BY LEONE CASBAER.
Occasionally I listen to some acutely
homely woman tell how infinitely more
brains are to be preferred to beauty.
I get an earful of chatter about souls
and minds being far lovelier than mere
meat on bones and hanks of hair and
a few rags. And I take fresh courage
and tread heavy on the mental stuff,
closing my eyes to cold cream and real
eilk stockings.
It takes a Shubert show, or a Ziegfeld
gathering to prove a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y
that in the bright lexicon of chorusdom
there is no word but beauty. Do you
suppose for one gentle instant all those
lovely coryphees, sinuous of body,
gorgeous In architecture and emanating
joy, youth and the poise that comes
from knowing that one's nose and back
hair are perfect, wiggle in the front
row because they had four hard years
of Latin and understand the third di
mension? Heanty Is Only Consideration
Nothing like it. They're there be
cause they're beautiful to look upon,
and know just how to wear what little
they must wear.
This story isn't going to be a disser
tation on the uprisings and downsit
tings of chorus maids, but I just had to
begin with them because this Shubert
gathering, "A World of Pleasure," at
the Heilig is surely a splendid one.
And what is a musical revue if its
chorus isn't attractive?
"Hamlet" with the Hamlet omitted.
This chorus has reached the highest
stage of development. Also it keeps
just within the law and Mr. Warren's
profession by keeping its torso well
screened behind a few glittering
epangles.
The legs are all served "an natural"
and are young and certainly not of the
cold storage variety. Positively the
whole output shrieks extravagance.
Much money has been spent with the
prodigality of a minister of munitions.
For every specialty and it's made up
of an Inexhaustible supply there is a
different setting and an entire change
of costume by everyone but the or
chestra men and stage help.
Truly much gold has been devoted to
costuming and scenic splendors and in
securing principals of undisputed clev
erness. And what more can one want in these
heavy-hearted times?
Players From Other Revues.
The players assembled for the most
part from other revues. Winter Gar
dens and vaudeville. It is a huge ex
travaganza, a virile Infusion of color,
action and ginger, a proper blending
of features and a discreet suppression
of too much individuality. That is, you
can't leave the theater saying "Well, so
and so's the whole show." For there
are several so and so's who are big in
the running.
There are the Courtney sisters, who
scatter personality plus all over tne
place with their "different" singing.
There's Margaret Edwards, a lithe min
iature Ruth St. Denis. Her young body
interprets dance in exquisite mood.
There's Franklin Batie. who had to
ting all his songs over and over be
cause we loved his big. rich voice.
And Conroy and Lemaire. the two
funniest black-face men in the world,
bar none, are there with new argu
ments and an automobile act that is a
riot.
Comedian Wins Laurels.
Wanda Lyon, dainty and demure, de
lights in song, and William Norris
easily departs with a laurel wreath for
oelicious comedy. His specialties all
pleased mightily. Rosle Quinn. a beauty
who can both dance and sing; Mary
Mooney, a statuesque doll with a sweet
voice; fascinating Rene Chaplow and
two pantomimist artists. Collins and
Hart, shared in the popularity.
The music is of the higher character
or tunefulness without losing its popu
larity, and the lines are catchy. But
It's the endless change of costume, the
brilliant dance interludes and the spe
cialities mat exniiarate.
"A World of Pleasure" will close
Wednesday night. There will be-a bar
gain matinee that day.

MARY PICKFORD is the Peoples
Theater headliner In "Caprice." a

Not only is Mary the center of at

Owen Moore, is Introduced as her lead
ing man. Mary plays the role of a
mountain girl, charming and winsome.
but woefully, deficient as to the nice
ties of society existence. The man Is
on a hunting' trip and shoots the girl
by mistake.
Interest in the girl changes to love
but her father is forcefully opposed and
so impresses the girl that she agrees
to so act as to make her lover's regard
change to indifference or dislike and
he leaves in disgust. However, he finds
a letter illuminating the situation, and
rushes to hi3 sweetheart.
They are married, but the girl proves
unequal to the task of polite behavior.
So they separate, and the wife, under
an assumed name, goes to a finishing
school for young ladies. There she
meets her sister-in-law, becomes her
roommate, and within a few years be
comes a member of the socially elect.
A guest at the home of her father-in-
law, all ignorant of her real identity.
the girl exposes herself to a delighted
household, and a reunion is Immediately
effected.
"Cold Hearts and Hot Flames" is a
two-reel L-KO comedy, featuring Billie
Ritchie.
Columbia.
A comedy that fairly sparkles and a
star who charms with her acting as
well s physical beauty, in "The Social
Secretary," the current Triangle pro
duction at the Columbia, make one long
for more of the same variety of screen
entertainment.
Not only is "The Social Secretary" a
decidedly worth-while film, but the
programme presents two other strong
features, a splendid two-reeler show
ing the Mazamas on their August hike
to the Three Sisters and a nstlc Key
stone comedy, "The Winning Punch."
Never has a funnier ring battle been
screened than the one featuring "The
Winning Punch." The introduction of
that monstrous fat man is also the
occasion for much merriment, but that
is forgotten when Slim Summerville
and little Bobby Dunn get into action
Inside of the ropes. They take the
count, or a part of It, on numerous
occasions, ' fall out of the ring, fall
through the floor, walk the ropes, and
perform many other ridiculous stunts.
The plot of "The Social Secretary"
deals with a pretty stenographer who
has many trials with employers even
the head of the Purity League, and
seeks peace by assuming a most unat
tractive garb. She saves the daughter
of her mistress from a bad marriage.
reforms the son, and then marries him.
Some of the subtitles are marvels of
wit and humor, while the injection of
a "scavenger," seeking for scandal tld
bits, proves a big hit.

