Hot tie Carrying Labels of Well-Known Pharmacists Displayed for Benefit of Public at City Hall Of eight drunks who appeared before Municipal Judge Langguth yesterday even confessed that their beverage had been drug store alcohol. One had. Im bibed whisky. John Neima entered the courtroom dejectedly. His head was neatly capped in bandages, with blooj stains thereon. John was fagged, and looked it, for be had slept in a straitjacket. The fire that alcohol kindles had made the straitjacket necessary, lest he tear his wounds open. lie was sen tenced to one day. Other alcohol victims and their sen tences were George H. Cyr, $10: H. A. Frenchy, case put over; John Casey and Thomas Cainell, five hours In Jail: Edward Griffith, 10 days; Pat McNeil. 10 days, suspended. The whisky drinl-er, Sievert Jensen, was fined $10. Meantime the collection of con fiscated alcohol botles grows in Public Defender Robinson's office. On the labels of the bottles that have brought scores of men to court and prison, in- Jury and accident, and some few to death, are the names of well-known Portland pharmacists. The other day one of these same druggists. In conference with Mr. Rob lnson, started uneasily when he saw his own labels among the group in the "death cabinet. "Why do you display those alcohol battles'- he asked the public delender. "So that the druggists may see and grasp the actual evidence of the evil was the response. "Well, if they are for the drug-gists alone, why don t you put a curtain over them," suggested the perturbeu pharmacist. "No, there Is another purpose, as well." rejoined Mr. Robinson "We want the public also to realize fully the alcohol evil."

Peoples Marguerite -Clark, "Miss George Washington." Majestic Nell Shlpman and Will iam Duncan, "Through the Wall." Columbia Lillian Gish, "The Children Pay." Globe Florence La Badie, "Saint, Devil and Woman." Star. "W" HERE ARE MY CHILDREN?" the sensational birth-control picture, opened a three-day engagement at the Star Theater yester day, the large crowds attending its screening evidencing the fact that in terest in this unusual photoplay has not abated. This picture deals with one of the most discussed topics of the day, birth control. It is a daring subject to pre sent to the public, and is handled in a daring, yet unobjectionable, manner. By barring all persons under 16 years of age, unless accompanied by parents, the film is exhibited to those of more mature minds people capable of ab sorbing the lesson of the play. A splendid cast, headed by Tyrone Power, interprets the preachment-story. rower s characterization of the District Attorney is one of the most realistic bits of acting the screen has yet pre sented. As the District Attorney, child less, but idolizing- children, he sympa thizes with a physician convicted of distributing birth-control literature and professionally aiding in that movement in relation to the extremely poor and the mental and physical defectives. This phase of the story is particularly interesting locally because of the Sanger affair in Portland and the trial of Margaret Sanger in New York for the same offense. Then the theme switches to an indict ment of frivolous societv. which con demns motherhood and refuses to bear cnuaren. 'me uistrtct Attorney dis covers that his wife has resorted to criminal measures to rob him of chil dren, and his anger and sorrow at the discovery are overpowering. The scene where he -confronts his wife and her society friends, drives the women from his house and cries to his wife. "Where are my children?" is the dramatic climax of the story. Selig-Tribune News Weekly, with events of the world in interesting guise, is another subject on the bill. Sunset. "The Phantom," one of the most in teresting crook dramas of the season, with Frank Keenan, Robert McKim and Enid Markey in the leading roles, will be screened at the Sunset Theater to day, together with that greatest of 191b iveystoners, 'Fatty and Mabel Adrift." In the comedy are seen Mable Nor- mand, who has quit the slapstick for a more refined brand of comedy, and Fatty Arbuckle, Keystone's leading comedian, and a man reported to be on the verge of quitting Mack Sennett to opersjte independently. In "The Phantom" Keenan deserts his customary role of Southern gentle man and appears as a polished man of the world, a super-crook who plies his trade while visiting fashionable society as a guest. The play is an exceedingly clever one, with complications that surprise and startle. It's difficult to determine for a long time whether the1 intruder is a crook or a detective. - And then comes the climax. Peoples. Marguerite Clark and "Miss George Washington" are to remain in Portland until Saturday night. After a tele graphic bombardment and the payment of a premium the management of the Peoples Theater was enabled to make the announcement last night that the attraction would be held over for three more days. It isn't often that a film theater has an opportunity to present & picture which is so universally pleasing as "Miss George Washington," and natu rally when such a picture does