WITH two handsome new motion
picture theatres due to open
within a fortnight there is a
. great big stir in affairs of the
'i - screen. Every energy Is being
expended to have the Rational, at Park
and Stark, open its doors on or about
the twenty-first of this month. It is
certain that the new American, at First
-and Main streets, will be ready for
the public on Saturday, the seven
teenth. The American is the third and
latest theatre to be opened by what
Is now known as the Portland Amuse
ment company with A. L. Levy as its
president. I. Leeser Cohen as Its secre
tary and H. C. Stevens as its treasurer.
The American is designed to be a
family theatre and will cater to such
a patronage In the careful selection of
its shows. In addition to the .pictures
It will offer one vaudeville act. The
house will seat 800 and will be finished
in old rose and ivory. The exterior is
effectively done in white stucco and
ornamental plaster. The Casino, at
Fourth and Burnslde, and the Globe on
upper Washington, are the other two
theatres under the management of the
new company, which incorporated
week ago. The immediate effec on
the Globe is a dally change of pro
gram and a five cent admission.
I. LCeser Cohen, who has selected the
pictures for the Globe In the past, will
continue to select them and for the
two other houses as well. Time was
when the licensed pictures had the
best that the market afforded. But
that time Is past and in order to in
sure the highest quality for the three
houses, Mr. Cohen will choose his pic
tures from the best of the licensed and
Independent makers. For today the
Globe will make a feature of "Amer
lea, Star of the West." the proposed
national anthem with words and music
written by a Portland composer, Mrs.
Theresa L. T. Hoppe. Artistic slides
will show the words and music to be
sung by Miss Dorothy Daphney Lewis.
The Picture feature is a two part ux
bin. "The Double Life." with the com-
edy an Edison. "Getting Andy's Goat.1
At the Peoples the Famous Flayers
release will be "Marta or tne ixw
lands" with the distinguished star of
international fame, Madame Bertha
Kallch, in the title role. Madame Ka
llch's impersonation of the pathetic
Marta' is said to be one of the most
marvelous demonstrations of dramatic
art on the screen.
Tom Terris, the famous English ac
tor, will appear at the Columbia to
morrow in a Shuberts' special feature.
"The Chimes." The picture is a visu
alisation of Charles Dickens' Christmas
story. A splendid cast of English ac
tors will portray the quaint characters
of Dickens' conception. "The Manu
facture of Salt" and an organ solo will
complete the bill.
At the Majestic, a Vitagraph, "The
Rose and the Thorn," with Naomi Chil
ders. is the feature on a program com
pleted with Alice Joyce in "Fate's Mid
night;" Norma Talmadge and Vandyke
Brooke in "The Loan Shark; King;"
Hearst-Sellg Weekly and James Mor
rison and Dorothy Kelly in "The Dou
ble Error."
The Star will have No. 10 of "The
Trey O' Hearts." "The Steel Ribbons,
a railroad Installment in which Cleo
'Madison does most of the work. One
of the sensations is a aajlroad collision.
Florence Lawrence will be seen in a
.comedy romance., "Xhe Girl Who .Won."
Thi Animated Weekly and a comedy,
e Ne"ver Spoke a Word" will com
plete the bill. Wednesday the Para
mount release will be a picture version
of Walker Whiteside s great success,
The Typhoon."
"Man's Enenmy," a Klaw & Erlanger
feature, heads the Circle's bill for to
day only. "The Rounders," a Key;
stone comedy, will be repeated. Mon
day and Tuesday a Keystone and No,
13 of "The Million Dollar Mystery
are the features. Wednesday the
Hearst-Sellg Weekly will be shown and
beginning Thursday "Our Mutual oirr
will be a regular Visitor on that day.
The release for this week is No. 35.
I
N its proposed Grand Boulevard the- i
tion in picture show bouses. The struc
ture will be a duplex theatre planned ;
to mak it possible for patrons, en
tering in the middle of a long feature,
to see short films until the beginning
of the feature is reached. This result
Is accomplished with two auditoriums
that face each other with a shallow
stage and screen placed at the back of
each. Between me auditoriums is a
huge screen of plate glass, one piece
in helrht and three in length. The
ooeratlnr rooms are placed above the
glass screen and each audience views
its pictures through the glass on the
screen at the rear or the opposite auo
torlum. One of the features of duplex
theatres is that no seats can be placed
within BO or 60 feet of the picture
screen, so that there will be no bad
seats. The partition between the audi
toriums is made soundproof in order
that a pipe organ may be playing in
one and an orchertsa in the other with
no transmission of sound. Soundproof
no in.in..n BV"u"'i
shutters are arranged, however, so that
the music of one side may be thrown
into the other at will.
