r. - t -. 12 THE- MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1920 i SITE FOR NEW PARK IS DONATED TO CITY Old County Poor Farm Tract Is Acquired. GIFT HAS WO STRINGS Only Condition Ts That Certain Amount of Improvements Be Hade Each Tear. Through the donation of the old eounty poor farm Bite bjr the county board of commissioners, the city of Portland yesterday acquired a new I park. Although the actual . transfer ef the property from county to city has not yet been made, tne announce ment of the donation waa made public yesterday afternoon. Ko strings were attached to the donation other than an agreement t from the city that a portion of the park be Improved each year. This agreement was accepted by the mem bers of the city council. Parks Are Clone Together. The north end of the tract can be easily connected with Washington park, as only 600 feet separate the : Jiorth end of the newly acquired prop ! rty and the south end of Washing ' ton park. It has been decided by : City Commissioner Pier, however, that ' the new park will be operated as a separate unit, as is Macleay park situated directly north of Washington park. About one-half of the new park is partially cleared, with a growth of beautiful young: fir. which can be utilized in beautifying the grounds. The other half is cleared and can be utilized as a golf course, which is the plan Commissioner Tier said yes trrday be believed would be followed ut. In addition to a golf course, the park is of sufficient size to permit ample room for park purposes as well as installation of athletic and play ground equipment. House Ready for Keeper. A house now located on the prop erty will probably be utilized as a keeper's home. Connections can be made with the main sewer and water, pas and electricity are available, so that no large expenditures are neces sary to bring about preliminary Im provements. The new park Is located on the Canyon road, just south of Washing ton park. The entire tract is more or less rolling, and without any deep Bulleys. According to Park Superin tendent Kcyser, it Is an ideal park uite. County Commissioners Itoyt, Hol man and Muck, who authorized the donation of the property to the city, accompanied Mayor Baker, Commis sioners Pier and Bigelow and Fark Superintendent Keyser on a visit and Inspection of the tract yesterday. si , - st f ill -'U, " a I ill, . , j -i 'Si,- 'x--tr.

OMAVS wiles, a man's grouchy vable under- pathy of two old bachelors aro the sources of much of the fun In "Two Weeks," the Constance Talmadge picture show ing at the Columbia, theater. Much of the sheer joy of the production comes from the beauty and loveliness of Miss Talmadge herself. There is nothing serious about "Two Weeks." Manager Raleigh and Vin cent Knowles, director of the Colum bia string orchestra, have arranged a musical background of light, fan tastic selections that aid materially In tho showing of the film. "Linger Longer. Ietty," by Goodman; "Mo ment Musical," by Schubert and the "Valse Lente," from the ballet, "Syl via," are among the melodies woven into the attractive musical setting. In "Two Weeks" Miss Talmadge takes the role of a pretty chorus girl, thoroughly wholesome in her atti tude towards life and a career which has given ber true friends, scanty pay and hungry moments. Her pretly face and saucy smile Anally interest a young society chap who, on a basis of friendship, loans her money with which to titart a stage career that will eliminate the haphazard chorus life. She accepts, but is not yet ac customed to the joy of her new con tract when ehe finds that even alleged friendships havo obligations which she is not willing to pay. She runs from a party of merry-makers more or less under the influence of liquor and finds refuge In a huge country nome. The country home materializes In the house of the three bears reach bear in this case being a csotchy old bachelor. Circumstances compel these three old bears to come to the rescue of the pretty chorus girl and she In turn is compelled to accept their re luctantly offered hospitality. From there on the play is a series of ridicu loua situations in which the joy of life hangs In the balance between the old bears and their unconventional guest, whom they describe as "pretty as hell and hard, as the devil." Screen Gossip. Prlscilla Dean Is planning a speedy trip to New lork to buy a trunkful or pretty Irocks and things to wear in her next Universal production, "False Colors," In which she is to ap pear as a French actress of the Gaby Deslys type.
