" PICTURE, exhibited in Chicago and whih created furore in mo tion picture circles was "Your j j Girl and Mine," an equal suffrage offer i ; lng. Mrs. Medlll MoCormick, daushter of I the late Senator Mark Hanna, one of ; the most ardent suffragists in the c; cause declared that this picture is worth more to the cause of the en- ; ; f ranchlsement of women, than hours f lecturing; to one's self in a crowded - square. The play deals with the trials of a J woman, married to a gentleman-villain 1 who makes himself master of her and 5 her fortune, because the law makes a him "ruler of this house." 5 At the man's death, he leaves his 3 money, recently bequeathed him by an uncle, and the guardianship of his two j small daughters to his unprincipled father. The heart-broken little mother attempts to abduct her babies, and the j law takes her into custody. The subtitles in the portion of the j Play dealing with the trial are verit- able bombs. The defense is handled by 2 a woman lawyer, who hurls such epi taphs as "My client is chared with the crime of abduction, and the prose- j, cution asks you to send her to the - penitentary because she tried to get back the children whom Bhe bore and ,-; whom her husband willed away with 1 cut her consent." The appeal for suffrage is subtle, yet 1 of tremendous force. Even dufing the , struggle of the mother for her babies, r the power of the greater theme is felt. : The story is the excuse the cause S rather than the effect, for the appeal. The photodrama is in eight reels. It J was produoed by the Sellg Company, specially for Mrs. McCormick, who will use it in the interest of Nation - wide suffrage for women. 'i Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the noted u suffrage lecturer appears in the pic S ture. Vr i i i 5 "THE SORCERESS" FASCINATES .

Starting today for a run of three days, the Sunset Theater offers an un usual programme of five high-class photoplays, each one featuring a film star of the first magnitude. It is the first time in Portland that a thing of this kind has been attempted, bo the result will be awaited with interest by all motion picture exhibitors. "The Turn of the Road." is the fea ture of a two-reel Majestic production. Miss Muriel Ostriche is cast in the leading part. The plot abounds in cleverly exposed adventures, the story is consistent and convincing. The cli max reveals the plot, which is in doubt until the last moment. , Charles Chaplin, the famous "souse," of the Keystone Company, is featured in a rollicking, frollicking super-Key. etone farce. "His Musical Career." As a piano mover Mr. Chaplin deserves to be classed as one of the greatest muslcianes of all time. Gertrude Claire, famous for her de lineation of sweet old "mother" parts, adds to her laurels in "The Desperado " a thrilling two-reel Western melo drama, produced by the Broncho Com pany. "The Desperado" heralds re vival of the old-time Western melo- ma' so PPula" several years ago. . "Mother's Influence" ls the title of a delightful romance featuring Billie West and Wallace Reid. of the Than houeer Company. The plot and story are as virtuously good as the title indicates. The Mutual Weekly, always the last news pictorial to be released, has some striking pictures of the battlefielils- -W y S t. : ? '! - r iOirl , - si k- ii ' , .

The car is actually "washed" ever a steep embankment and marks the sad death of the villains. "Those Were Happy Days." a two reel Nestor comedy, Is a feature of the bill. A little of the slap-stick va riety of fun is introduced, but Just enough to add sest to the real humor. It Is played capably by the popular film comedians, Victoria Ford. Lee Moran and Eddie Lyons. Following this film a fine drama with just the right tone of comedy will be shown, entitled The Tail of a Lonesome Dog." How a dog captures a burglar Is tht interesting story this film tells. A well-trained dog is not an unusual animal, but the one that cuts short a hobo's theiving career is nip re than unusual. The antics of the burglar furnish the amusement in the picture. The Animated Weekly is a truthful picturization of the latest news from the European war lone, and pictures, as well many happenings closer home, which will no doubt be interesting. Movie Notes. The judges in the comedy scenario prize contest, conducted ' by the New York Morning Telegraph and Char tered Theaters Corporation, have awarded the three prizes, as follows: First prize Roy L.

During the three months 365 manu scripts were received. But 611 of this number stood the test of the first reading.

Lasky Company, who will feature her In "Merely Mary Ann." a ' famous dramatic success of a few seasons ago.
