"The Inferno" by Dante to ,

:The two classes of religious de
votees who have come to b known
by" the ; ternis "modernists"; and
"fundamentalists,' because of
their belief or non-belief; among
other things, in the' existence of
hell as a place of eternal punish
ment for earthly sins, are found
to be equally interested 4iri "Dan
te's inferno," the unusual film
production made by William Fox,
which will be seen today at the
Liberty theater. Incidentally,; no
one'' will deny that Dante, in writ
ing his great classic, "The Divine
Comedy," including as . it' does
three allegories describing the
Hereafter, proves himself as con
sistent a , fundamentalist as ever
lived. It is said that his concep

and purgatory, ai-e largely in, ac

Well Known Writer Tells of
Our Salem Author, in the
Portland Telegram :
I ... 1
(The folowing;
by Dean Collins,
Oregon writer.
the well known
appeared in the Portland Evening
Telegram -off Thursday:) .
"Down, on 1 the ;Farm a booklet
of twelve I charmingly, written
sketches came up from Salem re
cently and, slipped, into the book
stores so quietly that only in the
past day or to have the bookstore
prowlers" .3 remarked to their
friends: - I .
"Have you" read Ella McMunn's
book?"f':; .1 -
Theft immediately those whose
memory runs back seven or eight
years in this literary history of
Western Oregon remember how
Ella McMnnh hsed to send up ex
quisitely written bits about the
tremendous trifles. she discovered
continually in the farm out In the
Lake Labbish territory where she
and her mother
live.
They will alsjo remember how
she came to Portland as a feature
writer, bringing with her the keen
human insight, the.,whimsical tal
ent for t seeing; the. importance , of
ine seemingly ynimpprtapt, ana
the. quaintly humorous method of
expression that Is her own ajid n6-l
""u; t ioc- tinu 410 w bus wrote
feature storjes forthe Journal un-?
til it Was necessary for. her to re
turn to he home 'down .on the
farm arid be with her mother.
The new book is a tragic little
book, a humorous little book, a
philosophical little book, an amaz
ingly human little book, and a
book that brings back the breath
of trillium fand; sweet-briar and
cool mosses and theN chatter of
birds from kraong the . crumbling
rails of the pioneer.."worm fences"
: that is, it brings it back, to
those who have been so fortunate
as to have lved part of their lives
in the farm country of the Wil
lamette. Valley. - -4 ; ;
It is a book to be. read by one
who appreciates a sensitive obser
vation of life and a graceful and
individual style of writing The
writer's own ill health may have
thrown a shade of pathos, over the
lent, and surrounded by a capable
cast of favorites.
; PA3IPERED YOUTH
Real fire horses are seen in ac
tion in "Pimpered Youth," the
David Smith picturization for Vit
agraph of Booth Tark ing ton's nov
el, "The Magnificent Ambersons."
Los Angeles 'pensions its dumb
firemen that is, puts them out to
pasture when they have finished
active serylde. ' Most of those are
still fit for active duty, and It was
from among this lot that Smith
obtained ' horses, for the fire
scenes.. The animals were keen to
answer the jblang of the gong, and
the result was a spectacle that
put the old Roman chariot races
in the shade.
