" ; THE OREGON SUNDAY. JOURNAL, v PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, A DECEMBER y 3, 1917. 3 Photo Plays -' f XBJERTY "Joan the Woman." said to be the biggest achievement ever pre sented by any theatrical line, will be - 'projected at the Liberty today, with specially engaged 14-ptece orchestra. At the head of a company of players, the equal of which is seldom duplicated, : Is Oeraldme Farrar. In her support at?e Raymond - Hatton, Hobart Boeworth. Charles Clary,, James Neill, TuUy Mar hail. Marjorie Daw and William Conk--lln. There are 5000 others In the cast. "Joan the Woman" was directed by Ce cil B. DeMl lie, and into this 10 part production there. has been incorporated; .7 ' the most stirring theme. Here we have i . the bravest woman in history coming1 down to. our own age, demanding that we listen to her in the mighty Invoca tion for the freedom of 'civilisation. - Today, right at the front In Europe, there Is no greater stimulation to pa- v triotlc endeavor among the men than the presence among them of that fight ing spirit suggested by Joan of Arc She is their patron saint, their mascot, their guardian angel. Never have battle scenes been better shown than those depicting the deliverance of old Orleans by Joan's army. The first epoch of the story is a record of valor and achieve ment. The second epoch is freighted with the horror of dungeons and torture, and in the end the blazing faggots and the stake. The cumulative effect of the armored legions and the quivering -. lances, the storming of the towers and the final victory is nothing short of tremendous. Equally moving. In a dlf-j ferent way,. Is the tragic ending. COLUMBIA Jack Pickford distin tinguishee himself with his keen ap preciation of humorous situations and ? v his genuine boyishness in "Tom Sawyer" ; at the Columbia. Tom's story is built : around the immortal character drawn J so vividly by Mark Twain. Tom lives V with his Aunt Polly and his cousins, Sid and Mary. He is mischievous, but not " 'at all a bad boy. He spends most of his .time trying to escape soap and water as well assschool and church, and engages in fiat fights with the goody boys. This ' gives him a perfectly good chance to sit next to his sweetheart, Becky, and to write affectionate notes to her. One day . Tom gets an unjust whipping, which ' should have gone, to hi cousin Sid. He , becomes disgusted with life and with two s of his friends, Joe, Harper and Huckle ; berry Finn, decides to escape the re verses of fortune. They secure a raft .'and Bail to a desert island and become ' pirates. Their families are worried to I distraction and after a thorough but un successful search for the bodies decide that the boys are dead.. The funeral is ' planned. Tom, who happens to have slipped home to leave a note for Aunt Polly, overhears the arrangements and ', on the morning of the funeral the three lads appear In church and are welcomed by their grief -stricken parents. HIAJEST1C Mae Marsh in "The Cin- . derella Man," from the famous play r of Edward Childs Carpenter, Is the holi- t day offering at the Majestic. A young heiress. Marjorie Caner, is so much touched by the account given by her ".father's lawyer of a young poet, An 1 thony Qutntard. who is starving in a 1 garret at the other end of the block, that she undertakes to bring him food and comforts over the roofs. Her trips to the garret are made during Quintard's 1 absence ; but one day he catches her. He suspects that she is the millionaire's .'daughter, and Is about to evict her be " cause, as a Socialist, he has mo use for ' persons who are "filthy rich," when she '; tells him she is Just Mariorle Caner's companion, Miss Mudge. So he suffers i her to remain, and presently she volun teers, to help him by typewriting his ' opera libretto which he has Just1 com f pleted to be submitted m a contest for - a 110,000 prize. In due course, Qulntard ', finds himBelf in love with "Miss Mudge," .-but feels unable to declare himself be " cause' he has no money. At last, how " ever, he makes bold to ask her if she'll ' have him when he makes good. She tells him "Perhaps." But when the time comes that Quintard wins the prise and is ready to ask" her to become his wife, ' he finds her already betrothed to an-f- other: His indignation is increased when he learns that she is really "filthy rich," and It takes the combined efforts of her father and three friends to un tangle the situation and bring' Marjorie . to her happiness. DEOPLES Maciste (known in sunny Italy, where he halls from, as Signor '.Ernesto Paganl) Is the star in "The - Warrior" at the Peoples. He will be re- l membered for his performance of'Ma ctste, the giant slave In "Cabirla." The ! Italian actor is a perfectly huge person. who eneaees in uprooting trees, upset ting both horse and rider with a gentle shove and bowling over Austrian sol ' dters by using one of their comrades as a v battering-ram with the utmost facility - and ease. "The Warrior" is good fun and it also . has its share of real thrills. The scenes are laid, for the most part, among the Italian Alps, and the difficulties encoun tered while carrying on the present war- fare in that region are vividly shown. The American public is fairly familiar with the methods adopted by the Alpine '- soldiers to reach the almost lnacessible mountain peaks, but to behold a body of men working their way across a deep canyon by clinging to a wire cable or ' see them go up hundreds of feet to the i top of a straight wall of rock by means of a rope -while fully equipped is to v experience something new in thrills, S There Is a story to conritect' these exctt- lng incidents with the usual romantic love interest . demanded by screen melo drama. The Italian strong man towers above everyone in the cast in more ways 1 than one. m a a STAR Mary Plcktord was Just made to order to play the Bmall New Eng land heroine in Kate Douglas Wlggln's delightful story. "Rebecca of Sunny v brook Farm.' at the Star. Vivacious and .. lovable, never has Rebecca been vts - vallsed as Miss Pickford does it.
