GERMAN EXHIBIT
IN GREAT DISPLAY
WILE BE A CREDIT
Morris Meyerfeld Returns
From Trip Abroad With
Parcel of Good News
for the City
TRAVELS IN EUROPE
FOR DOUBLE PURPOSE
Orpheum Affairs Mingled
With Some Boosting for
Panama-Pacific Fair
"Whatever the official action of the
(rovernment may be, I have been per
sonally assured by German manufac
turers that they Intend to send exten
sive exhibits to the Panama-Pacific ex
position," said Morris Meyerfeld Jr.,
president of the Orpheum circuit.
Meyerfeld returned home yesterday
afternoon from a five months' trip
abroad, during which he visited Eng
land. France and Germany for the
benefit of his health, the Orpheum af
fairs and the exposition.
During- his stay ln Germany Mr.
Meyerfeld went to Westphalia, the
place of his birth. ' This is the steel
manufacturing metropolis of Germany,
and he visited the leading producers of
steel and by many of them was as
sured of their intention to exhibit in
San Francisco in 1915.
Tn Vienna he smoothed away such
difficulties as time and space between
this city and the fatherland had cre
ated and induced many timorous but
prospective exhibitors to conclude in
favor of the fair. From Vienna there
win arrive soon, said Mr. Meyerfeld, a
de'»gnte whose business will be to plan
and establish a variety of concessions
that will be creditable to the great
nation.
GOOD RESULTS IN PARIS
Like results attended his activities
In Paris, and Meyerfeld was pleased to
Ki\e the assurance that Europe is
awake to tiie possibilities of the expo
sition.
With respect to his own corporate
enterprise, the Orpheum. Mr. Meyer
feld returns ln no less optimistic
mood. A few days before starting
home he and Alfred Butt, managing
director of the Palace ln London, closed
a 62 year lease on a property in Paris
In rear of the Grand Opera, where
there will soon arise a new theater in
the Orpheum's international string of
piny houses.
It will be a copy of the theater
opened last year by Butt and Meyer
feld for their respective interests in
London, and will be called the Victoria
Palace. The addition of the contem
plated Paris playhouse, which will be
in Rue Megador, will give the Or
pheum two theaters in Paris, the other
being the famous Alhambra.
SIXTY KEW ACTS
Martin Beck, general manf ger of the
Orpheum, met the president in Paris
and the twain selected for American
exploitation about 60 new acts. "We
secured," said Mr. Meyerfeld, "prac
tically every act of consequence and
novelty."
Among the most notable engage
ments effected was that of Karma
Karinova, who is, says Mr. Meyerfeld,
a Dane, and whose dancing recently
created a sensation in Paris at the
Theater Michel.
The speaker visited the Ghent expo
sition near Brussels. "I was proud of
California." said Mr. Meyerfeld. "This
Is the only state of the union that Is
exhibiting, and, though the display is

able and has created a splendid Im
pression.

A Little More About These Waists: Low Priced at 85c to $2
Not overlooking the fact of an appreciation on Monday and Tuesday that was very gratifying, we are aware that there are still many women who have found them
selves as yet unable to call.
Swiss and hand-machine embroidery arc among
the touches that make these low priced Waists
particularly to be desired. Here is one at 85*?
with a front very simply made with groups of fine
tucks and an embroidered panel that falls from
yoke to belt, bordered on either side by cotton
Torchon lace insertion. A saucy little bit of vel
vet in a tiny shell buckle at the throat adds to the
attraction. The collar is high.
Of many styles marked at $1.00 —we find a
Waist, the front of which is made* of four strips
of wide insertion alternating with deep plaits.
Two of these strips are carried over the shoulder
and down the back. Lingerie buttons at the
throat are introduced by way of variety. Inser
tions of lace and tucks around three-quarter
length sleeves are consistent with the decoration
of the front.
In This Sale There Are Also Dressier Waists Marked at Proportionate Reductions. Sale Prices: $5.00, $5.95, $8.50, $10.75—Waists of fine voile, batiste
or mull with hand embroidery; elaborate combinations of lace and insertion; novel and quiet designs. Also many of all-over net, with application of rich lace or em
broider}-.
Fresh From the Looms of St. Gall Come These Embroidery Strips
Priced at Ur re P utat i° n or extraordinary values in Embroideries is not in vain. We realized, when we announced such an event as
this that the appreciation of the feminine public would be emphatic, so we provided a plentiful supply. These Embroidery QllT Owtl
Flllly strips were not bought from samples, nor were they bought from jobbers or importers, who each need their little share of profit.
jj ff Bought at the St. Gall factories and coming to us directly—a combinaion of remarkable quality of workmanship and material F^ifCCt
KJTie-JLialj with beauty of design—they possess an individuality uncommon to usual sale merchandise. There is an abundance of the small,
D 11/1 neat, tasteful patterns, as well as the larger, more elaborate, open ones. Buying entire surpluses from the factories, there are, IfTlt)oTtatiOTl
lXCai V aIUC naturally, some imperfect pieces, but they will be sold as such, and by far the greatest majority are perfect in every way.
These Embroideries Grow Even Better As We Go Deeper Into the Piles of Crisp Whiteness—New patterns are continually being uncovered that will delight as
much as those shown on the opening days of the sale. The values in workmanship and material are even sometimes more surprising than at first.
Edgings, Insertions, Galloons, Bands, Corset Covers, Flouncings, a Yard sc, 10c, 15c, 25c, 48c, 55c

JAPANESE TO VACATE
WESTERN ADDITION
Offer Made to Move Them Into Ori
ental Section at Stockton Street
and Grant Avenue
A movement is under way by the
Chinatown Property Owners Improve
ment association to have the Japanese
now located in the Western Addition
remove into Stockton street and Grant
avenue, into new buildings, which are
to be specially constructed for them
by members of the association.
It Is the contention of the property
owners that the oriental quarter pos
sesses great advantages for the Japa
nese merchants because of the tourist
travel through there, which does no
reach that part of the city where the
Japanese are at present.
At a meeting of the property own
ers and the Japanese Association of
America to be held next week the n< w
plan will be presented by a committee
from the property owners consisting
of George E. Terry, Newton G. Coh:
