NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS
Baker.
BY LEOXE CASS BAER.
THE redoubtable Abe Potash con
tinues his varied activities under
the guiding- hand of Montague Glass
and Jules Eckert Goodman, and every
season sees the stock companies put
ting on whichever production the
road companies brought the season
before. Which being the case, the
production for this season at the
Baker is Abe and Mawruss in the
motion picture game or to give the
title correctly, "Business Before
Pleasure."
In this piece Abe and Mawruss have
cast off associations with the cloak
and suit business, and, like the genu
inely honorable pair of gentlemen
they are, they play a lone hand
against domestic and business imped
iments so familiar to followers of
the Montague Glass heroes. In this
comedy Abe and his partner Mawruss
set sail on the motion picture sea as
producers in the Potash & Perlmut-

Lnir Rejnlre Llcenne.
Under this law a driver's license
must be obtained from the secretary
of state at a cost of 25 cents, which
is good until revoked, and enables the
driver to operate any car. The only
requirements are that the person re
questing a license must have operated
a car at least five days and must be
at least 16 years old.
"We have many requests tor licenses
for children less than 16 years old."
said Mr. Kozer, "but the law clearly
states that no licenses shall be issued
to persons under that age. In some
cases local ordinances permit children
under that age to operate automobiles,
but the state law supercedes all local
ordinances. This fact Is not clearly
understood throughout the state, and
we are swamped with requests from
parents who believe that their chil
dren should be allowed to operate
their cars."
12.1,000 Iyleenaea limned.
More than 125,000 drivers' licenses
have been issued since the law went
Into effect, said Mr. Kozer. and appli
cations are being received at the rate
of 300 to ,400 a day at present. In
the opinion of the secretary of state,
the 25-cent fee charged will be am
ple to cover the expense of catalogu
ing and card-indexing the drivers of
the state.
The license system will have the
effect of decreasing accidents
throughout the state," declared Mr.
Kozer. "When a magistrate or chief
of police sends down a recommenda
tion that a certain driver's license be
revoked as an additional penalty for
traffic violations, that license is re
voked, and the driver in question
cannot operate any car In the state
without breaking the law. In this
way we will have an official record
of the driver's activities for future
use."
Glancing through the files of the
local traffic bureau at the police sta
tion, where a dally list of from 20 to
50 accidents are recorded, Mr. Kozer
pointed out that the public, as a gen
eral rule, does not realize the tre
mendous scope of the work done by
the traffic officials.
Co-operation Held Reed.
"Co-operation 's what Is needed,"
stated Mr. Kozer emphatically. "These
accident reports show that most of
them resulted from carelessness and
obliviousness to the traffic regula
tions. All the traffic regulation In
the world will be wasted unless the
pubBc realizes that the work is being
don for their safety alone and, un
less they try to meet the officials
half way and do their part in helping
the traffic conditions."
Under the provisions of the motor
vehicle law, three inspectors are ap
pointed by the state department to
aid loca.1 officials in the enforcement
of the motor vehicle laws. These in
spectors were appointed last August,
and since their appointment have been
instrumental In bringing thousands of
dollars to the state through unpaid
motor vehicle license fees, according
to Mr. Kozer. Three-fourths of the
revenues derived from the licenses go
Into the state highway fund and one
fourth Is returned to the county,
minus a. small percentage for official
expenses.
In summing up the situation in re
gard to automobile accidents, Mr.
Kozer said:
"The great majority of the automo
bile drivers are careful and have in
mind the safety of the public in the
driving of their cars, but it requires
their constant vigilance and co-operation
with the traffic officers to curb
the activities of the few who persist
in violating the law, and at the same
time are endangering the lives of the
citizens of the state."
INTEREST IN BOOKS GROWS
Model Community library Estab
lished in Curry County.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 26 (Special
Miss Eleanor Davis, assistant to Miss
Cornelia Marvin, state librarian, has
returned from Curry county, where
she completed the first experiment
ever tried by any public library In es
tablishing model community libraries.
Miss Davis told of one man who lives
on a mountain trail who has spent
more than J100 for books during the
last year under the new library sys
tem. Many other instances were cited
by Miss Davis where the purchases
were almost as heavy.
Miss Davis' report shows that the
people of Curry county are good read
ers, their favorite works dealing with
geology, mineralogy, biography and
history. During recent months the
state library has serwt to Curry county
. more than 1000 volumes, with the re
sult that 12 branch libraries were es
tablished and many private borrowers
enlisted. Curry county has neither
book stores nor public libraries, and
to this fact is attributed the heavy
demand made upon the state library
for reading material.
Books Sent Lighthouses.
SALEM, Or.. Sept. 26 (Special.)
The state library recently completed
makins a shipment of winter reading
for light-house employes on the Pa

