j SHERRY'S
NEWEST MARY GARDEN FILM,
"THE SPLENDID SINNER," HERE
The immediate result of Mary Gar
den's sensational success in Goldwjm's
"'Thais," in' which she made her debut
1n motion pictures, is her appearance
in a second Goldwyn production. Par-
, . fcuaued to essay another role before
. returning to the operatic stage, the
great diva electa to portray a woman
of. today, created expressly by Kate
Jordan for the further display of Mary
Ourden's extraordinary gifts as an
actress in the silent drama. The re
sult is "The Splendid Sinner1," said to
bo fully representative of the Goldwyn
ntandard in modem production and to
touch a new height in story-telling as
well. It is in this powerful play of
today that Mary Garden is presented
at the Sherry Theatre todny only.
A comedy also will be shown. .
"The Prussian Cur."
The amazing crimes of the Kaiser's
propagandists and secret agents
s America are revealed with startling
tealism In "The Prussian Cur," the
William Fox wnr-spcctaclc, coming to
the Sherry Thoatro tomorrow and
Saturday. : '
This tremendous picture is not only
based on recorded events of the world
war, but it contains Benaational 'in
side information, R and the manandn
Bide" revelations by Cnpt. Uorst von
dor Goltz, who served the German
government as a secret agent for ten
1 years and at ono time faced death in
, the Tower of London for his attempt
to blow up the locks of the Welland
rnnul in Cunada. Moreover, Capt. von
dcr Goltz personally appears in many
of the stirring scenes,
v The -burning of factories the de
struction of merchant ships, the poi
soning of public opinion with insidious
i?rman propaganda, the stirring up
Yf Inbo? troubles all are woven into
Ahis stupendous picture play.
Thmugh the various scenes move
the mightiest figures of the last half
century Woodrow Wilson, Abraham
Lincoln, General Pershing, Ambassa
dor Gerard, General Koch, the Kaiser,
the German Crown Prince, Bismarck,
Von Hindenburg, Von Tirpita, Von
llernstorff; hundreds of spies, secret
service men, writers and speakers;
thousands of persons appearing as
factory workers, mobs, soldiers, sail
ors and students.
Every scena in "The Prussian Cur"
in accurate as to history. The session
of the United States congress on the
eve of war the great factory strike,
the busy war activities, the landing
of American troops in France and
other momentous events form a migh
ty historical panorama.
Yet the story is softened by an In
spiring love romance of two young
(Americans a man ami woman who
risk all for the cause of human lib-ertv.

DOL'GI-AS FAIRBANKS, THE
STAR, AT THE AKCADK
To speak of the artistic ability and
celebrity of Douglas Fairbanks as a
screen star is comparable only to var
rylng coal to Newcastle. Douglas
Fairbanks needs no introduction to
any audience, nor is it necessary to
eall attention to his remarkable dis
tinction of being the greatest opti
mistic force in the field of silent drn-
ma. But In every photoplay In which
this athletic Arteraft star appears,
his admirers naturally find some new
and more difficult stunts to engage
their attention and to afford them
fresh delights. It is not only the
Fairbanks smile which attracts, nor
the delectable athletic feats of which
he is the most capable exponent in
motion pictures, but his skill as an
actor is conspicuously displayed in ev
ery portrayal he attempts. Thus, as
a newspaper reporter in "Say," Youiip.
Fellow," his art is capably shown, and
it is quite likely that the novelty of
this picture will make it one of the
most attractive of his large repertoire
of picture sorei-sses.

Although 'Oregon, lagged a, little

iscrlpllon that is lagged according
to Oregon's usual briskness the
fact remains that , Emory Olmstead,
A. T. Hill and all others who were
lu charge of the loan in this state
have cause for rejoicing.
A dlspatcu from Washington says
Uhe Treasury Department yesterday
openly admitted that the slow pro
gress of the fourth Liberty loatf to
wards Its $6,000,000 goal Is a mat
ter of serious concern. With the
thiee weeks' .; subscription period
half gone, tho loan Is only 30 per
cen t subscribed. The total ...report
ed: to the treasury up to- Wednesday
night Is $l,7Ut,463,200. . ::,
"There la no use In denying or
attempting' to camouflage he fact
that Liberty Loan committees
throughout s the country are con
fronted with a serious situation'
said the treasury statement review
ing the campaign reports. "If the
loan is to be subscribed a dally
nvcr.ige of $467,000,000 must be
raised between now and October 19.
"Cognizant of the fact that the
loan never can succeed at' its pre
sent rate of speed, canvassers thru
out the country are stating plainly
to all citizens-that they fnust buy
rendu In larger amounts than here
tofore. Wealthy persons particu
larly must go deeper Into their ca
pital or extend their credit and not
depend upon their current income
to pay for bondB, People of mod
erate and small means must pledge
their futuro earnings In - greater
degree." ' . , ,.. :

', "Double the third" has been ad
opted as slogan In many districts
to stimulate subscribers to do twice
