LILLIAN FOSTER, who plays the role of "Blanny," the hair-brained wife, in "Fair and Warmer," who quotes her husband constantly (Blan ny's, not Lillian's the latter hasn't any), and who is bounded on the north south, east and west by her wedding ring and wears her submerged individ uality like the sandwich aign men so that all who run may read well, Lil lian Foster is all that in the play, but she Isn't anything like that herself. She likes men for dancing partners and to see that she gets to and from places, and to send her flowers and candy, and occasionally, she says, she runs across one of 'em who amuses her or interests her for a wee spell, but she says her wedding ring is going to stay right in its show . window, or Jeweler's box, or safety vault or wher ever they're keeping the one destined for Lillian Foster, until she has ca reered to her heart's content. That Career Serious Matter. Shes awfully in earnest about that career, and I think it's written in the cards for her. "I'm not going to pick up the papers next morning, sne said, "and see wee little picture of me and a great big picture of the man who weds me. with seven columns about him and one paragraph about me. It's not going to be a case of John Jones marries Lillian Foster. It's going to be Lillian Foster, tne weii-Known actress, etc.. etc., etc. Here follows all about my career, and then it mentions the man's name, and that I am going to continue right on with my career. So that is settled." I jotted it all down In my memory It sounds go nice and independent-like, doesn't it? That's one reason why 1 started this story with Lillian Foster's views. The other reason is because I'm going to save a copy of it and mall it to her one of these days, when I pick up a paper on the morning after and read where John Jones, soldier, etc., etc., etc., on the eve of his departure for France, married Lillian Foster and that the lady is going to retire forever from the footlights and go to Europe to do Red Cross work. Type Composite Peraoaallty Bright. She's very young and very, very pretty, a sort of composite in type of Elsie Ferguson, Martha Hedman and Mrs. Fiske. if you can imagine these totally dissimilar women melted into one sparkling personality. This is her first trip out to the Coast and she is making the most of it in every way, running around to see our shops and going for rides and walks to get a mental diagram of the cities. Yesterday she motored all over Fort land, with Mrs. Harry L. Hart, with whose brother-in-law. Alfred Cross, she played leads in stock in Kansas City last season. 6he Is a Kansas City girl, by the way, and the daughter of an Episco palian minister. She and "Auntie," who looks after her, live in New York City now. When they first went there it was for niece Lillian to take up esthetic dancing. She was to become another Pavlowa. But the dramatic stage lured her, and she listened and now she's glad she did. Chosen Field Inviting. I love to dance for the sake of dan cing.. It makes me very happy," she id. "but we can't all be Pavlowas or St. Denises, and I wouldn't be con tent to just be an "also ran," running a supper dance somewhere, or hostess ing on a roof garden.

BIG ENTERTAINMENT PLAN Lillian Foster, Who Haa Stellar Role la "Fair aad Warmer." you've got anything at all in your heart and head. Well, petite Miss Foster has plenty. and to spare, in her heart and head, and she's so sensible about everything. so practical and matter-of-fact that she's bound to get to the top and go over it with her fine ambitions. She was discussing "Blanny," the role she plays. "I put myself into that little addle- pated person's soul every time I play her," she told me. "Personally, I think that type of wife is going out of fashion if she ever was really fash ionable, save with the very tired busi ness men who do not want brainy wives, but prefer cuddly, kittenish, nobody-homes to divert their minds when the day's work is over. I try to picture the unsophisticated 'Blanny that Avery Hopwood created. She be lieves her husband when he tells her be goes to the Mystic Shrine and she prattles about it with artless sincerity. Part Played as Written. "So I play her that way, but I know that I wouldn't believe it and that I'd have Investigated the Mystic Shrine about the second time hubby sprung it. However, maybe it s just as well that all women haven't an investigat ing mind. ' Possibly It's true that Igno rance fetches bliss." Miss Foster said she knew a couple. married, and to each other in New York, who are perfectly happy. But she didn't give me their names, so I can't investigate the story. German Is Detained. Fred Kuhn. a German, who says he- is a logger, was detained by the Federal authorities yes terday for investigation. Upon apply ing at the United States' Marshal's office for a pass, permitting him within the one-half mile limit of the Armory, Kuhn was found to have on his person certificates of deposits from two local banks for 84000 and a bank book show ing deposits in a Canadian bank amounting to $1486. Kuhn asserted his loyalty to the United States, de nied the report that he was a member of the Industrial Workers of the world and insisted that the money represented his earnings In the logging camps of the Pacific Northwest during the last ten years. Serbs Assert Lotaltt. Officers of the Brotherhood of United Serbians, No. 114. Serbian Federation in this city. have forwarded to President Wilson letter assuring him that the members of this organization will do their utmost to aid their adopted country loyally and enthusiastically In the prosecution of the war. Although many Serbians here are still subjects of Austria-Hungary, they unhesitatingly declare themselves "enemies of the Austro-Hungarian absolutism, which rules by oppression and by every other form of Injustice and iniquity." The letter was signed by M. R. Mitrovlch, Nicholas Povanovich, Fin Sctcretari, Ulna Zupunsky and Mitchell Stranovlch. Watch Meeting Announced. A watch meeting will be held Monday night in Rodney-Avenue Christian Church under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor Society. An ex cellent programme will precede tha religious meeting.

Mayor Receives Word From Camp Lewis Commandant Tbat Soldiers Will Get Passes Public and Private IlooTns Are Listed. Although the transfer of the rail roads to Government control is said have knocked the special excursion train idea in the head, Portland will be host to a large number of troops from Camp Lewis and other points Sat urday night, Sunday and Monday night and Tuesday, according to information received yesterday by Mayor Baker. The Mayor telegraphed to Brigadier General Irons, commandant of the camp, regarding the leaves of absence for Saturday and New Year's day. The re ply was to the erfect that men may obtain passes from Saturday noon until 5:30 o'clock Monday morning and from 4 P. M. Monday until 6:30 A. M. Wednesday. All men must be in camp on Monday for the regular muster held the last day of each month. Both the O.-W. R. & N. and th Northern Pacific have regular trains leaving the camp each afternoon and arrangements have been made for add ing a sufficient amount of equlpraen to carry the soldiers. They may re turn to the camps on the regular trains leaving Portland at midnight. Inasmuch as the leave of absence to be granted the boys is cow certain plans have been started for a New Year's entertainment at the public Au ditorlum. The nature of this will be decided at meetings today. The affair probably will be similar to that at the Auditorium on Christmas day, when the soldiers were the guests of honor at big dance and theatrical programme. The committee of the War Emer gency Council,, designated for service in providing for the welfare of the vis iting soldiers and sailors, got its work well under way yesterday. Hotels and proper lodging-houses were listed and lists of private homes where the sol diers are welcome were started. Also the committee listed the restaurants and got. their price lists. In selecting the hotels and lodging-houses great care was taken in seeing that the men will not get into improper places. The prices to be charged by all these places were listed. It was found that the hotels and rooming-houses either fixed their rates for soldiers and sailors at the same figure as for all classes of persons or at less than the regular prices. None sought to raise rates. It is expected a large crowd of men will be in from Camp Lewis Saturday night on the train reaching here about 8 o'clock. The largest crowd Is ex pected on Monday, however. Large numbers of men are expected in both Saturday and Monday from Fort Stev ens. Fort Canby and Fort Columbia. Provision will be made for transpor tation from these points probably on regular trains. ZIIBIIIIIIIBIIIIIIIBIBIIBIIRaiKIIIIRkKK M BB l aaaaaai i i i " M HOLD-UP CASE IS CLEARING Third Man.
