The Oaks sought to portray the resort as
“The People’s Park” in Portland
The forty
“Imperial Hungarian Hussars,” as they called
themselves, drew crowds to the gates even
before the park opened for the season –
Folks were eager just to hear the band
practice. A newspaper review had this to
say: "The Hungarians seem to have drunk
deeply of the musical inspiration that is
inbred in the race. Hungarians stand above
other nationalities in orchestra and band
work, as high as their native mountains.”

Tomorrow Afternoon with Strong Bill
With the
regular Sunday matinee tomorrow the Wigwam theater will
offer the local theater patrons one of the best all around
vaudeville bills of the season. In connection with the
regular run of high-class, exclusive films the management
will feature two acts that have more than made soon in the
California vaudeville circuit during the past two weeks.
The celebrated Four Gillams,
two men and two women. will present a clever singing, dancing and change act
that is a whole show in itself. Following on the same bill will be Prof. Niklas Schilzonyi, who will impersonate the greatest
composers true to life. This act requires an assistant and several trunks of
costumes and make-up material. The Wigwam next week has a show that will
have the public talking after the opening performance.
