.Mary Pickford Charms at Peoples,
Racetrack Story Is Star Feature,
Majestic Has War Play and
Sunset Cheers All. ..
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.

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.

MEN! 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.
