An Opportunity
Some one has written entreating the Portland Spectator
to launch a movement to "stop our young girls and women
from daubing their faces with paint, powder, rouge and white
wash that makes them look more like monkeys than human
beings. To this the Spectator replies declining the task, as
follows:
The Spectator has never sought to accomplish the Impossible. If
wo had sought to delay bright Phoebus In his travels, or bold pale Luna
in her nightly round, or cause a politician to cease trying to fool all
the peoplo all the time, by the utter failure of our efforts, the cor
respondent would have known we are not omnipotent, and would have
refrained from asking us to say something that would restrain our
lovely Indies from imitating the painted savages who perished on the
war path. By permitting old Ocean to pursue his customary routine,
by allowing Boreas to blow where he listeth, and hoary Inevitable to
follow his Inveterate course, The Spectator has gained a reputation
that we shall not Imperil by asking wilfull woman to quit making a
piebald, pinto money of herself.;
j It would be quite useless; and bestdos, would bo an Impertinence.
. Ladles have the Inalienable right to pursue happiness by painting their
jars a delicate cerise, by smearing their faces with yellow orchre, by
daubing their finger nails with a bright pea green, by decorating their
knees with ping snakes, or by using other lively colors on any other
parts of their lovely bodies they see fit to expose for our wonder and
admiration.;
The Spectator is entirely too modest. Nothing is impos
' sible, and the Spectator is admirably qualified for the task,
for in its bright lexion of youth, there is no such word as
f fail. All it has to do. is to make the painted lady a moral
j issue, enlist the uplifters and reformers, organize and secure
and executive secretary to flood the obliging press with
1 propaganda, enroll the political parsons to thunder against
the iniquity from a thousand pulpits and the battle win he on,
Of course local control will not be sufficient and a con
stitutional amendment must be adopted banning artificial
complexions. The manuufacture, sale or transportation, of
paint, whitewash, rouge and calsomine for facial purposes.
or the importation thereof into or the exportation therof
from the United States and all subject territory must be
prohibited.
Such a course seems the only way we can save our girls
from the beauty shop as our boys have been saved from the
saloon. Of course there will be complexion bootleggers, and
work for an army of snoopers, but a painted face is easier
detected than a perfumed breath and the penalties can be
progressively increased until the prisons are filled. Moreover,
we can use the army and navy, to guard our coasts against
smuggled complexions.
i Here indeed, in saving women as men have been saved, is
a noble task for the Spectator to undertake. It can become
the official organ of the crusade and find a niche at every
fireside, a new "American Issue," reaping thereby fame and
, fortune. It can mobilize its following at the polls, coerce the
j politicians, and make the painted face the test of 100 percent
'Americanism. It can save the American, woman from mak
; ing a monkey out of herself even at the expense of making
; a monkey out of tho nation. 4
There was bitter disappointment
in Isabel's eyes.
'I thought perhaps you were
tired of wandering, and would set
tle down," she feu Id with forced
ligntness.
'X wish I could," ho answered
constrainedly. "I have often made
up my mind that I will, and then
when it comes to the point the ne
cessary Incentive always seems
lacking. Besides, I could never live
anywhere except up at the old
place and that's gone beyond my
reach even if I could afford to buy
It back."
She looked away from him.
'You never found out who the
purchaser was?" ,
He shrugged his shoulders.
"I never troubled. It was all done
throuifh lawyers." He laughed
wryly. "There was no profit for
mo or I might have been more in
terested." ..
"I see." ..
Suddenly she turned, looking up
at him, her cheeks flushed and her
eyes shining.
'I was the purchaser, Pat, she
said quietly.
'You!"
'Yes. Oh, don't look so angry! I
knew you hated the thought of
losing the house, and I wanted to
save It for you. I have so milch
money, so I bought it and I did It
all up in the way I thought you
would like it to be done and now
it's let but only for a little while"
she rushed on eagerly. "Only 'till
if you ever feel that you would like
to live there again." Her meaning
was unmistakable and a wave of
emotion crossed Heffron's face.

"What do you mean?" "
"I told you if Mollle will have

Heffron broke In with rough
passion:
"My God, that's no affair of

memory-haunted for me already."
John grew offended,
"Well, if that's how you look at
things, how do you Imagine I feel
about It?"
Heffron laid a hand on his
friend's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
said that. But I can't stay, I real

"Well."

grumbled. "What on earth did you

"Because I'm a damned fool,"
Heffron answered.
"You'll change your mind," his

Stage Whispers
Morion Davles, the appealing or-1
phan In "Zander the Great," the
piquant princess Mary In "When
Knighthood Was In Flower," the
intriguing "Fely" of "Lights of Old
Broadway" Marlon Davles, who
has given the screen so varied a
scries of characterizations that
nothing else seemed possible, has
ome forward with still another
and this time one that marks a new
page In screen history.
This Is her role In "Beverly of
Graustark," her now Cosmopolitan
production now being seen at the
Klslnore theater. The world knows
her as a screen beauty and as an
emotional star, and lately has come
to welcome her digressions Into
comedy in whimsical flashes In her
story.
But as .a crown prince that's
new.
Sarah Bernhardt did what Miss
Davis has done in "L'Alglon" but
all In a tragic vein. Miss Davles
has taken the same idea and made
It real for more convincing tech
nically, and in a serio-comic vein.
There are many flashes of humor
and much entertainment In Miss
Davles masquerade as a crown
prince, so remarkably done that at
times one could swear the Prince of
Wales was acting the part. The
likeness between the British prince
and Miss Davles in her boyish make
up is positively uncanny.
"Moana," the Paramount picture
which opens at the Oregon theater
Sunday, comes as an answer to that
old question, "When are those
much mentioned and discussed
'better movies' coming ?'
According to the program, this
picture was made In Its entirety on
a small South '-Sea Island without
any white players. Its producer,
Robert J. Flaherty, made "Nnnook
of the North," a film generally con
ceded to be the finest thing of Its
kind ever attempted. Like Its pre
decessor, "Moana" arrives as n
breath of fresh Invigorating air.
After hundreds of studio made pic
tures, producers could well afford
to use It as a model on which to
fashion future productions.

Eleanor Boardman and Conrad

In several pictures within the last
year has established them as one

In John M, Stahl's production of
Memory Lane," which he directed
for Louis B, Mayer. It is coming
to the Elalnore theater on Monday.
"Memory Lane" was written by
Stalil and Benjamin Glazer, directly
for the screen. There are only three
leading' roles, and William Haines
portrays the third.
The supporting cast Includes Eu

Stanfield's Candidacy
Whether or not Senator Stanfield will be an independent;
'candidate for reelection is still a subject for speculation as
.the senator has the subject under consideration and investi
! gation, but it is hoped that he will if for no other reason than
.jt add color to a colorless campaign by colorless candidates.
;? Mr. Stanfield was defeated for tho republican nomination
by unfair tactics that is apparent to everyone. He was
riot only the victim of a framed-up fake yellow ticket but he
' was persistently and consistently maligned and misrepresent
ed throughout the campaign, and a long time before by a
majority of the newspapers of the state particularly the
republican newspapers. ,
While Mr. Stanfield was putting through the land grant
tax refund bill and other measures beneficial to the people
of Oregon, the Oregonian was cartooninsr him as absent from
Washington and conducting editorially and in the news
columns vicious prejudicial propaganda against him. In spite
oi nis services to tne state and to the administration, he was
hot enabled to present his case to the Deonle.
Busy at Washington for Oregon, Mr. Stanfield was forced
to rely upon his official record of accomplishment and this
record was flagrantly misrepresented. It was repeatedly as
serted that he could not be elected if nominated a li nn
its face, as everyone now acknowledges. Since his achieve
ments as a go-getter have become known, he is 100 percent
stronger than he was at the time of tho primaries so strong
in fact that he could probably be elected as an independent,
i It is to be hoped that if Mr. Stanfield does become a can
didate that he will discard all the "advisers1 who messed his
campaign and pictured him as an artful dodger and be him
self, speak his honest convictions, leaving the roll of pussy
footing, trimming, and straddling to his opponents. People
are so tired of hypocricy in public life that they would wel
come a chance to vote for a candidate with the courage of
ma i-uiivicuons wncmer tney agreed with him or not.

And yet when he had gone, with
a smothered cry she fell down
