Saturday afternoon the city editor informed me you were coming to town; that you were a former Seattle stock actress who had gone East and made GOOD; you were worth a story; that you were to open at the Metropolitan Sunday night in your big New York success, East Is West,” and it would be a good idea for me to try to get an interview with you Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon—my one day of rest, and ordinarily inter- views are such tiresome things. Fay, I must frankly admit at that moment right down in my heart I wished you weren't com ing to town. And for that I want to apologize. There are énterviews—and in- terviewers, but interviewing Fay Bainter is a rare privilege. It proved to be one of the most de- lightful assignments I have ever been on. Miss Bainter is sojourning at the Boulevard Inn. Her’, on the second floor, she has a beauti- ful big apartment commanding a ‘wonderful view of Lake Washington. She was not ex- pecting company when I arrived and her maid informed me that “if you don't mind, Miss Bainter will see you in her boudoir.” I was ushered into the room where Miss Bainter, clad in a modest turquoise blue negligee, (Turn to Page 7, Column 4) Played Stock Here | Returns a Famous Star; Unchanged MAHONEY FRETS.

This force will rapidly be ex- panded, according to M. dJobanson, manager of the club, until every deserving man in Seattle who needs work will be given enough employment to keep his family from hunger, at least. The work will be ra tioned out by a system of rota ton. The camp is In charge of A. Amundson, veteran woods fore man in the Puget Sound coun- wry. Monday he was busy super- intending erection of the camp cook house, material for which was donated by the Netticton Lamber Co. the West Water- way fainter Ca, the Columbia Valley Lumber Co., the Wood- land Hardware Co., the Dress- lar Hardware Co. the Suess Glass Co., and the Seattle Hard- ware Co. To date the club has received orders for approximately 1,000 cords of wood, to be delivered in Seattle at $7 per cord. Orders are being received daily from out-of-town for delivery in car- load lots. ‘The wood delivered for $7 per cord will come in fourfoot lengths, the plan being to create jobs in town, as well as out of town, Married men with families will be given first preference at the camp, and as people receive the wood in town, the single men will be furnished with tem- porary jobs in cutting the wood into shorter lengths, for instance, into 16-inch lengths, at $1 a cord.
