THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1922 7; develop maw, IS CHAMBER PLEA Campaign for $300,000 to Start December 5. 1 1 frl , GREAT NEED IS CITED Plans of California and Other States to Expend Big Sums for Publicity Given. O. V. Mielke, president, took the floor at the luncheon meeting of the members' forum yesterday with a plea for whole-hearted support of the development and national adver tising campaign for the state, which the Chamber of Commerce proposes to start soliciting subscriptions for on December 5. E. E. Faville. chair man of the agricultural committee, and A. J. Bale were the other two speakers. "An investment for returns, a purely business proposition," is the manner in which President Mielke characterized the project to raise the required 1300,000 for the two years' campaign. He pointed out the progress made in neighboring states with' similar advertising campaigns during the last several years and declared that California cities were preparing to expend $950,000 in ex ploiting the resources of their state during 1923. Problem Carefully'stndied. The speaker also explained the care with which the committees recommending the proposed cam paign had investigated the project during the past seven months' taing up each new angle as a separate issue. "A greater interest among the farming interests and the business men on their common problems," is the solution which Mr. Faville seeks to better the agricultural conditions of the state. He pointed to the pos sibilities of bringing this about un der a system of conferences and an exploitation of agricultural re sources to be provided in the pro posed campaign. It is proposed to devote $50,000 of the total of $150, 000 to be used the first year in bringing about this closer co-operation between the business man and the farmer. "Community organiza tion Is the watchword," according to Mr. Faville, who also advocated co operative marketing as an avenue to a more prosperous era for the Ore gon agriculturists. Plea for .10,000 Made. "This is not to be a donation or a g:ft, but a subscription which should extend over the two year period," as the closing remark of A. J. Bale, who made a ,strong appeal to the members of the chamber to sub scribe the required amount of $300, 000 within three days after the start of the campaign on December 5. Mr. Bale carefully explained the working plan of the committee which is to be headed by John Douffall, stating that it was pro posed to devote $100,000 each year to national advertising and $50,000 each year to state development His plea that the business interests do i not consider this a donation was based on an effort to keep interest in the campaign at all times throughout the period and that sub scriptions were the need, not plain Sifts to the fund. TODAY'S FILM FEATURES. Peoples "When Knighthood Was in Flower." Columbia "To Have' and to Hold." Liberty Valentino in "The Young Rajah." Rivoli Rex Ingram's "Tri fling Women." Majestic Harold Lloyd in "Dr. Jack." Blue Mouse "What's Wrong With the Women." Hippodrome Irene Rich in "The Call of Home." Circle "Monte Cristo." VIRTUALLY a story within a story, "Trifling Women," a Rex Ingram production, is the feature attraction at the Rivoli the ater. The fact that the story is told to a pleasure-seeking girl of the "trifler" variety, who spurns a de voted if impetuous lover, by her author-father makes it possible, after many deaths and unpleasant situa tions, to switch the thing about and permit 't to end happily. The story of "Trifling Women" was written and adapted by the pro ducer, Mr. Ingram. It concerns a mysteriously fascinating s'ren. beau tiful in face and form and strong in sensuous appeal. She is a crystal gazer, Zarenda by name, played splendidly by Barbara La Marr, who lures men by her beauty and her compelling physical appeal. Father and son enter competition for her favors, and fr'ends conspire against each other for her caresses. Later, when she does marry and purely for money she indulges in an Illicit affair with one of her for mer suitors, and both are brought to a terrible end when the irate hus band, played by Lewis Stone, dis covers her infidelity. He traps her in the Sorcerer's tower, after she believed him killed in a duel, and literally drags her down the stairs to the rat-infested dungeon below. His wound, received in the duel with her lover, is steadily weaken ing the hero, but he struggles to remain on his feet until the lover rushes in. He shoots him, and then drags his lifeless body down to