IB it possible for a. married man to
honor and respect his wife yet lope
all feeling: of Interest and love for
her and turn to another woman? Many
people ha.ve discussed this question;
many women have thought that their
husbands were drifting away from

NEWS OF THE PHOTO THEATERS
(CONTINUED FROM PAGES 4.)
of the foremost directors of silent
drama, has been en prated by John R.
Kreuler, president of the Mutual Film
Corporation, to direct for the Empire
.Ail-Star Corporation, the production of
Julia Sanderson, the latest of the
Charles Frohman stars to be added to
Mutual's list.
Mr- Capellani leaves the post of director-general
of the Clara Kimball
Young corporation to hecome affiliat
ed with the Mutual organization.
Mr. Capellani'a career began in the
Paris studios of Pathe where he en
tered the motion picture business as
an assistant cameraman. He became
during his five years with Pathe of
Paris, cameraman and director. The
following- seven years he spent direct
ing feature productions in France,
leaving Europe to come to the United
States as & director for World.
Glen Cavender. of the Keystone
Company and one of its funniest come
dians. Is now a Major In the Officers
Reserve Corps. He has had wonderful
military experience in the United
States Army as a member of which
he fought in three wars the Cuban,
the Philippine and the Boxer Rebellion,
winning a medal of honor from the
French government because of his gal
lantry in the last named. Between
whiles he took a run down to South
frica and managed to butt into the
Soer war.
Jack Richardson, who soon makes
his first appearance on the Triangle
programme in the heavy part opposite
Louise Glaum, is one of the authentic
veterans of the silent drama.
lit is more than six years since Rich
ardson began his film career. Previous
to that he had played In musical com
edy and stock organizations.
It was his parents' wish that he
should enter the legal profession, but
Jack had become hopelessly enamored
of the footlights and answered the call
of art when a friend urged him to join
"The Royal Chef" company at the La
Salle Theater in Chicago.
Figuring his connections with other
companies and now with the Triangle
forces, Richardson has appeared In
about 325 pictures. In nearly every
play he has taken the heavy part and
has the reputation of having been
killed In the films more frequently
than any other villain in captivity. Not
long, ago Richardson won a valuable
diamond trophy in a contest held by
one of the magazines to decide the
screen's most popular heavy, polling
more than 900.000 votes.
Off the screen the new Triangle bad
man is the liveliest of companions and
never frowns except on a straight sal
ary basis.
iThere is at least one moving picture
Actress in 'America who thinks so well
of the opportunities offered to capable
talent by the work' before4 the camera
that she does not want to desert the
ecreen for the stage.
She ! Mae Marsh.
Miss Marsh is a screen actress, and
proud of it. She had her genesis as an
actress in a motion picture production
under the direction of D. W. Griffith,
and her rise as an artist in the silent
drama has been steady, sure and swift.
Now that she has reached the height of
a star at. the head of her own company
of players Miss Marsh does not look
frack and despise the path by which
she has risen. Rather, she reveres it.
She realizes, as few screen players do,
that the art of the motion picture is a
thing of its own. a separate art, as dis
tinct from that of the stage as is the
art of the journalist from the art of
the novelist.
Another "find" has been made in the
motion picture game by Mrs. Bessie
"VVharton, wife of Leopold D. Wharton.
To Mrs. Wharton is due the presence
of 1 5-year-old Louise Hotelling, of
Ithaca, in "The Great White Trail."
And to Miss Louise Hotelling. in her
turn, is due much of the sincerity and
actuality that portrays itself in the
search of George Ware for his wife
and his daughter, lost for 14 years.
Until the time "The Great White
Trail", began to make iU impression
upon the long rolls of film, Louise Ho
telling was a schoolgirl in Ithaca. She
never had faced a camera. A girl was
needed to play what seemed to be a
minor part. Mrs. Wharton produced
Louise.
The part grew. Louise grew' with
It but still, through that too close
viewpoint which sometimes hides good
work, the excellence of her acting did
not appear until the picture was ready
for its Xew York showing and the
fact became apparent that the name
of a prominent person In the cast had
been left from the list of characters,
that of Louise Hotelling.
Miss Hotelling is the 15-year-old
daughter of an Ithaca horseman, and is
to appear in further Wharton pictures.
CHARLIE CHAPLIX AT. STAR
"The Immigrant" Is to Feature Bill
Opening Today.
"The Immigrant, the latest Charlie
Chaplin comedy, with the king of
screen comedians in a two-reeler more
highly praised by private screening
critics than any Chaplin production in
months, will be the bife attraction at
the Star Theater today. With this will
be presented a two-reel detective yarn,
featuring Beatrice Fairfax and the
Screen Magazine.
"The Immigrant" is No. 11 of the
Mutual-Chaplin series, which means

