IT is significant that motion pictures
have found their way into , the
Woman's Home Companion under a
department head of "The Movement
for Better Films." The Companion
lays emphasis on the point that its
campaign Is not one of criticism, even
though it recognized that there are
unquestionably bad films. The key
note of the campaign for better films
Is "A better educated public demand."
Each month several hundred films
will be submitted to the Companion
in advance of their release to picture
theatres, and from these the editors
will select from 40 to 76 and run their
title as Indication of specially com
mendable productions. The Companion
presents pictures in an interesting
tight, when it says:
. "Suppose In your city a grqup of
- wealthy men should open a series of
private schools to be free to the chil
dren of the community. And suppose
that the children of their own choice
were to begin leaving the regular
schools and attending the new schools
until the attendance at the new out
numbered the old. And suppose again,
that during the progress of this revol
utionary movement the parents of the
city should show so little interest In
the matter that not half of them ever
took the trouble even to visit the new
schools or to inquire what sort of
instruction was offered to their chil
dren there.
"Absurd suppositions, you say, ut
terly impossible; Of course! And
yet think a minute. Within the last
few years there have sprung up In
your community branches of a new
institution which 'draws to itself
very week more young people than
are in the churches on Sunday, more
young people than are in the schools
on week days; an institution whose in
fluence on our young people, in tha
judgment of educators, is second only
to the influence of the family, the
church and the schools, the Institution

potent factor in our Uvea"

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt says of
the film, "I regard it as one of the
most important forces telling for the
betterment of American citizenship in
the future. I am extremely pleased
that this picture drama Is to appear."
Judge Ben B. Lindsey, the noted
juvenile court authority, has. voiced
his approval of the film in the fol
lowing words:
"'It is positively one of the greatest
feature films yet produced In this
countryjIt is not only a fine piece of
work as a motion picture, but It is
also a great production as a real con
tribution to the cause of ajhildhood in
this country As a beautiful story,
wonderfully well acted, and as a pow
erful lesson, not only as to what the
Boy Scout movement had done, but Is
capable of doing, it cannot be too
highly recommended."
The picture will probably be given
a Portland showing at some future
date.
Moving Picture Stars Paid Handsome
Salaries, and It Is Not Stage Money
Sarah Bernhardt Pioneered List With $30,000 Paid Her by the
Famous Players Company ; Mary Pickford in a Class by Herself.
Stage salaries have always been more
or less an Interesting subject of specu
lation with exaggeration generally well
to the fore in many of the tales of
sums received. The same condition
prevails in the picture world wh're ac
tors recompense has grown In propor
tion to the tremendous development of
the industry. From recent figures that
are declared to be accurate it is easy
to account for the influx of dramatic
stars in pictures.
Sarah Bernhardt tops the list with
the $30,000 paid her by the Famous
Players oOmpany for about six weeks'
work. But that was the price for the
opening wedge, for Madame Bernhardt
was the first great dramatic star to
appasr in pictures. Mary Pickford, with
her $3000 a week, is in a class by her
self on the salary question.
Five Thousand Collars Bom Paid.
Five thousand dollars is the usual
sum paid a dramatic star of estab
lished reputation for a film requiring
rive or six weeks time. TSome of the
stars have been known to accept $4000,
and even $3000, if times were espe
cially lean for them. Mrs. Flske and
Kthel Barrymore each received $12,500
for single pictures, and Lillian Russell
received something under $10,000 and
a percentage of the profits of "Wild
fire." A number of the stars receive, in
addition to a stated salary, a percent
age of tha profits on the film above a
certain number of feet issued which
greatly, increases their net earnings.
Some of the legitimate actors also have
Interests in the films. May Irwin con-

ment. "The Birth of a Nation" is the com
plete working out of all the contribu
tory themes in American history upon
which Thomas Dixon founded his fa
mous novel, "The Clansman." More
thap 18,000 persons are employed in
the making of the spectacle, which Its
producers claim is the most stupen
dous undertaking of the kind in the
picture world. A specially written
score that elaborates the various
themes of the story will be played by
a symphony orchestra of 40 pieces.

Production of a Two Seel Play Xs the
Aim of Superintendent Warner of

Gradually picture making is coming
closer home, ftn evidenced by two new
activities. In The Dalles Superintend
ent Warner is to give a priae to the
student of the high school, who sub
mits the best plot. The plot will b
put into scenario form and a cast, se

story before the camera. It Is planned
to make it a two reel production.

