hospitality of Western Washington
Towns Appreciated Portland's
Delegation largest at In
terstate Session.
Expressions of gratitude for the
plrlt of cordial hospitality, which ap
pears to permeate the Crays Harbor
community surrounding the cities of Ab
erdeen and Hoquiam. "Wash.. were
voiced yesterday by the w.mbers of the
Portland delegation at last week's in
terstate realty convention on Grays
Harbor. Nearly 100 of the 150 or more
Portlanders who attended the conven
tion sessions home late Saturday night.
Incidentally the returning realtors
report that the citizens of Grays Har
bor have a warm spot In their hearts
for Portland and for Oregon. Portland
contributed between 125 and 150 to the
convention's attendance, as compared
With about a dozen from Seattle and
less than a half dozen from Tacoma.
Not only that, but Oregon's Governor,
James Withycombe, Portland's Mayor,
George I. Baker, and one of the Port
land Commissioners, John M. Mann, at
tended the convention and each of them
created a most favorable impression.
Baker's Speech Applauded".
- It will probably be a long time be
fore the business men of Grays Harbor
eease to express appreciation for the
antl-I. W. W". speech delivered by
Mayor Baker at the convention ban
quet Friday. Mayor Baker received a
tremendous ovation when he was in
troduced and, after he had paid his re
spects to the men "without country,
honor or flag," the cheers were deafen
ing. For some weeks many lumber mills
end shipbuilding plants of the Grays
Harbor district have been closed down
through the efforts and threats of the
J. W. W. element, who have centered
their forces in that vicinity. In view
of this situation, the arrival of Port
land's Mayor was anticipated by both
elements. It is said upon good author
ity that a number of I. W. Ws. were
lurking around the banquet hall on the
sight of Mayor Baker's speech and that
officers were placed on guard to avoid
rouble.
Mayor Baker appealed for the exter
mination of the spirit which Ignores
the flag, and of the shiftless men who
have been calling our soldiers "scabs."
I. TV. W. "Too Mean to Live."
"When these men say 'to hell with
the Government.' we ought to tell them
to go to hell and to get out of this
country if they don't like it," declared
Mayor Baker at the climax of his
speech. At the close of the banquet,
following a speech from City Commis
sioner Mann, Mayor Baker suggested
the singing of America and the ban
cruet audience of about 450 followed his
lead with keen enthusiasm.
But Mayor Baker was not the only
banquet speaker who had the courage
to condemn' the I. W. Ws. in their
their own stronghold. Thomas M.
Vance, of Olympia, before paying his
compliments to the slacker, held the I.
W. W. element forth to ridicule.
- Referring to the L W. W. as a viper,
he admonished Americans to "kill their
own snakes first." He styled the I. W.
Ws. as "too mean to live and unfit to
flie."
Mayors Hold Conference.
During hl3 stay in Hoquiam. Mayor
Baker was the guest of the local
Mayor, J. 8. McKee, and though neither
Mayor Baker nor Mayor McKee would
comment on the nature of their con
ference, it is understood that they dis
cussed the L W. W. menace thoroughly.
Some of the returning Portland re
lators point to the fact that several
X W. W.s. were arrested in Hoquiam
on the morning following the stirring
banquet talks of Mayor Baker and
Mr. Vance.
-The badges worn by the Portland
realtors at the realty convention had
the American flaer of red. whitn .nrf
blue for a background and a number of
tne Portlanders report that they were
eyed rather closelv by the I. W. W
element wherever they went about the
xwo urays Haroor cities.

