PYTHIAN SPIRIT IS LAUDED
PYTHIAN
'
Pythianism, as Exemplified in Or
der's Aim to Serve Humanity and
to Prepare for Country's Serv
ice, Wins Praise of Speakers.
Oreson and Portland yesterday ex
tended official welcome to the visiting:
hosts of Pythianism.
Governor Withycombe, for the state,
and Mayor Albee. for the city, pre
sented the Pythians with the figura
tive keys typifying the freedom of the
community.
The ceremonies took place in the
Masonic Temple, and were arranged
as a welcoming tribute to both the
Pythian Sisters and the Pythian
Knights. The general public, too, was
Invited, and the big room was filled.
Gus C. Moser, chairman of the tren
eral arrangements committee of the
Portland Pythians, presided. Cora M.
Davis, supreme chief of the Sisterhood,
and Brig S. Young, supreme chancellor
of the Knights, responded to the
greetings by the city and state ex
ecutives. The assembly hall was handsomely
decorated in American flags and the
Pythian colors red. gold and blue.
Conspicuous among the draperies over
the speakers' rostrum was a British
flag placed there in recognition of the
Canadian delegates attending the con
claves. Senator Moser himself extended the
greetings of the Pythian domain ot
Oregon, and then introduced the Gov
ernor, who said:
"Oregon feels greatly honored in
having these conventions here, and on
behalf of the people of the state I
extend a hearty and cordial welcome.
Oregon is a land of wonderful possi
bilities. We revere and honor the
pioneer men and women who have
made this wonderful commonwealth
and laid the foundation for this splen
i did citizenship."
He urged them to be sure to take a
trip over the Columbia River Highway,
which, he declared, will prove a monu
ment to the public-spirited people of
Multnomah County who caused it to be
constructed.
. Governor Praises Pythlanlnm.
"Your order." he concluded, "believes
in service, and service consecrated to
humanity is the highest duty that can
be performed by man. You advocate
patriotism, and patriotism preserves
the sanctity of the home."
The Governor was vigorously ap
plauded, and following the meeting met
many of the visiting Knights and
Sisters personally.
Mayor Albee paid high tribute to the
splendid type of citizenship represented
by the Pythian orders. He contrasted
them with the destructive elements in
control of affairs in Europe.
"Pythianism," he asserted, "epreads
brotherly love and service to mankind.
It stamis for peace and honor. Let us
hope that this convention will evolve
a new idea for reaching out into the
heart of humanity." "
Mr. Moser then introduced Mrs.
Davis, who responded for the Pythian
Sisters. As an Oregon woman henself.
. she said that her duty in addressing
the meeting was doubly pleasurable.
Her compliments went, too, to Walter
B. Richie, past supreme chancellor,
author of the Pythian ritual and one of
the "grand oM men" of Pythianism.
Grand Chancellor Responds.
"I often have heard of Portland'e
hospitality," said Supreme Chancellor
Young, in delivering his response. "In
fact I have experienced some of it, and
it is no surprise to me. therefore, to
receive this cordial welcome from the
Governor of this glorious state and the
Mayor of this beautiful city."
The supreme chancellor reviewed
briefly the history of the order, and
called attention to the fact that the
Pythian Knights and the Pythian Sis
ters, combined, have a membership ag
gregating nearly 1.000.000 men and
women. The lodges have distributed
more than 339. 000.000 for humanitarian
purposes in the 50 years of their
existence, and now have more than
$20,000,000 In resources consecrated to
humanity.
The military department, he pointed
out. consists of 20,000 able-bodied men.
well trained and drilled, who would
be ready, in time of need, to serve their
country against foreign aggression.
The Pythian military department, he
reminded'his hearers, sent 8000 men to
the front for the Spanish-American
War.

