WITH the salaries of screen artists rising: higher by leaps and bounds, until a jealous public is tired of figuring on paper how many dollars each star gets per second, and has a crick in the neck from trying to look over the top of the bale of bills that is hauled around to Chaplin's house every morning, the question arises, When is it going to stop? Here are the opinions in a nushell of a number of the "higrher-ups" of filmdom: "Quality of art is a greater asset than a star, and as the demand for the - latter grows less, the salaries they exact will be reduced and prices be come normal." Adolph Zuker, presi dent Famous Players. "The sky is the limit. The public decides what we shall pay the star. There is no reason why some stars can not command a salary of $2,000,000 a year some of these days. They are worth just a share of the profits that the employers get out of the star's abil ities, plus his investment. They will "always be able to collect that." John R. Preuler, president Mutual Film Cor poration. "Some of the film manufacturers are jroing mad. The salaries paid are a joke, and within a year a reaction is going to cause an entire reorganiza tion of the business. The manufacturer is at the mercy of the star today. Film stars are only temporary fads. Five years from today their names will be unknown. The salary of a star in no way affects that star's popularity." Carl Laemmle, president Universal Film Manufacturing Company. "High salaries for real stars have come to stay. He is worth his hire in proportion to his earning power, and the company that fails to recognize a tstar's value cannot hope to keep him. High salaries are in no sense a sign of loose business methods or of un sound conditions. The small-salary ,dayi for the real stars are over in mo tion pictures. No large company is paying big salaries until the possible and probable financial returns have been carefully considered. Great talent will always bring great salaries." Richard A. Rowland, president of the Metro Pictures Corporation. How About Mary Plckford? Recently a statement was made in New York by Mary Pickford that at the expiration of her contract with the Famous Players Company she had en- tered into no other and that any ar rangements with that concern at the present time were meroly tentative. Adolph Zuker, president of the com- pany, comes forth with a denial of the statement, also an expression that he doubts the authenticity of the state ment attributed to Miss Pickford. He WATERY BLISTERS fill OVER HIPS Spread Rapidly to Elbows. Very Painful and Itched and Burned. Nearly Crazy with Irritation. HEALED BYCUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT r "My trouble began when my hands broke out all over in little watery blisters and spread rapidly to my elbows. The breaking out was red and unsightly and my hands were extremely bad with inflammation and were swollen. They were very painful and both itched and burned and I was obliged to scratch and then they seemed to be irritated worse and I could not sleep. When near any Are, I nearly went crazy with the Irritation. "The eruption came on a week before I got Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Ia tneenty-one days I was healed.

'X declares that in January the Famous Players-Mary Pickford Company was formed, and that during 1916 Mary works for double her guarantee of 1915. However, Owen Moore, who plays with Dorothy Gish in Triangle features, left Los Angeles not so long ago for New York, the purpose of his visit being to talk over with his wife aqy contracts .she might have pending. So it looks as though there might be something to the report that the "Na tion's sweetheart" is a ree agent. A New York theatrical daily an nounces that Ben B. Hampton, vice president of the American Tobacco Company, has made a three year con tract with Miss Pickford, the contract being dated March 18. Screen GosKip. Anita Stewart, star of "The Goddess" and other Vitagrapn features, may ap pear as the belle in the stage revival of "The Belle of New York." Falling to induce Edna May to return to the stage, Mr. Lederer looked elsewhere and has offered the famous role to "The Girl From Heaven." She is under con tract to the Vitagraph Company and much depends upon the attitude of that company. The next starring feature for Mabel Taliaferro will he "The Snowbird." New York has a movie scandal. It is charged that film inspectors have been coached to blackmail theater pro prietors. Six new players have been signed by William Fox. They are: Milton Sills, Hattie Burks, Kdla Furry. Stanhope Wheatcroft, Dorothy Rogers and Alice Gale. "A Daughter of the Gods" is to be the name of that much-talked-of million dollar Annette Kellerman picture. They say that Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew are so funny that they have to be- boxe-d off from the rest of the studio in order that Metro may secure from the other players a jut return for Its investment. Alex Pantages has gone into the movie business. He has leased a Southern California studio, engaged Chris Richman, an English comedian on his circuit, and soon will produce the "Pantages comedies," to be first exhibited in Pantages theaters and then released generally. William Randolph Hearst, a power in the newspaper and magazine field, is going into the motion picture busi ness, according to New York reports. He plans to organize a new chain of film exchanges and eventually go Into the producing end of the game. Edward Jose Feature Film Corpora tion is the new name of the Pathe com pany which is producing "The Iron Claw," the famous serial, The Willard-Moran fight brought into being a $100,000 corporation for the filming of athletic events. The Cham pion Sports Exhibition Company is Its name, with Fontana Eros., New York importers and jobbers, as the principal investors. Metro celebrated Its first birthday last week throughout the country. The flrt release of the company was "Satan Sanderson," March 29, 1915. The Ohio censors have banned "close ups" of Villa, declaring that such ex hibitions are likely to arouse bad feel ing at the present time. Mabel Normand is to star in five-reel comedy dramas, the first to follow the lines of "Peggy," the Billie Burke debut vehicle. Richard C. Travers, one of E'sanay's leading men, has started on a 20-week vaudeville tour. He will visit the 20 largest cities in the United States, giv ing an original monologue and a talk on pictures. David Thompson, assistant director t the Columbia-Metro studio, has re cently earned the degree of M. D. Dave never goes out with a company of play ers without a complete kit? of "first aid to the injured." Moreover, he knows how to use it. There were several ac cidents during the making of "The Kiss of Hate," in which Ethel Barrymore is starred. The most serious was when Niles Welch was knoeked senseless by the butt of a rifle, carried by a Cossack on horseback, which Struck him across the forehead. This accident was Just a little too much for Dave to treat, but he administered first aid until the am bulance arrived. Miss Barrymore suf fered a painful cut on one of her fin gers in one of the scenes at the studio and old Dr. Thompson dressed the wound every morning until it was healed. mm The manager of a Los Angeles mov ing picture theater has inaugurated a series of surprise performances. It is his idea to have at every performance some of the moving picture stars at present in Los Angeles appear and do some sort of a stunt. Last week Charlie Murray and the Keystone Cops staged a free-for-all battle that would be worth $3000 a week on the Keith circuit.

