Three of his recent pictures. "The Mazamas and the Three Sisters," "Des chutes Driftwood" and "Hans, Henri and the Neophyte," are being received throughout the. country in a manner that seems certain to add to tourist travel in Oregon. Incidentally the pictures Inaugurate a new regime in the scenic-educational field. This Innovation Is the Injec tion of a plenitude of comedy, a fac tor that has exerted a powerful In fluence In the unusual reception ac corded the pictures. The Mazama picture, while showing many beautiful scenes, was rich In Mazama pranks. As In all his other works, Mr. Bruce has been particularly happy in his titling, which shows a vein of subtle but striking humor that "gets over In nine cases out of 10. Equally success ful Is the reel. "Hans, Henri and the Neophyte," which gives the producer a grand opportunity for daring ven tures and funny titles. Hans and Hen ri, we are told, are two accredited Swiss guides, who, owing to scarcity of tourists in their native land, have come over here to pursue their calling In the mountains of Oregon. This pic ture was taken at an elevation of over 11.000 feet. The comedy gem of the trio Is "Des chutes Driftwood," which Mr. Bruce tells us is a "scenic picture from a hobo's point of view." The scenes were obtained in the Deschutes Canyon of Central Oregon, the leading man from the county Jail in Portland. It has many laughable Incidents, adding life to the purely scenic parts. Jess Sill, of Portland, photographed these pictures under the direction of Mr. Bruce. Triangle to Be Absorbed. Superpictures, incorporated, a sales and distributing concern with a capi tal stock of . $9,000,0,00. promises to soon rank among the. biggest motion picture distrlbutin concerns In the world. This newly-organized company is headed -by. W. W. Hodkinson, founder and ex-president of Paramount, as well as head of the Progressive Motion Pic ture Company; Frederick L. Collins, president of the McCluivs Publications, is vice-president, while Raymond Paw ley, ex-treasurer of Paramount and also ex-president of the Famous Play ers Film Service, of New. Jersey, is treasurer. Formal announcement is made that within a few days the company will be in active control of one of the three largest distributing organizations in the country, and , that the option on Para mount will be exercised if the suit now in the courts is successful. 1 The company mentioned as soon to be controlled is Triangle, which dis tributes the , product of the Griffith-Ince-Sennett studios. It has been no secret for months that the producers comprising Triangle were anxious to retire from the distributing field. The first Superpictures releases will be the seven pictures comprising the "Seven Deadly Sins" series, produced by McClure's. and comprising such stars as Nance O'Nell, H. B. Warner, Ann Murdock, Holbrook Blinn, Char lotte Walker and other stars of equal magnitude. If the Triangle deal is consummated, which ' seems only a matter of days, Superpictures will have one of the big gest programmes on the market to be gin with. The Progressive Motion Picture Com pany handles Paramount pictures at present. If Triangle exchanges are abandoned on the Coast and the Pro gressive handles the new lineup. Para mount apparently will be forced to establish a new. distributing organiza tion on the Coast. Players Flere This Week. Beatriz Mlchelena, star of "The Un written Law," was an operatic lum inary before she went into pictures.

In the Motion Picture Psews studio directory Len gives his age at 32 years. It would seem that while youth is an asset in stardom, more mature years are an asset in other branches of the industry. Len is many years shy of 32. Ronald Bradbury, who used to be with the Baker Stock Company, Is now leading man for Kalem.

Williams Heralds Bene fits of Insurance. EVERY SIDE IS CONSIDERED Seventh Lecture XTnder Auspices of Realty Board and Reed Exten sion Department Deals With Value to the Public The various problems surrounding the institution of fire insurance were discussed comprehensively at the Cen tral Library last night by W. A. Wil liams, general agent for a large Ameri can fire insurance company. Mr. Wil liams' lecture was the seventh ar ranged under the Joint auspices of the Portland Realty Board and the Reed College extension department. "Despite the apparently stringent conditions and technical exceptions con tained in a standard fire insurance policy and although these conditions are sometimes made the basis of- Im proper attempts to avoid payment of losses by unscrupulous companies, there can be no doubt that on the whole and in by far the greater num ber of cases, in fact almost universally. the insured secures absolute justice perhaps more, from the policy," said Mr. Williams, after taking up the 22 different paragraphs in the standard policy and explaining the meaning and limitations of each clause, as well as the historical developments back of the policy. - Fn Law Saltn Indicated. "A very liberal estimate of the amount of litigation under fire insur ance policies indicates that not one half of 1 per cent of claims result in law suits. "When It Is remembered that these claims are. in 90 per cent of the cases occurring, for partial damage to prop erty concerning which there Is legiti mate opportunity for an honest dif ference of. opinion and in view of the fact that the validity as well as the amount of all claims must be es tablished before payment, the amount of ensuing litigation is seen to be absolutely Inconsiderable. Not so in effect, however, for such is human nature that one resisted claim over balances in public estimation a hundred which have been settled not only with out friction but even with liberality Adjustment la Considered. "There is no Investment that pays so well in an adjustment as the time and expense involved in cleaning up. When the property is put In the best possible order the damage can be agreed on by the assured and the ad juster and in the event of disagree ment an appraisal can be had. "The total amount of the loss to the property is not a matter of such consequence that it need be discussed or referred to during the adjustment, but should be determined by the final footing of the figures agreed to in detail. So-called 'jump settlement are wrong and will not be tolerated by reputable companies. The Insured, being the vitally interested party, should have his own way, under proper guidance or assistance by the adjuster to aid him In the right way, to arrive at the amount of his Just claim. Before closing his paper, Mr. Wil liams took occasion to criticise severe ly what Is known as the valued policy law whereby In 21 states. Including Oregon, the amount of insurance writ ten in a policy on buildings shall be deemed the true value of the property at the time of the loss.
