The Mexican situation, exhaustless
source of comment and discussion, has
again been taken advantage of by
Bluebird Photoplays to create the en
tertainment to be provided at the
Sherry theatre today and tomorrow
under the title of "The Chalice of
Sorrow," a tragedy in which Clco
MadiBon, Wedgewood Nowell and
Charles Cummings arc introduced to
the popular Bluebird scries as lead
ing players. '
Miss Madison is' called upon, in
"The Chalice of Sorrow" to do some
of tho most intonsely emotional act
ing ever shown in the silent drama.
She depicts a range of emotion that
extends from the extreme of delight,
ir. securing public acclaim in the suc
cessful Vole of an opera singer, to the
depths of despair to picture a wom
an's battle against intrigue and vil
lainy and then finally witness the
crumbled heap of her heart's greatest
Iovo lying dead, responselcss to her
grief.
The sharp contrast between joy and
despair; the transition from happiness
to unspeakable sorrow has been pic
tured by Miss Madison in superb pan
tomime. Her assisting players have
each to interpret .roles that make for
perfect entertainment, and they have
been selected solely for their individ
ual fitness to meet requirements. Be
sides Mr. Nowell and Mr. Cummings,
the work of John McDermott, Blanch
White, Howard Crampton, Albert Mc
Quarrie and Rhea Haines will disclose
these pluyers as artists in the full
sense of tho term.
Bluobirds have been distinctive
among feature photoplays for the ex
cellence of the acting, the complete
ness of tho production and the super
ior direction that has been evidenced
in these screen-plays already given to
the public and there is assurance
thnt "The Chalice of Sorrow" will
maintain in every detail the remark
ably fine standard Bluebirds have at
tained. To be a Bluebird the play
must be good; for if it is not a good
play it cannot become a Bluebird.

The fight rcene in 'The Apostle of
Vengeance" depicts Hart, as the Her
culean young minister-son of a feud
ist, engaged in fistic .-ombat wit'i ar.

the latter attacks a girl in the moun
tains. To equip the f-cene with a new

This enabled him to send his opponer t

Preacher W. S. Hart Douses Foe in
I New Feudist Drama.
William S. Hart, tho Triangle star,
who comes to the Arcade tomorrow,
has fought so many fights for the
films, since his advent into the motion
picture fold, that many of his follow
ers are disappointed if he makes his
appearance in a drama that does not
offer him the opportunity of display
ing his prowess.
The stalwart hero of Triangle
. "westerns" realizes this and so cher
' ishes the chance to "mix it" with an
' antagonist during the filming of each
of his plays. But he realizes, too, that
to stage the same kind of fight in each
production is to invite a decrease of
! interest in his work. Hence, it was

Come In 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 date
of payment and pay at your own bank. You can pay
any amount of your loan at any time- 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.
