ing to have another birthday and sol
emnly assures his friends that this is the
only aimon pure birthday he has had
this year and that the one he had last

old at the March birthday.and says that
he is 59 years old at thiif one. He was
SS years old four or five years ago when

semi-annual 'birthday, says that Meyer
has him so mussed up that he doesn't

s Frank Lacey, manager . of the Ma
jestic theatre, has . broken Into the
movies. Of course. Lacey is a familiar
figure in front of the house, but he has
long cherished a dream of being a star
on the screen and now his opportunity
Is at hand.' He is to play the part of a
kind hearted theatre manager in an
Alaska picture to be - directed and
played in by ''Alaska Blacklock" Lewis,
with Madame de la Plate of Los An
geles in the leading feminine role.
Madame de. la Plate, who has been in
pictures about a year, following long
stage experience, is in Portland on her
way to Alaska, where - she " wflt spend
nine weeks on location, and will make
10 "shots" in Portland as one episode

Lewis, who- was formerly 'pastor . at
the Highland . Congregational church,
Portland, has spent the. last 37 years in
Alaska, off and on, and feels that he
is probably better equipped than any
other man to put the proper spirit Into
an Alaskan picture. He has already
filmed a considerable part of the Alaska
country ecenics, and promises some
startling glacier and snow scenes in the
forthcoming production. ' ;f ;
Madame de la Plate has been seen on
the screen in Portland in such plays as
"Burning Daylight" and "The Lone
Wolfs Daughter" and was chosen for
the leading role in the new Alaskan
story because of her particular adapta
tion for such a story.
It is planned to use officials of the
Alaskan government, real "sourdoughs'
and Alaskan ' characters as players in
the new film. :
