Newspaper Page Text3 Suburban Theatres , IN "ONE MILLION DOLLARS" Offer Strong Bills THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, v SUNDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 12. 115. THE photoplay entitled "Her Moth er's Secretr which open at the Majestic today, wu written by Martha "Wood row and produced by Frederick Thomson for Williim Fox. Ralph Kel Jaxd. AdonJ of the silent Bt&fffe. la tarred, and the play Is said to be one of the most powerful and most human dramas that has ever emerged from the Fox studios. It Is full of dramatic situations that snip and held the soul of the spectator, and its cli max, which, by the way, teaches a great moral lesson, is broufht out with the compelling, thundering-, ir resistible force of the steam hammer. Clergymen and educators Who have seen "Her Mother's Secret?" in script form -declare that Its potency for good is greater than that of "The Old Homestead.' Mr. Kellard appears first as Seth Cartwrlght, Sr., and later as Seth Cartwrigot, Jr. His transition from the self-centered, adamant-hearted fa ther to the blase, dissipated, pleasure loving eon. is one of the greatest trl umphs'of his career. As an added feature, pictures will be shown of the football game between (he Annapolis and West Point teams, which is not only one of the country's greatest gridiron battles, but ie at tended by many men of prominence in national affairs. Beginning today at the -National will be seen the latest release of the Rolfe photo plays on the program of the Metro Pictures corporation. . It will be William Faversham, the fa mous dramatic actor, in the five act feature, "One Million Dollars." This is a typical Faversham produc tion, teeming with action and unfold ing an intensely interesting story of mystery, love and intrigue. It is pic turised from the successful novel, "One Million Francs," by Frederic Ar nold Kummer, author of many books and plays, including "The Other Wom an," in which Blanch Walsh was starred, "The Painted Woman," with Florence Reed and "Mr. Buttles," with Henry E. Dixey. Mr. Faversham is supported by a cast of exceptional merit, in this pro duction, including Henry Bergman, Oeorge L Quere, Carlotta De Felice, Mayme Kelson, Arthur Morrison and others. In "One Million Francs" be has a role admirably suited to his tal ents, that of an expert criminologist who unravels a perplexing mystery through the agency of a mystical crys tal globe, which gives him occult pow ers. John W. Noble directed the pro duction, adding another triumph to his achievements with the Metro forces. t Bessie Barrlscale stars in "The Golden Claw, a play of business and society, which will show at the Colum bia theatre four days, beginning to day. Truly Shattuck. as the mother of the heroine; Miss Barrlscale ap pears as the woman of society who lives away beyond her means. Miss Shattuck meets her and tells her of .tilliiMirii" '' 'jj 1 William Faversham, who will be seten here in a Metro photoplay, "One Million Dollars." annoyances on account of straitened circumstances. Ehe Induces the girl to believe that money is the most im portant thing in the world, and that she must marry a man of wealth. Miss Barrlscale meets Frank Mills, who plays the part of a wealthy young man. Mills refuses to believe that Miss Barrlscale is simply seeking a partner of wealth. She marries Mills. Then comes the loss of his wealth through the failure of a mine. Mills tells Miss Barrlscale of his ruin, and she bitterly reproaches him as not having kept his agreement to provide all the luxuries of life. This goads him to seek to renew his for mer position, and by lucky deals he la able to restore himself to wealth. Then comes the death of his father. Miss Shattuck calls attention to Mills' indifference to the father's death, and Miss Barrlscale realizes that the man she has married has become nothing but a machine to make money. In the end Mills becomes a bank rupt, and his wife refuses to give him money, realizing that he is money mad. She brings him back to a nor mal view of life, and the play ends happily. Another feature of the program shows Joe Webber and Lew Fields breaking into society In ludicrous fashion In jthe Triangle-Keystone com edy, "The Best of Enemies." American Plays Are Popular in London Effects Produced by Amerloaa writers Beached la Most Direct Manner, Says Paper. "The chief reason for the hold of plays from America over London thea tregoers at this moment" says the London Dally Mall, "is that the war has simplified popular emotions and that the. American playwrights are a simple people. We mean that they get their effects in the most direct way. Their detective plays are genu ine "thrillers." Their comedies are a bustle of activity and high spirits. When they are sentimental there la no mistaking it; the appeal is as frank and naive as anything could be. And when they are humorous their touch is equally sure and exhilarating There is not much thought and noth ing "educational" In their plays; but there is a movement and kindliness and "go" about them that exactly meets the mood of wartime. The war has brought us down to the elemental things, and the theatre, like every other Institution, must respond to the change." Ust of Attractions to Be Offered at the Leading areifhborliood Picture Souse This jWeek. It's getting quite popular to take the family to the little theater around the corner.

One Meal Daily and Walks Her Slogan Mr. SaTld Belaeoo Tells Soma of Her Mends How She Manages to Be- znalm Active. When friends ask Mrs. David Bel aaco how she manages to preserve her lissome lines, she tells them that It's easy. "One meal a day and much walk ing." she says. :x) rar as sne nersen is concerned, Mrs. Belasco has vindicated the scien tists who claim that nearly everyone eats too much. For breakfast she has an orange. Coffee and a cracker comprise her noontide menu. But for dinner she eats as much as she likes, and what she pleases. So spirited is her dinner time drive against the dining room that she calls It "The Charge of the Light Brigade," Every day. It is. said, she may be seen walking briskly, with the light foot step of a girl, through some New York park. She does not use her automobile un less she wants to go some place at a distance, or save time in some Journey through the city. Old San Francisco 1 Is Vividly Recalled rorthooming Jfutaal SCeetcrpleoe t Story ruled frith. Bad Blooded Bo maaoe sad XxUttag- incident.

There Is one scene in particular the rescue of John Montgomery from the custody of the sheriff by Mexican horsemen. As It is enacted it is very stirring the sudden dash of the Mex icans, the rearing horses, flashing arms and the flight Harold Lockwood. in the role ot Montgomery, is the central figure in the battling of desperate men. There Is another exceptionally thrilling mo ment when Ellle, played by, Miss Al lison, escapes frpm a mob.
