The high aualitv of this production has brought about the resent engagement at the Majestic. fo one seriously disputes the ge ius of David Wark Griffith in the ield of motion pictures. He is and ways will be known as one of the great, if not the greatest, director in he industry. As a pioneer in the film game, he realized the possibilities of motion pictures, and his record of achievement is noteworthy. Besides being the father of a number 'of memorable productions, he has dis covered and developed a galaxy of players who are among the biggest stars in filmdom today. The lion's share of credit for the artistic success of "Dream Street" goes to Griffith. He has taken the heme of two of Thomas Burke's noted stories of the Limehouse dis trict of London and made a picture which retains the fascinating spirit of the author's work, and yet is typi cally the product of Griffith. In a story of love and adventure. filled with gripping situations and dramatic touches. three talented players, "discovered" by Griffith, have the leading roles. Carol Demp ster, whose acting is reminiscent of the early days of Mae Marsh and the Gish sisters, has the role of Gypsy Fair, a queen of Limehouse. Ralph Graves is "Spike" McFadden, who conquers the feminine side of Lime house with his golden voice, and keens the males subdued with his ron fists. In vivid contrast to tnis character is his brother Billie. poet and dreamer, played by Charles Em- mett Mack.

Griffith picture, "Way Down East," coming to the Heilig August 1, that only a corps of intrepid cam era men could have made possible the taking of the wonderful scenes of the breaking up of the ice gorge and of the plight of Anna Moore as, on an ice floe, she drifted rapidly to a seemingly inescapable doom. Lil lian Gish really was in great dan ger at the moment when she was rescued from the falls by Richard Barthelmess, and if anyone had failed to "function" property there might have been a real tragedy to record instead of the mimic drama of a broken life, healed by love, as shown In "Way Down East" on the screen. It was at White River Junc tion in Vermont that the scenes on the river were photographed. There was necessity of getting "closeups," and some of the men with cameras clambered across the masses of ice to positions of vantage. The pho tographers were so intent on their work that they never noticed the breaking away of the ice on which they were standing. The New Jersey theaters showing the Dempsey-Carpentier fight pic tures are playing to tremendous busi ness. As the pictures are not al lowed to be shown out of the state, people from New York and Pennsyl vania are traveling to the nearby Jersey cities to view the pictures.

LOVE OF GOD DISCUSSED Bible Declared Condensed In Verse Regarding Coming of Christ to Save Men's Souls. Rev. Norman Kendall Tirlly, asso ciate pastor of First Presbyterian church, preached his first sermon here yesterday morning on the rub- ject. "The Greatest Fact in the World." He took as his text John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish, but have everlasting life. "No man ever lived better quail fied to Judge the importance of i Bible more than Martin Luther," said the pastor. "He called this verse the "little gospel," by which he meant that the whole divine plan of salva tion is presented in Its words. Luther was right. Here we have the whole of the gospel, stated so plainly that the simplest can understand, and so briefly that any memory can retain it, "Here we -have also the 'little Bible. We are so driven by affairs, and busy making a living, that we despair of mastering the 66 books of holy writ. "But in this verse God has extracted the juice from every page of scripture and condensed it, as it were, in a vial, like a drop of attar of roses contains the fragrance of thousands of roses. "After warning us against the pos sibility of perishing, assuring us of the abiding love of God, and promis ing us salvation through his son, this verse lays upon us the duty of be lieving in Christ. We may believe as a privilege and -an opportunity, but let us not forget that belief is also a duty. "During our last year in seminary. ex-President Taft came to our chapel service and made a brief address. He said that he had traveled much, oc cupied positions of large responsibil ity, and had met many kinds of peo ple. What struck him about all the people was that they were seeking to get something and were reluctant to give anything. They were eager to stand on their rights, but did not like to nave any one point out their duties. "Mr. Taft said that men could hear about their rights from any cart-tail orator in the land, but who, he asked, would remind them of their duties if the minister did not. Then he charged us not to neglect to teil men in plain terms of their duties. inai was good advice, and I am trying to follow it this morning. call you to witness that it is your duty to cultivate faith in Christ. If any one of us fails to believe up to the highest degree possible for us under our circumstances, we not only miss a privilege, and let escape an opportunity, but are guilty of a plain Dreacn or duty. co i call upon you to believe upon tne Lord Jesus Christ and be saved Let those who have been believers all their lives become stronger, purer and more purposeful believers. If there should be anyone here, some young man. who does not yet know the blessedness of a fully surrendered life, I beg of him to accept Christ now. Christ' does not want admira tion; he wants obedience. He does not want patronage; he wants wor- snip. "Accept Christ as your teacher, leaaer ana savior. He will teach you now to De tender without being weak how to be strong without being prouo. ana arrogant, and how much more potent for good love is than force. He will lead you through the obscurities and doubts of life into the giaa assurance of duty well done if you will let him save you, he will aaa whoiesomeness and sweetness to your earthly career, and lead you into perfect companionship with God in tne nereatter." 'WALKS WITH CREATOR' TOPIC -Mountains .Held Inspiration for Sturdy Characters. Rev. Edward Constant preached an other sermon yesterday morning at Highland Congregational church in his series on "Walks With the Cre ator." He said: "Mountains are giant sentinels of the ages, mute witnesses to vast physical upheavals and mighty revolutions. They have seen races disappear and one form of civiliza tion succeed another. Marks of time sit upon their brows and their clefts and chasms evidence the havoc of storms which swept over them long before man appeared. No wonder some find a fascination and zest among the lofty heights of nature which to them is nothing less than divine. "What men of endurance and cour age, characters of astounding faith and daring, have come from the moun tain home: In such places God has discovered men of rare personality and molded them into champions of truth and freedom, whose ruggedness matched the stoutness of the granite. Such have stood immovable in fierc est storms of passion when others have been rent and torn and fallen like trees uprooted in the tempest. If such lives show the marks of vol canic action, they none the less dis play the impress of the hand of God. "Ruskin refers to mountains as schools and sacred places. From those peaks God speaks to us and dull is he- who catches not the message. The language is that of stability and cer titude. What inspiring and soul-satisfying visions may be found by dis cerning minds as they look from our city streets upon the snow-clad sum mit of Mount Hood. "If men at times have made the mountain chain a dividing line or bar rier, such was not the divine intent. His design is freedom of intercourse. The mountain trail reminds of the path of ascent to God, whose grace glides down life's slope to the dwell ers on the lowlands. The stream which flows to the valley Is born amid the solitude of the untrodden snows. The suggestion of the mighty hills is that of aspiration and eleva tion rather than separation. From the high places comes the needed stimulus for the conflict of life. From the hills descends the vitalizing en erey. which, like God's free spirit, i over all and pervading all. As the sun breaking over the mountain top fioods the surrounding country, so the light of truth breaking upon the soul reveals the upward way and transfigures character. On Calvary's crest, mount of sacrificial love, we see the dawning of a brighter day. AGEE TRIAL IS TODAY Woman Accused of Mnrder of Hus band Is to Face Jury. The trial of Mrs. Ann Louise Agee will begin in the district court at 9:30 o'clock this morning. The prose- cution. conducted by Joseph. L.

