LOUISE LOWELL, 8"6, IES OF INJURIES. Woman, Struck Down, at First Refuses Medical Aid, Due to Religious Beliefs. Portland's automobile death toll for -Christmas week rose to three with the demise yesterday at the Multnomah county hospital of Mrs. Louise Lowell, 86, of 269 East Forty-fifth street. She was struck down at Hawthorne avenue and East Forty-flfth street by a car driven by George W. Hutchison, 407 East Sixtieth street, on the night of De cember S. Crossing the street in the dark ness, Mrs. Lowell stepped directly into tne patn or the automobile. She at first refused medical treatment because of religious belief. Later she was taken to the hospital. The body is at Finley's. Fatalities from automobile acci dents for December mounted to six with the death of Mrs. Lowell. On the same night she was hurt. R. B, waison, loo urana avenue, was struck down and suffered injuries from which he died. Little Sarah Rockwood was run over by a cow : ardly motorist who sped on and left her to die. Injuries received when he was run down by a street car on Thurs day caused the death of O. M. Cor neU, 54, station agent at St. Johns for the Spokane, Portland & Seattle . railroad, at St Vincent's hospital early yesterday. Screams from his wife, who heard a street car- ap proaching at a rapid rate, did not save him. In charge of the double car were O. P. Cross, motorman, and W. Olin and A. B. Clark, conductors. Funeral services will be held to morrow at the St. Johns undertak ing parlors. Mr. Cornell is survived by his widow, 914 Newark street and a daughter, Mrs. Guy Anderson. Inquests probably will be held in both cases. GIRL'S MEMORY LAPSES Kidnaping Events Not Recalled; Case Against Youth Dismissed. A lapse' of memory suffered by Miss Cecile Daniels, 349 Eugene street, whose affections were sought by two youths Thursday night, solved the triangle as far as the law was concerned. In municipal court she could not recall Just what occurred at Union avenue and Schuyler street, where Ralph Miller, 22, of Gresham, was charged with stealing her away . from Leslie Waring, 700 East Fifty eighth street, and a conniving friend, at the point of a gun. With tact she told her version of the story, forgetting just the. right parts here and there. . Municipal Judge Ekwall listened carefully, then heard the excited testimony of the two rivals. Miller and Waring, could make neither head nor tail of the affair and let the three go, dis missing the charges against Miller. Both youths glared at one anoth er, cast fond glances at the girl and left the courtroom. Plione your want ads to The Oregonian, Main 7070. m 1 i 1 1 p s 1 . . PATRONS of the Rivoli theater will receive enlightenment as well as capital entertainment in "The World's a Stage," which was written by the celebrated novelist, Elinor Glyn, and which opens there today. The author holds the mirror up to life the life of a screen actress in Hollywood, and paints a wonder fully vital and true canvas of the hopes and trials, illusions, dreams, sorrow and happiness of the aver age screen star. Mrs. Glyn knows Hollywood.. Therefore she writes with authority. It is not a mis-statement to de clare that the picture will create as much interest on. the screen as her other photoplays, "Her Great Moment" and "Beyond the Rocks," and as much as "Three Weeks" did with the fiction-reading public. She has written in a straightforward manner, telling her story with little flourish, but emphasizing the sa lient moments which compose the everyday life of a screen star. We not only get a closeup of the serio comic adventures of a cheap the atrical troupe, but we get a view of the inside of a picture studio. Then if this were not enough, we are taken into the home of the heroine and there is revealed before us the romance, the shattered illusions of a happy domestic life. It is a vivid picture of life as It is lived in Hollywood. Mrs. Glyn drawing. The picture, is directed by Colin Campbell, who has sev eral screen successes to his credit He has given the production sev eral . novel high lights and has guided the players in a manner that shows he has a firm grasp upon dramatic values. Dorothy Phillips, long considered one of our best emotional actresses, gives to the screen a further dem onstration of her gifted talent. As the heroine who is lifted from a cheap theatrical troupe and made a screen star over night, only to have her happiness shattered by a bigger drama in the home, Miss Phillips contributes a study that is marked for Us depth and under standing, poise and charm. Ken neth Harlan as the husband who shatters her fine illusions, offers able assistance. The oast is fur ther enhanced by the very human EX- SUIT FOR DIVORCE IS FILED Against policeman. Uazel Gladwyn Offers to Furnish Names of Erring Husband's Women. Friends. One more trouble- was added to those experienced recently by Cecil E. Gladwyn, ex-policeman, when his wife, Hazel B. Gladwyn, filed suit for divorce yesterday in circuit court. The wife's complaint cites that Gladwyn's conduct was such he was discharged from the police force and that he was arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and for receiving stolen prop erty. The wife alleges against the ex- patrolman that he devoted atten tion to other women, charging that he stayed out all night in drinking bouts. She offered to supply names of the women if the defendant so wishes. The Gladwyns were mar ried July 26, 1919, in Vancouver. They have a son now six months old. The wife seeks $30 a month as support money. The Yuletide season brought no unusual amount of peace and good will sentiment in the community, conclusions based on divorce filings of yesterday indicate. There were nine of them, the greatest number of any one day in several weeks. Other divorce filings were made under these titles: Pearl against John Collins, Florence Louise against Donald Wells, Del A. against Frank P. Farrington, Geneva against Lester E. Harnden, Elva Stringer against H. E. Stemler, Anna C. against R. B. Behymer, James C. against Mary Walsh and R, V, against Elizabeth G. Lewis.

