THE Peoples Theater, in conjunc tion with Paramount, offers a film novelty as the feature of its week-end programme, Sessue Kaya kawa, the noted Japanese actor, who scored a brilliant success in "The Cheat," being starred in "Alien Souls," a dramatic Lasky production dealing with the eulf between Orient and Oc cident. Hayakawa. is a nephew of the famous Japanese actor. Otto Kawakami, came to this country to study the English drama, and was the first Nipponese ever to play Shakespearean classics in his native tongue in the leading theaters of Japan. Tsuru Aoki, clever feminine star, who has appeared in Paramount and Triangle offerings, will support Haya kawa. The story deals with a wealthy Japanese curio dealer who is in love with a Japanese girl he is sending to school in America. She falls into the clutches of a money-mad young Amer ican, and, in a series of thrilling and unusual scenes is brought to a realiza tion of the gulf between East and West. Paramount Pictographs and Bray cartoon comedy are other numbers on the bill. Pickford. "The Closed Road." an intensely dramatic photoplay - feature which has received unusual praise from blase New York pre-exhibltion critics, opens a three-day run at the Pickford Theater today, with House Peters and Barbara Tennant in the leading roles. The "Musty Suffer" comedy series, which has proved one of the most popular in filmdom, will come to a close with the final Harry "Watson one-reeler. Mystery, sacrifice, love, and an in dictment ot capital punishment, are in terwoven in the plot of "The Closed Door." A young surgeon is accused of the death of a man he had threatened with physical violence, and is in danger of capital punishment, when his sweet heart, coming in contact with a man who has but a few months to live, per suades him to offer himself as a sacri fice. A chain of circumstantial evi dence convicts the doomed man, but he discovers he is not stricken with ill ness. The real murderer is exposed, and gubernatorial clemency exercised Just in time to prevent electrocution. T & D Theater. "Dollars and the 'Woman," or better known as Dollars and Cents," with Ethel Clayton in the stellar role and rsnuo iiurite, me star supreme, or sunshine girl," in "Gloria's Romance.' the million dollar film novel, two fea- c MAJEST THEATER Now Playing The Biggest Laugh of the Season - ; & fHARIIF CHAPLIN In His Latest' Comedy, The "Floorwalker" tures which have contributed to the success of the opening of the T & D Theater, will continue at the new play house during the week. A 10-piece or chestra of selected musicians, render ing music in harmony with the film features, is another contribution to the auspicious opening, while the original tableau effect is a novelty which has caused much comment. The story of "Dollars and the Wom an" is one of particular appeal, as it visualizes a condition which has con fronted many a household, that of un expected poverty, with the aid of a sterling friend necessary to alleviate the suffering of near-pauperism. Billie Burke is making hosts of new friends in her new play, which is to be presented in 20 chapters. Majestic. Charlie Chaplin will continue to greet Portland fandom in "The Floor walker" at the Majestic during the re mainder of the week, the success of the two-reel Mutual for four days being such that Manager James has no hesi tancy in announcing its continuation as a feature of his bill. "One Day," the Eleanor Glyn sequel to "Three Weeks," is the dramatic offering. There is no star of the films so much discussed these Iays as Chaplin, and critics are carefully studying his latest features and their reception by the public. As in the case of other stars, many contend that Chaplin's popularity is waning. They assert that when Mutual signed up Charlie for $670,000 for 12 two-reelers the company had picked a lemort, for the public is tiring of his antics. 'He may be 'going back. " .agreed one exhibitor, 'but how about those crowds that patiently wait in line for an opportunity to see him?" Columbia. William Collier in "The No-Good Guy" and Ford Sterling in "The Snow Cure" comprise an all-comedy pro gramme at the Columbia Theater com mencing today. Collier makes his debut under the Kay Bee banner in a five-reeler in which he portrays a man who refuses to work, spends much of his time get ting drunk or arrvlng "third-rail par ties, and otherwise giving a .bad ac count of himself. He drives an auto mobile into a department store, be comes a detective and mingles with a band of crooks, and is involved in vari ous other sensational episodes. Trick photography is said to prove of much assistance in the genuinely funny film. The Snow Cure introduces a bear as a Keystone property asset. Mr. Bruin and Ford Sterling indulging in a chase as mad and exciting as any in troduced by the fire laddies and cods. The plot concerns the supposed incon stancy of a pretty wife, with Sterling as the other man. Screen Gossip. Fuller '- Melllsh, the distinguished English actor who has been playing with James K. Hackett in his Broad way production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor and other Shakespearean plays, has rejoined the photoplay forces of William Fox. He will appear in a photodrama which is being directed by win a. .Davis. Edwin August.
