The fourth secUon will be the fly ing squadron, made up of a score of prominent business men, who will de vote their attention entirely to lining up the heaviest contributors, such as bank large estates and other con cerns of similar nature.

Unofficial reports from headquar ters yesterday indicated that a num ber of large institutions and business houses have not only perfected their detailed organization for the drive in their establishments, but that quite a number arc, already over the top with every employe entitled to wear a "Have-a-Hearf" button the in signia of duty fulfilled before the official opening of the drive.

BT LEONE CASS BAER. AS A vivacious patron of the the ter, Florrie La Vere billows and eddies herself into an enclosure rep resenting a stage box and right after her IraiU a lugubrious, sad-eyed, de pressed escort In the person of Harry Holmes. Save that Florrie Is preity and Maggie and Jiggs isn't, they are another pair of Jiggs, with Father beaten conversationally into submis sion save for an occasional flare of illuminating comedy. Husband is palpably bored at the promised show, and Mrs. Wife is mad because she has arrived too early. They bicker and row delightfully and the audience is in howls of joy. Then the stage darkens and Holmes and Miss La Vere dash gaily through the vaudeville act which the afore discussed Jiggs pair are witnessing. Miss La Vere is a splendid dancer, graceful and swift, and she has an engaging sincerity that is apparent i fl y 8 Holmes plays the piano skillfully, juggling' glad notes and sad notes dexterously and in comedy tune. Then they step again into the Jiggsy twain, both sound asleep in the box. The idea is refreshingly new and clever and both Miss La Vere and Holmes "stay put" in their clever characterizations. The climax was so unexpectedly funny that the audi ence brought the pair out a dozen times and found itself laughing every time it remembered the exit of the pair. Harmony voices have Moss and Frye, ebon exponents of originalities. Their singing without the orchestra is so excellent and proves so delight ful that they could profitably add another song or so to the turn. Their arguments and misunderstandings are along new lines and were most amusing. Harriet Rempel returns in a new sketch called "The Story of a Pic ture," which Is really not the story of a picture at all, but the story of a door. It is a romantic fantasy un folded in two scenes. One is an epi sode in the youth of a girl and her suitor and the second picture finishes the story 40 years later. Miss Rempel plays both the young girl and the old lady, and it is in her ability to portray these studies nat urally and honestly that her charm lies. A Mr. Higgins plays the suitor, a Mr. Morrell Is the old gardener and a Mr. Smith is the cyclist. None of these actors have given names. The unique lighting and color flooding the portico and the door through which the characters enter and around which the story centers is unusually interesting. Once the Four Fords danced into our liking, then the two Ford sisters, Lottie and Dora, came in a lovely dancing act, and now we have sister Lottie and brother Edwin Ford along with Mayme Gehrue, a clever artist, and Bob C. Adams, who, too, is a whirlwind dancer. These four step pers have a brilliant terpsichorean offering,, with William Cutty, a splendid pianist, keepinr them com pany on the keyboard. A "tullptime" eccentricity is especially colorful, danced gaily by Edwin and Lottie Ford, and the Ragtime Wedding Glide jn which the quartet finishes is a cyclonic version of Mendelssohn's w. k. melody. The act is handsomely staged. A daring and dazzling turn is that of Marguerite, a shapely siren, and Alvarez, who are aerial entertainers. They depart from the cut-and-dried in novel balancing and gay good humor is added to their series of amazing tricks on the bar. Elizabeth Otto and Eileen Sheridan offer comedy songs and music of their own making. One, the best of all the songs, is a characterization of various types of women singing the same plaint. The singer does the interpolations cleverly. The E-erests novelty monkey cir cus closes the bill with an array of smart little monkeys putting on a vaudeville show while a miniature orchestra of monkeys provides near music. Comedy prevails and excite ment runs high as each little monkey puts across, unaided, his part of the programme. P. S. This show closes with the matinee Wednesday. Lyric. ROMANCE and race horses provide the plot for "Georgia Rose," the musical comedy offering which opened the usual week's run at the Lyric yesterday afternoon. Dorothy Raymond plays tho title role of the play and is charming as a southern belle in fluffy silks and satins. Georgia's father, Colonel Rose, played skillfully by Will Rader, is a courtly gentleman of the old south who cannot resist the thrill of playing the stock market. Georgia is engaged to marry John Henry, a race track follower with an amazing vocabulary of slang. John has prom ised his sweetheart never to bet again on a race, but he breaks his rule in order to save her father from ruin in the stock market. Al Franks gives a side-splitting portrayal of a race track tout and jockey, and Ned Doyle makes the most of the role of John Henry. Dressed in a neat riding suit, derby and leather puttees, Clarence Wurdig plays the villain in a clever way that would bring a storm of hisses in the days of old-time "mellerdrammer," Howard Evans gives a good perform ance as Tony, a jockey who couldn't be bribed; Florence Spurrier fur nishes fun with her Sis Hopkins makeup, and Dot Posty makes a bit as Georgia's pretty friend. The new show is filled with catchy songs. Billie Reams steps out of the ranks of the Rosebud chorus and stops the show with her