AT THE MOVIES Wif"'' 'ii;,v' ' .-. iff V "DIVINE SAUAH" WHO IS FEA TURE OK FILM AT SHERRY'S Dore"' and filmed since Bernhardt re covered from amputation of one limb at the knee, has a tone of -tragedy in it, and Bernhardt has splendid oppor tunity to utilize that wonderful facial expression of her's. She sits mostly, in me picture, some times-' moving about but when she does it was per fectly consistent that she employ the arms of friends. The story deals with a victim of the gambling lust, and his son who falls the victim of a vampire. There is a continuous run of heavy acting for Bernhardt to do, and she does it wonderfully well though no one in the audience, knowing her in firmities and aware that she is 71 and over, can watch her performance with out a pang of sympathy for the great est actress of ages. The picture is unique in that Bern hardt is almost continually in the pic ture, in sham contrast to the usual custom for when she first bowed to the screen she -was want to cut iber acts to the minimum. The pictureruns again tonight for the last time.. It is not the storv but the presence of Divine Sarah in it that makes the film worth while and one that will long linger in the mind of him who sees it. LAST TIME TONIGHT AT ARCADE. Julia Dean's New Play In mony." 'Matri- A realistic and convincing drama of society life is "Matrimony," C. Gard- , nor Sullivan's new play, which will be jriven by the Triangle combination at the, Arcade theatre Wednesday and . Thursday. Julia Dean wears some wonderful creations of Fifth avenue modistes, and Thomas H. Ince has achieved some charming effects in the furnishings of the various rooms in which the action takes place. How ard Hickman as Woston Roomnorc. the fickle husband, is the society man to the finger tips and goes smoothly about his wicked way of falling in love with every siren that casts her eyes his way. When Julia Dean us the neglected wife suddenly changes her tactics and begins to flirt with all the men she meets there is a subtle change in Hickman as the husband. He begins to lose interest in the women around him in watching the spectacle of his formerly subdued and domestic mate. Finally he thinks it is time to inter fere after he ihias found that his little hints serve no purpose. On his failure the way Hickman turns for comfort to the love of his little daughter (Thelma Salter) is the very picture of the fond father. It all ends up with a happy reconciliation. "Stolen Magic." Raymond Hibchcockrg contribution to bbe Triangle program at the Ar cade Wednesday and Thursday is a burlesque on East Indian conjuration entitled "Stolen Magic," in which he is ably assisted by Mack Sennett, Mabel Normand and other well known Keystone nctors. Mr. Hitch cock appears in the role of a traveler liom India who wrings back to Amer ica a work on magic and a collection of sacred snakes. The Brahmin seek ing to recover the magic scroll is mixed up in the proceedings. An in teresting "cutback" shows how Hitch cock stole the magic book from an East . Indian temple and how the nnutch girls danced weirdly before him. The Hindu pursuer is a bomb thrower, and there are some funny moments when Hitchcock and Sennett get unwelcome possession of the bomb. AT SHERRY'S Divine Sarah Wins. La Grande theatre goers saw the Divine Sarah (Bernhardt) perform last evening at Sherry's theatre in spite1 of her recent infirmities. The film adapted from the novel "Jeanne CHAIN WOOD WASTE OF INK GREAT HERE. Traveler Wants ; People to Know Where His Home Is. at Least. Minneapolis', April 2U. He entered the West hotel, a fine, courtly South ern gentleman, very affable and gen ial. And this is what he wrote on the register: "Hinton Graves Lee, resident in Augusta, Ga., prior to February 1, and in Georgia state since 1852, now resi dent at Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan." Clerks A. D. Hein and A. M. Shar tin looked it over and Jiad a whispered consultation. "Think of it,'' wild Hein, "Why the ink firm could afford to pay the trav eling expenses and a good salary to Mr. iLee. If that habit ever spreads there wouldn't be ink enough in the United States to go around." Wall Street at least can congratu late herself that Brandeis has been eliminated as a Presidential possibility Kanesburg Illuminator.