Marie Doro at Pickford.
MARIE DORO, the picturesquely
beautiful Lasky photodramatic
star, is the headliner on the
PicKford Theater's new programme,
whih opened yesterday. "Common
Gro ind," an unusually strong drama
of social conditions, gives Miss Doro
an opportunity to appear in a role of
sympathetic strength. Paramount Pic
tographs and a Bray cartoon comedy
contribute to the attractiveness of one
of the best shows of the week.
"Common Ground" is a story of really
compelling heart interest, realing as
it does with the not unusual struggl
of a young Judge against vice as ar
rayed with corrupt politicians and pre
senting Miss Doro as "The Kid." a girl
of the slums, who is regenerated
through the influence of the young
Jurist, the public is assured of an in
teresting story and a capable star. But
when to this star is added a cast of
such players as Theodore Roberts, Ro
bert Meighan, Veda McEvers and little
Billie Jacobs, there is no fear of a
weakness in characterizations.
Perhaps the most human touch, end
one which appeals to the risibilities
of every spectator, is that depicting
Theodore Roberts as James Mordant,
churchman and vice-magnate, at the
rit-3 of contributing to the church plate.
The ostentatious placing of a large
bill on the plate, accompanied by ,a
sanctimonious smirk, is one of the best
things Roberts has "put over" in some
time.
The story Is that of the struggle of
a conscientious young judge against
the powers that rule the vice trust.
Unwittingly, he is aiming at Mordant,
lather of his fiancee. The politician's
attempt to ruin the judge through the
Kid, and when he foils their plans by
committing her and five other down-and-outers
to his farm to prove his
theory that environment will change
them another frameup is planned.
This one is successful, and one of the
girls is photographed with her arms
about the judicial neck. The judge is
.indicted by the grand pury and forced
to resign. Brain fever follows and the
girls who had betrayed him nurse him
back to health and finally " expose the
rinpr by confessing to the district at
torney. The Kid is given a year's
course of instruction in the gentle arts
of millinery sadly needed etc, and
then the two are united.
Veda the Vampire Here.
Preliminary to the screening of the
iiityliiiiiiljliiiii
Pllllilllli
four-reel Portland-made and society-
cast film feature. "Veda the Vampire,"
which is scheduled for the week of
August 13 at the Majestic Theater, the
management is showing several hun
dred feet of the film this week.
The footage on exhibition deals with
the makeup of the Portland screen
luminari s. the manner in which It is ap
plied, donned, etc., and also the inci
dents preliminary to the filming of
the scenes for the production.
Movies Hurt Streetcars?
Motion pictures are taking the nick
els out of the street railways at a
surprising rate, according to Patrick
F. Sullivan, president of the Massa
chusetts Street Railway system. The
declaration was made before the Pub
lic Service Commission of Massachu
setts, before which the railway is seek
ing to obtain permission to charge 6
cer.t fares.
The pictures and the automobiles
share the money which is going out of
the hands of the street railways, ac
cording to President Sullivan. James
F. Jackson, counsel for the Bay State,
questioned Mr. Sullivan.
"What effect do motion pictures have
upon the income of - the street rail
ways ?'
"We find that they are cutting heav
i'y into the income from our parks.
We .ind that in the suburban towns
People who previously patronized the
theaters in tho larger cities have come
to ba regular attendants at the local
motion picture houses. They have
thus seriously cut into our park riding
and evening passenger traffic," replied
President Sullivan.
Chairman Frederick W. McLeod. of
the Public Service Commission, asked
Mr. Sullivan if there was not created
a demand among the people in sections,
where motion picture theaters were
scarce, or where the programme was
not changed frequently, to ride to the
larger cities to attend the motion pic
tures between times.
".Nothing substantial, we think." re
plied Mr. Sullivan.
Screen Gossip.
Since the New York City Fifth-avenue
buses have shifted their cross
town route from Fifty-seventh street
to Fifty-sixth street the managers of
the line threaten to raise the fare from
10 to 15 cents because of "rubberneck"
privileges which are included in the
new route. The Famous Playters studio
is on Fifty-sixth street and the bus
riders are getting free glimpses of
Mary Pickford. Marguerite Clark,
Pauline Frederick and others of that
company's stars as they flit back and
forth in the preparation of Paramount
pictures. The transportation magnates
feel that their passengers are getting
entirely too much for their money.
Thelma Salter, one of the most
popular child actresses of the silent
drama, is again with the David Horsley
forces. Little Thelma will be seen in
support of the co-stars. Margaret Gib
son and William Clifford in a Centaur
feature jiow being- produced under the
Cofvicbt Hart Schaffner tt Mm
direction of Al Neltz. Durinjr the action
of the play the blonde-haired tot
mingles with Tweedledee and Tweed
ledum, two of the Bostock elephants, for
a number of thrilling scenes.
...
Rube Goldberg, who has greatly en
riched the list of "popular sayings" and
who draws animated cartoons for
Pathe, for the first time in his career
has let his work have a rival. Her
name is Miss Irma Seeman and they're
engaged.
Kathleen Kirkham and Lucille Ward,
two new Morosco players, make their
debut in "Body or Soul," an Edna Good
rich film.
One producer says that the "Rouging'
stars are the bane of filmdom, while
President Freuler, of Mutual, is strong
for stars and says "a million dollars
for another Chaplin."
Roscoe Arbuckle tells this joke on
himself: '
Some of the members of the com
pany were joshing him about his size.
He turned around to his director and
j said, indicating an auto race track near
which they were standing. I ll bet.
Just -the same. I can run around that
track in three minutes. Anybody got
a stop-watch?"
A silence followed.
Then the director looked at Roscoe
sympathetically.
"You don't want a stop watch
Roscoe. What you want is a calendar.'
And only a few weeks ago one of
the Fox players related this same "Joke
on himself.
The Fox comedy studios, formerly
used by Thomas Dixon, are teeming
with activity since Hank Mann is
making funny pictures there.

Marie Walcamp and G. Raymond
Nye saved the Universal Company sev
eral thousand dollars recently when
fire broke out in one of the cabins at
Universal City. Miss Walcamp braved
the dangers of fire and smoke and car
ried out an armload of newly-made

when Mr. Nye interfered. The plucky
little star was nearly overcome.

Mae Murray has been loaned to the
Famous Players Company by Lasky for
work on a picture called "The Big Sis
ter." Miss Murray goes East for the
filming of this subject. This Is the
first outward manifestation of the
practical advantage of the merger of
Famous Players and Lasky. This pic
ture calls for an Eastern setting and
the companies found It cheaper to send
Miss Murray East than to construct
new sets at Hollywood.
