bCfcNE FROM "THE PRICE OF MALICE'
AT ARCADE.
Worrie of Fairbanks in "Double
Trouble."
Douclas Fairbunks get into all
kinds of trouble in "Double Trouble,"
Triangle comedy which will amuse
patrons of the Arcade theater Sunday.
But all the t-.oubles of Fairbanks wit:
. only add to t'h enjoyment and inter
est of the play. Fairbanks is a jrood
young banker who is principally in
demand by the old ladies of his church
to fill the presidency of the Sibbath
Day society. Then he goes away for
a vacation.
Fairbanks is struck on the head by
a holdup man, and then his amusing
adventures begin. Wakinjr up in a
xtranfre place, he forjfets everything
of his former life and begins a new ca-
rjcr as Mr. Brassfield. He strikes oil
and wins a fortune. This leads to his
frominence in politics, and he becomes
eading candidate for mayor. He bo,
comes engaged to a beautiful yount;
woman (Marjorie Wilson) and is also
paying some attention to a girl knowu
as Strawberry (Clayds BrockweM.)
Theri is a strong scene where Fair
banks is seen groveling on the floor
of a Pullman, having suddenly re
covered his personality as Mo. mn
Amidon after five years of iifi? as
B:nssnul. He meets a friend, Judge
Blodgett, and they make their way to
a clairvoyant, Who changes Amidon
buck to lii-ussftuld.
Fairbanks is tranced back to the
gcntlo Amidon, and so he remains un
til he shows his inefficiency as a busi
ness man. Then the medium makes
him aggressive Brossfield.
:"A Janitor's Wife's Temptation"
: Rapid Farce. .
Fied Mace has ample opportunity
for comic facial and bodily activity in
."A Janitor's Wife's Temptation," ih?
Triangle comedy to be produced at the
j Arcade theater Sunday. Just as Fred
, Mace is prepa:ing to dine on a piece
of steak in his basiment home his
'wife (Martha Golden) makes him go
;out in the hall and dust some rug;s.
i She sends the meat up to Gribbon, a
i hungry artist on an upper floor, who
i has got a whiff of the cooking meal
jand sent down a hurry call to the jan
itor's wife.
j A party of models come into the
hull and start talking to Mace. Mar
' :a Goldert b.eaks up this pleasant s?s
1 sion by her sudden appearance, but
her anger is nothing compared to hi
j when 'r.e discovers the piece de resist
ance of his meal has disappeared.
I Next Gribbon flees with the jani
i tor's wife, who takes a roll of bill;
i'from the landlord's safe. Mac is
arrested on suspicion, but is released.
Mace finds Gribbon with his wife in
a fashionable cafe and pursues him
to the roof, where Mace is thrown

Portland censors, has finally been

This film story of the underworld
was condemned by a viewer, then con

with the elimination of a number of

cording to reports is to receive its

And among the important an
nouncements coming from William
Fox this week are that Pauline Barry
says there are only 600 original Strad

knows how to bake sweet potatoes;
that Ormi Hawley thinks milk is bet

poses, and that Stuart Holmes has
made a joke about Villa. The week
has heen very full of news. N
Motion-picture stars of both sexes
are continually receiving proposals of
marriage in letters from admirers,
but it is doubtful if the note recently
received by Clara Kimball Young was
ever equaled for brevity and frank
ness. It came from a small town in
the bustling Middle West and reads:
"I'm a good Baptist, but even if you
are an actress I am willing to marry
