If it were possible to lay a sure finger on the pulse of public taste there would be fewer failures to tell , the 'tale of experiment, but the style of entertain ment changes as do the fashions and it in' tha contention of some local motion picture men that the fad shifts j. from month to month. To find out what the public really wants in motion pictures the Motion Picture Story magazine has been mak ing Inquiry along this line with inter rc.MitM of tha 15.000 return postali cards sent out to patrons of motion plctureH. 6381 answer that they j ..n.y.r m..nini and &062 prefer single. reels.

M. studio a five reel dramatlo picture dealing with Imaginary 1850 conditions is in process of making by Romaine Fielding. Three aviators with their dirigible biplanes and monoplanes were engaged in a thrilling fight in the air, one of the big spectacles in the picture. Two thousand supers were used, among whom could be found the entire roll of the Elks' lodge of Las Vegas. The members turned their earnings rn lonH 1ib buildlna of a new B. P. O. E. clubhouse. A holiday was declared in h. town and the entire population turned out to witness the strange and thrilling scene. As regards the taking of noted per sons, especially royalty, an unique mo inn ntcture record is held by E. M Newman, traveler and lecturer. He has been granted the privilege of pho tmrrftnhlni Czar Nicholas of Russia, Queen Wilhelmlna her consort and the Trincess ' Juliana of Holland; King George of England, Emperor Francis Jnnnnh of Austria. Emperor William of Germany on board his private yacht during a naval review at .Kiel, the Ma hnrnia. or Jalnur In India and many others. Kx-Presldent Roosevelt, while on his famous expedition in British East Africa, permitted Mr. Newman to "take", his picture. Last summer President Poincare of France and King Alphonso of Spain posed especially for him while the latter was visiting in Pari, and he also took a most Inter estlne- picture of the Italian-royal family at play in the garden of the palace near Rome. But of all tha fa- . tnoua neonle he has "moviea, Mr, Newman Is .proudest because of the rarity of such a privilege or tne mo tion picture of Pope Pius walking in the garden or tne Vatican. t Two interesting changes, 'especially to the Pacific Northwest, have Just taken nlace In the Mutual Corporation A.

This remarkable result is brought about by optical combinations which as yet have not been made public. The illusion is heightened by electric de rices of an improved kind for working phonograph together with the mov ing picture machine so that it always keeps In step, and the words or music are reproduced at exactly the same time as the gestures. It is said that the new apparatus does this with great perfection. the Famous The latest star whom Players company has taken Into its ranks Is none other than Arnold Daly, who will be Introduced to the motion picture public in "The Port of Miss ing Men," by Meredith Nicholson. The high prised decoration, the Le sion of Honor, has been! tendered by the French government to cnaries Pathe. head of the great motion pic ture company of that name. This is the second time the decoration nas Deen offered and now his friends have pre vailed upon Mr. Pathe to accept it. Modesty prompted his first refusal. j Oeorce Hall of the Universal Is try lng a new "slant" on the white slave Question and Is producing a two real travesty on It. The play starts out as a melodrama and suddenly turns into burlesque. Mrs. Stuart Robson, one of the weightiest actresses on the taa-e or screen, plays tne abaucteu eountry maiden. Several horses, pigs, three trained goats, a codk and a wild west show are used in the picture. Jack Kohler, champion jong distance roller skater. Is seen in an Important part and does a number Of remarkable stunts among which is comings down the steps of Morningside Park, New York. Japan Is introducing into Its school nvstem motion pictures as a means of luxation, especially In the lower grades. ' the moving picture theatre is as legit imate per se as ia that devoted to the most classical productions must do so on grounds of commercialism, for they can not do so on the grounds j either of art or of value to the theatre as an institution." Such is a portion of the utterance made by Mrs. Fiske who has recently appeared before the camera in a film production of "Teas of the D'Urber villes." Mrs. Fiske had long been in terested in the motion picture move ment but she approached the actual work more In a? spirit of curiosity than anything else. "But as soon as I began the work, an astonishingj thing happened," says the great actress. "Almost Immedi ately I felt an absorbing sense of something new; and strange and won derful. With ia.ll my soul I disagree with Madame Bernhardt, who declares that there can! be but little art in tne moving picture! play. The silent drama will not supplant the spoken play, but will take a I place or its own as a new and beautiful art an art in some respects morei ethereal and delicate than that of the conventional arama, can ever be. i Will Become Inspired. "When actors begin to understand this new and wonderful art and its Dossibilities. they will become nobly inspired with the beauty or us envir onment and the reach of its oppor tunities. They will find something nobler. Durer. simpler said loftier than anything they lever can find in the ar tificial atmosphere or tne meaire, where there is disillusionment on every side. We are now witnessing only tne first crude manifestations of this new art, but out of the confusion and lack of real understanding its great poten tial beauties will emerge. Some day it should and I believe It will com mand the genius of such poets aa Maeterlinck. The opportunities that the moving gentleman, to whose name were P pended several scholarly degrees, thought a few minutes. Then he an swered, "That big chariot race sign." Of the thousands who watched it nightly, few appreciated the technical complexity behind this display, says the Edison Monthly. Six hundred horsepower were required to speed the chariots, as depicted by 20,000 bulbs. Nearly 600,000 feet of wire and 70,000 connections were necessary to pro duce the different combinations gov erned by more than 2 5 OA flasher switches. Undoubtedly a remarkably ingenious mechanism, the chariot race became a night landmark for the en tire city. Demolition of this sign Is caused by the erection of a skyscraper next door, so that Its 73 feet of height would be concealed from general view. Thus passes into memory one of the mmt famoua electric signs in the world. . ' FUNCTION OF PRODUCER to Keep play balanced "There are two schools of producers,1 St. John Ervine. the famous British critic said recently. "There are those who allow the actors to do as they please with theli parts and there are those who think out the enure action of the clay and drill the actors into their "business like soldiers. The first method is" the old one, and it is sed bv producers such as Rosina inuppl the second method is modern, ana is used by Granville Barker, "The function of the producer la to keen .the balance of a play, and this can only be done by the actors being subject to. the producer. A play can nnt Km nrniTmreri bv dmocratio means the balance carmot be kept if each played Is permitted to make his own part. An actor, although playing ex tremely well, may ruin a play; he may give importance to a minor character .tM atyi th. fnrrA et a. rrin picture will open to the actor are in-; OJ. ne may unJerplay a part comparable. ;By watching the film , con8eauence and thus let down' the Pathe's Weekly Is now on a never before attempted in the motion picture news buslnes. A number of changes have recently been made tend ing to put it on a real newspaper foot ing, among them the securing of a press association man for the position of editor and the Installation of a pri vate telegraph wire, but now it is an nounced that the most Important step of all has been taken and that con tracts have been closed with the United Press for their complete news service. Such an arrangement Is , unique in moving picture annals and i no other manufacturer will be able to I secure this service as It is exclusive j with Pathe. The contracts have been made on a cooperative basis whereby Pathe's Weekly camera men may also serve the United Press as occasions require. This will insure to a large degree motion pictures of Important events as they are happening and which means much additional interest. With the large force of "Weekly" camera men scattered over tha United Etatea and several who will soon be aent to Canada practically every event of Interest can be covered by the aid of the United Press Service. The Weekly now boasts of camera men In every country in the world. "Universal Ike" is the new name chosen for Augustus Carney, now of the Universal. Universal Ike, one of the best known screen cowboys, will be featured in the future with the Joker brand and his first comedy will be "Universal Ike Gets a Goat." In the contest for the selection of a new title for Mr. Carney, the prise was won by Ronald Manson of Terre Haute, Ind. In addition to the name he suggested the phrase: "There's a universal liking for Universal Ike." Over 800 sugges tions were received during the two weeks of the contest and six special prizes were awarded. Breeding skunks probably would not impress the average person as a de sirable occupation. Yet the Kalem has made an Industrial picture of a skunk farm on Long Island where the busi ness has proved both profitable and harmless. Strange to say, the skunk In captivity is a docile, affectionate . creature. Care must bo taken, how ever, that these animals are not fright- pnrd.

