Douglas Fairbanks In Scene From "Wild ' on Exhibition at the TODAY'S FILM FEATURES. Majestic Anita Stewart, "The Message of the Mouse." Columbia Dorothy Glsh, "Her Official Fathers."

Globe Virginia Pearson, "Sis ter Against Sister." Circle "The Neglected Wife." Star. "The Price She Paid." adapted from the novel by David Graham Phillips, re veals Clara Kimball Young as a woman of vast attractiveness and an actress of talent and skill in portraying phases of character and certain bits of emo tion not heretofore displayed by her. In addition to showing the star to dis tinct advantage, "The Price She Paid" is a picture whose power to interest amounts to a fascination. Many will contend that the story is more attractive on the screen than in the book. The principal reason is that Mildred Gower, the principal character, is more real and more attractive as played by Miss Young. The creation of this part surpasses anythipg previ ously attempted by hen The star is supported by a splendid cast. David Powell, who was with Billie Burke in "Gloria's Romance" and Mary Pickford In "Less Than the Dust," is Donald Keith; Snitz Edwards is the repelling Siddall, and Alan Hale is a convincing Stanley Baird. The story has to do with Mildred Gower, who sacrifices herself to marry the rich General Siddall, a man of dis agreeable personality. She cannot stand his tyranny and leaves him, only to meet a former admirer, who insists on offering financial aid under the guise of an "Investment." She is to become a great singer. The girl ac cepts this charity innocently until 'told by a frank admirer that it is an action open to the worst possible interpreta tion. Then she actually does begin to struggle and really becomes a great singer. She breaks with Baird, the man who furnished the money for her musical education and, through the ac quaintance of an old music master and his family, coupled with a following of the advice of Donald Keith, she wins her laurels. Having gained her inde pendence, Mildred finds true love in Keith's protection. Sunset. The Ne'er-do-Well" is another Rex Beach picture that promises to live long in the esteem of followers of the photodrama. This filmation of the well-known story of Panama and the Canal Zone is the second big produc tion filmed from a Beach novel, fol lowing "The Spoilers." These two, with The Barrier," form a triumvirate of successful pictures that place Beach at the very top of authors whose work has been interpreted by the silent drama. "The Ne'er-do-Well" is a striking story of regeneration, of romance, in trigue, with the novelty of the Panama Canal as a part of its background. Much beautiful scenery, some stirring scraps, and a diversity of backgrounds which take the spectator from a New York cabaret to a Panama jail are pre sented in the picture. Kathlyn Williams, the Cherry Mal- lotte of "The Spoilers," and Wheeler Oakman, Broncho Kid of the Alaska tale, are the principals In the cast of The Ne'er-do-Well." Jack McDonald. Slapstick of "The Spoilers." and Hank Clark. Dextry and pal of the hero, Glenister, are other prominent mem bers of the company. Oakman plays the part of Kirk Anthony, football player and university coacn. rouomng a nignt or celebration over a football victory. Kirk finds him self aboard a steamer en route to Panama. During the trip he becomes acquainted with Mrs. Cortlandt (Kath lyn Williams), a diplomatic agent. Mrs. Cortlandt falls in love with the young chap, rescues him from a Panama jail, and gets him a Job on the canal works. Kirk has but a friendly Interest in the woman. He falls in love with a Spanish maia ana is iorcea to wage war against a Panama officer for 'the hand of the girl and also to combat Cortlandt, who is extremely Jealous of the youth's at tentions to his wife. Cortlandt suicides and Kirk is charged with his murder. The arrival of his father, a big man in the States, saves the situation and Kirk gets his senorlta. Majestic. "The Message of the Mouse" furnishes sensational rum entertainment. It has an up-to-the-minute theme, that of af ter-the war plots to gain control of America s billions, the presence of aalnty Anita Stewart and a story of melodramatic thrills and rapidly mov ing action. This Vitagraph has thrills and de tective stuff that would make some of the old sleuth" yarns take a slump, There are secret panels, false ceilings messages written in code and invisible ink, messages conveyed to their destl nation in the stems of flowers and even a mouse carries an important scrap of paper to the young lady who eventu ally solves the great mystery. The charm and personality of Anita Stewart is a strong factor in the sue cess of this timely story written by George Randolph Chester and Helen Chester. L. Rodgers Lytton and Julia Swanye Gordon make a pair of typical film spies. Henry Winthrop, financier, through the influence of Varrie. a spy, agrees to allow his vast fortune to pass into the hands of foreign powers, believing his own country will gain thereby, Varrie and Marcla Elmore work to gether. Wynn Winthrop Miss Stew art), working in hand with Concord chief of detectives, obtains a clue and following it up is finally responsible for the roundup of the conspirators and the awakening of her father to a sense of what is right.

