TITE 3rOHNIXG OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, SEPTE3IBER 23, 1930 A S. Benson, However, to Favor Plan Today. COMMISSION WILL PEiLETOPJ mm .f ' V , - 'j, is t it MEET II tT -IFJ Advocates of Shorter Route Are Suspected of Trying to Divert . Trade From Umatilla City. Telegrams have been sent by the Pendleton commercial club objecting to the proposed Wallula cut-sf, which, its advocates say, would be a big saving: in mileage for traffic be tween Portland and Walla Walla, Spokane and other inland empire points. Notwithstanding this pro test, S. Benson, chairman of the state highway commission, intends favor ins the cut-off at today's meeting: of the commission. It is the plan of Mr. Benson to move that a survey be made of the 20 miles 1 on the Oregon side of the proposed route, and to have a project estimate made and put up to the government. Ed K. Kiddle, member of the com mission. Is not enthusiastic for the proposed cut-off. tut-off Route Held Desolate. The Pendleton people contend that the road from Pendleton to Walla Walla now affords a good connection with the Washington highway eys tem and that the proposed cut-off runs through a sand-swept, desolate country, whereas the present paved road runs through a populous and developed country. Representatives of the government will probably be at the meeting today to urge the cut off and possibly one or two residents of Umatilla county may also lend their eupport. There is a suspicion In the minds of Pendleton people that the Wallula cut-off is a scheme of AValla Walla to divert trade from Pendleton, for with the cut-off traffic could go direct from Portland to Walla Walla without going through Pendleton.

Stai- Edward Laemmle's Ship wrecked Among Cannibals." Circle May Allison, "Fair and Warmer." Globe Constance Talmadge, "The Virtuous Vamp." TTTESTEKS in spirit and eastern w in many scenes is '"The Inner Voice," a picture starring E. K. Lincoln and showing this week at the Rivoll theater. In plot "The Inner Voice" resem bles a mixture of "The Shepherd of the Hills," "The Miracle Man" and Wolves of the Night." It centers n the mental and spiritual powers which can at times defeat the best aid plans of men, showing a man, deprived of what he rightfully be lieves is his and who determines upon a career of power, wealth and revenge, only to again fail in his endeavors. The inner voice of his onscience, aided by a pretty girl and her elderly foster father, is respon- ibie for the last change which comes nto his life and wipes out the re- enge. The musical background which the Rivoll orchestra, under its new con ductor, Salvatore Santaella, has sup plied "The Inner Voice" is note worthy. One of the pleasing selec- ions is Massenet s "Meditation, from 'Thais?' played as a solo by Albert Creitz, concerto meister. The con cert number is the Zampa overture, which is this week each afternoon and' evening being played with bet ter contrast and stronger understand- ng than at the previous rendition at the Rivoli. Mutt and Jeff are appearing on the Rivoli screen, as are also "Topics of the Day" from the Literary Digest, and the International News. Screen Gossip. A. E.

Mr. Doty before join ing the Universal forces was editor of the Cosmopolitan and had the repu tation of taking more unknown writ ers and making them famous than any other publisher. Miss Walton s recently finished pic ture, "Pink Tights," will be released this fall. It is a story of the circus, which gives the little star plenty of chance to show her skill and daring. An entire circus was built and kept in operation for weeks at Universal City for the scenes in "Pink Tights." Everything is realistic down to the side shows and the freaks, while the balloon ascension and the parachute jump are truly thrilling. Frank Mayo has just finished "The Marriage Pit," a story of New York's smart set based on Frederick Isham's novel, "Black Friday." The scenario is by Wallace Clifton, directed by Frederick Thomson. The character of Richard Strong is particularly suited to Mayo. He impersonates a virile, self-made man who rises from driving cattle to being a power on Wall street. After marry ing- the daughter of one of the old Knickerbocker families, he finds she does not understand him, and dancer from the "Follies" comes into his sjfe with her unprincipled hus band to make further trouble.
