"oonan May . Be Cause of Change on Broadway and Stark Bnilding Empress Also in Limelight. There are knots in the theatrical sit nation in Portland which no one seems able to untangle at present. Announce ment made from Kansas City, Mo, that Marcus Loew, of New York City, and others had purchased the properties Rnd vaudeville circuit of the Sullivan Considine combine, and the death of Thomas J. Noonan, of Chicago, lessee of the Broadway Theater, under construc tion on the southwest corner of Broad way and Stark streets by the J. W. Blodsrett Co.. Limited, have been in strumental In Creating the puzzle. Until John W. Considine returns from Kansas City it will probably not be known here what affect the sale of the Sullivan-Considine interests will have upon the future management and loca tion of the Orpheum and Empress the aters In this city. The Empress is owned by the Sulll-van-Considlno circuit, but it also con trols 60 per cent of the ownership of the local Orpheum Theater and the Orpheum theaters at Seattle and Van couver, B. C. These are the only three Orpheum houses in the United States, it is said, in which Sullivan-Considine hold any interest. The regular Orpheum interests, headed by Martin Beck. hav retained a 40 per cent interest in the three Northwest houses. Portland Orpheum l'nrrle. Now comes the question, did the sale at Kansas City include with it the 60 per cent interest in the Orpheum at Portland? Expressions of opinion on this point are divided and the cor rect answer will probably not be known until Mr. Considine himself makes a definite announcement. One thinsr. however, seems certain, that all of. the nterest in the Northwest houses will not pass into the hands of the tyndicate led by Marcus Loew, which has m ide a specialty of lower-priced vaudeville. Tho regular Orpheum cir cuit pays $3000 a month rent for the former home of the Heilifr Theater at Seventh and Taylor streets. Calvin S. Heilig. owner of the Heillg Theater, now located in the old Baker Theater building at Eleventh and Morrison streets, is anxious to acquire a new location. The leases on the present Heilig and the present Baker Theater are controlled Jointly by George L. Baker and Calvin S. Heillgr. When the lleilig does move to a new location the Baker Stock Company will, in all probability, move back to the present home of the Hellig and moving picture house will bo operated in .the old Marquam, now occupied by the Baker. The present Baker Thea ter affords entrance from both Sixth street and Broadway, a circumstance unusually favorable to moving picture attractions. Ileitis Bid for Lease. It is no longer a secret that Mr. Hcilig has bid for a lease on the' the ater now being built on Broadway and Stark streets. This building was originally leased to the late Thomas J. Noonan, an experienced theatrical man, of Chicago, who died In Portland about month ago. This lease was transferred to the younger brother of Thomas J. Noonan, Robert F. Noonan, a member of the Condon-Noonan Com pany, but it is said that the Bodgett Company is not satisfied to go ahead with the Noonan lease and that it is receptive to bids from other theatri cal firms. The plan of Mr. He'lig is to have the present improvements on the Blodgett site, which cost about J2b, 000, torn down and a new plan car ried out. He wants a. theater under neath a. 12-story hotel building and Is willing to lease such a theater. The entire building proposed by Mr. Heilig will cost about 1600,000. J. "W. Weaver, who wanted to lease tho Failing building, located on the southeast corner of Fifth and Morrison streets and leased recently by the Meier & Frank Company for a temporary an nex, is working in conjunction with Mr. Heilig on the bid for the Blodgett ttuilding. He is bidding with Mr. Heilig for the theater-hotel building. Proposition Logical Heilig. "I honestly believe my proposition is the only one that is logical considering the situation." said Mr. Heilig last night. "The value of the property is ao high that a theater by itself, par ticularly a, moving picture house, would hardly be expected to make good. In Chicago theaters located within the, Great Northern and the Auditorium hotels have been successful, and the same Is true of other cities. The thea ter and hotel combination should also work out well In Portland." It is said upon good authority that five different concerns have been con tending for the ownership of the lease on the Blodgett building. This includes the Condon-Noonan Company, which nominally has the lease and w hich has employed an attorney to protect its in terests in the lease. It is not known definitely whether they would enter tain a proffered purchase of the lease. DOG IS SEIZED FOR DEBT Boy Then Kcturns Animal on Ad vice. From Policeman. Explaining tho theft of a dog from the basement of a house tenanted by Irs. W. Davis, at Delaware ave nue! Fred Ferro.s, a delivery boy em ployed by a meat market, told Patrol man Aspen Saturday night that he had taken the animal to protect himself against a bill of $11 he said Mrs. Da vis owed and for which he was held responsible. Fcrros returned tho dog when or dered to do so by the policeman, but h insisted that if'Mrs. Davis had not paid her bill he was within his rights in seizing her dog as a hostage. Fer ros was not arrested. BRIDGE SITE FIGHT DUE V 11 ion Avenue or Derby Street Is Task for Commissioners. Although Waddell &. Harrington, en gineers for the interstate bridge, have recommended Union avenue for the south approach, it is certain that many Portland citizens who favor Derby street will make a determined effort at the Commissioners" "meeting today to have that route selected. It is understood that Rufus C. Hoi- man and W. L. Lightner, a majority of the Board of County Commissioners, will vote in favor of the Union-avenue route. . Property owners along Union avenue will support them in their stand. On the other hand, those who are eager to have the Derby-street route recommended will present facts and arguments in opposition to Union ave nue. Their principal contention will be made on the point that the Union avenue route provides for an approach and trestle work to the south end of the bridge more than 3000 feet longer than that required for the Derby street route. The cost of the right of way, too, will be greater. The Peninsula Inaustrial Company has agreed to donate the right of way for the Derby-street route, as it is in line with the development that tney have planned in that section. Derby-street residents and persons interested in the industrial develop ment of the lower peninsula district point to the fact that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company will be in position to enjoy exclusive use of the interstate bridge in the event the Union-avenue route is selected. Fran chises recently granted to George Heus ner and associates for an lnterurban electric line from Vancouver, Wash., to Portland would be rendered almost use less if the south shore connection is made at Union avenue, they say. But the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company will be served to equal ad vantage over the Derby-street line. Another element that is clamoring for the Derby-street route is that of the stockmen and shippers who liave busi ness with the stockyards. It Ja understood that County Com missioner D. V. Hart will present a mi nority report recommending the Derby street ruote. MAYOR GILL IS COMING SEATTLE EXECUTIVE TO SPEAK I" PORTLAND THIS WEEK.

The latter is the Bar Association gathering, which, it is intimated, is to be sort of a "gridiron" affair, in which the Mayor delights. He advised the Portland attorneys in hie acceptance, that he would not' prepare a set-speech, for that would be to es tablish a precedent, but that he would fall Into the spirit of the "gridiron" grilling that is before him.
