ABEL NORMAND has the best ve
hicle In "Back to the Woods" that
ahe has had since iher debut Into the
drama. It Is a comedy and MUs Nor
mand know how to put the pep Into
such a picture as thiis. It Is the story of
a airl who tires of the effete city life
and hies herself to the backwoods look
In tor ,real men. She finds one In a
L newspaper man looking; for stuff for a
atory. Proposals are plentiful in the
young life of this beautiful girl, but she
la somewhat taken back when she pro
t' poses to the dlnguiaed newspaper man
and Is refused. Later, however, to make
t (Dings ena ngni ana give me proper
touch to the story, he risks-his life for
(- her and all is well- It is a story abound-

! staged In a riawlenn manner. Miss Nor-
tnand as a backwoods school teacher is
winsome, clever and; entirely capable.
- Adding to the fun on the bill in a Mack
I Pennett comedy, "Hhe Ixved Him
" Plenty," a helter-skelter mixture of care-
less fun that keeps the spectators
' ' laughing.
DOUG'S NEW PLAY IS FINE
Bound In Morrooo" signifies good
contents, and the Douglas Falrgankn
film" at the Teoplee this week, of that
name, surely does not belie its title.
This athletic comedian always has a
store of acrobatic surprises for the fol
lowers f the films and In this "harem
Bcarem" comedy he does all that he
Should do., perhaps more.
Running across the' desert In North
Africa he gets Into trouble, pretty girl
nd irrepressible spirits being at fault,
as usual. He breaks Into a harem, and
almost breaks it up. In the end he gets
away with the pretty girl, rescues her !
mother as well and the film ends happily
with the villains dead or dying. It la
a five reel laugh producer of real merit.
There Is an educational film, combined
with comedy In such a way as to be
a most Interesting depiction of beavers
In their dam building occupation.. There
Is a "Screen Telegram." too, full, of In
teresting current events.
( ,
L
BLONDE MAKES HIT
"The Cabby and the Fare" easily
leads the bill at the Hippodrome, be
ginning Sunday. Charlotte Myers, a
dressy blonde with a good figure and a
good voice, pulls the clansical stunt of
calling her working partner from the
audience: Bernard, the male half of this
number. Is .a cabby come to collect his
fare. There ensues a lot of clever dia
logue and some very good singing.
Denn and Morrison offer an excep
tional act of voice' and violin harmony.
Jack and Marie Gray, with Jack at
the piano and Marie in clever costume
dances, furnish a very pleasing portion
of the bill.
"The Three Tumbling Fools" do some
thrilling stunts In the tumbling line and
' Introduce one or two sald-to-be brand
new ones.
Fredericks and Van, xylophone artists,
coax a whole lot more of melody out of
that Instrument than its appearance
warrants.
' The film offering at the Hippodrome,
a rather thrilling story entitled "Hered
ity," Is up to the usual high standard
of the house.
INTEREST CONTINUES BIG
Entering its thisd week in Portland
Sunday, Griffith's super feature,
"Hearts of the World." played to
crowded houses at both its perform
ances Sunday, at the Helllg.
Although the picture has been" seen
by between 60,000 and 100,000 people,
there does not seem to be the slightest
diminution of interest, and both after
noon and evenings, since it began tis)
return engagement last Friday, a long
line has waited the opening of the
doors. If anything, these - lines have
been longer than those during the first
engagement.

Miss Bara Seen
To Excellent
Advantage
"Under the Yoke" at the Majes
tic Is Charming Romance
of the Philippines.
TNDER THE YOKE" brings Theda
VJ Bara to the Majestic this week aa
the heroine of a charming Philippine
island romance. Theda is a Spanish
lady of most fascinating personal
charms, who falls violently In love with
an American army officer. Naturally
he returns this affection and thing are
going as they should in such affairs
when a former lover of Thoda's mixes
In and starts a revolt among the natives.
This little episode was likely to cost
the American his life and would have
done so too, but for the quick wit and
steady nerve of Theda.
The play Is full of tensely dramatic sit
uations ; the scenic effects are unusual
and the costumes gorgeous. Theda Bara
Is supported by a cast of exceptional
merit.
"The Tight Squeeze", a eomedy full of
healthy laughs, and a good reel of Pathe
war pictures fill out the bill.