tracted for $7000, for appearing in
"Mrs. Black Is Back," together with
royalty. Marie Dresslf-r was to receive
$10,000 and percentage for two pic
tures with the Keystone company.
"Ti life's Punctured Romance" was the
only one made. Annette Kellermann
was paid $600 a week while she played
in "Neptune's Daughter." But she also
had an interest In the picture which
she later sold for $12,000.
The highest salary paid a foreign
dramatic actress to come here to play
in pictures is the $1000 a week that
goes to Betty Nansen. Gaby received
$15,000 for "Her Triumph" with the
Famous Players.
Received taooo a Week.
Pauline Frederick received $2000 a
week and expenses for playing "The
Eternal City" in Rome. Nearly a
month was consumed in making the
picture, and It required 10 days cross
ing each way, so her compensation was
great. John "Bunny was paid $600 a
week and royalties, which brought his
Income up to about $700. An actor of
the recognized standard of George
Fawcett received $2400 t go to Cali
fornia to make one picture, while such
people as Jane Cowl, William and -Dus-tin
Farnum, John Barrymore, Macklyn
Arbuckle, William Courtleigh, and
many others receive less than $4000 a
feature.
Such film favorites as Mary Fuller,
Clara Kimball Young, Florence Law
rence, Ruth Stonehouse, Blanche Sweet,
Norma Phillips and Anita Stewart are
paid from $200 to $600 a week. J.
Warren Kerrigan, Carlyle Blackwell,
Francis X. Bushman, King Baggot, Ar.
thur Johnson, Maurice Costello and
film actors of equal popularity have
salaries that range from $100 to $400.
Another method of payment is used
with legitimate stars of less magni
tude who are paid by the day, with ex
penses. Marguerite Leslie, for in
stance, was paid $50 a day.
At the present time the tendency is
toward a cut in motion picture sal
aries, and for a second picture a legit
imate star is paid less than for the
initial appearance on the screen.
Latest Offering Is
Study of Simplicity
David Balasoo Swings Into STw
zan of Extreme In Stage Pro
ductions. David Belasco, who has led Ameri
can producers In elaborateness of
stage productions and minuteness of
detail, has swung to the opposite ex
treme and made his latest stage offer
ing, "Marie-Odile," a study of sim
plicity. And Belasco further asserts
that this simplicity is to be a feature
of the productions of the future.
"I do not mean," explains Mr.
Belasco, "that there will creep into
our future productions an inadequacy
of scenery or costume, but I am very
sure that the tendency which has been
growing upon us to an over-elaboration
of exoteric detail as distinguished
from esoteric essentials will be
curbed and curtailed. 'Four bare
boards and a passion' never again will
satisfy a cultured .audience as it is
said to have done In an earlier dra
matic day, but we shall steadily make
more demands for the "passion the
grip, the clutch at the heart, in our
plays, and we shall be wisely careful
that nothing, in the external aspects
of our productions interferes or con
flicts with the drama.
"Motion, piclurec plays have said the
last word In scenic accessories by
going straight to nature for thsir
backgrounds and pictures. Jo theat
rical painter can hope to compete suc
cessfully with the unlimited possi
bilities of the limitless out of doors,
so the stage of the future will be
forced and a Jolly good thing, too
to depend upon the dramatic value of
Its offerings and the dramatic art of
the actors who Interpret them."

Ebdensburg, P., Feb. 20. Squire A.
S. Kirsch, of Nlcktown, was sure the
stork, when it came along, would bring
him a daughter, so he could point with

