"THE OUTCAST" OS AT STJXSET Thomas Nelson Pago's First Movie Drama Declared Excellent. Thomas Nelson Page, the famous au thor, never wrote anything better, some authorities say, than "The Outcast." his first photoplay, which opened at the Sunset Theater yesterday aa me second of the Mutual Master picture to be shown in Portland, and if Mr. Page had been selecting the cast himself, he could not have chosen a more beauti fullv charming and sympathetic star to play the role of tha outcast girl about whose tangled life the play is woven, than Mae Marsh. Her acting is wonderful rn its sym pathy and appeal and Robert Harron, who plays Danny, her friend, is splen did, too. "The Outcast" Is a photoplay of in tense dramatio power. Nothing better than the great trial scene has ever been shown on the screen. The pho tography is as good as that In "The Quest" laBt week. "A Little Band of Gold" is funny. The Mutual Weekly, which includes Port I land scenes, closes the programme. OVATION GIVEN AT NATIONAL Birth of Savior Among Films on New Bill.

ANNETTE KEMJERMAN" SHOWS 'Neptune's Daughter" at Columbia Staged With Fine Effect. Annette Kellerman. the "perfect woman, proved her popularity yester day by drawing to the Columbia the ater thousands to witness her perform ance in "Neptune's Daughter," a gor geous 'and thrilling aquatic spectacle. Her feats in the water were wonder ful and proved to everybody who at tended the performance that she is "queen of the waters." She is ablyl assisted In the offering by a mammoth cast, including many beautiful giving mermaids. The story of love, romance and ad venture recounted in the ' pictures is gripping and its unusual features and the aquatic scenery fairly enchanting. Miss Kellerman has the role of daughter of. Neptune, monarch of the sea who is turned from mermaid to mortal maiden to revenge the death of her little sister who has been drowned in the nets of the fishermen of King William. She falls in love with the King and alter a series of exciting adventures she becomes Queen of the land. "THE NIGGER" WINS PLAUDITS Edward Sheldon's Race Problem Play Majestic Offering. It is difficult to describe "The Nig ger," the Majestia theater's attraction. Its appeal is too great, it's theme too big. The race question and its solu tion is one of overwhelming moment. Great wars have been fought and still the Issue confronts us. Edward Shel don has offered one phase of the ques tion and its solution in this great play. The solution from his point of view is absolute abolition in the South. That is for the negro. For the descendants who may be ot white flesh and blood the only solution so far as is offered by Sheldon concerning marriage with a white is "don't." William Farnum does a stupendous piece of work in the play. He appears in the leading role.-supported oy uiaire Whitney. No better acting has ever been done by either. Special attention should be called to the woman whoi appears as "Mammy Jinny," for hei work is splendid. FRITZI SCHEFF STAR FEATURE "Pretty Mrs. Smith," Full of Thrills, Fills House to Capacity. Fascinating Fritzi Scheff with her smiles and wiles won the hearts of Portlanders yesterday in her Initial performance on the screen in "Pretty Mrs. Smith" at the Star theater. Mrs. Smith was fickle. Also she was beau tiful. What is more, she was, in the words of her friend, Letitia, a "triga' mist." Mrs. Smith started life with one husband. He got stale. Then she took unto herself another. He drank and was most unsatisfactory. Then, unfortunately, she fell in love. So she married the man. He was jealous. Trouble brewed and she left. He fol lowed. So did both 'her other husbands, who still loved her. After dodging and using all her wiles Mrs. Smith finally had to "face the music" and the first two Smiths voluntarily relinquished claim. The Star theater was filled to its capacity 11 day and on every side eould be heard, exclamations of pleasure. HELPLESS NEED $4.90 CASH Two Families In Distress, Wife In One Is Deserted and III.
