Film Man, Accused of Grand Larceny, Now in Custody at Portland PORTLAND, June 3.—His pecu- liar street attire was responsible for the arrest today of C. A. Pryor, man- ager of the Mexican war motion pic- tures, recently shown in a local vaude- ville theatre. He is accu.sed by the San Francisco authorities of grand larceny. Pryor was recognized by reason of a hat fashioned like those worn by stage Hibernians, and a long English walking coat. According to advices from San Francisco, Pryor started to promote the sale rights to the films in various territory, agreeing not to sell more than one film to any one person in a specified district. Pry- or is alleged to have broken this agreement. Pryor is president of the Duhem Motion Picture Manufactur- ing Co., 625 Oak Street, San Fran- cisco. He was released on $1000 bond, furnished by L. F. Cowan. J. M. Cole, the complainant in the case of Pryor, alleges that on April 20, I'114, he entered into a contract with I'ryor by which Cole paid Pryor $550 for exclusive rights of .showing The Mexican Revolution films in Dela- ware, New Jersey and Utah. He al- kgcs that Pryor sent him to Corey, Pa., where the films were supposed to he, and on May 17, when he got there, he found that the films had not shown up. Pryor told him by wire that the films were at Cincinnati, where Cole went, but they were not at the address given. Cole then returned to San h>ancisco and was told by Pryor that the films had gone astray and that a duplicate set had been sent only three days before to Cincinnati. This was on May 28. Cole immediately depart- ed for Cincinnati, where he received advices from Pryor that the films were at Providence. Upon informing Pry- or that he was without further funds with which to travel in pursuit of the pictures. Cole was told that Pryor could do nothing for him. Cole then returned to San Francisco and swore to a warrant for Pryor. Property rights and alimony having first [,cen arranged out of court. Judge Graham on Wednesday granted Mrs. Rose Bories an interlocutory decree of divorce from Leon Bories, manager of the General Film Com- pany in this city. In her complaint the wife charged Bories with taking a Mildred Jones on auto trips about the State, and with entertaining Miss Jones and other women in cafes. Spotlights The Frank Rich Company of musi- cal comedy players, numbering 18 persons, which closed a four-weeks' engagement at the Empress Theatre .Saturday night, are stranded here, and the members will give a benefit performance at the Empress next Tuesday night in an effort to raise sufficient funds to liquidate their in- debtedness to local hotels and restau- rants and pay their fares to Coast I)ooking centers. They will present a double bill, the principal offering being a tabloid musical farce, The Waiter and the Chef, followed by vaudeville by the chorus girls. "We have been tendered the use of the liouse by the management and have received assurance that the Musicians' L'nion will provide us with an orches- tra, wdiile the Theatrical Mechanics' .\s.sociation has promised to furnish a stage crew," said Dora Gardner, one of the principals, last night. "Nearly all of the company, except myself, are married, and some of them have little children, and we are in hard straits. Our inflebtcdness here amounts to not less than $300, and we arc doing our best to raise money to pay our obliga- tions. The girls are going out tomor- row to sell as many tickets as they can."— Spokane Spokesman - Rcviciv, May 18. Mail orders are coming in a lively rate for the engagement of Guy Bates Post in Omar the Tcntniakcr, Richard Walton Tully's great spectacle play, who is scheduled to follow William Hodge in The Road to Happiness, opening Sunday night, June 14. Omar the Tentmaker has made more com- ment than any production of the sea- son. The claim is made that it is the most elaborate piece of stagecraft that has yet been given in this conn- try. The third volume of The Drama League Series of Plays has come from the i)ress of Doubleday, Page & Co. It is The Great Galeoto, by the veteran Spanish dramatist, Jose Echegaray, and is in harmony with the preceding volumes. This play deals with the story of a wealthy man, his young wife and their protege, a young stu- dent and writer. Scandal professes an attachment between the wife and the protege. The rumor is false, but, oft rei)eated, becomes a fact, thus por- traying the influence of gossip on life. The i^lay reads exceptionally well and will 4)rove an interesting addition to the dramatic library of playgoers. It is not a matter of general knowl- edge that The ]\Ian from Home, which served William Hodge so well for six years, was not originally writ- ten for him, but for David Warfield. The latter expressed a desire to play a Hoosier, and Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson set to work to make the play. The Man from Home did not appeal to Warfield when it was completed, and the play found its way to the hands of George C. Tyler, ever a great admirer of Hodge, who saw great possibilities for this unique actor in the manuscri])t, and induced him to play the part. Bessie Barriscale will have a most irresistible role as Peggy in the pro- duction of Ernest Denny's comedy of love and laughter, All-of-a-Sudden I'eggy, at the Alcazar Theatre next week. Peggy is a little Irish girl with tile smile of Erin in the corner of her eye and the brogue of the Emerald Isle oil the tip of her tongue. ?vliss liar- riscale brings a delightful soft Irish brogue, family inheritance, to the part.

This lively concoction of fun and laughter was written by a vSan Francisco boy, Carlylc Moore, who for several years was the assist- ant stage director at the old .\lcazar Theatre before the fire. Some of the plays scheduled for the special summer .season of Bessie Barri- scale and Thurston Hall at the Al- cazar Theatre include Officer 666, Snow White, The Gho.st Breaker, The Case of Becky, and a number of other successes never before seen in stock.
