HEN the name of the actor or actress precedes the name of the play, he or she, as the case may be. is a star. When the name of the actor or actress follows the play's title, he or she is featured with the production. When no names are mentioned and the title of the play gets all the big type then, to quote the original playwright, W. Shake speare, the play's the thing. For instance,' we read David War field in big type and then look to see what play he's bringing, or we read Mrs. Fiske in huge ten-inch letters and the name of her play as an afterthought. Some folk do not even get as far as the name of the play. They read Billie Burke, . or Maude Adams or Otis Skinner, search their memories for some play they've seen the particular star in, give it up and let it go at that. On the opening evening the name of the play on the programme is their first inkling of what the star is starring in. Man agers know this and bank on it. The world and his wife will go to see, say Maude Adams, if she had only her name on the billboards and the name of the play were kept a secret. When an actor is featured he is a baby star. It's up to him to stand still or go back or go on. Harold Ji'ermllye "Featured." All of this to tell you that Wednes day, when he reached Portland Harold Vermilye was put in possession' of a contract forwarded from the famous author-actor-song writer - manager - producer. George M. Cohan, which from now on makes Mr. Vermilye 'featured" In "The Acquittal." From this engagement on through the rest of the tour the big sheets and all the advertisements will be changed to read "The Acquittal, With Harold Vermilye." This necessitates the re calling of all the advance press sheets and new bills and new pic tures and press dope and even a new line to be added- from now on in the theater programmes. The promotion came about wholly as a surprise to Mr. Vermilye. George M. Cohan played the role of the reporter in the New York pro duction and another clever actor played it in the Chicago run. When it was to be sent out on the road and Harold Vermilye was put in the part he had no idea he would be featured in the piece. All along the line of march, however, the notices have ac- 'X r: -t $ Harold Vermilye, Lad claimed the excellency of the Ver milye portrayal and back in the .ew York offices they read and read of the young actor's good work. That their reading and Mr. Vermilye's honest efforts had not been in vain bore fruit in the . promotion. Actor Ardent Horseman. Mr. Vermilye. who is an ardent horseman, says he'd "give a darned lot to see the Pendleton Round-Up. All along the way I've been figur ing how I could make it over there for a day's sightseeing, but the route is so arranged I can't do it, he sighed. Mr. Vermilye's favorite indoor sport is reading. He begins his day with the newspapers and closes it with some good fiction around about mid night. He used to edit a column of what he calls "alleged humor," on a paper called "The Radiator," pub lished in France during tlv war. He was convalescent after bei gassed and had a lot of fun dinging up jokes. "I called my column 'The Long Range Oun' at first and then changed it to 'The Salvage Pile' and must confess that I got most of my jokes out of the home papers sent to us." Driver Absolved of Blam Said to Have Been "Hangin On" to Rear of Machine. William Poindextcr, 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Poindexter. 652 Northrup street, was run over and fatally injured by an ice truck driven by H. J. Joy, 615 Marshall street, at noon yesterday. The injured boy was taken to the Good Samaritan hos pital, where he died at 5:35 o'clock. The accident happened directly, in front of S. T. Brown's resid-ence, 526 Northrup street. According to joy's report to the police, he drove up in front of the house and as he backed up to the curb he saw the boy body on the pavement just as his left front wheel had passed over the lad's body. Traffic Investigator Yost held Joy at the police station while the acci dent was being investigated. It de veloped that the lad had been accom panied by his brother Christie, aged 7. at the time of the accident. Ac cording to the story told the patrol man, both lads were "hanging on" to the rear of the truck before it started to back, and the younger boy. Will iam,. lost his hold and fell. The rear wheels missed the prostrate lad, but the front wheel, which was cramped at an angle, passed over his body. Christie said that he saw his brother fall, but was so frightened that he did not cry out. Joy was exonerated from all blame following the investigation. Ordinance Declared Unconstitu tional. Portland's for-hlre car ordi nance received a jolt yesterday from Circuit Judge Morrow, when he de clared it unconstitutional and dis missed the charge against George K. Kaae, appealed from the municipal court. The measure, which was passed May 1, 1918, and amended May 21, 1919, requires $1000 indemnity bond for renting cars. Kaae rented a car to Gatini Buzellt without his having made the deposit. The ordi nance lis "unreasonable, unwarrant able and unjustifiable interference with business," according to the judge.
