A lively time, but not at all too lively
tor him, he says, is the sort of a time
James J. Corbett. one-time world
champion prizefighter, is having at
Vniversal City. In other words, Cor
bett is appearing in a serial. He is
billed for more scraps per square inch
or film than anybody that has ever
worked in pictures. These scraps, he
.vers, merely freshen him up and do
him good. And he rays his only trou
ble is to get the actors to hit out at
him.
"I want to put a little science Into
these scraps." eald Corbett the other
day. "hut the trouble ia 1 can't con
vince those actors that no matter how
fast tney hit I can duck still faster.
We have to rehearse the scraps over
and over again.
"Slums? Oh. yea, a run est or era.
I'm scheduled tomorrow to leap from
at motorcycle into a boxcar, where I
have a scrap with some tramps. They
toss me out of the moving car over a
bridge into the water. And after that's
done, my director promises me some
really thrilling stunts'"
James Home, who is directing Cor
bett. used to be a playmate of the for
mer champion in boyhood days in San
'rancico. Jimmie Home always used
to bet the best of the scraps, but
whereas be turned into nothing more
dangerous than a picture dirextor, Cor
bett. probably spurred by failure, went
a and became a world champion.
Griffith Dlaeevers Xfw Stare.
The name of D. W. Griffith's new
propaganda picture is "The Girl Who
Stayed at Home." It has two recent
discoveries of Griffith's as its feminine
stars, the lovely Ciarine Seymour, for
merly with Christie comedies, and
Carol Dempster, remembered as a solo
dsncer wt:h Ruth St Denis' touring
company. Robert Harron and Richard
Bartbelmass play the masculine leads.
The manner In which Griffith discov
ered Miss Dempster ia interesting. She
waa one of the many dancers used in
the Babylonian episode of "Intoler
ance." hired from the tit. Denis school
Afterward she went on tour with Miss
St. Denis, and forgot all about her pic
ture experiences. Then came a period
of inaction, and she visited the-varlons
BiuUiufl. Oca day. aha annealed at U
Griffith studio, and the director noted
her. Finally he came over to where
he was sitting and asked her if she
had not been playing in pictures. "Only
Intolerance answered Miss Demp
ster. . "Well. I'd like to give you a
test." said Griffith. And the test re
vealing the young woman to be very
lovelg. on the screen as well as off, she
was at once engaged to appear in the
propaganda picture.
Praise for Gatersoa.
Of Mischa Guterson, Russian orchi
tra leader who will direct an orchestra
for the musical interpretation of
"Mickey" during the Engagement of
that picture at the Peoples theater, a
critic-friend writes:
Mfscha Guterson. director and solo-vlolin-lat
of the famous Guterson's Russian Orches
tra, is an animated vi,lnlat with marvel
ously Intimate manner and expression. Be
studied under Schefzick at Kiev. Russia, the
teacher of Kubellk. At 7 years of age his
remarkable talents attrsrted such wide at
tention that be waa called to court to play.
Fifteen years ago he was called to arms
to fight against Japan. He received the
summons In stony silence. When he did
speak it was to refuse to go. "No, I will
not flh'ht for a country that 1 hate! 1 will
not kill to force this oppression, that has
crushed my life, upon another people.
Mirtcha stole from his father's house and
went to -America. Soon he became an at

LIUEETr PLAY ATTRACTIVE
"Don't Change Tour Husband"
Commences Today.
Onions, recommended as a staple
article of diet, may disrupt a home.
This Is proved in Cecil B. DeMille's
new Artcraft photoplay special, "Don't

Wurlitzer organ. An especially elabo
rate programme has been prepared for
the public Mr. Murtagh will present
special organ numbers during the en
tire engagement of the De Mille pro
duction.
The eating of onions, careless per
sonal habits such as placing dirty feet
on sofa pillows, spilling ashes all over
the floor, permitting moustache to get
straggly, unbuttoning vest for greater
comfort, coupled with failure to pay
the attentions of honeymoon days to
his wife resulted in divorce and sepa
ration In the De Mille feature.
Whereas "Old Wives for'New." pic
tured the slovenly wife, this time the
producer turns his guns on the man,
utilizes the divorce court, weds wifey
to another, and finally brings the man
and woman of the first marriage back
together again, the woman chastened
by her experience, and the man a re
formed Individual.
Elliott Dexter Is the onlon-eatlng

interest in his work. When Mrs. Alio
way goes too far in her designs Kitty
concocts a clever retaliatory plan of
her own, covers the widow with con
fusion and wins her husband back In
hurry. The theme of the neglected wife
and the other woman is old, but the
handling of it in this picture is new.
Miss Taimadge's charm, vivacity,
beauty and comedy talents investing
the picture with certain appeal.
Mr. Tucker plays the role of Harry

3IICKET" COMES TO PEOPLES
Widely-Heralded Mack Sennett Com
edy Drama Is Here.
Wltji Mischa Gnterson, famous Rus
sian musician, directing a big orches
tra, "Mickey," the widely-heralded
Mack Sennett comedy-drama, made its
Portland premiere at the Peoples the
ater yesterday.
The public has waited for two years
for "Mickey," but it's a picture worth
waiting for. Furthermore. It's one that
will live for years. "Mickey" achieved
fame and notoriety because of the
many wild rumors surrounding its pro
duction, chief among therrr being that
its making forced Mack Sennett into
bankruptcy, and because of the long
period that elapsed between completion
and its launching as a theatrical at
traction. ;.
There's a fist fight jn the "comedy
that vies with anything of the kind of
fered in films, and quite the most thrill
ing horse race the screen has present
ed. These two "punches" would fea
ture an ordinary picture, irrespective
of the vealth of good things which
make for a pleasurable evening.:.
As the prankful, tomboy girl ot the
mining town, the pampered child in a
home of wealth, in which the. .aunt
treats her with the respect due the
owner of a gold mine, and then as a
servant in the same home because the
mine proves worthless, Mabel Nor
mand is ever delightful. She wears
rags, smart gowns and bathing regalia,
fairly -scintillating through the seven
reels of a picture that truly earns for
her that advertising slogan, "the little
girl you will never forget."
Wheeler Oakman, Lewis Cody, MInta
Durfee, George Nichols and Minnie Ha
Ha, the old Indian who has been in so
many pictures, are other members of
the cast.
