THE Portland motion picture the aters this week are offering exceptional photoplays and ad ditional novel attractions. Gus Metzg-er, general manager of the Rivoli, is offering as his chief picture attraction "The Cup of Life," which has an exceptionaLcast. In addition to this feature he has booked one of the biggest novelty acts of the season in the person of Edna Wallace Hopper, who' was a famous Belasco star in the days of grandmother and grandfather, and who today presents the appearance of a young woman of 23 years, de spite the fact tTtat she 1 really 63 years of age, a marvel of rejuvena tion and preservation. At the Ri voli she will tell how it was done and is being maintained. Her face was operated on, virtually having been lifted, by what is known as plastic surgery. Her physical con dition, with her tremendous pep and vitality, she attributes to the right mental attitude toward life. , Manager Noble, ot" the Liberty the ater, will present, in conjunction with the feature picture, "Rich Men's Wives," in which Claire Wind sor and House Peters are co-starred, a nifty fashion revue which, in addi tion to the sartorial display, will contain some snappy numbers and dances. Manager Raleigh, of the Colum bia, has an exceptional offering in "The Old Homestead." which serves as the initial starring vehicle for the "grand old man of the screen." Theodore Roberts, and rn which he is capably supported by the versatile T. Roy Barnes. Fred Teufel, manager of the Blue Mouse theater, has one of the best offerings he has presented in a long tlm in "Silver Wings," in which the adorable mother of the screen, Mary Carr, Is the underscored player. This is not a "sob", picture by any means. It Is tremendously interesting en tertainment. Frank Laoey, manager of the Ma jestic, has a snappy comedy offering In "Gas, Oil and Water," in wtiictt Charles Ray is featured. This is about the nierriest vehicle in which the popular star has been seen. a Art Acord, who barely escaped with his life in an automobile acci dent three months ago, has recu perated and now is back at Univer sal City ready to start work on his next picture.' which is to be "The Trail Blazers." a chapter picture built around the thrills and adven tures of Marcus Whitman's conquest of Oregon and the events ; of the biasing of the Oregon trail. "The Tail Blazers" is another of Univer sale ureal "thrills from American history" serials. The first two, "Winners of the West" and "In the Days of Buffalo Bill," have met with extraordinary- ' success . ' on every screen. Acord .started by auto for his Ne vada ranch after he finished -work on "In the Days of Buffalo Bill." He collided with a gravel truck along the route and ended up in a hospital with a broken leg, a fractured skull, .and many cuts and bruises. Little chance was held out" for. his recov ery. Excellent medical attention pulled him through, however. The romantic episodes of pioneer ing along the Oregon trail and else where in the northwest ' will ' give thrills and Interest to "The Trail Blazers." Robert Dillon wrote the story, adapting it from American history, and the printed reminis cences of the various northwestern frontiersmen. It will demand of Acord the vigorous action, the hard riding and the fearless chance tak ing that featured his work in "Win ners of the West" and "In the Days of Buffalo Bill." Clarence Burton, who has played nothing but villainous roles in mo tion pictures, has been cast for his first sympathetic part in the War ner brothers' screen version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "The Beau tiful and Damned." Walter Long will be the "dirty guy" in the film. Two big towns are being built at the Warner brothers' west coast studios for two' of their forthcom ing 'pictures. . A mining town, is being erected , for "Little . Church Around the Corner," adapted bs Olga Printzlau from the stage play written by Marion Russell, and right next door will be the far-famed town which Sinclair Lewjs describes in his novel, "Main Street." . David Torrence, the popular char acter actor, has signed a contract which places him in the ranks of au thors for the nonce at least. He is going to write a series of Scotch an ecdotes for an eastern newspaper syndicate. Mr. Torrence is famous for his ability to present the humor of Scotch life at banquets and this has led to the offer he has accepted. Meanwhile he will also start in a new picture soon. So It will be the busy signal any time one tries to get him for a while. Sid Smith, the comedian of "Hall Room Boy" fame, denies he is playing in a musical comedy entitled "The New Hell," now touring southern California cities and strongly ad vertising a Sis Smith as the star. S,id declares he has no desire to be connected in any way with "The Liberty Claire Windsor in "Rich Men's Wives." Also the Fashion Revue. .
