The admiral with his blunderbuss shoots up the ghost several times without doing any harm except to ruin the appearance of his library. A trap is finally laid for the ghost. It is seen, the watchers sent several bullets after the fleeing- form and the ghost barely escapes with its spiritual life.

Such is "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals," this week's feature at the Star theater. Not one of the cast had a minute's direction. Edward Liemmle and Will iam Alder of the Universal Film com pany, who were shipwrecked on the coast of Dutch New Guinea, took the scenes as they went along. The re sults are far more thrilling than if they had used a manufactured plot. . What scenarist or director could write a story as strange as the daily habits of these weird people, whose women disfigure themselves for the sake of beauty? Of children, who at 9 and 10 years of age, appear as 40? In the midst of a tropical storm that almost wrecked their apparatus. these two men stood bravely by their camera and while the lightning struck near them and tall palms crashed at their feet, cranked out hundreds of feet of film, the like of which never has been equaled. One night they hid themselves in the nearby bushes, while the Kia Kia head hunters danced upon the moonlit sands in a religious ceremony. The lens caught every movement. It would have meant death by torture had a rustling leaf or a crisp branch betrayed the two white men, but fate was on their side and they were able to take and bring back to America the strangest picture of adventure ever shown. "tsnlpwrecKea Among Cannibals" Is not a dry educational picture. It is the actual cinematic record of a true and thrilling adven ture. hilfi f ill ji Sri PI YE distinguished artists have been engaged as soloists for the concerts to be given this winter by the Portland Symphony orchestra. With Carl Denton as conductor, the orchestra will open Its tenth season at the Hellig theater on Wednesday, October 27. There are 60 men in the personnel of the orchestra.

James Gib bons Huneker, New York World, says: "He has a beautiful touch. He is more than a mere technician, for he has brains, a soul, as well as the fleetest of fingers." G. E. Krehbiel. New York Tribune, writes of Lhevinne: "Lhevinne played with superb rhythmical incislveness, and a brilliancy that has had few parallels. His conquest of the audi ence was complete." "There is no baritone in the world of music today who occupies as unique a position as that attained by Emilio de Gogorza," says the Boston Globe in an article reviewing one tit his notable recitals. "His great art and absolute musicianship have carried him to such heights that be Is, as a recital and concert artist, without a peer." May Peterson, another one of the artists, needs no introduction to Port land audiences. Helen Stover, soprano. Is an Amer ican artist possessing a voice of con trol and dramatic power. Under the famous Ysaye, conductor, she was soloist with the Cniclnnati Bymphons orchestra on tour and n Cincinnati.

EXECUTIVES of civic organiza tions of the principal cities of the United States were asked their opinions as to the most valuable assets of a city, as nearly Ideal as they think it could be made, by George K. Allen, secretary of the Louisville Publicity league. P. Hetherton, as sistant secretary of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, replied that Portland is the best ideal he has found. His answer is as follows: "Our own city, Poitland, Or., Is as near an ideal City as I have been ac quainted witb. Like human beings It has its faults. For instance, its streets are too narrow. The street car tracks instead of being standard gauge are narrow gauge. It might have more diagonal streets so as to help traffic conditions. "Portland being my ideal city may be described as follows: It is located, at the bottom of the Willamette val ley and on the Columbia river, which drains an immense trade territory. It is estimated at 250.000 square miles. The city is 100 miles from the sea, the Willamette and Columbia rivers being navigable to the largest seagoing ves sels into the heart of the city. The city is surrounded by lands which row all necessary foodstuffs. Poton tial waterpower is in abundance. Iron ore is available. The largest remain ing stand of marketable timber sur rounds us. Great ranges are available for cattle and sheep Opportunities for outdoor life, hunting. . camping, mountain climbing and swimming are unlimited. Tlje opportunities for in dustrial growth are also unlimited. Oregon, at the present time has a pop ulation of only .780,000 people. With the development of its lands by both Irrigation and drainage, this popula tion cannot help but Increase within the next few years to three times that amount. This means great growth for the city. "The climate is Ideal. We have on the average 46 Inches of rain a year. practically no high winds and plenty of sunshine. The inhabitants of this city and the surrounding country are. for the most part, Americans, con siderable of them being long time, set tlers of this region. The men who work in the mills and shops are the very highest types of American citi zens. A large majority of them are home owning. There appears to be no radicalism in labor or, at least, if there is it is' held in place by the conservative element. "The city is well equipped with schools, colleges and institutions of higher learning, including the various arts. Our public library is second to none in the country, and the city is aiso well equipped with churches. Our newspapers stand high in the ranks of American papers. "vvitn an this, tnererore, don t you think that we have almost an ideal city? A fine climate, plenty of op portunity for outdoor life, opportunity for advancement and an American population.'; NEWS OF THE MOVIE THEATERS (Continued Prom Fasre 4.) "iilue Danube Waltz," J.

MAJESTIC HAS BEACH SHOW Harry Beaumont Has Triumph In "Going Some." "Going Some," the latest Rex Beach production, which is showing this week at the Majestic was directed try Harry Beaumont, who was formerly director of Tom Moore. The story is based on the stage success written bv Rex Beach in collaboration with Paul Armstrong and which Mr. Beach later rewrote as a novel. "Going Some" deals with the sport ing feud between two rival ranches in the great southwest, where a Yale athlete comes out of the east and is called on to live up to his reputation, win the prize and win the glrL Spouting oil wells and the struggle for wealth form a picturesque back ground. Three girls , figure in the sporting events and the life of the hero. "Going Some" lives up to its name in regular Rex Beach style. Of the three girls in the cast Lillian Hall and Helen Ferguson have been selected. Miss Hall was a Brooklyn high school girl who gained her stock experience in Philadelphia and then began her screen career.

COLUMBIA HAS XEW ORGAX "Don t Lver Marry" Secured as Extra Attraction for Week To open the new Columbia theater $30,000 orchestral Hope - Jones unit organ, ready for public use this week, the Marshall Neilan comedy, "Don't Ever Marry," has been chosen. Wesley Barry, freckle-faced and lovable, Mab Moore and Marjorie Daw are among those starred. Deep trouble for the people In volved, which was farcical humor for spectators, developed in Elmfield, a little country village, in which the action of "Don't Ever Marry" takes place, due to the plans of a pretty maid to avoid a marriage upon which her mother has insisted. She enlisted the aid of the best friend of the man she really loved. Her plan was simple. She would announce that she had married the friend. Ergo, no other, marriage was possible. After the an nouncement she planned to go to her own home for the night to pack. He was to go to a hotel. The next day she would accompany him to New York, where he had accepted a posi tion. There they would separate, she going to the home of a friend until her true lover could come to claim her. The plan is complicated at the start because the young man whom she has selected to play the role of husband has secretly married on the day he is to assums the role. The announce ment is made, however, and then the plans go all wrong. Her excuse to go home to pack is brushed aside as nonsense, and the couple are conduct ed by an Impromptu wedding, party to his rooms in the hotel, and left there to begin their honeymoon. The secret bride has seen them taken to the hotel. The girl Is pretty, But why attempt to describe the com plications that ensue when Marshall Neilan has depicted them with all their humor in a motion-picture pro duction entitled "Don't Sver Marry."

New Steamship Line, Direct From New Orleans, La., Suggested by Shipping Agent. CONSTANTIN OPLE, Sept. 25. Americans are gradually preparing to avail themselves of .trade opportuni ties which will present themselves as soon as conditions become more set tled in southern Russia and the Cau casus. The' Guaranty Trust company of New York opens its Constantinople branch, the first American bank in the Levant, this month. The American foreign trade corporation has sold its shipping department to an American organization called the Black Sea cor poration. B. J. Booth Jr., formerly representative of the United States shipping board in Constantinople, is head of the new corporation, which has chartered several ships for the Black sea trade, and is designed pri marily to assemble freight from the Japanese Flan Aviation Ground. TOKIO. The naval authorities have decided to establish a navy aviation ground near Nanao In Echlgo prov ince. The establishment will be com pleted within the present year when it is expected that to connection therewith, a military road will be con structed from Tokio to the coast of the Japan sea. North Is Home for. Animals. CALGARY, Alta. That all north ern Canada should be a sanctuary for wild animals is the advice of H. A. Conway, inspector of Indian agencies In the far north. various ports of the Black sea and make It available for larger American ships at Batum for Constantinople. Admiral Mark Bristol, American high commissioner. Is greatly Inter ested in the development of American trade in this field which has been abandoned by Germany and Austria. Twelve American firms are already established thoroughly in Constanti nople, and ten others have agencies which promise to develop Into perma nent organizations. So far the Amer ican ships have not made regular schedules in the near east, with the result 4hat their business has been unsatisfactory In many cases. In a recent report to the state de partment. Admiral Bristol submitted a suggestion of F. A. Tlmmerman, an American shipping agent In Constan tinople, that a direct line between New Orleans and the Levant would doubtless be profitable. He would have such a line call in Cuba, Spain, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, South Russia, Georgia and Turkey. It is argued that the proposed line between New Orleans and Black sea ports would afford a more direct line than now exists for the shipment of coffee and other South and Central American products to the near east In combination with shoes, hardware, machinery and 'various other manu factured products from the Mississippi valley, which. Americans hope, will permanently replace German and Aus trian goods In this market. Hamburg formerly furnished the Levant most of its coffee. Germany an? Austria together in pre-war times supplied the Black sea area with most of Its manufactured goods, but such goods were pouring In here In large quantities from America before ex change became so unfavorable. Sup plies of this sort could readily be bent from Mississippi valley points through New Orleans In the opinion of Mr. Tlmmerman and, on their .return trip, ships could carry Iron ore and manganese from the Black sea as a heavy cargo, together with wool, car pets, tobacco, licorice root, dried fruits and other products of the Levant.
