N THfi SUNDAY OREGOXIAy, PORTLAND, - JANUART 11, 1914. the second half depicts the fortunes of Cosette and Marius. Neither part Is at all necessary to complete the story of the other. At the Peoples Theater the shows run one and a half hours, except In rare Instances. It Is Impossible to adhere to the established schedule In putting- on the entire 11.000 feet of "Les Miser ables" at one performance.- The man agement feels that Its patrons do not desire to sit three full hours lookftie; at a series of pictures. Therefore, tn view of the peculiar nature of this produc tion, it has been decided to run part one Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Jan uary 11, 12. 13, and to exhibit part two Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat urday. January 14. 15. 16 and 17. This plan was adopted at the American Theater in Salt Lake City and was emi nently satisfactory. The plan has two advantages. The story of Jean Valjean and the candlesticks Is so well known that It Is unnecessary to tell the story. The entire production Is beyond all ques tion one of the masterpieces of motion plcturedom. HUMAN IXTEHEST PIiAY STAGED Globe Has Film Portraying Recov ery of Wayward Son. Officer John Donovan, a member of "the finest," ia the two-reel special of fering on the Globe Theater's bill for 23. 23, 24. -25 In "Widow by Proxy." the funniest play this buxom star has had in years. Those who know Miss Irwin have every reason to believe the verity of this statement. Her life, both on and off the stage, has been spent in merry makins. There are no dull moments In Miss Irwin's life, nor have there ever been. From the time she first stepped upon the American stage some years ago Bhe's been a very busy little lady. And Miss Irwin has never been as sisted either by the excessive use of cosmetics or a ridiculous attire In cos tume. She appears on the' stage, ex cepting for a small amount of makeup on her face, in the same way she would appear in tho reception-room of her home. And yet this lady Is considered one of the Nation's greatest laugh pro ducers. . STAR HAS BIG FEATURE FTLM "The Hour and the Man" Strong . Story In Five Reels. The' New Star Theater will present today one of its programmes of Ave reels of selected material. The feature drama Is a two-part story, "The Hour and the Man." The story is that of two brothers, both lawyers, one indus trious and the other evil-minded and lazy; one succeeding: and the other making himself so objectionable by dis- CLASSICAL FILM WILL BE SHOWN AT PEOPLE'S THEATER THIS WEEK. .

The officer has served a long term with distinction but Is dismissed, under orders, by tlio chief, to make room for a political appointee. Ills stepdaughter takes the matter to tho Mayor, who makes him a detective. In this capacity he runs down a gang of counterfeiters, and wins back a son who had wandered away in his youtii. The play Is full of action, dramatic and emotional, with a little humor scattered throughout. All In all it is an excellent picture. Bunny, the Irrepressible, is seen in "Bunny's Mistakes," a screaming farce put over in his best stylo, with Flora Finch. , For excitement and sensation there Is "The Engineer's Revenge." a power ful Lubin. Tho engineer plans to re venge himself on the superintendent, on account of being discharged for drunkenness. His daughter and ' the superintendent's son bring him to his senses before the damage is accom plished. The Hughes sisters, harp and violin, are winning their way to favor by their tuneful and artistic performances. The same bill will be repeated Monday and Tuesday.

Matters are finally righted through the fidelity of an old servant who discovers the plight of the girl. Benjamin F. Wilson, William West, Gertrude McCoy and a number of other Edison players are Included in tho cast. "The Bartered Crown" is a blograph photo-play of more than usual merit.

"BLINDNESS OF VIRTUE" SOON Cosmos Hamilton Play to Come to Helllg January 18. "The Blindness of Virtue" Is the title of one of the most discussed and at the same time one of the few plays on a new an daring tneme to receive the endorsement of cultured people. It will be acted for the first time In Portland at the Heilig Theater, for four nights, beginning next Sunday, January 18, with a special Wednesday matinee. The play comes at a time when the subject is being more than broached that a girl budding into womanhood should receive proper instruction from her mother in the obligation of motherhood: that the freedom of de portment which Is evident . on every side among young people is injurious to their morals, and that girls just out of short dresses should be enlightened upon sex relationship, that they- may be properly equipped to fight against the dangers that may beset them. "The Blindness of Virtue" Is the first play to deal with this subject, and the HEILIG THEATER- "X''r A "V" ""JT . f SPECIAL, PRICE MATINEE SU5 VJ-X-M. V-l is JL LAST TIME EVENING 8il5 THE WINTER.
