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."

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.

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.
