LINE or so went Into Nora
Bayes' chatter that didn't be-
g there last Thursday, night.
and. last night, too, and only one
person other than Miss Bayes knew
its full meaning. The rest of the
company figured she was Just adding
comedy and since they never know
from one act to another just what
she is going to put In next, they are
more or less prepared for anything.
The. audience, of course, figured it
helonged In the dialogue, but it
didn't. , - - .
What Miss Bayes said was "O-o-o-o,
how I love noodle soup. . I wish I
had some good old noodle soup right
this ni!nufte I bet if my Aunt i
Bertha knew I was pining and wast
ing away, for want of noodle soup,
she'd see that I got some."
What the audience didn't know was
that Aunt Bertha sat right in the
second row and that Miss Bayes
meant every word of her ardent de
sire for noodle soup,- and that upon
hearing it. Aunt Bertha privately re
solved to make her niece all the
noodle soup the Bayes stomach could
hold. For Aunt Bertha had made
noodle soup before fqr Miss Bayes,
before she was Nora Bayes, best
known singing comedienne on the
stage. It was when Nora wasn't
Nora at all, at all, but little 11-year-old,
Ella Goldberg, singing her little
head off around the house, at school
and at entertainments, back in Chi
cago I do. not know, and '.will .not
conjecture how many years ago.
Anyway. Aunt Bertha, who is Mrs.
Bertha Miller, went from her home
in St. Louis to visit her husband's
people in Chicago, and when , sbe
heard her little niece,' Ella Goldberg,
singing, she planted some seeds in
the little maid's mind. Aunt Bertha
told little Ella she had a voice: that
voice was a gift from God, and that
ccounting must be made of tatents.
The little maid was already ' aflame
with the desire to go on the stage
nd when Aunt Bertha added her ap
proval and benediction to the loyal
support of her own father and mother.
ittle Miss Goldberg stepped the first
rung on a ladder that she has
limbed steadily and surely ever
nee. until now she is at the top.
Today she is eating noodle soup
at Aunt Bertha's, who is the 74-year-
young mother of Mrs. Alexander
Gevurtz.
"I don't care what you do have
or do not have tor me, so long as
can have some noodle soup and
some of Aunt juertna wonderful
cookies," said Nora Bayes. "I have
remembered Aunt Bertha's cookies
all my life and now I'm going to eat
my fill of them again and take a
batch along with me when I leave."
Nora Bayes Aunt Bertha Is young
and peppy for her 74 years, and when
Nora throws the cushion across the
footlights in the game she plays with
her audience, it is Aunt- Bertha to

catches It every time. "If her folks
could spare her, I'd take Aunt Bertha
right along -with my show, write her
a role and I'll wager she'd put it
across," said Miss Bayes. She says
her ambition is to be a grandmother
like Whistler's mother.
"I want to be a real old-fashioned
grandma," she says. "The type is
almost extinct and growing rarer.
The modern grandma is as young as
her daughter, her skirts are as short,
herfigure a; well preserved, her hair
is-colored and marcelled, her na'ls
are her pride, and she doesn't know
what to do If Billy burns his finger
or the neighbor woman's cake falln.
Com to think of ' it, she wouldn't
know the neighbor woman. The mod
ern grandma is a woman's-clubber,
a dancer of modern steps, she mas
sages her chin and occasionally is
a vampire. Give me the old-fashioned
kind," says Nora Bayes. "Commend
me to the old lady who lets- her
hair grow white when God and na
ture made it turn white, who knits
because she likes it and not because
it's a fad. who reads her Bible and
sings little old-fashioned tunes about
Nellie Gray.' or 'Sweet Mabel Clare.'
I love the grandma who understands
little dirty-faced boys, and has
gumdrop in her pocket for them, the
grandma who can fashion a doll dress
for little fingers to sew, and who
tends a geranium in a window pot
or has a bed of pansies. That's the
sort of nice old lady, I, Nora Bayes,
want to be.
BIG LIQUOR HAUL MADE
STILL AXD 1700 GALLONS OF
MASH SBIZED;2 JAILED. :
Vats, Barrels and Cans Among
Equipment Used by AuMrlans
in Clackamas County.
OREGON CITY, April 23. (Special.)
The largest moonshine still ever
found in Clackamas county and
probably the largest in the state was
raided Thursday, near Boring, by
Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Hughes
and -two revenue officers of Portland.
It was owned and operated by two
Austrians.
The. Austrians had rented a five-
acre place between Boring and Sandy
and the still wast set up in the base
ment of an outhouse. Methods of
operation indicated that the owners
were experts. The officers found 75
gallons of moonshine whisky and
more than 1700 gallons of mash made
from corn and hops. In addition there
was testing apparatus and coloring
for the product.
The Austrians said they had not
been at the place long, but the
officers found 36 empty sugar sacks.
11 empty kerosene cases, and six cans
full of oil.
The stove for heating the still was
different from any ever found , in
Clackamas county and the officers
are of the opinion that it was shipped
from the east. It was en oil burner
and was capable of heating both stills.
The mash was kept in three vats
and two large barrels and was in dif'
ferent stages of fermentation.
The men. were locked in the county
jail Thursday night and will be ar
raigned for hearing later.