Stars in Very
Strong Play
"Soul for Sale" at Star Is Re
markably Fine Picture With
Capable Cast.
DOROTHY PHILLIPS appears to su
perb advantage In "A Soul fot
Sale" at the Star. "A Soul for Sale"
Is the story of a once wealthy and
pampered woman who in the days of
impoverishment cannot deny herself
the luxuries she has been accustomed
to -In the days of her better fortune.
Her slavery to her desires leads her
to attempt to coerce her daughter,
the part portrayed by Miss Phillips,
Into a marriage with a wealthy and
disreputable man about town.
The girl, under the belief that it is
herv duty to make every sacrifice de
manded by her mother, agrees to
let herself be thus auctioned off, in
a fashion, to the highest - bidder, and
gives up her sweetheart. This younj
couple later are thrown together on
the roof of a burning building, and
the girl awakes to a realization that
it is not her duty to Bell herself to
gratify nothing but the absolutely sel
rUh desires of her mother.
The play Is well staged, and through
out Miss Phillips Is given fine sup
port. 7
EXCITEMENT IS PLENTY
"It's Tough to Be Married", with Wal
lace Reld and Ann Little In the lead,
is making a big hit at the Columbia.
There's all kinds of excitement in the
play lots of love and lots of shooting.
Reid is an American who gets mixed
up in a Central American revolution and
Ann Little is the heroine who assists in
foiling the schemes of the crafty enemy
and in saving the life of the hero. Of
course he marries the girl a proposition
which doesn t appear at all tough from
r.e audience.
"Bill Settles Down" is a clever two
reel comedy that fills out the bill at the
Columbia very nicely and proves popular
with Portland folk.

Spanish Influenza
Is Death of Seamen
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 19. Spanish
influenza and complications resulting
therefrom were responsible for the
death of five negro seamen, according
to passengers on a Dutch liner, which
arrived here Saturday. Most of the
ship's 539 passengers suffered from ln
Influenza In a more or less mild form.
Federal medical officers subjected the
passengers to a rigid examination before

horses for the Russian government.
With him are his cowmen, although
these do not appear In the performance
until late In the day.
Doug ejects his views on all occasions,
until his exasperated friends decide to
give him a touch of real high life.
Thence on, Doug Is subjected to a series
of happenings that would make a Lincoln

The wind-up is a aurplse party for

ing its use are often simply astonishing.
Weak, tired people regain strength
and vigor; thinness and angularity give
way to plumpness and curves : sleep re
turns to the sleepless; confidence and
cheerfulness replace debility and gloom ;
dull eyea become bright, and pale
sunken cheeks regain the pink glow of
health. Bitro-Phoaphate, the use of
which Is inexpensive, also wonderfully
promotes the assimilation of food, so
much so that many people report marked
gains of weight in a few weeks.

Bobby Skunk Drills His' Company
AFTER Bobby Skunk had drilled his
company of little people of the great
forest, be marched them around the
edge of Mirror ponds Redhead, the
Woodpecker, saw the company marching,
and he flew to a dead tree and found
a lovely drum, in the shape of a dry
limb ; and he started to play, Rub-adub-dub
; rub-a-dub-dub ; rub-adub-dub."
Redhead's red cap made him look ex
actly like a little drummer. y And he
kept drumming so well, that Bobby
Skunk marched his famous company sev
eral times around Mirror Pond, Just
to practice the company in keeping step.
And when Grandpa Frog saw the com
pany, and heard the drum of Redhead,
the Wood-pecker, he struck up a
splendid Frog-march, with his deep base
voice ; - and the great Frog Chorus
joined In the music.
It was the grandest march that had
ever been reflected in the silver mirror
of that famous moonlit pond !
If we had a photograph. It would show
Captain Bobby Skunk marching ahead,
with his loaded gun by his side ; and Mr.
Porcupine bringing up the rear, with
his hundreds of little lances swung
over his shoulders and back ! Why, you
know that Mr. Porcupine Is so well
armed, that he even carries lots of little 1
spears in his tall. !
And every member of that famous !
company was well armed. And each
one carried his weapons that night ; and
every member of the company was well
drilled In the use of his weapons.
Bobby Skunk would stop his com
pany, now and then, and shout, "Com
pany attention ; shoulder arms ; present
arms ; ground arms !" You see. If was
easier for some soldiers. In this com
pany, to ground arms than to shoulder
arms.

Wolf and other fight pictures, plus
some of the most magnificent marine
scenery transferred to the celluloid In

the six-reel photoplay special which
opened at the Strand theatre yesterday.
Tyrone Power, Frances Burnham and
Jay Belasco are the film players of
prominence who carry the leading roles
In "A Modern LoreleL" The picture Is
not a phantasy. Is not mythological, but
unfolds a modern story with the vision
of mermaids Injected via the dreams of
the heroine.
Power in the role of a fisherman kid
naps a baby girl, is cast with her upon
the island, and there the girl grows up
to bring discord to the young men of
the place. However, she is wooed and
won by a stranger who is shipwrecked,
and In the end It develops that he is
her foster brother.

