FRANK CURTIsS NOW
A DEPUTY SHERIFF

Deputy Sheriff Frank Curtiss, of
Multnomah county, arrived here this
morning with R, Hunt, Mexican, who
was sentenced to a term in the peni-
tentiary OF from five to IS years for
the crime Of larceny from a dwelling.
According to Deputy Curtlss, Hunt
is bad actor, The prisoner sported
steel bracelets, and appeared rather
opposed to conversation. A fierce
looking moustache and swarthy COM
plexion rendered his features anything
but pleasant to look at, and any at
tempt to draw him into conversation
was met with scowl and a grunt.
Mr., Curtiss was formerly warden of
the penltentiary, and is we'll known In
Salem. He was appointed deputy sher
III by Sheriff Word, due to his ability
as sleuth. The fact that he is ia
miliar with every face that has ever
looked through the bars Of the beni-
tentiary for the past four years make
his services doubly valuable to the
Portland officials. ti&

members of the cast-not Billy-by
irate gallery gods. To further dis
courage him, he agreed to allow the
manager to withhold his pay for one
week.
At the end of three weeks Billy
counted ties to Jersey City from a
point 100 miles, south, and left as a
standing obligation to him a debt of
$50.

asylum" said Billy, reciting his return

my parents became distracted, and the
neighbors hurriedly advised the city's

So left town.

something comic, and my only saliva
tion Is to give it to them. 1t has be-

After years Of playing in repertoire
and vaudeville, Billy finally attracted
the attention Of David Belasco. He
was assigned to the part of a young
boy in Belasco's production of the
Rose of the Rancho" AS a part of
the forewarning given to Billy by his
new manager was the advice that "the
only way to be comedian was to be
natural, and never exaggerate."

explanation.

that knew it all, and that no one
else knew anything. ! felt like a kid

Billy first experience In posing for
moving pictures was when he signed a
two-year contract with the Biograph
Company. During his connection with
that organization, Lawrence Griffith

that slips 'em over" and It is an ap-
pendage that is frequently used as a
greeting from Billy's friends. Upon

BILLY QUIRK SMILES
THROUGH UNIVERSAL GEMS
Prominent Moving Picture Comedian
Tells Life History.

Inimitable Billy Quirk, possessed Of
humor that has brought smiles and
laughter to thousands of moving pic
ture fans, and one Of the prime favor
ties among picture fanciers Of today,
lays claim to Jersey City as his birth
place. He was born March 2S, 1S--.
Further than that Billy refuses to com-
init himself. Young in appearance and
mannerisms, and still a jovial kid" in
pictures, he declined to reveal the big
secret Of his life--the year Of his birth
ANY time between Genesis and Rev
elations," was his only comment.
Billy's initial appearance in public
was made from the recesses Of downy
quilts and comforters, and his act con.
sisted of decorating a pair OF small,
sky-blue eyes with two chubby fists.
His toes played no part in that days
performance, according to Billy.
As the years witnessed his CONVEX
sion from skirts to knee-length trous
ers and a sure-enough pair OF "gallus
es"--there is one clew to the year Of
his birth, for suspenders have pre-
vailed as the proper term for 30 years
Billy began an ardent study of cir
Gus posters AMI programs Of vaulc-
vile acts. School work was 4 second

ture comedian. He did not neglect his
stu les, but gave them only sufficient
time TO secure the necessary markings

the high school.
Billy, discouraged over the discovery
that a vaudeville troupe playing in
his home city had been obliged TO pre-,
sent the sheriff with several trunks
and scenic pieces, in consideration for
unobstructed exist from Jersey City,
decided that veterinary surgery offered
n more lucrative field. So Billy de-
voted his time for more than a year

Three months ago he accepted an Of

with the expiration Of his contract
with the Solax Company Billy be-
came permanently affiliated with the
Gem.
"Hreaefter," said Quirke, every Billy
Quirk comedy will be a gem. I've com
pleted my elementary education in the
motion picture business, and am now
going to try to realize some benefit
from 1t in the way Of better grade of
pictures"
Quirk, after the manenr of talented
persons, has hobbies. He rides them
without saddle or bride, literally
speaking. At his cozy and handsome
ly appointed home at Bogota, N j., he
has kenenl of prize-winning French
bulldogs. He is still mourning the
loss of Champion Gugusse, Jr, five
times a blue ribbon winner in the
strongest competition. His attention
outside of business hours is now being
devoted to the rearing of Buvat, son of
the dead champion.

ardent follower Of angling and hunt

his canoe.
Hs Bogota home is within a few
miles Of the studio at Coytesville,
where many Of the Gem productions
are being staged. AS a means of
transportation Billy is investigating

followed by any procession, and one
which will give the visitors an excel
lent view of the city and allow the
residents of Salem to get fine sight
Of the parade
The committee has decided that ow-
ing to the lack Of flowers and the un-
certainty Of the weather It is wiser
not to attempt to decorate the cars but
to furnish to each car pennant with
an appropriate motto.
The moving picture men will be in
Salem Saturday for the purpose Of

these pictures will be shown else

pennants will furnish much excellent

Every automobile owner in the city
and surrounding country is invited to
Join in the parade and the committee
requests that each owner at once COM
munlcate with the secretary of the
Board of Trade either in person or by
phone so that the committee may know
Just how many machines to figure on.
Prominent personages will occupy
the leading machines in the parade fol-
lowed by other visitors. Trucks with
bands will be scattered through the
line of autos This is done because the
bands would be unable to keep I'D
with the machines. should they be
compelled to march on foot. 1t is ex-
pected that bands from Corvallis and
Chemawa will be in attendance and
the local band and the Salem Boys
band will assist in furnishing music.
The meeting place and line of march
VIII be announced later. The one i'm
portant thing which the committee
now has to confront Is the number Of
machines which will be in line. and for
which pennants must be furnished.