THE DARLING OB" PARIS," a
photoplay adaptatl on of the
Victor Hugo story, "The Hunch
back of Notre Dame," furnishes Theda
Bara with a film vehicle that will com
mend her to her thousands of admirers.
She'B not a vampire this time, a sinuous
creature who languorously, or tlgeishly,
moves her way through a sea of crime
and broken hearts, but a happy, care
free and loving girl of the Paris streets,
the idol of the Apaches and the Pari
sian hoi pollol.
The picture has a spectacular as well
as dramatic Interest, for there are
numerous street scenes first of fes
tivals, then of riots, with a battle in
and around a huge cathedral. Glen
White, Walter Law, Herbert Heyes and
John Webb Dillon are the principal sup
porting players in this William Fox
production.
Miss Bara is Esmeralda, a gypsy girl
who is taken by her mother to Paris.
She. is stolen by the Apaches and grows
up among the thieves of the Paris
underworld. She becomes a popular
dancer and is in great demand at all
festive gatherings. She attracts the
attention of a scientist, a member of
the aristocracy, and he covets her.
However, she defies him. for she Is in
love with an army officer. Captain
Phoebus. However, the scientist kills
her captain and then threatens to send
her to the scaffold for the crime un-
lesss she yields to his demands. She
refuses him, and the girl is charged
with the murder and placed in a cell.
The bellrlnger of the cathedral, who
knows the secret of the murder, be
comes the girl's protector. She takes
refuge in the church and hides In the
belfry. The scientist leads men on the
hunt for the escaped prisoner, meets
the bellrlnger and is killed in the
struggle that ensues. The girl is led
to the scaffold, but saved by the evi
dence submitted by the bellrlnger, who

"Souls In Pawn" Is a thrilling- spy
drama, the most thoroughly entertain
ing in which Gall Kane ever has been
featured In the "flickers." The prouc

one which wonderfully will Increase
Miss Kane's following. A purely local

of Saturday's Columbia Beach bathing
girls' promenade. "Lonesome Luke.
Messenger." is another one of those
nonsensical but laughable Rolin come
dies featuring Harold Lloyd and Bebe
Daniels.
"Souls In Pawn" la a melodrama of
the deepest dye, with plots within plots,
intrigues, spies, war and thrills from
beginning to end. It's a story with a
strong plot, and as such Is a welcome
relief from the myriad of flve-reelers
which have little or no plot and depend
almost entirely upon the star to "put

Here's the unusual story of the photo
play: prince Kondemarck (Douglas
MacLean), chief of the German secret
service in Paris, is ordered to secure
the cleverest and most beautiful
woman possible to aid his eovernment.
Llano Dore (Miss Kane), widow of
Sebastian Dore, killed mysteriously at
the door of his home, agrees to aid
Kondemarck if he will tell her one year
later the name of the man who killed
her husband. The Prince really killed
uore in a scuffle when the former ac
cused the latter of betraying his sister.
During their work as spies Liane and
Konaemarck rail in love.
The war comes and Liane throws her
home open to wounded Frenchmen.
Von Pollnitz, unsuccessful in inducing
Liane to reveal French secrets during
the absence of Kondemarck, denounces
her as a spy and she is sentenced to
death. Kondemarck returns and ef
fects her rescue after she had agreed
to betray him to the police, who have
intormed her or Kondemarck's guilt

Majestio

The story is not unusual and is of
the eternal triangle variety. The noble

dishonest man; his ruin on the
stock marget and final suicide and the
girl's return to the honorable man,
wherein happiness is gained. However,
there is a genuine heart appeal and in
terest sustained to the last.
The cast is an exceptional one. Gladys
Brockwell heads the company, and as
Lorrie lives up to a reputation she has
gained as an emotional actress. Jewel,
Carmen, the blonde who has been seen
in several William Farnum pictures of
late, reaches the high-water mark of
her career in the role of Rose Delvine.
Charles Clary, Bertram Grassby, Jo
seph Swickard and Willard Louis are
others in the company.
The story opens with Marc Patton,
wealthy stockbroker, and Richard Hal

Lorrie Hollis. Hallem is accepted. Lat
er he loses a large sum of money spec
ulating with his employer's funds. In
order to regain the money, Hallem asks
his wife to seek aid from Patton on the

