which was directed by Herbert Brenon,
known particularly for his aquatic ex
ploits with Annette Kellermann, Is a
photoplay of unusual strength, and
adapted from a one-act playlet pre
sented In New Tork by Nazimova. Its
theme Is that of mothernooa in re
lation to war, and some of Its sub
titles proved offensive to the Portland
tilm Inquisitors. Several of these are
to be made over, but otherwise there
is no change to be mades that will af
fect the continuity of the story or mer

The photodrama, exhibited through

to $2, will be seen on the Broadway

of Carl Laemmle, head of ths Univer
sal Film Manufacturing Company, with
other motion picture enterprises.
Laemmle is reported to have sold his
Universal holdings, and to be connected
in one way or another with new film
companies being organized. One Is said
to have J. Warren Kerrigan as star,
another -Cleo Madison, who signed a
contract with Louis Jacobs recently;
another Involves Blanche Sweet; ' still
another mentions Lois Weber, whose
contract with Universal expires In
April, and names a contract she is to
have with Laemmle calling for 15000
a week.
Screen Gossip.
A letter received recently at ths Triangle-Kay
Bee studios reads as fol
lows: "That William S. Hart's eyes reveal
a compelling force, cannot be denied.
Probably but one or two other screen
stars have this faculty of making their
audience feel their personality. Nearly
every film spectacle has appealed
largely to one's physical senses, Ws
have been gorgeously entertained, ben
eficially enlightened and received ethi
cal strength. But it has remained for
the pre-eminent William S. Hart to
antagonize the evil within us to such a
degree that one unconsciously deter
mines to wrest ths devil's forces with
in our hearts."

Government Expert Forecasts Great
Oregon Industry It Demands
' of Eastern Consumers for
Uniformity Are Met.
The opening up of a great dairy In
dustry In this state Is anticipated by
G. E. Freyart. Government dairy ex
pert, who Is now in Portland making
arrangements for a meeting of milk.
crWm, butter and cheese producers of
ths Northwest
A convention of dairy instructors, in
cluding experts in ths Government
service and dairy men from ths agri
cultural schools of ths Coast, will be
held on February 28, and ths two days
following will be devoted to the gen
ral meetings, which will bs held at
the Hotel Portland.
A special exhibit of fine dairy prod
ucts will be held at ths Portland in
connection with the meetings of dairy
men, various dairymen of the North
west having been invited to compete.
As Judges of the exhibit, the follow
ing have been selected: Butter sec
tion, Thomas F. Wright, of Washing
ton State College; cheese section. P. L.
Lucas, of the Oregon Agricultural
College; milk and cream sections, C. F.
Hoyt, of Salt Lake City, milk specialist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture.
An Important feature of ths pro
gramme will be the demonstrations of
butter-making processes by which it la
hoped to bring about the desired com
mercial utility of Oregon butter Ac
cording to Mr. Freyart, butter is al
ready being produced in this state at
less cost than in the East and Middle
West, and should shortly become an
export of great economic value.
"Butter Is being sold In New York
City for 10 cents more a pound than
it brings on the market hers," he said
yesterday. "The cost of shipping but
ter for th Ne-y York market is only
three and. a half cents a pound. But
it cannot be collected into carload lots
and shipped with any advantage, be
cause of the lack of uniformity in com
position, salting and packing. To make
butter a product for the Eastern
market, its manufacture must be
standardized in all of these respects.
This is what we hope to encourage
through the coming dairy products'
show."
A number of experts have been
scheduled to speak on various problems
of the dairyman, including steriliza
tion and care of utensils, pasteuriza
tion, neutralization and refrigeration.
A meeting or interest 10 oounwivri
will be held on the evening of March
3, when Miss Jessie M. Hoover, pro
fessor of home economics of the Uni
versity of Idaho, will make an address
on the food value or dairy products.
Professor G. L. McKay, of Chicago,
will deliver an address during the
meeting on "Needed Oleo Legislation."
It is expected that the various ex
hibits and discussions will attract a
large number of Northwest dairymen,
and arrangements have been made to
allow special fare tickets on all rail
road lines. One and one-thlrdfare will
be charged for round trips to all dairy
men attending the meetings.
