It is probable that no motion pic ture has yet been produced with such a roster of stars as "Avenging Con acience," the remarkable D. W. Grif fith feature, which opens at the Ar - cade theater Wednesday and will run for two days. The entire cast of "The Birth of a Nation" will be found in "Avenging Conscience," with the addition of Blanche Sweet. The octet of most notable stars is: Blanche Sweet, Mae Marsh, Robert Haitron, Josephine Crowell, Henry B. Walthall, Ralph Lewis; George Sieg man, Spottiswoode Aitken. Interest " accrues especially to "Avenging Conscience" from the fact that it is the most costly picture ever exhibited in La Grande. Moreover, Mir. ' Griffith asserts it is a greater picture than his "The Birth of a Na tion," and is his supreme achieve ment. "Avenging Conscience";' delves into the psychology of the mind. It is pic turized from some of Poe's works and may be described as the human con science thrown on to 1 the screen in pictutres. Thus do scenes float from heaven to hell. ; (Weird visions are seen. : Even the visualization of a murderer's imagination that he can hear the heart of a dead man still beating is portrayed. . Never has Mr. Walthall done a more notable piece of work. Has mas terful characterization is set off won derf ully by the sweetness and delicacy of Miss Sweet. . . .