the dungeon and throws 't to his trifling wife. He unsteadily climbs the stairs then crumples n death. But the gruesomeness is elimi nated when the action flashes back to the author telling the story to his daughter. Barbara La Marr has never done better , work than in this feature. Profile shots not so good, but she was beautiful in the close-ups; and when it came to throwing herself I into the role of the sensuous vamp she did not spare herself an atom. Lewis Stone can always be de pended upon for a capital perform ance. But In this production Miss La Marr carries away the honors. Larkin' Joins Ince. George Larkin, former star of the Premium Motion pictures of this city, has been cast for a big role opposite May McAvoy by Thomas Ince in one of the most pretentious production that will be made at the Ince studios. Frank Keenan is also in the cast. Larkin plays the part of "Ramon," a South American, noted particularly for his tango dancing. George grew side-burns for the part, and it is re ported that he appears very much the typically Spaniard. Advices also indicate, that "the gentleman un afraid" is "walking away with the part" to the delight of the studio officials. "Rudy" Valentino had bet ter watch his step. Also when it comes to "sheikish" love making, George is "some, hound." Larkin and his wife, profession ally known as Ollie Kirby, are now comfortably located in their wn charming home at Glendale, Cal. They write that It is all a welcome relief after Beaverton. MAIDS M UNCLAIMED GERMAN BRIDES-TO-BE WEEP FOR YANK SWEETHEARTS. i Screen Gossip. It is reported that the Universal racing classic "The Kentucky Der by," will be shown shortly in this city. Reginald Denny in "The Leather Pushers" is scoring a pronounced hit of his own in conjunction with the Harold Lloyd mirthquake "Dr. Jack" at the Majestic theater. This theater is doing a turn-away busi ness. Jackie Coogan in "Oliver Twist" is coming to the Liberty theater. This feature will undoubtedly fol low Katherine MacDonald in "White Shoulders," the beautiful star's lat est release. Bull Montana tried to make a baby cry recently by means of one of his notorious ferocious scowls. The baby laughed in and at his face, thereby giving Bull one of the most unpleasant afternoons of his career. It was necessary for the filming of a scene in "Glad Rags," the new Hunt Strombers production for Metro, that a baby should cry, and the infant's indifference to Bull's nightmare face was the talk of the Metro studio. It was only when Bull smiled that the youngster burst into tears, ffow people are ask'ng one another at the Metro studio whether it is better to be devastated by Bull's scowl or frightened to death by his smile.

Adv.( Investigation of Breakdown of Prohibition Enforcement May Be Ordered by Harding. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 27. Investigation of the complete break down in the enforcement of prohibi tion in Philadelphia on last Satur day, where 50,000 people assembled at the annual Army and Navy game may be ordered this week by Presi dent Harding. The violation of the law was so flagrant as to be apparent to the most casual observer. It existed at the game itself. Men and some women drank underneath the sta dium between the halves and at night some of the larger hotels were filled with drunks. There was so many as to excite the anger of mem bers of congress and cabinet offi cials. The scenes in the hotel were de scribed as quite beyond belief in these dry days. The bars in the hotels sold the mild 'one-half of 1 per cent drinks, but private rooms had well flourishing bars in opera tion and men and women drank to their satisfaction and many became drunk, to the disturbance of the guests. It was understood here that Sec retary Weeks intends to call -to the attention of President Harding the disgraceful violations of the law. Word comes here tonight from Philadelphia that Mr. Weeks in formed a hotel proprietor that he will lay the breakdown of enforce ment of the law before the presi dent at the cabinet meeting on next Tuesday. In the face of President Hard ing's declaration on last Friday and discussion of the prohibition ques tion by. the cabinet on that day those who are familiar with the situation say that a rigid investiga tion will be started as to the viola tions at Philadelphia on Saturday and elsewhere. It is generally believed that there will be a complete reorganization of the prohibition enforcement unit within the next month. welder by trade, said he had been out of work lately.
