chain of picture houses.
The Star theatre of this city has
been added . to a circle of moving
picture houses that fcomp rises ail
of the leading houses of their kind
In the Pacific Northwest, and the
company which controls this theatre
and the, others with, It, Is now In
corporated at $400,000. The Orego-
nian says of the corporation; .
"Planning : the Installation of a
first-class moving picture show in
every city of the Northwest . 8. Mor
ton Cohn and his associates, of this
city, have organized the People's Am
usement Company, with a capital
stock of 1400.000.
"The company will operate In the
states of Oregon, Idaho and Wash
ington. Already 13 of these 5 and
10-cent entertainment houses, seven
of them being In Portland have been
absorbed by this merger.'
" The company has acquired the fol
lowing moving picture shows: Star
Arcade, Oh Joy, Hippodrome, Orphe-
um (Sixth St) Palace and Bijou, of
this city; Lyceum, Alaska and Olym
ulc of Seattle: Star Theatre, of La
Grande; Grand Theatre of The Dalles
and Star theatre of Caldwell, Idaho
"It Is the purpose of tht company
to operate the theatres It has acquir
ed' and to build up and equip such
new enterprises of this kind as may
be brought under its direction ana
control..'.. .( v . ' -
; "It Is announced that one of the
main objects of the company will be
to guard and scrutinize programs, not
only in the theatres located in the
large cities, but In the small towns
as" well, so that, the entertainment at
all times will be' entirely free from
objectionable features. . .,
" "Mr. Cohn denies that' the conso
lidation which has been effected will
enroach upon any of the smaller
theatres in the various localities In
which It ' will "compete for business.
The company has secured rooms in
the Rothschild building."
A ONE-PAET PLAY.
Old Elp Is the chief and prlncap'al
part In last night's show.
With the lines of Rip Van Winkle
well carried out In action and talk,
the show at the Steward last tight
passed off with fairly good satisfac
tion to all. Rip's wife was not par
ticularly weak, but was below that
of the star. ' The rest of the adult
company was weak,
Another feature that made added
interest was the fact that Vivian Ba
ker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
Baker of this city, carried "The Lit
tle Girl" part to the complete satis
faction of all. '
PENDLETON HAS TRACTION

It was a Jubilant committee that
assembled In the council chamber
at the city hall at 5 o'clock last
evening. The meeting was held at
the conclusion of several hours of
hard soliciting, during which nearly
$50,0000 j were - raised. , The meelng
had been called for the purpose of
taking, up the work of getting the re
mainder of the funds.; However, the
subscription had been run up to a
figure slightly above the $25,000 mark
when the committee assembled.
But though the committee had se
cured the needed $25,000 ' It was
decided, to continue the work of no.
llcltlng so as to , permit others der
siring to sign to do so. However,
from this time , on the burden of
raising the remainder of the $50,000
fund devolves upon the traction com
pany Itself. According to D; Tits
Gerald, the alignment of the road
will be used to Induce subscriptions.