YOUNG OUTLAWS NERVY Restaurant Man Held Up and Cash Register Looted. In perfect form and without the least trace of nervousness two youthful outlaws entered a cafe at 754 Sayier street, operated by A. A. Schultz, at 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing, and, holding the proprietor at bay with an automatic, rifled the cash register -of 9.25. The pair are, thought to be the same juvenile So Delicious, Yet Inexpensive TODAY'S FILM FEATURES. Liberty "iiie Hottentot." Columbia "The PrMe of Pal omar." Rivoli Elinor Glym's "The t World's a Stage." I Peoples Bebe Daniels in I "Singed Wings." Majestic Harold Lloyd in "Dr. Jack." Sixth week. Blue Mouse Mary Plckf ord in "Tess of the Storm Coun try."

Harold Lloyd in "Dr. Jack" be gins the sixth week of his run at the Majestic theater today. That is some record. Additionally, the merry feature will fit in admirably with Manager Lacey's plans for his midnight matinee. The manager plans a series of novel stunts. blended into one entertainment, a glimpse back at the movies of long ago when Mary Pickford and D. W. Griffith were both in their artistic swaddling clothes so far as the art of the screen was concerned. Lacey will not divulge any details re garding th entertainment. He ia keeping it as a surprise for his patrons. One of the quaintest and most singularly interesting photoplays produced this year is "Qulncy Ad ams Sawyer," which is' coming shortly to the Rivoli theater. As a novel it was a pronounced literary success. As a stage play it was a hit. And as a photoplay it is in finitely better than either book or stage production. Naturally the screen can offer scenes and Pther various angles utterly Impossible on the stage. This Is a production of rare charm and with a tremen dous appeal. It has everything romance, drama, pathos and comedy and a cast that is distinctly excep tional. robbers who raided the Chief Lunch last week. They entered the restaurant, Schultz said, as any other custom ers might enter, seated themselves at the counter and asked for cof fee. When Schultzturned his back the pair jumped into action. One held the muzzle of the revolver against the frightened victim's spine while the other quickly emptied the cash drawer. Search of theneigh borhood proved fruitless. TRADE OPPORTUNITY BIG America Has Chance in South America, Says Leo Friede. America, the greatest of financial nations, is not living up to her pos sibilities in gaining a hold in South America, in the opinion of Leo Friede, Oregon's envoy to the Inter national exposition in Rio de Ja neiro, who has returned to Portland after four months spent in touring South America. Mr. Friede said that in spite of the sufferings of the European coun tries during the recent war Euro pean capital is still the main factor in the development of South Amer ican countries. Only one banking establishment, the National City bank of New York, he said, is seeing the possibilities in South America and has established branches in the various important cities of those countries. Mr. Friede said the fair at Rio de Janeiro was only about half fin ished when he was there. The only countries .whiclf had completed ex hibits, he said, were France, Bel gium and Jugo-Slavia, three of the nations which had suffered the worst difring the war. The Ameri can exhibit was not completed, he said, until December. BLOOD GIVEN VETERAN Ex-Captain Milne to Undergo . Transfusion Today.