STAGE BEAUTIES NOT WONDERFUL ACTRESSES David Belasco has given utterance to the somewhat startling statement that the beautiful woman never makes the wonderful actress. "For purposes of the stage," he states. "I, don't care at all for the beau tlful girl. She has been told that to retain her beauty she must not give way to temperamental outbursts. She lina a harrowing fear that lines will come In her face and to keep them off as long as possible she refrains from expressing her feelings at all. o that her face has no expression and is nothing but a beautiful mask." , V W f -v X t w rv v ms$ vr .ill YIS&AY -' v ' k';wf;'uw ki j i m , v - w c vx 1 1 k in i i Club, Formed fbur Years Ago, Now Has: Member ship of 100.

The city of Berlin has set aside $80,000 for the parpose of purchasing radium and maintain ing the city radium commission, the latest administrative Dureau inaugur ated in the municipality. The in creased scope of radium in medicine led to the establishment of the com mission in order that the municipality might have an available supply of tha costly metal for publlo use. Six hundred milligrams of radium bromide have been purchased at a cost of $95 per milligram. This will be delivered to the city m glass tubas, each holding 60 milligrams. In the purchasing contract. It was also stipu lated that If after 10 years there is a marked decrease in the activity of the radium the company from whom It Is purchased agrees to replace it with a new supply. The commission -also has arranged to rent 200 milligrams of mesothorl um at- a monthly rental of $2.50 per milligram. The adjacent municipali ties of Charlottenberg and Scnoene- berg hava made similar arrangements. GREEN HAIR WAS IN STYLE 100 YEARS AGO i joy r . mj.

" Comparatively few of Portland's citizens have any conception of the scope of the work .of our org anizatlon." The Portland Seaman's Friend So ciety, which is a branch of the nation al organization whose headquarters are In New York City, was organized No vember 4, 1877, and was Incorporated July; 31, 1878.

Roper. "They are scattered all over the world. Portland Is still a missionary field and Is supported by contributions secured In the east. 1 nat we are npt well supported is evidenced by the fact that I am not only chaplain mt , lanitor. and my duties Include visiting the ships, conducting services and scrubbing the floors of our chapel, reading room and game room.
