THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 12, 1917. 5 "EMBITTERED LOVE" REACHES THRILLING STAGE IN STORY Norwood, Who Has True and Unselfish Love for Margaret, After Succeed ing in Restoring Valuable Papers, Has Hairbreadth Escape. eJa I J- 'Z - rfafP t l","ll""h",t",';'''"' ''1l,'lr'1rilf' jMll''y-y- : 1 1 -( iiM i VK nmti. tew "Embittered Love" Is the title of the 32th episode of Pathe' s serial, "The Neglected Wife," based upon Mabel Herbert Urner's famous books, "The Journal of a Neglected Wife" and "The Woman Alone." In the last episode Mary, the wife of Kennedy, warned Margaret Warner that she must give up her husband. Margaret made an honest effort to do io, but Kennedy overcame the girl's re solve. Norwoood, who has a true and unselfish love for Margaret, aided her In recovering valuable papers from Doyle. Struck on the head, he was left In the burning house, in which they had sur prised Doyle and his henchmen. Mar garet returns with a patrolman, who, after a desperate fight with the flames, finally carries out the unconscious body of Norwood. Doyle, thinking that Nor wood is safely out of the way, begins a. new plot to avenge himself upon Kennedy. Mary receives another note from the veiled woman while eating breakfast. Kennedy demands to see It. She re fuses. Forcing it from her hands, he reads: "Your husband visited the other woman's apartment this afternoon. He member he ruined my life and I am go ing to punish him." "Who is this NEWS OF THE PHOTO THEATERS CONTINUED FROM PAGES 4.) Marchioness and three hoydenish girls if they left any antics undone, any pranks unaccompanied, it certainly was not their fault. But when it came to one of their number in London dig nified, conservative London well, the results are startling, to say the least. As the tomboy sister who escapes her jailers in London and parades through the streets in a hansom, wind ing up at the "liveliest music hall in town," dainty little Marguerite Clark holds the record. In gleaming silk hat and natty dress suit she valiantly fights her way through several adventures, knocks down a hectoring bully, and, thanks to her scientific training, manages to es cape unhurt. How she is rescued, by Lord Lltterly, catch of the season; how she escapes from him and rushes back to her scan dalized relatives and the romantic end ing of her rash adventure, is told in "The Amazons," her latest Paramount Picture, directed by the talented Joseph Kaufman, and photographed by Will iam Marshall. Film Flickers. Mary Thurman. the beautiful titlan of Keystonia, whose athletic prowess has not been hidden under a bushel by the Sennett intlligence bureau, was the heroine of a recent tale regarding some of the athletic records she made while a student at Vassar. Most beau tiful actresses of screenland are grad uates of that . feminine Institution of learning, if all press agents are to be believed. But that's another story. A Keystone director was reading one of these stories-recently and upon com pleting it cast it aside with a digusted grimace. "A lotta bunk. Mary," he declaimed with the air of one who could not be fooled. "I'll bet that not even any of the fellows at Vassar could make such records." Famous Flayers-Lasky has bought David Graham Phillips,' story, "The Hungry Heart." for picturization with Pauline Frederick as star. Richard Stanton is now director for George Walsh. They say that Paul Powell, director for Walsh when he made the trip to Portland, quit before "The Yankee Way" was completed. - Dorothy Dalton has quit Triangle, joined Thomas H. Ince and will' make height pictures a year for the Para b mount programme. r The report is out that German agents are trying to buy up all old film in the country to make high explosives, so Government officials have requested all producers and distributors in the country to sell no old film until the war is ended. Mabel Normand and Goldwyn have settled their differences, one report having it that the comedienne is to re ceive as much as 12500 a week and she is expected to commence work within a week. Another pun: Mary Miles Minter Is the despair of her mother with her mischievous pranks. Since a tot Mary has had a passion for the water, whether it be the ocean or merely a well-filled porcelain tub. One morning recently Mary disap peared. Her mother, Mrs. Shelby, in vestigated and found her daughter ensconced in a bathtub full of water busily studying her English lesson. When Mrs. Shelby attempted to take the book, the young star with a. mis chievous twinkle in her eye said, "Please don't, mother, I want this les son to soak in." Katherine Hilleker, whose work In the scenario department at the uni versal has made her a literary Colum bus, han made a new discovery. She has found a butcher who writes scenarios. And the unusual angle to the story Is that he sells them. Olive Thomas, Triangle star, has ambitions to become a playwright a: d made her first move in that direction by. collaborates with. Director veiled woman? Someone you have ruined?" Mary asks him. Kennedy tells Mary that he does not know any thing about this mysterious woman. Margaret accompanies Norwood home and after she has bathed his bead he gradually gains strength. He