Marv Turner has been the Lady Bountiful of the stage, for since she first made her appearance in 1912 'she has made several women famous, has added to the fame of others and has Doured into the coffers of her pro ducers approximately 13,000,000. This is more money than ever was made oy any other play within a given length of time about four years. Alice Joyce, start of Vilagraph s "Within the Law." at Majestic Thea ter, will be known as "the last of . the Mary Turners." because the play never will be presented again. Among the noted actresses who played -the role on the legitimate stage were: Jane Cowl, Margaret Illington, Helen Ware, Emily Stevens, Muriel Starr, Catherine Tower and Clara Joel. Edyth Goodall headed a company in England. There were more Mary Turners, be cause at one time there were nine "Within the- Law" companies playing in the United States and Canada, and, in addition, the play has been presented in England, Ireland. Scotland. France, Belgium, Austria-Hungary! Norway, Holland, Australia and New Zealand. Emily Stevens was the first of the Mary Turners, playing the role in the original Brady production of "Within the Law" in Chicago. This venture was short-lived, however, and the play was afterwards sold to Selwyn & Co., in association with A. H. Woods. It waa not until the latter combination took hold of it that 'Within the Law" actually became known. Jane Cowl was selected by the Sel wyn s for the heroine and the great melodrama was used as a vehicle for opening the Eltlnge Theater in New York. It was an Instant success from the night of Its premiere, September 11, 1912, and played continuously in the Eltinge for 80 weeks. Miss Cowl then made a brief tour of the East in the play. The play marked Miss Cowl's entrance .into stardom. It was during the -long" run at the Elttnge that Helen Ware, who pre viously had scored a great success in "The Third Degreee." became a Mary Turner. Margaret Illington's success with "Within the Law" was quite as sensational as that of the others. Catherine Tower, who was a mem ber of the original company headed by Miss Cowl, later headed a company in the role of Mary Turner and scored a huge success in her tour. The same was true of Muriel Starr and Clara Joel, who headed a Southern company. Each of these actresses put her own personality Into the part and Miss Joyce, whose work as Mary Turner is the most artistio of her career, made a study of them all. The result is a splendid composite interpretation, to which Miss Joyce has added a strong sympathetic finish. Rnssell on Stage at Eight. William Russell, star of "High Play," Is a Fordham College man with a West Point finish, an athlete by instinct and training and an actor by divine right, having been associated with the stage in one way nr another since he waa 8 years old. One of Russell's first pronounced successes was with Ethel Barrymore in "Cousin Kate," a play that enjoyed great vogue and in the success of which Mr. Russell was admittedly instrumental. Mr. Russell's first theatrical engage ment was with Charles Hopper in "Chimmie Fadden." The boy actor joined David Higglns for a brief en gagement and was in support of Chauncey Olcott at the opening of the following season. In 1910 Russell was with Blanche Bates in a tour of the United States and in 1911 he played leads with the Poli Company, of Phila delphia, making an especial hit in St. Elmo. For a season Russell starred In vau deville and then broke into - motion pictures through a Biograph engage ment, successively being featured by the Thanhouser, Famous- Players and other producing corporations before joining the American forces. Some of the most famous photo dramas in the Russell list of successes are "The Gar den of Lies," "Dancing Girl," "Diamond From the Sky," "The Straight Road," "The Highest Bid" and "The Sequel to the Diamond From the Sky." Clone Chooses Players for Roles. "The Eyes of the World," dune's bis cinema version in 10 reels of Harold Bell Wright's celebrated story of Southern California, must be Inevitably associated in the public mind with that other Clune film . triumph, "Ramona." Not only was it made by the same pro ducers, but by the same methods fol lowed in the construction of Helen Hunt Jackson's wonderful story. Like the other story, "The Eyes of the World" is a romance of Southern California. Three of the prominent members of the "Ramona" cast are in "The Eyes of the World." These are Monroe Salis bury, who played Alessandro the Indian lover; Lurline Lyons, who en acted Senora Moreno, the Spanish amtron, and Arthur Tavares, who was Senor Ortegna. These artists were chosen for "The Eyes of the World" cast not merely because their charac terizations in "Ramona" were so re markable, but because they really fitted parts in Mr. Wright's story. Clune was the first of the big pro ducers to discourage the idea of the stock company, which led to so many causes of mis-casting. For each pro duction he picks his actors from the widest field. How much better this is than the old way was seen in the won derful selection of types and the fine quality of acting in "Ramona." Globe. Clara Kimball Toung in a plcturiza tion of Thomas Dixon's "The Foolish Virgin" and Phillip Pelz in violin and cornet solos comprise the chief fea tures of entertainment at the Globe Theater on the week-end programme. "The Foolish Virgin" is a story of Mary: Adams, a young school teacher imbued with a spirit of romance. When she is rescued from the advances of a ruffian she pictures her rescuer