With John Gilbert In the star
role, "Honor First" his latest,
will open at the Liberty theatre
Friday. Press reports from other
cities where this picture has been
shown accord it high ' praise.
Many who have review the fea
ture assert that Gilbert is at his
best.
Hhe story deals with the dif
ference in character and temper
ament between twin brothers,
both of whom served in the
French army during the war.
Gilbert portrays both brothers.
His work as the cowardly both
er is said to be especially worth
while. This characterization is
a cal fori extraordinary force in
actng. "
Sixty eressmaXers worked for
a month to prepare the seven
teenth century costumes of Bet
ty Compson and the feminine
members of the cast of "To
Have and to Hold," the picture
at the Oregon theatre this week.
The- costumes of Raymond Hat
ton as King James; Luclen LU
tlefield as "Duke of' Bucking
ham," and Theodore Kosloff as1
"Lord Carnal" are eyo-filllng In
their abnndance of jewels, satins
and laces.
! Striking crowds are a feature
ot this production. Several hun
dred Indians and settlers are used
in - tb Jamestown sequence and
several hundred - banquetters in
dulge 'In an orgy tt the 17th
century variety; a hundred or the
"doves" or wives for the- colon
ists land at Jamestown and
then, of course, there are the
picturesque pirates, one-legged
ones, Moors, . Spanish, . Chinese,
representing every kind and
variety of villainous loking dini-vlduals.

(Mrs. Dr. Owns-Adair has had
prepared a measure to be submit
ted to the legislature at its com
ing session, providing - for the
medical examination of both men
and women before marriage li
censes shall be issued 'to them in
Oregon. The plan is, as wfll be
seen by the reading of the pro
posed bill, printed in full. below,
to ask the legislature to submit
the measure to the v.ote of the
people. The publishing of the
proposed measure in advance is
for the purpose of securing the
widest possible discussion of it,
especially as to its form and word
ing. Those who are in favor of
the introduction and submission
of the measure say that a visit to
the state institutions here, more
especially the state institution
for the feeble minded, will con
vince any one of .the wisdom of
submitting and of enacting such
legislation. Following is the
wording of the measure pro
pored : ) ' .
A Bill
Section 1. It shall beunlawful
for anyfcounty clerk in the state
of Oregon to issue a marriage li
cense td any person or persons

such license as to his or her
health with reference .to conta
gious or communicable venereal
diseases and mentality as herein
after provided, except that where
such female person Is 45 years of
age or older she need not be so
examined. If either or both of
such applicants fall to pass the
health and mental tests, such li
cense shall not be issued unless
or until one or both have been
rendered sterile according to the
rules and regulations provided
therefor by the state board of

Section 2. Such examination

censed physician competent to
examine such " applicants and
whose certificate thereof shafl be

with the rules established by the
state board of health. The physi
cian making the "general examin
ation and certificate herein re
quired shall take from the appli
cant In each Instance the neces
sary blood specimen and shall

medical laboratory which is main
talned by the state, county, city,
or other mirnldpality or at public
expense, or if not maintained,
which will make the blood test
herein provided free of charge.
If no such medical laboratory ex
ists within the county where euch
blood test can be made free of
charge, then the county court of
such county is hereby authorized
and directed to provide for the
establishment and maintenance of
such laboratory or to contract for
the performance of such blood
tests by any person or persons

tence to be established by the
certificate of the state health of
ficer. The labratory, upon receipt of
any such blood specimen, shall

CHINATOWN GETS
GETS BIG SHOCK
(Continued from page 1)
. The elder Chinese of Mott, Pell
and Doyer streets, masked the
emotions they may have behind
imperturbable faces, shook their
heads and kept stony silence be
fore the little army of reporters
that Invaded their city within a

No Mildred Appears)
Members of the younger "gen
eration were less reserved, but
still could not add much to the
Btory of the disappeared bride
groom and the uneaten wedding
feast.
All they knew was that George
Nura Lee had expected his be
trothed to arrive on Christmas
eve, and that she -didn't; that
thousands of dollars had been
spent on Jewels tor the bride and
fer a wedding feast, but that the
Jewels had not yet found a place
on Mildred Wenn's comely figure
and the wedding feast was still
unserved.
There were several stories con
cerning the cause ot the mlxup,
but no one could say which one
w!as the true one.
One thing they all were agreed
opftbat Hiss Wenn had not been
ferced, according to ancient Chin
ese 'custom, into marriage "with a
man she did not even know. They
met many months ago at the
Chinese legation in Washington,
went through all the phases of
an American courtship and be
came engaged n year ao.
Jewels Walt
r So the 'question, really is not
whether George Num Lee and
Mildred Wenn are to' be married.
The question is where, when and
Bow the marriage will be solemn
ized.
Meanwhile, the gorgeous red
rpoms of the On Leong tong, with
tneir decorations of poppies and
gold dragons, yawn emptily for
the wedding guests; the wedding
feast reposes' in cold storage, the
wedding Jewels wait in Lee Quon's
strong box and Chinatown is all
a-gossip.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. Mil-
area wenn, 19-year-old American
reared Chinese girl, who was re
turned to her parents, according
to police, after having disappear
ed for several hours in pique over
election of a bridegroom for her
by her parents, was reported as
again missing late today.
PARIS. Dec. 24. fBy The As
sociated Press. 1 The. household
of Sarah Bernhardt was jubilant
this evening over the remark
able improvement sh6wn la the
condition o the famous actress.
Tho deep gloom' which had set
tled dowtt upon the family and
faithful followers of the star was
almost entirely dispelled by the
continued 'optimism of the doc
tors, who had v permitted Mme.
Bernhardt -to sit up in her1 room
during the last 24 hours.
Eats Christmas Dinner
Madame Bernhardt had Christ
mas dinner last night with the
members of her family and a few
intimate friends . She ate a small
piece of turkey and talked cheer
fully and hopefully of her return
to the footlights. She was be
ginning to believe, .she said, that
she would be spared to act ten
years more. She confided to sev
eral friends that she expected
to assume her role in the new
guitry play that was about to
be produced when she was strick
en, within three weeks.
The physicians . smiled when
Mme. Bernhardt indulged in this
three-week's talk, merely saying
"perhaps." They frankly stated,
on the other -hand -that the
"divine Sarah's" condition was
very weak, her long years of hard
work on the boards having told
upon her, and that it was quite
possible it would be many months
before she was able to appear
in public. There are not lack
ing, indeed, those who think
Bernhardt may never act again.
Many Call
Scores of prominent people
continued to call at the Bern
hardt home today to express their
happiness over her Improved con
dition and there was unrestrain
ed rejoicing 'among the actors
and actresses of Paris, many ot
flowers and filled her room with
flowers and Hied her room with

Many cable messages arrived
from American friends and ad
mirers, including actors and ac
tresses on the American stage.
Madame Bernhardt was espe
cially pleased with the American
cablegrams.
