Grace George and Comedy
at Auditorium Next Week
LILY LENA AN
ORPHEUN STAR
Lily Lena, the daintiest of all
English comediennes, heads a cork
ing bill which opens at the Or
pheum with the matinee tomorrow
afternoon and her return will be
most welcome. When she ap
peared here last June she was ten
dered an ovation and her success
over the entire circuit resulted in
a return engagement. English
comediennes, including Vesta Vic
toria, Alice Lloyd and Clarice
Mayne, have been seen in America,
b£* none have scored more heavily
than Lilly Lena. She comes with
a lot of new songs and she sings
them in a style which wins her un
limited applause.
"The Code Book," a dramatic
sketch which will be presented by
Messrs. Hammond and Atwell
company, deals with the attempts
of Colonel Nakamura of the Jap
anese army to obtain copies of the
secret signals and code of the
United States army. The Jap im
personates a Filipino and works
hlmsell into the good graces of the
commandant of a recruiting sta-
Paul Spadonl, the inimitable, has
been brought back to America for
a tour over the Orpheum circuit.
Tills master juggler is in a class
by himself and juggles everything
from a cigarette paper to a bed
lounge.
A dainty and highly pleasing
musical number will be presented
by George Lyons and Bob Yosco,
"Sons of Italy." Lyons is a harp
ist of rare ability, while Yosco is
an adept on the violin and is a
pleasing singer as well.
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hughes will
present their highly exciting farce
entitled "Suppressing tho Press,"
which has scored a tremendous
success. The story deals with the
endeavors of Mr. and Mrs. Olmsted
to keep the evening paper out of
the hnnds of each other. Each be
lieves he or she has been responsi
ble for the death of a man, acci
dentally of course, and the paper is
believed to contain the horrible de
tails. Tho farce is a roaring one
with a laugh in every line.
Mack and West, "The High
Toned Minstrel and His Rambling
Friend," have a highly pleasing
blackface diversity filled with
pleasing comedy patter and dance
steps which are original and lively.
Wolf aud Zadella have an acro
batic comedy creation along orig
inal lines, entitled "At Hotel
Healthy." The man and woman
are capable acrobats and have set
their act In a way to make it more
than ordinarily entertaining.
GRACE GEORGE IN
"A WOMAN'S WAY"
Grace George will be soon in "A
Woman's Way" at the Auditorium
shortly. The character which Miss
George assumes is that of Marion
Stanton, the young wife, who de
cides that if a husband is worth
having in tho first place, he is
worth lighting for In the last, Is
neatly, truly drawn, witb an ample
amount of natural humor, and just
enough touches of sentiment to
make it real.
"THE PRINCE TONIGHT"
One of the strongest musical at
tractions that will be seen this year
will he at the Auditorium on Sunday
the Knd,
"The Prince of Tonight" is the
title, and It is headed by Henry
Woodruff, the well known leading

ARAB HORSES
AT WASHINGTON
A program consisting of mirth,
novelty and fun will be offered at
tlu? Washington for tho coming l
week. Heading the bill will be a
most pretentiously staged Equest
rian exhibition presented by Mmc,
Bedini, with her beautiful Arabian
thorougbreds, "Bon and Bealmo."
Mine. Bedini has won high praise
in Europe and America for her won
derful horsemanship and her ap
pearance in Spokane Will no doubt
arouse much enthusiasm among loc
al horsemen. Her Arabian spec
mens are highly trained and are
put through an exhibition never be
fore seen on any stage.
Dick Crollus and company will
offer one of the funniest of race
track sketches, entitled "Shorty."
DICK COWLINS, AT THE WASH
INGTON.
In the parlance of the race track, it
Is termed "Vaudeville's One Host
Bet," and is all that and more. The
story of "Shorty" briefly told Is
that of a race track tout who is In
duced by a Rambler to dope a horse
at the track. Tho horse wins and
the gambler refuses to divide the
winnings and then the fun starts
fast and furious.
Comedy equilibrists and acrobats
are the Three Nevarros, who come
•"THE Bell Telephone keeps the traveler
* in touch with all the resources of
civilization.
