U A PERFECT SCREAM" is excellent 11 phraseblogy for "Fools for Luck," the Sunset Theater photoplay headliner, in which the Portland public is given its first glimpse of Taylor Holmes. Holmes, who made a hit on the speaking stage in "His Majesty, Bunker Bean," is bound for stardom at top speed. "Fools for Luck contains the same fine brand of comedy contained in Ken- nett Harris' Saturday Evening Post tory, "Talismans," from which the photoplay was taken. The story is full of funny situations, but laughable as it is, Holmes makes it even funnier by his acting, which is never overdrawn, but perfectly natural. The story concerns the superstitious Philander, who treasures horseshoes, a rabbit's foot, lucky coins, and refuses to walk under a ladder or take the third light from a match. In the open ing reels an exceptionally fine load of comedy is extracted from Philander's superstitious. You simply have to Inneh at it unless you close your eyes. Then the picture takes a turn for the serious. and Philander discovers that, with horseshoes and all, his job, his girl and his money take to themselves wings because of frequent poker and drinking sessions. This latter part contains so much sound reasoning behind its human appeal that it will be appreciat ed by all. Helen Ferguson, a pretty picture newcomer. Is Brunhilda, the girl in the case. Philander meets ner on nis vaca tion, they become engaged, and then the man loses his job and girl and rapidly becomes a down-and-outer. He gets another job, refuses to drink, eschews poker, and wins back the girl. "A Reckless Romeo, a laughable two-reel Fatty Arbuckle comedy-slap- sticker, is another entertaining feature. Iiiberty. "Arms and the Girl," Billie Burke's second Paramount photoplay, bears a title with a martial air, but there's not a battle in the picture. It's a comedy drama involving a trio of young Amer icans in a Belgian town just as it was inundated by the "Bodies." It might be etyled a warless war drama, for while there are hundreds of German soldiers, on foot, horseback, in automo biles and on motorcycles, the only flash of powder is from a revolver there's nothing presented that smacks of war's spectacularity or horror. "Arms and the Girl is a successful picturization of the stage play of the same name. The story, acting and presence of Billie Burke in her reper toire of cute little Burke tricks, insure for the picture much popularity. Miss Burke's charm, her mannerisms and frocks are optically pleasing, but for the big laughs of the play one is forced to turn to George S. Trimble, a rotund chap who plays the German General. The star is seen as Ruth Sherwood, an American girl who misses her train when she steps off to send a telegram to her scapegrace fiance, and is forced to taJte refuge in a small-town Belgian hotel on the eve of the German in vasion. Her passports are stolen by a Russian spy and Russian papers sub stituted. A dangerous situation is averted when she discovers in an officer an old New York cafe waiter. However, Wilfred Ferrers (Thomas Meighan), who undertakes to destroy the Russian passport, is sentenced to be shot for aiding a spy and only saved when Ruth declares that he is her husband-to-be. The General insists on a marriage. The story is brought to a climax by a een sational effort to escape. Ferrers is shot by the General he had trussed up in his bed, but escapes with Ruth and finally makes his way with the bride he has learned to love across the At lan tic. "A Bedroom Blunder," the first of the Mack-Sennett Paramount comedies, establishes a high mark for the pro ducers to shoot at. It's a girl picture, with a wondrous display of feminine pulchritude arrayed in various abbrevi ated bathing garb, and likewise jealous nusDand siapsticker with an array of talent, including Charley Mur ray, Wayland Trask, Bobbie Dunn and Mary Thurman. Star. After witnessing , the Paramount adaptation of the popular Booth Tar- kington novel, "Seventeen," one can readily understand why Jack Pickford and Louise Huff are being starred so successfully in the production of that company. Give this youthful duet, themselves the embodiment of youth, a story of average worth and they are almost sure to "put it over." "Seventeen" is not an average story, however. It was one of the hits of the year, and with such material to work with Mary's young brother and his diminutive blonde part ner emphatically prove their, right to v rank among the big starring combina tions of the silent drama. "Seventeen" is a story of puppy love. Jack Pickford is the gangling youth so affected. His Sylvanus, or Willie, as he is known to the boys and girls of his block, has his first shave, em barks upon his first love affair, dons his first dress suit, enjoys his first formal party, plans an elopement as the only way to win the girl who has won his calloused heart, and then, when he discovers that she has jilted him, attempts the suicide route as ease for a broken heart. All of these incidents of growing youth are pictured in a manner most laughable. Jack Pickford, who has the faculty of living his parts, is the per fect awkward youth who is so easily embarrassed a.ifl v'ho:n everyone tries to embarrass. ;.--?;iiyo Iluff plays the heart-breaker frr.; tlif city a girl who enlin - I . r :-"it in the small town by :'li:-i;. courageously with every boy .fchc- . . t mid then, to si lence Sylvaiurs, .'i.ct;e suit becomes too impetuous, sli.- :;j;rees to an elopement appointment hi, h she never means to keep.

