The Princess 'I'hc Princess nfferinq- for the first part of this week is materially strengthened by the presence of "That Irishman," Tom Kelly, he of the ro- bnst voice, jierfect a]ii)carance, naive wit and wonderfully clever ability. "Our Tom" has the strict attention of his auditors for the 22 minutes he tells his new talcs of "O'I'ricn," and sings so forcefully. We shall miss this ex- cellent fellow when he departs, July 7, for .Australia and a tour of the world —luigland, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and "Jales," as he expresses it. Bon voyage. Tom. Arve, the eccentric vio- linist, renders some really artistic vio- lining for twelve minutes. This near- genius is well received for the effort. Others on the bill are the Two Vinet- tas, who o])en the show. This English act, a man and woman do an acr(j- batic turn of little merit for 11 min- utes. Joe Eckstein, tiie dialectician, attempts Hebraic titles. His dialect is fair, voice poor and comedy the same. Time, 14 minutes. Rosecka and Picks, a Nubian act. Four are in the number—one woman and three males. The vocal offering of one of the male members saves the number from me- diocrity. Time, 17 minutes—too much. Animated photoplay augments. The l)ill changed Wednesday, as follows: La.sky's Original Six Hoboes; The Ciieat Siefried, .America's mono])ede athlete; Livera Bros., a novelty musi- cal duo; Tom Kelly; Janis and Clark, The Two Pals, in singing and dan- cing. Portola Louvre The Portola-Louvre cabaret offering for the current week was dignified by the presence of Big Tom AIcGuire, the perennially popular Irish singer of Scotch songs, who has just returned from a .successful tour of .Australia. This extremely likeable artist's rece])- tion on his return to the Portola- Louvre almost mounted to an ovation, and his wonderful renditions of Harry Lauder's successes fairly surpassed tiie great .Scotch singer. His act is clev- erly dressed. The .standard feature of the Portola-Louvre, tiie Anna Held (^irls, introducing P'velyn King and her twelve dancing dolls, met with generous approbation. The Tyrrells, billed as the .Australian middies, were on the bill, playing a return engage- ment, and their high-class singing and dancing specialty ])leased the critical audience. ()tlier meritorious acts on the i)rogram were Mile. Luisa I'reson- ier and Michele Giovacchini in an op- eratic duo and solos. Hazel Marshall, the society singer; Clara Clay, the Bo- hemian girl; and the second and last week of the .Spanish dancers, the fav- orite in Italy, the La Rose Trio. Monte Carter Returns to Wigwam Monte Carter will return to the Wigwam Theatre on July i2tii for an extended engagement. Bob Fitzsimmons Indicted in the East NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.. June 5.—Robt.

Adgie's Lions Kill Trainer C illC.AGl ). June 21.—ICmerson 1). Dietrich of Brooklyn, manager of a theatrical ])roduction presenting a troui^e of trained lions, was killed and ])artly devoured tonight by six lions when he entered the car in which they were caged. While the keepers were trying to recover Dietrich's body, a lion escaped from an adjoining cage and terrorized residents of the thickly populated ([uarter in which the car stood before the animal was captured. George McCord, keeper of the lions, said that when Dietrich went into the den he began to play with one of the lions, h'our of the animals were facing him. iMually one of them slunk around behind him and in a minute was on his back. The others leai)ed for him a moment later. Trilby, the old- est of the lions, tried to save him, but the others pushed her away and she quit and watched them without joining in the attack. The lions were owned by Mme. Adage Castillo, to whom Dietrich w^as engaged to be married. Adgie is well known out here where she claims her home. Vaudeville Notes L barley King and \ irginia Thorn- ton will olJen on the Pantages time next Sunday in their pleasing sketch, W hen Love is Young. [as. Dervin, the noted ventriloijuist, looking hale and hearty is among us again. James is always working, but "tlie piano being mahogany, not con- cert i)itch" was the best laugh getter ever told on the up-State piano player, where Jim played a date recently. Come back with another one, Jim. .Sid Grauman is back from his Chi- cago and New York trip. Two weeks was all he wanted of the East. (icorge W. .Stanley jumped in at short notice this month at Pantages and ])layed a important part in The Love Cha.se w-ith s|)lendid results. A. T. h-llis returned from the Aus- tralian tour Thursday, where he was a member of an acrobatic team. Mr. Ellis is also an expert cornetist and will i>lay Coast dates. Word has been received that \ ictor Morley, a motion-picture actor, for- merly with the California Motion Pic- ture Company of San Rafael, and wanted there for forgery, lias esca])e(l from the County Jail in Portland, where he was serving six months for vagrancx'. Spotlights The Italian actress, Mimi Agu- glia, will be seen at the Cort The- atre following the engagement of Nat (ioodvvin in Never Say Die. Cnusual interest attaches to this engagement, for Mme. .Aguglia's fame has traveled far. Her success in New A'ork and Chicago has been quite as great as it was on the other side of the .Atlantic. .Although .\guglia speaks in Italian, it is not necessary to understand that lan- guage in order to enjoy her acting. Among the notable attractions due at the Cort Theatre in the near future is the Gilbert & Sullivan Festival Co. in revivals of the world's most famous comic operas. THEATBE Oakdale, Cal. K. C.

I'riedman, a young I'-ast- cru actor of experience and ability, will soon offer on the Coast circuits, a strong dramatic sketch, called A Man's Mind, that is treated in a de- cidedly novel way. Mr. Friedman, who is the author, wrote the piece, and those who have seen it pronounce it one of great excellence. Mr. Fried- man is a character actor and has had several years' experience, one notable engagement being for 86 weeks W'ith th Baldwin-Melville Company. He also had the distinction of following Willis Sweatnam in the old negro part in The County Chairman. In his sup- l)ort are Avis Manor, a young and beautiful actress, who has shown great talent with various companies, and h'rank Milke, who is seen to advan- tage in a juvenile part. The sketch carries a beautiful set and has a great novelty in the way of a lobby display. James Dillon will close with the Dillon & King Company in Oakland Jiily 5-
