I The "Liberty theatre. Portland, Or., a
Jensen and Von Herberg house, managed
by Paul Noble, has recently, put over a
tnusical event. that boosted the attend
v fries' at the Sunday concerts held weekly
at 12 :30 noon - to capacity business,
telped tbe Liberty dally attendance, in
ert ted the whole city anew in music
and brought lintold publicity for a
period of five months. .. .
J "The Liberty, offered a $500 prize to
the Portland civic organization which
ihould present the, best musical program
if four numbers at a Sunday concert.
- Any civic organization , was eligible to
the competition, which - required abso-
' )ete.y no financial outlay on the part of
the competitors. Attendance formed the
basis of the award, the ticket machine
being checked 'ahalf how before' the
Concert commenced 'ami r again 'at the
elo of the musical. - ,;Sr M. -Twenty
' organizations "entered pro-,
fcramij so that the -contest extended over
a period of five, months. The number of
persona who were affected by the com
petition approximates at least 15.000. as
(he memberships were informed to a
tnan by each group when it came time
for Its respective program to be played.
"Soma of the largest and most cultured
groups .. in Portland v participated under
the name of charity. Some of the wor
thiest and smaller groups entered the
contest because they frankly seeded the
; prise of S500. -" -
Typical of the clubs which entered were
the American Legion, Press club, Musi-
" Clans' club. Society of Oregon Cora
: posers. Drama league, ' Civic - league.
Newsboys' , union. Elks, B'nai B'rith
Community Service,' Portland Symphony
orchestra. Women's Ad club and others.
."The locaJ( Order of B. P. O. E. won
pie prise and the presentation of the
check to the leader of the Elks band on
the Liberty stage was made an event
ff public interest." And a half a page

"Loew's Hippodrome of Portland, Or.,

headliner of its combined vaudeville and
(notion picture program, and exploited
It accordingly.! The lobby of the Hippo
Brome ras lined with trees and shrub
bery to afford the outdoor atmosphere
bf The Rider of the King Log." and by
clever adaptation of the 24-sheet, made
the basic idea of a huge wall panel, the
big thrill of the picture was brought out
with business building clearness. Huge
cutouts of the; posters and. a epeclal art
banner with the name of the 'attraction

Old time friends in reminiscing some
times stir up memories more enjoyed
by present business friends tban by the
host. Such was the conclusion reached
by A C Raleigh, manage of the Co
lumbia' theatre, last week Rafter listen
ing in. company with other prominent
persons on the local rial to, to the Inci
dent which put an end to his adventures
as a newspaper jreporter . One morning
Raleigh had not reported for work and
was lying in bed with a splitting head
ache When' the telephone rang. It seems
that one of the large city bridges h
fallen carrying with it a street car in
which were a number .of passengers.
,rWby aren't you down, heref' the irate
editor' asked. "There's been a big ac
cident.' Get right out to Division street
-the bridge has fallen down fi . v"Ah.
gwan,", answered Raleigh's thick., slow
voice, "Don't believe you. "That's what
they always used to' say about London
brldge-r-and v nothing ever f1appened
Bang; went ihe receiver tfi 'the , ear f
the angry city editor. And the heat
day Raleigh got his first job . with a
theatre. " -
Henri A. Keatea, Liberty master or,
ganist, unexpectedly -has found an ad
ditional source of Income which he de
clares will help to keep the wolf from
the Keates suite in , the Multnomah
hotel. Mr, Keates . had just concluded
playing an intermission number on the
giant Liberty organ and . was about to
start playing the feature photoplay,
when 'he heard a voice and looking up
saw an elderly gentleman: "I certainly
enjoyed the selection you have just
played," the man said, placing a 50
cnt piece ovi the organ bench. The
man had gone ' before Mr. Keates could
explain that taking tips was not1 his
custom. An 'usher was sent after Ithe
M-ntleman. but after - a fruitless ' search
she brought back the coin to the or
ganist. "Any money I make thta way
you can. have," he laughingly-told her.
adding, "but I've been playing some; 10
years nowf and this is my first Up."
Manager William .W. Ely is in receipt
of the following message from Marcus
Loew, dated at Buffalo, N. T., Tuesday :
t "The new Loew State theatre opened
this evening with one of the greatest
collections of movie and stage stars ever,
assembled in attendance. A delegation
of some 20 screen favorites arrived, in
two private cars. Mayor Buck, city of
ficials, . the Rotary, Kiwanis, Buffalo
Women's Press and Film clubs were in
the reception party. Among the stars
at opening of house were : Doraldlna,
Mae Murray, Eugene - O'Brien, Edytbe
Baker, Lee .Carillo, Winifred Westove,

New Loew State theatre is one .of the
biggest bouses in Buffalo. , '
' A. B. Marcus, the owner of the Marcus
Shows of 1921, carries his own automo
bile with : him. According 1 to his ad
vance agent. Who wu in Portland last
week, the automobile is checkered Just
like the old fashioned gingham dresses
we boys and girls used to wear .when
we were kids. Irrespective of this, the
ear was purloined while the troupe was
in Denver ; and was missing : for two
days. The advance man, in telling Billy
Pangle of the Helllg about it said be
couldn't understand how anybody would
be foolish', enough to take a car - with
such checkered career, inasmuch as it
has been -proved time and again that
there ia no honor among thieves. .-
;; Worn ? carpets may -attest- the popu
larity of a theatre, but they don't look
as pleasing to the- eyeJ as they might.
Manager -Johnson of the Pantages de
cided recently; Last week several thou
sand dollars worth of new and luxuri
ously appearing carpet was laid in the
Broadway and Alder1 house., Kor is this
all in the way of improvements for the
Pantages this season. Al Leach, scenic
artist :for the Pantages circuit will ar
rive in Portland with an assistant soon
to redecorate the theatre. - He , is now
