New Photo Plays Open Majestic. Jk N excellent bill is presented at JTTl the Majestic Theater, this week. It consists of two two-reel dramas, the Pathe Weekly and two musical acts. 'Trie Strength of Family Ties." an exquisite photoplay, which deals with the problem a woman faced when she attempted to avenge her mother's oeatn, is one of the most human pro ductions yet shown in a local theater. Throughout the play there is not a i law. "The Vanity Case" is a Dlav which deals with an accidental theft and the consequences which followed. A wealthy young society woman catches a vanity case on her muff in a jewelry etore. She is seen by a man who thinks the theft intentional. He flaunts the fact fn her face, and threat ens to expose her in spite of her af firmations that the theft is uninten tional. The plot of the play is exteremely clever and neatly worked out. The Pathe Weekly shows pictures of the great Florida fire, taken at 2 o'clock in the morning. Miss Esther Sundquist, the violinist, and Miss Betty Anderson, the pretty Peoples. ILLIAM FARNUM, a distinguished American actor. Is appearing at w the People's Theater this week In "The Redemption of David Corson." Farnum is probably better known to the theater-going public in the most notewor thy of his successes, "The Littlest Rebel" and "Ben Hur." Few stories so quickly and com pletely reach the heart as Charles Frederic Goss' noted tale of a man's temptation, transgression and regen eration. Few actors on the American stage could depict the character with such- faithfulness and realism as Will iam Farnum. And few there will be who will not recognize the impresslve ness and general beauty of this latest production of the Famous Players. Coming next Sunday for one week a prodigious photo-play production of the most facinatlng comedy drama, "Brew ster's Millions," a story that everyone knows, will b at the People's. Columbia. THOUSANDS crowded the Columbia Theater yesterday, when the at tractions were the pipe organ, played for the first time, and the mammoth production entitled "Cardinal Riche lieu's Ward," offered by the Than houser players. Five 30-minute organ recitalB were given,- three by Professor Lucien Becker, organist of Trinity Church, and two by Harker S. Perkins, theater organist. Six numbers were played by Professor Becker and five by Mr. Per kins at each recital. That the music was enjoyed was shown by the applause after each number. The numbers offered by Pro fessor Becker which pleased most were "The Pilgrims' Chorus" from "Tann hauser" and "American Fantasie,"com posed by himself. Mr. Perkins scored heavily with "Caprlccio" by Lemaigre and "Toccata" from the fifth organ symphony by Widor. "Cardinal Richelieu's Ward" is an elaborate production in four parts, re plete with many Intense dramatic fea tures. An enjoyable Keystone comedy, en titled "Mack at It Again," served as a real laugh provoker. This same bill will be continued until Wednesday. J Star. OPENING at the Star Theater yester day afternoon for a run of four days Charles Klein's powerful drama, "The Lion and the Mouse," now being shown In moving pictures, attracted crowds. The picture play is more In detail than the stage production. The story, with all its heart-satisfying bigness, is made impressive by the freedom given the producer In be ing able to portray actual scenes near the Capitol at Washington. The de tails of the love affair between the girl, Shirley, and Jefferson Ryder, the son of the money king, are acted. The work of the principals is said to make the voiceless drama a huge success. George Soule Spenser, in the part of the money king; Ethel Clayton as Shirley and Gaston Bell as Jeffer son Ryder carry out the most of the work. The others in the large cast are good and the production is said to be worthy of praise. Globe. WITHOUT doubt the greatest exam ple of quick moving picture news is the Hearst-Selig News Pictorial be ing shown today and tomorrow at the Globe Theater, Eleventh and Washing ton streets. It contains such events of last week as the Easter parade of styles on Fifth avenue. New York, and on the board walk at Atlantic City last Sunday, the children's egg-rolling on the White House lawn last Monday and the bat tleships getting ready to sail to Mex ico last Wednesday. In this set of naval pictures is shown the jackies boarding their ships, the signals being given, the practicing on deck to keep in trim the manipulations of the great guns and Admiral Badger taking command of the squadron. Other items of interest are the open ing games at Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. This bill at the Globe will last until tomorrow night. DINNER ATTRACTS MANY RESERVATIONS' BEING MADE FOR AUTO CLUB AFFAIR. Event to Take Place Friday at Portland Hotel Expected to Be Moat Suc cessful Organization Has Given. Judging by the numerous requests for reservations at the Portland Auto mobile Club's annual banquet which is to be held Friday at the Portland Hotel, it is safe to predict that It will be the most successful annual dinner that the club has ever given. One great improvement over the otner annual dinners is that there will be no long, tiresome speeches. The few that have been asked to talk were requested to limit their remarks to ten minutes. Although the entertainment commit tee refuses to give any information in advance as to what It intends to soring. it goes without saying that when George Baker promises anything un usual in the amusement line, you can take it for granted that something unusual is going to happen. The previous annual dinners have been more or less of a formal nature. and, although it was first announced that this banquet would be formal, it will not be possible, on account of the earliness of the hour, for a large num ber of the busines men to go home to dress; therefore the committee has de cided that the dinner will not be strict ly formal. MAZAMAS HIKE 17 MILES Historical Muttliieu Home at Don ald Included in Itinerary. For their Sunday recreation triD yesterday the Mazamas went to PTahl. on the Oregon Electric Railway. From there they tramped up the Willamette spending a few minutes at the now old and sleepy town of Butteville. with its interesting historical association, and camped for noon lunch at th Champoeg Park. After lunch the party rowea across the river to the north bank, tramping down the river to Wil- sonville, where the train was taken for home. Some of the party visited the old home of Franklin X. Matthieu, near Donald, built 62 years ago. Two huge silver poplar trees in the front yard were planted by Mr. Matthieu 67 years ago. The house was a very pretentious mansion in its day. It has a fireplace In each of the lour downstairs rooms and is still In fairly good condition. The scenery for the entire 17 miles covered , by the hike is attractive at mis time of year. 500 to Boost Cherry Fair. t SALEM, Or., April 19. (Special.)

Rumors of Alleged Embezzlement De nied by Clone Friends Financial AVorry Attributed as Cause. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Callan received a telegram yesterday from Mrs. George H. Holden, of Minneapolis, confirming the identity of the George H. Holden who committed suicide in Battle Creek, Mich., Friday night as her husband.
