PRETTY GIRLS AT PARTY
Thrillers Are to Be Staged, at City
Park, I,ove Scenes on Golf Thinks
and ; Dance at Waverley
Will Be In Picture.
Young: wives who have handsome or
rich husbands beware! "Veda, the Vam
pire" is about.
Veda Is the heroine of the society
movie that Is being: produced right here
in Portland the film that will make
Portland famous. Real society, known
at times as the smart set. the exclusive
set. the arbiters of fashion, or what
you will, has actually entered the
movie field as per schedule recently
announced.
Some of the most Important scenes
were taken yesterday. Others will be
made today and -up to July 1 the girls
and men who have marveled or won
dered regarding the life of the movie
actors will get practical knowledge of
the subject.
Hundrfes In the vicinity of Twelfth
and Washington etreeta yesterday
rushed about, in great excitement.
"What's do matter a riot?" asked a
amall boy as he edged in.
Society Taken at Garden Party.
"Riot, n-uthln. It's dem swell guys
retting: their pitchers took fer a
movie," another replied. He was right.
It was only a scene in the famous so
ciety film. The husband In the scen
ario was threatening to shoot the
chauffeur who wouldn't tell him where
Veda, the Vampire, had gone.
little later, out in Mrs. Helen Ladd
Corbett's garden, a bevy of pretty girls
were taken in a garden party scene.
They were the bridesmaids and inti
mate friends of the bride Miss Helen
Tirirl und thev had assembled to con
sole the young, bride, whose husband
had been stolen by the wicked Veda.
The girls rehearsed the scene several
times before they got it Just right. At
the moment the picture was ready
Airs. Corbett's gardener got in the
way, but the screams of the girls made
him beat a hasty retreat.
Carious Halt Traffic .
The scenes aren't being made In the
order in which they will appear in the
scenario. Oh, dear no. As. a matter
of fact, the wedding ceremony hasn't
been staged yet, but the after scenes
are already finished.
In making the shopping picture at
Fifth and Morrison streets, traffic was
halted for a few momejits, the curious
crowds pressing round no steadily.
"What can be the matter?" they
asked.
"Why are all these people tearing
around with their faces so luridly made
VP?" '
It was unusual, to say the least, to
see the girls who as a rule scorn
paint and powder, or. " use it '.most
adroitly, appearing in the shopping dis
trict with grease paint and other make
up on in. generous Quantities. But this
is why they are in the movies this is
the secret of it all: The picture will
be shown for the benefit of the Peo
ple's Institute, one of the worthy chari
ties or organizations in the city, so
why shouldn't the girls work over
time? They are giving their time and
talents for the benefit of the People's
Institute fund.
City Park to See Thrillers.
Then, too, in spite of hard work, it
Is loads of fun. This . morning they
will all go out to Henry I Corbett's
country place, which in the story Is
"Seaman's farm."
Later there will be the scene, "Two
Little Love Birds," staged at the golf
links. Saturday there will be some
thrillers taken in the City Park. Next
week there will be a dance at the
Waverley Country Club. Something
doing every -day, every minute, in fact.
Ford Tarpley is directing the makln;
of this wonderful picture, and Mrs.
Eleanor Sanford - Large is assisting
him.
There was little time for beauty
sleeps Tuesday morning when the first
scenes in the society moving picture
were taken. At 8:30 o'clock, some of the
girls, with only a slice of orange and
a cup of coffee for breakfast, hurried
to the Mount Zion district on Council
Crest and had their first Introduction
to the movie.
1 Girls Play Naturally.
It was a rural, almost bucolic scene,
and tables, chairs, linens and clothes of
various descriptions were carted up
there with other paraphernalia for one
of the pictures. At. the home of Mrs.
William MacMaster another elaborate
scene was taken., This was the grand
formal reception for Veda the Vampire,
who had "climbed" thus far into the
social realm.
The bride (Miss Helen Ladd) and the
bridegroom were there in state and this
scene promises to be one of the notably
interesting ones. The action was off
as if the girls were dyed-ln-the wool
movie queens, and Mrs. MacMaster's
two dogs were commandeered for the
occasion. This scene is briefly known

tetter tq Miss Alice Cornwall Says
Age Limit for British Recruits
Raised to 18Vi Tears.
In a letter, dated May 26, to his
cousin. Miss Alice Cornwall, 1159 Mal
lory avenue. A. C. Ferguson, of Thirsk,
Scotland, expresses a doubt whether the
European war will be brought to close
before next Winter.
"I think we are in for another Wlr
terof warfare." he writes, "and I do
not see any prospect of peace for an
other year at least.
"The submarine menace has once
more been reduced to a minimum, but
whether it is due to the efforts of our
fleet, or to .the note from President
Wilson, it would be hard to say. The
prospects for a good hay crop and har
vest are distinctly favorable so far. bo
we must live on and hope for the best."
Mr. Ferguson has a son at the front,
who has been acting since last October
as regimental transport officer to the
First West Yorks. The son declined
promotion to a Captaincy.
A noteworthy remark in the letter
was that a younger son in the family
had sought to Join the army, but was
not. needed. The age limit has been"
raised to 18 years, the letter said,
and the son has returned to school for
another term.
FISH MEN CONVENE TODAY

ings will be held at the Chamber of

cial and game purposes. Government
officials, members of the State Fish and
Game Commission, representatives of
the Chamber of Commerce and dele
gates from all of the Important com
mercial fishing 'concerns of the North

Drill by Firemen In. Business Dls
trict Also Probable; Extensive
Programmes In Three Cen
ters Are to Be Held.
A glorious Fourth It will he In Port
land a Fourth like they had in the
days of old, with one exception no
firecrackers.
The committee met at the City Hall
and after working out details set sub
committees to work.
First of all comes funds: The Port
land Press Club started the ball rolling
by donating $100 and other organiza
tions and individuals have promised to
follow suit at once. .
Here is-what the committee plans to
do; At 6 A. M. on the big day the
populace will be awakened by the
blowing of whistles, the ringing of
bells and the firing of salutes by war
ships in the harbor. They hope to aug
ment the collection of ships with the
battleship Oregon.
At 10 A. M. the bir event of the day
will be started a military, civic, Ira
ternal and industrial parade.
The parade at-the close will divide
into three' sections, one moving to
Multnomah Field, another to Chapman
Square and the third to the north plasa
blocks. At these places patriotic ex
ercises will be held.
At Multnomah Field after the exer
cises the National Guard will stage a
military- tournament which promises
to be a highly interesting and spectac
Dlar affair. This will be followed by
all kinds of old-fashioned sports at
Multnomah Field with prises for wlnJ
ners.
During the afternoon it ia planned to
f-tiave a sensational fire demonstration
In the business district. The details
of this have not been worked out, but
it may be along the lines of a drill
given two years ago, which attracted
wide attention. Possibly also there will
be races and other sports on the down
town streets.
In the evening a fireworks demon
stration will be held. Details have not
been . worked Out, but it is planned
either to have a big fireworks display
on a barge or to build a mock steamer
and burn It and have the fireboats
fight the blaze.
Another plan not entirely worked
out is to have a big night parade or a
street dance, or both.
The finance committee has appointed
a list of sub - committees to solicit
funds. These committees are as fol

City Rejects Drainage Proposal.
The City Council yesterday rejected
a request of W. T. Lyon that the city
construct a concrete basement under
his house at 350 East Sixtieth street
because of water draining into his
basement from the slopes of reservoir
No. 6. Mr. Lyon contends that the lack
of drainage on the slopes caused the
water to flow into his basement, caus
