Sergeant Hall, Wounded Three Miles
In Air, Loses Consciousness, but
Regains It In Time to Land

By the Associated Press.
STENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, July
8- Sergeant Andrew Campbell won in
a fight with death, with the chances a
million to one against him, while flying
with the Lafayette squadrille' yester
day; The lower left wing of his air
plane broke off when he was soaring
a mile high. Only his presence of
mind saved him.
Campbell threw all the contcols on
the other side and volplaned some dis
tance to detach the floating remnants
of the broken wing which were beat
ing against the body of the machine
and threatening to dislocate everything..
Then, when he had succeeded in this
maneuver, he descended slowly on the
remaining wing into a beet field with
out injury to himself. The slightest
turn in the air would have meant
death.
Bravery la Rewarded.
This accident was preceded by the
ceremony of the presentation of an
American flag to the squad r ilia by an
employe of the Treasury Department
at Washington.
French and American aviators from
several squadrillas were paraded on
the flying grounds for the ceremony
which was a fine spectacle of the fra
ternity of the two nations. The famous
Alpine band played the national an
thems of both countries.
Before the ceremony Corporals
Campbell, Bridegeman, Hewitt, Hinkle
and Drexel were promoted to be ser
geants for bravery during recent oper
ations. They with others, have been
operating along the whole front where
they drove off dozens of German fight
ing machines during the German offen
sive last week.
- 17 Duels Fought In Air.
In the week from June 24 to June 30
they fought 17 air duels, and as the
result of their reconnoissances fur
nished the French with most valuable
information. Lufbery and Willis had
four victims each: Bigelow and Lowell
two each; Thaw, Haville, Soubiran,
Hall and the French Lieutenant De
Maisson-Rouge. one each.
Hall, who is a newcomer, after serv
ing as a machine gunnerin the British
Army, while making his' second flight
with the Lafayettes, was wounded se
verely. He was decorated with the
military medal for attacking single
handed seven German airmen.
Consciousness Regained In Tine.
Infantrymen on the ground stopped
their fighting to watch the stirring
combat which ended in Hall being
wounded in three places. He lost con
sciousness at a height of three miles,
but recovered his senses when within
100 feet of the ground and brought his
machine safely within his own lines.
Walter Lowell also suffered an acci
dent. The motor broke down in the
air and the machine, out of control, de
scended astride a trench in the French
lines. The unconscious aviator was
taken from his machine by an officer,
but it was found he was not seriously
hurt.

Packed houses that broke all at

yesterday attested to the popularity of
Douglas Fairbanks and his latest film
vehicle, "Wild and Woolly."
Wild and Woolly" is pure comedy.
much "Doug" Fairbanks, sunny grin
plus athleticlsms; it's an immensely
clever burlesque on the Western melo
drama until it reaches a climax, when
it becomes a Western melodrama it
self.
Irrepressible, clean fun, action that
fairly gallops, subtitles that are a fea
ture in themselves and Eileen Percy,

make this entertaining story one that
gives the star every opportunity to
score, and he does it in his character
istically winning manner.
There are stunts galore, and some of
them new. For instance, "Doug"
reaches his room above the dining
room of a hotel by kicking away the
ceiling from below, and so gains ac
cess to an arsenal of guns and ammuni
tion that enable him to emulate the
heroes of the old pioneer days. Fair
banks' rope twirling might be the errvy
of a vaudeville specialist; he sticks to
a bucking broncho like a veteran of a
hundred roundups; be makes innum
erable flying leaps to the saddle of
his steed, dashes through a circle of
drunken redskins to pick up his be
loved while on the run, and shoots with
deadly accuracy that leads one to
believe that after all the foes must
have fallen at the word of command.
Various characters long identified
with the serious Western melodrama
are burlesqued to an uproarious de
gree. In between these characteristic
scenes are interpolated such subtitles
as "You done right by our Nell." "We
may take our whisky straight, but
we're squar' with our women," "There's
a train leaving here at 8 tonight, and
unless you're on it I'm gunnln' for
you." The subtitles are reminiscent ol
some of those funny old Mack Swain
honest-sheriff things. .
Taken altogether, and overlooking a
recital of the story matter of the
Eastern youth who believes in a wild
and woolly West and finds it planted
ror nim, tne production is one which
will give much real Joy to the film
millions.
Sunset.
Star.
'The best yet" is a bold Phrase to
apply to Mary Pickford productions.
particularly when one stops to enu
merate the great Pickford successes of
the past, but after witnessing the
screening of "A Poor Little Rich Girl,"
that superlative screen drama of Pick
ford winsomeness, of laughs and of
tears, the adoption of "the best yet'
as a descriptive world combination re
suits.
"A Poor Little Rich Girl," an Artcraft
picturization of the well-known Elean
or Gates story and play, presents a
story that throbs with drama, with
reality and with pathos of the purest
ray. Scenes innumerable have that ap
peal described as "tugging at the
heartstrings," but the production of
fers much else beside its lesson and its
tears. The first two or three reels of
fer comedy of the genuine kind Mary
and a squad of boys indulge in a mud
flinging contest; Mary places a plate
of soft chocolate cakes on the identical
spot where the little girl who has
richer father and a richer mother" is
about to sit, while a plumber and an
organ grinder, invited into the home
of the little rich girl, furnish many
laughs.
Miss Pickford plays the role of
Gwendolyn, the little girl who has