Hearst-Pathe News and comedy round
out the bill.
Columbia.
Dainty little Marguerite Clark, the
elfish lass associated with fairy tales,
little princes, make-believe girls and
other favorite characters of childhood,
goes after "Doug" Fairbanks' laurels In
her latest photoplay, "The Amazons,"
a plcturlsatlon of the Sir Arthur Wing
Pinero play. The diminutive star dons
men's trousers, a pair of boxing gloves,
climbs trees, uses a rope to scale walls
and otherwise deports herself as an
advocate of the strenuous life. "She
Needed a Doctor," a Keystone comedy
featuring Polly Moran, is the slapstick
contribution to the bill.
Miss Clark's latest characterization
is one that will make a big hit with
her many followers. She's cast in the
role of Tommy, who, with Willie and
Noel, are daughters of the Marchioness
of Castlejordan. The three are huge dis
appointments to the Marchioness and
her husband, who long' for strapping
boys to ride with them behind the
hounds and perpetuate the family name.
To offset the disappointment, the
Marchioness, whose husband dies dur
ing the childhood of the girls, brings
the three up as nearly in the manner of
sons as possible, much to the scandal-
ization of the villagers. They wear
boys' clothes about town and, when
Tommy, the most hoydenish, is Invited
to visit London relatives, she leaves
with many a pang of regret. In fact,
on one visit she smuggles In a dress

liberty.
The First National Exhibitor's Cir
cuit made a happy selection of photo
plays when it chose "On Trial," the Es-
sanay picturization of the Lonan &
Harris dramatic success, for Its initial
picture. It's a powerful production, al
most overwhelmingly so at times, and
has been presented with an intensity
of suspense that does not break until
the final reel.
The base of the action is the court
room, a familiar locale for patrons of
the silent drama, but the manner In
which suspense has been maintained,
with no complete letup of the tension
until the last few feet, make the trial
one the average spectator long will
remember.
The picture was directed by James
Toung, husband of Clara Kimball
Toung, and he occupies a prominent
place in the cast. Sidney Ainsworth,
Barbara Castleton, little Mary McAl
lister, and Patrick Calhoun are the
leading members of the company.'
The self-confessed murderer of Trask
(James Toung). Strickland (Sidney
Ainsworth), cares little about defend
ing himself. His attorney, first by
cross-examination of Strickland's
daughter, Doris (Mary McAllister),
brings out the suggestion of an affair
between Trask and Mrs. Strickland
(Miss Castleton, and )second. in ex
amining Mrs. Strickland brings to light
the fact that years before Trask took
advantage of her innocence. This Is
sufficient to call for a verdict of not
guilty from 11 of the Jurors, the 12th
man holding out because money dis
appeared from Trask's safe on the
night of the murder, and, with all evi
dence with the exception of the stories
of Mrs. Strickland and Doris pointing
to Strickland as both a thief and a
murderer, he still believes the prisoner
guilty.
However, Glover (Patrick Calhoun),
re-examined, brer.ks down and confes
ses to the robbery, thus paving the
way for the acqultal of Strickland.
"Safety First." a hilarious Metro
comedy, with Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Drew, is another Interesting pro
gramme - number.

The story Itself is Just a variation
of the much-used plot of the prim Nev
England girl who goes "West, meets a
bold, bad bandit and reforms him. It
is founded on the solid premise that
New England civilization and morality
can conquer any brand of lawlessness
The heroine, forced to adopt a strange
bandit as her uncle and share his cabin
doesn't allow the difficult situation to
disturb her Massachusetts sense of
seemllness. In the rude life of the
goldfield camp she insists on a white
tablecloth at dinner, clean hands and
grace before meals; and she bring:
the bandit around to her way of living.
As in all Mary Pickford production,
there is a well-defined sympathy cen
ter. Cast the slightest shadow of mis
fortune over the heroine and you
plunge the audience into tears. To
ward the end there is a very well
maintained stretch of suspense. Tht
bandit is about to be hung for rob
bing the overland stage when the girl
sees a desperate chance of saving him.
Tearing the clothes off her rag doll,
she burst upon the scene of execution
waving them in the air. The tiny gar
ments have the desired effect. The vig
ilance committee havn't the slightest
compunction about hanging a ma'n, but
they can't think of being barbarous
enough to murder a father. So they
spare the bandit's life, marry htm to
the girl and turn him over to her to
reform. Just as the couple have ridden
away the foiled executioners discover
the denuded doll and see through the
trick that has been played upon them.
The situation Is amusingly handled.
