MOVIES ARE CLEAN,
Will. HILL DECLARES
Film Branch Manager Says
His Stand Backed by Women.
CLUB ATTACK REGRETTED
Failure of Portland to Abide bj
Rational Board's Keview Said
to Cost City Thousands.
Support of Portland motion picture
houses and indorsement of their pro
grammes as both clean and educa
tional was made yesterday by C. M.
Hill, branch manager of the Famous
Players-Lasky corporation, in re
sponse to the indorsement of the cen
soring: of motion pictures by the city
clubwomen.
"Mrs. CJ. J. Frankel represented to
the clubwomen of Portland that I
spoke at the Columbia theater against
the local board of censorship," said Mr.
Hill. "This statement is without
foundation. In this connection Mrs.
Frankel has poked fun at my pro
nunciation of the word 'lingerie.' As
a matter of fact, I don't know
whether or not 1 have the correct
pronunciation, but I do know that
Mrs. Frankel has never heard me talk
in any theater in the city of Portland,
much less the Columbia theater, or
on such a subject as lingerie.
"As proof that all of the club
women in Portland are not in favor of
the action of Mrs. Frankel, I have
had a large number of phone calls
from influential and cultured women
active in civic affairs indorsing my
stand. I regret very much that Mrs.
Frankel has seen fit to make her
personal attack against me in this
matter, as It is involving a large
number of persons not concerned.
Clean Picture Favored.
"Mr. Raleigh. manager of the
Columbia theater, has always been
and still is in favor of clean motion
pictures. It has been the policy of
Paramount pictures as distributed by
Famous Players to the Columbia
theater and the other larger Portland
houses to live up to its motto, which
is 'Clean motion picUires superbly di
rected.' "The public, not conversant with
the yoke of local consorshlp under
which the exchanges have been bur
dened for the past several years, is
judging in this case without know
ing all of the facts.
"A comparatively small number of
persons in Portland realizes that all
pictures before arriving in Port
land are reviewed and passed
by the national board of review,
consisting of approximately 300 mem
bers picked from various stations in
life. In any question arising by the
national viewers the majority of this
large board dictates. This board
numbers in its membership such!
prominent persons as Protestant and I
- Catholic bishops, world famous social
service workers and men and women
whose opinion cannot be swayed by
money nor political ambitions.
National Board Competent.
" "There are some persons who can
" see bad in the sweetest story ever
known. The persons on the national
board are certainly competent to
judge good from bad. All I ask, or
all any other motion picture, man
asks, is that their instructions be car
ried out in both letter and spirit and
.".that films be shown in accordance
-.. with the rulings of the national board
of review.
jj '"Strict censorship has cost the city
. of Portland thousands of dollars In
2J the past five years. Back in 1914
there were several exchanges operat
" ing here and releasing films to the
Oregon, Washington and Idaho terri
tory. Today there are but four ex
changes in Portland, of which the
Famous Players is spending approxi
mately $100,000 a year. At the same
time there are In Seattle 16 exchanges
most of which release to all of Ore
gon, & territory which rightfully be
longs to Portland.
Portland Logical Center.
"Portland is so geographically sit
uated that it is better able to handle
this business than Seattle, and Port
land might enjoy at least 11,000,000
annually In revenue which it is not
getting at the present time. The
getting of this industry and keep
, ing it here I believe to be in accord
J1 with the policy of the Chamber of
Commerce's associated industries. The
r Chamber of Commerce, however, can
't not possibly help the situation as long
"! as the local censor has absolute sway.

dictates by the national board of re-
w view. Big- producing companies pre
fer to go to extra expense and re-
lease their products through cities
in which they know films will be