Attitude on Prohibition; High Cost
' of Living and Ownership of
Railways Challenged.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, April 23. Senator Hi
ram Johnson was handled roughly by
William Jeffers, ex-postmaster of
Hackensack, N. J., in an open letter
today which promises to add fuel to
the flames of an already hot cam
paign in that state.
After assailing Johnson's record on
prohibition. Jeffers declared that New
Jersey is against government owner
ship of railroads, which Senator John
son approved in 111$. Be also ac
cused Joh.ison of attempting to ar
ray class against class. The letter
closed In this fashion:
"You and your supporters are say
ing a great deal in denunciation of
the high cost of living and profiteer-
. You and they say the cost of
living is a crime and the profiteers
should be put In Jail.
Copies of Bills Reaaeated.
Will you kindly mall me copies
of any and all bils you Tiave intro
duced in the senate for the reduction
of the cost of living and the jailing
of profiteers?"
Other questions propounded by Jef
fers were as follows:
"The people of New Jersey believe
In the private ownership of railroads
with adequate regulation. You are
on record (.the congressional record
of February 19,-1918) as unqualifiedly
advocating permanent government
ownership of the railroads of this
country. Being thus at right angles
with the voters of New Jersey, how
can you consistently plead for their
suffrage at the noils?
Omcnhip Attitude Cited.
"The people of New Jersey believe
in the private ownership of municipal
street-car lines and other public util
ities. In your speeches in Detroit
you unqualifiedly advocated govern
ment ownership of street-car lines
and other public utilities. How can
you recorrclle these two points of
view and logically plead for Jersey
votes?
"The people of New Jersey have
just passed through the throes of an
'outlaw railroad' strike which put
them to great inconvenience and
hardship, and cost them many thou
sands of dollars. Fro:n your speeches
It is clear that you are trying to
n.ake political -.'apital of this outlawry
and line up the Insurgent labor union
ists behind your candidacy.
"Since you are appealing to this
radical element and in er h of your
speeches you vigorously strive to ar
ray group against group, how can
you consistently ask for votes from
those who haye suffered from the
practicitiG by 'outlaws' of what you
preach? . . .
Pro-German Savport Charged.
"In New. Jersey voters are patriotic
and loyal to the core, they are 100
per cent American. Analysis of the
vote cast for you in Detroit, Mich.,
and Chicago, 111., shows that you had
the support of pro-Germans who h
been accused of disloyalty to their
country during the war, I. W. W
radical socialists and even bolshevlsts
and communists.
"In view of the fact that you are
asking for New Jersey votes, does it
not resolve, itself into an invitation
from you to the New Jersey voters
to join a brotherhood with this radl
cal and dangerous element in our
country? If New Jersey men lie
down with dogs they are bound to
arise with fleas.
"New Jersey believes In organized
politics not corrupt politics, but
sound' organization for the good of
the party. From one end of this
country to the other you have de
nounced state political organizations.
How can a man who denounces the
organized republican party in the
various . states and the nation as
whole Justify a plea for the rotes of
New Jersey republicans who believe
in organization so as to present
solid front to the democrats?"

WE PAID the highest price for
The Silver Horde" that wasx
ever paid for any picture on
the Pacific coast, and it is worth it. t
The largest number of people that
ever attended any picture at this
theater saw "The Silver Horde" last
week and thousands acclaimed it
greater than even Rex Beach's other
masterpiece, "The Spoilers."
All the excitement the freedom
from convention the wild fighting
life -a.il the things that lure men and
women to that great open country
Alaska are depicted with an intense
realism unequaled in any previous
' picture of the North.
