Peoples".
MME. OLG.V PETROVA, distin
guished Polish actress, . who is
-now at the head of her own pro
ducing company, is the attraction at
the Peoples Theater on the photoplay
programme which opened yesterday.
This beautiful star, who is credited
with being the best-dressed woman in
motion pictures, is presented in "Exile."
the third and last of a series of pic
tures made for Paramount.
"Exile" is a story of the Orient, de
picting the conquest of an American,
first over tho desolate country he
makes habitable for white people, and
then over a crooked and vicious Portu
guese official and bis cold and fickle
wife. -
Petrova is supported by an excellent
cast. Wyndham Standing ' plays Vin
cento Perez, lord chief justice of the
colony, and Mahlon Hamilton is Rich
mond Hervey, the conquering Ameri
can. Perez, who is robbing the natives,
approaches Hervey with a scheme to
further victimize the Arabs. An in
criminating letter places Perez at the
mercy of the American. He plans to rid
the colony. of the official and also his
wife, a cold and fickle beauty. Perez
sends Claudia, his wife, to bargain
with Hervey. A mutual realization of
their love for each other causes Hervey
to relenf towards Perez. An uprising
of the infuriated Arabs results in the
lynching of Perez, paving the way for
the happiness of the Yankee and
Claudia.
A noteworthy feature of the bill is
the screening of the first number or
the Oregon Industrial News. Among
the men shown are Governor Withy
combe, Mayor Baker and Adjutant
General White, while the Portland
Auditorium, Portland mill making
flour, fruit Industry at The Dalles and
military scenes are shown.
Star.
The entertaining story of Charles
Wendel. the corner grocer; of the little
girl orphan he adopts, who grows up
to love his snobbish son; of the finan
cial disaster which this son brings
him. and of the young man's final re
demption, is delightfully told in "The
Corner Grocer." the current attraction
at the Star Theater.
Lew Fields, the master of comedy
and characterization, appears in the
role of Wendel. the grocer, while little
Madge Evans, one of the child prodi
gies of the film world, is seen as the
little orphan girl.
"The Corner Grocer" is the film ver
sion of. the famous stage success, which
ran for more than 1)00 nights in New
York City, and many will contend that
the film is more gripping, heart
warming and entertaining than the
stage drama.
Mr. Fields is seen at his best in the
role of the grocer. He gives comedy
touches and humaneness to the char
acter that will appeal to nearly every
one. William Sherwood plays the part
of the son. who is sent to college by
his- adoring father and comes back an
out and out snob. Falling into the
hands of an unscrupulous adventuress,
the young man forges his father's
name to secure money for the woman.
The grocer makes the check good, al
though it breaks him financially, but
turns his son out of the house until
he makes good. Of course, the young
fellow reforms, is forgiven by his dad
and falls in love with the orphan, now
a beautiful young woman whom 'he
bad formerly spurned.
"Battle of So m me" Coming."
In th vaults of the War Office In
London repose 14,000 feet of official
motion pictures taken by government
photographers at one of the most im
portant battles in history tho battle
of the Somme.
When the pictures were taken It was
intended that they should be held as a
record of actual warfare for use after
the war. However, the British govern
ment recently decided to make prints
from the original and show them
throughout the allied countries on a
percentage basis for the benefit of the
British war fund. The 14.000 feet have
been cut to 10.000 and the result is
nearly two miles of concentrated ex
citement. In each city one of the prominent
theaters has been chosen for the ex
hibition, and the co-operation of all
British societies has been enlisted. In
Portland "Tho Battle of the Somme"
will be shown at the Majestic Theater.
By the use of periscope motion pic
ture cameras operated by compressed
air, pictures are obtained, of rtiil .war
which dim into puny Insignificance the
mightiest efforts of the great photo
play producers.
In one scene the camera is close be
hind the British front trench. The
Tommies are shown in the foreground
with bayonets fixed and rifles ready,
awaiting the attack. Soon the Ger
mans are seen froniing over a hill in the
distance. Closer and closer they come!
At last the word to fire is given and
the enemy arc mowed down like leaves
before a storm.
-Trenches are seen dynamited: Ger
man prisoners are shown coming in in
thousands, and all the details of trench
life are shown with a realism that
makes the spectator forget the present
and live in spirit with England's brave
Tommies through the life that will so
soon.be lived by American heroes, too.
Liberty.
"Flying Colors," a Triangle picture
in which William Desmond is presented
as a member of the down-and-out club,
a detective. -and lastly as a member of
domestic ties, is the week-end photo
play offering at the Liberty Theater.
News pictorial and weekly are other
subjects to be shown.
"Flying Colors" tells the story of
Brent, college athlete, who fails in an
office and becomes a private detective.
