STAGE FOLK SURPRISED
Marriage at Astoria August 8 Kept
Secret to Prevent Hindrance
v
to Performer's Career. '
He wu dressed in the rough garb
of the woodsman. His hob-nailed
shoes clinked loudly on the pavement
along Burnside street as he ap
proached the Casino theater at Fourth
and Burnside. A group of theatrical
pictures in the lobby attracted his at
tention. He stopped to admire them.
"Say. she's sure some pretty doll,
ain't she?" he challenged as he fished
a quarter out of his pocket and en
tered. A momen later another pedestrian
approached. He. too, gazed longingly
at the pretty face in the lobby frame.
He was better dressed than the
woodsman but he was plainly not of
the city. He approached a theater at
tendant with halting tread and bash
ful countenance.
Magnate's Wife Chorus ;lrl.
"Is there any chance to get or buy
a pacture of this pretty girl?" he in
quired as the red surged into his
cheeks. But even though the right
was denied him to possess the attrac
tive picture -he passed on into the
theater.
Little did the husky wodsman or
the other one know that they were
seeking to worship at the shrine of
the wife of a motion picture magnate
Nor have any of the many patrons of
the little vaudeville theater down on
Burnside street know that the pretty
and vivacious member of the Casino
"baby doll" chorus, who invariably
won the loudest applause, was Mrs
Harley C Stevens, wife of the scion
of a wealthy family of Oregon pio
neers living at Oregon City and owner
o fthree Portland playhouses.
Mage folk Surprised.
But truth will out, and yesterday
Mr. Stevens reluctantly admitted tha
the pretty 20-year-old chorus girl is,
and for the past two months, has been
Mrs. Harley C. Stevens. To the
ratrons of the Casino theater she is
still Violet Woods, favored member of
the Casinn chorus, for her marriage
to the owner of the theater has not in
any way iterrupted her plans for a
stage career.
Not even the members of the Casino
musical comedy company knew yes
terday that pretty Violet Woods had
become the wife of the man who
countersigned the weekly pay-checks.
"Of course, we all had our suspic
ions, but it comes as a complete sur
prise to us all," said the folks on the
back-stage when informed just prior
to the performance yesterday after
noon that Violet Woods and Mrs.
Harley C. Stevens are one and the
tame person.
Couple Married at Astoria.
Mr. Stevens, after much question
ing, finally admitted that he and Miss
"Woods had gone to Astoria on August
8 where they were married by Rev.
R. F. Jameson. Immediately after the
ceremony they returned to Portland
where Mr. Stevens has since been en
grossed with the management of the
three theaters he controls, while Mrs.
Stevens has continued to win plaudits
as Violet Woods, of the "baby doll"
chorus.
Before her engagement at the Ca
cino, Miss Woods was a member of
the Armstrong Follies company, play
ing each season at the Oaks. Her I
maiden name was Janice Hollis and
this was the name she gave when
they procured the marriage license
at Astoria.
"We had intended to keep the mar
riage a secret indefinitely," Mr.
Stevens admitted yesterday. "We did
not in any way want to hinder Misa
Woods' future career."

BOISK, Idaho. Sept. 28. (Special.)
By selling 8221 acres of state school
lands in the Gem irrigation district in
Owyhee county, Idaho enriched its
treasury a grand total of J327.7S8. Of
this amount JUS. 000 will have to be
returned to the district to pay back
maintenance charges.
The sale was a record one for the
state and the largest in its history.
Behind it is a controversy that went
before the legislature and the su
preme court. When the irrigation
district was formed, the state land
was included in it. Assessments
were made against it for maintenance
of the district. These assessments
accumulated until the land board de
cided to square accounts by giving
the district the land in payment of
the maintenance charges.
The legislature three years ago
authorized the exchange. Opposition
arose to this, however, as it was
claimed the state could not so con
vey school lands and that if it did
so it would be a heavy loss to the
permanent school fund.
A friendly suit was insututeed be
fore the supreme court to determine
the validity. That tribunal held that
it was not legal; that the legislative
appropriation of $96,000 to enable the
district to buy the lands was not
proper. The state thereafter decided
to sell at public auction. Some of
the land brought as high as ?192 per
acre.

