MARY P|CKFORD
MAY Be HONORED
Barrie May Select Her to
Play Peter Pam,
BY JACK JUNGMEYER
- OLLYWOOD. June 21-Wiu
RI Mary Pickford be Peter
- Pan" O. the films?

IH Mary Pickford be Peter
Pan" O the films?
Speculation long playing about her
name in this connection has been
given fresh impetus by the announce,
ment that Sir James NJ Barrie is to
select the player for the title role
in the Paramount screen version.
Barrie is known to be DESTROYS of
having Mary interpret the character
made famous on the stage by Maude
Adams, and is said to have so ex-
pressed himself soHcitously when
Miss Pickford on a previous trip to
England had tea with the author.
Declaration that Barries word
would be decisive was made by Jesse
L. Lasky, vice president Of Fa-
nous Players-Lasky, just before sail
ing for this conference. He took
with HIM the finished script Of
Peter Pan" to be produced this
summer by his company. He also
carried screen tests Of the many
aspirants for the role. They Will oe
shown to Barrie in London. having
been made by Herbert Brenon. who
Will direct the picture.
These tests. gathered over
period Of mont range from fore
most star to least known of
screen players.
I.asky denied that the purpose Of
his tri0 was to confer with Mary
Pickford, nov in Europe with her
husband, D glas Fairbanks, on a
vacation. But Mary had several
consultations with Adolph Zukor,
president of Paramount. while in
New York. And this fact, coupled
with the I.asky pilgrimage, has
prompted Hollywood to definite
prophecy.
"Of course Miss Pickford has been
mentioned for the part" said Lasky,
land from the first we decided that
Peter Pa need not be selected from
within our own organiZatiOn-but
the choice rests entirely with Sir
James,"

back in the old home town had
applied herself to keeping the candy
factory on a paying basis. and it is
10 her that he turns wnen the 70
nance of Broadway ceases to exer-

Cohan himself created the title role
which will be played by Eddy Wal
Ter. The girl who makes a success
of the candy business will be por-
trayed by Jean Oliver. and the rest
of the company will be cast in con-
genial roles.

Narrative of the Fire

=
Narrative of the Fire
The hotel in which the fire
originated was near DR.. Frank
Wenz's two story brick building
and residence and these were
ignited from the woodshed in rear
of the hotel and were both burned,
destroying DR.. HOLSTERS dental
Offices and the law offices of Miles
F. Egbers on the upper floor,
while the main fire, gaining head
way and licking greedily at the
row of wooden sheds all along the
alley in the rear, caught on the
roof of the brick annex OF the
Russell block, occupied by ].
Biemond's meat market and Stew
art Skinner's garage.
The main three story Russell
block, itself, was soon in flames and
crumbled to ruin, burning out
Reiniger's hardware store and
Wendler's confectionery, and apart
ments in the upper stories. The
front wall fell outward, the bricks
scattering across the street and
against the curb on the north side
where men we're busy keeping the
wooden fronts damp with wet
sacks.
Aid From Occur d'Alene
1t was at the time the Russell
block was burning that the
Ceur d'Alene triple combination
1000 gallon American LaFrance
FIRE engine with a crew of eight
men under Chief E. D. Brink, got
into action, playing two streams
of water on the flames.
Residences on the south half OF
the block were burning and intense
heat and flying brands carried the
fire across Mill street to dwellings
and sheds in rear of the brick store
of Evans Supply company. In
quick succession the recently
tarred roofs of the Evans store and
the Hart block, the oldest brick
building in Kootenai county, were
blazing 6ercely, while the Brad
bury frame building, occupied by
the post office and Adams confec-
tionery and the A. D. Robinson
frame structures occupied by
F Farnsworth's feed store and
SINNERS storage garage, were re-
duced to ashes in an incredibly
short time, taking with them the
telephone exchange.
Spokane Sends Help
All efforts to save the Evans and
Hart bricks were unavailing, and
the Meyer store and Masterson
pool hall were badly damaged and
the upper rooms wiped out. Tar
roofs on these buildings held the
fire persistently for hours, resisting
the eudeavors OF the Ceur d'Alene |
fire fighters and those Of the
Spokane No. 10 fire engine which |
arrived later with Captain c. A. |
Cooper and four men and joined |
the other in pumping powerful
streams from Mill creek which
flows through the town. However,
the walls remained intact and held
the heat back from the opposite
side of the street. The basement
also remained intact.
In the meantime the fire reduced
to ashes the old Klopf building on

will be started clearing away the
debris. Reconstruction will follow,
but probably not Immediately 10 the
same extent as before. The lots
burned over are the most desirable
business locations in town. =
The w. A. Hart brick, the entire
walls Of which are believed to be
intact, will undoubtedly be restored.
So, too, with the Evans building.
The brick walls OF the Wenz building
are also standing and it is believed
those Of the lower story can be saved.
In the upper story the walls are
badly cracked. The stone walled
easements all along the street are
available for use in erecting new
buildings.
Merchants and others out of busi-
ness on account of the fire include
Henry Reiniger, Evans Supply
company and J. Biemond. They
expect to resume as soon as quarters
can be made ready.
Others who salvaged a part of
their stocks are occupying temper

the north side Of The street. These
include Peter Meyer. Emil Wendler,
