ttTE MOTIXTXG OREGOMA!?, SATURDAY, AUGUST - 5, 1916. 6 3-STATE EDITORIAL LEAGUE PROPOSED Plan of Uniting Northwest Newspaper Associations Is . Received With Favor. GREATER PRESTIGE URGED Oregon Editors In Annual Sesniou at Medford and President E. E. Brodie rays High Compli ment to Entertainers. "' MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) 'A. movement was launched at the open ing session of the annual convention of the Oregon State Editorial Associa tion today to form a tri-state editorial association comprising the states of Oregon. Washington and Idaho, to hold their first meeting in 1918 and become a permanent working organization for the interests of newspaper men in the Pacific Northwest. Major H. W. Pat ton, editor of the Daily Washlngtonian, of Hoqulam, Wash., advanced the Idea, which met with enthuslastio favor, and It Is expected definite plans will be formulated before the present conven tion adjourns. Major Patton said the interests of newspaper men in the Northwest were common: that such an organization would have greater strength and In fluence than any single state organiza tlon. and that the meetings would be of great social value and benefit to both newspaper men and the public. Tribute Paid Hosts. In his address of welcome President B. E. Brodie. of the Oregon City Enter prise, complimented Medford upon the royal way in which she was entertain ing the members of the convention. paying particular reference to the motor trip to Crater Lake provided by Medford citizens; the motor trip over the Siskiyou gi-ade under the auspices of - the Commercial Club, and the free hotel accommodations for 125 guests. the largest gathering in the history of me organization. In reviewing the year's work Presi dent .Brodie pointed out the great progress made in the establishment of county editorial organizations through out the state, which had demonstrated their value in a standardization of the newspaper business, 'and while a. state legal rate law had failed, he expressed confidence that at the next session of the Legislature such a law, just to the public and the newspapers, would be passed placing Oregon abreast of other states In the Union in this regard. C S. Whltmore, of Seattle, represent ing the Washington Farmer, read a paper on "The Publisher and the Mer - chant," In which he pointed out with a few practical examples their close association of interests. The Question as to whether advertising pays was no longer discussed by enlightened mer chants, said Mr. Whltmore. No pro gressive merchant questions the mat ter. Under modern competitive condl ttons the merchant who doesn't Inform the public of what he has to sell is certain to fail, and no newspaper can succeed without the support of the merchants. With mutual aid not only are the merchants and newspapers ben. efited. but the town itself is made -I more prosperous and progressive place, he declared. Humorous Talk Heard. An amusing talk was made by El. bert Bede, of the Cottage Grove Senti nel, on "The Editor's Wife." in which he asserted that the country editor who worked his wife and family without paying them what they would receive elsewhere was dishonest to himself, bis family and his competitor, who was endeavoring to conduct his business -along business lines. A. E. Voorhles, of the Grants Pass Courier, spoke on how to make a coun try newspaper pay, laying particular stress upon the necessity of eliminat ing free "readers" and not wasting white paper upon delinquent subscrib ers. Eric W. Allen, dean of the State Col lege of Journalism, urged co-operation between the publisher and the college. while Mayor V. J. Emerick welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city and Dr. T. B. Ford, of Salem, opened the meeting with an invocation. Following the afternoon session the delegates were taken by motor over the Siskiyou Highway and given a sup per and entertainment in Lithia Park at Ashland.

Chris Lassen was today com mltted to the state hospital for the Insane and left for the Salem asylum. He was held In the Clackamas County Jail for a week while an effort was being made to connect him with the San Francisco bomb outrage. Lassen made two confessions of hi chare in the San Francisco outrage one to J. M. Ghrist, a fellow-prisoner, and the other to a Burns detective.. H later denied both confessions, although his stories showed that he knew conditions in San Francisco and part of his story was checked up and found to he correct. Three pictures of Lassen were sent to San Francisco early this week, bu local authorities have not yet received word from San Francisco whether they were Identified. The commitment of Lassen does no ; mean that local officials will stop working on the case, bheriff Wilso Is watching the developments in San Francisco closely. VF. C. Grover Passes at Yelru.

