From the time when he did "The K'racle .Mau" he ha been steadily forging forward. One day George Arte, the humorist, and Mr. Melghan discussed a: screen story. The result was; -Our Leading Citizen." which Al fred Green d rected and which ad mirably fits the star, as it should a w.!lr. Ade wrote it to suU Mr. Meighan's personality. Lois Wit son was picked up as lead n wo man and Theodore RobeiU and others were assigned to the big roles. Jack Holt, virile Paramount star, has been seen in many unique roles during his screen ca reer, but none has equalled in general interest his impersonation of Robert Kendall, a pearl fisher in the South Pacific islands, in c 2 ONE ONLY iiirdaiip Hug. 1 ; AFTERNOON AND NIGHT V First Time Here of the Giant Combination I srfU, L 1 Wtii Iim'iLI ' ' ' Ml' ii ' ii w, n - a ' 'Vt Iftt t jr-J tt5naa.nl iff C- wIMgq Ha i0 mi mm mm his latest Paramount picture.

Then she went up to her room as though ia a daze, untangled her lustrous hair, and (we of course are. not permuted to see what follows) in a few minutes she is enYeloped in a flim-y suit of pajamas. Now Mr. Wallace, her father. proprietor of a big department store, had watched her Tery movement with an ulterior motive in mud. He entered her bed chamber and told her she had left her fhoes on the stairway. She was disturbed, but in another mo ment he asked ber yes, to, teach h m the latest jazz step. So to the,vicJxola and the reception room she took him. And as they whirled and jazzed, as only Made, line knew how to teach her dad the jazz steps, iu came the stately. stern Mrs. Wallace, just returning from a bridge party. And then wbat happened? Why did Mr. Wallace encourage his daughter to danc? with him at two in, the morning? This is but one of the novel features to be found in "Why Girls Leave Home," which will be the feature attraction at the Ore gon theater four days starting Tuesday. Two of the most popular play ers in the screen are in "The De licious Little Devil" which is now play ng at the Grand theater. The first is Mae Murray, the star; the other, Rudolph Valentino, who plays the role of a youns man about town. The presence of these two make the picture worth see ing, not to mention the entertain ment offered by the novel plot. Leon Bary is rapidly establish ng himself as one of the most prominent players in filmdom and why not? ' He was for years one of the foremost actors on the Parisian stage and served as lead ing man for such stars as Sarah Bernhardt and Re jane. He has appeared with distinction in R-C Pictures, especially -"The Lure of ade," with Pauline Frederick, and "The Call of Home," the Gaa- nier R-C production now at the Liberty Theatre. Does a man love a girl merely for her exterior beauty, her paint and powder, her silks and satins', or does he care for the soul be neath all this? This is one of tho interesting questions discussed in Mae Murray's newest Paramount oicture, "The Gilded Lily," which TODAY and Tomorrow will be the attraction next Tues day at the Liberty Thetre. Witb an all-star as a back ground, $15,000,000 dam for an exterior studio, western mountain surroundings for atmosphere, and a story of unparalleled interest Anita Stewart will be the attrac tion at the Liberty Theatre com. mencing Wednesday in her latest Picture. "A Question of Honor." Edward Hearn is the leadinc man in a drama of the Sierras that was directed by Edwin Carewe and adapted from the Ruth Cross novel of the came name. ' Elaine Hammerstein in a new Selznict Picture. "Why Announce Your Marriage?" Is announced as the featured attraction at the Lib erty Theatre next Saturday. Un like most of the pictures in which this charming star haa recently appeared, "Why Announce Your Marriage?" is a comedy of the lighter type, which is said to af ford the star new opportunities of which she makes the most at all times. In the picture a notable sup porting cast, is seen with Niles Welch at ks ead. Arthur Hons man and Florence Billings also have important parts an dothers in. the cast are Frank Currier, Huntley Gordon. Marie Burke, Elizabeth Woodmere, James Har rison, and George Lesser. A story that Js said to bristle with thrilling incident and glow with the warmth of romance is Pauline Frederick's latest picture entitled "Two Kinds of Women," which comes to the Liberty Thea tre next Sunday. This story is based upon Jackson Gregory's novel, "Judith of Blue Lake Ranch," and gives to the emotion al star ample opportunity to flash her abundant talent. Mr. Greg ory is famous for his stories laid in the West and this particular vehicle is in his best vein. "Two Kinds of Women" introduces Miss Frederick as part owner of a cat tle ranch. She hustles out West, suddenly appears at the ranch. discharges the foreman and takes the management of the big place in her hands. From; that moment on things begin to happen with dramatic, swiftness ,and how Jud ith with the help of a mysterious cowboy checkmates the ex-foreman's attempt to' ruin the ranch makes an absorbing! adventure story. The star is supported' by a large cast of competent players that includes Tom Sanfschl, Charles Clary. Dave Winter, Eu gene Pallette, Billy Elmer. Jack Curtis, Lydia Titus, Otis Harlan and many others.
