m rtlaceA Tne 1 1 o- h t summer Attrac
tions is at the seashore where Summer
shows and vaudeville are Well patro
nized. For many years the largest' and
only high-clays vaudeville theater at
Brighton Beach was the well-known
Brighton Beach Music Hall. Within the
last few years, possibly in 1310. an up-to-date
modern house was erected on
the boulevard near the ocean front and
cnlled the Xew Brighton.
Intense rivalry was the keynote of
the relations between the theaters and
this year the older . house went "into
pictures." It has met with success and
there were many hints from the man
agement that a big surprise might be
expected. The big surprise turned out
to be the rights to run "The Birth of a
Nation." that wonderful "Two Dollar
Movie" which is packing the houses
in seven cities and recently closed a
successful engagement at an eighth, the
Auditorium in Los Angeles.
The military opening night at the
Brighton Beach Music. Hall is one that
will be long remembered. On Friday
night. July 2. (note that there was no
fear of "the Friday" hoodoo!) more than
1000 members of the National Guard
were -reviewed by Mayor Mitchell in
front of the Brighton Beach Hotel.
These Included -Too members of the
Twenty-third Regiment under the com
mand of Colonel Norton, the Old Guard
under former Mayor Ardolph L. Kline,
the officers of the N'inth Coast Artillery
and about 150 volunteers of the Civil
AVar to whom the- pictured scene
brought back recollections of -the real
days of '61. v 1 '
Film May Come to Portland.
The phenomenal success of this mas
ter film has caused much surprise in
theatrical .circles, as well as among
moving picture experts who believed
that the millenium had been reached
-with the .opening of lha 25 and 50-
(Milwaukee). the Liberty (Xew York)
and in Seattle, crowded houses have
Been the result.
The ushers in volunteer uniforms are
assisted by pretty maids in the quaint
old-fashioned dress of war times. The
music is a treat, in itself and there Is
much novelty as well as unusualness
to the whole spectacle. Whether a
second "Birth of a Nation" will ever
be produced, remains to be seen. If
It is. the producer undoubtedly will
be the same genius. David W. Grif
fith. Portland probably will see this great
picture, shortly. Regarding a rumor
that arrangements were under way to
exhibit It in Portland, the management
would not deny the report but stated
that they were not at liberty to dis
close details at this time. An announce
ment probably through the news col
umns of the paper, may therefore be
expected within the near future.
Regarding "The Alien." which com
bined the silent and the spoken drama
to a great degree of success at the
Astor Theater, the-offering resolved
itself into two distinct performances
last week, meaning that George Beban
and company will be seen In vaudeville
In the sketch (from which the picture
was made) and the last act of the
silent drama becomes silent instead of
spoken! Rather a clever idea to finish
the feature so that it could be a com
plete picture whenever the call of the
footlig"s and the two-a-day becamo
too strong for the clever Mr. Beban.
"On Trial" Closes for Tlsae.

have openings of nev productions in

foresight to have read weather con

clever comedians and unusually artistic

there are some good musical numbers.