learns that the "papers" he had helped her recover were In reality letters from Kennedy. "Do you mean to say I was aiding Kennedy by recovering those papers?" he asks. Margaret, fearful, slowly nods her head. Norwood tells Margaret that he will not forget that she has tricked him. Mary visits Margaret and tells her that she will have to give up her hus band or she will have her ejected as an immoral person. Mary gives Marga ret four hours in which to leave town. Margaret, really a good girl, writes Kennedy that she Is going out of his life and that she does not wish to see him again. He phones Margaret, but discovers that she has gone, leaving no address. Kennedy Is followed by the veiled woman to his office and, with knife drawn, she attempts to end his life. Struggling, Kennedy overpowers her. Seeing that she will be caught, she es capes. Who Is this mysterious woman? Reynolds on . a new screen play, in which she shortly will be starred. ' Cuddles, who has become a favorite all over the country with Keith The ater patrons in the East and Orpheum Theater patrons in the West and South as one of the Gus Edwards star kid dies, is about to go. before the camera. Mr. Edwards diScovered Cuddles more than eight years ago, when she was a "toddler." He has just signed a con tract with a film corporation to star Cuddles in a new moving picture idea conceived by Mr. Edwards himself. "Bab's Burglar," the first "sub-deb" story by Mary Roberts Rinehart, In which Marguerite Clark portrays the character of the 17-year-old school girl, has been completed and Is now being made ready for release by Para mount some time In September. Triangle Director Walter Edwards Is authority for the statement that the next play starring Louise Glaum will be an absolutely unparalleled and unique vampire creation. It is to have the Egyptian settings the swirling in cense and all the Sybaritic touches of a siren's lair, but and Edwards em phasizes this point there is not a single tiger skin in all of the 176 scenes taken within the vampire's habitat! Inharmonious pianists and ragtime organists have exhausted Gladys Brock well's patience. Henceforth, Is she has her own way and enough time to carry it out, she is going to write a special musical score to be used with each of the productions in which she stars for William Fox. A.recent visit to a neigh borhood cinema theater caused Miss Brockwell's resolution. George Ovey. known around the world as Jerry, the funny man of David Horsley Cub Comedies, is convalescing from an accident of several days ago, when he broke his left arm In a "stunt" jump. His Injury will prevent the filming of a particularly boisterous comedy mapped out for him for this week, but full value will be injected In a new story now being written by Director Fehrney that may revolve around the broken "wing." Probably the weariest and sorest man In the State of California was Charles Gerrard, of the Fairbanks-Artcraft Company, producing "Down to Earth," after he had emerged from a 15-minute catch-as-can battle with the athletic Douglas, which was one of the last scenes photographed in the new Fair banks picture, scheduled for release August 12. Gerrard Is an Englishman, somewhat lighter than Fairbanks, but a very fair athlete, due to some years of cricket, football, rowing and other vigorous pas times in his college days. Bennle Suslow, the Juvenile actor, formerly at Universal City, has been cast In the current Geraldine Farrar production of the Lasky studios. Vitagraph has completed eight one- reel pictures starring the youthful Bobby Connelly. In a new Metro feature Mabel Talia ferro is forced to swim the rapids of the St. Lawrence River. They say that no double was used. . Adolphe Menjou, who appeared re cently in support of Marguerite Clark in the screen. adaptation of "The Ama zons," has joined the American Ambu lance Corps, Cornell Unit No. 90, and expects to sail for France in a very short time. George Fisher, leading man for Mary Miles Minter in the latter's picture se ries, was requested by 'William Russell for a big role in Mr. Russell's "Sea Cap tain" story, now under Ted Sloman's direction. Mary PIckford, having just completed her next picture, "Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm," Is enjoying a brief vaca tion, much of which, is being spent in the surf. Meanwhile Frances Marlon, who writes her scenarios, and Marshall Neilan, her director, are at work on the preliminaries of the next Pickford-Art-craft release. Mary Anderson's husband, Pliny Goodfriend, owned one of the early numbers called by the Government, and Mary is concerned now with moving into a bungalow near the Hollywood Vitagraph studio, where she and her five prize-winning Airedales can live the secluded, simple and unafraid life. With the protection of five dogs, sure ly Mary should not be afraid in even the remotest of remote dwelling places. Lieutenant Victor de Linsky, one time of the Imperial Russian Cavalry, will play a part in "The Food Gamblers." Lieutenant de Linsky was for six years an officer in the cavalry, fought in the Russo-Japanese war, and after being wounded In the hand, he was dis charged with the gold and silver crows of the order of