Riley's Sweetheart
Poem in Pictures
' . - . .
James Whitcomb Riley's im
mortal poem "An Old Sweetheart
oC Mine." baa been plcturized for
Metro and Is coming- to the Lib
erty threater on Tuesday. This
charming lyric of the great Iloosi
er poet Is called "perhaps Ameri
ca's most popular poem" by Marc
us Dickey la his book "Youth of
..James Whitcomb Riley," and .it is
deservedly popular, because it con
tains the essence of life and love.'
Jn it is the pure sentiment, the
wilfulness, the pathos and the
joy that characterizes the' best
work pf the poet. , . ;
1 The photoplay version retains
all the human appeal of the poem.
It is the poem itself made to live
before our ; eyes. And the dra
matic interest is sharpened by a
beautiful and thrilling story which
fits admirably the spirit of the
lyric. r Where the original poem
suggests, the picture amplifies. It
is a simple lyrical melody, or
chestrated and . expanded , into a
powerful . and. beautiful photoplay
symphony. v
" One' feels'. In seeling this pic
ture, that .the great, poet -would
have been proud to h.ave his, word
music made : into a -picture har
mony of such rare charm.
The photoplay begins with the
love of John Craig and his boy
hood sweetheart, with Its youth
ful trials and joys. This love de
relops. through young manhood
And finally flowers into' undying
devotion. The story is filled with
thrills and rapid action. There
are conflicts and perils. It is a
picture that will hold the interest
at every moment.- v.

picture will be inferior to the ori
ginal story. T
So often do we hear the criti
cism: "It is a good picture, but
it is not the book for it has been
greatly changed." ,
But this cannot be said of "Pon
jola," a ,. First National picturiza
tioniof Cynthia Stickley's famous
story of South African life, which
opened yesterday at the Oregon
theatre.
"Ponjola" as a film is "Pon
jola" the book, and no one who
was ' enthralled with the celebrat
ed : Stockley masterpiece Is going
to be disappointed with "Ponjola."
(Those who read "Ponjola" 'are
going to be overjoyed "with the
screen version, for the producers
of this picture have adhered faith
fully to the plot and theme of the
story and have given us a picture
which can truthfully be regarded
as one of the dramatic gems of
the year.

Is directed by Clarence G. Badger
from the Edward Rose play, "The
Rear Car," in which Richard Ben

The picture contains thrill upon

No wonder Bee Winsome's
gowns are things of beauty and a
joy forever. Nature endowed the
charming: figurante in "Hello
Prosperity!" which comes to the
Grand tomorrow night, with a
pretty face and figure that might
send an artist into raptures or in
trigue the boss selector for a sul
tan's seraglio. Then her natural
feminine attribute of desire for
pretty things has been enhanced
to the n'th degree. Plus all this
is the well filled purse of friend
husband, who is none other , than
A. B. Marcus himself, owner of
the Marcus show.
Thus it i that Miss Winsome
has excellent cause to assert that
in the big harlequinade .she has
earned the right to be regarded
as the most stunningly caparisones
actress in the realm of extrava
ganza. A dozen different creations are
worn by Miss Winsome during the
progress of "Hello Prosperity!'
Early in the proceedings we find
the winsome Miss Winsome guard
ing the gate of a chicken farm
clad in an idealized uniform of