land are big enough and broad
enough to hold their own in the busi

motion pictures in a sane, sensible

NEW BILLS AT
Alcazar.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
NOT more than the proverbial
handful of spectators added
themselves last night to the regular
established old guard that has been
faithful In attending opening nights
at the Alcazar theater. The regular
Monday night d'evotees were there,
and a few more.
The bill is one of the best in light
operas, the company remains un
changed save for the absence of
Henry Coote and the placing of
George Natanson in the leading male
role, and heaven knows the prices
are reasonable.
Before a discussion of the produc
tion is taken up, possibly a comment
from Manager C- V. Everett may tuck
in nicely at this point.
'I have attended dozens of get-to
gether meetings held in protest at
our decision to close the company
and end the Alcazar musical stock.
At every meeting I have heard splen
did speeches made by representative
citizens, protesting that an enterprise'
like the musical stock must not be
allowed to close. Enthusiastic word
of mouth support has been given; men
have come to the box office and have
called be up assuring me that Port
land will never let it be said that
she cannot maintain one theater for
n entire week at a time. I have
listened and believed. For 31 weeks
we kept going, supported by a loyal
few, and out of the 31 weeks we had
four weeks when we broke even. I
was going out of the business and
back into the real estate and broker
age business when groups of citizens,
committees from clubs and civic
bodies flocked to protest. They said
they wanted us to go on, that they
would buy subscription seats and lend
actual support. It has -mostly been
conversation.
A few subscriptions have been
made, but here is an amusing thing,
they have been made by the loyal and
undiscouraged supporters, the faith
ful few who have supported us, any
way, during the season.
"I have rented the theater for an
other month, have re-hired and reor
ganized the company, wired to New
Tork for more productions and to San
Francisco for costumes, given orders
and contracts to the scenic artists,
re-engaged musicians, and here's the
result. Not more than two dozen oth
er than tle regular Monday night
regulars are here. The seat sale for
the entire week is not heavy."
Suggestion was made that pos
sibly some of the promises had not
been redeemed this week because
the bill was a repeater. "Flora
Bella." the offering, was given
earlier in the season, and when
the company closed a fortnight ago
the next play in proiect, "The Fire
fly." was- returned. It could not be
gotten liere in time for the re-opening,
so Flora Bella" was substituted.
Mr. Everett declined to believe the
small attendance was due to a re
peating of "Flora Bella." That was
one of the weeks when only the few
and faithful were in attendance, and
there are enough members of com
mitees who have waited on me to
encourage and promise support, who
have never been inside the theater
and never Baw 'Flora Bella' or any
other of our shows."
"Flora Bella" is an operetta in
three acts, a charming, ultra modern
and thoroughly interesting piece. The
musical score, by Cuvillier. is posi
tively distinguished. Some of the
melodies are fascinating and all of
them are delightful. Cosrn Hamilton
revised and adapted the book and it
is frankly a smart French farce pet
to music. Furthermore, it Is de
lightfully sung and played.
Mabel Wilber. in the title role, is
captivating, singing in exquisite tone
and playing with artistic ardor.
George-Natanson sings the role of the
philandering Count Nicholas, sings it
in splendid voice and plays it with
dramatic understanding and - scoring
his points with a fine subtlety.
Saucy little Eva Olivotti billie burkes
gaily in the role of Ola, a kittenish
vampire, and sings in a voice clear
out of proportion in its bigness to her
small person.
Detmar Poppen scores as the impe
cunious count who allowed his debts
to stand in the way of his winning
women, and played with poise and
dignity.

CONFIDENCE VOTE GIVEN

An overwhelming vote of confidence
in its board of directors serving
through the past year was voted at a
largely attended, and in some respects
sensational, session of the Laurel
hurst club at the clubhouse extending
over a period of more than three
hours last night. Accusations of chi
canery and double-dealing, mingled
with hisses, at times featured the
meeting, which was a standing-room-only
affair.
After a stormy session of about an
hour, during which the insurgent fac
tion, led by H. S. McCutchan, fought
to out-maneuver the regulars in par
liamentary tactics and met with de
feat. Dr. J. P. Tamieste, president,
called for a vote by ballot, which was
taken, with the result that the fol
lowing regulars were elected to the
board of directors: F. C. Bowker. A.
C. Holmes and Fred A. Hurirard to
serve for two years, and Nelson J a
cobson to serve for one year.
Officers to He Appointed.
Officers of the club a president,
vice-president, secretary and treas
urer are elective by the board of di
rectors and must be members of the
board. They will be chosen at a
special sesHion of the directors to be
held next Tuesday night at the club
house. Two tickets of four names each for
the four places to be filled on the
board of directors were circulated at
the meeting, in addition to the official
list of candidates, which came forth
as a result of the routine action of the
club president hi naming a nominat
ing committee, of which Fred A. Bur
gard was chairman.
On the so-called regular ticket were
the names of F. C. Bowker. A. C
Holmes. Nelson Jacohson and Mr.
Burgard. "Vote for these candidates
and support your board of directors"
was the slogan on the ticket.'
"The progressive ticket," put out by
the McCutchan faction, had on it the
names of W. O. Johnson, Dr. Duane

and right after them conies an artistic
act which would topline if George and
Paul hadn't been so clever.
The artistic act is called "The
Corinthians" and presents six unusu
ally interesting persons who sing.
Their act is set in a bit of moonlit
garden, and the six vocalists in cos
tumes of a century ago sit in a group
by a stone wall and sing bits of old
time melodies with excellent harmony
effect. ' Of the six there are two who
are featured and whose work stands
out with distinction. These are Peggy
Wynne, who has a trick voice of ex
tremely high notes, and Ambrose
Barker, who is a good comedian and
whose singing voice is delightful.
Peggy imitates a violin and with
Ambrose carries on a surprising dia

hilarious, but it isn't a patch to the
comedy that is turned loose when
they stage an amateur show. The
darky one is the props and he gets

with a tension that foreshadowed- a
grim struggle for control by the two
factions, with Mr. McCutchan leading
he minority Insurgent group and Mr.
Pike being the floor leader of the reg

when a vote was taken on a proposed
amendment to the by-laws, brought in
by a committee of which W. M. Davis
was chairman, providing for a special
meeting in December, at which all
nominations for officers shall be made
rom the floor. This would abolish
he nominating committee, which has
been named by the president each
year thus far and which both' sides fa
vored doing away with.
Mr. McCutchan moved to amend the
Davis amendment by having the nom
inations made from the floor at the
regular annual meeting. The vote
was first by acclamation, but the Mc
Cutchan members called for a stand
ing decision. They lost heavily, and
from that time forth repeatedly went
down to defeat.

