PANTAGES. - Heading her own
company as well as an attractive bill
will be Daphne Pollard. perhaps one of
the best known musical comedy ac-
tresses of America, who comes to Pant
ages theater Sunday. She is one of the
original Pollard troupe that came sew
eral years ago from Australia, and be-
sides her great hit with the Lillipu-
tian Opera Company. she has scored
decidedly in prominent roles with some
of the big comic opera stars of Amerl-
ca. with company especially select
ed for the skit, and to show her off
to the best ossible advantage, she will
present the miniature musical comedy
"a Dolls Shop" Several musical
numbers figure in the skit, while seven
players and a complete set of scenery
is carried for the turn.
Another fine act is Miss Camilles
miniature dog circus. The one particu-
lar feature is Miss Floss. who bills
herself as "The Fashion Plate of Dog
dom" and boasts of $4,000 diamond
dress, which seems to be going some
for lady canine.
Allen Shaw comes to manipulate
coins and cards. He is an expert in
his line, his feats being little short
of marvellous.
The music of the bill will be fur
nished by the Haskins- Graham due and
the Variety trio. Mr.. Haskins was
formerly with the Savage Opera COM
pany and is considered one of the
greatest tenors in America. Their act
will be more or less classic in charac-
ter while the variety trio specializes on
late song hits. with timely jests and
some rather clever dancing thrown
in.
Vardman, the we'll known female i'm
personator, will add to the comedy of
the bill, with some of his portrayals
of feminine types from a masculine
point of view. His work is said to be
decidedly out of the ordinary
Animated pictures will be portrayed
by the Pantagescope. The films used
at Pantages are positively first run
and have never been seen in the city
before.

always so very generous in offering
their own services to help the dis
tressed and needy at any time. make
their own appeal for aid. The Theatri-
cal Managers association, for the act
ing force, usually has its show, and
apportions it's fund to care for the
stranded needy or sick players who
are thus prevented from becoming
public charges, or appealing to the
charity of the city, 1t being a theatri-
cal tradition that I'VE take care of our

on the stage and in the box offices, as