Orpbeum. .
PICKING the best act on the Or
pheum bill which opened yester
day's matinee is aa difficult a task
as telling which one of the allies won
the war or which player in a thrilling
extra-inning ball game deserves the
credit for the victory. The three acts
in big type all receive well-merited
applause as headliners. ' The other
turns on the bill are of the highest
quality and get enthusiastic recep
tions. As all three headline attractions
literally stopped the show, they may
as well be spoken of In the order of
their appearance. First there is Mrs.
Gene Hughes, an old and well-established
favorite in Portland. She ap
pears as the star in a capital skit por
traying the reception of a young avia
tor who returns from service In
France with a French bride. Mrs.
Hughes Is the lovable . and frisky
grandmother of the boy. sympathizing
with him and seeing the sunny side
of life.
Sybil Vane, a delightful little Welsh
girl with a pleasing voice and known
as "the Galli-Curcl of vaudeville," ap
pears in the old-fashioned hoop skirt
and pantalettes. She sang her way
right into the hearts of her audience
ana was iorcea to make a short cur
tain speech of thanks before she could
retire. Leon Domke, who has played
at the Orpheum here before, accom
panied Miss Vane on the piano and
gave an excellent solo.
In a lavish setting Amelia Stone
and Arman Kallz presented their de
lightful "Song Romance." Miss "tone
and her partner put their songs over
in a colorful way all their own.
"Sammy's Great Romance in France"
proved to be a medley of popular war
songs skillfully Interpreted In French
by Mr. Kallz. The "Romance of the
Little Band of Gold" was done in a
charming manner by the attractive
Amelia.
Harry Breen. the original "nut" and
rapid-fire song writer, keeps the
house rocking with laughter with his
specialty. Acts of the "nut" variety
come and go, but Breen goes on with
almost the same material he used
when he originated his successful
mixture of nonsense. His convulsing
funmaking is always a'n instantaneous
hit.
The seven Honey Boys close the bill
wlh a riotous minstrel show. The
boys all work in blackface and their
harmony is distinctly out of the ordi
nary. Maleta Bonconi. accompanied by
Harry Simpson on the piano, is a
gifted violinist. Jean Bell and Ollie
Wood open the bill with "Fads and
Fancies From Danceland." In which
they present dainty steps ranging
from toe dancing to the latest jazz.
"Topics of the Day." sparkling para
graphs from the Literary Digest, and
a Kinogram news film complete the
bill.
N. B. There will be no show on
Wednesday night.
Employment and Better Salaries
Paid in Other Lines of Work for
, Women Given as Cause.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 28. (Spe
cial.) Because of lack of teachers
261 schools are closed in Washington
shis year, according to a summary
made by Mrs. Josephine C. Preston,
state superintendent. The reason given
for this shortage is that better sala
ries are paid and there is plenty of
employment in every other line for
women.
The loss is felt almost entirely by
rural districts, and many of these
where schools remain open are get
ting along with untrained and inexpe
rienced teachers, who have failed in
examinations or are lately out of high
school. The state superintendent has
issued 170 emergency permits to al
low such applicants to take charge of
schools.
As now listed Asotin county lacks
8 teachers, Benton 13, Chelan 20. Clal
lam 10, Columbia 5, Cowlitz 7, Doug

Lenore Sullivan of Raymond, who left
her classes to testify in a divorce case
on Thursday when she could have
testified as well on Saturday, loses
her school under the ruling of the
state superintendent.
FOREST FIRE LOSS HEAVY
Area of 14 0,000 Acres in Washing
ton Burned Over in 1919.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Sept. 28. (Spe
cial.) The report of F. E. Pape, state
forester, for the forest fire season just
ending shows total loss or ?jj,uuu in
logging equipment and settlers' prop
ertv. killing or total destruction of
59.000.000 board feet of merchantable
timber and logs and a burned-over
area of 140,000 acres for the 1919
season.
The total expense of fighting fire
taxed to state associations and pri
vate individuals amounted to $260,000.
This figure is slightly in excess of the
cost of 1918, although 212,000 acres
were burned in that year. 180,200
board feet destroyed or killed and the
property loss total came to $405,000.
Later reports will increase this year's
total by about 12 per cent.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Sept. 28.
With the estimate of 14,000.000 worn
en coming into the. ballot before the
next presidential election, the execu
tive committee of the democratic na
tional committee devoted most of its
discussion to the best methods of
reaching the women voters. The com
mittee adjourned Saturday.
The plan proposed by A. F. Mullen
of Nebraska that a declaration be
made In favor of abolishing the two
thirds rule to nominate candidates in
presidential conventions and substi
tute the majority rule was not acted
upon.
Chairman Cummings announced
that the national committee would
meet some time in December to map
out plans for the presidential cam
paign. The meeting place will be
Washington or Atlantic City.
Affirmative decision was reached in
regard to the creation of two new di
visions of national campaign head
quarters. One probably will be lo
cated in Butte, Mont., and the other
in Wichita, Kan. After the election
one of these subdivisions is to be
moved to the Pacific coast.

