TODAY'S FILM FEATURES.
BY HAMILTON WAYNE.
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

jestic, has a snappy comedy offering

the popular star has been seen.

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.