The Bell Sign becomes an old and tried friend.
He can order bis dinner, explain bis delay, sum
mon relief in an emergency, or say the word forgot
ten in the hurry of starting. He can do this from
almost any point on the road, because the liell Sys
tem has stretched out its lines to meet his unex
pected needs.
The Bell Telephone not only furnishes neighbor
hood communication, but give's Long Distance Ser
vice throughout the whole system.
PLA YS AND PLA YERS IN SPOKANE
* "THE FLAYS THE THING"
next on the list. They are Europ
ean artists and their feats are the
most astounding known to the ac
robatic world. Their comedy crea
tions are decidedly funny and en
tirely original.
A clever and artistic exhibition
of bag punching and equilibristic
feats wil be offered by the Misses
Excela and Franks. These ladies
are perfect specimens of physical
culture attributes, being beautiful
in figure and face. Their offering
is exceedingly sprightly and re
freshing.
Phil Staats, the unctions come
dian, wil present a number that is
one of the best laughs of the pro
gram. Mr. Staats' comedy is all
original and his method of present
ing it is decidedly unique.
Miss Emily Bener, the phenom
enal baritone soloist, will furnish
a musical number that will be a
decided treat, consisting of select
ions which are especially suited to
her voice. Besides being a beauti
ful singer Miss Boner has a stage
presence that is most charming and
a beautiful face and form.
Stage Make-Up
Hannen Swaffer recently ad
dressed the Gallery First Nighter's
club in London and stated that
Charles Frohnian had proved by his
success with his London Repertory
theater that he was the only man in
the world who could give the mod
ern British drama the chance that
It deserved.
Hattie Williams has scored a new
success by apeparlng in a serious
emotional role. Her "Edith Farrlng
ton." in the one act play, "A Maker
of Men." by Alfred Sutro, author of
"The Walls of Jericho," has won
her a remarkable personnl triumph.
The new piece is presented as a
curtain raiser to her farce. "The
Girl He Couldn't Leave Behind
Him," at the Garrick theater.
The following note appeared in
the New York Advertiser of De
cember 4. 1851: "The fourth annual
benefit of the American Dramatic
Fund took place yesterday at
Nlblo'B garden. Among those who
appeared was a very remarkable
Child, 8 years of age. named Adelinn
Patti. Her voice and execution as
tonished the audience."
William Collier has received the
following letter from Charles U. Dil
lingham, in regard to his famous
"Collier's Weakly": Dear Mr. Col
lier—l wish to thank you and the
exchange editor for the copy of
"Collier's." It is the best magazine
in town. Yours sincerely, C. 11. Dil
lingham."

THE SPOKANE PRESS
BIG ACROBATS
AT PANTAGES
Commencing with the matinee
Sunday, May 8, Manager Walker
of the Pantages has secured for his
headline attraction, the Four Emil
lons, European equilibrists and
flying acrobats. A direct, importa
tion from Europe booked by tho
foreign agent who says: "Tne
work of this clever troupe is more
than marvelous." The following is
a criticism taken from one of the
eastern papers: "The Four Emil
lons have an acrobatic act with
which they have good reason to be
satisfied. Their clever and diffi
cult work is greatly appreciated
by the audience, receiving round
after round of applause. They are
up-to-date in their line and cer
tainly treat the audience to some
sensational work.
"The Man From Denver," a
sketch played by .las. A. Smith &
Co., in which is introduced the
noted western character, "The
Dope Fiend," a familiar character
in the great western mining coun
try. Laype and Benjamin, comic
acrobats and barrel jumpers. Their
work consists of ground tumbling,
barrel and table jumping. The fin
ishing trick is the most sensational
of all. One man does a backward
drop from a high pedestal to the
stage, alighting on his hands on a
table before alighting on the stage.
Charley Harris, late leading com
edian with Klaw & Erlanger's big
production, "Tho Top of the
World," will be a big factor on next
week's bill.
Lewis and Lloyd, singers and
dancers, and the Dumond Duo,
street musicians, together with the
Pantagescope, will make a very
big summer show.
