THRILLS ARE ABUNDANT Picture on Bill at HriHg Theater I Worthy Successor to "The rKllcrs" and la Seen by Appreciative Audience. Rex Beach Is a lucky author. Not only ha be th faculty of writing vlrl! type of books which place them In th "best seller class, but their piriurlxatlon gives thm Just as em phatic approval In ' filmdom. The ".Ve'er tt Well." which received Its first public screening In Portland yes terday at the Helllg Theater, Is In deed a worthy successor to th famous "Spoilers." possessing such an artistic blend of masterful story, competent acting, excellent photography and scenes, both beautiful and instructive, ss to enhance the reputation of the screen, author and producer. Practically all of the players who assisted In the auccess of "The Spoil er." are seen in tha present Sells; pro duction. Wild Oata Are Save a. The story of '"The Ne'er Do Well" presents Kirk Anthony, son of Darwin K. Anthony, the transportation kins. aa an ex-footall player coaching his alma mater. The season is over, and in company with many kindred spirits, he is busily engaged In the not too gentle pastime of "sowing wild oata. A spectacular auto invasion ot - a New York cafe Is followed by a fight a Fellg-Beach masterpiece and Kirk loses consciousness soon thereafter. He awakens the following morning on board a ship, minus baggage, but with the conviction that he baa killed a man tha night ' before and must remain nnay from his home. On the vessel he meets Mra. Kdith ' Cortlandt, with her husband. Stephen, and the man and woman become friends. In Panama Stephen runs foul of the authorities and is cast Into prison, not, however, until he ha disposed of a number ot his assailants. Waller, a lanky negro he has befriended carries word of -Kirk's plight to Mrs. Cort lundt. who Is a powerful diplomat, and the boy Is released. She eecurea . for him a position on the canal works and he rises, chiefly through her Influence but somewhal on his own ability, to a position of authority. .. . Marriage I Secret! - . While on a hunting trip. Kirk runs across Chlqulta, a delightful cJpanlah miss, and falls In love with her. Th girl 1 sought by Alfarex. commandant of police, but Kirk worsts him at every meeting and finally marries the girl In secret. Ills ignorance of Spanish customs forms an amusing part of the film. Mrs. jCortlandt rages with jealousy, but Is unable to wean Kirk from his love. Cortlandt dramatically denounces Kirk as the lover of hi wife, and when he commits suicide Kirk Is accused of the crime. He Is cast into prison and things look black until his dorat nevrlrg .lad arrives on the scene, and Mr. Cortlandt finally yields up a paper which absolves the youth from all kuIU ot th crime.
