FIRST-RUN . motion picture features at an admission fee of 5 and 10 cents Is the film innovation to be introduced to Portland at the Sunset Theater, commencing tomorrow. After two weeks of darkness, during which ex tensive remodeling was done, the Sun set, the cosy little theater at Broad way and Washington streets, in the heart of Portland's business district, will again return to the ranks of the "first-run" houses. E. M. Loy, until recently booker for the Metro Film Corporation's Portland exchange, and a man of much experi ence as an exhibitor in the Northwest. will manage the rejuvenated Sunset for J. A. Jenning-, of Jennlng tt Son, the owners of the property. Mr. Loy announces that two, three and five-reel - features will be pre sented at the playhouse, tha films to be carefully chosen from the best on the 'open market. Programmes will consist of from six to seven reels, with high-class music to accompany them. "Our endeavor will be to give the public the best possible service at the minimum of cost," says Manager Loy. "The house will be divided' into two sections, one of which will be open to spectators at 6 cents and the other at 10. However, the admission price is not a paramount factor, for the first consideration Is service." The house will open Sunday with a corps of blond girl ushers, garbed In Summer white. Manager Loy and the doormen will also wear white tennis costumes. "After the most rapid advance, the most marvelous progress and quick development ever achieved in a new art or a new industry, the producers of motion pictures have suddenly found themselves at a standstill." says Jesse L. JLasky, famous producer. "This is a truth which few will deny, and much as I, personally, hate to voice it, it is a truth that must be recognized. To disarm criticism, I will admit that this statement is general. A few individual producers are making progress. I predict that Griffith's 'Mother and tha Law' will surpass his 'Birth of a Nation.' Ince shows marked advancement in his Jivillzation over his former productions. Three months after his 'Carmen' was pronounced his masterpiece De Mllle surpassed it with 'The Cheat.' A very few other pro ducing geniuses are forging ahead. Slowly, it is true, but the art is ad vancing. "Still, when one considers that there are approximately 25 five-reel features released in America every week, the majority of them not worthy of the name, we are forced to the conclusion that the wonderful advancement that marked the earlier development of the motion picture has slowed up to a large degree, so that I am forced to reiterate my first assertion, viz: The art of motion picture producing Is not advancing, but is almost at a stand still." The reason ' for this stagnation? Well, Lasky asserts that the players, including the old motion picture favor ites and recruits from the speaking stage, are the best in the world; that photography and lighting effects and direction nave materially improved. and are Improving all the time. He points to the play as the source of evil, declaring that tha dramatists, novelists. short-story writers and scenarists are not delivering real plays, only 10 per cent of their prod uct being living, breathing human-in terest stories. .

Union Secretary Assures Court Flarfct- Ina- la Disapproved Another Err In K Picket la Fined. Assurance was . given In Municipal Court yesterday morning by Charles Bennett, secretary of the Steamboat Men's Union, that tha organization does not look with favor on violence in the prevailing waterfront and steamboat men's strike. Harry Hermanson, i powerful young deckhand, was on trial charged with assaulting a nonunion rlverman the previous evening. "This is the first time that he was ever called out on strike." Secretary Bennett offered In behalf of the de fendant, "and he got a little too en thusiastic, I believe. We . will try and keep better order hereafter and I can assure the court that Hermanson has learned his lesson." "Do you believe In fighting In a situation such as we have now down there V was the question put to Her manson by Deputy City Attorney Stadter. "No, sir." was the reply. Judge Langguth was curious to know Just what affront had drawn the hercu lean young deckhand into the fray. "Well, if a man throws up his hands in front of me, I'm going, to hit him Pittsburg $ 91.60 Washington 108.50 Philadelphia 110.70 Boston 110.00 New York City. 110.70 Portland (Me.) . . 110.00 Corresponding Fares to Other Cities first. If I can." responded Hermanson. Tha case was dismissed, with al severe lecture for Hermanson. Another striker, of the longshore men's division, also greeted trouble on the first evening of the Industrial struggle. Late at night he was re lieved from picket duty and wandered away in search of lighter adventure. While so engaged. P. Roberta met a woman. Both were in court yesterday morning. Roberts testified that he had lived in Portland many years and had never be fore appeared in court, which evoked a cynical epigram from the court. "A man can go a long time without! getting into Jail." Judge Langguth ob served, "but one day he meets woman and down he goes!" Tha erring picket was fined $5 and a similar penalty was exacted of his siren companion. . YEON REFUSES O.K. SHERIFF'S BILL. REJECTED BE CAUSE! ROADMA9TER lUXORED. . Commlulosen Instruct Official to Con sult Purchasing; Aaeat In Order ins; County applies. Because he was not consulted about the purchase of food for prisoners at Kelly Butte. Roadmaster Veon refused yesterday in a communication' to the County Commissioners to "O. K." the bills, totaling $60$. Incurred by Sheriff Hurlburt. Sheriff Hurlburt had not been In formed that Mr. Yeon was supposed to approve the bills. Tha request of the Commissioners, following the Jail de livery In March, when Kelly Butte was under the direct charge of the Board, that he take over the supervision of Kelly Butte took no note of any pro cedure other than the contracting of bills through County Purchasing Agent Nelson. As Roadmaster Teon has charge of the handling of rock from the crusher at Kelly Butte, the maintenance of the rockplle has been charged to the road fund, but Mr. Teon told the Commis sioners that they would have to make other arrangements. "All bills to be paid from the road fund must come through the Road master's office." explained Mr. Teon. A recent purchase by Mr. Yeon of a tire and inner tube for a county auto truck, at a price more than $6 greater than the same articles could have been secured through the county purchasing agent, led to an order from the Com missioners to Mr. Yeon, ending, "Here after, please make all your purchases through our purchasing department." To this Mr. Yeon replied that he would continue to make purchases in emergency cases without waiting for the purchasing agent to act and that he would pay the difference In price him self.