' Portland's list of recent motion
picture visitors, which has in
cluded the names of Margarita
Fischer, Dorothy Dalton and
William S. Hart within the past
few weeks, is to be augmented
by the name of Myrtle Stedman,
who will appear in person at the
Peoples Theater for an engage
ment of three days, commencing:
next Sunday.
Miss Stedman Is a well-known
screen beauty, and before that
was prominent in musical com
edy, ligrht opera, stock and road
productions. She recently sev
ered her connection with Pallas
Jlorosco, after an engagement
extending from the first days of
the old Moroaco Company, and is
on a tour of the country pre
paratory to commencing studio
work with other interests.

consuming a trifle more than a year
of activity. Edna Purviance. his
beautiful leading woman, and Eric
Campbell, the big chap who always
mixes with the comedian In his screen
affairs, are In the cast.
"The Immigrant" cost more to pro
duce than any previous Chaplin com
edy, there being a larger company em
ployed and a far wider range of loca
tion. With his usual insistence on com
plete satisfaction with his work as a
preliminary to its release, Mr. Chaplin
made and remade the various scenes of
"The Immigrant" time after time,
passing on to the next episode only
after his final O. K. had been placed
on work completed. The result is a
play said to hold hilarious attention
throughout its progress and conveys
the unmistakable impression of Chap
lin at his best. Not less than 20.000
feet of film went into the construc
tion of the play, innumerable cuts and
retakes accounting for the heavy con
sumption of material.
"Wrist Watches" is the title of the
two-reel Pathe photoplay of smugglers,
fishermen, revenue officers, detectives
and a brainy feminine newspaper re
porter. Miss Fairfax plays the leading
role, her efforts foiling the smugglers,
obtaining the release of a revenue of
ficer, and the capture of smuggled
goods.

under the name of "Ktefanie."
"Forget-Me-Not" is the striking pho
toplay that marks the rettirn of Miss
Gordon, who in. private life is T.ady
Beresford, wife of a member of Eng
lish aristocracy,, to the silent drama
as a member of the World Film Cor
poration players.
The play deals with the remarkable
career of a Corsiran peasant girl who
marries a Marquis and rise to high
social heights. Her son marries into
a family and becomes estranged from
his mother. Upon his death she goes
to make her home, with the family into
which her son has .married, but she is
finally gotten rid of by the family in
a sensational manner.
Striking and rarely beautiful gowns
are worn by Kitty Gordon in this pro
duction. Every woman will be de
lighted and intensely interested in this
picture because of the smartness of the
styles and the beauty of the gowns.
Many of the scenes were filmed in
Cuba, the company making the trip
there especially for the purpose, and
these scenes are of exceptional beauty.

appeal.

Ormsby is only too glad to give.
He is there rescued by the very po

SUCCESS COXTIXCES
Harold Bell Wright's Greatest Story
Has Elaborate Production.
Made by the producers of the beauti
ful "Ramona," the elaborate production
of Harold Bell Wright's greatest story,
"The Eyes of the World," which opens
a second week's engagement at the
Heilig- Theater today, is the second big
achievement of W. H. Clune.
The Clune Company spends months
on each of its efforts where other pro
ducers spend days or weeks. Most mo
tion picture studios divide their ener
gies among a number of subjects and
turn them out with commercial haste.
One of the leading American companies
recently boasted that it had spent 30
days on a certain photoplay meaning
parts of days, because it had other
things in the "works." Another com
pany which perhaps better represents
the answer to the question, "What's
the matter with so many of the film
offering.?"bragged in print that it had
turned out a complete five-reel in six
days.
In the methods followed by the Clune
Company lies the hope of the photo
drama. In the signing of contracts,
