Amusement
Orpheum.
Ralph Dunbar nlway can b
counted on for a dandy good musical
act. His Maryland Slnacra. topping
the Orpheum bill for the first hair,
exceed anything Dunbar has sent to
Memphis In HotiH time. The act Is one
that Is eminently pleasing in every re
apect. , .
Singing old Southern songs in a
fashion That Is so totnlly foreign to
the recent Ja. rag and wild styles
adopted by vaudeville songsters, this
troupe really Is refreshing with every
number. Of course, Dlsle numbers nl
wsvs go over big In the South. Iut
when they are rendered as do Ralph
Dunbar'a Maryland Singers the ballads
and aong nr doubly of value.
Joe Bennett Is some snft-sho
dancer. In addition he does a little of
eventhlng that the , variety state
needs and does It well. Itartlck and
Davis are versatile entertainers. The
Nlkko troupe are dexterous acrobats
from fnr-orf Nippon, who also are
good showmen. Amanda Ortiy com
pletes the vaudeville.
There Is action enough In "Life a
Shadows." feature photoplay, for the
wildest movie bug. One well might
declare the picture Impossible, for In
theme, It Iswell such things Just
don't happen. Hmmy Wehlen Is cast
in the lend.
All together Manager Bertram has a
bangup bill for Orpheum patrons this
half?.

INV wis ' ' I
THE Grand Pass from New York City to Canada
lies up the Hudson River and Lake Charrtplain,
where lived the dreaded Iroquois. Betwegn the head
of the river and the foot of the lake is a Portage
(as the rough paths between the lakes were called,)
that has become famous in history.
Its toil has been trodden by the feet of such men as Champlain,
Johnson, Abercrombie, Montcalm and Burgoyne. In the wari
between the French and English, it echoed with the war whoops of
brutal savages and the cries of helpless pioneers and settlers. During
the Revolutionary war It played an important and historic part.
It was to experienced pathfinders, the Indian guide! and
trappers, that our ancestor entrusted their safety, their
canoes and their baggage On their perilous journeys of
exploration and settlement. Especially in traversing the
Portages, were keen eyes, quick ears and sure feet needed. '
TT is to tires of established reputation, tires that have earned 4
- name for big Mileage and dependable Service, that we entrust
our automobiles and their burdens today, on the great highways
of travel.
Such are PORTAGE TIRES. Built up of many layers of the
stoutest cotton fabrii and cord; fortified and protected by a thick
and tough (but pliant) rubber tread, they combine easyriding
comfort with assured mileage. Through ten years of faithful per
formance they have come to be recognized as trustworthy carriers,
like the old trapper guides that made the first Portagis between
the lakes.
Trust Portage Tires They're Mileage Pathfinders!