WILDER IS KILLED Resident of Portland Gives Life for Native Land. DEATH COMES IN ACTION Man Xoted for Horsemanship Speed ily Wins Commission in Crack Regiment and Is Sent to Front After Short Training. Richard Wilder received a cable yes terday morning announcing the death of his brother, Frank "Wilder, "some where"" on the British battle front. Lieutenant Frank "Wilder, of the Royal Horse Artillery, was killed in action. Residents of Fortland knew Frank "Wilder as a real estate dealer in the Commonwealth building. For 14 years he had been a resident of this city and had many warm friends here, but the fighting front in France knew him as a son of Albion who had crossed the water to the succor of his motherland. He left Portland October S. In London he offered himself for enlistment and was accepted. With barely three months' enlistment to his credit the volunteer from America won his commission as a Lieu tenant of artillery and was ordered to the front. The Royal Horse Artillery is jeal ous of its traditions. The first of these is that its men and officers ride. hard and bravely. Among the horsemen of the famous "Galloping Blacks." Frank Wilder won special mention from the Colonel as one of the most fearless riders in the command. Richard Wilder, his brother, heard regularly from the young officer. The last letter came on February 28. It was dated from "somewhere" in the zone of strife, and at a position one mile from the front. He wrote that his battery was expecting orders to go into action at any time. The letter spoke casually of the dis comforts and hardships of the cam- troduced a bill authorizing the County Commissioners of Franklin and. Walla Walla counties, Washington, to con struct a bridge across Snake River be tween Burbank and Pasco. CHOKING REPAYS KINDNESS Girl Says She Gave fiance $145 in Year and Half. CHICAGO, March 27.

He woi'd not work, she said, and, after she had several times refused to see him, the affair culminated March 7 in his visiting her at the home of a -friend and choking her, she testified. Miss Ellis' story and four notes he sent er caused the Judge to fine him $50 and costs. HOTEL CHEATS ARE CAUGHT Portland Hoetelries llenew Contracts v Witli Burns Agency.

BROADWAY PLANS FILED STRANGE BifiD DOUBTED OREGON BIOLOGIST QUOTED AS QUESTION'IXG ROOSEVELT FIXD. Ex-President Cannot Be Expected to Have Expert Knowledge to Decide Sew Species, Is Statement. William L. Finley, State Biologist of Oregon, In an article appearing in the Boston Herald of March 27, is quoted as doubting that the bird reported found by Colonel Roosevelt is the dis covery of a new species. The article quotes Mr. Finley in part as follows: "It is possible, of course, that this bird is one new. to science, but that seems hardly probable. The northern part of South America has been very thoroughly studied, and it would be unusual to find anything there that is new to science, although in the more remote regions of the continent new forms of life are being discovered from time to time. "One must remember that different species sometimes vary but slightly. Some birds change their plumage at different seasons, so that a well-known bird may be mistaken for a different type unless the observer Is an expert qualified to decide a point like this. So I would question the assertion that this is really a new species. "Now, Mr. Roosevelt likes to perform field work in natural history, but nat urally he cannot be expected to have the expert knowledge of the subject which is possessed by scientists "who devote their lives to the work." PLEA MADE FOR INCUBATOR Matron of Pisgali Home Also Asks, for Harness and Anvil. Needed at the Pisgah Home farm, near Scappoose. an incubator. Mother Lawrence, of the Pisgah Home, said yesterday that the farm wished to go Into the chicken-raising business on a more extensive scale and thus become more nearly self-supporting. She suggested that if someone would merely loan the farm an Incu bator for the Summer it would serve the purpose. Other articles needed, she said, are a single harness, a forge and anvil and accompanying tools, and records for a phonograph. Grandview School Board Elects. GRANPVIEW, Wart., April 3. (Spe- 0 cial.)

Now Treating Constipation WithParaffirie Lubrication of the Bowels With Pure Petroleum Brings Relief to Many. The lubrication of the bowels with paraffins or petroleum, taken in wardly in ordinary doses, has proven a remarkable success in the treat ment of constipation. The new petroleum treatment was introduced by an eminent English physician only last year. Since that time its use has spread over the en tire civilized, world. The treatment consists' of taking liquid petroleum in ordinary doses. The petroleum lubricates the bowels and softens the hardened masses in the passages. These masses then pass through in the most natural and easiest manner pjrsible. The action of the bowels is entirely nat ural and is not caused by stimula tion. Ameroll, which s one of the most popular forms In which this petroleum Is used, la the purest pos sible form in which petroleum or paraffine can be taken. It is most agreeable to take, being tasteless, odorless and colorless. One of the points worthy of no tice is the fact that Ameroil is dif ferent from a laxative in that it is not absorbed and does not pass into the system. Ameroil hag proven a splendid remedy tor constipation after being tried in a very large number of cases. Its benefits have been very marked in cases of con stipation of long standing. Ameroil is sold in pint bottles for 50c at all owl drug stores. Adv.
