Hart Coming to Portland.
THOS. H. INCE'S famous picture
star, William S. Hart, commonly
called "Bill" by the fans of film
dom, is coming to Portland and will
make two appearances at the Colum
bit Theater next "Wednesday night at
8:30 and 9:30.
Hart is just finishing a whirlwind
tour of the chief cities of the country
and. after a day in Portland and a
half day in San Francisco, will re
sume his motion picture work at Ince
villo, Cal.
Hart left Los Angeles three weeks
ago and has visited 30 of the largest
cities of the country. He is accom
panied by a personal manager and two
photographers.
In addition to a brief talk, during
which Mr. Hart will mention some of
his experiences in picture work, there
will be projected on the screen a spe
cial picture showing the famous Ince
star and his company making one of
the Ince-Trlangle photoplays of West
ern life.
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
Fischer went to Seattle with Fred
Slmonton, of the Mutual Flm Corpora
tion. 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.
Financially the ball proved a suc
cess and from the receipts the exhibi
tors expect to defray the expense of
fitting up their handsome headquar
ters in the Majestic Theater building.
In addition to the presence of the
etars. the committee offered additional
entertainment. Miss Caroline Lowen
gart's vocal rendition- of "The Star
Spangled Banner" meeting with an en
thusiastic reception and Miss Wilberta
Babbldge pleasing in two Oriental
dance numbers.
The exhibits of the film distributing
concerns attracted much attention dur
ing the convention and ball.
The exhibitors, with those In
charge, were: Pathe Feres, W. W.
Kofeldt Portland manager; Mutual
Film Corporation, F. M. Slmonton
Portland manager; Universal Film
Manufacturing Company, G. A. Metzger,
Northwest manager; Vitagraph Com

Rosenthal had a big "Civilization"
booth; American Coin Register Com
pany presented a theater front, and the
Reliable Film Service Company had a

machines on display.
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.

A story of the country, the city, lov
ers and crooks is told in "The Small
Town Girl," the latest William Fox
photoplay starring June Caprice, the
youthful New England lass. It's, a

the charm of Miss Caprice, and brings