St. George. Claire Alexander, who has been playing in comedies for some time past, has forsaken the custard pie drama for the real honest-to-goodness kind . of photoplays. She will play a leading role In "The Child of M'sieur," In which Baby Marie Osborne will-be starred. . J. Warren Kerrigan has about de cided that any fortune he amasses will be through his ability as an actor and not as a crap shooter. In a lull In the battle scenes which are being filmed for "A Man's Man," his first Paralta play, he rolled the bones with a group of Mexicans and when the star gpt through the "extras" had a considerable percentage of his week's earnings. Gall Kane, the American film star, will appear shortly in a role new to American actresses, a role created by the war, that of commltteewoman of National food conservation. As a mem ber of the reoently-appointed women's committee of the National Association of the Motion Picture Industry she, in company with Mary Pickford, Marguer ite Clark, Ethel Barrymore and other famous stars, will co-operae with the Federal Food Commission to save the American people and the entente allies from possible food shortage. Bull Montana, the Italian wrestler- fighter-trainer-actor, who made his screen debut with Douglas Fairbanks in In Again Out Again." and who has a more prominent role in the new Fair banks picture, "Down to Earth," favors a light diet for Summer. For Instance, his usual hot weather breakfast, as vouched for by the cook at the Art craft studios, consists of three sliced lemons, cucumbers, berries and cream, a large steak, loaf of French bread, celery, asparagus and a double pot of coffee. Montana has, notified Fair banks that when cool weather begins to come on he will want regular eats three times a day. as he is a strong man and needs nourishment. Aileen Allen, who has attracted much attention for her diving stunts In Key stone comedies, has left Los Angeles for Oakland, Cal.. to compete In a contest to be held in that city. Returning from there she will go to Camp Curry in loaemlte Park, to engage in another aquatic contest. Later on she expects to take part in the competition for the Natioral high diving championship to be held in Chicago. According to the Keystone publicity department Miss Al len holds the fancy diving champion ship of the United States and the Pa cific Coast championship for high and fancy diving for women. Out on La Mesa (the foothills) of Santa Barbara is a ranch known as the ranch of the three hills.

Around the quaint old Spanish adobe house the roses and yellow California poppies are rioting all over the place, doing homage to their new mistress, Mary Miles Minter. Paul Willis is 17 and embarrassed. The latter condition results not from the former, but from the fact that the TX B-IGII'O BROS. ZOO. circus is coming! What pictures the imaginative youngster paints from those four words, and what youngster is without imagination! Is there "a small boy in this city who can read those words and not feel a thrill of joyful anticipation, who does not con. jure" up visions of glittering pageants. wild and ferocious beasts glaring from their cages, beautiful horses and still more beautiful riders, ludicrous clowns and shrill calliopes? Yes, and more than that. The older people are not exempt from thrills. Mr. and Mrs. Grownup are looking forward to circus day with just as much enthusiasm as the little "Grownups." But cheer up, children. Ringling Brothers' circus and their big menag erie, containing aark-yarks, ibexes. rhinoceri, hippopotami, emus, horned horses, civet cats, bears, monkeys, water boks, ant-eaters, porcupines, zebras and half the elephants in Amer ica will be here Monday, August 27, at Twenty-fifth and Raleigh streets. The zoo nursery is a prominent fea ture this year. The favorites are "Duke" and "Daisy," two lion cubs. These youngsters are as playful as kit tens and perfectly harmless, and fur nish much amusement to the visitors, while their proud and ferocious parents are forced to occupy a position as spec tators behind, the casa bars. 1 I I " A ( majority of his fan letters present the disturbing question: "Have you ever had any real love affair?" Paul Is truth ful in admitting that he never did, but is hesitant in acknowledging this fact to the public,, wondering if, after all. he oughtn't to bavo a conquest or two to boast about. - Probably no player In all filmdom stands higher in the esteem of every member of the company associated with her than June Caprice, the sun shine maid of the William Fox produc tions. Miss Caprice's constant cheer fulness and good spirit on the screen are only & reflection of her genial na ture. The result is that from "props to director there is no one who does not Idolize the little star. Anna Luther has become a tennis fiend, since it is popular to be a fiend about something or other these days. Her fiendishness In this direction has led her to annex a tennis court to her Hollywood home and, having won sweeping victories from all her tennis playing friends, is almost ready to challenge May Sutton-Bundy to a match. Anna has been accused of go ing in for tennis so strong because the popular tennis styles become her and her red hair so well.

