The Kid KOmedy Klub
Gave 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.
The six lads constituting the cIup
covered themselves with glory as
usual, affording the audience unlimited
mirth by their clever presentations,
monologues and plays.
Donald Dawson, whose clever recita
ton and presentations have won him a
permanent place in the hearts of the
public, appeared in a new role, inter
preting the character of Miss Mary
Mcclure in "Hypnotism," in a lively
Albert SCHNEIDER dialect work has
always brought him hearty applause
but his latest work in the impersona
ton 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
DIR. Yon YGnson-a Swedish Veterinary,
was irresistibly comieal
Fairfield SCHNEIDER 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
full fainting. He has the gift of keep
ing his audience guessing.
Rex Howard as the nervous sutton
in "Dent's office Boy" aroused gales
of laughter, and his troubles in the
character of "Mr. Spots" in the
ssHypnotism" were many and effee-
tive. This young mans clever char
acter work has caused much favorable
comment.
David Towards monologues were
well delivered and much enjoyed. His
playing of "Pat" who was h~pynotized
into a rooster-eonvulsed his audience.
Ted Howard as the Jimmy, the
Office Boy" proved a very effeetual
tr~oublemaker, giving a clever bur
esque Of a %precocious youngsters idet

This case il Of vital Importance to the

as to whether the eastern roads in
selling round trip tickets to the Paeific
coast shall charge tourists $3.50 for
returning home by way of Portland or
Seattle. The case was brought before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
some time ago and the extra charge
against this section was ordered dis
continued, Then the railroad secured
anosher hearing and the first decision
nullified, SO that at present the tourist
is paving $3.50 if the route is home
bv the northwest. The May 4 hearing
viii decide whether the thousands Of
tourists ecming to the Pacific coast
next summer will be given the option
of returning by way of this northwest
country without paying the extra
$3.50. Heretofore the northwest has
been Disseminated against, and is now,
unless the Inter State Commerce Com
mission makes a final ruling making
one rate for the returning tourists by