number, "I Want a Daddy." She wears a dainty French costume, and her singing brought several encores yesterday. Clare Heath, Don Smith and "Duke" Gilkison were well received in a com edy trio number. Dot Posty, in an elaborate bridal gown, Bings "Just a Week From Today" in fine style. Clarence Wurdig sings "ft Found a Rose in the Devil's Garden, and Will Rader sings "An Old-Fashioned Gar den," both efforts being applauded generously. Dorothy Raymond, Ned Doyle and Howard Evans also con tribute pleasing song numbers. Road Contracts Awarded. ST. HELENS, Or., March 27. (Spe cial.) At a special meeting the coun ty court awarded two road contracts G, L. Tarbell was awarded the con tract to grade two miles of the Miller Hill road near Deer island, his bid being $11,535. There were several other bids ranging from $14,000 to $19,000. Otto and L. C. Boeck were awarded the contract for the Petti john road in the Nehalem district, their bid for the job being $2798 While court was in session." three other road projects were submitted, and it was ordered that bids be ad vertised for. The three jobB will cost in the neighborhood of $20,000. Farm Bureau Campaign Held. CENTRALIA. Wash March 27. (Special). A membership campaign being waged by the Lewis County Farm bureau was held last week in the vicinity of Wlnlock, Vader and Toledo. Two rural communities re ported 100 per cent memberships. This week solicitors will work in eastern Lewis county. A. T. Klagg. former county ascot, is directing the drive. Baker. . By LEONE CASS BAER. OFFERED under modest auspices, with no blare of trumpets herald ing its former long runs or previous performances, even new through never having been Introduced to us in a road show, "The Guilty Man" is a play that reveals an interesting and clever story. It follows a fairly close generali zation of plot that famous other play of maternal love, "Madame X." This newer piece, however, lacks the rank emotionalism and the sordid evidence of the older play This play is built strictly on realistic methods. Its dia logue is terse, to the point and in tensely interesting. In Madame X' her son was called on to plead her case before the bar of justice some 20 years after she had forsaken him in his cradle. Her story was one "of tardy mother love In "The Guilty Man," it is a father who is called upon to prosecute the daughter he has never seen since he deserted her mother in his young student days in Paris. The girl mother, forsaken before her baby's birth marries another man to give the child a name and a home. The step-father forces the girl to . dance and cater to the men in his cafe and when she is 15 he sells her to a wizened old roue who patronizes the cafe. But a youthful love and a fine sweet knowledge has come to the girl In the person of a poor young artist and she plans to elope with him. Her mother, a wretched .creature, work-worn and blinded by years of patient toil and misery, helps the girl. When the step-father over hears the plans for the girl's happi ness, he abuses the mother and the girl kills him. Then the case goes into the courts and the prosecuting attorney, it develops as the trial pro ceeds, is the student who ruined the girl's mother years before and she is his daughter. The prosecution is halted while the prosecutor flays himself as the "guilty man" and so it ends, win happiness promised for the girl in her freedom and reunion with her mother and her fiance. The great love interest between the mother and her daughter is the binding tie in the play. Interest never slackened and in the third act when the action flared to the big moment of recognition between the mother and the father who was prose cuting their child, the thrills came thick and fast. The piece has any number of ex cellent acting parts. Shirley Mayberry distinguished the play and led the cast with an artistry of acting of the naturalistic school. In the first act. Miss Mayberry is thb girl who is, pleading with the man who has betrayed her to right the wrong he has done her. In the rest of the play which takes place 15 years later, Miss Mayberry plays the mother, grown faded and old and sad with the years. Her acting never seemed to lose its poise, never over played and gained again and again the real depths and heights of wom anly character which the author has skillfully built into the role. In the second act, when the mother is dragged abou'. the room and beaten by the husband, Miss Mayberry rises above mere acting and plays with a convincing spirit of emotionalism to a point where the effect could be felt in the audience. Leona Powers, as the girl, had an adept way of maintaining the unique personality of the French girl, as suming her cynicisms and bitterness to all save her mother and the young artist, an assumption that was as much Miss Powers' art as it was the author's creation. Selmer Jackson is "the guilty man" and plays the unsympathetic role with fine distinction, and his accustomed skill. It is a sheer delight to watch the graces and poise with which Mr. Jackson, as the lawyer, parried and attacked. Leo Lindhard was most excellent as the stepfather, and his scenes with Miss Mayberry and Miss Powers were amazingly real. .Murray F. Bernard put sympathy and charm into the part of the young artist, and Brod erick O'Farrell engaged all the nu ances and subtleties of good comedy as the gabbling oldi roue. Walter Corry as a French waiter, . Irving Kennedy as a French chief of police. William Lee a9 a kindly old doctor, George P. Webster a3 the father, whose pride in his son's career forces that son to desert the girl he should have wed, and Lora Rogers as the woman he later marries, complete the cast, with Laurence Keating as a natural-looking court attache, and pretty Mayo Methot as a maid.