bob up. it is physically impossible to screen it in four days, or even a week, for the large number of people who are always awaiting filmdom's best. Not in months has Paramount had such a persistent and large demand for a picture as "Miss George 'Washington." which was responsible for the original announce ment that the Marguerite Clark farce could be exhibited for but four days. Columbia. "The Children Pay." a Triangle-Fine Arts drama, with Lillian Gish in the leading role, will be seen at the Co lumbia Theater today. A strong sup porting cast includes such players as Keith Armour, the new Triangle lead ing man, Ralph Lewis, Alma Reuben and Loyola O'Connor. "His Last Cent," a Keystone comedy with Fred Mace and Slim Potel in the limelight, and a scenic of Death Valley, will also be shown. "The Children Pay" is an appealing story showing the result of divorce upon children. The parents separate and the father hurries the two girls away to a house in the country. The court interferes and awards one girl to the mother and the other to the father. The older sister steals away with, the younger but a. Deputy. SherKf hales them before the court once more. There they are about .to be separated when a young lawyer, who has taken more than a strong interest in the older girl, solves the problem by mar rying her. Then the Judge awards the bride the custody of her sister. Majestic. "Through the Wall," a detective drama with all of the thrills that characterized the famed exploits of a Nick Carter, will be exhibited at the Majestic Theater today. Nell Ship man. William Duncan and George Holt are the leading characters. Sinking of a liner at sea, glimpses of life in In dia, views of the underworld, realistic courtroom scene, the application of the "third degree" and a visit to a big newspaper office are among the inter esting features of the photodrama. Holt plays the role of the arch criminal, who weds a woman about to inherit a fortune, and then drowns her. The daughter. Alice, loses her memory and becomes a waitress. A man who rescued the girl from drown ing begins to connect her with the criminal and is mysteriously murdered. A detective enters the arena, saves a suspected man from conviction, and fastens the crime on the guilty man. Pathe News and a. comedy will also be shown. Screen Gossip. Gall Kane has been engaged to play an Important part in "The Harp of Life." a stage production starring Lau retta Taylor. Gladys Hanson and Bruce McRae. who have been seen in many photo plays, are playing on Broadway. "The art of the photodrama is strid ing along in seven league boots," aays Nazimova. Carlyle Blackwell, the Prinoo of Pop ularity, as he is called, is not exactly a dog fancier, but he does particularly fancy one particular dog. Medford Belle is the object of his choice, a Great Dane, which captured first prize at the San Francisco Ex position. , Jane Grey has been engaged by In ternational (Hearst) to appear in "When My Ship Comes In." a picturi zation of the Gouverneur Morris novel. Alice Brady is a Russian dancer in one of her forthcoming pictures. In the Canadian courts there Is a case up regarding a flying torpedo, a radio wave-controlled affair similar to that used in the successful Triangle photodrama, "The Flying Torpedo." That play, incidentally, is the one in which Bessie Love first had her promi nent part. The Cincinnati Chamber of Com merce has formed a Film Exchange branch body of the organization. Vitagraph is going to reissne that Clara Kimball Young-Earle Wililams feature, "My Official Wife." m Little Mary Sunshine, the baby lead ing lady who has attracted so much attention In Balboa Feature Films, will appear with her company before the Woman's City Club, of Los Angeles, on the afternoon of December 18, and show the ladles and their friends how children work, in the making of pic tures. . Pauline Frederick "killed" "Willard Mack the other morning, and did it so artistically that he showed his appre ciation by inviting the Famous Player star to luncheon. You see. Miss Fred erick is starring in "Nanette of the Wilds." of which Mack is the author and in which he also is appearing. Mack had passed a good deal of time in planning the murder scene, and was enthusiastic over the manner in which his efforts bore fruit at the hands of Miss Frederick. There is nothing like enjoying one's own death, even if it is only for a Paramount Picture. Peter Fischer, known for years as "Peter the Great," is now appearing in support of Margarita Fischer in Pollard Picture Plays. He will be seen by his followers in "The Pearl of Paradise." Be it known that- Peter is Miss Fischer's pet bulldog and the favorite of the whole studio. Donald C.

They have received the stamp of approval from Army, Navy and diplomatic offl cals of practically every country, and will be released exclusively through the Paramount Pictographs, the maga zine of the screen. After finishing his compilation and assembling of these pictures Mr. Thompson started on a tour of the world to take exclusive pictures for this screen magazine. Former Dakota Banker Sentenced.
