Sir Gilbert Parker, Canadian author

United States, and probably will visit
Portland, according to advices received
here by Captain George Pope.

CLEAN little humanizing story,
similar to those Dickens wrote
or Christmas reading, with a
modernization in the form of an at
tempted murder and an attempted sui
cide. Is "Nina the Flower Girl," the cur
rent Triangle photodrama at the Co
lumbia Theater. Bessie Love, the little
school girl who has flashed across the
film sky within the past few months,
1b the star of the production, portray
ing the role of Nina, the blind girl.
Nina lives tn a tenement next to a
hunchback newsboy, and is left de
pendent tipon him by the death of her
grandmother. A strong affection Is
built up between the two Unfortunates.
Now come a lot of fairy princes and
fairy godmothers in plain clothes, just
some ordinary people of warm hearts,
and Nina is taken from her simple life.
A great surgeon is called to operate on
her eyes. The newsboy suspects that
all Is not on the level in this home of
wealth to which Nina has been taken,
and decides to murder Its scion In cold
blood, but finds that he is mistaken.
The blind girl is having her sight
restored, but the newsboy cannot bear
to have her see him sha has imagined
that he is handsome so he attempts
suicide. Again he is saved by mere ac
cident, is carried to a hospital, and there
straightened by the doctor, who re
stores Nina's sight. The boy and girl
are finally left in each other's arms.
The story is one that will appeal to
many, although there are no villains
and no suspense, and everybody Is good
and kind.
"Some Baby" Introduces a wee kiddie
as the star of a comedy. She revels
in jam, mud, and taboo matter, much to
the joy of the audience. An automo
bile picture, "Winning the . Desmond
Trophy," and events of the world in
pictures complete tne programme.
Star.
Birth control, that popular subject
of the day that has been treated of
in such photoplays as "Where Are My
Children?" Is the theme of "The Valley
of Decision," the Star Theater feature
starring Richard Bennett. However, a
ew angle of the subject is presented
lrt this Mutual offering, for the child Is
placed in conflict with political am
bition and race suicide wins out.
Mr. Bennett, whose most recent Port
land appearance was in the successful
play, "And the Law Says," is cast in
the role of Arnold Gray, a young re
former whose greatest ambition Is to
abolish child labor. His work interests
Jane Morton and their mutual interests
lead them to the altar. Gray becomes
a candidate for the Governorship about
the time his wife is about to visit
the maternity hospital. A friend of
the couple advises Jane that she should
sacrifice her child for the sake of her
husband's ambition. -Arnold agrees to
this. Arnold is elected Governor, but
his child labor bill Is defeated and his
wife dies. He then awakens to find
that It is all a dream and decides that
family responsibilities shall take prece
dence over political ones.
The film opens with an allegorical
prelude presenting various qualities,
such as ambition, pride, etc., as per
sonified entities. These qualities are
reoresented by the players who are lat
er the principal characters of the play.
Adrienne Morrison, who Is Mrs. Ben
nett in private life, plays the role of
Jane Morton, while Blanche Hanson
and George Periolat are other members
of a good cast. -

trio appearing in "The Golden Fetter,
a story of a mining engineer and a prim
little jsew i-ngiana scnooi teacher,
whom circumstances throw together
into the turmoil , and excitement , of
Western town. It's a photoplay1 of
strong love Interest, plenty of excite
ment and the rich atmosphere of the
outdoors.
Miss King is presented as Faith Mil
ler, a near-Boston school teacher who
inherits $10,000. She buys an interest
in a worthless mine of the West for
$9000, falling victim to the talk of
Henry Slade. Advised to take a rest,
she goes to Inspect tne mine. She is
saved from insult by Jim Ralston,
young mining engineer, and is soon
told that the mine is worthless. The
miners take pity on her and engage
her to teach their school. Pete, a half
wit, and Jim, held . in connection with
a holdup by Bdson and McGill. part
ners of Slade. are her only pupils.
Jim conceives the idea of salting the
mine and wires- Slade that the mine is
rich, so Slade returns. Edson and Mc
Gill, pursued by a posse, reach the
schoolhouse and are hidden by Jim.
Flynn, at the head of the posse, ac
cuses Jim of hiding the fugitives, and
is killed by a shot from an unseen
hand. Jim is arrested for the murder.
Faith intercedes and is handcuffed to
him for her actions. They escape and
Jim shoots the fetters aparts, and
breaks his wrist. He is captured and
is about to be hanged when Edson, cap
tured at last and dying, confesses to
the murder. Faith, weakened by the
trying ordeals through which she has
passed, sinks to the ground, only to
be taken into the arms of the man she
loves.

trick photography and many thrills. In

bring tears of sympathy to the eyes of
almost anyone.
This Triangle picture drama Is an
original offering, one of the most no

larger counties the clause in section F
of the bill requiring that every permit
tor the importation or purchase of al
cohol shall be signed by the District
Attorney "in person and not by a dep
uty or assistant," might lead to compli
cation and' inconveniences.
District Attorney Clanae Changed.
'If the District Attorney should be
absent, this would prevent the sign
ing of any applications until his re
turn, said Senator Shanks. "The mat
ter is a small one and very easily
remedied.
I therefore ask. unanimous consent
to strike out the words 'in person and
not by any deputy or assistant.'
Unanimous consent was obtained and
the amendment made without other
formality. The other amendments pre
vlously made on recommendation of the
comlttee meet objections raised on the
floor of the House last Monday by Rep
resentative Lafferty and other friends
of the bone-dry bill.
Fraternal Organisation Barred.
Representative Anderson favored the,
changes at that time, but did not wish
to take the risk of going into commit'
tee of the whole to put in the amend
ments. One of them eliminates fra
ternal organizations from the privilege
of Importing liquor for sacramental
puruoaes.
Another requires that liquor, to be
shipped into the state within the five
day period of grace allowed by the
bill, must be ordered before the act
Eoes into effect. As it carries an emer
gency clause, it win be in full force
and effect the moment the Governor
Bieris it.
The other Senate amendment merely
cuts out the 2 fee to be paid C.ounty
Clerks by registered pharmacists on
filiDg their bonds to sell alcohol under
the restrictions or tne act.
Flow of Oratory Heard.
The bone-dry bill was a special order
of business on the Senate calendar for 2
o'clock. Standing room in the gallery
could not be borrowed, begged or
bought.
As a consequence, there was the ac
companiment of oratory usual in legis
latures when a big gallery Is present.
At no time within the last two weeks
has there been any doubt whatsoever
that the bone-dry bill would pass the
Senate, emergency clause and all, by
unanimous vote. It was well known
that every member had his mind made
up and it could have been passed in
five minutes after the reading clerk
completed the reading of the long bill.
The Senators, however, chose to de
vote one hour and three-quarters to
resounding speeches. Senator Shanks,
as chairman of the alcoholic trafflo
committee, began the discussion by ex
plaining the measure.
Senator Orton had a word to say
along the line of what he termed a
"confession."
National Prohibition Predicted.
"This is a confession," he phrased It.
"We might as well own up here that
we have imbided a little. But we should
today go on the water wagon and stay
there.
"Our further duty beyond the mere
passage of thle bill is to see that the
pledge made is kept and the state made
bone-dry."
Senator Farrell called the law the
"acme of perfection," and "the best
liquor law ever passed. It will be only
a few years no more than three or
four." he predicted, "when the whole
United States will be as dry as Sahara."
' Senator Eddy, of Douglas, Joint au
thor of the bill with Representative
Anderson, said no person could claim
to be its author because the Ideas of
a great many persons had been em
bodied In It.
Senator Smith, of Coos, declared that
being able to vote for the bone-dry
bill was "one of the greatest pleasures
of his life." He caused laughter when
he said that though House bill 100. the
bone-dry bill, is Just now the most pop
ular bill before the Legislature, that
honor belonged to House bill 104 when
he first came to the Legislature.
"House bill 104" in the good old pre-bone-dry
days was the casual refer
ence of one legislator to another legis
lator that a drink might be had.
Vote Finally Taken.
Senator Pierce recalled that 12 years
ago a determined effort was made to
repeal the initiative measure granting
local option.
Then came Lafollett Huston , and
Eddy.
"Let's cut out this apeechmaklng,"
put in trayer of Baker.
"I move the previous question.-
He withdrew the motion, however, to
permit Senator Steiwer to point out
some poesible weaknesses in section
V of 1h bill. Steiwer spoke not in
criticism of the committee, but as a
friend of the measure and a former
District Attorney, desiring that it
should be entirely shipshape before it
was passed.
Senator Eddy, for the committee, re
cited that he thought the section in
Question would withstand, all teets.
And then, at last, the vote was taken.
