The story of "Sporting Blood" is founded on fact. Bertram Bracken, William Fox director, who wrote the ' story, says that the incidents he gives in the film are largely taken from actual experiences he has had or heard of. "My father owned a stable in Tex as," Mr. Bracken said, "and he had some of the best racers of the state. Naturally 1 grew up with a great love of horses, and a knowledge of them that not many persons have. That in terest made the writing of a racing story especially fascinating." Director Bracken has made tho study of horses one of his pet avoca- j tions. lie knows the racing laws of Europe and the various United States backwards, and he can tell you just how much money was won and lost at the last English Derby. "There bas always been a great deal of superstition about 'race tracks," Director Bracken said. "I suppose itf a tho same with every gambling device, superstition is su preme. "I once knew a man who had the habit of betting always on the first horse he saw when he arrived at the raco course, or on tho horse ridden by the first jockey ho saw. Ho called it a "system," out it amounted to little more than a hobby. He lost just as consistently that way as ho could have in any other manner. "I knew nnother man who would al ways turn down the cuffs of his trou sers when he went to a race track, and would not turn them up ngaiv un til after tho event. Tho strange part of it was that he often won, though I don't know whether it was tho 'sys tem' or his own Judgment that helped him along." ARCADE fairies themselves.

MARGUERITE CLARK LASSIE AN "Little Lady Eileen" Do you believa in fairies? Maude Adams asked that question at ; provided she marry a certain very fine the end of her marvelous performance : chap. Of course the blessed fairie3 in "Peter Pan" every man, woman ar.d see to it that they meet without sus child in the theatre invariably joined , pecting that they are predestined to in the chorus of affirmatives. Now j wed and when the handsome young Marguerite Clark, herself the incar- j chap's rascally brother, having heard nation of the elf spirit, is being of the will, succeeds in wedding Eileen starred by the Famous Players Film, under the name of his brother, the company in its delightful fairy tale, "Little I,ady Eileen," which is the at traction at the Arcade theatre Friday and Saturday. And if, at the end of the performance, little Miss Clark were to step out of the screen upon the stage and ask the audiences of the Arcade theatre whether they too be lieve in fairies, there is little room for doubt that they would unanimous ly shout "Yes!" Of course, if one were prosaic and of the earth earthy, one could talk at great length of the miracles which di rector J. Scarle Dawley the real king of the fairies in this picturehas wrought in introducing his weird lit tle folk and in creating many il lusions, exquisite scenes and real thrills. But that would bring the pro duction into the realm of the common place for that is what thiB Famous Players director always docs. So let us talk rather of the little I.ady Eileen Kavanaugh who is the despair of her unimaginative school mistress because she will not forsake her fairy tales for the more substan tial studies like reading, 'riting and 'rithmetie. In fact, Eileen is' one of those adorable Irish girls with a facile imagination that is as creative as the fairies become so incensed at him for his duplicity that they roll a huge rock down upon him and crush the im postor. In support of Miss Clark there ap pear such well-known players as Mag gie Halloway Fisher, Vernon Steele, John L. Shine, Harry Lee, and Rus sell Bassett.

J The fate of such institutions as the University of Oregon and the Agri cultural College, should the provisions of the proposed Single Tax bill ever I become effective, is puzzling to thoss j who have closely analyzed the meas- I ure. It appears on the ballot under the title of "Full Rental Value Land Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund Amendment" to the state constitution. It was known as the "People's Land and Loan Hill" when the petitions through which it obtained a place on the ballot were circulated. It seems inevitable that within three years at tho most from the time of passage of this measure the state treasury will be practically empty. The bill is drawn to force nil land now privately owned to revert to the state, the owners preferring to relinquish it rather than pay the enormous "land rentals" that operation of the meas ure will entail. I Taxes are to, be levied upon land nlone. With the bulk of all land with in the state thrown back upon the state by the present owners, payments of taxes will practically cease. Under such conditions, where will the money come from for the support of the university and the 'state agri cultural college ns well as the other public institutions now maintained by appropriation? That is the question. It is conceded that were the Single Tax so named on the ballot there would bo little chance of its passage. inn., uming advantage or the cam paign for the state Rural Credits bill, its sponsors have succeeded in getting it on the ballot under a title which leads many persons to believe it is the Rural Credits measure. They are two distinct and utterly different measures. The Single Tax bill is the first initiative measure. Its voting numbers are riOfi ves, and 307 no.