HEAD OF TREASURY
SAYS HAYS DEFAMES
Charges Credited to Republi
cans at Denver Displease.
RETRACTION IS DEMANDED
Telegraphic Correspondence Be
tween Secretary Glass and Na
tional Chairman Made Public.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 12. Tel
egraphic correspondence between
Secretary Glass and Chairman Hays
of the republican national committee,
centering about the assertion of Mr.
Hays in his Denver speech last week
that the democratic administration
has sent out "thousands of tons of
propaganda to liberty bond buyers,
food card signers, war workers, etc.,"
was made public tonight by the sec
retary, who declared he regarded the
charge as an "entirely reprehensible
species tf defamation."
Secretary Glass in a telegram to
Chairman Hays last Friday, the day
following the republican chairman's
address, called attention to a dispatch
quoting Mr. Hays as saying "the
name of every buyer of liberty bonds
of the United States was put on the
democratic mailing list for the forth
coming campaign" and asked that
Mr. Hays either produce proof "or
publicly retract this slander upon the
treasury of the United States."-
Slatemrnt In Kxplained.
Replying the next day from Salt
Lake City, Mr. Hays denied he had
said that the treasury secretary "had
furnished the names of all buyers of
liberty bonds for use of the demo
cratic committee as a mailing list."
but that he did say "that the demo
cratic administration sent thousands
of tons of propaganda to liberty bond
buyers, food card signers, war work
ers, etc., during the paper shortage,
and while limiting the use of paper
by the press, and that a large part of
it was democratic political propa
ganda and that all of it was paid for
by the taxpayers' money."
The republican chairman said he
desired to call the attention of Sec
retary Glass to what he described as
reliable information that "the demo
cratic committee has even resorted
to drawing drafts on bankers in
whose banks government funds are
deposited, telegraphing such bankers
that they had already drawn such
drafts" and in conclusion said ha
hoped the treasury secretary would
"join with us In an effort tp make
the coming campaign a contest be
tween two great political parties."
Denial Held Pertinent.
Replying to Chairman Hays. Sccre
tary Glass said the only part of th
chairman's reply which was "perti
nent" to his previous telegram was
"the apparent denial" of the Dress
dispatch ascribing to the chairman th
statement as to the UBe of lists of
liberty bond buyers.
The republican chairman's charge
as to the sending out of tons of parti
san political literature. Secretary
Gl-ass telegraphed, conveyed "an im
plication of groan stupidity as well a
downright dishonesty." which Mr
Glass said he resented "as both false
and silly."
Denying that he bad any knowledge
of the financial activities of either
the democratic or republican national
committees or to chairmen as regards
drawing of drafts on banks having
government deposits without previous
consent. Secretary Glass said "it
would not be astonishing to find that
both of you have repeatedly done
this." Agreement with Mr. Hays that
"this is no time for little things" is
expressed by the secretary.
VACCINATION FIGHT IS ON
Eureka Children, Vnvacclnatcd,
Must Be Given School Facilities.
EUREKA. Jan. 12. By a decision" of
Judge Murray in the superior court
here unvaccinated children of Eureka
who have been excluded from the
public schools for some weeks on ac
count of a finding of the state board
of health that smallpox exists, must
be transferred to a school which has
not been exposed.
The present vaccination law of Cal
ifornia provides that unvaccinated
school children must be admitted to
the public schools upon the same con
ditions as those vaccinated except
that when the state board of health
shall make its finding that smallpox
exists and that certain schools have
been exposed to the contagion there
of, the unvaccinated may be excluded,
but when so excluded they must be
transferred to a school which has not
been exposed.
This decision is of particular im
portance at this time with the present
campaign under way to secure the
vaccination of 80 per cent of Califor
nia school children which, according
to the state board of health, are un
vaccinated. Because of efforts by
health authorities to deny unvaccinat
ed school children1 their rights, the
Public School Protective league has
announced that it will place a con
stitutional amendment on the ballot
at the general election to be held in
November. 1920, in an effort to pro
hibit vaccination, inoculation or other
medication as a condition for attend
ance in a public school.
SPOKANE RISE GRANTED
Teachers Receive Blanket Increase
of $400 Annually.
SPOKANE. Wash., Jan. 12. A blan
ket increase of J400 annually was
granted' to all public school teachers
of Spokane at a meeting of the school
board tonight. The increase, which
also affects the city superintendent,
will become effective for the term of
1920-21. and will make the minimum
salary in grade schools $1250 and the
maximum J1700. High school teach
ers will- receive a minimum of $1600
and the maximum will be $2050.
A bond issue of $240,000 recently
