"MoUies" and Cabarets Are
Charged With the Failures
of 1914 Theatrical Season

have marked the 1928 aud the 1919
Ia theatrical seasons, and for the mere
mediocre success that has marked most
of the new productions that were not
failures. The last issue of one of the
best theatrical publications Of New
Iork-a publication that is the un-
official organ of the vast dramatic in.
terests here-goes to the length of some
1000 words to admit that two things
are chiefly responsible for the present
state of affairs in theatredom. They
are the movies aud the cabarets.
The movies are offering really won
derful values, The caibre of the
stars who perform for the film com
nanies, taken as whole, has been vast
ly superior to that of the treatre folk
who have not acted before the camera.
Add to this the ten, twent thirt' AL
missions and the fact that the movie
audience can see more action in less
time than the theatre audience, and
the answer is easy. But the movies are
not doing all of the "value' offering.
The cabarets aEe neck and neck with
the movies when it comes to giving the
price-payers vaule received. There are
a dozen palatial palaces of Eat in this
town where you can, by paying a little

The New York Roof has its dance

circles are numbered. On the wall is q

the dance floor. While the dance is on

AGED EXPERT. TO VISIT
MT. LASSEN Crater

Redding, Cal, June l9,-Bound for
the summit of Mount Lassen, no matter
what the risks, Professor j. b. Diller,
the geological expert, left here today
to make thorough inspection of the
smoking crater ON the great peaks slope
preliminary to report to the United
States Geological survey and 20 the is
suanee of a statement to the press con.
corning the result of his observations.
The professor visited the mountain
first in 1883 and he assembled 1t several
times since. ''This trip is perilOus,
he commented before leaving here as he
glanced up at the blackened cone and
noted the wisps of steam arising from
it, "and IN an old man now-not the
climber / was in 'S3-but ] IN going
clear to the top at all hazards. -
The aged geologist also asked through
the United Press that all persons who
have taken photos OF eruptions to send
copies to him at Redding, giving their
names, addresses and the exact time and
places from which the photos We're
snapped, for publication in connection
with the geological survey S report.
Professor Diller will camp at Man
zanita Lake, five miles from the crater
and spend several days in his investi-
cations.
TIE volcano was quiet today.

HARD TIMES, WHAT?
portland Journal.)

Portland, June l9.-To the Editor of
the Journal-POssibly no man alive
hates to reverse mis- expressed opinion
more than |, but | will have to modify
my statement about hard times.
now hold that times are not only hard
but are adamant and also tough.
Last Sunday there was some sort of
entertainment at the Country club
grounds-motorcyel races, ! believe.
Well, ! wanted to cross Sandy bOule-
ward near my residence, but found it
swirling stream of automobiles, going
toward the race track. Not being able
to cross the street, | counted autONo-
biles for 80 minutes and tailed an even
500 automobiles, all filled with people
who, as near as their speed would per
nit, were reasonably well dressed and
fed
Thereupon / returned home and set
it down as my honest conviction that
nard times no longer mean lack of ear
fare, pinched cheeks and old clothes,
but that times are pretty tight when
only 500 automobiles pass a given point
in 80 minutes. Yes, times are hard. 1t
must be the fault of Wilson and Bryan

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood, d,-that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
paie,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
Tn some cases it causes eatarrh; IN
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
II is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enrieher of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful In removing
serofnla and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuseles, and building
up the whole system. Get 1t today.

BY Beau Rialto.