He is sent to a house party where valu
able jewels are missing. Mrs. Lansing,
wife of the host, is conducting a flirta
tion with Captain Drake, who is really
the thief. Brent falls In love with the
wife's sister ajid is successful first in
stopping Mrs. Lansing's flirtation and
then exposing Drake.
J. Barney Sherry, Laura Sears, Golda
Madien and Mary Mclvor are among
the supporting players.

Sunset.
Charlie Chaplin In "The Champion."
one of the most successful comedies of
this king of slapstick mirth, and that
funny Fox comedy-drama, "Two Little
Imps," co-starring the Lee kiddies,
Jane and Katherine, will be continued
at the Sunset Theater for the remain
der of the week.
Charlie performs all sorts of laugh
able and nonsensical stunts In "The
Champion," but, as the title Indicates,
becomes a pugilistic king. A new print
of this comedy is being screened, and
the effect of the two-reeler is just as
uproarious as when Essanay first gave
it to the public.
"Two Little Imps" Is one of the fun
niest f ive-reeleis the screen has pre
sented in many a month. It's full of
ludicrous situations, the Lee kids are
"knockouts.'.' while there is more than
a coloring of melodrama.
Columbia.
"The Conquest of Canaan," a six-reel
plcturization of the iSooth Tarkington
story of the same name, with a cast
headed by Edith Taliaferro and Jack
Sherrill, will be presented at the Co
lumbia Theater today. A comedy will
also be screened.
Anthony Kelly prepared the scenario
for the production and George Irving
directed it for the Frohman Amuse
ment Company. Their work is highly
praised by critics, who assert that the
characterization and atmosphere of the
Tarkington story have been wonder
fully preserved. The story is rich in
human interest. dealing with the
struggles of a small-town boy, disliked
by nearly everyone, to rise in the
world. I

Large attendance at all services in
synagogues and temples and a profound
interest on the part of the congrega
tlons marked the celebration of the
last day of Tom Kippur, the Day of
Atonement, the sacred day that closes
the most significant and solemn ob
servance of the Jewish calendar. Ton
days of repentance and observance of
the old Jewish holidays are held each
year. Yesterday completed this cele
bration. In Temple Beth Israel. Dr. Jonah B.
Wise preached on "The Significance of
Yom Kippur." The services continued
throughout the day and Dr. Wise spoke
with great impressiveness, urging the
sacredness and the importance of true
veneration and of living the life that
typfies the word that has inspired the
faith of the Jewish people for so many
centuries.
The musical setting for the service
was of great beauty. The choir at the
Temple was directed by E. E. Coursen
and the singers rendered special music.
In Temple Beth Israel on Sunday
night at 7 o'clock there will be cele
brated the Feast of the Booths, which
once more will call forth the at
tendance of tho faithful and devout.
On Monday morning at 10 o'clock an
other ervice in connection with this
sam iast will be held. The Temple
Sun. school will be held in Portland
Academy building at 10 o'clock on Sun
day morning. Dr. Wise announced re
cently that in all probability the school
would have to give up the academy as
a meeting place, as the Medical School
contemplated meeting there, but recent
changes in plans make it possible for
the Jewish school to continue at the
Academy. They have opened the Fall
term with more than U00 children in
the school.
In all the other Jewish churches
services for the Day of Atonement were
held yesterday and the Turkish Jews
met in B'nai B'rltli hall. Services of
great solemnity and dignity were held
and the choir boys and other singers,
as well as the rabbis, gave of their
best efforts in making the celebration
in keeping with tho historic signifi
cance of the occasion.
LOAF MAY BE REGULATED
Plan Is to Make Size Standard, as
Trice Cannot Be Set by Law.
The City Council will be asked, prob
ably next week, to pass an ordinance
requiring standard loaves of bread.
City Investigator Humason, who has
made an exhaustive study of bread
conditions, has asked City Attorney La
Roche to prepare the ordinance. Mr.
Humason will appear before the Mas
ter Bakers' Association today to urge
co-operation in the move.
The plan is to have bread sold in
loaves weighing eight, 16, 24 or 32
ounces instead of each bakery having
a loaf to suit its own desires. Tho city
cannot regulate the price, it is said,
but in regulating the sizes of loaves
can place all bakers on a parity as far
as quantity is concerned.
DAIRYMEN ASK RELIEF
Higher Prices for Milk From Con
denseries Is Sought.
Oregon dairymen, acting through
their newly organized league, havo
asked Food Administrator Hoover to
obtain a higher price for milk from
the lnillo eondenseries, which now pay
$2.50 per 100 pounds. This is declared
to be inadequate in view of the high
prices the tinned product sells for and
the factories re said to be paying ex
travagant dividends.
In view of the high cost of feed,
labor and other Incidentals dairymen
must consider in making both ends
meet. It is declared in the telegram to
Mr. Hoover that the returns to the
dairymen are much too small. The
Dairymen's League and Alma D. Katz,
president, signed the Hoover message.