JAP TROOPS CALLED HOME
Orpheum. '
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
IS only fit and proper that a
gro should bring us the best In
syncopation. Music is a racial char
acterization of the American negro
and by it as a people he can be des
ignated, identified and accounted for
In his social, religious and political
trends and tendencies. As a" people
he may be standing with the rest of
Americans at the vestibule of tne fine
arts, and he may be, like his white
brothers in America, gradually and
sequentially evolving towards artistic
maturity, but when.it comes to syn
copation and Just plain clear-to-your-heart
harmony, we are yet in the
adolescent stage of art, and the negro
has scaled Parnassus on high gear.
There is comeliness and musical
distinction in the melodies of early
slave days, songs seasoned by sor
row. There is even greater charm
in the happy songs of the down
south darky, and syncopation was
born below the Mason-Dixon line.
Which is partly to say that multi
tudinous delights are encompassed in
the act of J. Rosamond Johnson, who
is a negro man despite his feminine
name. He was formerly of Cole and
Johnson and brings memories of his
earlier concert days In two or three
songs he offers. He is an excellent
pianist and plays a pretentious pro
gramme, which is occasionally broken
into by one or all of his clever assist
ants five. One Is a violinist of abil
ity, one a wizard at the drums with
Juggling abilities which provoke ap
plause right in the midst of the act.
Another does a set of steps and all
of them sing, beautifully. Their
voices blend perfectly, with the qual
ity of a big fine organ, and the quite
sincere efforts of the singers to
please is noticeable in their work
If you can call anything so delight
ful work.
A buoyant personality Is Miriam
Wills, who with Jack Clifford stopped
the show yesterday. Jack is a hay
seed ticket agent at Jasper Junction
and Miriam, dainty and pinky sweet,
is waiting for any train that will
take her away. They fall into con
versation, mostly important questions
on the agent's part and crisp replies
from Miriam. Their humor has a
refreshing charm of naturalness and
makes a big appeal. When they drift
into song the interest is even greater
and the applause became a demon
stration. Sheila Terry, piquant and bubbling
with life, returns with her act of
last season. "Three's a Crowd," a
clever arrangement of song and
dance, all of it original and charm
ing. An interpretation of Mendels
sohn's spring song speeded into jazz
and done on her tippy toes brought
much applause to the spirited little
dancer. A modern marriage, too, done
in dance was clever, and there's a
dozen more. Harry Peterson and
Morris Lloyd, a vocalist and dancer.
are Miss Terry's assistants.
Scream Welch, another Fatty Ar-
buckle, Is the central Idea around
which two acrobatic, athletic dancing
chaps, Slg Mealy and Johnnie Mont
rose, revolve a mighty clever act.
Comedy runs high, and they have a
flock of new Ideas.
A charming maid. Rose Dunbar,
says she is a hypnotist and calls for
subjects. Among others, Harry Adler
responds, and. the audience laughs
till it's weak at his pantomime of
confusion and self-consciousness. He
responds so quickly to Rose's sug
gestion that he imitates everything
from buzzing bees to cackling hens,
and wraps every line In a laugh. His
comedy observations are new and he
has a lot of keen grotesqueries.
Asakl and Taki from the land of
the mikado are unique physical
artists whose balancing and perilous
adventures in athletics bewilder and
thrill. One of them, presumably Taki,
is a dainty Japanese girl.
Closing the bill Is a spectacular
transformation novelty called Visions
in " Fairyland," in which La Graciosa
poses as the central idea in a series
of animated and colored scenes.