"The Man From Painted Post," the wild and woolly Western comedy drama of cattle-rustling in Wyoming during the days of the "Hole-in-the-Wall" gang, a picture which presents Douglas Fairbanks, most popular of all stars, in a role productive of grins and thrills, entered upon the last lap of its screen ing engagement at the Peoples Theater yesterday. This Artcraft picture is meeting with the same sort of reception that the public has been according recent Fair banks offerings, which means crowded houses promising to establish new at tendance records. In this picture Fairbanks discloses many new cowboy tricks learned from champions of a recent Rodeo meet, who appear with him in the photoplay. The story of Wyoming cattle-rustling days presents the versatile Douglas in many thrilling situations, offering typical Fairbanks surprises. Among other things Douglas is called upon to shoot two holes through the "bad man.'s" hat while it reposes peacefully upon the latter's head, some hundred yards away. When the usual substitute was suggested, Fairbanks refused to listen to it, thereby retaining his distinction of never "faking s stunt" before the camera. Frank Cam peau, the popular Broadway actor, who portrays the outlaw character, being familiar with Douglas ability as sharpshooter, readily agreed to go through the bit, bjit when the star lev eled his guns and fired two shots di rectly at the actor's head, even he had sinking feeling in his stomach. know Douglas is a crack shot," but even at that, when I looked into the mouths of those 'young cannons' it made me a bit uneasy," said Campeau later. The scene was enacted exactly as per sched ule, however, and Campeau's hat lay on the ground before he realized it was all over. Columbia. "Come through," the second of the Jewel productions, is art unusual melo drama, a crook play linking the under world with the upper crust, a photo play of many "punches." George Bronson-Howard wrote thi! story, which has been transferred! to the screen in seven parts, and. the pro ducers utilized' the services of such players as Herbert Rawlinson, Alice Lake and Roy Stewart. The result is picture of excellent entertainment value. The bis "punch" of the story is the situation in which a marriage between two utter strangers, a crook and a bo ciety girl, is forced at the point of a pistol. This startling and novel ell max is responsible for that ad in which "Possum," the crook, explains the sit uation in this wise: "He pokes a gun in my face and backs me across the room to a minister and a girl I never saw before and says 'Come through.' The story in brief concerns the social aspirations, of Velma Gay and the burg larizing exploits of Joseph Court known as "Possum." Velma Is engaged to one man, a Westerner, and. interested in another. The Westerner knows it "Possum" believes that much jewelry is to be had in the house where Velma is stopping. The Westerner finds the crook and girl together ln the dead of night, believes them to be lovers, and forces a marriage. Then Court decides to reform, and does so despite the per secution of Buck Lindsay, the man who was responsible for the gun-enforced ceremony. Herbert Rawlinson and Alice Lake carry off the acting honors in a picture certain to enjoy much popularity throughout the country. Five Fatal Accidents Reported. SALEM. Or, Oct. 14. (Special.)