AIRMEN THRILL BATHERS AVIATORS Gira'EXHlBITIOXS AT COLUMBIA BEACH. 15,000 Persons Are Entertained by Exploits on Plane Flying Over River Resort. About 15,000 persons at Columbia beach yesterday witnessed a thrilling exhibition of acrobatic maneuvers. on a hydroplane. Moving-picture cam eras also were on hand and recorded the event. For more than 20 min utes. Lieutenant Ayres and Private Danny Greco circled above the crowds, Greco swinging about on the wings of the plane in a manner that made the watchers below gasp. Hardly had the plane left the wa ter when the wiry little ex-serviceman from overseas had clambered to the top and had taken a seat, where he rode jauntily for a few minutes. Then, with the quickness and sureness of a monkey and the daring of a fighter, he began his feat of dangling from the clouds. From his position on the upper wings of the plane, Greco started, head down, toward the earth. When the lower part of the fusilage was reached he did not stop, but kept on with his slide until only his knees were left on the lower wing of the plane. Waving to the crowds, he con tinued in that position for several seconds and then seemed to dart back into the upper part, where he kept up his startling display of nimble ness. For the first time in the history of Portland, a woman, next Sunday, will duplicate Greco's exhibition and will go into the air with him, performing at the same time from the opposite wings of the plane. In addition to this an arrangement has been- made by the management of the amuse ment resort whereby on every Sun day throughout the rest of the sea son stunts such as sliding from a plane to a speeding motorboat, or vice versa, and giving acrobatic thrills from the end of a 100-foot rope or ladder will be provided. The performance yesterday was done a second time for the benefit of the movies, which were taken un der the direction of Manager Raleigh of the Columbia theater, and will be shown some time this week. To get a good "shot," it was necessary for the whole show to be put on a sec ond time, and Greco and Ayres cheer fully accommodated the crowds and the cameramen. - Although the sun was hidden by the clouds for a. part of the day, the weather was warm enough to attract large crowds to the river for a plunge, several hundred children, too small to swim, playing about in the shallow water and oh the sands. The dancing also was popular, the new pavilion attracting much larger crowds than on the opening day a week before. HOOD RIVER SESSION ON Plant and Insect Specialists Open Three-Day Gathering Today.

"There is 'Peace, Perfect Peace.' But that hymn lacks the thrill of 'Onward, Christian Soldiers' and "Fight the Good Fight With All Thy Might." We have often met peaceful people in the different societies of the church who loved peace so much that they have leaned back at their ease and allowed other people to do the work that they ought to have done. There are timid, peace-loving folk who allow tasks to be undone and kind words that are not said in season until they are uttered by someone else. "From the moment of our birth into this world, along the troubled path of childhood, as men and women, in middle age and until old age, life is all a conflict in which we are all or ought to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ.
