Itrn J- photodrama that should appeal to every American, for it is a plctur lzation of the Clyde Fitch drama, "Na than Hale." It is particularly timely in these days of awakened patriotism. With Em lie Chautard as director, Rob ert Warwick as Nathan Hale and Gail Kane as Alice Adams, the public is assured of a handling of the subject calculated to extract from it the maxi mum of dramatic value. "The Heart of a Hero" Is a story of romance and historic action. The opening reels are devoted to the ro mance of Nathan Hale's life, when, as a, schoolmaster, tie falls in love with one of his pupils. The story gathers force as it progresses, and the last three reels are intensely dramatic. New London, Conn., where Nathan Hale conducts a country school, is the scene of the early action. Nathan and Alice Adams, one of his pupils, are sweethearts. At the outbreak of hos tilities between the Colonists and Eng land, young Hale joins the Army, with the sanction of his sweetheart. He wins a Captain's commission, and when a spy is called for to go inside the Brit ish lines, volunteers for duty. Fear for his safety makes Alice implore him to change his determination, but Na than sticks to hia resolve. Guy Fitzroy, a cousin of Miss Adams, also loves the fcirl. Fitzroy is a British officer. When Hale enters the British lines, disguised as a loyalist, he is recognized by Fitz roy, who puts up a ruse to trap him. Alice is made a party to this, and the play ends with the scene in the apple orchard as Nathan bravely mounts the ladder to meet death, uttering those famous words: "My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my coun. try."

Daily 11 A. M. to 11 P. M. 0 D serial, "The Mystery of the Double Cross," moves along at a. thrilling pace, with no inkling of the Identity of the Ma&kfcd Strange or the girl of the Double Cross. The villain, Bridgey Bentley, Is determined to sift the mys tery to the bottom and kidnaps the girl, but the hero, Peter Hale, and the Masked Stranger intervenes and his plot is foiled. Mollie King is the star of this mystery yarn, with Leon Bary leading man. Colombia. "The Wheel of the Law" is a logical photoplay arraignment of circumstan tial evidence, presented by Metro with an unusually capable cast headed by Emily Stevens and Frank Mills. Miss Stevens, who scored a Broadway hit last season in "The L'nchastened Woman," recently signed a contract calling for $75,000 for the making of five pictures for Metro. The leading male character In "The Wheel of the Law" is an ambitious District Attorney who has won a repu tation by his ability to secure con victions on circumstantial evidence. The plot makes him work with might and main to convict a man of murder, after he has been promised the Gov ernorship by the real murderer ff he secures the conviction. The lawyer's wife is the sister of the innocent man, but he will not listen to her pleadings until she shows her husband that, it is possible to entangle even a District Attorney in the same mesh. Miss Stevens is presented in the role of Mona, a Broadway star, who marries Norton, the rising young attorney. Tommy, the girl's brother, is an ex convict. Ryan, a political boss, kills Pearl LeClaire, and Tommy, a bellboy at the hotel, is charged with the crime. Norton refuses to aid Tommy, ambi tion overcoming his love for Mona. Then Mona pretends that she is poisoned and accuses her husband. He begs her forgiveness and promises to do anything if she will live. Then comes the expose of the scheme, the confession of Ryan and the acquittal of Tommy. The scenes showing the atrical life behind the footlights are exceptionally well done. Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Drew amuse with their latest Metro comedy, "The Awakening of Helena Minor." A spe cial subject presents glimpses of the Boy Scouts in their field rally on Mult nomah Field last Saturday. Sunset. Theda Bara, at the Sunset Theater, closes with the appearance of the screen's vampire queen in one of her typical siren roles. "Gold and the Woman" presents William Fox's star of mysterious antecedents In the role of a Mexican adventuress, a woman whose morals are so warped by trag edy that she preys upon mankind. This photodrama has a spectacular and historical as well as vampire In terest, for it portrays Mexican war fare and In Its plot reveals a page of the past showing the theft of land from the Indians by the whites. Miss Bara is supported by a cast of unusual excellence. Including H. Cooper Cliffe, Alma Hanlon