same category with many large organ
isations to promote the social welfare
before the war scarcely known to the
general public; then, through govern
ment recoa-nitlon. suddenly given a
measure of the public recognition
which they deserved. About the na-
tlonal board of review In particular
there has been for the most part either
lack of Information or a vast deal of
misinformation, because it performs its
work quietly, and the Idea has been
hard to grasp that such Important, dif
ficult and effective work could be ac
complished on a purely volunteer basis,
independently of any control by the
nlm Industry and without the authority
of law. Now. however, all those who
will may learn about the national board ,
' from its latest report, which recounts
not only the boards part in aiding the.
United States government, but tel s
briefly of its general functions, its phil
osophy and the growing Importance of
motion pictures In various phases of
our national life.
Norma TalmadKe's next picture will
be "The Way of a Woman." It will
follow Miss Talmadpe's latest and cur
rent attraction. "The New Moon,
which is now being distributed. "The
Way of a Woman." which was original
ly announced under the title of "Nancy
Lee." is adapted from Eugene Walters
well-known stage play of that name,
which was seen for two seasons at the
Hudson theater In New York.
In "The Way of a Woman" Miss Tal
madge will have one of the strongest
supporting casts announced this sea
son. Conway Tearle is cast In the
leading male role, while Hassard Short,
who Is playing with Fay Bainter in
"East Is West," has another Important
part. Another well-known member of
the company is Jobyna Howland. who
scored one of the season's biggest stage
successes in "The Little Journey." Miss
Howland will be remembered as the
original Gibson girl. She made her
first appearance on the screen with
Norma Talmadge In "Her Only Way.
' but since then has been seen in several
other popular productions. George La
Guerre has the role of the wild nephew
and Frank De Vernon will be seen as
the father. Gertrude Berkley, who
is known as the most lovable mother
on the screen, will be seen as the
mother of Nancy, the part played by
Norma Talmadge. Stuart Holmes and
Joe Humphrey are also In the com
pany. ,
Ethel Richie, who has been absent
from the screen for more than a year,
has been engaged to play an Important
feminine role in support of Mary Mac
Laren in "The Weaker Vessel." which
is being produced at Universal City un
der the direction of Paul Powell.
Gloria Hope, the Titian-haired beauty,
and Claire Anderson, the vivacious
brunette, who recently completed an
important role In support of Hedda
Nova in the "Spitfire of Seville." will
share honors as Harry Carey's leading
woman In his newest western produc
tion. "Jim of the Ranges." which Is
soon to be started by Director Jack
Ford at Universal City. Miss Hope
played opposite Carey In "The Outcast
of Poker Flat" and Miss Anderson
achieved fame in the role of the erring
wife in Monroe Salisbury's "The Blinding-
Trail."
"His Bridal Night." in which Alice
Frady is starred, is by Lawrence Irving
Rising. In this picture Miss Brady
plays a dual role, appearing as Tiny
and VI. twin sisters, who are alike as
two peas on the surface, but decidedly
different in nature. The story is a rol
licking farce and begins the night be
fore Vl's wedding. VI confides to Tiny
that she Is going out for one more
"lark" before her marriage, but Tiny
Interferes In the arrangement by keep
ing the appointment in her stead. The
result Is a general mlxup In twins,
which continues throughout the story.
Until the very end the bridegroom is
nrver certain which twin is actually
Ms wife, but the Inevitable unmasking
finally takes place and finds two happy

A Talk to Business Men
The trouble with the School business of Portland
is that it has outgrown the plant.
It needs enlarging, a condition that is encoun
tered by every expanding business. . '
The emergency the School District now faces is
one of providing more buildings to absorb the
increasing number of students.
As a Parent your problem is to see to it that your
child is given the right sort of surroundings
while in school, that its health is not injured, and
that it emerges from the Public Schools equipped
mentally and physically to take its place in the
world and discharge its duty to mankind.
Voting $2,500,000
Bonds
Will slightly increase your taxes, but the expen
diture of the money will provide against disease
from present overcrowding, and will GIVE
YOUR CHILD A BETTER CHANCE.
The debt of School District No. 1 is now very
small, probably lower than any other district of
its size in the United States. We owe a total of
only $793,500.
There has not been a new School building erected
in Portland since the year 1914.
During the years following; 1914 and up to 1917 the
city had a steady growth of population, the number of
children of school age just about equaling the existing
facilities for absorbing them into the schools. Since
1917 the city has enjoyed a phenomenal growth of
school population.
In the meantime the tax limitation law has been en
acted, and money needed for building new School
Houses to care for the children now housed in portable
shacks cannot be levied as a tax.
i.
You will vote on the bond issue that will provide these
necessary facilities, if the people approve the issue.
Please remember that there are now 9700 more stu
dents in the Public Schools of this city than the facili
ties were designed to accommodate.
Overcrowding of school rooms is a waste of time and
money. Teachers cannot efficiently instruct more than
SO students in a class. When there are more than 30
the students do not get personal attention and instruc
tion suited to their development. In Portland schools
there are dozens of rooms containing from 40 to 50
students.
Hundreds of them are caged up in flimsy shacks, known
as "Portables." These are cheap affairs, painted to
look as much like a real building as possible. They are
dangerous to the health of the students, and because of
the necessity of heating them with stoves there is
always a fire menace existing.
The Portables are a heavy and constant expense to
the district, but until new buildings can be provided
their use must be continued.
Voting the bonds will enable the School Board to be rid
of them very soon.
It should also be remembered that the existence of
Portables tends to decrease property values in the
neighborhood where they are used, and cheapen the
city in the eyes of prospective investors.