Nazlmova and Mary Garden under the direction of Herbert Brenon, producer of so many remarkable pic ture plays, and Lewis J. Selznlck, found er of the Clara Kimball Young Film Corporation, is the most Important of more recent news in the world of mo tion pictures. Nazimova's first picture will be a film version of the play in which she has been thrilling so many thousands of theater-goers all season, "War Brides." The famous tragedienne has been sought by all the great producers of motion pictures, but it remained for the active Mr. Brenon to win the cov eted contract. To present Nazimova and Mary Gar den, the great operatic star, in pic tures. Mr. Brenon organized the Her bert Brenon Film Corporation and then entered into a partnership with Mr. Selznlck for the distribution of the pictures through the Lewis J. Selznlck Enterprises, Inc., which corporation is also the distributor for the product of the Clara Kimball Young Film Cor poration. Brady's Screen Address. The following is a part of the ad dress of William A. Brady, head of the World Film Corporation, at the Chi cago convention of motion picture ex hibitors: 'The theatrical business was not or ganized and it was mulcted from stem to stern. Every indignity was heaped on us. We organized and within two weeks killed the child-labor bills, anti-copyright bills, and other obnox ious bills which would have cost the theatrical producers millions of dol lars. Now, they are trying to mulct the film makers. We are unorganized and open to attack from every greasy. grafting politician in America. Ostracize the man who makes an Indecent picture. Drive him out of the Industry. Take him and his filthy stuff and bury them. "Refuse to play suggestive. Immoral, dirty pictures and then well, the business will reach that stage to which It Is entitled." Vivian Martin Signs. Miss Vivian Martin, as announced by the Morosco-Pallas companies, has Just closed a long term contract to make pictures exclusively for this or ganizatlon. In announcing this, one of the officers of the companies wrote to the New York office: "We feel per fectly safe in making this contract be cause Miss -Martin has proven her worth- so conclusively." In fact, those who have seen Miss Martin in The Stronger Love," about to be released by the Oliver Morosco Photoplay Com pany, say there is no more beautiful or vivacious, captivating or attractive girl on the screen today. Her work has been compared very favorably with that of the best known screen artists of the day. Miss Martin has such a dis tinct and delightful personality that it is fair to assume she will be highly popular with Paramount patrons. The Optimist Says: I do not object to conversation in moving picture theater. Some people do. If you make re marks about the play, the players, or the incidental music, they turn and stare at you, and sometimes ask you to be quiet. Just as iflt were a talking play and you were interrupting th actors. This is foolish. I like to read the captions aloud and tell my friends how the story is sure to end, and how much better some other director would have handled the scenario. I like to voice my opinion of the whole show, loug enough for those three rows away to hear me. I am a regular pa tron of the movies and my opinions are worth listening to. Certainly, have no objection to conversation at the moving picture theater. What I object to is other people's conversation. Photoplay Magazine. Ex-Champions in Bont. Out .of the Mack Sennett-Keystone studio there are several men who, at one time or another, aspired to pugilis tic honors, and some of them were real "headliners." In fact, at the present time six ex-champions are engaged with Mack Sennett's forces in making the famous Keystone brand of come dies. Just now these ex-boxers are com ing in handy, for Sennett Is producing a piece, while not as yet named. 1 known under the working title of the "fight story. fully equipped boxing ting, with all the necessary pugilistic paraphernalia, forms the setting of a number of the scenes. With the six ex-boxers partic ipating in the fight and with the sug gestions which the directors will get from these "old-timers" the story will no doubt be one of the most realistic and properly produced comedies that has' ever been turned out by the Key stone company. Thejnen participatingln the fight nave been training In the Keystone "lot" for some time, and at several of the rehearsals the director has been obliged to resort to extreme -methods In order to terminate the fight as it was scheduled to end. The two boxers evidently forgot for the time that they were making a moving picture. The "Fight Story" Is a roaring farce, but the scenes in which the fight actually occurs have been arranged to the minutest detail, as It is the intention of Mack Sennett to combine a comedy fight with a real bout. Screen Gossip. Kathlvn Williams has had poetry dedicated to her that, if bound, would fill a good-sized volume. Henry Kolker, since "Gloria's Ro mance" began on the screens of picture theaters all over the country, has re ceived not less than 100 letters per day as a daily average and the greater part of them are in praise of his work in that production, though now and then one creeps through in which the writer beseeches Henry to "get her Job in the movies." Chick Morrison, chief cowboy of the Fdylng A" outat, doesn't believe that horseshoes bring good luck. He has perfect Imprint of a calked shoe on his right hip, where one of the new outlaws" secured for the rodeo kicked him behind the barn. One thing is certain conversational powers in Movleland are not essential. Strong and determined men should subdue, overpower and vanquish the writer who insists on placing the sub title "That Night' in motion picture plays. The characters in "The House of the Golden Windows," which has Just been finished by the Lasky Company for the Paramount programme, suggests those of Orim's Fairy Tales or Hans and Christian Anderson. This is one of the most artistic productions ever made by Lasky. The interesting news comes from Paris that Max Linder, the famous French screen comedian, is to become a Keystoner. After shrapnel and "big Berthas," custard pies will be easy for Max. , Pauline Frederick has developed the theory, and the muscle to prove It. that the best way to acquire a strong rifht arm Is to shift gears on a Stutz roadster. The Famous Players-Lasky star has been officiating at the wheel of her own car for several weeks and becoming so strong that nobody wants to play opposite her In those heavily emotional scenes in which Miss Frederick is moved to inflict bodily harm upon her adversaries. In a big scene for "The Woman In the Case," which is being adapted for the Para mount programme, the star choked Marie Chambers and threw her to the floor so violently that she lay there gasping after the scene was completed and the lights were put out. V Laddie, the pedigreed collie dog that! has a part in "The River of Romance," I nve-act Metro-Yorke wonderplay. was trained to play his role by Harold I Lock wood, who shares stellar honors I 1th May Allison in the production.!

Upon his association with the Thomas 'H. Ince forces, little less than a year ago, he was cast tol wear the frock In "Waifs," in which Jane Grey was presented. Then he was cast to appear as the "meenlster" In support of Billie Burke in "Peggy." And now he is enacting the role of young missionary worker in the desert Island story by Monte Katterjohn and Lanier BartletU In which he is appear ing as co-star with Dorothy Dal ton. under Walter Edwards' direction. - George Fawcett.

Of course every woman Is at liberty to prevaricate- about her age. but we have it on good authority that the beautiful Fannie Ward, the Lasky star in Paramount pictures. Is 41 years young. She doesn t look 21. George B. Selts has been commis sioned by Pathe to adapt all of Rud- yard Kipling's works for pictures. Frank Keenan began his stage , ca reer in in.
