THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 26, 191G. " 5 to construct any semblance of truth. One single lie, like a single brick, is comparatively useless, except for the purpose of hurling it at someone- else. Hut even then the chances are that more will have to follow unless the aim is exceptional. Upon this very sound philosophy of lifo there is built the moilon picture farce, "Miss George Washington," in which Marguerite Clark, one of the idols of filmdom, appears today at the People's Theater. The picture is said to be the best in which Miss Clark has ever appeared. As some of her vehicles rank amonu the most attractive in the library of celluloid attractions, the promise is a decidedly ambitious one. Then, too, it is the hrst Clark picture since she signed a new Famous PIayer3 contract, setting at rest all rumors as to her desertion of the screen. Incidentally it is the first straight farce in which she has been presented to film fans. Forsaking all semblance of truth for the nonce, Miss Clark becomes the ally of deception, as the result of telling one untruth in order to deceive the head of the private school in which she is a pupil. The richly humorous side of the situation is the fact that she is so Innocent in her appearance that she has deceived her mother and others into believing that she has never ut tered a syllable of fiction since the day she was horn. As a result of this er roneous impression she is presented with a truth medal. But her imme diate friends who know her ability have dubbed her "Miss George Wash ington," and they concede to her with out a dissenting voice the all-around fibbing championship of the world. It might be said in extenuation of the gill's propensity for deception that her father is a diplomat and that she comes honestly by her ability. "DAWN OF LOVF" AT STAR Mabel Taliaferro Is Feature Attrac tion in "Wonderplay." Mabel Taliaferro, one of the most versatile and gifted actresses or tne screen, will be the feature attraction at the Star Theater commencing today in "Thev Dawn of Love," a five-pan Metro "wonderplay." In addition to this production a Black Diamond comedy, "Nearly a De serter," will be presented. This is one of the new Paramount comedies that are proving such a strong addi tion to the dramatic attractions of this feature concern. The story of "The Dawn of Love" was written especially for Miss Talia ferro by Channing Pollock and Ren nold Wolf, two of the foremost dram atists on Broadway, who are now turing their talents to the screen. Miss Taliaferre is surrounded by an un usually strong east, which includes Robert W. Frazer, Leslie M. Stowe. Peter Lang, Martin J. Faust. D. H. Tur ner, Frank Bates and Jack La Mond. The scenes of "The Dawn of Love" are laid along the coast of Maine and the central plot revolves around the life of the daughter of a fisherman, the role played by Miss Taliaferro. Be sides a novel love theme and many beauciful and artistic touches the pro duction teems with. thrilling and startling situations, including .the burning of a lighthouse and a dramatic cene in a smugglers' cave along the cuast.

When the worst comes to the worst and the girl positively refuses to notice the photo graph of the man her aunt selected for her husband, the old lady decides that a boarding-schol is the place for such beings. ' Perhaps other girls learned to be have at Madame Briand's school, but Effie showed no signs of improvement. She decided that boarding-schools were made for a good time and set about demonstrating this decision to the other girls. So when the art instructor, Jules, asked Erfie to his homo to pose for him, she never thought of hes itating. May was the only one who objected to the scheme, for she had posed for Jules, and did not want him to have another model. Madame Brland knew nothing of this, nor did the other girls. Effie made so much trouble that Madame Briand put her in confinement on a bread-and-water diet, but she broke Jail and went to pose for Jules. That was how Effie met Al, a friend of Jules who saved the girl from a savage dog. It was a case of love at first sight. May finally exposes Effie and Jules ' and the girl is expelled.
