It la the film version of ; ; Joseph Herges helmer'a ' tremendously ? popular story, "The Bright Shawl.'V deal ing with the days of Spanish op pression In Cuba.

Robertson, responsible for ! such productions as "Dr. Jeryl and Mr. Hyde" and Sentimental Tommy," was the directorial genius behind the cam era. ' ; ' - - ' " j : - " Barthelmess has perhaps the most romantic role of his entire screen career, ! that of an adven turous young American who takes up the cause of the rebels and in cidentally falls In ; love with the daughter of aj rebel leader. The complications which ' ensue when La Clavel, a Spanish dancer, the favorite of the most-despised of Spanish officers, becomes infatu ated .with the young American, who: encourages her so that he may gain Information of value to the rebels, are said to make this one 'of the most absorbing photo plays of a decade. ' ..; ; "The Bright Shawl" has been filmed on. a-most elaborate and colorful scale.; The screen adap tation . was made by ; Edmund Goulding. Known as a John S. Robertson ' production, it Is pre sented . by Inspiration Pictures through Associated First Natio nal as one of the most' Important photoplays of ,1923. ' Last : night we saw a picture which thrilled, delighted and en tertained us as much' as anything has in years. It is unique In every sense of the word. - ; . i; It In Universal's "Hunting Big Game In Africa." now playing at the Liberty theater, and it is abso lutely fascinating from the open ing shots of over a million pen guins filing into the ocean, and whale hunters shooting harpoons into huge whales, to i the close-up of a giant, African elephant charg ing Into the camera, which makes you want to get up out of your seat and hunt for a tree; ' , By all means see' this- picture and take the children. For if you don't they'll never forgive yon If they ever f ind but about this show. There is action in every foot of the picture. A wealth of ma terial has enabled Mr. Snow to be more ; than generous, "and when you are not marvelling at the as tonishing animal shots . you sit entranced by the picture. A-wealth of material out of Africa, i . .There ts comedy; the antics-of a herd of giraffes provide a hearty laugh, human Interest; the native trackers at work, drama; "buzzards feasting from stricken oxen, the charging rhlnocerl, slinking lions, a dead IvVpuff adder in camp, the Stampede of herd . of maddened elephants. Tlire; an again the aulenee burst idtb applause at the wonders revealed by the camera. Working under conditions that would discourage the most expe rienced 'photographers,'; 'Sidney Snow has secured some extraor dinarily beautiful pictures.! There is one shot of the black-bulk, of n elephant : seen against what seemed to be white, dead trees that is stunning. Working with a 12 inch lens, young Snow has 'been able to film animals) miles off or & ... achieve startling closeups of un-j suspecting beasts. We liked Boss Snow, who hunted in overalls, a cap and a flivver. -; - , - ; 1 f" - Rupert Hughes has never , been more dramatic in the picturing of a story than in his newest Goldwyn film, "Souls for Sale, which is coming to the Oregon . theater on Tuesday for three days, although his hand has by no means lost its cunning in the depiction - of the comedy and the little realistic touches of ordinary life! which make the whole world ki. ; ; While f Souls for Sale'? is basi-- cally a story : of motion j picture players and the making of photo plays.