Hippodrome.
AN EXTREMELY artistic act is the
one billed on the new show at
the Hippodrome by the Myrtle Moore
trio, "In the Usual Way." Miss Moore
first appears behind a screen that
has the appearance of an aquarium,
and there Gene Custer sings a fish
ing song to her, Arthur Poteet accom
panying them on the piano They
have some clever repartee and charm
ing songs, one of them, "Sweet
Adeline," in which Custer and Miss
Moore appear as a sill ver-haired cou
ple. Poteet plays the cornet as well
as the' piano an A between songs con
tributes much in the line of Jazz.
Another good musical act is Tom
Brown's revue, featuring Miss Irene
Delory and Gus King. The seven
members of the company play saxo
phones, violins, piano, cornets, trom
bones and other instruments. Miss
Delory sings an Irish song which
wins much applause.
Ward and Wilson claim to be the
"king and queen of Hokum." While
the girl, clad in a shimmery gold
gown, attempts to sing, her partner
in rain coat and straw hat and clutch
ing an umbrella, creates a disturb
ance down in the audience. There
follows an argument, during which
the straw-hatted one attempts to
demonstrate his dramatic ability. He
finally consents to appear on the
stage after an usher ejects him from
his seat.
Selections in Italian from grand
opera are furnished by the "newsboy
Caruso" in the act of Verga and Mar
vin. The girl, who possess an excel
lent contralto voice; appears as a
flower seller, while her partner ped
dles papers and warbles familiar
selections. Tate and Tate have a
tumbling exhibition that furnishes
thrills. The feature photoplay with

Kerrigan.

