"Thbse Who Dance" Showing at Oregon Whether you are for the boot legger or against him, you will cer tainly "find a tremendous "kick" as -well as novel entertainment In "Those Who Dance." which has just opened at the Oregon theater. With one of the biggest casts presented this season, Ince has told a story that has set tongues wagging wherever his production has been shown. Tbe bootlegger, the "hl-jacker," the rum-runner, the ''stool pigeon," the ward poli tician and a .dozed' other types of the modern underworld play their part in the novel romance of a yoking lawyer who turns his wits against a; gang of bootleggers after the tragic death of his young sister from wool alcoholism, and a girl from a small town who drop3 in, with the life of New York's underworld to save her brother from the same gang. jThere is a throbbing heart in terest in every sequence of this remarkable drama, for the char acterizations have been inter preted in masterly fashion. Blanche Sweet, fresh from win ning laurels in "Anna Christie," has found opportunity for equally: "dramatic work In the role of "Rose Carney." The change which she ; effects on the screen from the. innocent, ignorant: girl from "up-state" to the sophisti cated, bobbed-haired, cigarette smoking underworld "queen" is an amazing revalation of cinema art. " . Hessie Love, as the hardened little underworld queen, who of fers a. finished model for Rose's jeincar'ation; Warner Baxter play ing the difficult role of the young lawyer who falls in Jove with Rose, and Mathew Betz, one of Ince's discoveries, portraying the unscrupulous bootleg king, offer a gallery of telling contrasts. The action story against which the producer . has silhouetted a hauntingly, powerful romance, is one of the fastest-moving and' most thrilling on record. Aside from the daringly unconventional situations which result when the heroine and her sweetheart pass themselves off as "affinities" co get evidence which will free Rose's brother from the death chair, there is a wealth of dramatic in cident, such as the fight on the decks, of the "rum-runner," the trapping of the truckload of con traband liquor .. and the climax when Rose and her sweetheart pit their wits , against the cleverest crooks of the underworld when they are trapped at the annual ball. i I Lambert Hillyer directed the production, which , ranks ' among the 'finest dramas of the season. PROHIBITION COSTS FILED BY CLEAVER Fines Amount to $77,607.49 According to Semi-Annual Report . Thomas IL , Ince's spectacular ing business. j'lf riches are , wicked, It Is strange that," no bug 6t pest is provided to handicap the bank Pines amounting to $77k607.49, and a total of 12,188 days in jail were obtained by the state pro hibition commission between Jan uary l and July 1, according to the semi-annual' report of G.