By Fred Lockley.
L. Staff an has recently returned to
Portland , fyom a trip to the Gibson
Desert, in Central Australia. Some
years ago Mr. Staffan wag in the au
tonfobile business in Portland, and put
in operation one of the first heavy
trucks to be operated on Portland's
streets. He has spent most of the
past two years in Australia. He
brought back with him from Australia
a most unique and valuable collection
of gems, consisting of more than 6000
stones. They are Australian opals,
and their values .are from $1.50 to $25
per carat, though they will probably
average around $5 per carat, Before
the breaking out of the European war
practically all of these stones were
marketed In Germany, but the German
gem market has shut down complete
ly. The opals are in the matrix and
are unpolished. When Mr. Staffan
poured out several quarts of uncut
opals on a cloth on the table it looked
as though he had found the end of the
rainbow. Wonderful greens, dark
blues, glints of amber and flashes of
fire radiated from the rough shaped
opals on the table. "Before I went into
the opal mining," said Mr. Staffan, "I
worked for the Australian government
in securing population for Australia.
Australia is about the same size as the
United States, yet Its populatibn is less
than that of New York City. The gov
ernment paid the steamship company
the difference between the regular faro
and the special rate enabling the
steamship company to make a rate
from Portland to Melbourne, Australia,
first class, of $66.75, in place of the
regular rate of $150, while the steer
age rate was reduced to $36. As it
takes 31 days to get to Melbourne, you
can see the expense was approximate
ly $1 a day for a ride of many thou
sands of miles, with board and lodging
on the way. On the breaking oit of
the war last August this rate was abol
ished, and the steamship company ad
vanced the rate $25 over the old rate,
on account of the extra risk.
In Australian Desert.
The central portion of Australia is a
desert. Here and there explorers have
found artesian water, but It has a
brackish taste and is warm and salty.
It Is about 2400 miles from Port Ad
elaide on the north to Port Darwin on
the south, and from each of these ports
the settlement extends inward about
700 miles. It is estimated that in the
interior it takes about 35 acres to sup
port one sheep. In applying to the
government .for a land grant you do
not apply for go many acres; you apply
for so many hundred square miles.
.Armour & Co.. the American meat
packers, recently were given a large
grant by the Australian government.
The government requires, in making a
grant for stock raising purposes, that
at least one beef creature shall be
placed on every 10 square miles. This
does not mean that it takes 10 square
miles to support one steer, but it means
that you cannot hold your grant un
less you have that proportion of stock
on your land.
"In southern Australia the rainfall
is more regular, and the rainfall is sup
plemented by irrigation put in by the
government.
1 "On my recent trip to Australia I
. went from Sydney to Melbourne. From
f Melbourne 1 went by train to the end
t of the road, a little station called Oon-
andetta, a distance of about 70t miles.
From there I took the stage, following
the old continental telegraph line to
Gibson Desert, a distance of about 600
miles more. The government supports
this line to the extent of putting in
water stations where there are no wa
ter holes. The water stations average
from 35 to 40 miles apart. The stand
ard fare at ail of the smaller eating
stations In Australia is tea and bread
and butter, with Jam or marmalade.
I and for dinner roast beef or roast mut-
!ton. The roast beef and mutton of
Australia is probably the best in the
world. The American government re
cently bought 1100 hind quarters of
beef for Honolulu. The Oceanic
Steamship Co. delivers 1600 quarters of
beef each, month at Honolulu, and also
delivers' beef for the American govern
ment at Manila.
"I left the stage at a small mail sta
tion called Wafrens, which is in the
center of the black opal district. Opal
miners start out on the desert with
enough water to last three or four
days, and if their water tank leaks
and leaves them stranded on the des
ert, they have to beat it back to the
station as fast as they can go. The
country around Warrens is very sim
ilar to Death Valley, in our own coun
try. The water In Gibson .Desert costs
a shilling a gallon, or, to put it into
American money, about 26 cents a gal
Ion, The water Is hauled to Warrens
station in metal tanks from a consider
able distance. -
"An interesting thing about this
country Is the fact that the two larg
est gold nuggets ever found were
picked up Just west of the Gibson Des
ert. The largest nugget was called the
Welcome Stranger, and was worth $65,
000. while the other, the Welcome, was
valued at $55,000. Both were surface
nuggets, the Welcome Stranger being
turned up by a cartwheel. It was in
the form of a slab of gold nearly three
feet long.
Australia Is Gem Producer.
"Australia is a remarkable country in
that it produces every known gem. The
finest emeralds, rubles, pearls and
opals I have ever seen come from Aus
tralia. It also has diamonds and gold
and other valuable minerals. Wool
ranks first, mining products next, and
wheat third in the products of Austra
lia. The annual mining output is val
ued at $120,000,000.
"From Warrens the opal hunters go
out with their nati bush, boys and
prospect for opals. They cannot go far
on account of not being able to carry
much water. The Australian opal is
91 per cent silica. It is the result of
extreme heat and pressure. The gov
ernment extends Its supervision over
the opal fields, and will not allow the
fields where opals are not sufficiently
hard to be worked. The opals must
have 93 per cent of silica or over. As
you start out prospecting your first
Indication of the opal Is a white sub
stance, like chalk, that Is called pilk.
It Is sometimes like the talc found in
our mines here. The miner who has
found bits of float goes down the

trench, and If within a foot or two ha
strikes what Is called cachalongr, an
opal-like substance, he knows he will
strike opals by groins a few feet deep
er. Going deeper he strikes opals of a
light blue, Which become darker and
richer as he goes deeper. When the
prospect hole Is 12 or 15 feet deep, he
begins running into blazing reds and
rich greens, i Sometimes the prospector
strikes a bed of valuable opals with the
first trench, and again he may dig a
score of trenches, or spend all season
at prospecting and not find valuable
opals. The way I found my opals was
that I had Inside Information, or I
would not have made the trip into the
Interior. .
"The deepest mine In the Gibson
Desert is 53. feet deep, and regular tunr
nels and drifts are run following the
veins of opal, Many of the opal min
ers follow sheep shearing seven or
eight months a year; and then spend
all their earnings during the next three
months hunting for opals. 8ometimes
they strike it rich and make' a cleanup.
The German buyers come to the . opal
fields to buy the opals. Some of the
opal miners prefer selling their opals
in Sydney. In buying opals you must
go by surface indications. Sometimes
the lapldist will saw through an opal
in the rough and ruin a wonderfully
valuable stone. As Mr. Staffan talked
he ran the opals through his hand.
They glittered like a stream of liquid
fire.
Buffalo Berds on Melvttl Island.
"Australia a wonderful country1,"
he continued.! "I stopped at Melville
Island. The government gave this
island as a landgrant to Captain Mel
ville. It contains about 36.000 acres.
Tears ago a small herd of buffalo from
India were turned loose on Melville
Island. They have Increased xrtvtil
there are thousands there now. They

themselves. At times there are liter
ally acres and acres of these sea tur i
ties, weighing from 260 to 800 pounds
each. -
"A friend of mine ln Sydney has
visited 600 of the Islands off ahors
from the Australian coast. "When you
know that he has visited less -than 10
per cent of Australia's islands-you will
realize that a man would have to start

A few seconds passed, and again ;
there was a knock on the door.
