The bill also has two snappy comedies that alone are worth the price of admission. Bennett's best Keystones, "Viola of the Movies" and sv patriotic novelty with song accompaniment entitled "Let's All Be Americans Now." Today a two reel scenio of Alaska, with a lecture by Alaska Blacklock, was added to the bill. These pictures show the far northern territory in Its wild state and, also. Its Industries are depicted. The feature "Plain Jane" is one of the few character Impersonations that Miss Barrlscale has undertaken. First appearing as a slattern In a cheap boarding bouse In a college town, she Is so unkempt of appearance that It is hard to beUeve that It Is "Pretty Bessie" at all. Her beauty Is, there fore, all the more Impressive when she poses for a photograph that wins a beauty contest. The play Is con sistent, and the parts are well enacted. Closing Week at Lyric The closing week of the Lyric Musi cal Stock company opened Sunday, this being the forty-third consecutive week this organization has been amusing and entertaining Portland.

Father Gregory of the Sacred Heart church and Rev. George Schoener were on the platform with him. The muslo of the day was partlcu ' larly pleasing and inspiring. K - Misdirected Effort Vicious. Rev. v Edward Pence of the Westminster Presbyterian church spoke on Sunday of the possibilities for using and the dangers of misdirecting the powers : . given to humanity. He cited Germany as an example, pointing out the power and ability of the nation, and the mis direction of these gifts. Dr. Pence said that Germany led the world on the penetration into tho laws and forces of material ministry. He also showed how Germany illus trates closeness of many's glory and his shame. "She has." said Dr. Pence, "trans former her vast constructive genius Into a destructive, as terrible as the constructive was beautiful. In her we have a kind of exaggerated parable of the Individual, man or woman, who, being gifted with powers intended to beneficent uses, perverts them to selfish ends." Solas Its Annual nesting. The Woman's Mite Missionary society of the Bethel African Methodist Episco pal church held Its annual missionary meeting Saturday night. Mrs. W. H. Prince, president of the society.

Portland lodge No. 65 of the Masonic order at tended, 150 strong, the services Sun day night at the First Methodist church, where Rev. Joshua Stansfield discussed "John the Baptist." "N niceties of conduct, or mere proprie ties of life can give the light that truly shines," the pastor said in part, John, the Baptist, a patron saint of all good Master Masons, he pointed ont.waa great In his humility of spirit, sturdl ness of character and fidelity to truth. A self consuming light, such as John I was. Rev. lr. stansiieid said, is tne brightest human light. The Masons, who set aside the day for church going, assembled at the Masonic Temple and marched to the church. Meeting Series Concluded. Congre gational denominations of German speaking tongues Sunday concluded a four day series of meetings In the First German Congregational church.

At the Theatres AMUSEMENTS Novel Bin at Strand Everything from a human fountain to a boomerang hat thrower is Leigh of Leigh and La Grace, whose juggling act opens the new bill at the Strand theatre, beginning Sunday.

Myrtle Stedman at People's Pretty Myrtle Stedman, Sunday at the Peoples, cemented the bonds of friendship felt by Portland people through acquaintance with her on the screen. Appearing In person, she gave an agreeably surprising treat, by sing ing several fascinating selection a Rich and melodious is her voice, showing her talent as a prima donna as well as a film actress. A shimmering, scin tillating gown set off well her charm ing blonde pulchritude. She will ap pear twice In the afternoon and twice In the evening, dally, ending Tuesday night. As for the photoplay part of the show, a five reel mystery story. "The Page Mystery," Involving mur der, of which several persona strive to appear guilty, has a lot of thrills. Carlyle Blackwell, June Elvldge and Arthur Ashley play the principal roles. Spectacular arow scenes give resplen dent settings for the gripping- tlot. "Lonesome Luke, Plumber" Is a riot of laughable comedy. and Walter Gilbert are all good la their parts. George Webster Is a peri odical visitor to the- scenes, full of gravity and preachment. Herbert Por ter and Lora Rogers give fine touches of comedy la their quaint roles. Excellent Program Offered An excellent program. In addition to the big variety of outdoor amusements and sports. Is again this week a draw ing card well worth while at the Oaks park. Sunday McElrOy's band once more excelled itself in a musical pro gram that Included the "William Tell" overture, and Jay B. Towr, the Ore gon composer-singer, sang his two pa triotic pieces, "We're Going to Fight for Uncle .Sammy and Dear Old U. S. A." and "May God Bless You and the Red, White and Blue." In addition, a sidesplitting cartoon comedy, "Twenty Thousand Laughs Under the Sea," was screened. In spite of the snappy air, the attendance at the park was large and everybody seemed to have a rat tling good time. legitimate drama and as a film actor he promises to continue his long list of successful achievements which have given him the title of being the mo t versatile entertainer In the amusement world.

Here riotous living gives him considerable notoriety and reduces his finances. Jones finally returns home, saves the plant from being closed by the trust and marries his sweetheart of early days. reer," but she has poor support from the members of her company. The O. Henry photoplay is amusing, being?. 'His vanity and Some Sables. Play of ForgottenEra at Baker "Ten Nights In the Bar Room" opened Sunday at the Baker, where the Alcazar players are offering their closing performance for the season. Superficial examination shows that the old time play, much parodied, muti lated and maligned by "scoffing critics. Is steeped In such extravagant lines as "I shudder to think of the awful doom awaiting" i Iear tha worst Is yet to come" -if you ever cross my path again, I'll spit on you for an abased menial that you are" which last Is the fearful threat of the villain. The role of the drunkard's dying little daughter, who gives a long, sentimental admoni tion to her father, rtftftnitn her beinir In The Flame of Youth." the throes of death. Is saved by the "l" '"'- iaieniea smii et miss Mayo Metnot. Bo roe rang Is Splendid "When you see Belasco's name at the top of a program, you know the show's Just right," commented an old theatre-goer In the Helllg smoking room between acts Sunday night. He was discussing the first act of "The Boomerang," a delicious comedy brought from Broadway, New York, to Broadway. Portland. The Old Timer's comment in re staging applied all right to the general proposition, but it did not do Justice to all the charms of the acting, which was finished and exceedingly artistic Martha Hedman. the Swede girl, captivated everybody with her personal charm and her artis try. Arthur Byron as the young doc tor cemented old friendships with Portlanders. Wallace Ebblnger as tho lovesick youth and Ruth Shepley as the fickle object of his devotions were almost magnificent. Others In the cast were happily selected, likewise. The story Is of a doctor who prescribed for the love-Jealousy of his very first patient. The "boomerang" part comes when his own medicine hits himself. It is all very funny with a fun delin eated most subtly. The settings are nigh perfect, especially the scene In the doctor's office, which Is fitted up like that of the best Portland specialist. When wrltlnf te pleerw mention TT, or calling Journal. sdTerMwn, Ad ) J "Her Secret" Excellent Play A pleasant surprise awaits the theatre-goer who attends the Majestic this week, on account of the splendid acting and well worked out plot of "Her Se cret." the feature play.