unhappy for want of companionship.
Mother and father are immersed in so

Majestic.
Music and photoplay vie for honors
on the Majestic Theater's early week
programme, the management present
ing Kathleen Lawler, Portland girl,
who has achieved recognition in
Europe and America as a vocal artist,
and a mystery-detective film thriller,
"The Maelstrom." with Earle Williams
and Dorothy Kelly.
Miss Lawler. who came to Portland
from New York to participate in the
Music Festival, scored a hit with photo
play fans yesterday with her sym
pathetic and spirited rendition of se
lections, ranging from classics suited to
her colorature soprano voice to "Co
lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean." Her
Majestic Theater engagement will be
continued throughout the week, with
several changes in repertoire.
"The Malestrom" is a mystery play
and one of the best crook photoplays
ever presented, although the mys
tery becomes so intricate at times
Despite the making of so many of
these "superfeatures." the lure of that
magniflicent epic of the Alaskan wilds,
"The Spoilers," has not diminished.
The crowds which witnessed the exhi
bition of the twelve-reel edition of the
famous Rex Beach story at the Sunset
Theater yesterday will bear witness to
this. "The Spoilers" promises to occu
py a prominent place among the his
toric products of the silent drama
when nearly all of the so-called "mas
terpieces" are forgotten.
"The Spoilers" la big, with the big
ness of the vast outdoors, the North
west solitudes, and the clash of night
forces of man and nature. It's a tale
of conflict and man's struggle to wrest
gold from the earth. Romance, adven
ture, intrigue and mighty hatreds are
blended together into a story which
has been graphically translated to the
celluloid.
Of course the outstanding feature of
The Spoilers" is that terrific hand-to-
hand encounter between Glenister, the
miner goaded to desperation, and Mc
Namara, the cold, hard. calculating
crook who seeks with the aid of the
law, to rob Glenister of the fruits of
his toil. It was the first big man-bat
tle of the silent drama, and one which
has set the pace for producers of the
red-blooded type of drama. Big Bill
Farnum was the hero of that scrap, as
well as the hero of the story, while op
posed to him was Tom Santschi, him
self a prominent photoplayer, and an
upstanding chap who might be capable
of whipping Farnum In a rough and
tumble melee.
Along with Farnum and Santschi are
presented a wonderful cast of players.
including Kathlyn Williams, who plays
Cherry Malotte, the girl of the dance
halls who loves Glenister; Bessie Ele-
ton, the Helen Chester who finally
wins Glenister: Wheeler Oakman as
Broncho Kid, the gambler-brother of
Helen; Jack McDonald, the Slapjack
who furnishes so many laughs; and
Frank Clark, who as Dextry, is joined
with Slapjack and Glenister in the
ownership of a rich gold mine sought
by McNamara with the aid of a cor
rupt Judge and Federal troops.
The spectacular and the novel are
emphasized In the production. Fights,
with fists and guns, gambling and
dance hall scenes, the dynamiting of a
mine, riots, midnight struggle In a
road house; these are some of the
high lights of a magnificent play.
Columbia.
Bessie Barriscale does some of the
best acting of her career in the Tri
angle picture. "The Snarl," on exhibi
tion at the Columbia Theater. This bit
of blonde femininity, recently elevated
to the ranks of those boasting of their
own producing company, plays a dual
role, that of twin sisters, in the photo-
Play from the Ince studios.
"Tho Snarl" is a highly imaginative
thing, improbable in spots, but put
over by the pleasing appearance and
impressive histrionics of the star and
her supporting cast and the lavishness
accorded the production. It's a story
of the operatic stage and the love mix
up caused by the remarkable resem
blance of twins. Including in its tea.-
tures an automobile accident and a fire
on shipboard.
Helen and Marlon (both Miss Barris
cale), are twin sisters. Helen secures
an engagement in opera, but a few
days before the opening she is run
down by an automobile driven by
Monte Bruce (Charles Gunn). Unable
to walk. Marlon takes her place on the
stage while Helen sings the role from
the"wings. Bruce, believing Marion to
be the girl of the accident, asks her
out after the performance, and at a
party all become rather riotous. Bruce
and Marion decide to get married and
go on a yachting trip, while Helen is
taken along as chaperon. An explosion
temporarily blinds Bruce, and Marlon
seeks diversion with Mason (Howard
Hickman), while Helen, posing as her
sister, acts as Bruce's companion.
Cured of his blindness, Bruce refrains
from telling Marion, as he is suspi
cious. He discovers her duplicity.
A fire breaks out on board and Marl
on and Mason are drowned attempting
to escape, leaving Bruce free to marry
Helen.
"The Dog Catcher's Love" is the
name of the latest two-reel Mack Sen
nett Keystone comedy. It's a hilarious
affair with the usual combination of
laughs and thrills.
