"Such a Little Pirate," is the name of the photoplay. Patricia Wolf. Is the heroine, who by her wits, had preserved a copy of the, tattoo marks on her grandfather's arm marks which outlined a map showing the spot where the buried wealth was to be found on a far-away island. Dia bolical attempts to obliterate the flesh marks having failed, the real exciting incidents follow quick and fast. The villian typically called "Bad Eye." and his fellow conspirators, are foiled after trying to capture the bonafide fortune hunters, the muzzles of whose guns strike terror into the hearts of the gang. The play has the freshness of the seas and the romantic thrillers of the bold pirates. The comedy feature is a Max Sennett production. COLUMBIA Money has its obstacles, it is said ; and the course of true love never rups true, it Is known. The combination of these two principles makes an attrac tive story in 'Too Many Millions," played by Wallace Reid at the Colum bia this week. He is a young book agent with a future none too promising. He has two rich and miserly uncles ! who are going to do him the favor of leaving all their fortune to some char itable institution when they are both suddenly killed without leaving a will. Their filthy lucre falls on him and he bears up under it manfully until he finds that he has to sign so many papers he hasn't any time left for send ing out invitations for his parties, and he signs a power of attorney with which his attorney takes over all his property and converts it into cash and starts on a journey. At the same time a charm ing young woman, whose father's health broke down after he had been robbed of his fortune by the young man's two uncles, visits him in his own room to demand the money. She goes with him in pursuit of the fleeing attorney and they are stranded in a small town so that he has to go to work as a farm hand. The situation is relieved by their marriage and they start to live happily until the attorney finds what an obstacle the money is and takes it back to the owner. The incidents take place in an amus ing ay, and while there Is nothing con- vincing in the story it is entertaining. r L PEOPLES Dorothy Glsh, at the Peoples, plays the role of a girl who follows the straight and narrow 'path and a a rough customer when someone tries to shove her off the path. She is playing in "The Hope Chest," in which she be gins her career as one of tire star wait i esses in a candy store. At this time the owner of the store decides to get his son interested in the business. The son becomes interested, but only in her par ticular corner of the business. She has an interesting time getting married, and then they both have an interesting time trying to see eacn other while living at the house of his father, who is deter mined to keep them separated while he decides on how to save his son: . A few other obstacles are Introduced in the way or a designing stepsister, an in fatuated young man and the ; profes sional career of her father vaudeville. How they overcome them all until the young man defies everything for her and wins the respect of his father makes an interesting plot. bAker "Blue Jeans," at the Baker theatre, is recommended for a good laugh and some very thrilling near-tragedyx Pat terned after the good old plays of the way Down East" variety with the scene shifted to Central Indiana, -this four act production of Joseph Arthur redounds in bucolic wit and boisterous gaiety. There is a barn dance in the first act and a. barbecue in the second, a near murder in the third and a "happy-ever-after", climax in the fourth. What more could one wish? The satisfaction of ca pacity houses at Sunday matinee and evening performances was generously manifested. Albert McGovern carries off the lion's share of the male honors as Perry Bas- com, a city bred lawyer and politician who breaks In on the peaceful rural community and wins the hearts of the two prettiest girls In the town. Sue Eu daly (Verna Felton) and June, imper sonated by Olive Templeton. The 'scemes and plots of June, whose beauty is enhanced by extreme poverty. md Sue, who is the acknowledged belle or the town, furnish interest and action. Ben Boone is a very real villain as de picted by Lee Millar and becomes dia-. bolio In the third act when he attempts to reduce Perry Bascom to clear-cut in a very business-like looking sawmill. June breaks through the door with a chair Just in time to preserve the much loved Perry for the felicities of the fourth act. There are a. score or more of char acters. George P. Webster makes a hit as. Colonel Henry Clay, Risener and Laura Rogers and Anna : McNaughton are at home as Cindy Tutewller and Sa- mantha Hanklns, respectively.

' Preceding the ceremony and at in tervals during the affair, a harpist and a stringed orchestra played softly, their music producing a happy effect, ming ling with the hum or voices. Mrs. Beach, as Virginia Menefee, has been one of the most extensively feted brides-elect of the season, since the an nouncement of her engagement a few weeks ago. She isi a girl of great per sonal charm and popularity. She Is a graduate of Oaksmere school, New York, ana since ner return from there has been one of Portland's most sought after belles.