" Mile of Track Frcqncntly la' Laid la Day la Face of Bombardmeat by Germans. BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE. July 15. (Correspondence.) Americans and Canadians from the northwestern part of the American con tinent men who have played an im portant part in the railway building out around the Rockies, are to be found among the men in khaki, laying rails right up to the fighting front along the British lines in France. Here and there is a man who has worked on the New Haven or the Boston & Maine railroads, 'out the vast majority came from the great Western part of the United States and Canada. There Is one whole battalion from the Canadian Pacific Railroad now at work on the British front. It was or ganized by Lord Shaughnessy. In charge of this and other battalions is a brigadier-general, a widely known contractor from British Columbia, whose motto is, "See everything, hear everything but keep your mouth shut." It is the popular impression that only light, narrow-gauge railways are run up close to the battlefront. But this is soon removed by a visit to the front where one is surprised to see broad gauge railway, miles and miles of it, running right up to the big guns. This broad-gauge railway Is laid close on the heels of the German retreat. Be side It can be seen much of the Ger man narrow gauge railway, which was picked up in sections by the British en gineers and thrown to one side to make room for the broader gauge line. The engineers make their appearance within a few hours of a fresh British advance. The men have to wear steel helmets and keep their gas masks handy, so close are they to danger from bombardment by the German heavies or from bombs dropped by a stray German aeroplane. In fact so close to the actual fighting front are these lines that most of the really ad vanced work has to be done under cover of darkness. Following up the British advance the railway men find bridges blown away, roads obliterated and occasional traps left by the enemy. Heavily armored locomotives haul up the. material. The right of way ahead is cleared, the huge craters made by German explosives filled, fresh bridges thrown across the gap and in an incredibly short time here is a new route ready to hand over to the railway operating department To lay a mile a day of this broad- CLE "The Big Heme Movie" Foorta at Waablagton.

"Our best sustained record." said the Colonel in charge of one gang, "is 4 miles In five days. We have Just finished one stretch of line. We had first to build a bridge 140 feet long. That was started Friday and finished Tuesday. Then we had to clear th road beyond, which was littered with German ties, torn rails and other ma terial. We started at 6 Tuesday and had finished laying the line by Wednes day midnight. We had 600 men clear ing the road and 150 actually laying the rails. "Twenty-two miles of light railway were put in the new territory at the Ancre River fight." These railway men do not even use cement in building the foundation for their bridges. Strong timber flung across Is the only support. "No waiting for cement parapets here. said the Colonel. "We build the line as they build a pioneer line in the West." PLEA MADE FOR CLEAN WAR Carl Vrooman Says Spirit of Herolo Self-Sacrifice Is Needed. WASHINGTON, July 25. An appeal to the business world "to make the conduct of this war as clean and patri otic, as heroic and self-sacrificing at home as it Is in the trenches of France and Flanders" was issued recently by Carl Vrooman, assistant Secretary of Agriculture. "Never before have the business men of a Nation shown as much patriotism as they have shown in the United. States during the last three months." said Mr. Vrooman in a formal state ment. "Unfortunately, however, there have been exceptions to this rule. Only recently we have seen the Secretary of the Navy and the chairman of the Ship ping Board forced into the arena in a hand-to-hand struggle with an organ ization of unpatriotic, selfish, sodden steel magnates. "If an army of civilian patriots be not organized to stand behind the President and tight this great fight for business honor, while our boys in khaki are fighting and dying triumph antly in the trenches, the country will be disgraced at home by a despicable scramble for, illegitimate war profits on steel and coal, or munitions and food.