X2 OR what la said to be the first time
J in the history of film making a
screen actor baa been required to play
the nart of his own father in the same
scene with himself. -Tbia difficult
task has been exacted of J. Warren
Kerrigan in one of the latest Victor
releases. "The Dreamer." To the lay
mind the feat may seem impossible
but it is accomplished through double
exposure on the same film, a process
which is just coming into great vogue
and which is responsible for many re
markable effects in these latter day
productions.
NEW YORK steamship companies
are authority for the statement
that fewer actresses went abroad for
their vacations this summer, even be
lore the beginning of hostilities, than
ever before. The explanation lies in
the demand for well known stage peo
ple to appear during the summer
months in feature films. .. A resume of
recent releases with their casts of
prominent actors and actresses would
seem to prove the explanation correct.

Suffragists to Use v
Motion Picture Play
Bight Steel Production Is Expected to
' Se Stellar Film of Tear; Old Trod
den Paths to Be Abandoned.
The National American Woman Suf
frage association, forsaking the staid
ways of Susan B. Anthony and Lucre
tia Matt, announces that it has car
ried its propaganda Into the motion pic
ture world with an eight reel produc
tion, "Your Girl and Mine." The play
comes out under the Joint' auspices of
Mrs. Medill McCormick. chairman of
the congressional committee of the N.
A. W. S. A., and William N. Selig, of
the Selig company. These two have
financed the production, the proceeds
of which will go to the association.
Three hundred people are in "Tour
Girl and Mine" which the Selig pro
phets say is likely to prove the picture
star of the year. No less an actress
than Olive Wyndham will play the
lead. Katharine Kaelred, leading
woman in "Joseph and His Brethren,"
is also prominent in the cast as is Syd
ney Booth, nephew of Edwin Booth, of
The Yellow Ticket" company.
Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the N.
A. W. S. A., will also appear in the
film which will be an entire evening's
entertainment. The film is being
rushed to completion in the effort to
get into service in the seven campaign
states where suffrage comes to a vote
in November.
There are no long-winded argn
merits in 'Your Girl and Mine,'" said
Mrs. McCormick. "There isn't even the
familiar suffrage parade. But it is
packed with thrills and 'action, which
serve even better, we think, to carry
our message.
"We are going to reach people who
flatly refuse to read our neat, cogent
little pamphlets. If our plans go
through, there will not be a spot in
this country, from the mining camps
of Alaska to the everglades of Flor
ida, which will not understand, vividly,
what women mean when they talk
about the right to vote.' When I tell
you that Dr. Shaw furnished the argu
ments and Gibson Wllletts, the fecund
author of the thrilling 'Adventures of
Kathlyn, wrote the scenario, you will
appreciate that this is good smashing
melodrama, nothing lees."

Mile. Dorzlat, who long ago won a(
name ror herself in France, maae ner
debut in New York and America at
the Shubert in "The Hawk." The occa
sion was rather a memorable one as
William Faversham returned to as in
a modern character, in such a part as
first made him famous. . He scored a
few new successes, too. for his wel
come was great and deserved.
"The Hawk" proved to be the best
French play presented here since "The
Thief." It is by Francis de Crolsset. t
The audience was completely . held by
the play and the acting of Faversham
and , the new star all the way. The
play itself would have been a tremend
ous success without the - stars with
them it was. wonderful.
It is the' old human triangle pre
sented with an entirely new version
that pleased immensely. It is the ex
citing emotional story of two Hangar-1
lan conference people, married and
clothed with seeming respectability.
They win- their way into a fast, young
set in Paris and endeavor to cheat a
rich American at cards.
The woman ultimately captivates the
son of their host.. Later, while his
love for her is at its height, he de
tects her in the act of handing a card
to her husband. She quails before his
denunciation and when . he asks her
she gives up her husband, the gambler,
and flees with liim. Nine months later
she returns to the broken gambler and
it is in that final scene that Mile. Dor
aiat does her greatest bit of acting.
She did none of the things that emo
tional actresses are accustomed to do
in their moments of stage stress but
Just the same she brought her audi
ence to tears. . . -
Faversham took the part of her hus
band and as before stated, his acting
was superb. In fact only once before
has he appeared to such good advant
age and that was when he was here in
Bronson Howard's "Aristocracy."