as a modern. Sir Gallahad, falls in love with him and they are wedded. Later she discovers that he Is a burglar. He takes his bride to the moonshine district of a Southern state. His mother, unaware of the identity of the man who is stop ping at her home overnight, tries to kill him to get possession of jewelry he has stolen. The mother dies from the shook, husband and wife are part ed, but reformation is followed by re union. " Mr. Pelz is enjoying a successful en gagement at the Globe. He is well known in Portland as a band leader and soloist. Big Scrap In "Dong's" Next. A terrific fight on horseback, in which Douglas Fairbanks finished the victor, is only one of the promising features incorporated in the forthcom ing Artcraft production, "Wild and Woolly" presenting smiling "Doug" in the stellar role. Three cameras stationed-' in automobiles were assigned to photograph the big fight scene on a galloping broncho, with Director John Emerson directing from a fourth motor car. During the staging of the exterior scenes Douglas Fairbanks and the players lived in tents instead of driv ing back to the nearest hotel, a distance-of 35 miles. Many interesting stories were exchanged around the old oampfire and on Saturday night the planned dance took place. The cow boys who were engaged for "Wild and Woolly" supplied their own musio and everyone seemed to have had a re markable time, which only goes to re call what a cowpuncher recently said to Fairbanks while they were riding on the Mohave Desert: "How do you like it out here, Jim?" asked Fairbanks. "Well, It isn't where you are, Doug, but it's who you're with that counts." Screen Gossip. Dorothy Dalton was bom in Chicago In 1893. After her education In high Fchool and the Convent ot the Sacred Heart, she decided to become an ac tress. Her father opposed the ambi tion, believing that his daughter would make an admirable lawyer Just as she did on the screen in "The Weaker Sex." Thereupon seh proved her argumenta tive powers by persuading him not only to sanction & stage career, but to send her to the American Conservatory of Dramatic Arts. Her first professional appearance was with the Virginia Har ned stock company, in Chicago. Later she played in a St. Paul theatrical or ganization and In an act of her own on the Orpheum vaudeville circuit. Ethel'tlayton, in "The Stolen Para dise." has played her last engagement for some time with Edward Langford as her leading support. Mr. Langford having gone to the war. For some time to come Miss Clayton will have the assistance of Milton Sills as leading man, Mr. Sills making his first appear ance in this capacity when "Chasms" is thrown upon the screen for World Pictures-Brady-Mad e. V Over at Fort Lee they, call little Madge Evans "The darling of the stu dio" and all hands not otherwise ac tively engaged stand around with a broad grin watching her scenes in "Jerry-for-Short." In which she Is to be starred by World-Pictures Brady-(Made. TWO EH III FIELD FOR CITY AUDITOR James Gill and John Y. Rich ardson Said to Have ' Chance for Place. SOME OFFICIALS HOLD OVER Members of New Commission Are Besieged by Applicants for Nu merous ' Subordinate Posi tions That Will Be Open. Two formidable 'candidates are now in the field for the position of City Auditor to take the place, July 1, of A L. Earbur, who has - been elected City Commissioner. The two are James Gill, deputy city auditor, and John T. Richardson, a public accountant. While the line-up of the Council has not assumed definite form aa yet. It Is said that both candidates have assur ance of support. Mr. Gill has been a deputy in the Auditor's office for about 13 years and has taken an active part in the work. 'It Is said that his ap pointment probably will be favored by Auditor Barbur. Commissioner-elect Kellaher and possibly Commissioner tsigeiow. Mayor-elect Baker has not indicated his stand, and it is not known who he finally .will line up for. The same is true also of Commissioner-elect Mann. The appointment can be made by three memDers of the Council. Many Persona Seek Place. All the new and old Commissioners are being besieged with applicants and job hunters. All say they are making no definite promises further than that they will give the applicants consider ation. .

City Engineer, City Attorney, City Health Officer, Chief of Police, Municipal Judge and many subordinate positions under ail of these officers. Contrary to the common understand ing, the positions of City Engineer, City Attorney, city Treasurer and Munici pal Judge are not vacated automatical ly and no reappointments are neces sary. The present incumbents hold of fice until removed by the Council. The removal must be for cause, which cause must be stated and the discharged of ficial given an opportunity to reply. The discharge, however, Is not review able. Mayor-elect Slake No Promise. There is great uneasiness at the City Hall among employes and officials who fear that their past behavior may not have been in accordance with what it might have been. They are spending considerable time wiping off large drops of perspiration and traveling from one office to another trying to get a line on what is coming. Mayor-elect Baker says he has no appointments to announce at this time. He says he has received a deluge of applications for positions and jobs, but has made no promises. He says he made no pre-election promises and In tends to act in all cases on what he considers for- the best Interests of the city service. DEATH LAID TO DOCTOR A.
