CAMAS HOST TO HUNDREDS Genuine Labor Day Picnic at Cane man Park, Near Oregon City, At tended by Thousands, Street V Pageant Being Big Feature. In Portland and nearby points yes terday it was a red-letter day for the man of the dinner-pail; a day In which the hum-drum life of factory and office was encluded; a day of reo reation. rest and respite. No formal observance of Labor day was held in Portland, but the river resorts both up and down the Willam ette; the parks, the wooded hills and the several towns within, easy distance of Portland offered a variety of en tertainment which drew thousands of Portland people from their homes ere sun-up, and held them in complete en joyment until late at night. Oregon City Has Pageant. It was Labor day, to be sure, but through each and all of the various celebrations attended by Portland peo ple there ran a strain of patriotic en thusiasm which made it a day of dou ble Interest and value. The hundreds of people, leg-weary but happy, who returned last night on the string of cars every few min utes from Oregon City, brought back a report of a genuine Labor day pic nic attended by many labor union men of Portland and their families. The celebration in Canemah Park was de voted to a patriotic as well as a labor programme. The mighty street pageant In the morning was a big feature of the celebration. Out at Columbia Beach lunch space for countless families was at a pre mium during the middle of the day. All of the attractions of this new and popular resort were taxed to their utmost all day and evening, and it eemed as though all laboring men of Portland were there for a part of the day at least. Oaks Presents MardI Gnu. Manager Cardray, of the Oaks, ful filled the expectations of several thou sand people by staging & Labor day programme of more than usual class. The entertainment was on the order of the famous New Orleans MardI Gras and many novel costumes were worn by men and women merry-makers. Another favorite place arranged for the Labor day crowds by the Central Labor Council was at Camas. Wash., where an extensive entertainment was held under the auspices of the paper mill employes. Those returning by trains and boats last night were unan imous In the declarat' n that the peo ple of Camas are hosts of the highest magnitude. Speeches, games, races and other popular forms of holiday amuse ments made it a real day of real en joyment. Special Train Was Gift. Of the serol-public entertainments there was none perhaps more enjoya ble than that glen at Crystal Lake Park for the employes of the Union Meat Company and their families some 1500 In number. A special train, leaving the city at 9 A. M., bore this happy family to the picnic ground and brought them back at 6 o'clock. The special train was the Labor day gift of the management to the employes. During the afternoon a wide variety of events for men, women and chil dren were staged and serviceable prizes were given to the winners of each event. The usual holiday crowd at Council Crest was augmented by the members and friends of St. Stanislaus Church, who held their annual Labor day plc nlo at this popular West Side park. Those who desired to spend the day quietly on the river took advantage of the excursion on the barge Swan, under the auspices of Lt. Patrick's Church. Numerous other Labor day entertain ments and picnics were participated In by Portland people. Business life was at a standstill throughout the Way, and thousands of men enjoyed rest and recreation with their families. Detectives of Mt. Cory, O., are look ing for large footprints. Burglars en tered a store there and stole nothing but No. 11 shoes.

Majestic B r y a n t Washburn, "Skinner's Baby." Sunset Fannie Ward and Sessue Hayakawa, "The Cheat." Liberty George M. Cohan, "Sev en Keys to Baldpate." Columbia Enid Bennett. "They're Off." Peoples Douglas Fairbanks, "Down to Earth." Circle "Do Children Count?" HERE are two angles to "slavery." First as the actor sees it: The Movie Manufacturer sits upon a rold chair studed with black diamonds, smoking a clear of super-tobacco. ' Trot 'em out," he yells, and his fins master cracks a long whip. Proudly the leading horse enters the rlnss, full of the fire of life, stepping high. "Too heavy; looks like a truck horse. Cut down his feed and work him harder." A peppery little filly followed, mincing and playing at being bad-tempered. "That what comes from giving era oats, the Movie Manufacturer mused. "Cut out the white lights, Lizzie, or its' back te the old farm wagon for yours." so through the whole string. No one was right. Any exeuse was good enough for a cut down In rations. It was oughtright slavery. Then as the manufacturer sees it: Night and day, week after week, without rest, the Hard Worker toiled and, tolled. accumulating a little wealth here and there, and then spending it again. Then the pirates descended upon him. Both sexes were represented. They bound and gagged him, and held a council. "Shall we kill him or only rob him?" asked the leading pirate. "Mercy, don't kill him: If we did we couldn't rob him. next sear," shrilled a vamplrate. So they took all the Hard Worker's wealth, calling It "salary," and left him to begin all over again. The Hard Worker cogitated, whether or not to go out of business. "Oh, well, once a slave, always a slave," he mused, and returned to his toll. Cohan Play a Novelty. "It Is a photoplay within a nhotonlav. within a photoplay, with characters In each seaparate photoplay laughing at those In all the other photoplays." Such was the description of George M. Cohan's second Artcraft picture, "Seven Keys to Baldpate," given recently at an advance show ngr by a well-known critic. George M.s new film is a revelation in film plots, and offers to the Bcreen something entirely different from any thing ever enacted before the camera. Heralded as a "mystery farce," the pic ture keeps the audience guessing until the end and then leaves It laughing at itself. On the stage this play defied the opinions of all critics and scored one of the most emphatic hits of the theater. The film was staged under the direc tion of Hugh Ford, and among the well-known players In the cast are Anna Q. Nilson, Mrs. De Wolfe Hopper, Joseph Smiley, Russell Bassett and others of equal popularity, eome of whom appeared In the original play. "Doug's" Picture Expensive. To the beautiful yacht appearing in the new Douglas Fairbanks A.rtcraft picture, "Down to Earth," there hangs a tale which is Indexed on the pro ducer's expense account. Several days after the yacht was used for the new picture Douglas received a bill from its owner for $12,000 to cover damages incurred while producing eome fire scenes which were staged on board. Upon investigation it was found that one of the property men unconsciously left a burning smoke pot in the boat over night, destroying the entire In terior decoration and burning several large holes Just where they were most harmful. Even aside from this item, "Down to Earth" is the most expensive production in which Douglas Fairbanks has ever appeared, which fact will prove apparent when the picture is seen. Screen Gossip.
