- Swollen Throat.
Poisoned milk had nothing to do with
the death of Ida May Purdy, 11-months-old

Jesse B. Purdy, of 1973 East Yamhill
street, according to Dr. R. G. Hall, who
conducted an autopsy on the infant

due to natural causes.
As the infant suddenly went iito
convulsions Saturday after drinking

milk might have been the cause of
death, but it was found yesterday that
the convulsions were caused by strang

an enlarged thymas gland In the child's
throat.

JEW MOVIES VIVID
"Quo Vadis" at Orpheum Is
Succession of Thrills.
SUNSET'S PLOT WESTERN
Tolstoi -Film at Majestic, "Cora" at
National, "The Waif" Jads at
Heilig, Peoples Play "Betty in
Search of Thrills," Xovelty.
Inspirational and intensely dramatic
is George Kleine's presentation of the
famous story "Quo Vadis," which began
a week's engagement at the Omheum
Theater yesterday. A book of strong
interest, a play of tremendous drawing
power, it has now been converted into
a stupendous photo-drama. Nothing so
spectacular since "Cabiria" has been
seen here. It is given in three acts ana
eight separate parts, produced by an
Italian company of artists.
The portrayal of the various big his
torical roles, Nero, the wicked Emperor,
and last of the Caesars, is made piti
lessly cruel and inordinately vain by
the technique of Mons G. Cattaneo, an
artist whose work in the film world is
famous. Peter, the Apostle, is played
with a note of dominant spiritual
strength by J. Gizzi.
Two excellent actors portrayed the
two friends, Petroneus, Nero's favorite,
and- Vinitius, a military tribune who,
through love for Lygla, embraces Chris
tianity.
Lygia. always an appealing role, is
beautifully presented by a young ana
talented emotional actress. Mil
Glunchi.
Thrilling and sensational are the
scenes reproduced of the burning and
sacking of Rome, most exciting and
spectacular are the banquet scenes, the
orgies of Nero.
" The series of spectacles in which the
martyrs are made to suffer at the hands
of Nero are realistically terrible.
MILITARY FILM IS AT STAR
"Court-Martial" Is Story of Fear,
Remorse, Love and Bravery.
'Remember you are the son of a
soldier," said the mother, and how the
son proved himself such, makes a
masterpiece of "Court-Martial." which
will be at the Star this week
untij Wednesday, in this stirring
military play Hobart Henley. Allen
Holubar and Frances Nelson play
strong parts. Jules, the wayward son,
steals military plans from his father.
General Bleriot. In order to pay gam
bling debts. His innocent rival, for
the .hand of Marie, is sentenced tt
death. Overcome with remorse. Jules
confesses to his ' mother, and, finding
his latent manhood, he forgets his per
sonal fear and gives himself up.
The scene, which shows the son torn
from the pleading mother's arms, and
the father forced to condemn his own
child, the depths of love and emotion
displayed, make this four-reel war
drama one of human interest.
"The Witch of Salem Town," with
the popular Mary Fuller and Matt
Moore starring, and a beautiful love
story, mingled with the thrilling scenes
of "witch burning," is an exceptional
two-part film. A clean, humorous
comedy completes the bill. After long
efforts the Star has secured pretty
Margurite Clark in "The Goose Girl,"
which will be played this week, be
ginning Wednesday.
HEILIG PLAYS ENTERTAIN IXG
"The Waif" Feature of Varied and
Interesting Stories and Views.
Variety spices a most fascinating
series of pictures now being shown at
the Heilig. The main picture is called
The Waif," a six-reel story.
This poor little waif was the victim
of an uncle's greed for the family es
tates and money bags, and he was
stolen in infancy. He was taught to
play a harp and earned money for his
captors.
Then he met a fine little street gamin
and they turn into a private detective
agency. By following little clews they
learn of the waif s real mother, and
finally one dark night they set out to
seek her.
Of course, they find her. and the scene
with the mother, who has long mourned
her little son as dead, is truly affect
lng.
Besides the story a fine showing of
topics of the day is pictured. The pic
tures run continuously from 12 noon
until 11 P. M-. closing Wednesday night.
DREAM PLOT IS FASCINATING
"Betty in Search of a Thrill" Is
Clever Story On at Peoples.
"Betty in Search of a Thrill" is none
other than pretty, vivacious Elsie Janis
In a comedy written by herself, pre
sented this week at the Peoples. Betty
returns from the convent and finds her
self too carefully guarded to suit her
romantic nature. She is possessed with
a desire to see the world. Owen Moore
is the suitor, whom she loves, but re
fuses.
Betty goes Into the world, a world
of thrills and joys, which she finds
must be payed for with heartaches and
grief. As the gay world has lost its
fascination and she is about to faint
she is caught in the arms of her faithful
suitor.
When she awakes she finds it is only
a dream. Jim has now no difficulty in
winning her and the ending is ideal.
The Pathe Weekly shows the opening
or the celilo canal. The Travelgrams
are fascinating as usual.
MUSIC DELIGHTS AT NATIONAL
"Cora" Also Attractive Feature of
Entertaining Programme.
.A decidedly unique and pleasing
feature has been introduced at the Na
tional. Every Sunday between 1:30
and 2 o'clock a good musical pro
gram will be given. Excellent piano
and pipe organ solos and duets were
played yesterday by Louis Dimond,
Clifford Carney and Earl Ransom.
"Cora," a - popular and sensational
five-act Metro drama, with Emily
tetevens in the lead, is a special draw
ing card. Cora, the orphan daughter
or the late Madame Renee, temporarily
loses her voice and seeks employment
as a model. The artist and model
are soon rapturously in love, when she
discovers his deception and escapes.
ene enters musical comedy and be
comes a public idol. . The story of how
Garier, the artist, finds her and the
picture of the sensational motor aeci
dent are thrilling Incidents.
"Dimples and the Automobile Agent.'
a Vitagraph film featuring Lillian
Walker, is a comedy of-unusual merit.
TOLSTOI FLAY AT MAJESTIC
Filmed Version 'of "Resurrection"
Is Pathetic and Charming.
Most impressive and pathetic is Tol
stoi's "Resurrection" with Bettv Nan-
sen as Jvatnusna Maslova, W llliam Kelly
as Prince Dimitri and Edward Jose as
Simonson. The photaplay version at the
Majestic is everything that could be
desired. Katusha. the pretty little ward
of Dimitri's aunt, falls in love with
the Prince. Having no alternative, she
attempts to lose herself in - the city.
Later, unjustly accused of a murder,
she is convicted by- a. jury of which
Dimitri is a member. Realizing that
he was the cause of her downfall, he
sets about to affect her spiritual res
urrection. The death scene of Katusha
is particularly impressive and pathetic.
The march to Siberia across the
austere snowy desert is full of pathos
and beauty. A cute children's comedy,
"The Rivals," is truly amusing,-and the
flights of the late Lincoln Beechy, and
the scenes of the San Francisco Ex
position grounds - are interesting.
WESTERN STORY IS THRILLING
Sunset Offers "The Conversion of
Frosty Blake" as Leader.
William S. Hart, in another of the
Western roles he has made famous,
heads the new blended programme
opening yesterday at the Sunset thea
ter, in "The Conversion of Frosty
Blake." a two-act drama with plenty
of action, fine character work and a
red-blooded plot. He has an especially
good supporting cast in Louise Glaum
and Charles Ray.
Walter Edwards, Clara Williams,
Barney Sherry and Frank Borzage ap
pear in "The Scales of Justice," an
other two-act drama of exceptional
merit. The story has to do with a hu
manitarian judge who gives a burglar
one more chance.
"Fatty" Arbuckle of Keystone com
edy fame, as "Miss Arbuckle." con
vulsed big audiences at the theater all
day in his efforts to navigate in skirts.
Among interesting pictures in the
Mutual Weekly is one showing Mayor
Mitchel of New York starting on a
bear hunt it Wyoming.
The bill will run through Wednesday.
PLEA MADE FOR ANIMALS
Churches Throughout City Observe
Humane Sunday.
Yesterday was observed as "Humane
Sunday." All of the ministers of tne
city made some special reference to
the day and the cause that inspired its
celebration.
For several weeks prior to Humane
Sunday, officers and members of the
Humane Society had been planning for
the observance of the day by interview
ing clergymen of all denominations and
writing letters asking them to speak
for the dumb animals who were in
capable of making appeal for mercy.
As a result there was a general re
sponse and the attention of the tiown
ups and the children was called to the
importance of being "kind to all God's
creatures."
Dr. J. D. Corby, pastor of the First
Universalist Church, devoted his entire
service in the morning to the subiect
of "Humane Sunday." A large repre
sentation or members of the Oregon
Humane Society was In the congrega

