This production is a severe indict ment of divorce as permitted today by the laws of the various states. The story deals with the wrecking of happy family through misconstruction of a simple incident involving his wite A divorce follows, and it is only in after years that he realizes the mistake he made. As a special added attraction during the four-day run of "Perils of Divorce, the Pickford management has secured the services of Stanley and Lea, a nov elty musical team which has been play ine- Orpheum vaudeville.1 Miss Lea i billed as the world's champion Italian piano accordionist,, while Stanley is an expert banjoist r.nd features his own instrument, the Stanleyphone. men and the like share in the general prosperity.

Board Philosophy. Claire Whitney of the William Fox players likes men with beards. 'We had a French marshal in a pic ture." said Miss Whitney, "and even he did not wear a beard. There was a perfectly good opportunity gone to waste." Miss Whitney's theory is that what a man may lose in youthful appearance by growing a beard he gains in manli ness and power. , 'The decline of Rome followed ,the introduction of the habit of shaving," said the actress, "and the greatest era of Greek history was simultaneous with the longest growth of beards. When read history rnd study -social con ditions I often think that the strength of a nation is in direct proportion to the number and length of hair grown on the chin." Screen Gossip. Size has little to do with one's Im portance in this world, as Marguerite Clark and Ann. Pennington demon strated the other day when these two diminutive stars, neither of whom towers to the lofty eminence of . five of the Famous Players studio. It so happened that the other stars either were out of town or doing exterior scenes. As a result Miss Clark and Miss Pennington were monarchs of all they surveyed. Claire Alexander, ingenue of the Cuo Comedy Company, and Margaret Gib son, star of Centaur Features, repre senting the David Horsley studios in the annual bathing parade at Venice, Cal., were awarded prizes by the judges for their originality of costumes. Miss Gibson wore an elaborate pur ple and white satin suit which she calls "The , Elk," and Miss Alexander was garbed in a pretty creation in the style of a "Billy" suit of a rich shade of cerise trimmed with a white satin. Margaret Thompson, the attractive I nee Triangle ingenue, was winner of a dancing' contest recently at a private gathering of photoplayers and Holly wood. Cal., society. At the studio Miss ThnmDRon has been freauently told that she was the exponent of new and attractive steps, but she refused to be lieve this until now, when competent judges awarded her a handsome prize. Lucille Lee Stewart, the Vitagraph's new leading woman, has been presented with a rare document. This Is no less than a letter of introduction to all Mayors in China. ' But here comes Virginia Pearson, Fox star. She is carrying an even rarer document. It's a love letter. No, It isn't carved in stone, but when de ciphered the word "Babylon looms up Old, old. very old. Hughie Mack, the Vitagraph come dian, is going to play Falstaff. He would rather play Romeo, but then there are reasons why he couldn't. . "Keystone comedies do n6t make for 'head laughter," says the press agent. "which is often just a polite smile but for "stomach laughter,' that tickler the ribs and agitates the diaphragm, that makes spectators yield to real sweeps of emotion, slapping their, thighs and holding their sides." Lubin gained a notable victory over the Pennsylvania censors in the strug gle over the screening of "Dollars and the Woman." The courts held that the board "abused its discretion and acted arbitrarily and oppressively." TOWNS ASKED TO AID Oregon Delegation to Yellow stone Park Meeting Urged.

Commercial organizations of the state have been urged by the Portland Chamber of Commerce to send delegates to Yellowstone National Park, July 24-25, to attend a meeting for the or ganization of a National Parks High way Association. The development of National parks and highways in Oregon has made the subject one of close interest to every community In this state and efforts will be made to send a strong representa tion to the convention. The meeting is called at the instance of Steven T. Mather. Assistant Secre tary of the Interior, who has launched a gigantic plan for the connecting of all of the National parks .and the show places for the tourist in the Rocky Mountains and on the Pacific Coast. It is to be an automobile road where speed of 50 miles an hour may be main tained and which is to be constructed through Government and state aid. The road will have a length of between 3500 and 4000 miles and will be the means of . furnishing a comfortable vacation of from one to three months. The proposed road would start at Denver, Colo., and point Northwest to Estes Park and thence to the Yello--Htone Park. Leaving there the road would follow the National Parks High way to Spokane and Seattle. The Pa cific Highway would be used on the south leg of the trip and at Los Ange les it would Join the Santa Fe Trail. The tourist would leave that road at Raton, N. M., and return to Denver over the Great Plateau Highway. In many places the plan would call for the improvement of existing roads, and in others it would require the con struction of short sections to piece the different highways together. The active participation of Portland in the movement is endorsed by W. J. Clemens and other automobile road enthusiasts. PIONEER OF 1845 COMING CALVI.V LLOYD, OK COLFAX. WASH, PLANS TO ATTEXD REIXIOX. Read The Oregonian's classified ads. Son of Man Who Built Second llonne Krected in Benton County Vlxlta In Corvallia. CORVALLIS, Or.. June 13. (Special.) "My father built the second house erected in Benton County," Calvin Lloyd, of Colfax. Washington, stated here today. "That was in March. 1S46. My father came, to Benton County In 1S45. I was 7 years old then and lived in Benton County until I - was 21. I left here in July. 1859. and this is the third time I have been back here sine then: the first visit in the past 25 years." Calvin Lloyd declares he was the son of John Lloyd and that his father, with the late James Gingies and James Wat son, constituted the first County Court of Benton County. "I expect to stay here and look over the old ground until about the 20th. I am going then to Portland to attend the pioneers' reunion. I was an Indian war fighter under Colonel K.elsey. Mr. Lloyd was 77 years old last October and is the last surviving mem ber of his father's family, he said. He walked up and rubbed the County Jail with his hands. "Father was a member of the County Court when they built this jail and he offered to bet no prisoner would ever escape. I under stand a couple of prisoners have escaped from the place, but not during father's time." At the time Mr. Lloyd came to this county there were no boundaries to confine the county to anything like its present area. The eastern boundary was the- Willamette River, as is the case now. Its western boundary was the Pacific Ocean and the southern boundary was the Ftute line of Cali fornia. In 1S51 the southern boundary line was moved up to the prese, boundary, near Monroe.