Hippodrome.
VARIETY is the spice of life. The
bill at the Hippodrome this week
brims with variety. The headline of
fering is a strong dramatic playlet
called "The Frame Up." The play is
very ably presented by Dena Cooper
and company. The story concerns a
young woman who had been sent
up" on a charge of being a pick
pocket. On her release, after five
years' Imprisonment. her former
sweetheart, a detective, having grown
tired of her in the meantime, attempts
a frame-up against the girl and en
deavors to obtain . support of the
charge from a police captain whose
record had not been altogether clear.
How he is "frisked" by the girl of a
valuable letter which he had expected
to use as evidence and also of his
share of graft money forms an amus
ing and interesting climax. I
The photoplay offering is a big six- I
reeler In which Lena Keefe is starred, j
and is entitled "One Hour." It is the
story of a beautiful girl who had j
been raised in America but was a i
princess by birth. She is forced to j
give up her dream of love and go
back to her own country where a
marriage to "The Mad King" of one
of the adjoining countries is to take
place as the only means of saving her
people from ruin. How the king is
disposed of and the girl finds herself
free to marry the man she loves forms
an interesting story.
Knowies and Hurst, dubbed the long
nd short of vaudeville, are a diminu
tive girl and a tall, slender man, who
offer a line of amusing bickerings,
clever dancing and funny songs.
The Conlee sisters, two handsome
girls, are prettily costumed and make
a big hit singing "O Mammy Mine,"
"Auld Lang Syue" and "I Want a
Beautiful Doss." They are also
graceful dancers.
Lee Barth keeps his audience in an
uproar with stories told in dialect.
The one "Inventors and Great In
ventions," in which an Irishman, an
Italian, a Scotchman and an English
man voice their opinions, was espe
cially good.
Armand Wright and Ruby Karl pre
sent a series of dances along original
lines. Miss Earl is a dainty, appeal
ing, bit of femininity and performs
well with her equally attractive partner.
Stafford and Watte, the Algerian
duo, complete the vaudeville bill and
add a dash of pep with their soft
shoe dancing.
that the early government estimates
placing the Hood river valley crop
at 2.003.000 boxes will be realised.
This increase in tonnage has brought
about a recent new demand for boxes,
and the valley at present is short
close to 250.000. The supply, ship
pers say. has been contracted for.
and the demand will be met, if cars
can be secured to transport them
here.
The general harvest over the lower
valley will begin tomorrow. Hun
dreds of pickers arrived here yester
day and today. The Portland office
of the federal employment service
will open a free labor agency here at
once.
Growers of the Odell district,
alarmed over the situation, petitioned
the school board there to call a three

Lyric.
THERE'S many a slip in "Banana
Land." the colorful, tuneful at
traction that opened for a week's run
at the Lyric yesterday afternoon. The
tropical tang suggested by the title
recurs in costumes, music and com
edy, and the dialogue gives each
principal a full quota of laughs.
Somewhere on the south shore ot
one of the seven seas lies a land that
is fuller than Mexico of revolutiona
The revolutionary leader loves the
principal heiress, who must marry
a northerner to clinch her Inheri
tance. The manager who protects the
interests of the heiress is fearful of
his duplicity being discovered, and
the arrival of two northerners who
know his record increases the pos
sibility of trouble.
Will Rader, fairly exuding clever
ness as the unscrupulous manager,
plans a double-cross on both til
revolutionaray leader, played by Carl
ton Chase, and the heiress, Olive Fin
ney. His honeyed words easily In
duce the heiress' friend Amina. to
aid him in his scheme. But Mike
and Ike (Ben Dillon and Al Franks)
are more than he can handle.
"Will o" the Wisp." sung by Olive
Finney, is a pretty melody, and Miss
Finney s fine voice is splendidly sup
ported by the Rose Buds, who dis
play new dance steps and charming
costumes in this number. Rivaling
the "Will o" the Wisp" success is
"Dreamy Alabama," sung- hauntlngly
by Will Rader. Corine Ebert and
Delia Romig sing the encores prettily
and the Rose Buds contribute in the
ensembles. Billie Bingham sings a
pleading song "Gee, I Wish I Had
Someone to Rock Me" and Carlton
Chase sings a descriptive solo.
Madeline Mathews, always welcome
in the eccentric dances which she
does to perfection, sings a backwoods
song "On the Ozark Trail" and does
a hardbolled dance, and W. E. Crosby
sings "When It's Sunset in Sweden."
The opening number is a novel med

Fakirg endorsement by the agricul

of so-called "Egyptian" wheat during
the Oregon state fair at Salem. He
charged 50 cents a pound, it is said,

He is further reported to have
claimed that the original seed waa
obtained from O. A. C. This claim is
repudiated by Q. R. Hyslop, chief of
faim crops, who says that this type
of Poulard wheat was given a thor
ough trial on the experiment station
grounds and proved Inferior, both in
quality and yield to white winter
wheat.
The Oregon station and others have

these "wonder" wheats, and now ad