EXCELLENT acts from start to fin ish and a Douglas Fairbanks pic ture with even more than the star's usual action featured this week's Hippodrome bill, which opened yes terday with capacity crowds. Five musical queens present popu lar selections, instrumental solos and vocal numbers. Cornet, trombone, saxophone and piano all lend har mony or jazz to the occasion under the touch of the members of the quintet. Frank Ward's novelty dancing dolls teach all the latest steps under the guidance of his skillful fingers. He introduces himself as a member of a crazy family and proves it without bringing in very remote ancestors. A captain, an old tar and a hobo make a rollicking crew, but Powers, Marsh and Delmere present their act without making anyone walk the plank. Touches of comedy on the side keep everyone in tune to their songs. The real old southern drawl, jokes, some fresh from the south, and lively skits of song feature Qeorge Stanley and sister in "Dixie." George, as the old-time darkie preacher, makes his Easter morning announcements and bows out, but not without generous applause. Burrell Brothers are really clever acrobats, but their final stunt leaves a thrill that one can't quite forget during the remainder of the how. The motion picture shows Douglas Fairbanks in "The Mark of Zorro." The plot is laid in California- in the days of the Spanish occupation and is full of thrills of the romantic life led by the haughty cavaliers. The film has several exciting fencing scenes, for which Fairbanks, who himself is an expert fencer, hired a Belgian instructor to train his oppon nents. Heppner Has Warm Easier Day., HEPPNER, Or.. March 27. (Spe cial.) Easter day in Heppner was warm and bright. Real spring weath er has covered the hills with fine grass and the wheat never looked betttr. Sheepmen reported increases running from 105 to 120 per cenU TO FILL BIG . CHEST Detail Work Will Be Done by Service League. ENTIRE CITY DISTRICTED Four Thousand Volunteers Trained In Task or Telling Others Objects of Big Drive. The final great step in the Com munity Chest drive which will insure that every 'man and woman in the city has the opportunity to do his share will be taken by the Portland Service league. The organization of the league has been worked out so carefully that once the word is passed forward for their work to be gin, each unit of the entire residential section of Portland will be covered almost automatically. Every man of the 4000 needed for the proper function of the work or the league is now instructed in his duties. Each man has a unit of ten neighbors for whom he is directly re sponsible and he must see them and give them opportunity to subscribe. Once this is done, his work is over, the returns are filed back through the organization and if every man has attended only to the details as signed to him the heads of the service league are sure that every person in Portland has been reached without duplication and without extra effort. Eight Diatricts In City. "Our organization is just like an army," explained Henry W. Kent, executive secretary of the league, last night. "The city is divided into eight districts with a general .in charge. Each general has five majors under him and so on down to the second lieutenants, upon whom the real re snonsibiiitv falls. The higher offi cers merely see that the officers under them are in their proper places. '1 ne second lieutenants are responsible for ten neighbors and whether the neigh bor is Mayor Baker or any other high officer in the drive, they are under orders to ascertain whether or not that neighbor has contributed to the community chest and if not give him an opportunity to subscribe. "Our chief concern is with our of ficers themselves, for like an officer in the army, their duty is to superin tend the work and not man the guns. Of course none of our men will re fuse subscriptions, but the first duty of each is to see that his own. unit is in the right place and doing the right thing." In order to avoid duplication and unnecessary work, the house-to-house work awaits a day later in the week, when the workers have thoroughly (pv;sre'l the business sections and reached everyone possible. Then the word will be passed out for the Port land service league to take the field and the entire city will be covered. . Efficiency la Objert. "The Portland service league's part in the campaign is not to secure sub scriptions from unwilling sub scribers," said Mr. Kent. "Ours will be the last call to the people of Port land to come to the aid of the sick, the poor and the homeless. We will see that each one hears the call and then it is up to them to give or not, as they see fit. Our organization is equipped to reach everyone with the