By C. C. CHAPMAN. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 25. Pert land's campaign for the Liberty Bonds was fanned t fever heat Tuesday. The wonderful feature about it is that a motion picture accomplished it. Re markable as was the speech of Cyrus i Peirce, member of the national speak ers committee or tne liberty Loan, more striking was the official French picture "In tha Wake of the Huns," which absolutely gripped and enthrall ed a vast audience.

Working it up to a magnificent climax with the victorious French troops advancing finally en thusing completely the audience with the first portrayal of Amernnari troops in France. "No words of mine," said Peirce, "cap be a grater advertisement for the Liberty Bends than this amazing pictorial portrayal of what Germany has done and .vould do to America had she but the, chance." The Peirce meeting is expected to give tho Portland campaign a tremen dous impetus. GERMAN AM) UNITED STATES WAR LOAN COMPARED MARY PICKFORD IN "REBECCA OF SUNNY BROOK FARM. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.

MARY PICKFORD MAKES BIG HIT AS REBECCA. In direct contrast to her more re cent characterizations of powerful Ciumatic qualities. Mary PickfoH's next screen portrayal Is none other than that of the popular figure in American literature, "Rebecca of Sun nybook Farm." During the past year ''Our Mary" has received countless re quests for her appearance in this la mous subject and her picturization of quaint little Rebecna is in direct com pliance with pupular demand. Mary Pickford's presentation of "The Poor Little Rich Girl" will 'ive long in the hearts of American picture patron In this child part the sweet little actress icored one of her very greatest successes and her adaptabil ities to such potrayal were generally conceded to be her most notable ac complishments. However, even great er than "The Poor Little Rich Girl" is Rebecca, who has become a favorite National charanter; in fact, a Nation al type established not only in this, but in other countries as well. Replete with native wit of the rural districts and the whole-Jume charm of untram meled American girlhood, this story .offers Mary Pickford a character that it ii. generallf felt, will prove the crov.ng achievement of her wonder ful career. One of the best sellers of the age, the book of Kate Wiggin is undoubt edly the mo3t popular work of this1 well-known writer. On the stage "Re banca of Sunnybrook Farm," dramat ized by Charlotte Thompson and Mrs. Wiggin, immediately took hold of the hearts of the great play-going public and effected another triumph for the spoken drama. With Mary Pickford in the title role of its anreen presen tation, offering the wide scope of the motion picture, however, this subject will meet with even far greater favor than ever before. Adapted to the screen by Frances Marion, one of the very foremost writers' connected with the cinema, and staged under the capable direction of Marshall Neilan, the youthful pro ducer whose sensational accomplish ments in the film drama have created countrywide attention, Mary Pick- fords new offering, released by Art craft Pictures, offers a rare treat to her vast army of admirers. This photo play will be shown at the Arcade on Friday and Saturday and the management urges all who possibly can dj so, to come to the mat inees' and thus avoid the large evening crowds.
