- SEATIKO CAPACITY tSvO
Portland's new. "Junior Orphsomf will
be modeled along the same lines as the
' State-Lake theatre, Chicago. It will have
a-eeatlng capacity of 2500 and will show
three times a day at popular prices, first
. run motion picture features being run
in connection with Orpheum vaudeville,
which will be really a i return showing
of the regular Orpheum program
The, sit for the new? theatre will be
decided by Beck and associates, who will
corns to Portland later ; in the summer
after the local manager has forwarded
. them detailed reports on available sites,
. prices and general realty conditions.
5AUXD AFTER STBEETS
It Is the policy of the Orpheurn con;
pany to name its "Junior" houses after
the cross streets on which they are lo
cated, thus the "Stale-Lake In Chicago.
In the South, Beck Singer have alresdy
contracted for new thestres in Los An-
(ties and SanYranclaoo.
Other cities to get "Junior" Orpheums
- this year are Minneapolis, Kansas City
and Memphis, and within the next few
"years it Is planned to parallel all exist
ing Orpheum theatres with "Juniors."
The new Portland house will be under
separate management and will In no
' way conflict with the regular Orpheum,
which will probably continue to run
three nights a week, the "Junior" house
- to show for a full week. j
CHICAGO SCHEME SUCCESS
"The decision to build a string of
- 'Junior' houses." says McQettlgan,
"comes because of the' big- success ot
the StateLake. The new: houses will in
a way supplement the Orpheum theatres
already operating, and taxed for! the
most part to their capacity. Beck ex
pressed himself as well satisfied with
the condition f business in Portland
and other Northwest cities, regretted
that he could f not come north at this
time, but promised to visit , here later in
the season." -
, MoOettigan wilt at once start work on
- a realty report to be submitted to Or-
- pheiun officials. . .

There are still other reasooa. There
is believed to oe a revulsion of senti

spending of money. The conviction ot
Senator Newberry and his co-defendants
has produced a deep Impression. The
Johnson forces have sought to take ad
vantage of this by putting Wood on the
defensive on the Question of campaign
expenses. Borah, as chief accuser, and
a clever one, has gone into the state In
person to put emphasis on the. charge
that the Wood men have a large sack

Immense vote in Detroit and the support

In the Dakota. Detroit has an Immense
foreign bom 'vote. By the census of 1910
the whites of native parentage in Detroit
were 113,000, those of foreign or mixed

Johnson has still another - "special

he began offering resolutions calling for
the return of American troops from
Russia and Siberia. A large part of the
troops in mat territory were from
Michigan, a fact that Is not "Belhg, over

About half the people of Michigan

the radical elements of 'the large mining
regions; of the upper peninsula the state
offers - some peculiar openings for the
Johnson candidacy. ; ,
IS WEAK IX. EAST
In the .eastern states Johnson can
hope, for only scattering delegates. In
New York be may pick up a few, and
that seems about all. New Hampshire
and Maine have already gone to Wood.
In Massachusetts Wood and Hoover
are the main contestants, and Johnson
Is only incidentally mentioned. Con
necticut's 12 are mostly for Lowden,
with one lone delegate for Johnson.
Pennsylvania will be for Sproul. and
not for Johnson after Sproul Is dropped.
So the story , runs through the East,'
and it ia much the same in the South.
' If Michigan goes for Johnson, how
ever, his managers hope to build htm
up hr the West and put him into the
convention with enongb votes to rank
ahead of Lowden. Then, they believe,
Johnson will have to be consulted when
the candidate Is named, although John
son himself cannot make it. . .
