NEWS OF THE MOVIE THEATERS
(Continued From Page 6.)
of the fearful and terrible dancer that
has befallen her mother and sister. Un
protected, supplied with money but no
experience she starts by herself to
Europe to rescue and bring home her
dear ones. The adventures of this girl,
what she sees, the men she meets
and the plight in which she finds her
mother and sister form the story of
"The Unpardonable Sin."
A thread of humor is woven into the
story by two wee urchins, one of whom
is 'Skinnay," the little co-partner to
Glory with Hiss Pickford in "Daddy
Long-Legs." These two youngsters,
one of them a Belgian and the other
a sturdy American, find a congenial
bond in the fact that though their two
tongues are different they are both
loyal boy scouts.
" "The Unpardonable Sin" is undoubt
edly a great picture. No less an Ameri
can than the late Theodore Roosevelt
has said so and has asked the .Ameri
can people as a part of their duty to
see the production. The picture will
be shown throughout the week at the
Sunset.
Strand.
Kazimova, with every background
Imaginable, is the -star of "The Brat,"
which opened yesterday at the Strand
theater and simultaneously opened the
theater under new policies which will
change it from a vaudeville house to
a first-run cinema theater showin
some of the finest pictures procurable.
With the opening of "The Brat," the
new 25-piece orchestra made its debut
to Portland motion picture fans. Ln
der the leadership of Phillip Pelz, the
orchestra was received last night with
remarkable enthusiasm following the
feature selections and the accompani
ment to the picture. It will remain at
the Strand as a regular feature. "The
Brat" will show at the Strand a week
instead of the programme being
changed on Wednesday as under the
old policy.
A change in the very theater itself
was noticed by patrons who attended
yesterday's opening. New draperies,
mulberry t--oughout the lower loges.
were in evidence. About 100 loges
have been installed and an incline
from Washington street to the mez
zanine floor were among the improve
ments. "The Brat" is the story of . a half
starved child of the gutter, who, by
some accident of fate was transported
from the cheap musical comedy chorus
. in which she was appearing to a home
of wealth and true refinement.
In her study of the strange little
street waif, Nazimova runs the entire
range of the emotions. Never has she
had a role that calls for so amazing
a display of her powers of mimicry,
facial expression and pantomime. "The
Jirat" is a creature of moods as variable
as April zephyrs as fleeting as sun
beams dancing err a bubble. And no
more admirable impersonation than
this could be found ror Nazimova, "the
star of a thousand' moods," in her
newest picture.
Circle.
Douglas Fairbanks makes his re
appearance as "Old Doc Cheerful" in
"The Knickedbocker Buckaroo," which
will be shown , at the Circle theater
today and tomorrow.
Douglas plays the part of Teddy
Drake, wealthy New Yorker, who de
cides that his life is all wrong because
of his selfish qualities, and starts out
to do unselfish things in the world,
which gets him into a series of amus
ingly complicated situations laid in the
west.
Fairbanks was the first to introduce
constructive philosophy via the screen
route. He has taught millions the way
to laugh, because of an intelligent un
derstanding of certain conditions of
life. His latest picture deals with one
of life's biggest evils, that of selfish
ness: We are selfish because we don't
realize that happiness only comes from
doing things, for others. With this
thought as a basic reason for "The
Knickerbocker Buckaroo," a distinc
tive story was developed by the Fair
banks scenario staff, which includes
Klton Banks, Joseph Henaberry, Frank
Condon, Ted Heed and Director Albert
Parker.
The play opens in a fashionable New
York clubj where a statue of Darwin,
the philosopher. costars with the
screen hero, making possible some in
teresting athletic action, when Doug
in his conversation concludes "Per
haps Darwin was right."
It is said that the new Fairbanks
story, because of its simple treatment,
is his most brilliant film.

published by Waterson. Berlin & Sny
der, has proven a great success in the
various houses where it has already
been played, notably in the Kivoli and
Strand theaters in New York City. Both
Dr. Hugo and Riesenfeld pf the Kivoli
and Carl Kdouarde of the Strand thought
so highly of It that it was given a
prominent position in the medley of
music arranged to accompany the ani

Jim Flynn. the famous heavyweight
boxer who has fought rearly every big
pugilistic star now before the public,
has become an actor. His former
trainer. "Abdul the Turk," is now ath
letic trainer for Mack Sennett. Where
fore Abdul persuaded his old pal and
idol to take up the pictures as a new
Job. The studio, with due respect to
Flynn's manhandling record, is nerv
ously waiting for the time when he ap
pears for the first time in a mob scene.
Thus far his one part has been that of
a bolshevik gent with bushy whiskers
to his intense disgust.
Louise Fazenda has a superstition in
favor of things that are sweet. Like
most of the little Sennett girls, she
saves her money and invests it with
care and discrimination. Louise finds
that she always wins on sugar stock.
No gambling on margins. She buys the
stock outright and draws the dividenus.
A treat is in store for followers of
the terpslchorean art when they see
the picture, "John Petticoats," starring
Bill Hart. In this picture Mr. Hart

THE building of the immense studio
of the Famous Players-Lasky cor
poration on Long Island will result in
the establishing of a high-class movie
colony, similar to that of Los Angeles,
Culver City and Hollywood, according
to local real estate men. Dealers in
Long Island land are already flooding
the studio of the corporation in this
city, telling of the many advantages
offered by Long Island, pointing out
that the movie folk will be near the
studio, thus saving valuable time lost
in transit.
The plant will be finished about the
middle of February, 1920.
