BOOST FOR SHRIIRS' JAEGER'S PROBLEM 3d NOW PLAYING Finding Quarters for Throng No Easy Task. 75,000 VISITORS EXPECTED Hotel Reservations Already Made tor Large J umber; Thousands IS'ot Yet Provided for. 6 i ' ljlJ , , J yN -w - t y--v ...- if. Portland will have the general ap pearance of a Christmas tree next June, when the Shriners come and take possession of the city for a week. Bay reports from committee head quarters. There will be Shriners sus pended from lampposts, clustering on the limbs of trees bordering the streets and hanging from hooks in every closet. They will have to sleep somewhere, and to put away 75.000 of them, in addition to the ordinary flow of tour ist travel, is the task that J. P. Jaeger nas tackled. Mr. Jaeger has already reserved room for several thousand Shriners in the downtown hotels, and when he ets through with those hostleries he expects to have provided for about 12.000. . J. A. Cranston of the transportation committee will have facilitiesr fo parking Pullman cars to accommodate 10,000 more of the red fez boys. Private Homes Come Next. After that the private homes of Portland will be asked to take in the visitors. Immediately following the visit here by Imperial Potentate Kendrick there came representatives of numerous Shrine temples to contract for hotel accommodations. They knew what they wanted and were willing to pay for it. "I have placed 21 temples already, and in each case their representatives have paid in advance for the cost of one full day for their entire party," aaid Chairman Jaeger. "I never saw anything like it. These men don't care what it costs; they want the best and they are ready to put up all the money required to guarantee the appearance here of their parties, whether they are signing for 150 or 700 people. "One thing we are up against that no other city ever facer1 is the large number of women coming next year. Heretofore the boys generally have left their wives at home. This time they will bring their wives. As a consequence many rooms are being assigned to couples where we could have bunked five or six men. "I may have to adopt the doubling rap plan for women also, end separate them from their husbands." Many Temples .Sinned ITp. Tht temples which have signed up for rooms are as follows: Rochester, Calgary, Regina, Dallas, Tulsa, Muskogee, Spokane, St. Joseph, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Shreveport, Kansas City, Springfield, St. Louis, Detroit, Pittsburg, Seattle, Tacoma, Honolulu, St. Paul and Fort "Worth. Lu Lu temple of Philadelphia and die California temples have announced tiat txey will occupy their Pullman Wltr. two exceptions each of the foregoing temples w '1 bring a band, and eKCh will have a patrol of uni formed men in line. The Multnomah hotel has been en gaged as headquarters for the entire 600 members of the imperial council. Eric V. Hauser has contracted with the hotel committee for 3S7 rooms and is spending an enormous sum of money to rearrange several floors of the hotel so that baths can be given each room. Mr. Hauser has agreed to change a portion of the handsome mezzanine floor of the Multnomah so that more privacy can be given Im pel ial lotentate Kendrick's head Quarters. But this morning Mr. Jaeger is wrestling with the problem of "what shall I do with them?" Portland Has Real Task. Chairman Jaeger says that all of the temples which have engaged rooms have deposited with him sums to equal their hotel charges for one day. These deposits are guarantees that their people will be here and will occupy the rooms. 'Just to show you how those fel lows are ready to spend money, the representative of Tulsa, Okla., came here with ?7000 in drafts to pay the hotel bill for his crowd for the entire Jour days," said Mr. Jaeger. "This convention is going to mean millions of money to Portland, and more millions in future business, if we measure up to the expectations of our visitors. To do U we must have co-operation all down the line." CONVICT GIVES DOLLAR Centralis Legion Post Fund Is Con tinning to Grow. CENTRALIA. Wash., Nov. 30. (Spe cial.)