dlans, are heroes. Not submarine en
glneers, or leaders of forlorn hopes on
European battlefields, but screen he

the Mutual picture furnishing enter
tainment at the Pickford Theater.
The plot and action are built upon
the personalities of Mike, Louie and
May.. Mike and Louie are Illinois hay
makers when the story opens, while
May is the petted offspring of a law
yer of questionable ethics. Mike falls
heir to $10,000, but May's dad is han

by selling them a worthless tract of

Finally the heroes decide UDOn sul

Sunset.
"Silks and Satins," & photoplay which
someone has characterized as "a shim
mering fabric of old romance." and
with dainty little Marguerite Clark, In
many respects the most entrancing
personage in filmdom. is the Sunset
Theater's offering for the early week.
The programme also includes Ford
Sterling's Keystone knockout. "The
Snow Cure," and Paramount Picto
graphs. The story is constructed about the
efforts of a modern maid to evade mar
riage "with an unloved man her father
has chosen for her. She discovers a
diary relating the experiences of an
ancestor, a beautiful but willful girl,
who 100 years before was confronted
with the same dilemma. The experi
ences of the oppressed maid of the
Colonial days are all faithfully record
ed, her woes making a deep impression
on the present-day lass. Her resolu
tion to marry the man she loves de
spite all barriers is strengthened by
the precedent established by the far
away relative.
"The Snow Cure" is the story of a
bear, a flirtatious man, and a Jealous
husband.

"Stirring" usually means little or
nothing In these days of much-adjec-tived
film reviews, but that's Just the
kind of a photodrama the Globe The
ater is offering Portland fans In "The
Hero of Submarine D-3." Of action
there is an abundance, pivoting about
the attempt to blow up the American
fleet; "heart Interest" is another valu
able asset to a picture which is a splen

intrigue, politics, and romance. It la a

"Fires of Conscience" takes its title
from the conscience-stricken man who

the authorities. '
Baxter, light-hearted, returns to Ari

on tire, the logical ending gives happi
ness to both.
Pathe News Weekly and a- comedy

