I have always taken motion pictures
seriously. But what yesterday was a
rduty is today sacred obligation. Thirty
thousand voices from all America,
- from Canada, from Mexico, France.
England and Australia have spoken in
my recent nationwide cinema contest
for an idea. They have spoken with an
intense admiration lor trie cinema in
some cases, tn criticism in others, but
above all, with a passionate plea that
we give them something, bigger, finer.
They have spoken In a , manner that
mould scare if it did not inspire me to
handle more constructively than ever
before the tremendous force that has
been placed in my hands, in the hands
of all men who maek motion pictures.
Here are some utterances of the
voice of the public:

don't give -us the 'eternal triangle." Give

Midnight Show
Plans Reveal
Floods of Fun
IF THE roof isn't raised in Portland
on New Tear's eve it will not be the
fault of the j Portland showmen, who
are bending every energy toward the
success of the midnight matinees they
have planned. The after-hour shows
promise, startling originality and un
, j,. limited fun, with every manager com-
petlng against the other and the Amer
ican Legion going rapidly forward on
Its own account, - '---"-, " . - -Since
last week the Blue Mouse the
atre has promoted plans for its own
midnight show, to be held on Sunday
evening. Manager Fred Teufel has pre
pared for an interesting program of
films and other features, with the pres
entation of Mary Pickford's "Tees of
the Storm Country" as the most im
portant part of the show. The ' house
will be especially decorated and novelty
; features will be installed. A spectacu
lar effect will usher in the new year
and . push the old one out exactly at
the stroke of 12 o'clock. Tuefel is not
revealing the details of his scheme of
entertainment. He announces that
there will be no added admission fee.
Most of the other midnight matinees,
heralded last Sunday, are now ready
for presentation. For the most part
these matinees in honor of the passing
year and in welcome to the new w-ill
be held Sunday evening, starting from
11:30 o'clock until 12.
At the Orpheum 'a great deal of in
terest is manifested in the midnight
show by patrons eager to assure ac
comodations for themselves. The mati
nee will offer a repetition of the regu
lar performance, with such interest
ing trimmings as the players will have
to offer as an encouragement to the
carnival atmosphere.
Pantages theatre patrons will be
treated to an after-hour show consist
ing for the most part of the regular
vaudeville bill, but again with trim
mings designed for the occasion. Man
ager J. A, Johnson reports Pan patrons
as eager In their interest regarding the
carnival program for the evening and
eea,t sales promise to be heavy.
. One club bought 200 reserved seat
admissions for the Hippodrome mid
night show last week. All Hip seats
will-be reserved and thus far sale has
been unexpectedly large. Since he first
announced an unusual program of ama
teur and profession!! acts for the show
Manager W. W. Ely has arranged for
a greased, pole climbing contest among
news boys and a mysterious "society"
singer, who will be masked. Other fea
tures will be a boxing bout, society
bathing costume review, a tug of war
between teams of Portland police and
firemen, hula hula dancers, jaw bands
and the like. "Something new and
novel. is Manager Ely's aim. -
There is a strong probability that the

a midnight show, wfll get Into the swim
with an elaborate program at The Au
ditorium on Sunday evening. .'. Plans
are now being debated etrenously. The
merican Legion's- big show, with ear
nival spirit supreme and a collection
. of entertainment . that would be hard
to beat, will hold forth In The Audi

to draw, as it did last year, huge pat

important to the picture industry, he
believes not In political censorship but
in censorship within the industry.
"I believe we are all trying to make

that has been set up In different states
but I am afraid of the censorship of
the men. women and children who go

are censoring their pictures in the

of the political censors pretty hard be
cause they leave nothing for those cen

"The trouble has been that 'fly-by-night'
picture companies have put out
pictures that offend public taste but I
believe the public has censored these
pictures by withdrawing its patrons
from picture houses that show such
pictures.
"If state governments want to spend

