The «tory coming from New York that the ^rpheum's next season policy 'voul^J^ be six acts of vaude- ville am! a re.tiure picture iooked at «ret like a direct slap at the big Newman. This house has for a number of months been featuring several high class vaudeville and concert feature, weekly In connec- tion with its first run films, and has built up a most enviable clientele, which the Orpheum officiate have not been slow to observe. An analy- sis of the situation, however, would tend to show that the newly an- nounced policy of the Orpheum Is more of a defensive move or p«r- haps antagonistic action toward the- Pantages. which has been inclined to feature Its pictures over Its vaudeville showing. An illustration of this was demonstrated a couple of we<>k8 ago when the latter house plunged heavily with the Jackie Coogan picture, ^'Daddy," and busi- ness Just about doubled over the preceding weea.

Evidently the manager refuses to discuss the matter. displaying keen versatility and the finesse of a real artist. Jenks and Allen, mixed couple of rural char- acters, with material and comedy suitable for pop-priced audiences, scored heavily, the man's- monolog getting howls in spots. Josephs. Blossom Seeley and Bennle Fields were honored guests at the Planta- tion Cafe last Sunday night, and Miss tieeley awarded a trophy (a silver cup) to winners of the dancing contest held The first daylight lodge of Masons In the State has been formed here and the names of a number of those engaged in the amusement line are enrolled as charter memhers.

LOS ANGELES By ED KRIEQ The Orpheum has Julian Eltlngc headlining this week, with Frisco a late booking and Sylvia Clark switched from the Hillstreet. All are repeating within a short period. The current bill went over sraash- Ingly, despite the familiarity. El- tlnge, with his usual grace and gor- geous wardrobe, portraying feminine tjrpes, repeated his recent succesn. Frisco, with Loretta McDcrmott and Eddie Cox, Justified his return bookinpr. No little credit is due to his assistants, especially Cox, with his fast stepping and ability to put over numbers. Frisco added some new local wise cracks. Miss Clark'* hoarseness didn't deter the little comedienne, playing her third week within a couple .of months, from grabbing a big hit next to closing. Lemalre and Hayes got big laughs with their blackface comedy routine, certain sections getting howls. Fradkin, very much at ease, won heavy appreciation with his violin, with Alfred Parr at the piano. I'aul Decker and Co. in a comedy sketch.

His Impressions of stars included Julian Eltlnge's vam- pire, and brought to view some flne gown creations. His success was emphatic. Valesta Maslova and Co. gave closing position much class. Miss Maslova's sOlo dances, as well as the specialties by supporting members, won nice appreciation. Early and Lalght Trio were out, Noodles Fagln. dividing his single, appearing second, also next to dos- ing. He proved popular in both places, besides facilitating stage conditions. Klass and Brilliant got off to good laughs and finished a hit for their Instrumental work.

Mrs. Wood claimed no sup- port. According to the wife, he earns |100 per week, but she was forced to live on the charity of friends. The couple have three children and have been married since 1911. She asks $500 attorney fees and |200 a month for separate maintenance. , The trial of Gaston Glass and Louis Gasnicr. motion picture celeb- rities, has been postponed until July 10. The cause of the delay was Attorney Ray L. Chesbro, who claimed It would be impossible for him to appear because of a recent appointment with another client.
