The psychology of the American
doughboy in France is a thing
unique in Itself, as presented in
"Tbe Gentleman From America,"
starring Edward (Hoot) Gibson,
at the Bligh theater next Satur
day and Sunday, i -
The inadaptability bt a typical
American soldier to foreign ways
of doing things, and the noncon
formity of European inhabitants
to his, idea of doing things, is the
idea around which are built hu
morous situations.
Gibson, was In the service him
self, and perhaps this should do
much: to make his portrayal of .the
doughboy true to life. Other ele
ments making for sincerity in the
production are the facts that Ed
ward Sedgwick, who directed, was
in the AEF, while Raymond' L.
Schrock, scenario editor at Uni
versal City, who wrote the story,
also knows his subject intimately.
Louise Lorraine will be seen op
posite the popular star, while Car
men Phillips, Tom O'Brien,, Frank
Leigh, Burton Law, Carl Silvera
and others have the remaining
roles.
Spain is the locale of the, story,
and the Castilian country furn
ishes, opportunity for. thrilling ac
tion. Not long ago the Western Mo
tion Picture Advertisers picked
13 , "stars of tomorrow." Theii
selection aroused great interest.
Now Rupert Hughes has been
doing something of the same thing.
For his latest Goldwyn picture,
"Look Your Best," which he per
sonally directed, he needed ' six
butterfly dancing girls. He speci
fied that they should be young,
beautiful, charming, graceful and
able to dance. The eminent auth
or looked at nearly 100 girls be
fore he found the six that suited
his strict requirements, v
Mr. Hughes doesn't say that all
the members of his butterfly bal
let will be tomorow's stars, but
the qualities which he demanded
are just what the casting directors
say a star should have; The
author-director was not looking
for well known actresses. The
butterfly parts are really "bits,"
but each of the girls has a chance
to show her ability and physical

charms.
The girls picked by Mr. Hughes
are Mona Bracken, daughter of
Clio Bracken, the distinguished
American sculptress, who is mak
ing her screen debut; Mildred
Kelly, beautiful daughter of the
keeper of the Goldwyn gate; Alma
Bennett, a bewitching brunette,
who has played In westerns; Paul
ine Toler, Helen Kessler and
Jeanne Hope. The two featured
roles are taken by Colleen Moore
and Antonio Moreno, who have
already arrived in the stellar
class.
It will be interesting to watch
the progress of these young girls
Will they become new luminaries
in the cinema sky? There's only
one way to tell wait and see.
"Look Your Best" will be shown
at the Libertytheater for two days
commencing today.
A leopardess In a cage may ex
cite curiosity but little fear, but
a leopardess at large, however
tame It may be, hides a menace
in every movement It makes.
This was the discovery recently
made by Montagu Love, screen
player who has the role of Scott
Quaigg, a rascally American big
game hunter.' during the filming
J of Alice Brady's new Paramount
t nlctiirp. "ThP Innarrtos.n vhlih
will be on view at the Oregon
theater for one day only ( Friday ).-'
As a result of being apparently
mauled to death by this animal,
Mr. Love bears several scars as a
reminder of the occasion.
In the story, Mr. Love as the
villain, forces Miss Brady, a South
Sea island belle, to marry him, his
purpose being, to tame her as he
believes he has tamed a leopardess
he has captured with ; the lash,
if necessary. He works upon th?
half-caste girl's superstitious fears
until one day she realizes that the
Ispetl is broken.' ' Then aha rebels.
and tbe angry husband seeks to
intimidate her with the aid of the
leopardess. The animal, however,
vengefully turns upon her master
and in tbe struggle the man - is
killed. , ''
t In the filming of the scene care
was taken by Director Henry Kol
ker to insure Mr. Love's safety.
Tbe tamest leopardess in captivity
was obtained from Ringllpg Bros.,
but in the death struggle Mr. Love
received several severe scratches
which necessitated the services of
a surgeon. This scene is one of
the strongest and most dramatic
in the picture. The story, is ab
sorbing and the , situations -quite
thrilling. - The supporting com
pany includes among others Ed
ward Langford and Charles Kent.