TOKIO, Sept. 26. Japanese troops

Hugh Wiley, one of the first pla
toon of American short story writers,
spent yesterday at tho Multnomah
hotel visiting his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. E. C. Wil.-y. who have been resi
dents of Portland for the past year.
He departed lust night for San Fran
cisco, to launch three stenographers
upon some of the more immediate
work he has in mind.
For Mr. Wiley is that rare bird of
literature the chap who dictates his
stories and leaves the labor of typing
to others. The habit is itself a com
mentary on his success. though
Georgro Horace Lorimer didn't agree
with the methDd.
"I asked him fine day." laughed Mr.
Wiley, "if many of the contributors
to the Saturday Evening Post dic
tated their stuff. 'I should say not!'
replied Mr. Lorimer. 'I never have
seen a dictated story that was worth
a hang. They're all Impossible.
Comment Is Taken Back.
"Rome time afterward he was com
menting on one of my Chinatown
stories, 'Junk,' and the tenor of his
remarks was such that I had him. I
told him that the entire yarn had
been dictated, and that every 'story
of mine went the same route. 'Didn't
I say something to you about dic
tated stories, some time ago"' he
asked. I nodded. 'Well, I guess I'll
have to take It back.'"
Several years ago Hugh Wiley was
civil engineering hither and yon, with
sirloin steaks few and far between.
He supervised the i.iylng of a pipe
line across the Willamette river, to
bring Bull Run watiir into the city.
He built bridges and surveyed rights-of-way.
and tho thought most remote
was that his true forte lay in- the
narration of life through the keys of
a typewriter. When fate overtook
him and set htm to his appointed task
he was in Seattle, more than a little
weary and somewhat convinced that
the future was as drab as a cold
buckwheat.
Money Seen In Writing.
"I said to myself," said Wiley,
"What else can you do? Have you
had any interesting experiences? You
have. There's money in the writing
game," I told. myself. 'Can you deliver
the goods? You can try." So I wrote
my first story, one of the Mississippi
river yarns. It was called "On the
Altar of Hunger." I sent it to Scrib
ner's and they bought it. I wrote
four stories before the war, 'and all of
them sold. And I've been writing ever
since.
"At first I bought some books on
how to write short stories. They
served to convince me that the fel
lows who wrote them didn't know any
more about it than I did. One of
them, bolied down, gave me the only
thought in the bunch. It was this
start your yarn and keep It moving,
galloping right through to the"inlsh.
And when you're through. quit.
Sometimes in my work I pencil three
words on a sheet of cardboard, big
letters and easy to see Tell the story."
I hang that card up where I can't fail
to see it. and it serves to keep me on
this track.'"
ChinatoTrn Tales Favorites.
It is apparent that the creator of
Wildcat." the ebullient colored de
votee of "Lady Luck," and late of the
A. E. F., does not regard this char
acter as having entree to literature,
and that his own choice falls to the
weird, joss - and - jade chronicles of
Chinatown which he sets down with
a touch that leaves the white man
face to face with the Incomprehensi
ble orient. He is partial, too, to the
Mississippi river yarns of tho govern
ment dredging service, and, being re
minded that the last episode sends
one of his happiest old skippers to the
Pacific coast, gave tentative promise
that the captain might find turther
cruises on the Columbia. But th
Wildcat, with his galloping ivories
and his serene belief In the fortunate
influence of Lily, the goat, is to win
early retirement.
Four More Wildcat Stories Slated,
"The wildcat stories are 99 per cent
hop," remarked Mr. Wiley. "I have
no particular colored character, from
real life, in mind as I write them,
though I did observe many of . the
type while in France. Four more
stories. I think, will finish the Wild
cat. Most of the letters commendat
ory of my work concern these stories.
but I'm as firm a believer in Lady
Luck as he is. So I want to quit
while the going is good. Stories of
that sort will travel only so far. and
then the public will begin to tire of
them."
All this being logical and well be
thought, the fact remains that the
Wildcat has attained the dignity of
publication In book form, and is soon
to escort Lady Luck and the goat
Lily upon Broadway. There are other
satisfactory evidences of the success
that came to Hugh Wiley when he set '
.fancy to work for him. Some of his .
Chinese stories are to be filmed, and '
cinema audiences are to learn that
Chinatown, just around the corner, '
Is a province as alien as any beyona
the Pacific.
Wiley Not Dazzled by Success.
Success hasn't dazzled Hugh Wiley.
That editors call him by his first
name, and want to know what he
smokes, and all that sort of thing,
isn't at all singular to a fellow who
was always ready to salute the world
and Its potentates with friendly fa
miliarity recognizing no essential
difference between a stevedore and a
captain of industry, aside from an
Inclination toward the former. He
smokes cigarettes, believes that the
who. when, where type of intro
duction is the best form, and is rather
inclined to regard his readers quizz
ically for their manifest liking for
Wiley stories.
Novel to Be Written.
Does Mr. Wiley desire to follow the
tra'n of literary knights who sought
the dark tower of the -Great American
Novel? Here he is non-commltal, but
within the year he Intends to write
a novel, as well as two dozen short

Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Tuck of Red

In Grizzly Basin.
BEND, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)
Snow four to five feet deep on the
summit of the divide. 15 miles north
of Sisters, turned back the party
which set out from Sisters in search
of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Tuck of Red
mond, believed to be in Grizzly basin
at the fdof of Mount Jefferson, cut
off from return by recent storms and
tho loss oX their horses.
John Tuck, father of the missing
man. was notified of the failure, and
telephoned from Redmond to the
ranger station at ' Detroit, on the
other side. He was assured that
every effort would be made to locate
the campers. As a good trail con
nects Detroit with Grizzly basin, and
since the altitude Is much less, with
probably a smaller fall of snow, Mr.
Tuck hopes that his son and daughter-in-law
can be quickly found.
If the efforts of the rangers are
not successful a second search party,
already formed in Redmond, will seek
to cross the summit by a lower but
more roundabout way than that at
