If Mn-lners Object to Comedy on Bootleggers, Film Will Not Be Vscd In Shrine Week. 4 . 1 14 FUSSOVER KIBOSH r . i 4 :.- .1 'Quick. Watson, the needle." But" it did not need even a Sherlock Holmes to find out that the hub and fus over the production of the "fa mous" Portland film, "All Baba and the Bootleggers " was a tempest in a teacup, and was simply a trfbute to the publicity-grabbing proclivities of Frank Coffinberry, some time press agent and once manager for the Port land Orpheum. but at present general manager for the recently organized Continental Film company. And Frank believes in keeping his trusty press agent abilities in good hape for you never know what emergency may befall. Herman Kline Conceive Idea 'Twas the brilliant brain of Her man Kline, secretary-treasurer of the film company, who conceived the idea of a film in which the artists should be the great and near great of Port land, coupled with city notables, a handful of leading Shrlners and so forth. At the very suggestion of boot legging in connection with the Shrine even though that connection was a farce comedy presentation the gen eral committee of the Shrine was ap palled. And, of course, the original publicity did give the suggestion that mayhap and maybe the Shrine might possibly, somehow, somewhere be tied up in the production. So the Shrine committee issued a .ukase that the film must not be. Orriclals Appear in film. At tho very moment that the gen eral committee was considering the matter, 40 or more Shriners, with at least four of the concessions commit tee of the Shrine, George I.. Baker, chairman and active participant, were brinsr filmed in the burlesque. The plot gets thicker. And Frank Coffinberry, the film magnate but don't forget the one time press agent was chuckling and a-chuckling was he. .in between round, jovial chuckles, Mr. Coffinberry as interviewed yes terday. "The picture was taken for the Knights of Kibosh, a 'josh' organiza tion, composed of Shriners," said he. l iquor I .Not Heal Liquor. "They thought that a burlesque on bootlegging with Portland leading .souls participating in the film that is, not in the liquor, for, unfortu nately, we had no liquor that is, real liquor, in the film would be a real lark. "The Knights thought the Continen tal company was the fit one to film the burlesque because we had been appointed official motion picture ar tist for convention week. "And we and the Knights thought It woud be good fun to show the pic ture at a downtown house during Shrine week. Now, the film does not burlesque Shriners. Those participat ing might be members of the Royal Ksteemed Order of Nothing, or any thing, for there Is no lodge or order in.signia shown. "So. when the Shrine objected, I assured tieorge Bakr that if a ma jority of the concessions committee . of the Shrine objected or demurred the film would not be shown during Shrine week. And for the matter of that the participants are nearly all l'vlks and the Klks would be only too glad to sponsor the comedy." flauncr Command! Knlarhta. Kenneth Hauser Is venerable com mander of the knights. Hauser though it a good Joke. too. He is young enough not to take his vener able position very seriously. "What deal did you make with the film company," he was asked. "Uh, 1 really don't know. Ask Her ruHii Kline. He is a Knight." Ande Kline, as has been said, is sec retary of the continental company. And the Judges of the fitness of thing. the Shrine concessions com mittee! The members of that com mittee are: Mr. Baker. Chief of Police .lenkins. Fire Marshal Urenfell, Kenneth Hauser, Harvey Wells. Joe l.utchin son and Mark Woodruff. I.radins Holes Are I'lnyrd. And all but Woodruff and Hutchin lon have leading roles in the production. "I don't think there'll be any objec tion to the picture." said Mayor Baker. "And while the concessions committee is the judge if the Shrine committee realy seriously objects to what is just a big joke, why, we'll call tne whole thing off. "And we won't have to postpone. very long the idea of being film stars because the Klks are anxious to run tho picture later. Among the stars are Charles King ler. C'us Motser, "Kap" K. Kubli, Phil Meischan, Harry Allen. Barge Leon nrl. Kay Spaulding, Virgil Cooper, Patrolmen Goldstone and McCutcheon I .re Holden and a bunch of others not to forget the concessions com mittee of the Shrine." by a majority vote. But everyone is laughing now. The picture may or may not go on Shrine week. That is a mere detail. But when it does go on everyone in Port land will pile in to see It. That means money for the theater showing it, means good shekels for the Conti nental company, a "cut" for the treas ury of the Knights of Kibosh. As for Frank Coffinberry, why, he Bmiles. Some press agent! for Men and Young Men HOSPITAL FUND SOUGHT DRIVE OX FOR $200,000 TO TO COMPLETE STRUCTURE. $45,750 Pledged for Hahnemann Building on East Side Started Ten Years Ago. Nearly one-fourth of the sum of 1200,000 which . it is hoped to raise for the purpose of completing the Hahnemann hospital, has been raised as the result of the drive recently started, according to tht campaign committee. The sum of J 15,750 had been reported in subscriptions up to last night. The hospital is to be located on the block bounded by Kast Second, Fast Third, Multnomah and Hassalo streets, .and the framework of the first unit of the ultimate structure was built about ten years ago at a cost of J100.000. From that time to the present the buUding has remained uncompleted, and the drive at the present time is for funds to complete this wing, furnish it and get the hos pital under way. As soon as $100,000 has been pledged, work upon the building will be started and the struc ture will be rushed to completion. The unit to be completed at this, time is of brick and concrete con struction, with four stories and a double basement. It will contain ad ministration offices and the surgery, and will provide room for more than 100 beds. Plans for an ultimate hos pital of which the structure to be completed now will be one wing have been prepared, but work on this larger structure will not be begun at this time. Plans for the erection of a chil dren's section of the hospital are taking shape, through the announce ment by a public-spirited citizen. whose name has not been announced. of an endowment of J12S.000 for the maintenance of such a hospital after t has been built. This gift and plans for the children's hospital are not embraced in the present drive, how ever. Another donation of $5000. for furnishings for the hospital, was an nounced yesterday, although the name of the donor was not given. The block which the hospital will occupy and upon the western portion of which the first wilig now stands, J was formerly the A. H. Breyman resi dence property. The dwelling still stands upon tho property and prob ably will be used for a nurses' dwell ing upon - the completion and occu pancy of the present wing.