Hearst-Pathe News contains a spe rial in the shape of the landing of Pershing's troops in France. Other news flashes of interest are given, to gether with a comedy. Columbia. "Her Official Fathers," the Triangle flve-reeler on exhibition at the Colum bia Theater, might be titled "Dorothy Gish," for the picture Is a triumph for that youthful star. It Is doubtful if Dorothy ever scored so effectively as in this photoplay, for she brings to' the comedy of melodramatic finale vivacity. charm and good looks, and all of them In such quantities that the spectator's eyes and attention are fixed on her throughout the 6000 feet of film. Miss Gish wears a number of pretty costumes, and displays a variety of ex pression and a sense of comedy values hitherto unrevealed to motion picture audiences. Her supporting players In clude Frank Bennett and Sam DeGrasse. The star is cast in the role of Janice Webster, who, upon the death of her father, is sole heir to the controlling stock in a trust company. She is not of age, so affairs are run by the direc tors of the company. It soon becomes apparent to two Of the large stockhold ers that without the controlling stock their hands are tied and both decide at once to bring Janice into their respec tive families through marriage. Janice accepts the proposals of both, and the same day and hour set for the wed ding, or weddings. Tjp to the very hour of the ceremony Janice Is undecided as to her choice. The outcome is that she selects well, which means that she marries a young man whom she loves; one who is not marrying her for her money, though she does share it with him after they are man and wife. "Movie Stunts" is a thrilling Tom Mix special showing the various stunts this cowboy-actor has displayed in a long experience with Sells'. It consists largely of riding, shooting, falling and other spectacular range stuff. Warde Released "Dong." To readers who know that first Tri angle and then Artcraft released or dis tributed Douglas Fairbanks' pictures, the statement that Frederick Warde re leased the well-known "Doug" will be little short of startling. "Released" In this instance has a meaning different from the usual film interpretation. Years ago, so Fairbanks admits, the athletic player appeared with Warde in the role of Francois in "Richelieu" on the dramatic stage. A well-meaning but misguided wardrobe mistress clothed him in odds and ends of ancient. modern and medieval garb, and so ef fectually did the costumes succeed in ruining the tense work of those on the stage at his entrance that Warde re leased him. Fairbanks Is closing an engagement at the Peoples Theater In "Wild and Woolly," that burlesque - melodrama that is meeting with so much favor. The production 'has been witnessed by more people than any other of "Doug's" pictures, and has broken all attendance records at the Peoples Theater. Fairbanks presents his new leading woman, Eileen Percy, in "Wild and Woolly," while that novel screen char acter, "Bull" Montana, he of the cauli flower ears, is also In the cast. "Dpug" performs in his usual athletic style, varying the riding of bucking broncho and riding in approved rodeo champion style. Student Militiamen Summoned. EUGENE, Or., July 15. (Special.)

CORVALLIS, Or.. July 16. W. X. Nolan of Minnesota talked at the Cor vallis Chautauqua today. Being interviewed after the lecture as to the workings' of the law recently enacted in that state to control the I. W. W., Mr. Nolan said It was prov ing highly successful. "You will notice few dispatches of I. W. W. troubles bearing a Minne sota date line," he said. "Our legis- ture took the law adopted last winter by the state legislature of Washington and passed it with very little variation. Unlike Washington, however, the labor unions were unable to prevail upon the Minnesota governor to veto it. It makes life miserable for the profes sional agitator and makes the inciting to riot and the commission of sabotage b serious an offence that is seems to have sobered even the most radical. Safety Commission Created. "The legislature has also created a "Safety Commission," and appropriated a million dollars for its use with the authorization of another million if needed. Their business is to suppress sedition and fenrit it out. They are clothed with extraordinary powers even to the removal from office of any but constitutional officals. Already they have closed the headquarters of any number of organizations of social disturbers, shut up saloons where I. W. W. agitators congregate and have or ganized an active home defence league." When asked concerning the activities of the Non-partisan League of North Dakota, Mr. Nolan described their or ganization as purely and altogether Socialistic. Non-Partisan League Socialistic. "The real brains behind the.organi7.a tlon is a leading Socialist of the state," said Mr. Nolan. "He was unable to put his plans over in the Socialist party, so he conceived the idea of organilng un der another name and thereby roping in a lot of people who wouldn't stand for it under its real name. "The farmers are assessed $16 a head and a little coterie of leaders spend the money and .take the offices. It is not as democratic as the Socialist party and was made so purposely In order that the party bosses might run the thing to siit themselves. They tried to get a foot-hold in Minnesota last year, but after watching their antics in North Dakota the Minnesotans declined to come in in any great numbers. They will make another effort, however, but I do not fear they will do any damage there. Early Downfall Predicted. "The organization will not last long for as soon as the farmers tumble to what it is trying to do to them they will decline to support it either finan cially or at the polls Just as they final ly refused to be longer fooled by the Populist movement. The Minnesota farmers are already rapidly acquiring all the alleged benefits the League of fers in the way of co-operative cream eries and-elevators and doing it in the normal way and without resort to poll tics." Mr. Nolan is one of the original "re formers" in his country and was re sponsible for the first primary election In his county. He says he is convinced, however, that the state-wide primary is a failure and that eventually It will be confined to local communities and combined with a state convention com posed of primary elected delegates.
