonettc, a popular and tai
ented young musician with ability
to. sing as well as play the violin,
is an entertainer who will appeal
to the public She dresses in the
picturesque Bohemian gown, which
she was the first to affect, and
which gives her the appearance of
the gypsy musician. Two clever
black face comedians will appear
on the bill in the persons of Nc
Intyre and Groves in a skit entitled
'My Fathers Train" Mankin, the
frog man. one Of the most remark
able contortionists on the stage,
will present his beautiful act amid
appropriate settings. The agility
of the actor and the effectiveness
of the settings relieve the act of
anything of repulsive nature. as
sometimes the case in cOntor-
ZIONIST features.
The usual motion pictures and
music by the Ornheum orchestra
will round out the bill

"Canticler" in America next sea-
son, will begin his repertoire sea

London, next Monday night and a
number of his stars are planning
to send him congratulations and
bouquets.
Maxine Elliott is said to be sue
cess in spanking breeze in her
nautical farce comedy, THE Infer
ior Sex" at Days. The concensus
of opinion is that she has never
had play so worthy of her talents
as a comedienne. She will remain
at Days until early in the summer.
Billie Burke in Mrs. Dot" begins
her third week at the Lyceum thea
ter. AS Mrs. Dot, she is fascinat-
ing young widow in whose path all
the traditional obstacles of true
love are waiting. Her circumven-
ton of them. especially her way of
baking the pursuit of the young
man who elopes with her young
mans fiancee, is very amusing.
With a poker and a carving knife
she destroys an automobile, but she
stops the chase.
William Collier, who is always
"a Lucky Star" was never more so
than in the play of that name which
is at the Hudson theater. "a Lucky
Star" gives William Collier an OPP
portunity for his comedy on a
motor houseboat on the canals of
Holland, with background of beau
tiful scenes and an accompaniment
of pretty girls all chaperoned by
a Scotch aunt (Marjorie Wood OBJ

CHICAGO HEN FIRST TO LAY
TINTED EGGS, SAYS RIDDLE

CHICAGO, Feb. ga certain
hen at Cornell may as well stop
cackling. Chicago hens have her
beaten to a FRAGILE"
"The process of making hens lay
any colOred egg desired is by no
means new one" explained Prof.
Oscar f. Riddle of the University Of
Chicago today. 1--WE have made
these experiments for the last three
years, and we find that eggs may
be colored any tint we desire sim
ply by placing dye in the food
which we give the hen. For in
stance, if we want a purple egg, we
give the hen some purple dye in
the corn meal. The hens eat this,
and a day or two later, when she
lays an egg, we find purple ring
around the outer edge of the yolk.
If we keep feeding her purple dye.
in the course of week the yolk be-
comes deep purple"
But can nothing be done to pro-
duce an egg which will have a col
ored shell?' the experimenter was
asked.
Our experiments along that line
are not as complete as with the in
terror of the egg" was the reply,
but | have found that a dye called
alizarin' will produce pink shell,
and suppose that there are other
dyes which will produce other col
ors.
You see," he explained, "our ex-
periments are not to try to find a
process to color eggs. That is all
secondary We are working for
process of oxidation and reduction
of germ cells, and the discovery of
the possibility of obtaining colored
eggs was merely of minor interest.
ITO return to the eggs and col
ors. These experiments were car
ried on while the plumage of the
hen was growing, and another in
teresting fact was suddenly noticed.
The roots of the feathers and then
the feathers themselves took on. to
a degree, the color of the dye. This
created a strange looking bird. l

to show you," added DR.. Riddle,
but am sorry to say that our sup
ply of hens Is limited and none at
present exhibit the tinted feathers"

WHEN SLY CUPID TRIPS A MEASURE

SEATTLE. Feb. 26.-Can young
Dan Cupid trip the light fantastic?
Why, say, he's bear cat.
Verb gratia." as the lawyers
would say. Which means las for
example,:
Up in the northwest there is a
pretty, dainty accomplished miss
of 10 summers. Besides being very
pretty, dainty, accomplished, she is
very, very rich. That is, her father
is. She is Miss Betty Williams,
once of Chicago, but now of Seat
tie. Her father is H. r. Williams,
millionaire railroad magnate, presi-
dent of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound railroad. Mr.. Williams
is known in the northwest as the
Sphinx That's because he is very
silent. He is supposed to be very
stern, and very, very severe.
Up in the northwest, too, over in
Spokane, is a very busy young man.
He sells automobiles. He's not rich,
but he is chock full of grit and
hustle and American manhood.
Now, ever since she came out"
the exclusive social circles of the
northwest have been much worried
over the question of what part
Cupid would play in the affairs of
Miss Betty. 1t was generally admit
ted that she would be carried away
by some foreign title or some do
nestle man of millions.
The exclusive circles didn't
worry much about the affairs of
young Zane.
Well. last fall. certain of Seattle's
social leaders with a penchant to-
ward the footlights, gave a charity
entertainment, the Kirmess. Among
those present was one Dan Cupid,
rugged out in his best bib and tuck
err. Doubtless he had heard the So
cial butterflies worrying over the
matrimonial future of pretty Miss
Betty. Probably he heard about the
stern papa. 1t is certain that he
heard the talk about foreign titles
and domestic millions. For when
Miss Betty and young Zane held
the stage together in a Marsovian
peasant dance, We have exclusive
information that Dan snapped his
fingers and calculated derisively
something about "Pouf for the title
and the millions! There's
match"
With that. he got right up on the
stage and danced the whole thing
through. keeping step with Miss
Betty and Master Zane and gener-

At the Pantages

Next week, when Frank Mayne
brings his newest vaudeville drama
to Pantages, theatergoers will be
given an excellent opportunity to
see in just what manner the city
police force extracts confession
from supposed criminal when
they have first built up case
against him by circumstantial evil
dence. In this effort, which has
been called THE Third Degree"
and which has been written by
Campbell MacCulloch especially for
Mr.. Mayne, and it is of the protean
order, which is said to mean that
Mr.. Mayne finds in it an opportun-
ity to display his truly remarkable
powers as versatile actor by as
Stunning the character of the pris-
oner charged with the crime and of
the various witnesses who appear
to testify, somewhat unwillingly,
against him. The story is said to
be one of the most enthralling that
has ever been placed upon vaude-
vile stage.
Another big act Is that of Bunth
and Rudd, grotesque comedians
dancers, and iugglers and burlesque
artists who will present an endless
variety Of novelties from the old
world" Although both are Ameri
can born, they have spent most OF
their time in the other continents
and have had some very funny ex
periences in that part of the world
Dilla and Templeton, In novelty
contortion act, "The Goblen Den,
with special scenery and lighting
effects, will be one Of the most
pleasing numbers to be seen. Both
are very good contortionists. in
fact, one paper back east said they
were too good to be missed. Claude
and Marion Cleveland. the harmon
sizing couple" will be heard in a
budget Of song and gossip. Charles
Hughes and His Singing Girl and
The Four Banta Brothers, in a high
class musical act. will complete the
list of acts and the Pantagescope
will complete the show.

would be the result? Would it be
colored chicken all the way
through or would the colors fail to
show at all?"
1--WE would get a colored chick

fat parts of the chicken would be
colored. Whether or not the skin
of the bird itself and the feathers
would take on the tint of the dye l
cannot say, for have never per-
formed that experiment"
DR.. Riddle asserts that he is the
first to conduct these experiments
which resulted in the colored egg
discovery, though the same ones
have since been conducted in other
university laboratories.
