possess some slight facility. There is

Wilson, late head of the old Portland

On November SO, in celebration, it
seems, of the Thanksgiving holiday,
comes "The Gold Diggers," Avery Hop
wood's sparkling' comedy, for which
Portland has patiently waited through
tne two years ; of its New Tork run
and the long season it spent is Chi
cago. David Belasco is sending the
"original" cast of "The Gold Diggers'
westward with Gertrude Vanderbllt
featured. The company will present a
Thanksgiving matinee as the opening
show and; a special Saturday matinee
as well.
'" Following the Belasco-Hopwood suc
cess in rapid succession will come Wm.
Anthony McGuire's famous comedy,
"Six Cylinder Love," traveling under
the Sam XL Harris banner which was
flung to the- breezes for more than 500
performances In .New Tork, "and the
John Galsworthy's .great tragi -comedy,

ran for 14 - months in New Tork, six
months in Chicago and " 1$ months in
London. William A. Brady. In asso
ciation with the London producers, is
presenting "The Skin Game."
All of which ties in nicely with the
season of light opera at The , Audi
torium, where the American Light
Opera company opens Sunday evening
fori a four-day season.- Many of the
singers were here two years ago sing-
teg "Robin Hood" to delighted audi
tors. The present repertoire Includes
such gems as , "Bohemian ; Girl,'
"Chimes of Normandy," "Martha."
"The Mikado,": "H. M. S. Pinafore,"
and "The Mascotte." .Prices for the
engagement are unusually low.

The silver sheet will make a big bid
for attention, too, tn the pre-holiday
season. In fact the bidding is already
tinder way, with the current programs
showing' unusual merit The Liberty,
presenting the second big picture with
Strong-heart, the wonder dog, has a
drawing card. -. It is "Brawn of the
North," and" is said so measure up to
the first, .?Tfc Silent Call." The same
theatre has booked Rudolph Valentino's
latest, "The Toung Rajah," to follow
the Stronirheart film.
At the Columbia Gloria Swanson in

inar a lure to movie fans and Man
ager E. E. Marsh at that house has
in reserve "To Have and to Hold,"
said to be among the . very best pic
tures in yeara j This , picture with an
all-star cast, probably will, be the
Thanksgiving attraction at the Colum
bia. .
Manager Fred Teufel St the Blue
Mouse has several big things in the
offering, aside, from "Where Is My
Wandering Boy Tonight." That feature
will be followed by Mary. Pickf ord in
"Tess of the Storm Country," a brand

Voices Important on Screen
No Silent Drama, Says Star
By Sossld H. CIsrke
During the - filming of Peter B.
Kyne's "Brothers Under the Skin," in
which he has sheading rols, Pat
C'ilalley was discussing motion picture
topics In general with, a group of actors
and actresses. : Some one used the ex
pression "silent drama. . whereupon
O'Malley exclaimed:
"JSlleit drama? Bah t There - isn't
sny such anlmaL As a matter of fact
the voice is one of the most important
elements in screen acting. All of us
know. - I thlnk that motion picture
acting closely follows the technique of
the spoken stage, and that the voice,
which is the most potent single force in
the possession of an actor, plays a
large part tn the result ;
"I've played opposite a good many
stars, and it has been my experience
that the' ones who knew how to use
their voices drew the most from their
casts. . All play acting - demands a
certain . sineertty, and -a certain as
sumption on the part of the audience
and spectators that what is being por
trayed by the actors is true. Now. 1 1

Persons : who : like to sit back and

There Is a deal written In the same

hand at dashing; off titles for film?
The writer knows many who are do

the most brilliant and able and hard

of the ' Cosmopolitan picture - "When

Miss 1 Davies believes In following the

a slave to style that all ot a woman's
personality Is blotted out, ;.'.. ? ,
"Be individual."- she says. "Study
the styles and then study yourself, and
If the style does not beoorae you. mod

will achieve distinction in dress."
-Miss Davies spends all her spare
time when not working in her coming
productions in designing and making
her own clothes. She, first studies some
up-to-the-minute fashion magasine, se
lects a pattern, then modifies it to suit
her own tastes. She recently saw the
picture of a black velvet dress which
appealed to her, but .she thought It
needed a lighter, more airy effect. So
she substituted black chiffon ' sleeves
for the heavy welvet, added . several
other original touches and evolved a
gown much more . chio than . the one
shown in the magasine. --' 1
