The Invasion of the Lask Company
marks the culmination of a persistent
struggle on the part of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce to obtain recog
nition of Oregon as a point for motion
picture production. For the first time
the Columbia River Highway is to be
shown In a photodrama having a
world-wide distribution.
"This is a great life, I never want
anything better," was the Joyous com
ment of Julian Bltlnge, after he had
traversed the. gangplank, greeted rep
resentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce, shaken hands with. Manager
Cloutier, of the Multnomah Hotel, and
Manager Melghan, of the Peoples The
ater. ETltlngre to Stick to Pictures.
"I only signed up 'for three pictures,
but you can say for me that I am a
motion picture player hereafter. I'm
going to make more pictures, and, while
I've been approached many times to
organize a company of my own, I prob
ably will remain with Lasky. His
high artistic standards appeal particu
larly to me."
Mr. Eltinge was at the Heillg The
ater last March in "Cousin Lucy." Be
fore that he was twice in Portland in
"The Fascinating Widow," and once
with Harry Lauder. He has not de
serted the footlights, however, for he
will make two personal appearances
at the Peoples-Theater tonight, at 8 and
9:30 o'clock. His photoplays later will
be seen at that theater.
Director la Veteran.
Director Donald Crisp, who Is In
charge of the , company. Is a veteran
of the drama. He was last in Portland
about six years ago with George M.
Cohan, in "The Yankee Prince." He
left the stage for the silent drama a
few years ago, becoming a member of
the D. W. Griffith forces. Following
the filming of "The Birth of a Nation,"
in which he directed the big battle
scenes, and the making of "Ramona"
and "The Eyes of the World," the
Clune productions, Mr. Crisp joined
Jesse Lasky. He deserted George
Beban to take charge of Eltlnge for
the making of "The Countess Charm
ing," in which the female impersonator
makes his screen debut
"We may have to come back to Port
land right away to finish the picture,"
said Mr. Crisp, as he bemoaned ad
verse weather conditions" that robbed
him of an opportunity to take 46
scenes scheduled for San Francisco
Bay and the ocean. "We had .a heavy
fog all Ve way up, and the best I
could do vwas to take five scenes on
the Columbia. Then we ran into the
haze of a forest fire and the cameras
had to be packed away again. I
planned to take 186 scenes on the trip."
A number of well-known players are
with Eltinge. H. B. Carpenter. Ernest
Joy, Noah Beery, Fred Church, Miss
Daisy Robinson. Miss Marie Stark,
Mme. Rosita Marstlni, Miss Camilla

Portland Students at Summer Course Exhibit Work Accomplished With
Aid of Clothes Wringer and Ordinary Floor Linoleum.
LINES and spaces, rhythm and color
tone, abetted by ordinary floor lin
oleum and a clothes wringer, are the
materials and Implements of funda
mental training in modern art.
If the curious will but step within
the portals of the Art Museum, at
Fifth and Taylor streets, either this
afternoon or Thursday afternoon, they
will witness the esthetio clothes
wringer busy at art-craft. More than
that, they will marvel and admire the
variety of ' artistic conceptions .that
adorn the exhibit walls.
The art exhibit, which opened yes-J
terday afternoon. Is tbat of students of
the Summer courses conducted by Ar
thur Wesley Dow; professor of fine arts
at Columbia University, New lork.
The pupils numbered 07. and the course
closed on . Friday last. There is no
lack of apparent talent, or for the
nearer approach to genius, in the mul
tiplicity of strange and graceful de
signs wrought by the class.
Drawlnsja Are Varied.
The first glimpse of the exhibit is
bewildering. Row after row the draw
ings hang, intricate Jn conception;
splotched with gay colors or wrought
In monotones of gray and black. And
then, before one Is aware, or the tol
erant smile has faded, there rise from
that chaotic and seeming Jumble of ar
tistic expression certain familiar
mountains and the tall firs of Oregon.
"We begin with lines And rhythm
and spaces." Professor Dow is mildly
asserting. "And these before us are
designs for borders and for rugs. Stu
dents were asked to choose as a sub
ject something they had experienced.
And here you see Mount Hood, and
there a waterfall.. " And this one
thought of a little, house with trees
around it."
Having mastered these essentials the
course turned to arrangements of dark
and light, which admit of several adap
tations of the one design. Again they
carried memory with them as a men
tor. Mount Adams and Mount Hood,
the long curves of the Columbia High
way, the wayside trees made near in
black and white.
And on another panel- art had pro
gressed to an appreciation of the tone
of gray, so that the -strong silhouettes
were softened and relieved by back
grounds of twilight or gathering storm
Just as you chose to fancy.' And the
shadows of that application" were in a
room at 'home, with pictures on the
walls. Portland lay swathed In Win
ter twilight. "A vista, rock-framed,
disclosed Mount St.' Helens with her
bonnet of snows..
Artistic Expression Liberal.
-And here." Professor Dow continues,
pausing before a panel of "tjueerly dis
porting lines and hues, '"we have a
number of original deslgns'taken from
the locality, as the Indian custom was.
For example. North is the Columbia,
South is Crater Lake. East is Mount
Hood, and -West Is th Pacific. Each

