The Blua Bird. the Artcraft plc- turixatlon of Maurice Maeterlinck famous story. Is a screen triumph of artistry. But under the skilful direct ing of Maurice Tourneur, the produc tion becomes more than a mere artistic triumph, one which will appeal merely to those seeking screen uplift It is a human photoplay, one which will ap peal to young and oi l. and particularly to the young of all ages. "The Blue Bird" In stage garo at tracted capacity audiences in Portland. Ita cinema Interpretation surpasses Its stase brother In every respect, and la worthy of even a greater patronage. It's not an ordinary photoplay, the unfolding of a tale of sex tangle, crook melodrama, or wild and woolly Western action, but a visualization of happiness as two little children. Tyltyl and Mytyl. sought for It- No one can see the ple ura without being deeply impressed with the artistry that has gone into its making and the story of happiness and cheerfulness that It unfolds. One of the most beautiful parts ot the picture, and at the same time one f the cleverest pieces ot screencrsii successfully attempted. Is that of the miraculous transformation of the grave yard Into a beautiful garden of flowers. At the sudden change one of the chil dren asks the other: "Where are the dead"? And the reply Is: "There are no dead." A beauttful thought told in simple lanlftiage. Of the multitude of wonderful scenes the following appear to make a deep Impression: The scenes In the Azure palace, where tha countless unborn children are awaiting their chance on earth; tha Palace of Luxuries, where a banquet aud ball la In progress: the views In the palace or night, where the boy Is shown the terror of night-time, such as ghost, etc.. and the presenta tion of Joys and Happiness. Still an other wonderful stage effect Is that showing the ship of Babyhood starting on Its Journey to the waiting mothers who are grouped on a rorkbound coast, silhouetted against the sky. The two children are played by Rubin Macdougall and Tula Belle: clever, genuine and pretty children. Tom Cor toss, as the cat In human form, gives sn extremely clever perfornisnce. Lil lian Cook.

"Lest We Forget," which presents Rita Jollvet. a survivor of the Lusl tanla. as the star: Hamilton Revclla, popular young leading man. as the hero, and L. Rogers Lytton. well known screen villain, aa the German snv. is the picture of war. Its well told and dramatic story Includes flashes of the Invasion of Franca by the German hordes, the thrilling ad lenturea of a French woman in the hands of the enemy, and a reproduc tion of the sinking of the Lusltanla. To revert to the Lusltanla episode, about which the photoplay revolves. It visualisation Is really a remark able bit of work. It haa been filmed In a manner to make one believe that he la actually seeing the real thing. Sch stuff aa this has never been done belter. The story of the picture ts supposed to be based on what Miss Jollvet has seen and experienced, but It's difficult to Imagine one person Involved In the series of highly dramatic episodes which make "Lest We Forget" so en tertaining. She's a grand opera alr.g tr In Paris at the time the story opens. When war Is declared Rita is captured by the Germans while help ing her mother In a telegraph office, and Is sentenced to bs shot. She haa fallen In love with Harry Wlnalow. wealthy young American, and when he hears that she haa been shot aa a spy, joins the French army. Rita 'makes a miraculous) escape 77&e Afoit&o of- ? facers'? from the Germans and reaches Paris to hear that Harry had been killed at the battle of the Marne. Rita returns to New York, with a suitor, a German Baron, at her heels. He begs her not to return to Europe on the Lusltanla, but aba engages passage, ths boat Is torpedoed, and she Is one of the sur vivors. Then comes ths reunion of the lovers. Harry merely being among the missing at the time he was report ad dead. Sunset. Fist fights galore, acrobatics, and flashes of genuine comedy decorating a story already humorous, are a few of the good things in store for specta tors of the Douglas Fairbanks-Triangle production, "Regwle Mixes In." it's one of the pictures which made Fair banks the biggest figure of the amuse ment world. Bessie Love, who, since the old Fair banks days, has developed into a lone star. Is the heroine of "Reggie Mixes In." he's the girl of the slums who attracts the eye and wins the love of Rcgfrle, preolpltatlngr a series of scraps In which the younr chap from the "upper ten" proves his Xlstic versa' tility. Reggie, who Is a red-blooded chap, tires of the society bunoh hs Is a mem ber of, and while wandering about In search of something new he comes across Agnee Shannon, dancer In cheap slum cabaret. P.eggie admires the girl immensely and would propose to her on the spot but for his fiancee, Dorothy. Ho rushes to Dorothy's home to ask fwr release, and takes It with out asking when be discovers that shallow woman In the arms of an other. So back Reggie goes to the cabaret. There his plans are opposed by Tony Bernard, gang leader. Reggie first whips a section of the gang and then proposes to Tony that they ad Journ to a room and fight it out alone. Then comes a glorious fight, with Reggie, of course, as the man to emerge from the walled ring. Alice Howell, the wlld-halrod eccen trlo comedienne who has been styled "the female Chaplin.' appears In brand new two-reeler as another Sun set comedy feature. "What's the Matter With Father?" is a hilariously funny alapstlcker. Columbia. "Rose of the World." adapted from the novel by Agnes and Edgerton Castle and directed by that muter of screencrsft. Maurice Tourneur, la the latest vehicle for the presentation of the beauty, charm and emotional abll ty of Elsie Ferguson, who came to pictures from the stsge but a few months ago. 'Rose of the World Is a tale of matrimonial mixup, with a background of old English and mystlo India- Miss Ferguson plays the role of Rosamond English, who learns that her husband, Harry iWyndham Standing), has fallen In battle.