Circle Theda Bara, "When Men Desire." Globe Dorothy Gish, "Battling Jane." T'S a Zane Grey story that is pack ing the Majestic theater this week. "Desert Gold" is its title and Elmo K. Lincoln . is its star. But the fact that it is a Zane Grey production tells the complete story. An outdoor- atmosphere breathing strength, danger and sane happiness pervades the entire production. The plot of the picture is a trifle compli cated, but under careful direction the photoplay is but strengthened by the many Issues of interest. The strong- st thread in the plot is the love or Dick Gale for the beautiful Nell War ren and that thread is kept conspic uously-in the foreground througn- out. Desert Gold" contains some unus ually artistic scenes. It is screened in a rugged district of the southern part of this country and the perspec tives shown in some of the pictures are marvelously beautiful. In a num ber of instances the skyline is most effectively used. A desert is filmed o successfully that the atmosphere of death and futileness predominate n a weird and almost depressing manner. E. K. Lincoln is said to have been a reader "fan" of Zane Grey for years. ard although the star and the author bad never met, Mr. Grey so greatly admired Mr. Lincoln's work that he wanted him for "Dick Gale." W. Lawson Butt, the famous English ac or, was chosen by Mr. Grey nearly a year ago to create tne ro:e oi uie Yaqui. For the nart of the dashing ooraer captain, George Thorne, Edward Cox- en was chosen as ideal ana to tne man who has won fame by such virile roles as he played in "Carmen of the Klondike," the part of Captain Thorne opened wonderful new opportunities. The extremely important "heavy" Ro- as, the bandit chief, is taken by tne 'worst-hated man in pictures." Wal ter Long, whose work as "Gus in Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" will be recalled everywhere. Screen Gossip. There is an interesting little story told as to the origin of "The Six Best Cellars." They say at the McClure offices that Charles Hanson Towne, editor of McClure's, contemplating the rrmendine drouth, conceived the ad vertising possibilities of "The Six Best Cellars." as a title for a short novel. Holworthy Hall seemed to him to be ust the right person to nanaie sucn l theme, so a night letter was dis- natched to Hall who was then down at Pinehurst playing golf. The idea mpressed Hall favorably and he uromDtlv accepted the commission. The title was immediately copyrighted and Hall and his collaborator, Hugh M. Kahler, went to work at once. The story was given to the public serially in the August and September issues of McClure s magazine. How ever, It was pubiisnea in its entirety in the August number of the Mc Clure house organ. A copy of this little booklet fell into the hands oi Famous Players-Lasky executive and negotiations for the screen rights were immediately opened. Scene from Zane Grey's latest novel, "Desert Gold, which, has been recently screened and which is showins; for the first time la Portland this week at the Majestic theater. panied by the subtitles "Fearing that his love might not remain a pure and holy thing." Your pictures have never ended with 'And so the miracle of a new life brought happiness to Bessie and Willard,' and flash of you and some other unfortunate, fondling an ex-Barnum Lilliputian." Hornets are no respector of per sons when their homes are Invaded, as Blanche Sweet will testify. While filming scenes in the Beverly hills canyon, when all was ready for Di rector Thornby to call "Camera!" and the assistant cameraman seated him self on a mound - Something happened. The young man jumped in the air, waving his arms franticlly, and dashed on the set. Behind him came a swarm of hornets. All was immediate confusion. Miss Sweet went in one direction, Russell Simpson in another, while the director and cameraman dashed in still an other. It was a general exit from the ' location and it was at least an hour before the badly frightened play ers dared return. A danger signal was put up in the vicinity of the hor nets' nest. To little Miss Shirley Norman of Roanoke, Va. goes the prize for nam ing the beautiful new home of Ruth Roland, the Pathe serial star, in the Wildshire district of Los Angeles. The name suggested by Miss Norman and accepted by Miss Roland is "Roland Gables." When Miss Roland purchased the estate r. year ago, she spent much time thinking up a. suitable name for it. She finally issued a call for her boy and girl friends all over the coun try to help her and she offered as a prize for the winning name an oil painting of herself. Thousands and thousands of letters resulted. Charles Maigne, who directed the feature, "The Copperhead," in which Lionel Barrymore is said to duplicate the tremendous success he made in the stage version of the piece, has finished the filming of the play and is now at work cutting it for public showing. There are at present 400 scenes in the picture and when it is released it will probably run eight reels. Harold Lloyd is said to be a total abstainer. Some friends sent Harry Pollard a bottle of what was techni cally termed "rare old apricot bran dy." As a matter of course "Snub" asked Mr. Lloyd to try a wee taste. "Wow! howled the comedian. That's strong enough to blow a man's watch right out of his pocket." How you do talk," said Pouard; "the man that gave me that said it was so mild 'he fed it to his baby." "All right," replied Mr. Lloyd, "but all I gotta say is that he's got S-O-M-E BABY." "The Great Day," the successful melodrama by Louis N. Parker and George R. Sims, now current at the Drury Lane theater, London, has been obtained for screen production by the Famous Players-Lasky British Pro ducers, Ltd., and will be filmed at their London studio at the end of its metropolitan run. An unusual feature of the contract between the film com pany and Arthur Collins, producer of the stage version, Is the arrangement whereby the motion picture version will be made with the same scenery and costumes used in the theater. When Frank Keenan thought out "The World Aflame" he did a splendid job of prophesying. Months and months ago he went to work on his picture portraying labor conditions of the United States until almost at the period of its release there was not a city where conditions did not dupli cate the events set forth in the Kee nan photodrama. Now Mr. Keenan comes forward with another prophecy. He prognosti cates a return to the films of the cos tume play. "The idea that the costume play will not go on the screen is absurd," he said the other day in discussing the cinema outlook. "Nobody knows exactly how the notion took root; but it did, until now you can't find a pro ducer who will touch a costume scena rio. But I believe it is all wrong. There is no valid reson why the cos tume play cannot be a success on the screen. The success of any picture is a question of a good story plus ade quate production. Wallace Reid has received so many "fan" letters that he had begun to think he knew all his virtues. He changed his mind recently when he found the following letter Irom a &c Louis girl in his morning mail: You have refrained so nobiy,' sne wrote the Paramount-Artcratt star, from so many of the besetting movie sins. You have never worn a riding habit, patent leather puttees and derby.
