"The Red Lantern" each one of which
was in its day a phenomenal success.
In "The Brat" Nazimova tells graphic
ally the story of a .slum child with a
woman's heart. The play begins with
her llfo In the chorus of a cheap mu
sical comedy. It peeps behind the scenes
into a realm of unreality, heavy with the
odor of grease paint and glittering with
the tinsel of frivolity.
Philip Pelz rene-.ved acquaintance with
Portland friends yesterday when he ap
peared as director of the new strand
symphony orchestra. Director Pelz will
remain with the Strand permanently.
He followed the action of the picture
yesterday with skill and won applause
with the special orchestra numbers.
SUNSET In no sense Is "The Unpar

Sunset, a preachment. It is an absorb
ing tale of love and adventure, with
incidents of the World War as a back
ground. And yet, those seriously in

which the action- is presented, much of
a philosophical nature to Interest -them.

The man picked it up and, seeing the
name "olly" embroidered on the piece
of lace, 'assumed that this was the girl's
name. Me became infatuated with her
and before going on an exploring trip

about to be returned by the heart broken-
and humiliated spinster, when sud
denly the explorer finds that a
truth has suddenly da
near letting his
great
life's greatest happiness go from him

And there is a happy ending pro

tragic story. An English cast inter

on the program.
LIBERTY "Upstairs and Down," a

thrills that will entertain and delight

and trouble. Thl3 adorable little mis
chief maker is engaged to Tom Carey,
but to her that Is only an ordinary inci

CIRCLE Douglas Fairbanks makes
his reappearance as "Old Doc Cheer
ful" in "The Knickerbocker Buckaroo"
which will be shown at the Circle today
and tomorrow. The moral of this story is
that doing something for somebody is
a worthy and laudable ambition, but
that unselfishness can sometimes be
carried too far, and unless guided by
calm Judgment, may bring the unselfish
one results he doesn't expeci, and, sec
ondly, that the proper place to start any
reconstruction in character is at home.
Douglas plays the part of Teddy
Drake, wealthy New Yorker, who de
cides that his life is all wrong because
of his selfish qualities and starts out to
do unselfish things in the world, whloh
gets him Into a series of amusingly
complicated situations laid in the west.
Fairbanks was the first to introduce
constructive philosophy via the screen
route. He has taught millions the way
to laugh, because of an intelligent un
derstanding of certain conditions of life.
His latest picture deals with one of
life's greatest evils, that of selfishness.