CHICAGO. April 14. (Special.) Complete faith In President Wilson' liberalism, subservience to the democ racy of American Government, a plea against war's corrosive hatred and yearning for peace peace pillared only upon Justice this was the massage to day of Dr. Emll G. Hirsch. of Sinai Temple, as a response to members hfs congregation who had cast aspor sions upon his Americanism. No pew in the big temple was cant. Each seak. on the balcony was occupied, thrones surged in the aisles. stood against the walls and crowded the broad stops outside. An audience which arrived complacently departed tense and emotional. Critics Appear Satisfied. Following Dr. Hlrsch's exposition his attitude toward the war and his allegiance to the President's purpose, critics and skeptics emphatically de clared the preacher had vindicated him self of the charge of un-Americanlsm. After Dr. Hirsch terminated his ser mon a hushed silence ensued, which was Interrupted by a burst of ap plause an applause which violated the sealed tradition of ths temple, but against which no protesting voice wss raised. Men and women wept, visibly af footed by words from the pulpit which shattered unenlightened prejudices. Members of the congregation arose en masse and rushed toward the platform to grasp the preacher's band and ex press their admiration for the tolerant spirit which emanated from the ad dress. Criticism of his loyalty was at tributed by Dr. Hirsch to zealots, who, with mistaken patriotism, had given forth evil reports." Bonds Are Distributed After directing his congregation hrough the verses of "America," Dr. Hirsch announced $n3,000 worth of liberty bonds of the third loan already had been distributed at the door and advocated further purchase of the bonds, which he characterized as "a privilege to the holder." Duty with a capital D stands para mount In the Jewish vocabulary of divinity. In times of peace few of tis knew what duty really meant. W ar Is teaching us the right and majesty of duty. "If I had said before the war, "your property is not your own, but Is at the disposal of the nation to which It belongs,' I should have been branded as a Socialist or anarchist. Today we are called upon to forfeit a portion of that prosperity, which Is a social Inheritance. "Do you wonder ttiat It took mo year to adjust myself to the fact that America unsheathed Its sword Justly? Those who mouth with their tongues against their neighbor must remember how dangerous it Is to toy with man's reputation an evil from which Jews have always suffered. Be char liable, lest from the grand patriotism shall spring a reign of terror, which God forfend. "We need a united Nation, not to be severed by mistaken zeal."

