"THE PHANTOM"

Franl; Keenan in. Trianglo-Ince Crook
Story. Kcviewi'd by Thomas C.
Kennedy in Motography.
"Tho Phantom," the Triangle play
at the Arcade, today und tomorrow,
presents Frank Kcenan in an excel
lent characterization of a society
crook. The play by J. G. Hawks
(fives him an attractive part and as
all who hnvo seen Mr. Keenan's for
mer screen performances know ho is
on actor requiring nothing more than
that to carry the spectator's intere3t
from tho beginning to the end of five
reels.
"The Phantom," however, is not de
pendent upon the work of the cast to
make it a particularly good Triangle
offering. The story is good and the
direction of Charles Giblyn realized
all that is best in tho play. Tho cle
ment of mystery has here been deftly
handled and "The Phantom" at no
time permits the spectator's interest
to lag.
A crook named Farrell is known by
the police as "The Phantom." At the
beginning of the picture he is warned
by a detective to leave town immedi
ately. Farrell has other plans and he
has ro intention of complying with
Blaisdcll's request.
A certain James Bereton is tho
' owner of a valuable necklace which
Farrell is interested in and on the oc
casion of a reception at the Bereton
home he is welcomed as a guest and
generally believed to be a detective.
During the course of the evening the
host removes the famous jewels from
the safe and displays them to the
guests. At this moment the lights
are extinguished and when they nro
agnin turned on the necklace has dis
appeared. The mystery of tho thing is not ex
plained until Farrell openly accuses
Dr. RatclifTo, who was brought to tho
affair by Bereton's son. When the
I detectives arrive Farrell and his as
sistant make good their escape from
' a house which should be thankful for
his visit, for the younger Bereton hasl
been freed from the obligations
which bound him to the crooked Rat
clifTe. Farrell walks away content
with having met such a delightful per
son as Avice Bereton, and, because of
her, not in the least sorry for having
left without the prize he set out af
ter. Enid Markcy is Avice Bereton and
she appeals in the role. Robert Mc
Kim, P. D. Tabler, Charles K. French
and J. Barney Sherry complete the
cast, each member of which is entitled
to praise.
EMERALD EDITOR IN CITV
Harold Hamstreet Calls Upon La
Grande and Wallowa Friends.
rj j 'Based on Frederic S. Ishsm's wide
U. j ly popular novel, "The Social Buc
T car.oer," a Bluebird photoplay of
promised excellence, i.-, to be the at
traction at the Sherry theatre, last
showing toduy, with J. Warren Ker
rigan, Louise Lovely, Maude George,
Harry Carter, Haward Mack and
other skilful members of the Blue
bird organization, depicting the stir
ring and engaging episodes. Those
who have read the story will be inter
ested in seeing it photoplayed, and
for others who have not perused the
narrative there is assurance of splen
did entertainment, regardless.
Epitomizing the plot: Chattfield
Bruce, an American in China, ob
serves the methods of a pirate who
robs the rich shipowners to give rice
to the poor. Bruce is so impressed
with the idea that he decides, upon
returning home, to make a similar
division of wealth, insofar as he can,
by similar methods. Robin Hood
practiced the same scheme centuries
ago; but the dashing Englishman is
not known to have landed in the cheer
ful lap of matrimony in the fashion
Bruce ultimately accomplished.
The happy ending to Bruce's ad
ventures in high society, where he
filched jewels, pearls and precious
stones from the over-wealthy, was not
attained without hair-breadth escapes
from detection. Far from such;
Bruce had various tight squeezes be
fore the one in final matrimonial cli
max. Thus the story is carried along
in breezy episodes without very seri
ous harm befalling anybody in par
ticular, barring, of course, the disap
pearance of costly jewels and the
nerve-racking attendant thereon.
J. Warren Kerrigan, to his thou
sands of admirers, will typify the bold
and reckless hero of the piece, and
Louise Lovely, correctly named if
a girl ever -was, will impersonate a
heroine charming enough to reform
if she

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.
