Sherry's Today and Tomorrow.
How a girl rises from life in tho
slums of Iyondon to one of the highest
places in English society, then falls
suddenly, when the deception by which
she had climbed is disclosed, is told in
Theda Barai's new subject for William
. Fox, "Her Double Lifo."
Miss Barn takes the part of Mary
Doone, the tenement child who makes
her home in The Refuse, a parish
house at which Elliot Clifford (A. H.
Van Buren) is pastor. When the call
comes for war nurses, Mary answers.
At tho front she meets Uoyd Stan
ley (Stuart Holmes), a war cor
aespondent, whom she had known in
London. She is saved from dishonor
at Stanley's hands, by the bombard
ment of the hospital tent. After the
attack, Mary finds the body of a young
girl in the tent. It is Ethel Wardley
(Madeleine l Nard), a niece of Lady
Clifford's, who is on her way to make
her home with the aunt she has never
seen.
Mary changes clothes with Ethel,
takes the girl's papers and luggage,
and goes to Lady Clifford's. She is
received as the niece. Tho aunt
(Lucia Moore) loves tho girl, and El
liot, the son, soon fnlis in love with
her himself.
Then Stanley returns to England.
Ho brings with him Ethel Wardley,
who has recovered from the wounds
.received on the battle line. They iro
together to tho Clilford.s, and are
alxnit to disclose the truth about
Mary, when the poor girl confesses.
She sees then that further lifo with
the Cliffords is impossible, although
J.ady Clifford loves her so much that
she wants her to stay. But Mary re
turns to The Kofuge, to work out her
salvation among tho little children.

Louise Huff Coming.
Girls of the sweetly sympathetic
type are ideally suited to screen in
terpretation by dainty little Louise
Huff, who was recently seen on tho
screen in the Famous Players produc
tion "Destiny's Toy." Miss Huff is
now being presented by the same com
pany in "The Reward of Patience" in
which she plays a Quaker girl under
the direction of Robert G. Vignola.
Miss Huff is the typical Quaker girl
type and her beauty, appealing per
sonality and really wonderful his
tronie ability add greatly to the ef
fectiveness of the production.
A point of unusual interest in this
production is the fact that Lottie Pick-
ford, sister of the celebrated Mary,
makes her re-appearance on the
screen after a long rest. Miss Pick-
ford plays the so-called "heavy" role
of the society wife who deserts her
husband and child and finally meets a
well-deserved fate.
Exceptional efforts were made to
get just the proper settings for this
picture, the atmosphere of the Quaker
village in which the story opens be
ing of the utmost importance in giv
ing tho picture charm and especial in
terest. Those who see "The Reward
of Patience" at the Arcade where it
is the attraction this week, will
realize that the efforts were more than
worth while. Particularly charming
is the waterfall near which so much
of the early part of the action
transpires.

Come la And Let Me Tell You About My
New Farm Loan
A 20 Year Amortized' Rural Credit Loan
No Commission No Renewals
TO UNION COUNTY FARMERS:-
For several years I have been working and
planning for easier money to loan on good old Grand
Ronde farm lands.
Finally I have arranged with one of the largest
loaning companies (a company that has $85,000,000
loaned to the farmers of the West) for a real Rural
Credit loan based on a 20-year amortized plan. 20
equal payments of but little more than current in
terest pays off your entire debt.
You pay no commissions, choose your own data
of payment and pay at your own bank. You can pay
any amount of your loan at anytime " This plan
figures you a saving of nearly 3 per cent over the
usual farm loan made heretofore in this county. If
interested call and let me explain fully.
