COLUMBIA "Pershing's Crusaders,
scheduled for showing at the Colum
bia for the new week beginning tomor
row. Is not unknown In a general way
to Portland photoplay goers, and it Is
because tha film Is bo well known in
fact that the management of the Colum
bia has engaged It for further showing.
"Pershing's Crusaders" has to do with
the activities of the American army In
preparation for service overseas where
It Is now doing such valiant work on the
western front. The many branches of
the service and their allied Industries
are shown In operation and there are
c'ose-ups of the big men in the big
war gamp.
"Pershing's Cnisadei-s" promises to
establish new attendance records for
the Columbia.

MA.HCSTIC "The Turn of a Card." J.
Warren Kerrigan's second Paralta
ilay, produced by Mr. Kerrigan's own
company, and now the attraction at
the Majcytic, rnark a milestone in the
actor'H career.
Not only does tiis picture contain
some Df .the most beautiful scenic ef
fects and magnificent' studio settings
that have yet appeared In Paralta plays,
but thfi breezy plot and the acting of
Mr. Kerrigan are declared to be un
usually fine. Mr. Kerrigan considers
that the remarkable success of the sec
ond production under th3 Paralta ban
ner makes certain his footing upon the
pinnacle which he has been hoping to
reach during his entire career. Mr.
Kerrigan's own company was formed
but a sihort time ago and his first pic
ture, "A Man's Man," released recently,
was praised by critics everywhere.
Mr. Kerrigan's dramatic career began
at school in his native town, Louisville,
Kentucky. Theatrical productions there
brought him Into prominence and incited
the confidence in himself which Is es
sential to the success of any actor. Upon
his graduation he Joined a local stock
"company, where his popularity followed
him. and he soon became the matinee
Idol of his native city. 1 Later he was
engaged for an Important part in sup-
' port of Minnie Dupree ana many stage
successes followed.
The sflreen finally attracted him and
he made his debut as actor In the slleni
drama with the Essanay company.
After his engagement with Essanay,
Mr. Kerrigan spent three years with
American and made several pictures for
Universal before the organization, of his
own company.
STTNSET Starting this morning a dou
ble bill will be offered at the. Sun
set theatre, vis.. Fatty Arbuckle in
"Moonshine" and "The Eyes of the
World."
In "Moonshme." Arrhickle has another
side-splitting picture. The scenes are
laid In the Blue Ridge mountains of
Kentucky and the story has to do with
the Illegal operations of moonshiners
and their suppression by Fatty" Ar
buckle and his assistant. Al St. John,
valiant revenue officer, brave and re
sourceful, but with a weakness for
handsome women.
When they get Into the mountains,
they have difficulty in bagging their
game and many laughable incidents en
sue. The moqnshlners hold their own
with the revenue .officers until "Fatty"
meets the ragged mountain flower, a
girl personated by Alice Lake. Then
the love element comes out strong, but
the overthrow of the moonshiners is
eventually brought about through its
agency:
