T EE PEARL, manager of the Baker Stock company, has re turned from visiting a dozen or more other managers of stock the aters along the Pacific coast and in the northwest and Canada. In some Instances the companies are already rehearsing and others, like the Baker, will open the first week in Septem ber. "I found a genuine effort on the part of managing employers to get together with the actor employe for the mutually wise preservation of a workable plan for co-operation this year," sa.id Mr. PearL "There have been many feverish and excited 'offi cial statements," so called, and gos sip is rife concernnlg managers' dif ficulties and the status of the player as now affected by organized labor affiliations. Whatever may bo the difficulties of touring companies and Broadway producers, I find there is no bitterness in the merry war going on out here In the theatrical camp, insofar as the stock companies are concerned, and that the relation of the stock manager to the stock actor is still one of friendliness and good sense. Many and certain mutual con cessions and agreements make this footing possible. The success of every city of the size of Portland depends to a greater or less extent upon the success of its theaters and amusements," says Mr. Pearl. "Merchants, hotel men, manufacturers, bankers and large commercial employers in every city of size declare that the prosper ity of the theater is essential to both the happiness and the business suc cess of all cities and towns. We of the Baker theater are optimistic and are going ahead, Just as in other years. Our company members for the new season are arriving in Port land and will take up their residences here, becoming Integral part3 of the public, s-pending the money they earn right here in Portland- Stock play ers are essentially home people, and audiences come to know and admire their regular weekly entertainers. The social side of the contact with womanly women and- worth-while men of the stag has a positive value in a city like Portland, and our play ers are chosen with a thought of their personal and social qualifica tions, along with their professional abilities." The Baker is opening for the sea son on September 4 in "The Won derful Thing." The personnel of the new company at the Baker includes -the names of some of the best-liked players of for mer seasons and several names en tirely new to Portlanders. Among these is the leading woman, Marjorie Foster, whose work is especially well known through the cast, where she has played extensive engagements Selmer Jackson, a likeable and depend able leading man, returns for this sea. son, and Walter B. Gilbert starts into his tenth season as stage director of the Baker company. His first aid this season is Lawrence Keating, whose father, L. C. Keating of Keating & Flood, is one of the best-known the atrical men on the Pacific coast. Lora Rogers, a favorite here, re turns to play her comedy character roles and grand dames and George P. Webster is another whose returning will be welcomed. Leo Lijidhard, Wil liam (Billy) Lee and Irving Kennedy all will be again with the Baker players. Two of the new players are Ran kin Mansfield, who will play juvenile roles, and George B. Klbbee. who is a character comedian. Jane Gilroy will be the second woman and Mayo Methot, whose work last year steadily increased in excellence, and whose youth and gifts have made her one of the most beloved of an array of Baker ingenues, again will fill that position with the Baker players. Vir ginia Richmond has been added as the fifth woman. Out In Chicago, before the Tri-State Dramatic league, F. Ziegfeld Jr. es sayed to tell the members what's wrong with the good old drama. ' "The most important function of a theatrical producer," he declared, "is to keep faith with the pubiic. The Follies' in New York is playing to capacity business at $5 a seat. People know I give them the best entertain ment possible and they prefer to pay $5 for the real thing rather than a cheaper price for a spurious imita tion. Actors' salaries must come down before there can be a change in prices. I am at present paying seven per formers $1000 a week." Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Douglas have created various dance arrange ments with children on the stage, and have come to be known among the foremost producers of this kind of acts in America. The tiny little folk they have gathered together this sea son come to Pantages as the headline attraction, opening Monday. Other standard acts will be on the bill, in cluding Carlton Emmy and his "Mad Wags" and "Santuccl," the chromatic accordionist. On the new bill at the Hippodrome is Frank Shepard, who, with his comedian helper, puts on a clever act of magic, in which the assistant ex poses each straight bit of magic Shep ard does. Rita Shirley, character songstress and child imitator, is also on the bill. The Orpheum is scheduled to open September 11, and the Lyric opening, while not definitely announced, prob ably will be September 4. IVAXCERS TOP P.VXTAGIES BIIL "Artists in Miniature" Accompan ied by Elaborate Settings. Douglas Dancers" will return as the headline attraction on the new bill opening at Pantages matinee to morrow. Their act bears the title of "Artists in Miniature," all dancing numbers being new and different. Several elaborate stage settings are required and the electrical effects and costuming are said to surpass anything Mr. and Mrs. Douglas have ever attempted. A surprise in animal acts is prom ised with Carlton Emmy's troupe of Mad Was," as he terms his canine actors. The frisky terriers, all well trained, go about their work as though at play and the comedy chat ter of Mr. Emmy counts for much of the success this act has enjoyed. Santuccl. the chromatic accordion is-t, ia due with an appealing musical programme this week, playing opera tic, military and popular selections. Mr. Santuccl was awarded the grand prize over all the accordionists from every part of the world at the Pan ama-Pacific exposition in 1915. Shelton Brooks, popular song writer, will also be in the new show, singing some of his own spngs, giv ing an original monologue and danc ing some amusing steps. Jack and Marie Gray, two versatile vaudevil lians, have a new offering said to be unusually pleasing. Their big novel ty stunt is "The Dancing Kewpies. Scamp and Scamp, horizontal bar performers 3oing comedy pantomime and some spectacular thrills, is one more of the good things promised on the new bill.

XX Thrills of flying were enjoyed by Hawaiians centuries before avia tion was 'nvented, according to stories told by natives of today. Their ancestors got their aerial ex citement by jumping off cliffs into the ocean in home-made "planes." They made a regular game of it. known as "lele pali" or "Jumping from the cliff." It was played up to 100 years or so ago by natives who lived near groves of loulu palms near high cliffs overlooking the ocean. Details of the game have been obtained by William J. Coehlo. i former newspaper editor now an offi cer of the Haleona Alii Hawaii (House of Chiefs). This is what he says of the vanished sport: The game was played with huge contrivances built of light but stout sticks and overwoven with loulu palm leaves. Several of these af fairs were made ready, the Hawaiian viators - took their seats and were pushed over towering cliffs at the same time. The adventurer who re mained longest in the air was the winner. Often through carelessness or ex citement a "plane would execute a nose dive s'milar to those of 20th century airplanes. The only damage was the loss of the game. Old Hawaiians say that their fly ing men were exceptionally skillful. The only means they had of guiding their crude appliances was to shift their weight to maintain balance they zigzagged down toward the sea. A fleet of outrigger canoes anchored offshore to pick up the sportsmen and retrieve the "planes. Exceptionally daring .Hawaiians often hopped off 1000-foot cliffs on the mainland, it Is said. - jV-?. - ' - - - r ( fee A v v I i I..-- ! II - . w New Bills at the Movies. (Continued From Page 2.)

For the first time In the history of the asso ciatlon California will entertain the 26th -annual convention of insurance agents here September 13 to 17. Ten thousand delegates are expected to attend." Among the speakers who have agreed to appear are John B. Morton, president of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, and Piatt Whit man, insurance Commissioner of Wis consin. Dinners, informal dances, sight-seeing rides, the usual trip "to see them make movies," a barbecue and visits to the beaches are includ ed in the entertainment programme. ment in the establishment of "Hash House Sal." She loses this position through her devotion to drunken Jim Piatt. Then from scrubwoman in saloon she goes to the Salvation Army. How she effects the salvation or ner Jim, after he ia released from prison, constitutes the dramatic denouement of this extraordinary photoplay. Pauline Stark, a talented interpreter of emotional parts, has the title role. She is seen as the plucky little bal- vation Army lass who, after many vi cissitudes, makes the man of her own heart go straight. The production is said to be the most pretentious yet made at tne Whitman Bennett etudio. It was filmed under the direction of Kenneth Webb, who was responsible for some of the recent screen successes star ring Lionel Barrymore. ARTISTS AND WRITERS WORK HARD AT MOWELL jCOLONY Musicians, Playwrights and Composers Both of Melodies and Literary Successes Laborfeg at Peterborough, N. H. BT EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. (Special.) While this is the season of rest and vacation for many, there is one spot in the New England states where there is more serious work accomplished than In any other place of like size in the United States. That spot is Peterborough, N. H., or to be more exact it is the MacDowell association colony, which has been Brought into magnificent working order by Mrs. MacDowell. She has created something which will be as great a monument to herself as to the illustrious husband in whose memory she has done it. This colony has gained a reputation far and wide, but no one who has not partake of its marvelous op portunities can realize what it actually represents. In the heart of the beautiful New Hampshire woods, in the face of Monadnock, dearly be loved mountain of all New Eng landeis, the MacDowell colony flour ishes summer after summer, bring ing respite from the harships of work in the city for those who depend upon their brains, creative imaginations and quiet for the results which will brirog honor not only to themselves, but which will give America the place it deserves in the cultural world. JHard Work Done. That this is no place for rest need not be told again, for the story of how the MacDowell association came to be does not need the re-telling at this late date. The work is almost unbroken from early morn until sun down,, the colonists dispersing after the morning meal Into the many di rections leading to the splendid little studios in the woods, each sufficiently removed from the other to be thoroughly isolated. -That the day should have no break, lunch is left at each door at noon, and each studio Is so furnished that the occupant has a luxurious couch for the rest that he or she may need, and there are always the wonderful woods into which and "through which one may wander when the mind or the eyes grow a bit wearied. Those who come hardly need in spiration, for most of them have un limited work that must be finished with delicacy of touch and away from sordid influences, but for those whose Imaginations are in need of the least warmth, the slightest fanning, of coals into flames, there are count less corners and things conducive to daydreams which resolve them selves into tangible form. Noted Person Present. Taking into consideration the operating costs and the size of liv ing accommodations, it is a great privilege to be permitted to spend a season In this paradise for crea tive workers, where eome of the most noted personages of the world have been found this summer. Musical art is represented by only four or live i composers this year, but when one may head the list with Mrs. H.-H. A. Beach, it Is significant of the quality of workers at the MacDowell colony. This great woman has been an incen tive to many for the greater part of her life, and surely the workers of the MacDowell colony have had some of their greatest inspiration from her presence, the earnestness of her work and the simplicity of her life. Among the many manuscripts she is taking back to her home in Hills boro are two that she captured from the hermit thrush who, attracted to her studio window, gave her some of the loveliest motives which she embodied into sketches called "Morn ing" and "Evening." Mrs. Beach knows how-to listen to the music of nature, and she knows tiow to pass it on to others. One of the greatest delights offered the colonists and their guests this season was the afternoon in Mrs. Beach's studio when she played the new works written in Peterborough this summer, some of the favorites requested by her audience, and she was gracious enough to play a new prelude for the left hand written for her by Marion Bauer, also a MacDowell colonist. Mrs. Beach has been occupying the one studio planned for events of this nature, as there is a Steinway grand piano and the furnishings are more elaborate. This is known as the Regina Watson studio, presented to the colony by Miss Cornelia G. Lunt, Mrs. Frederic S. Coolidge, Mrs. Will lam Loomts, Mrs. J. Rosenwald, Mrs A. A. Sprague, Miss Margaret Lunt Moulton, Mr. August Blum and Mr. Clarence M. Woolley. Marion Bauer is again in the Pine studio, where she is devoting her self to composition which to a great extent is denied her during her days of busy teaching in winter. "The Epitaph of a Butterfly," published by Ditson; "Night in the Woods" and "Roses Breathe in the Night," pub lished by Schlrmer within the last few weeks, were among her works of last summer at Peterborough, while Arthur P. Schmidt is bringing out this fall a number of songs and piano pieces also of that period. She is devoting herself largely to writing for the piano this summer and to re vising and editing the sonata for piano and violin written last season The Pine studio, which as its name indicates nestles among the pines. is a gift from some or tne Jiidward A MacDowell pupils and is constantly cared for by them so far as furnish lngs are concerned. Fannie Dillon Writing. Fannie Dillon, a brilliant and rising young composer of Los Angeles, I occupying the Loft studio, where sh Is adding to a goodly number of fin piano works with which she, has wo a distinguished place ln'a very shor time. It is not too great a claim t say that Miss Dillon has written som of the most virile and finest things that have been composed for piano I America, and, it may be remembered that she was represented on the pro gramme of American compositions played by Josef Hofmann. and that Percy Grainger and Edwin Hughea have placed numbers by Miss Dillon consistently on their programmes for the sheer -merit and charm of these works. Mable Daniels, another well-known and highly talented composer of Bos ton, is due to spend September in work at the MacDowell colony. Among noteworty works by Miss Daniels may be mentioned the first erformance of "Allegretto for trings From Bal Suite," by the Boston Symphony orchestra. May 25 nd June 1, 1920, and two songs to oems by William Dean Howells, given at the Howells" memorial meet- ng, Boston Authors club. Novem ber 19. Besides the several women com posers in Peterborough this season is Arthur Nevln, who is part and parcel of this life. In addition to the music he is preparing for his pub lishers, he is planning for the series of symphony- concerts that he is to give in Memphis, Tenn., next fall, re hearsals for which will be under way early in September. Poet Among Residents. Another standby of the colony la Edwin Arlington Robinson, one of the most noted of the poets of the day. Mr. Robinson spends hardly less than five months In the most steady sort of writing. Padralc Colum, an other noted poet, and his wife Molly Colum, also a writer, are among the unusually busy ones preparing fall publications. Maxwell Bodenheim, whose name is known wherever the modern radical school of poetry is recognized, is another to draw new inspirations from the freshness of his surroundings, this being his first visit to the MacDowell colony. Among those still to come are Louis Anspacher and his brilliant wife, for merly Katherlne Kidder, while new arrivals include Babette Deutsch. who has won some reputation as a writer of modern verse and essays, one of her latest articles having appeared in the July number of the Schirmer Musical Quarterly. Miss Deutsch, in private life Mrs. Abram Yarmo linsky, is accompanied by her hus band, also a writer. Edwin Carty Ranck. playwright, and his wife, the writer, Reita Lambert Ranck, have just concluded their stay and have returned to New York. Mr. Ranck will be remembered for his delight ful three-act comedy, "Blind Mice," produced by the American Academy of Dramatic Aarts at the Lyceum the ater last year. Playwright Is Colonist. Another plawright of charm as an Individual no less than in his work is Frederick Ballard, known to lovers of laugh by his "Believe Me, Xantippe. Mr. Ballard has been "colonist" for several seasons and the colony would not be the same without him. An unusually large number of young men who have re turned' to their literary labors and careers after having served their country are at the colony this year. Among these may be mentioned Hervey Allen, who is writing some trenchant poetry since his return from the front. Dixie Selden, the portrait artist from Cincinnati, is finishing some Library Employes Enjoy Summer Vacations. Trips to Alaska, Canada, the East and to California Taken. MBERS of the staff of the Port- from their vacation trips, which have taken them to interesting points all over the United States.

Miss Constance BOY ACTOR STAR HEADLl X ER Jackie Coogan Will Play Lead in ''Peck's Bad Boy. "Peck's Bad Boy," starring Jackie Coogan, six-year-old motion picture celebrity, is the screen feature at the Star. The little youngster who carved niche in the hearts of all picture fans who saw him as "The Kid ' is seen in another fine role. In this screen version of the vol umes of the late ucorge w. feou, Jackie is seen a-s an all-around Amer ican . lad who is constantly making trouble by his Ingenuous boyish pranks. How he manages to get to the circus at the expense and mortification of his ""Pa," causes the escape of a Hon and general furore at the tent show and throws a church into an uproar by introducing a collection of live ants, are some of the high-lights in this comedy.

IV VRKI E PLAY CIRCLE FE.1TCRE "Sentimental Tommy" Outstanding Picture of Present Year. . S'r James M. Barrie's "Sentimental Tommy," which has proved one of the outstanding pictures of the year, will be shown at the Circle today and Monday. The story begins with Tommy'a en trance with his sister Elspeth to the Scotch village of Thrums and his rescue of Grizel from a crowd of youngsters who are throwing stones at her. It gives many episodes show ing Tommy's flights of imagination which are humorous and wholesome. The story takes Tommy and Grizel to maturity, when Grizel becomes de mented after she finds her childhood sweetheart with another woman in his arms. The closing scenes are dramatic and full of heart Interest. In the title role is Gareth Hughes, a young Welsh actor, whose brilliant histr'onlc ability has made him one of the best juveniles of the stage, and who was suggested unanimously for the trying role of Tommy. He h put his best into this part. For the role of Grizel, the intense, serious sweetheart of Tommy, May McAvoy, one of the most promising young actresses, was chosen. "The Painted Lady" serves to introduce Mabel Tali aferro, stage and screen star, at her best. George Fawcett. a veteran screen actor, is Dr. McQueen. The art department of Paramount pictures "built an exact reproduction of the village of Thrums, which is really Kirriemuir, from photographa The village was erected near Elm hurst, L. I., and it was so accurate that one could easily Imagine it was Scotland. 1 HILE the women of the occi-1 dent are heaping laurels on themselves for their progress In business, politics and world affairs, the swarthy skinned daughters of the orient are not far behind them in the matter of feminism, for more and more each day the east is west. At least In that section of the world from whence hails Princess Fatima. sultana of Kabul, who wears in the right side of her nose a wnlte sapphire and who says she traces ner ancestry back to Alexander tihe Great. The princess and her three sons have just arrived in this country from Afghanistan and are giving many Americans their first opportunity to compare a real "Arabian Nights'" sultana with the comic opera variety of which we are almost solely familiar. As the granddaughter of his majesty Amir Mohammed Khan, the ex-ruler and cousin of the present heir, now absolute monarch of that land, the princess Is the sultana, or ruler of Kabul, the chief city of the war-like country. Sultana Ia Interested. Being on her first visit to this land she is vitally interested in everything pertaining to American women, cities. amusements and customs. And as she sums it up New York, the great met ropolis of the western world, differs not a great deal in many respects from Kabul. To show that the east ls literally west after all, the princess -dreses as nearly like our American women as it is possible for an oriental grand dame to do. Her feet are encased in flinty patent leather pumps of western style with low heels and chic little silver bucWles. She long ago aban doned pajamas, which oriental women are supposed to wear, and yet she still adheres to the very short skirt which the wpmen of the harem have always worn. Thus she shows as great an expanse of silk stockings as any Broadway flapper, and her stockings are of a design that would bring envy to the eyes of any self-same flapper. Her manner of dressing her hair is also occidental. Cerise Coatnme Worn. The costume she wore was of bro caded cerise with gold lace trimmings. About her head and draped down over her shoulders until it almost reached the floor was a bright green veil, flecked with gold and edged with lace. Evidently the girls of Afghanis tan take full advantage of cosmetics as an aid to beauty, as her eyebrows were heavily painted In sweeping lines, while a tiny beauty spot Just between her eyes tended to add to her oicturesqueness. She informed the writer when he saw her at the royal suite in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. New York city, that she liked our women's short skirts so well that she was going to purchase a complete American ward robe in the near future. And to demonstrate further that she is an extremely modern princess, her highness while In this country Is to have a diamond of 150 carats wnicn she has with her and which for cen turles has adorned the turbans of rulers, set according to the latest die tates of dame fashion in a lavalierre Gem la Romantic.

According to oriental custom, the princess was married young, when she was only 11 years old, and she now acknowledges to 34 years.

He has spent six months in the army and the last year In school in India. He speaks very good English as seven years of his studies in Kabul was under the direc tion of English tutors. The prince, after leaving this country, will go to Oxford university. England, to study engineering. Accompanying him are his two younger brothers, the Prince Mohammed Azim, 17 years of age. and the little Prince Mohammed Akbar. who is 12. Prince Azim will join his brother at Oxford while Princp Akbar Is going to attend a "prep" school in England, either Elton, or Harrow, or Rugby. It was a hot thirsty afternoon and the first question asked the princess seemed natural. . Prohibition Held Natural. "What do I think of prohibition V she laughingly replied in answer to this question. "Why it is nothing new to us. Prohibition has been in force In our land for many hundreds of years. By and by the habit of drink ing will also become obsolete in this country to the betterment of your fu ture generations." The prim-ess then gave her views on some other current topics. She let It be known that she is greatly interested in the advance of women, education and other problems of the 20th century. "Mother love is the most beautiful thing in the world," she said, "but that does not prevent a world in which women can work side by side with men. I am greatly interested in the education of women, and, am heartily in favor of the opening of a woman's college In our country such as is being considered by our present ruler."