FORCE DOCTRINE DECRIED Claim That Teutons Are God's Cho sen People, Destined to Rnlo Is Denounced by Rector of Trinity Oinrch. In Trinity Episcopal Church, yester day morning. Rev. A. A. Morrison, the rector, expressed tiia willingness to go to hell rather than to a German heaven, dominated by the German Idea of force, to crush the weak, so as to make room for the strong. Dr. Morrison took as - P1'" text: "Gd ! n respector of per sons," Acts x:34. The ancient Israelites were accepted as the chosen people of God for the purpose of fulfilling a leadership," said Dr. Morrison. "They dominated all other human beings. It is amazing in modern times that this ancient conceit should be adopted by the Germans as a religious sentiment for the purpose of beguiling the people of Germany. In this fight the German government has overlooked nothing in all devices, how ever evil or treacherous, nor any subtle process of propaganda. Not only In Germany, but In every country, even In this city. German agents are at work as emissaries of the Teuton govern ment, and all looking' to the consum mation of German glory. Do not Im agine that because you do not hear the sounde of German shells you are safe. This world is too email for these two sets of people to live in at the same time those who believe In Ger man autocracy and those who do not. We who believe In democracy under stand that our freedom comes primarily from Jesus Christ, and that man is the son of God. "There is no one chosen people, be cause all who love God are chosen. It s a nonsensical conceit to say that the German people are God's chosen people. The test of the German theory of God what does It propose to. do for hu manity? To wipe the weak off the face of the earth. It preaohes the doc trine of the survival of the fittest. In other words, you must not waste your sympathy on things not worth while. It does not stop at slaying babies, women and old people. Now, I do not believe In that kind of a God. nor kind of heaven that can be won under such a scheme. If. I believed that euoh a God existed. I d prefer to go to hell because I'd find there people to sym pathize with. 'Jesus said: "Blessed are the merci ful.' The Germans say: 'Blessed are the powerful, who are self-assertive. who covet, who extend Germanic power.' xne truth of God Is eternal. No mere man can change this law. God miles on the nation that deals In righteousness. We can adjust the cause I the allies with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We ehall ultimately, thorough ly and completely triumph In his name. for the cause of freedom." CHURCH LOYAITY EMPHASIZED Dr. Alexander Beers Speaks on Sub ject, "Speed Up, Protestantism. ' "The church is speeding ud snd soon will be marching In double-quick time: the countless number of service flags from every denomination in Christen dom is the emphatic answer to the church a loyalty, declared Dr. Alex ander Beers, pastor of the First Free Methodist Church last night In his pa- trlotlo sermon, "Speed up. Protestant ism." The standard of the church is right eousness," said Dr. Beers. "The church as done nobly in the past, but will do far better in the future. The I. W. W. and kindred organizations of pro-German sentiment were not formed In the church. Dr. Beers has just completed his sec ond year as pastor of the church at East -Ninth and East Mill streets and has been successful In building up the church. SUPREME NEED TO BE MET Dr. Gliormley Describes the Church as the Upper Sky of Democracy. Dr. J. F. Gbormley spoke at the Rod ney Avenue Christian Church at the morning eervlce on "Meeting the World's Supreme Need." He said in part: "The church Is the upper sky of democracy through which shines the sun of righteousness with healing In his beams for the nations. Its ideal man was heaven-born and came to earth as the light of the world. The light shineth in darkness but the dark ness comprehendeth not. Man was heaven-born; the Image of God Is mir rored In his soul. The Ideal Is In the subconsciousness of the human race; it Is universal. Belew the surface stream, shallow and light. Of what we say we feel; below the stream. As Ught. of what wa think we feel there flows With noiseless current strong, obscure and deep. The central stream of what we feel Indeed.

The supreme need will then have been finally and completely met and the world will have become safe for democracy. CHRISTIAN SYMPATHY IS NEED Large Congregation Listens to Rev. William Waldo at White Temple. "The Greatest Need of the City of Portland Christian Sympathy." formed the theme of the sermon of the Rev. William A. Waldo, Ph. D, pastor of the White Temple, who addressed a large congregation yesterday morning. "Those yho have erred, those who have been unfortunate often have started life In a home where there was no human sympathy," said the pastor. He urged the church, members to he more sympathetic and considerate and to be above pettiness and not to judge others. "Consider your own weakness and see what you would have done placed as the other person was. Con sider the circumstances. Say the kind word at the right time. Get the spirit of the Christ in your hearts and have the true Christian sympathy." BAPTIST MISSION HERE COLUMBIA RIVER DISTRICT SOCIE TIES PREPARE PROGRAMME.

Problem of Gardener, JT is by no means an easy problem In borne gardening to so plant a pro portionate epace to each vegetable de sired that there will be a sufficient supply and yet be no waste or, in other words, a balance between enough and too much. There should be no efforts wasted In producing something which may epoil before being used, going by the stage of maturity before it be har vested. There are some vegetables which do not long remain in an edi ble condition. Spinach, head lettuce and radishes are common examples, the first two susceptible to the early Sum mer heat and shooting to seed, and the last named rapidly going into a pithy condition. I saw a striking Illustra tion of lettuce waste last year when there was an over-planting of the first seeding of lettuce and many beads went into a seed etalk before it was possible to use them. Only by donat ing these to other folks could they be saved, and most of us are not growing vegetables for neighbors as well as ourselves. With such orops therefore, as let tuce and radish. It becomes necessary to make limited sowings and to make aunneaslonal eeedlnga so that the younger area may be producing when the first area is about all harvested. All early bead lettuce varieties are nrone to quickly seed under warm- weather conditions. If the plants are transplanted or thinned out (following seeding) at a distance of eight inches apart, as they ehouiu do, io-au ieet Is ample for one seeding, but there must be euccesslonal sowings to take ' . . , ntw a-ne-Iv, rr a care os tus u normal consumption of live to seven heads per week. Seeding successively, therefore, every three weeks or o should bring the desired results. Do not use for Summer the same sorts as for Spring eeeding. Plant now Big Boston, Tennis Ball, New Tork, but . later on Hanson or Iceberg to with stand warm June and July days. (To be continued.) 1 SOCIETY M ISS Katherlne Schnabel, the attrac Charles J.

No woman need fear dis comfort if she will fortify herself with the well-known and time-honored remedy. Mother's Friend. This is a most grateful, penetrating, ex ternal application that at once softens and makes pliant the abdominal muscles and ligaments.
