Hart's tour of the country has been much in the nature of a Presidential campaign trip, bo far as the receptions that liave been accorded to the film star are concerned. In every city in which Hart has appeared he has been greeted by thousands of his friends of the film theaters and he has been ac corded the same character of honors that are extended to Presidential can didates, visiting potentates and foreign notables. More Than Si 100 at Ball. More than 8100 people high, low and intermediate attended Oregon's Movie Ball at the Multnomah Hotel Wednesday night, according to figures of the hotel management. Abraham Nelson, business manager of the Ore gon Motion Picture Exhibitors' League, placed his attendance figures lower than yesterday, but he has not com pleted his check on ticket sales. This crowd breaks all records for dance attendance in Portland. The three film stars who graced the ball left Portland yesterday.

Miss Dalton, accompanied by that wondrous and expensive Parisian gown creation blue steel paquin, Boue Sisters also went to Seattle. J. War ren Kerrigan departed for Los An geles and his new picture studio.

Ilellig. "Intolerance," the gigantic D. W. Griffith cinema production, which ranks as the greatest spectacle of the silent drama, opened a limited engagement at the Heilig Theater yesterday after noon. ' It Is easy enough, as you catch your breath at the conclusion of "Intoler ance," to indulge in trite superlatives, but film reviewing has been over superlatived, and these abused com binations of letters prove entirely in adequate to describe the power of this love story throughout the ages. "Intolerance" is primarily a specta cle, with the fall of ancient Babylon its apex, but it contains much that Is propaganda, much that is preachment against the spirit of intolerance that has dominated the ages. Mr. Griffith advances the proposition that humanity's lack of tolerance of opinion and speech has brought about the world's woes. Taking four periods of history, he traces the working out of this Idea. He attempts to prove that other ages than this have been op pressed by meddling and busy-bodylsm. Briefly, the periods depicted revolve around the fall of Babylon in 638 B. C, the coming of the Nazarene and the birth of the Christian era, the mas sacre of St. Bartholomew's day in France during the reign of Charles IX, and the present. The four plots are handled at one time, the threads being interwoven. The modern theme has a Western town as its locale. Involving a struggle be tween capital and labor, charity work ers who oppress the workers that they may satiate their vanity with huge contributions to charitable founda tions, and the lives of a girl and a boy. This couple Is bandied about by intolerance and enmesh the boy in the toils of the law and almost send him to the gallows. The principal appeal of "Intoler ance.' however, lies in the Babylonian story, presented with a magnificence that never has been equaled. - The cast is long and able, including Mae Marsh, Seena Owen, Constance Talmadge, Miriam Cooper, Margery Wilson, Robert Harron, Elmo Lincoln, Tully Marshall, Tom Wilson and Louis Romalne. Star. The appearance of Alexis Kosloff and members of the Imperial Russian Ballet in a number of ballets executed with a skill that eclipses any dances of the character ever seen on the screen, is the noteworthy feature of "The Dancer's Peril." a melodramatic tale of Russian and Parisian life, which stars the photoplay favorite, Alice Brady, at the Star Theater. Miss Brady herself appears as a partner of Kosloff and dances with a skill that indicates a future as a terpsichorean artist should she desert motion pictures. The World luminary Is presented In a dual role in "The Dancer's Peril." playing the parts of a mother and daughter. The mother is the morgan atic wife of a grand duke and when he leaves her she goes to Paris and to drown her sorrow enters into a life of revelry. Tears later Vast a, the daughter, is a student in a ballet school and un aware of her parentage. Pavloff (Montagu Love) learns of her relation ship to the grand duke and with mo tives none too heroic places the girl in the Imperial Ballet as premier dans euse. She meets Richard, an artist, who falls in love with her. Pavloff kidnaps Vasta and imprisons her in his apartment. Lola, the mother, learning of the identity of Vasta, res cues her, but kills Pavloff in the struggle attending it. The arrival of the grand duke precipitates a happy ending, with the reunion of Lola and her husband and the marriage of Vasta and Richard. The seventh episode of "The Mys tery of the Double Cross." the thrill ing Pathe serial starring Mollie King, introduces Gladden James as one of the principal characters. He is Dick Annessley, a newspaper reporter, who discovers the identity of the Masked Stranger. A feature of the chapter ia the mysterious disappearance of Hubert Brewster, father of Pbllippa, who Is believed to be the girl of the Double Cross. The two reels are full of excitement, with an ending that leaves the spectator as much 'mysti fied as ever. Sunset. "American' Aristocracy" is another of those richly-flavored Douglas Fair banks screen hits. The athlete, effer vescent, optimistic "Doug" tears through five reels of fun and thrills In a photoplay that starts out as a satire and winds up as a typical Fairbanks comedy, constructed best to display the acrobatics and grins of this famed star. In "American Aristocracy" Fair banks is a Southerner, a botanist of limited means, who is sojourning at Newport. He meets a girl of the Sum mer colony. Jewel Carmen in real life, and immediately falls in love with her. The suit of the penniless chap of im posing family connections is spurned by a father who aspires to break into the ranks of malted milk kings, brew ers, distillers, etc. The girl's imagination is inflamed by the husky botanist and his aggres sive tactics. So the accepted suitor, or the father's favorite, a malted milk manufacturer., hires the bug hunter to impersonate him in some daring stunts. including an aeroplane ride. But the well-laid scheme goes awry and girl and botanist are soon leagued against the malted milk chap, who is conspir ing to ship powder into Mexico. A free-for-all scrap in the malted milk factory, capture of the bug hunt er, his escape, the boarding of the am munition yacht, with the intervention of the Federal authorities, furnish the thrills of the five-reeler. "Doug's" athletic prowess is given full sway in this story, written by Anita Loos. He scales fences, vaults hedges and uses saplings to climb over rocks.