JOE WAS 'FETCHED9
UPINNEWARKjNOW
HE IS GRAFT CURE
Used to Dreanr . of Gold in Faraway Hil!sr but Seems to Have ,
; Found It in Generous Quanti ties on Broadway Where, It
Appears, He Is About to Dominate the Industry of "
A . Scalping in, Metropolitan Theatre Tickets.
- By Westbrook Pe-fler - "
' toiled Nwa.ttaf Corramondent -New
Yorkt lec 23. Joe Leblanc was
born on Broadway 46 years ag-o. and
was fetched up to. think of . Newark,
N. J., if he ever should think of New
ark, as some place way west, where
the wild fandanft stalks Its prey and
men leave their whitened bones upon
the desert. ' '.
Joe's folks got across the idea to him
that there might be gold In those far
country hills, but , if so it would all
come to Broadway In his time. - All he
had to do was to stay on Ilia own
street and take it as it came.
Joe !blano is a Broadway boy who
has Just popped op from nowhere. He
stands a chance of winning an absolute
monopoly on the theatre ticket: agency
business for all of New York's theatres,
and a royalty of one dime on ' every
admission sold from his racks. .
. .. '
It was'ttis idea which 'the producing
managers' association adopted to elimi
nate the speculator, who. In the Broad
way gibberish "gifts it moider" in the
matter of graft." nd the many legiti
mate agencies which charge 60 cents
above the 'face valne of a ticket - Joe
leblanc proposed that they give him
l he central agency - for all the shows
on the same plan that the- government
nsed in combining the railroad ticket
offices. They adopted his plan, but Joe
stNl has a fight before him to win the
agency for himself, i "
All this called attention to Joe and
10 years has made him not only a rich
man. but a friend of the playgoer and
his cut-rate agency, which in less than
a potent medicine man for productions
on the verge of flopping.
Lebianc observed that the box office
had absolutely estranged the .wage
earning resident New Yorkers by sell
ing off the first 15 row for weeks in
advance to the speculators, a practice
which still ' obtains, denials to the con
trary notwithstanding. He got ' the
privilege of Taking all left-over tickets
an hour or so before the curtain, and
selling them for half price, plus 10
cents. As half price was better than
a dead loss the producers were very
much obliged to trade at Joe's, place. .
Lebi&nc then circularized Brooklyn,
Harlem, Fordham and the - Bronx,
reaching thousands of people, who had
long ago given 4ip the theatre, because
the transients and the - ready-money
New .Yorkcra could outbuy them. He
offered a membership plan; they paid
him a dollar and received a card en
titling them to buy tickets at . half
price as often as they desired, over a
period of months, without paying the
0 cents "loyalty- Some- people ay he
Language of
Wolf Is Real'
; Trimble Says
THE language of the wolf to the av
erage person Is a series of ugly
growls, staccato barks or long and blood
curdling howls and wails that strike
terror to the heart. But those well
versed on animal lore claims it is a
regular language. - : j
' One of the strongest advocates of
this'- theory ia Laurence Trimble. the.
director.; who . used a whole pack of
wolves in his ."Brawn of the North."
In which Strongheaft, the wonder dog
of the films, starred. . :
Says Trimble : -"'.-.
"When ' one remembers that : man
through -civilization has advanced
thousands of years beyond the wjjlf,
we must be reminded that ours is a
language built especially for our needs.
The wolfs language was probably old
when the cave man began to make
himself understood in deep gutturals.
"I have studied the wolf fighting and
at play and have tried to interpret
the meaning of the' various sounds
which he makes and the significance
of every move and gesture. - In the
wolfs eye alone there is a range of
expression as great aa that in the eye
of human beings,"

Christmas Has
Pleasant Tone
For Show Folk
AROUND the Christmas tree in the
"front room" at home very few
folk will give a thought to the lot of
the vaudeville artist who is many
miles rrom bis own fireside and. under
ordinary circumstances might expect
to enjoy anything but a happy holiday.
So it behooves someone else to think
of i these ' traveling entertainers, " who
devote . themselves to the business of
amusing the public aa an expected part
of the Christmas festivities.
lt? not that sway jour. sympathies,
however, for, insofar as the actors vis.
iting Portland during Chrirtrnas week
are concerned, they are to have all the
delights that U'ndly consideration and
money can provide. . . .
Manager Frank J.l McGettigan has
arranged delightful Christmas night
party of Orpheum players who will be
at the Portland house over the holi
day. A bountiful feast of turkey and
trimmings will be spread at the Hotel
Portland and following - the midnight
repast, for the. partyl must follow the
regular evening performance; the
guests will enjoy a dancing party.. All
visiting artists as well as the theatre
staff, together with wives and sweet
hearts, or husbands i and Sweethearts,
as the case ' may be.'will make merry
in one big company The feast will
be presented on one great, long table
piled high with all that goes to make
a Christmas dinner complete. If any
program 'is arranged aside from the
dancing, it will be a' strictly informal
affair. ,
; For Hippodrome J artists and the,
house staff Manager W. W. Ely has
made similar plans. The Hippodrome
family will gather at . the Portland
following the- Monday evening show,
to - feast and- make; merry.. Again
mounds of turkeywill greet the partic- "
1 pants who will' be. grouped around a
big Christmas tree set up as a table
adornment. It ia probable, too, that .
dancing will be a feature of the pro
gram for the Hippodrome partj. .
Pantages performers get their, due
in connection with the New? Year's
holiday. Manager J. A. Johnson is .
preparing for a big dinner party on
the stag to follow the midnight mat
inee which the visitlnr; actors will pre
