1.-THE SLACKER" STARS
A NATIVE AMERICAN
Emily Stevens in Metro Patriotic Pro-
ductiOn, Born in This Country.

Emily Stevens, star of Metros
special production de luxe, "The
Stacker" written and directed by
William Christie Cabanne, is mount
ing steadily higher in the artistic
armament. There Is not on the
American stage young woman of
more brilliant achievements, or great
er promise for the future. And 1.-THE
Stacker" places her at the zenith of
her powers.
1t ia fitting that Miss Stevens
should be chosen to play the leading
role in this superb photodrama Of
patriotism, for she comes of fine old
American stock. Emily Stevens is a
niece of Mrs. Fiske, the celebrated
actress. and the daughter of Robert
E. Stevens and Emma Maddern, also
prominent players. She made her
debut on the speaking stage with Mrs.
Fiske, playing the part of maid in
Becky Sharp" and she remained in
her aunt's company several years,
playing and studying stage technique.
After winning praise in Leah
Kleschna," she was given the leading
feminine role in "The Devil" with
George Arliss. Later she appeared
in William Locke's "Septimus. She
starred in"The Unchastened Woman"
in 1915 and 1915, and the early part
of 1917, then appearing on Broadway
in John Galsworthy's magnificent
drama, "The Fugitive"
This star, however, has come to the
full realization of her powers in her
motion picture work. She has never
appeared for any other company than
Metro Pictures Corporation, and for
that progressive firm has starred in

When Dorothy Phillips appears in

tre on Saturday, Dec. %, there will
be presented a social labor problem
play that will interest every class of
theatre-goer and give food for
thought on the question of the mater
ial welfare Of the working classes.
Miss Phillips will interpret the role
of mill girl who has submitted as
long as she can to the conditions that
have for generations surrounded her
kindred. The mill is the towns one

over-lords of the mill are the desti-

Stewart will come to gladden. the
hearts of Heppner people during the
later days of the Christmas season.
Anita takes the leading role in the
special Blue Ribbon feature, "The
Girl Philippa."
The play is taken from the story
by Robert W. Chambers and deals
with the war situation in Europe.
Miss Stewart takes the part of the
will-of-the-wisp girl, a bespangled
cashier in a cafe on the Franco-Ger-
man border. Fate gave her a varied
career. All the glamor and favor of
war, its romances, feeling and hidden
secrets are brought out in this great
film production.
"The Girl Philippa" will be shown
at the star theater December 1880.

Interpreted as War.

Washington. April Sin Latin
American diplomatic quarters here it
was said late today that DIR. Mullcr's
refusal to receive the German minister
to Brazil undoubtedly meant that the
government definitely had decided to
sever diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
DIR. Muller's order that n steamer be
prepared lat once for u mission
abroad" was interpreted as meaning
that the Brazilian government also
had determined to arrange for the i'm
mediate departure of the German Of
ficials. 1t was considered doubtful
that 46 German ships in Brazilian
ports would be seized at this time un -
less it should appear that the vessels
might attempt to escape or were in
danger of being damaged or destroyed
by their crews.

FOOD MOBILIZATION
TALK AT ST. LOUIS

st. Louis, April 9.--After plans and
Ideas for mobilization of the food
products of the country had been dis
cussed at the executive session to-
night of the agricultural conference
called by Secretary Houston, reports
from four sub committees appointed
at the morning session We're heard
and the conference adjourned until to-
morrow morning without taking any
action.
Although considerable opposition
developed to the proposal of experts
to appeal to congress to pass law
guaranteeing a minimum price for
farm labor and a minimum price to
the farmer for his products the belief
Of experts gained outside the con-
ference was that such an appeal would
be made.
1t also was apparent that experts
believed that this conference would
ask banks to loan money to farmers
at low rates with the understanding
that this money could not be obtained
by the farmer for any other purpose
than to increase his production.

Miss Rankin has made formal applica-

There is some talk of creating a new

the administration had decided to have

to war and revenue measures so that
congress could adjourn at least by May
ID. The committee therefore decided
not to report out any bills at this time
This indicates that there will be nc
