leteen theaters are running
full blast with, no prospect of let
ting up for the Summerl This Is an
unusual .record for Summer along
Broadway, where In very recent years
It was the custom to have a "closed
season" from Memorial Day to Labor
Day. Due partly to the good weather
and to the Increased railroad rates,
which have kept more people in town
than ever before, this out of tha ordi
nary year may lay the foundation of
vacationless theaters for years to come.
Dressed In their Summer coverings of
dainty chintz and cooled by myriads of
fans, the theaters are often more com
fortable than the crowded resorts. It
Is thus that tha managers will aim to
keep them this year.
Theee nineteen do not Include the
motion picture houses or the large
theaters where such pictures as "Hearts
of the World" or "Stolen Orders" are
being shown simply the first-class
two-dollar houses. Three shows are
still here which opened last August.
On the 16th of next month, "Maytime"
will celebrate its anniversary; on Aug
ust 22d, "Eyes" of Youth" and "A
Tailor-Made Man" on the 27th all have
been successes from the day they
opened and a seoond company played
"Maytime" for more than six months
In Chicago. Twelve musloal shows,
four dramas "Tiger Rose" (the fourth
longest run In town), "The Man Who
Btayed at Home." "Getting Together1
(both war dramas), and "Eyes of
Youth," and three straight comedies,
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," "Seven-
teen"-and "A Tallor-Made Man." More
over, besides the New Winter Garden
Show which opens within the month,
there Is a possibility that other man
agers may take advantage of the open
season and bring their new . plays to
town before August as originally
planned.
Marjorie Rambeau's many Portland
friends will be Interested In her plans
for the coming season. Contrary to
expectations, she will not continue with
"Eyes of Youth" next season and other
cities will see another actress, possibly
Miss Jane Orey. who played the role
while Miss Rambeau was out of the
cast. Miss Rambeau Is to be starred
by Mr. Woods in a new play which
Rot Megrue Cooper has Just finished.
William Courtney was to have played
the prinoipal male role, but as Miss
Rambean is to be starred, he could not
of course play second fiddle. Pedro -de
Cordoba, who played opposite her In
"Sadie Love," in which Miss Rambeau
made her New York debut, will be
her leading man.
Mr. de Cordoba Is at present support
ing Willard Mack and Leonora Ulrio
In "Tiger Rose." Mr. Cooper, it will
be recalled, wrote "Under Fire," "Un
der Cover," "Under Sentenoe," (which
did not duplicate the success of the
other two), and "It Paye to Advertise."
The new play is as yet unnamed. Lewis

"Getting Together") and Will Deming,
who has many friends on the Coast, I presented within the next month at the

It Is said that David Warfield may
also be seen In a war play written
by Max Marcln. It is on the order of
Lionel Baiyymore's play, "The Copper
bead" (which was written originally
for Mr. Warfield), bnt has a Jump of
over ES years in the time, the hero
being shown first as a boy of sixteen,
then at past seventy. Unlike "The
Copperhead," the other characters in
the play do not grow older, but are
changed with the passing of time. It
is called "The Flag Goes By," and said
to be very dramatic. Friends of Mr.
Warfield who enjoyed his artistic., per
formance in "The Grand Army Man"

"The Claws of tbe Hun" Shown at
Liberty Theater Today.
When It becomes necessary for a
red-blooded young man to refrain from
enlisting because he believes that
course will kill his mother, and Is
called a slacker by his friends, an in
teresting problem arises. How the
riddle Is solved by one young man, son
af a wealthy ammunition manufactur
er, is revealed in "The Claws of the
Hun," the newest Charles Ray picture,
which will be shown today at the Lib
erty Theater.
It is in this respect that Ray's new
photoplay teaches splendid lessons in
patriotism to the mothers of this
country. When John Stanton sought
to enlist at the outbreak of the war,
his mother, who was seriously ill, op
posed that course bitterly, and she
finally convinced her son that his en
listment Inevitably would kill her. To
save her life, as he thought, he re
fuses to enlist and his friends who did
not understand called him a slacker.
But John Stanton was not a slacker.
as subsequent events 'proved. It Is
because of this situation that he is
able to frustrate the plottlngs of se
cret Hun agents and ultimately by his
conduct win tha consent of his mother
to go "over there."
The photoplay is filled with strong
dramatic action, and many of the sit
uations are exceedingly thrilling. . Mr.
Ray is excellently supported by capa
ble players, chief among them being
Jane Novak, leading woman in many
of William S. Hart's photoplays. Rob

Melbourne MacDowell, a veteran actor
of skill and wide experience.

Louise Huff is featured In "Sandy.'
based on one of the "best sellers" sev
eral seasons ago.
It has to do with the fortunes of a
young Scotch emigrant who stows him
self away in the hold of a steamship
and comes to this country. He meets
a dainty blue grass belle on shipboard
and later follows her to Kentucky. She
has a dissipated brother who causes a
lot of trouble and Sandy, cast into
new and loftier environment, develops
manly traits which enable him to fight
his own battles successfully and ulti
mately to win the girl his heart h
chosen for his mate.
The photoplay is filled with thrills
and abundant comedy, and on the whole
maintains a high standard of artistic
excellence. The cast Is a notable one
and conspicuous among the support
other than Louise Huff are Raymond
Hatton and James reill. both screen
players of the highest repute.
A Billy Parsons comedy, "The Wld

Although the settings are terrific.
"Hearts of the World" is in reality
love story. Griffith has seen fit to

destroyed by the world conflict rather
than war itself. Even at that there Is
brought home Just what it means to be
driven from home and country by the

Los Angeles had to have 10 weeks of
