IB MISLEADING WIDOW."
in which Billie Burke is star-
ring at the People's theater,
is a new play, despite the fact it is
taken from "Billeted," the post-war
comedy hiado famous by Margaret
Anglin.
It is an Americanized "Billeted." With
the Scene of action changed from an
Knglish village to a Boston suburb,
with the United States uniform re
placing the British and with ampli
fications such as could not be intro
duced on the legitimate stage, "The
Misleading Widow," is In many ways
an improvement on "Billeted."
Billie Burke is exceedingly attrac
tive as Mrs. Betty Taradine, the self
styled little widow who is an ideal
housekeeper save for the fact that
she cannot keep her bank balance
right nor her creditors happy. Miss
Burke is much like Miss Anglin, and
as a result "The Misleading Widow"
is a continual source of merriment.
Some of the quaint Knlish customs
are lost in the screen version of
"Billeted." On the other hand, a few
other delights such as an old-fashioned
rose garden are put in. 'The
methods of working up to the climax
are entirely different in the Billie
Burke production.

released as a photoplay.
A newspaper reporter Is the hero
of the story and the mystery sur
rounds the manner of escape of an
assassin from a room with only one
exit. The production was made by
Kmile Chautard. He has an interna
tional reputation as a director, hav

France. Since coming to the United
States Mr. Chautard has directed
Alice Brady, Elsie Ferguson. Kitty

For the first time, it is said. In the
history of photoplay, four books have
been purchased on which to base
the story for one picture. The "Anne"
books by L. M. Montgomery havfe
been bought to provide Mary Miles
Minter with a suitable story.
The four books are "Anne of Green
Gables," "Anne of Avonlea." "Chron
icles of Avonlea" and "Anne of the

be the title of the photoplay, and the
stories told in the series have been

Louise Glaum spent the week
end with her friend, Mrs. Charles
Chaplin, at Catalina island. Each
girl made a wager with th6 other
that the one catching the latgest
tuna fish had to pay the forfeit in
the largest box of candy they cohld
find at "Pig 'n Whistle." So down to
the beach they went. The girls sat
for several hours, patiently waiting
for a tuna to bite. After a while
Louise got a nibble. The fish began
to swim away, but also pulling off
the line. Both gi&ls, excited, called
to the old fisherman for help. All
three of them were pulling on first
one line, then the other, which ended
in the old fisherman landing a tuna
much larger and heavier than both
the girls. And to make a fitting cli
max, the tuna was on both lines.
Louise's hook had caught him, and
in his effort to get away he became
entangled in the line of Mildred's,
so they are still trying to find out
who has to pay the bet.
FIRE STIRS LEWISTDH
$25,000 BLAZE IS LAID TO
I'AXATICAIi FIREBUG.
Destruction of Woodmen's Home
Fifth Midnight Burning to Occur
Recently on Same Street.
LEWISTOX, Tdaho, Sept. 22. (Spe
cial.) The Woodmen's building, a
two-story brick structure owned by
the Woodmen's lodge here, was de
stroyed early this morning by a fire
seemingly of incendiary origin.
Firemen had been called to the same
building early in the evening to ex
tinguish a fire in the locker room on
the second floor, and after putting out
the blaze were unable to discover any
defective wiring that might have
caused the fire, so concluded the
blaze was not accidental.
Shortly after midnight firemen
again called to the building were un
able to check flames, which complete
ly gutted the building, causing a loss
of probably 125,000. Insurance is in
adequate to cover the loss. The lower
tloor of the building was occupied by
the Lewiston bottling works, a $4500
plant, which was much damaged by
water. The upper floor had been used
as lodge rooms by several Lewiston
lodges.
This fire, coming after four fires on
the same street, within a few weeks,
leads to the belief that a firebug is
at work. The previous fire, all of
which have broken out shortly after
midnight, have burned frame build
ings of less value in the same block.
Deep Indignation is aroused anion;
rttlzens, who believe a firebus of
fanatical type is at large.
the great stacks of lumber at the
plant of the Seattle Cedar Lumber
Manufacturing company in Ballard,
bring out the resourcefulness of one
man who was forced to become an
inventor when the government put
through the canal from Puget sound
to Lake union. The canal cut off 100
feet from the rear end of the lum
ber company's yard.
H. C. Hilke, general superintendent,
met the problem of storing an aver
age of 8.000,000 feet of finished prod
uct in half the space formerly al
lowed him. He thought it over and
invented a machine by which lur
ber piles grew in height from 16
to 40 feet, and to 50 feet in his
plant. Mr. Hilke invented a lumber
elevator.

SBATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 22. (Spe
cial.) Divorce cases in Seattle and
King county increased 32 per cent in
the first six months of 1919. as com
pared with the same period of 1S18,
according to Pierce Lonerpran. former
King county divorce proctor. Where
as, a few years back the divorce rate
was one divorce case to three mar
riages, it now is approximately- one
divorce case to every two marriages,
he said.
One hundred and twenty-nine less
marriages were recorded in the first
six months of 1910 than In th same
period in 1918. The divorce rate in
King county and Seattle ten years
ago was one divorce to 12 marriages.
"I believe that the fundamental
cause of the alarming increase in di
vorce is the exaggerated conception
of individual liberty, which ignores
the duties and responsibilities which
the individual owes to other mem
bers of the community," said Mr.
Loncrgan.
"Politically this is manifested in
the 1. W. W.. the 'red' socialists and
others who fail to recognize any re
sponsibility or standards other than
those set by the individual."

TACOMA. Wash.. Pept. 22. Rum
bles of a new rate war between Spo
kane and Tupet sound cities were
heard here today when the transpor
tion bureau of the Tacoma commer
cial club decided to intervene in the
reopening of the interniountain trans
continental freight tariffs.
Two years ago Spokane obtained
transcontinental rates equal to those
given Puget sound cities on the con
tention that the war had eliminated
the water competition and the sound
was therefore not entitled to lower
railroad rates.
Now another step has been taken, it
is reported here, to have the Spokane
rates reduced below those of Puget
sound cities on the basis that Spokane
is 3u0 miles closer to the east and
that water competition is still nonexistent.
