"Tho Weakness of Strength," the latest Popular Plays and Players re lease on the Metro program, starring Edmund Breese, the eminent dramatic actor, will be Been here on Sunday and Monday at the Sherry theatre. Ed mund Breese, the eminent stage star, is the headlincr, and with all who know his artistic and powerful pre sentations the mention of his name i3 enough. But in addition there is tho world-famous" Ormi Hawley, who is known to every moving picture audi ence in America; Evelyn Brent, who has been playing Btar leads in Popu lar Plays and Players productions, starred with Dorothy Green in "The Devil at His Elbow." "Th Weakness of Strength" is a plav showing tho emptiness of power, A big man puts his conscience and his sympathies under his heel and be comes rich and powerful. Then he finds that he is hated und despised, even by the woman he loves. He is brought to a realization of himself by the caresses of a little child. The star pnrt is just the sort of part that Edmund Breese can play with certainty, lie gives the role a tre mendous reality and stands out in a play of action und tense interest as u master llgure.

Dorothy Gish as a society girl with a large fortune and Owen Moore in the role of Larry O'Neil, the son of an ex-political boss, who lives in the slum district and, though their intel lectual superior, he consorts with un derworld characters, are the featured players in "Susan Rocks the Boat," which is a melodramatic comedy com ing from the Fine Arts Studio. We have seen Dorothy Gish in parts much better suited to her, but she is an actress of natural and acquired skill , so her performance as Susan is not: in the least disappointing, while Owen Moore is a very good Larry O'Neil. Leading the spectator along a well beaten path "Susan Rocks the Boat" arrives in the slums, the place screen patrons have grown to know so well, and continues on through a romance fundamentally quite conventional. Despite the fact that one never was in doubt as to what would eventually happen, the director brought "Susan Rocks the Boat" to a thrilling-climax, one that is sensational, but there is no denying that it thrills. The melo dramatic suspense coming out of a situation which shows a young, inno cent girl locked in room with a sa- i t i j ; loon Keeper wnose aesires nre evil spelled with a capital E, is brought out in its full power and duration in this picture. Paul Powell is the producer of this story by Bernard McConville. The picture opens with some humorous scenes introducing Susan Johnstone as a society girl who is bored with her present life. She reads a few para graphs of a story about Joan of Arc, und determines to use her time, ener gy and money in uplifting the poor. Susan founds a mission in the slums and she is an easy mark for all the fakers in the district. When Larry O'Neil exposes one or two cases of hypocrisy Susan becomes vexed and her displeasure centers in Larry. But this Larry regrets rather than resents und he uses brawn in upholding her good name, and when Susan hears about it she again looks with favor upon Larry. Susan has an idea that she can ac complish a great good by persuading Jim Cardigan to convert his saloon in to an ice cream parlor. Cardigan has only to pretend he is taken with the idea to lead Susan to his private office, one flight up a stairway whose loca tion and appearance are all against it. Susan once in the room realizes and struggles with Cardigan. It is hero that Mr. Powell used very effective means to give tho story all the power of its melodramatic self. Larry final ly learns the state of affairs and res cues Susan, receiving a bullet wound that is the means of bringing the romance to a happy culmination. The supporting cast is made up of j capable players, including Fred J. j Butler, Clyde E. Hopkins, James O'Shea and Fred Turner. The settings j add to the realistic quality of general action that is highly satisfactory and j the photography is good enough to I merit special mention. This picture will be shown at the Arcade theatre Sunday.

LKtrwu He said the funniest thing that hap pens to him is continual hard work. A representative of a Film company visited his patron in La Grande this week and asked if there was any thing he could do for them or if they had any complaints to make. He nearly dropped dead when the man ager answered that there were no complaints and that the service and treatment received from the exchange was perfectly satisfactory. Can any one guess what company gives 100 per cent efficiency? w The two highest priced film artists in the world played in I-a Grande, Saturdsy night, Mary Pickford and Chas. Chaplin. The continual rumor that Charley Chaplin can't write his name, and is a rough neck is most absurd. Mr. Chaplin is a most re fined educated young man very retir ing in manner, spunks with an English accent, is a most graceful dancer, hav ing originated the Chaplin Skip which is very popular in the large cities. Mr. Chaplin can write his name plain enough that the Mutual company paid six hundred thousand dollars for it. The writer knows Mr. Chpnlin (no tice the Mr.) very well and knows whereof he speaks.
