BY MART AKNE SMITH. "
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

m. story of an attempt to gain posses
v elon of an estate through violence and
h fraud, and the restoration of the prop
Y.erty by the cleverness of a girl.
"Thanks for the Lobster" is a clever
" comedy starring Wally Van, "Cutle," In
,cne of his own productions. It is a
tl'new sort of comedy for "Culie," but he
makes a "go" of it and adds a few
! more millions to the number of laughs
that he has produced since he first be
, , ran with the film companies.
In addition the Majestic will have a
;; 'George Ade comedy and the latest sport
;; and war pictures in the weekly review

Five-Part Drama Combines Iesson
Ij and Romance in Charming: Way.
"The Lure." a five-part visualization
,of the drama of the same title which
:; had such a phenomenal run in New
;;;York, dealing with the pitfalls con
,;. fronting young women in the large
!i;citles of the country, will be the chief
!' attraction for three days beginning to-.
;'':iay at the Colombia.
It is a play containing a strong
i .moral lesson, and is so presented as
; ;to give no offense. It has been re
,celved with approbation in every city
in which it has been shown. Claire
-"Whitney and Bernard Daly are fea
; tured in the cast, and they are sup
; ; ported by an exceptionally strong
. company. There art some highly
:;! melodramatic and touching situations
,.'and thrilling adventures depicted.
; , , The story deals with a schoolgirl
a prominent family who myBterious
Ijly disappears after having become in
fatuated with a fascinating young
man. Her parents solicit the assist
ance c-t a clever detective to search
for their daughter, and one day while
disguised as a gas inspector he enters
a low resort and discovers the girl he
loves. He denounces her, but finally
discovers that she has been trapped
and is held a prisoner. How he suc
ceeds in securing her escape, and how
he finds the girl for whom he first
went in search, makes a story which Is
thrilling in every particular.
At the Columbia next Wednesday

vorite New England drama which has
met with such great success on the
American stage for so many years.
Charles A. Stevenson will be featured
in the cast, and he is supported ably

SUXSET HAS FIVE PHOTOPLAYS
Higli Class and Unusual Programme
Outlined for Theater Patrons.
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-

Installment of "Trey
Begins Four-Day Run Today.
Continuing its mystery and its hair
raising situations the fourteenth and
next to the last installment of the
famous "Trey o Hearts" serial, en
titled "The First Law," will be shown
at the Star-Theater for four days be
ginning today. One of the thrilling
scenes ls cleverly brought in when a
miner, with whom Rose and Alan seek
refuge, turns a forcible hydraulic
stream upon the automobile In which
Marrophat and Jimmy are riding. 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.

science." The contest was inaugurated June IS
and elosed September 13 of this year.
During the three months 365 manu
scripts were received. But 611 of this
number stood the test of the first
reading. From the remainder it is

ture comedies will be retained as
worthy of production-

the great comedy production "An
American Citizen," returns to the Peo
pies -Theater today in a Famous
Players -Paramount picture, "The Man

edy triumph.
The situations are just the kind that
afford the star ample opportunity to
display his droll mannerisms, and de
llghtful, mirth-provoking pranks.
"The Man from Mexico" has been re
corded In theatrical history as one of
the greatest comedies of the past two
decades- The humorous incidents oc
cur so rapidly that there is scarcely a
pause or laugnter throughout the en
tire production. The film version of
the plot is greatly amplified, and many
laughable situations that were referred
to only in the original production are