T & D.
Exit Billie Burke and "Gloria's Ro
mance." This week the T & D Theater
presents the 20th and final chapter of
tne mm novel. "Love's Reward" giving
Miss Burke and Henry Kolker an op
portunity to play the balcony scene
from "Romeo and Juliet." and fandom
to discover that the Gloria and Dr.
Royce of the story are to be wedded.
For many weeks Gloria may have held
more than a friendly affection for
Royce, but now there is no question of
her attitude towards him. They are
engaged and the novel is finished.
"Gloria's Romance" has proved a
novel serial. Lacking the melodramatic
action of. the average continued-story
of the screen. Its success has depended
largely upon the personality and charm
of the star, Billie Burke, and the per
fect naturalness of Its characters.
The T & D offers, in addition to the
Billie Burke finale, 'two five-reel fea
tures. "Friday the Thirteenth," from
the famous stock market story by
Thomas W. Lawson, and "The Light at
Dusk," a Russian-American story of an
immigrant who reached the pinnacle of
financial success, but lost many essen
tials of happiness.
Lavish stock exchange views are in
teresting features of "Friday the Thir
teenth." which stars Robert Warwick
and features Gerda Holmes.
THIRD OREGON WILL
MUSTER OUT TODAY
Portland to Receive Back 10
Companies Five Other
Cities One Each.
1100 MEN TO GO HOWIE
Camp Wlthycombe Will Be Deserted
Tonight Except for Small De
tachment; Regiment Reverts
to Guard ' Statns.
The six towns of Oregon that sent
their boys to the border three months
age will welcome them home again
today.
The Third Oregon Regiment Is to be
mustered out, and the instant that for
mality is oven eac company will
board a train and start for Its home
town at once. Before nightfall, prob
ably, the last one of the 1100 will be
in the circle of his own home again.
The mustering will begin at 9 o'clock
this morning with a review of the
troops by Colonel C. McLougnlin. At
9:30 the mustering officer will begin
to muster them out.
As f ast as the names of the men
are called and witnessed by the muster
ing officer, they will go to the pay
table and draw their pay for the month
and such other sums as are due them.
Including mileage to their home towns
at the rate of 3',-i cents. Captain
George Shoemaker will be in charge of
paying the men off. and Captain Ken
neth Williams is the chief mustering
officer.
Ten companies belong In Portland
and five in other towns, as follows:
Corvallis, Woodburn, Salem, Dallas and
McMinnville.
The business of mustering out will
be entirely finished at Camp Withy
combe, according to Colonel McLough
lin, by 3 P. M. and tonight the camp
will be practically deserted except for a
score or more left on guard duty.
The Third Oregon will then be re
turned to the Oregon National Guard,
with the difference, however, that it Is
now under Joint control of the state and
Government. There are only about 100
men who have not subscribed to the
new oath. The Federalized National
Guard is subject to call from the Gov
ernment direct and is also under a
three-year reserve provision, which are
the main differences from the original
form of the guard before tl)e reorgani
zation. The Third Oregon was one of the
first regiments mustered In when the
trouble threatened on the border and
one of the first to entrain for the front.
It was mustered into the Federal
service on June 19, and left within five
days for the border.
The order which started the troops
home came the latter part of August,
and the troops started north again on
September 1. arriving here about four
days later. They have been held in
camp at Camp Wlthycombe since that
time.
Arrangements have been made for
special entertainment for the men who
come to Portland after the mustering
out, while the cities to which the other
companies are going are making ar
rangements for local receptions In
honor of their' soldier boys.
SUGAR RATE IS DESIRED
SOUTHER PACIFIC WANTS TO
FAVOR OREGON COMPANY.
Petition Made to State Commission
'for Right to Revise Tariff In
Bulk and Package.
SALEM. Or.. Sept. 23. (Special.) In
order that the Utah-Idaho Sugar Com
pany, of Grants Pass, may compete on
a parity with California refineries in
the shipment of its product, the South
ern Pacific Company today applied to
the Oregon Public Service Commission
for authority to establish the same
freight rates from Grants Pass to
points on the company's lines in Ore
gon as are now in effect from San
Francisco to the same points.
in addition to tne la-cent rate at a
minimum weight of 60.000 pounds, cov
ered in a prior application of the rail
road, the company desires to establish
under like conditions a rate of 20 cents
a hundred pounds on sugar in packages,
carloads, at minimum weight of 36,000
pounds.
The company has also asked to pub
lish a tariff item providing that rates
on c-ugar from Grants Pass to points on
Its lines In Oregon will be made by
adding 10 Cents a hundred pounds at
minimum weight of 36,000 pounds, to
the rates from Portland to these points.

stood, shall not exceed the regular dis
tance tariff rates from Grants Pass to
the destination, and a minimum rate of
23 cents a hundred pounds is to be ob
served.
EMPTY CARS CAPTURED
Southern Pacific Agent Tells of Ob
struction by Cement Flant.
OSWEGO, Or.. Sept. 24. (Special.)
The auestion of car shortage, which
has so seriously affected th.o lumber
industry of the valley, has not worried
the Oswego plant of the Oregon port-
land Cement Company, according to
local officials of the Southern Pacific
A few days ago six empty cars were
standing on the spur leading to the
cement plant. As the railroad ob
served no move to load them, the
Southern Pacific agent served notice
that they would be given to companies
in immediate need of them.
According to the railroad men, the
company then placed ties across the
spur and strung a cable in sucn
manner that a switch engine could not
enter the yards.
The railroad sent a section crew to
clear the obstruction, and a few hours
later the engine crew returned trium
phantly with the empties, which, it Is
asserted, had remained on the cement
company's track unloaded for 48 hours.

crime, alleging as a motive a desire
for revenge against the prosecutor.
It was believed these letters were
written by an inmate of the county
jail awaiting trial, but no charges
were made in this connection.
When placed under arrest, McDaniel
requested the officers not to call for the
patrol wagon and walked two miles to
the police station.
New Witnesses Reported round.
Bart Lockwood, special prosecutor,
appqinted by the criminal court to in
vestigate the case, declared that aev-
era! new witnesses had brought addi
tional light Into the case.
Following an announcement last
week of the Buchanan County Court

penses of a special -prosecutor and a
corps of detectives to Investigate the
murder, an appeal was made by the
special attorney to the public for funds
with which to earry on the investiga
tion. Contributions were asked to be
sent In care of the police department
and newspapers. An offer was made by
JicDanil to aid financially in the
search for the slayer.
The arrested man has three children,
the eldest a boy of 14 years.
State Presents Theory.
Domestic trouble will be the motive
which the State will endeavor to estab
lish, according to a statement by Lock
wood late tonight. Among the new
witnesses will be one who. it Is said, is
expected to testify that Mrs. McDanlol
telephoned the lodgeroom where her
husband was supposed to be spending
the evening of July 15. and discovered
he was not there.
Lockwood announced that the theory
of the State, was that this incident cul
minated in a quarrel during wnicn jurs.
McDaniel was killed by her husband,
who then changed clothes and drove to
town in an effort to prove an alibi.
and that the prosecutor received no de
coy telephone call and himself fired
the shots which he said were fired at
him.

five years ago, has learned to walk on
