Sherry's Sunday und Monday.
"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.

"SUSAN ROCKS THE BOAT"
Triangle-Fine Arte Comedy With Gish
and Moore. Reviewed by Thomas
C. Kennedy in Motography.
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. I

He said the funniest thing that hap

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

that Charley Chaplin can't write his

absurd. Mr. Chaplin is a most re

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
