Next door lives Roger Wain right, a wealthy New' York man, played by David Powell, who .has bought this neighboring planta tion for the purpose of being near Gale, whom he loves.' 'Things progress more or less smoothly between the two until after a wild night spent at a nearby inn. Wain right finds himself a fugitive, ac cused of the murder of Gale's fa ther who had-conducted a raid on the resort that evening. , But Gale believes in Roger, who asserts his Innocence of the crlma She aids him to escape, but later, when she learns the tacts, she gives chase and finds him In his home. Of fleers" of - the law are close behind, and the girl has to rb some quick thinking; It Is a ease of being loyal . to . her dead father or protecting the man she loves.- Choosing the latter. Gale determines, to shield her sweet heart. With the arrival of the officers comes the : climax of the production a climax that has much, to do with ! making "Fog Bound" a picture different from anyt&lng you have yet seen. This is an Irvin Willat produc tion. Including in the east of sup porting players Martha ; Mansfield Maurice Costello and other prom inent artists. . ; . . . "The Spoilers," Jesse D. Hamp ton's screen production - of Rex Beach's celebrated i novel of t the Klondike, which, was presented at the Oregon theatre Friday, is an immense picture. When Sellg filmed this red-blooded romance of Alaska's gold rush a decade ago it was regarded as the greatest ohotoplay ; of Its day. ' But this 1923 version is assuredly : one of the most spectacular, and exciting pictures ever made. A remarkable east la seen in the picture with Milton Sills as the manly hero; Anna Q. Nllsson as Cherry Malotte. the loyal dance ball queen; Barbara Bedford a pretty brunette a? Helen Chester, the innocent heroine;. Noah Beery as McNamara, the crooked but courageous politician; Mitchell Lewis as Marshal Voorhees, afraid of no man ; that walked ; Robert Edeson, as the rough-and:ready Joe Dextry, mine owner and'ready to face. death for his rights; Sam de Grasse as the cowardly Judc Stillman; Robert McKlra ka Struve, the crooked lawyer; Fprd Sterling; Rockllffe Fellowes, Loji Ise Farenda, Gordon Russell, Wal lace. McDonald and numerous, oth er players well known for tbelr ability to act Western roles. It isn't this superb cast and its skillful acting: which make "The Spoilers" euch thrilling entertain ment. If a the story. Rex Beach described at first-hand the fever ish fight for gold In the Klondike when, the sands of the Yukon sud denly turned yellow. His account of how the miners were despoiled of some of their richest properties by corrupt politicians is an histor ic event. Beach crammed bis dot el with conflict, romance and sus pense and this Director Lambert Hlllyer has siillfully portrayed on the EilversheeL ' The crashing .climax In ;"The Spoilers' comes of course.

BESSIE LOVE IN ''HUMAN WRECKAGE All : humanity should g i t e thanks to Mrs. Wallace Reid for giving to civilization her much discussed anti-narcotic production "Human Wreckage" ? which . was shown for the first time to Salem audiences Friday night at the Grand theatre and which , will be the attraction for four days only. : - By .all odds tbe most predom inate feature of "Human Wreck age Is the sincerity of Mrs. Reid This courageous little woman who has lust come through an ordeal of nerve shattering . terror has begun an unremitting campaign to check the swiftly spreading tide of dope addiction which is gradu ally encompassing -the entire world.; "Human Wreckage", Is merely her. first step. And It is a step well taken. The photoplay is not one of sordid tendencies. ' It is entertainment. -powerful en tertainment, perhapr-but how, one asks, would it have been oth erwise possible to drive home to humanity the real story of drug addiction? - , "Human Wreckage" is in na sense biographical. It does ! not depict the troubles of Mrs.- Reid or the sufferings of her. lam en ted husbandl It does not portray any eide r of tbe ; all-too-well-known Btory of , the, tragedy of .Wallace Reid. - The story has - to do with the brave struggle of a famous attor ney to fight off the dread habit of addiction, an attorney who sue cumbs to-the affliction and then. after falling as low as human-mor tal can fall, succeeds i by almost superhuman efforts in ridding bimself of tbe disease. As the at epic fight in which Glennister and McNamara - settle their scores. Their . tussle is one of the very best rough and ' tumble fights of the screen. - It you enjoy a red blooded exciting film; with a real story, don't miss "The Spoilers." .. 1 Jl.ee HING CHIN "The Man with - the Double Brain" , has j re turned to the. theatre with his mathematical Marvels and feats of ambidexterity, having been , re engaged by the ' management - la 2 p. m. to 1 1 p. rn.