Great Sacrifice, i
It seems a shame to cut down a
business at this time to the extent
that is. necessary, but I have left
nothing undone and cannot help my-
The owners of $40,000 of the pre
ferred stock of my company want
their money. I have been trying to
place it elsewhere, but no one seems
willing to invest in a prosperous,
though not the very largest whole
sale and retail piano business. I
have, always been on a strictly cash
basis. I cannot borrow the money
now to pay off this $40,000, so I must
take the money out of my business.
By selling out a large portion of
stock on hand and doing it quickly,
I know I can win out. I know that a
big sacrifice is necessary to induce
piano buying now, but I am willing
to make the sacrifice. - I'll make
extraordinary concessions for cash
less than cost and for anyone buy
ing on time will charge only a very
little extra. ,
I have better pianos, grade for
grade, than any other piano house in
the city, because I personally select
my stock. Let no one say that such
and such an instrument is better, or
more valuable than anything in my
house. It is not true.
I have Sohmers and Behning
grands and uprights and player
pianos. No concern in America makes
anything finer. I will take .$143 for
some of my brand new pianos. This
is $10 less than the cash cost at fac
tory. For $155 I will sell them on time,
say $15 down and $7 a month.

Five thousand dollars must be raised

year and concentrate their efforts on
the campaign for JD000.
