Norma Talmadge
Scores Big .Hit; v
- At Oregon Today
' .
Norma Talmadge' scores one of
the greatest hits of her long
career on the screen iu "The Song
of Love," which Is now showing
at the Oregon. As an Arabian
dancing girl Miss Talmadge has a
role which Is both alluring and
strikingly (different from the so
ciety parts with which the public
has come to associate her. She
gives to the part a tempestuous
characterization and appeal that
endear her even more deeply to
the hearts of her admirers.
Somehow Miss Talmadge Just
seems to fit Into the sort, dreamy,
romantic settings of the desert
scenes of this picture and become
a part of the rich and colorful ori
ental interiors that are pictured. .
J-ovia fans who profess a liking
, fori Miss Talmadge cannot claim
that they are even aware of her
remarkable versatility until they
have' seen her in "The Song -of
LoVe."V. : " '

which has been enjoying unusual
patronage at the Grand this week
end. In this remarkable picture
' Mix performs some of his typical
. Mixian stunts which excel any
thing that he has ever before at
tempted. One of them is leaping
- from Tony, his remarkable horse,
Into the air and clutching the axle
bar between the landing wheels of
an airplane, which swoops down
overhead, going 80 miles an hour.
This , comes as a sequence to a
fight with . band of lumber
thieves whom Mix Is i bent upon
, capturing.
'Eyes of tho Forest" can truly
be termed one continuous thrill.

Daytime Wives
Showing Today
At Liberty
With a daring that is startling,
yet in a dress that is entirety un
offensive, F. B. O. has brought to
the screen one of the greatest pro
blems in America today the de
generation .of the home in "Day
time Wives," the super-picture
which opens for a run of only two
days at the Liberty today.
Grace Darmond, Wyndham
Standing and Dorelys Perdue are
the start.
Never before in films has this
great problem been presented in
so forceful or dramatic a manner.
Never has the line been quite eo
clearly drawn between the wife
and the woman business associate
as the true helpmate of the aver

It is one of the cross-sections of

something terrible with that good
looking stenographer of his?"
How often have you seen appar
ently happily married couples drift
apart, the man going his way and
the wife her's?
How often have you wondered
just what really was behind those
tragedies?
What drives men to tho com
panionship of women other than
their wives, men that are ordin
arily sensible, home-loving indi
viduals? And. what drives women
who actually Inns for a real home
to drift away and apart from their
husbands?
"Daytime Wives" is a livinp.
throbbing, shrieking answer to
those queries, and a score of others.
The manner in which unfound
ed suspicions ran wreck homes
and destroy happiness is vividly
shown in "Jealous Husbands,"
which is coming Tuesday to the
Oregon theater for a three-day en
gagement. The husband in thN rase w;is
unusually suspicious of his wife
and kept a strict watch on her
every action. One day he discov
ered a batch of unaddressed let
ters in her purse, and their con
tents were of such an incriminat
ing nature that in rage he paid a
band of Gypsies to kidnap his son.
and drove hi3 wife from their
home.
How matters were righted makes
capital entertainment, and the pic
ture has been hailed as one of the
finest of the year.
One of the most beautiful love
stories ever pictured on the screen
is enacted in "The Spider and the
Rose," a B. F. Zeidman produc
tion which is to open a three-day
engagement at the Liberty theater
Tuesday. Love in. the land of the
Senoritas. flashing swords and
Castanets, is brought out in all its
fiery passion by Director John Mc
Dermott. Alice Lake and Gaston
Glass are the principal players in
"The Spider and the Rose." and
i they both do the best work of
their careers.
Many of New York's theatrical
productions fall because thty have
no show.