Peter Rabbit and Ned Chipmunk, , you know, were first cousins to the Beavers; and they were proud of these engineers at Beavertown. J - The reason that the Beavers were so admired and loved by their cousins and all, their relatives "was. "because they were so far and square. The Beavers were very strong and powerful, and yet they were kind to all the little people of the Great Forest. Whv. the Beavers were kind and brotherly to the smallest and weakest little people in the Great Forest- They wouldn't harm the tiny young rabbits, and squirrels just born. And their par ents could go off and get food for their Jittle ones, and they trusted the Beav ers, who would never touch their nest or young. lTne Beavers even loved the tiny Wood-Mice, and would not injure them for the world. I , suppose you have . seen a Bully among boys? He is the chap who is big and strong, and goes around fight ing little boys ! He dares not take a fellow of his own size. Now the Beavers would not do' such a mean and cowardly thmg as that. The Beavers were juet as kind to a tiny, weeny Wood-Mouse, as they were to the biggest Rabbits and Hares.. You know the Beavers never ate their Bird Neigh bors, nor their' little four-footed brothers in the Great Forest. For this reason they had lots and lots of friends; and little people came in great numbers to visit -them. One day Peter Rabbit met Ned Chip munk by the big hemlock, and called out, "Oh, eee here, Ned Chipmunk, have you heard the great news?" "What news?" asked Ned Chipmunk. "Well, here it is," explained Peter, "My cousins, the Beavers of Beaver town, have a Roof-Garden on their new house, and they have a concert every morning and evening. And lots of the little people go every day and hear the free concerts !" Advises Women To Study the Markets CAREFUL marketing, close study of the market and strongly united neighborhood clubs to study markets, will help reduce the cost of living and eliminate waste, in the opinion of Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the Housewives' League of America. Commenting- today on high prlcea of food and the effect on the. country. Mrs. Heath said in New York, she did not believe food prices in the main, were the result of profiteering and ma nipulation. She expressed the belief that cost of production had increased to' such an extent that food prices have had a natural rise, and had slight hope for early reduction. "I have always held that community clubs to control markets could handle food price situations much as they pleased," she declared. "And I am more strongly than ever In favor of them to meet the present condition. Food con servation is vitally necessary If prices are to come down- and neighborhoods should organize for this purpose." Mrs. Heath, as head of the House wives league, headed a movement two years ago that boycotted certain foods and forced prices down. She said no boycott was contemplated at the pres ent time because she did 4 not believe there was need for It. c 1 i MEET TOMORROW 9 A. M.

SERMON TOPICS ' Reversing the old adage. Major T. A. Mills of the spruce production division, addressing an audience at the First Congregational- church, declared that "the road from hell is payed with good in tentions.. The pastor said in part: "The next month may determine your next year, probably your next 10 years, if not your entire life. Remember that when you ring the new year In next week. ' ' , - .- - He advised bis bearers to start the new year with nw resolutions to throw off the old inertia. ' ; ' "The Things , That. Survive, was the topic of the sermon by -the Rev. J,: H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian church.: rThs sermon was appropriate Tale ' JL The Beavers- even loved the, tiny Wood-Mice, and would not injure them for the world. "I don't believe it," blurted out . Ned Chipmunk. "Why, you believe every thing you eyer hear, and somebody is fooling you, Peter Rabbit. You are an easy mark !" "I'll prove it to you," insisted Peter Rabbit, "so come along" with me, Ned Chipmunk." And it was a pretty sight to see Peter Rabbit and Ned Chipmunk dressed up within an inch of their lives, skipping along to see the Roof-Garden, and to hear the free concerts. Soon they reached Beavertown, and had a very kind welcome from the big-hearted Beaver family. And Peter Rabbit said to Father Beaver, "We are so anxious to see your new Roof-Garden, and to hear those free concerts we have heard so much about." Tomorrow The Evening Concert.

East Yamhill at Thirty-fourth street, Thursday, January 2, at 12 o clock. The enormous increase in the cost of food and the restriction in consumption which have prevailed in England during the war have worked a great hardship. Mrs. Julian Langner of the Hoyt hotel is in receipt of a letter from her mother, written from Yorkshire, in which she says apples are 60 cents a pound; they were formerly two to four cents a pound. Black molasses, which formerly sold for from six to eight cents a pound, now retails at 20 cents. Milk now costs 16 cents a auart, which is Just double its cost before the war.' Rabbits now sell ing at $2 and $2.50 each formerly brought 60 cents and chickens which for merly could be purchased for from 25 to 60 cents now sell for $2.60 each.

AAA The Red Cross unit of the Portland Woman's club will meet at Multnomah hotel, Tuesday morning. to the new year. He said "that in spite of all changes of time, we remain indi vidually the same indivisible unity, the same personality which distinguishes us from other men." He paid a tribute to the Mosaic law, which he said is the code which brought man out of the prehistoric state : the law that is tho foundation of all religions, and a fixed landmark. Rev. O..B. Pershing occupied his pulpit at the Central Presbyterian church, de scribing the coming of Christ, the com ing of tfte wise men and the adoration of the shepherds. "Christ was truly a king, but not the earthly sort," said Rev. Joshua S tans field, pastor of the First Methodist church. He said that the meaning of Christmas is the coming of tho highest and best in human life, and Chat the best of Christ's life waa always for oth ers : that Christ was the greatest servant of all time.