of these designs Is presumed to bear
one of the symbols. "
To the eye of the tyro the panel
seems a free-hand interpretation of
Navajo blanket patchwork, with inter
polations of Peruvian pottery. Pro-
lessor Dow surveys the field of free
artistic expression with mingled pride
and puzzlement.
"This bears the ocean design." he ad
vances, gaining In assurance. "Observe
the symbol for. water." The conven
tional waves of schoolday artistry were
plainly recognizable, serrated and curv
ing. "But this one," the professor fal
ters, "I confess I cannot name Just
now. I think they said it was Crater
Lake."
"Ah, yes; symbolism," bubbled the
girl In gray. "It's awfully interesting.
One gets merely the suggestion a hint
of the artist's conoeption. The sym
bol, watr, for instance."
Dealgma Made Useful.
The symbolistic designs, copied and
engraved on pine blocks and printed
on paper with an Ink of mixed muscll-.
age and dry color, make handsome and
unique book decorations when repeated
in a solid end-page, or used as borders.
Again, they are pressed Into service
for the decoration of gift boxes, and
the cracker container that has been so
ministered to becomes an object of
beauty. At the exhibit there are num
erous Instances of such application. The
designs are also stamped on cloth with
oil paints.
The poster and postcard designs, col
orful and attractive, are notable in the
collection. For themes the students
have chosen their own Oregon, patriot'
Ism and certain holidays. "Help Feed
Our Army," "Save, So Serve,". "Preserve
Our Forests," are captions to several
of these admirable and truly artistic
drawings, or prints.
It is at the postcard' Juncture that the
household gods of linoleum and clothes
wringer enter the school of art. Upon
linoleum is traced and engraved the
postcard design. later to be Judicious
ly plied with printers' ink and sent
through the squeaking wringer. Forth
comes a print In black and white, im
peccable and smudgeless. These are
enhanced by hand-coloring.
Students of the course are consider
ing -the printing of large numbers of
these attractive cards, which will be
sold for the benefit of the Red Cross.
The course closed Friday.- Professor
i)ow is: soon to leave, visiting Crater
Lake, fond theme, of many of his pu
pils, and determining . for himself the
aptness or at least one" colored riddle.
He will continue his return to the East
via the Southern route, frequently en
countering the leaping counterpart of
the -symbol "water." and at Intervals
descrying the majestic original of the
symbol "mountain."
Professor Dow believes that the
course should be continued, although It
is improbable that he will return. He
characterizes It as extremely success
. f ul, and trusts that it may prove the

first step toward many artistic careers,
for which it has fitted students of
talent.
It is possible that Miss Helen Put

Art Museum, may carry on the course
next year, aided by Miss Anna B. Crock
er, director of the institution.
