Th lead ing part, that of Veda, la taken by Ford Tarpley. author and producer of the play.' Other prominent roles are taken by young men and women prom inent socially In the city. Some of these are: Helen I,add, Karbura nartlett. Eve lyn Carey, Elizabeth Jonrn. Shirley Kastham. Margery Hoffman, Ruth Teal, .-irah M'nlly. Alice Oilman, Clementine Lambert.

Frank Branch Riley, Kenneth Warrens, Fred Forster and Folxer Johnson. Mrs. Helen I, add Corbett's home at Sixth and Jeffernon streets furnished the settings for some of the more "vi tal" portions of the piece. It was here that the wedding breakfast scene was staged. During the courtship part the scene shifts from city mansions to syl van scenes on Columbia river highway, to the VVaverley Golf club, to the city's busy marts of trade, where leaders in business were filmed, and finally to the city hail, where "hlzzoner" and the city fathers and other celebrities were caught by the Cooper-Hewitts. The thinnest thread of a plot car ries the play The upshot of it Is that Veda ingratiates herself into high so ciety and there wins out one of its choicest young men. The couple Is wedded andthere Is a kidnaping, which Is also a burlesque on the standard movie Idea. in the end there Is the customary denouement and the vlllalness gets all that her nefariousness deserves, whii h of course Is radically at odds with the standard Idea, which is "let the inno cent suffer."

How true Ihe old adages that "chick ens come home to roost ' and that "the wages of sin is death" is dramatically depicted in the Triangle-lnce photo play, "Honor Thy Name," which will be screened at the Columbia, beginning this afternoon. The stellar parts are In the hands of Frank Keenan, Charles Ray and Louise Glaum. The play al most from its inception Is intense, with one powerful scene fairly trodding on the heels of the one before it. More than to outline the story in advance would be to weaken it for those who witness it. In that is an arraignment of the old Idea that a young man must ' sow his wild oats." It 1 is a morality play, in the manner In which the error of that idea is proven it is a "vampire" play, but the inde cency and of fensiveness of the vam pire are kept well in the background, j Colonel Castleton. better remembered as the gay "Buck" Castleton among fast livers of New York, is a staid old southerner. The time comes for him to sed his son Rodney to college, and the colonel decides that Rodney might as well .ow his wild oats and get it out of nis system while absorbing knowledge. Almost :t the getaway Rodney falls Into the hands of a beautiful woman somo years his senior, cold blooded and calculating, as only a bad woman can be. She sets her cap for Rodney's money and. country lad that he is, he proves easy victim to the wiles of the polished siren. Rodney writes to his father his Intention to marry the "best and most beautiful woman in the world." and suspecting something, old "Buk"' boards a fast train for New York. He takes in the situation at a glance and has no difficulty in win ning the siren away from his son. He then exposes her. The vampire's mother has been "Buck's" mistress when he was a gay blade and has never forgiven his desertion of her. or rather the loss of his money. The old woman eggs on her unscrupulous daughter and she finally tricks the boy into marrying her. He takes her to the parental roof, where the father saves his boy from a life of a social outcast.

Portland wtll have the fortune ofi being one of the American cities where the highest class of motion pic ture, offerings in future will be pro duced simultaneously with their ap pearance in New York, Chicago and the other great eastern cities -but at a price less than half of that charged lor the identical offerings in the east. This has been brought about through the formation of the Western corpor ation, capitalized at $150,000 and offl (ered by Alexander Pantages, the vaudeville magnate; Duncan Stewnrt, wealthy New York financier and fis cal agent; W. I. Rosenthal, an expe rienced motion picture producer, and Lois A. Pantages, the latter the wife of Magnate Pantages and secretary of the corporation. The first act of the new company was to Incorporate for the production of motion picture features in ten of the western states, including Oregon and Alasku, and to purchase exclusive rights In the wonderful Thomas H. Ince million-dollar spectacle, "Civiliza tion." Kight prints were obtained and the Portland showing will begin a lim ited engagement at the Heilig theater next Saturday afternoon. Two per formances daily, 2:20 and 8:20. Toe great spectacle, which required the services of 40,000 persons and eighteen months In the making, has been running at the Metropolitan the ater, Seattle, for several days of a month's engagement and is crowding the former "legitimate" house at every performance. Its opening at Portland will intro duce for the first time the new stand ard of motion picture features, as it will be preceded by a prologue which utilizes the services of seventy-t'lve living artists. This Is one of the most artistic features ever incorporated in a film production. " J. J. Cluxton. a ca pable director, is in charge of this por tion of the work, having been chosen by President Pantages because of his long experience in this line. A num ber of Portland artists will be- utilized in the prologue production. Another big feature w:ll be the light ing and auxiliary effects, such as the simulated shriek of shells and their explosion, timed to the fraction of a second with their appearance in the picture. The photography is the last word in motion picture art and every detail has been worked out with Ince-like fidelity. There is not one false move, not one letdown of interest in the whole 10,000 feet of the picture. But two runs will be given daily, as two hours and thirty minutes are required for one showing. "Civilization" is billed as "Not 'Bet ter Than' but 'The Best.' " and is but the first of a series of remarkable fea ture plays to be shown here by the Western corporation. One of Mack " Sennelt's Keystone comedies will furnish the am-jsemtn i of the occasion. The piece is entitle.! "The Surf Girl" and it is a genuine joymaker. An exceptionally pretty scenic is "Toklo, the Capital of Japan," the pictures are particularly striking be cause they show the wonderful an 1 beautiful architecture and the many strange and uniquie buildings that make the Nipponese metropolis one of the greatest of oriental attractions to occidental visitors. Today will also mark the first ap pearance of the Columbia trio whttii wilt be heard at all performances throughout the week. The singers are A. Q. Hudson, tenor, Emma Smythe, soprano, and Henry Scougall, baritone I They are all well known to musical Portland.
