W.onderful hand-colored photography features the pictures to be shown at the National Theater ror the rest ot the week.' Eclectic's "A. Royal Impos tor" by far exceeds any picture of the kind ever shown In the city. It is swift and comprehensive of action and Is played with a dash and a snap. The character of the impostor is the strongest one and the force of his personality Is felt keenly throughout the play. The plot centers about a man ,of lowly birth, almost a double to the Prince, who kills the latter, throws his body into the sea and assumes the duties of state thrust -upon him at the death of the King. The discovery of his duplicity and the final reckoning make the denoue ment of this feature a stirring one. It is almost impossible to conceive how many of the scenes In this pic ture were taken. The mob scenes are especially good. MARY PICKFORD SEEX AT BEST Great Film Star Entrancing in Stage Story at Peoples. T Utilfn marA hfnrA her audience and speak, the impres sion she makes could not be better than the one she makes on the screen in "Behind the Scenes." The picture play is at the Peoples Theater this week. It is one of the best Pickford offerings shown, ranking second, pos sibly, to "Teas of the Storm Country" and "Such a Little Queen." "Little Mary" is the essence of glrl ishness, yet she has a subtle, quaint womanliness about her that is most fascinating. Her bird-like movements of head and hands, the wobble of her golden curls, the snap in her bright eyes all go to make for Mary Pick ford's popularity. In "Behind the Scenes" she reaches dramatic heights. The story is one of a struggle be tween the love of home and the lure of the footlights. How the girl finally makes her decision forms the climax for this immensely pretty picture. "Behind the Scene?" will be the ot tering for the remainder of the week at the Peoples. RACETRACK DRAMA THRILLS "His Last Dollar," Feature at Star, "Wins Keen Interest. A thrilling photoplay of the race track is at the Star Theater for the remainder of .the week with David Higgins, the stage success, in the lead. Ing role. "His Last Dollar" tells how a man bet his last cent on a horse to win and almost lost. The picture holds the attention from the first. There are two love stories Tunning through the picture which in tensify the interest of the film. There is the usual intrigue and treachery characteristic of racing pic tures, and the little heroine. who bravely faces her own disgrace to save - the hero. Higgins portrays the role of the reckless Individual who spends his last dollar on the track with a vigor and dash that is splendid. He is ably sup ported by a large cast of Famous Blayers. A Keystone comedy, "Dough and Dynamite," with "Souse" Chaplin in the leading role, rounds out the pro gramme. JULES VERNE'S STORY SHOWS NOTE: Yon are urged to read the ad-N vertisement of Tom Gallagher, which appears on this page. It presents to yon an opportunity that must not be overlooked. ' It's a tailoring sale beyond compare. It is not a sale planned to make money, but every gar ment sold will be at cost or less, and in tailoring the garments one will positively receive the same care and consideration as though yon paid the regular price. This statement is backed by the word and honor of Mr. Gallagher, as well as by the establishment which bears his name. state Board of Health, who is taking a personal interest in the epidemic, that two concurring epidemics are In progress; one of contagious tonsilltis and the other of diphtheria. The diffi culty of handling the situation is con sidered greater as a result of this complication. TAX INCREASE IS LIKELY IF PROHIBITION CARRIES 917,000 WILL BE AUlJED TO TAXES IN 1815. After Next Year $340,000 Now Provided Annually by Liquor Interests Will Pall on Taxpayers. If final election returns show that Oregon has gone dry, the wiping out of the liquor business January 1, 1916. will put on Portland taxpayers an addi tional burden of $170,000 in 1915 and double that amount in each succeeding year. These are figures which have been presented to the City Council by the City Auditor showing the amount of revenue from liquor licenses which will be wiped out by the abolition of the saloons. At a meeting of the City Commission yesterday the conditions were looked into. It is probable that the adoption of prohibition will necessitate the levy of a special tax of four or five-tenths of a mill to make up what the city will lose in 1915 from revenue from liquor licenses. Under the city's system of trans acting business the liquor licenses, which are paid six months in advance in December and June, furnish money at the first of the year to carry the city over from the end of the fiscal year to the time when the first of the tax money comes in. In December of 1915 this revenue will not come from the saloons, because they will have to go out of business January 1, 1916. For that reason the city will have to raise by taxation in the 1915 tax levy an amount sufficient to take the place of the revenue from the saloon licenses. It is probable the adoption of pro hibition, therefore, will upset the plan of the City Commission to hold the tax levy for 1315 down to 7 mills. The estimates have been trimmed deeply in all departments to get them down to the point where 7 mills would be suf ficient as a tax levy. To have an extra burden- of $170,000 placed upon their shoulders under the conditions prob ably will mean that the levy will have to be considerably over 7 mills. One- tenth of a mill provides about 30,000. To raise the $170,000 would take a levy of between five and six-tenths of a mill. In 1916 it will take a mill of taxation to raise the amount which heretofore has come from the liquor trarric and its allied interests.

CHOICE OF THE HOUSE THEY ALL GO NOTHING WITHHELD ' POSITIVELY ANY FABRIC BUILT INTO THE VERY HIGHEST CLASS Suits, Overcoats, Raincoats, Balmacaans If so, then read this heart-to-heart talk with Tom Gallagher, Portland's foremost tailor for men and women. Folks, I am facing a crisi3. I am tremendously overstocked with the greatest stock of domestic and imported woolens that has ever come to one tailor on the Pacific Coast. I regret that I must come out with a statement .of thi3 kind, but these stocks-must be turned into ' cash, or partially so at least. My very business life and existence depends upon it. That is why I am coming out now, throwing myself at the mercy of the people. I have lived in Portland long. I am here to stay. As you all know, tailoring is my business, and it shall always be my business, and right here in this beautiful City of Portland. Now, please don't set me down as a calamity howler. We all know that times are a little off. I have all the confidence in the world that busi ness affairs will soon adjust themselves. Things would not look so blue for me now if it were not for the fact that I am a wholesaler as well as a tailor of woolens. A backward season has affected all tailors more or less, and many of my whelesale orders have been canceled, throwing the goods back on my hands. The big European mills that are affected by the war have closed down and have made demands upon me for money. ' They are offering me a lib eral discount for the immediate payment of bills, which if not immediately met, they state they will force collection. It is simply a case of getting money, folks, and getting it quick. That's the story in a nutshell, and that '8 why I am throwing my great stock of woolens on the market to be sold now, in the face of advancing prices. In placing my great stock on sale, from which men may select any fabric and have it tailored into a Suit, Overcoat, Raincoat or Balmacaan for $23, and from which the ladies may select any ' fabric and have it tailored into a Suit at the astounding price of $30, I wish to emphasize this one point: Every garment made will receive the same care and consideration as though you paid the regular price. They will be of Tom Gallagher standard through and through. Though in holding this sale I shall lose money, I will know that I have gained the good will of many- more friends and customers for my estab lishment, and I will have carried the business suc cessfully through such a crisis as comes to all us business men at times.