New York, June 20.-Even in wicked
old New York folks won't stand for
everything and anything. The last
straw was placed on the eomplaeent
camel : overloaded back when the
plaintiff in recent breach of promise
and heart-balm suit against indiscreet
multi-milliOnare was grabbed up as a
headliner at local show house which
for years has depended on principals in
the sensational and sordid happenings
in the metropolis for its Big Acts.
For time this sort of thing got by.
The manager practically waited at the
doors of breach of promise courts. SEN
satiOna murder trial courtroOms and at
exits of chambers where lurd divorce
proceedings were being heard, to snatch
one or more of the principals as head
liners. After the second Thaw trial the
SOrdid portion of the public including
many who resent that appellatiOn, was
given an opportunity to give Evelyn
Nesbit the Once Over by this euterpris-
ing management. After young hus-
band had sued his wife for divorce for
posing for artists in the altogether and
sundry spicy actions this same manage
ment signed up the woman in the case
to do series of So-called living pie
lures. There was absolutely nothing in
the act to command it. The woman
didn t even have good figure,
A little later an admitted woman of
the demi monde who had inveigled the
son of an extremely wealthy man high
in exclusive New York and Newport
social circles, into marrying her, sued
her youthful husband for maintenance.
The papers "played up the risque de-
tails of the suit, and when the woman
lost she was "tal;en on at this
theater There are dozens Of other
similar eases. The one which finally
sickened the public, however, was the
employment of q young woman who
recently sued fabuously wealthy man
for heart balm because he stopped pay
ing her some $4,000 a year to keep up
the handsome apartments she lived in in
Riverside Drive. The young woman
had never seen a stage except from the
audience side of the footlights The
only claim she had TO fame was her
admittedly shady relations with the
millionaire She had received much
publicity in the newspapers. however.
The first few nights the usual crowd
of morbid and curious flocked to see the
woman falter and stumble through her
"act" but New York has tired. The
crowds have stopped going. 1t is to be
hoped they treat the next "act' OF
this kind in similar fashion.

reasons for the numerous failures that

HOW FANAT1cIsM FAILS.

"The fanatic sees but one thing in
the world, and never for a moment let's
his eye rest on any other object or
lightens the pressure of his will. He
is almost always honest; he is rarely
charitable, and he never sees beyond
the horizon of the particular movement
in which he is interested. He arrests
attention, but men of large vision, with
a broader and more human outlook ac-
complish the purpose which always ap-
pears in the end as part Of u wider
movement. AS result Of the sense
of relative values, the fanatic often
puts back the cause he espouses; he is
always for mending the bulge in the
kettle by one smashing blow, to recall
Spencer's illustration-forgettiug that
if the kettle is not to be destroyed the
bulge must be reduced by thousand
lighter blows distributed over broad
surface. THE Outlook.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when II is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever nine

Portland, Oregon, June 19.-An ap,
peal to Congress to grant pensions to
Indian war veterans on the same basis
as those paid to soldiers of the Clvll
War was contained in the resolutions
adopted at the meeting of the pioneers
last night.
Further resolutions were passed ex-
pressing sympathy with the family OF
the late f. X. Matthieu, an honored
pioneer of 1912 and the first president
of the association. sympathy also was
extended to the families of other pio-
neers who have passed away within
the last year.
The State Legislature was petitioned
to care for pioneer cemeteries, a vote
of thanks was extended to the people
of Portland, and particularly to the
Woman s Auxiliary of the Pioneer AS
sociation, for their bOuntiful hospital
ity in entertaining the annual reunion.
Approval was expressed OF the plan
to secure by legislative enactment fur
ther support of the Oregon Historical

WASH t much of a place for those OF
the younger generation.
Everything Is in Chinook.
Nearly all the speaking, most of the
singing and every bit of the laughing
was in the Chinook language.
And it wash t the kind of Chinook
that is learned fro mboOks. 1t had
been taught the "old-timers by the
Indians themselves. They pronounced
the words with the proper accent and
used the correct Chinook idiOms.
Probably the most entertaining talk
was that of Il. B. Mcfarland, repre-
senting the +" Unimproved Order of Red
Men. With elaborate manual gestures
comieal facial contOrtions and much
elocutionary emphasis, he protested, in
Chinook fashion, against the habit Oh

aboriginal reserves. Laughter frequent
ly interrupted his monologue.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway gave a
brief address and was loudly applauded
before, during and after.
Other speakers were Ex-Governor l.
IT, Geer, Ezra Meeker and half score
of pioneer men and women, who extern
pOraneously expresses their pleasure at
being present.
Music was provided by Mrs. MaDle
Baker Layfield, cOntralto, with Mrs
Halle Baker Allen as aeeompanist. Mrs
Allen also gave some selected readings
Memories of the entire party went
back to their old courtin days when
II. n. Jackson and B. c. Bowers, early
