"After witnessing JacKle3 sil ent drama performance1, I am con vinced that he Is a great traged ian and not a eoml at all.

At least a dozen stunning, startling, dazzling creations are worn by Gloria Swanson in "The Impossible Mrs. Bellew." This may interest such women as are interested In Gloria ' Swanson's beautiful gowns. The picture will be shown today 'only at the Or egon. i What la considered a gala event in the film history of Salem, is the premiere ' presentation of "Catch my Smoke," latest photo play featuring Tom Mix, which comes to the Liberty tomorrow. This photoplay is ; said to be replete with action from the first to the last reel. Ably asisted by an excellent cast, including "To ny," the marvelous horse, and flawless photography. "Catch my ok tells the story of ah ef fort madk by Tom's enemies to defraud hflti out of his property upon his refrn from France, and of the dynai!fiewesterner3 tri umph over them. Not only does he thrill us by the display of horsemanship but in his dare-devil work he succeeds in eluding his pursuer. This is one of the best photoplays in which the versatile Fox star ha3 appeared and there can be no doubt that he gains additional laurels with each new photoplay. The management guarantee six reels of solid en tertainment during the showing of this new pictureplay. Lon Chaney plays two di3tinct roles in "A Blind Bargain,': a vigorous melodrama showing to day at the Liberty. : Mr. Chaney Impersonates a distinguished phy sician and a hunchback, certainly the most unusual character ever shown on the screen. r This latter character is a man In whom the maniacal physician has" transferred the glands of a monkey, causing him to become a hunch-backed hybrid. Peculiarly enough, the deformity is a sympa thetic character, while the doctor is the villain of the piece. ; . Because of this dual character ization complicated double expo sure photography was neces3ary.i Both characters appear- together in many of the scenes. 'Inasmuch as it took Chaney three hours to change his make-up from that, of the physician to that of hunch back, there was always a wait of that length of time between te beginning and the end of each of these scenes.- , , The greatest care ' is necessary to have everything in Its rightful position. No object can be moved Chalk - marks were , . made on ihe floor to Indicate the exact positions of the actors.- - , The black eye worn by Viola Dana through a large . part ! of "June Madness," which is given but one day, Friday, at the Ore gon, on account of late arrival was a work of art in the opinion of Director Harry Beaumont, and of everyone else who viewed ! it Incidentally, this eye gave Bull Montana his first opportunity to direct, and . likewise proved his claim to the title of "The only caveman in captivity." ; The action required that Miss Dana, attired in a beautiful wed ding gown, must trip, fall against the lower paft of a pew and suf fer a blow on her right eye. In this time will more than please. "The Bohemian Girl" holds a particular-place In the affections of Eng i-h speaking people, and has been a source of enjoyment to a vast number of music lovers, be cause of the many' arias which are among the most popular of songs in the language. "The Heart Bowed Down." "Then You'll Remember ,Me." and i "I Drempt T Dwelt in Marble Halls" are three of the familiar ones. If you . want to hear them - sung as they should be, and framed In its proper Betting, together with other; delightful songs of the day, don't mlsa this performance.
