Unless some arrangements are made

by the government or private parties
to put on boats on the Willamette river
between Portland and Corvallis the
chances for the boat services are very
limited. 1t is understood that the Gra-

Grahamona and Pomona and with these
boats sold it would be difficult to re-
place them.

+, In the first act Of Forever After"
Miss Brady plays Jennie who is six
teen and half She looks so tiny
that we wondered how she possibly
managed it; and then, when we got
| back to her dressing room, we found
out. She has lost fifteen pounds and
is still going down. And she likes it.
Here is her formula for reducing, and
1T does seem as though if you followed
it long enough you would just simply
reduce to nothingness:
Miss Brady does just twice as much
work as any one else and she sleeps
on an average Of four hours a day.
Also, she eats only when she happens
to think of it. Lots of people have
solved the problem of how to get along
without eating or sleeping only they
don't get along, and Miss Brady does.
She is blooming like rose.
Besides playing eight performances
week as Jennie, she is working each
day at the studio making motion pict-
ures. Some achievement!
"You see" said Miss Brady, "by the
simple device of setting ones watch an
hour ahead at night he gains an hour.
When he thinks he is nice and lazy and
isn't getting up until s, he is in re-
ality getting up at T. It's a splendid
idea"
There is banal question which all
intprvjouerc orn SupDoooJ 70 oel, ,+,r
AS matter of fact. it is a fallacy, and
we, at least, have never been guilty of
propounding it. But now, if ever, one
would be justified in springing it. So
we said: "Tell US, Miss Brady, which
do You prefer the screen or the stage ?"
Miss Brady looked us squarelv in the
eye and said: (Which one of nv gowns
do you prefer"
"The third act one" we said-"the
yellow satin. Do you prefer the stage
to the screen ?"
u must show you that one close by.
1t is my favorite, too"
"Do you prefer the screen to the
stage?" and this time we got up to go.
Aren't those roses sweet? Wait a
moment and I'll give you some to
wear And Miss Brady held out some
American Beauties.
Miss Brady-please-do you-pre-
ter the stage or the screen"
Look out for that step there. Every

Alice Brady for Instance

1t isn't fair; but, then, things never
are divided up evenly in this world.
Now, take Alice Brady, for instance.
First she went and made big hit in
musical comedy, and it wasn't because
she was William Brady's daughter,
either. 1t was BECAUSE she had beau
tiful voice and that other thing which
Miss Brady declared at our first meet
ing to be the first requisite of a sue
cessful actress. viz. beautiful feet and
ankles
Miss Brady remembered this when
we went backstage to visit her at the
Central Theatre last week. and she said
that some one in Chicago read what we
had written and wrote her letter, say
ing: "Why, Alice! how about. brains
being the first requisite ~
Anyway, as we were saying: First
she went and made big hit in musical
comedy and then she up and made a
success in motion pictures, and now she
has scored a complete triumph on the
stage, first as siNteen-year- old girl
and then as a grown-up young lady
with broken heart. 1t is most aston
ishing. How does she do ito
Every one seems so amazed because
l have been able to please in my new
role of Jennie" said Miss Brady, as she
wrapped herself in a red and yellow
kimono and sat down on the floor in the
middle of her dressing room, while all
of her visitors stood about the walls
and occupied all of the space not taken
up by flowers. 1t is impossible ever to
see Miss Brady alone All of her
friends know that. so they go to call on
her in groups
at isn't at all flattering to have peo
pie so surprised because you have done
something halfway decent, is it?"
They all say, oh. after seeing your
motion picture work, I didn't dream
that you had it in you | wonder lust
what they mean. And here have been
thinking that l was so nice on the
screen. You see, you never can tell"
We'll" we answered. 1--WE must ad-
NIT that YOU surprised us when we
saw You play Jennie tonight. You
know, you're not such beauty on the
screen, and you are on the stage"
1t took courage to say this, but Miss
Brady didn't mind That is one Of the
nice things about Miss Brady: you can
talk to her just as though she were