Redhead's red rap made him look ex

When Bobby Skunk shouted "Present
Arms." every soldier opened wide his
mouth, and showed all his white, long
and sharp teeth, and stuck out his fore-
paws and showed his claws !
You see. It was easy for Mr. Porcu

best "little barbed spears were on his !
shoulders and back. And it was easy
for all to obey the order of Bobby
Skunk, when he shouted. "Ground

very quickly. It was a very funny

Yesterday the hundreds of faded blue
uniforms that eat amid the regular
patrons of the Oaks at the first per
formance of "Fascinating Flo," the new
musical comedy by the Armstrong Folly
company, felt the thrill of the many spe
cial numbers which had been put on for
their benefit. It was a show that went
straight to the heart as well as the
funny bone from curtain to curtain, not
by the old slapstick method of time
worn vehicles, but with an appeal that
was genuine. When Frank Shaw came
out and sang "The Boys of '1," whle
the chorua whirled In some novel pat

crowd that Jammed the auditorium rose
as one In its applause. It was called
for time and again.

Large Supply
Of Wool Yarn
Available
Red Cross Has 1,400,000 Pounds
Available for Year; Future
Output May Be Cut.
By VeUa Winner.
T'HE hundreds of Oregon women who
are looking to the Portland chapter
of the American Red Cross for wool for
knitting of garments for soldiers, will
be interested in the official statement
which has Just been Issued by George
E. Scott, acting manager of the Red
Cross, saying 1.400.000 pounds will be
available during the coming year. It
Is expected that Portland will receive
her proportion In accordance to the else
of her chapter. I. Lpwengart, manager
of the Red Cross work room, said this
morning, "Portland has her quota of
yarn up to September 15. but I am doubt
ful whether we will be able to supply as
many knitters after that as I feel sure
the government will be obliged to take
over some of the wool and the amount
of knitting wool will necessarily be de
creased." Mr. Scott'a statement follows :
"In addition to this stock of yarn
the Red Cross has already for distribu
tion, 1.600.000 sweaters, 134.000 mufflers
384.000 wristlets, 228,000 helmets and
1.328,000 pairs of socks, a total of J -674,000
articles. We are hopeful, there
fore, that these and such additional
garments as we shall be able to make
will enable us to meet the more urgent
requirements of our men during the com
ing winter.
"Wo have urged chapters and Individ
ual workers not to buy wool in the open
martiet, dui to secure their materials
through our department of supplies."
At a recent canvass of the Jennings
Lodge school district it was found there
were 40 children between the ages of 6
months and 6 years. Notices were sent
out to the mothers that the examina
tions of these children In the way of
weighing and measuring would take
place July 12 at the school house under
the auspices of the Parent-Teacher as
sociation, Mrs. Arthur B. Smith, chair
man of the program committee, being
In charge. Thirty-two children were ex
amined, five being normal and four a
pound under weight, was Mrs. Smith's
report at the .regular meeting of the
Parent-Teacher association held at the
Kvangelical Rivervlew Camp Grove on
August 9. As a large percentage of
those examined were under weight. Mrs.
Herolz of Portland spoke on the Feed
ing of Children, which proved very In
teresting. Others taking part in the dis
cussions were Mra John Risley of Ris
ley and Mrs. John Maldron of Oak
Grove. The association will take up
Red Cross and civic work during the
year. Mrs. William' Jacobs is president.

To Portland falls the distinction
of having as honor guests many of
the valiant men and noble women
who labored so gloriously in keep
ing the ship of state true to its
appointed course during the trou
blous days between '61 and '65.
Their ster may be less elastic,
their eye not so keen as of old,
but their spirit is more indomit
able than ever, their vision more
piercing in glimpsing and magnifi
cent destiny which they pictured
for the Union when It was torn
and disunited by civil strife. In
them our young men of today, at
they battle for a newer kind of
democracy, find an Inspiration
which will accept no half-hearted
defeat of the enemy or be satisfied
with no victory which does not
make them masters of the infoler?
able European situation.
To these veterans and all who
are with them and near and dear
to them, the Oaks Amusement
Park extends a whole-hearted wel
come. The park is theirs as long
as they are here. We hope .they
find pleasure in watching the new
musical comedy; we hope they
find happiness in wandering
through the flower-strewn walks,
and we hope they find a thrill in
the magnificent fireworks tomor
row night- in honor of American
victories in France.