and Harry Hllliard.. When her parents are killed and home wrecked by Mexican revolution ists, Juliette De Cordova goes to the United States and becomes private sec retary to Colonel Dent. She subjugates the wicked old Colonel, who is trying to wed his ward and steal her prop erty, which incidentally was stolen from the Indians generations before. Harry Hllliard is the young American of Indian extraction, the sweetheart and protector of the blind ward. He is the real owner of the land and, with the death of Dent and the defeat of Juliette's scheming, he comes into his own, winning back a large tract and a bride. "Fatty and the Broadway Stars" is an unusual Keystone comedy, for. In addition to "Fatty" Arbuckle, the cast includes Willie Collier, Weber and Fields and Raymond Hitchcock. Ar buckle is no longer with Keystone, having gone to Paramount, while the Broadway favorites long ago have re tired from the screen. Burton Holmes' Travelogue, the In teresting travel series showing glimpses of every part of the world, concludes the programme. Majestic. "Babette," which co-stars Peggy Hy land, English actress-beauty, and Marc McDermott, is a photoplay of clever character portrayals and well-defined touches of human interest. It's a story of old France, with the atmosphere well preserved love and its effect upon a hardened criminal. Miss Hyland, who recently quit Vit agraph, never has appeared to such good advantage as In this picture. Her interpretation of the role of the inno cent young country girl whose simple trust brings out the best in a man whose many crimes have baffled the police for years, is exceptiqnal. As for McDermott. he plays the part of the much-sought Raveau with an artistry that bids well to place him In the forefront of the present-day screen stars.- His work draws attention from the star and his personality is ever in prominence. "Babette," a Vitagraph production which was chosen for presentation at the New York Rialto, one of the lead ing photoplay theaters of the country, sends Raveau. gentleman burglar sought by the Paris police, to a small Norman town until the noise following his last Bafe-cracklng affair subsides. iiiumtinuHniituiimtiiifininiiiiiiiiimiHiiniiM,iiiniHitiniliimiiiiiHH tmrmiuinifrmiorirff mn-imunniM MjtmiiimuuimimrtMimn s 3 ii e i i i s i i i 2 ; . - KSii-. .... f rm..rmWurmHwm.HuWwMwwmU...uu.m SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'lllllllilliHIIIlillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUinllllU For Every Man Hart Schaffner & Marx Varsity Fifty Five Suits Here is shown one of the many variations in this fa mous group' of suits.

Peoples. "Even we mothers have no right to curse the war. Those for whom our hearts bleed died that France might live." These few words epitomize the spirit of "Mothers of France," the epochal photoplay of the world war, sacrifice and patriotic devotion, which is at tracting widespread attention at the Peoples Theater this week. While the picture is one dealing with war and its demands upon the womanhood of a nation, filmed with the co-operation of the French govern ment and showing actual scenes from the trenches, one of its appealing fac tors has to do with a pathetic love story. Pierre, an orphan, and Marie love each other, but conceal their affection because a marriage has been arranged between Marie and Martin Saxe, the school master. The- school master is blinded for life and writes Marie re leasing her. from the promise to marry him. But Marie, also Inspired by the sublime quality of self-sacrifice, re fuses to accept her liberty. Martin is happy, despite his affliction, until he stumbles within hearing distance of Marie and Pierre taking f.nal leave of each other. Then he, too. Is gripped by the exaltation of the French spirit and withdraws from the lists, leaving the young couple happy together. Mar tin, yielding to weakness, is roused by the indomitable spirit of Madame Marsay, who sends him back to his scholars, there to do his "bit" for France. The scenes of the schoolroom and the group of boys and girls are among the best Juvenile presentations of the silent drama. Sarah Bernhardt's art never was more impressive than in "Mothers of France." She it is who plays Madame Joan Marsay, a woman war robs of son and husband, but rises supreme above all In her devotion to her be loved country, x'he cast in every way is adequate, interpreting Jean Riche pin's story In a manner as to imbue spectators with the exaltation of sac rificial love for country.