least trouble and with the greatest saving of time and material. There fore we responded to Mayor Baker's call and are now awaiting the final word." Nine men have been selected as dl lectors or generals to handle the work from their record of achieve ment during the past year in their connection with the league. The list of directors follows: Charles H Begg. director general; Ivan Huma son. division 1; Abe Rosenstein, di vision 2; Jchn R. Tomlinson, division 3: J. J. Englehardt, division 4; John M. Jones, division 5; F. B. Schermcr horn, division 6: Ted Williams, divi sion 7, and George W. Groves, di vision 8. IS PROGRESS HELD RETARDED BY 1EV BUSINESS JIEN. Small Percentage of Labor Also Is Blamed for Holding to AVar time Wage Demands. That the' return to normal prices throughout the country has been re tarded by a small percentage of man ufacturers, wholesalers and retailers who have insisted on the highest pos sible price for their products and by a small percentage of laboring men who have insisted on wartime wages, said F. C. Knapp, president of the Peninsula Lumber company and a member of the commission of public docks, who has just returned from a visit to Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, Cincinnati, Omaha, St. Louis and San Francisco. Mr. Knapp declared general pros perity was on the way across the country. He said the time would de pend entirely on the attitude of the citizens. "I attended in Chicago a three days' conference of manufacturers . and dealers catering to the building ot homes, so badly needed throughout the United States," he said. "It de velopad at that meeting that the lum bermen throughout the country had led off with heavy reductions, this step being followed by paint manu facturers and manufacturers in sev eral other lines. But there remained a few lines of trade insisting upon wartime prices for their goods." LUMBER 5AMM0NS' TOPIC PORTLAND BANKER TO TELL TRUTH OP INDUSTRY. Conventions to Be Attended in South and East in Interests ot . Pacific Northwest. The'truth about the lumber indus try of the Pacific northwest and the fact1 that this section offers the only possibility for future extensive .op erations in that industry, will be car ried into the epemy'p territory by Edward C. Samnions, assistant cash ier of the United States National bank, who left Saturday night to at tend the convention of the Southern Pine association to be held at New Orleans, April 5 and 6. Previous to going to New Orleans Mr. - Sammous ' wUl attend the Na tional Wholesale Lumber Dealers' as sociation convention March 29 and 30 attthe New Drake hotel In Chicago and the Third American Lumber con gress under the auspices of the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers' asso ciation at the Congress hotel in Chi cago March 30 and 31. At all these gatherings Mr. Sim mons, will present to the lirga tim ber operators of the south and mid dle west, the fact that this sao'ion 's to be the "last great stand ' for the t'mbfer operators of the wort' He will, in each instance, establish at convention headquarters a bureau of Information, on the lumbering pos sibilities of the Pacific northwest and will distribute Illustrated booklets which present in vivid pictures and language the lure of this section from the standpoint of the timberman. A thousand copies of this publica tion were taken east by Mr. Sammons and he hopes to put one of them in the hands of every big timber op erator who attends these three gath erings. Timbermen of the country are already looking toward the Pa cific northwest as the mecca for their future operations when the timber supply of the older sections of the country is gone. It is consequently expected that the publications to be distributed by Mr. Sammons will re sult eventually in many large oper ators turning their serious attention to this section. The booklet contains a personanl appeal from the United States Na tional bank to the lumbermen of the south and middle west as follows: "To the lumbermen whose eyes are turned to the great uncut forests of the Pacific northwest Portland of fers potential possibilities for the unlimited operations of the future. "Adjacent to gigantic tracts of fir. pine, spruce and hemlock; the center of rail transportation; tapped by two great rivers, and already the largest lumber port in the world, its oppor tunities for operation in forest, mill and factory are immeasurable." The booklet also contains a brief history of the lumber industry of this section, pictures of various types of timber to be found in the northwest and maps illustrative of the migra tions of the timber industry from the north Atlantic to the northwest and from there to the south and now to Pacific Northwest.
