PICTURE PERE
Lon Chaney, is now playing
in which he appears in' a re
Lon Chaney Picture Said to
Be One of Six Best Pro
duced This Year "
"The Tower of Lies,", a Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer production, direct
ed by Victor : Seastrom, will nn
doubtedly be" tanked as one Of the
outstanding six productions of the
year. , This picture - opens tonight
at -the Heilig theater and will be
shown Sunday, Monday and '.Tues
day."" ; - -
Without doubt the popularity of
Norma Shearer aitad Lbn Chaney,
co-stars, add to the attraction of
the production! but' Seastrom's di
rectoyal genius has given the" pic
ture a touch of appeal that can
not go unheeded. We had thought
that Seastrom had-reached the
pinnacle in "He ' Who Gets Slap-
ped,?Mn which Miss Shearer and
Chaney also appeared but ' that
picture could . never attain the
heights reached by "The Tower of
Lies;" , ' ' "
The picture is a screen adapta
tion of Selma Lagerlof's popular
novel, "The Emperor of Portu
gallia." The continuity was pre
pared hy Agnes Christine John
ston, who has ' many- successful
scenarios to her credit and who
must 'have gotten everything out
of the original story for her screen
version.
: At no time in the careers of Lon
Chaney or Norma Shearer has
either of these two stars been giv
en such a wonderful screen ve
hicle. Miss Shearer has far out
done any of her former successes
and Cheney has made a very radi
cal departure from his usual char
acterisations with highly gratify
ing results.
"The. Tower of Lies" must be
commended for the . heights and
depths reached and tor pathos
which has been translated to the
screen. There have, been few pic
tures which grip " at the heart
strings and bring smiles of joy at
unexpected moments, as does this
one.: . . , ,'-,.;' ;
"The greatest characterization
of my entire film career!
That is the way Lon Choney
describes his role of Jan," the
"insane emperor" in "The Tower
of Lies." - - ;
The role offers opportunities for
a wide range bit acting and in the
story covers a period of more than
20 years! :: It opens with Chaney
as a Swedish farm tenant," a' hard
working grouch Mho ; sullenly and
recentfully ' looks r forward to the
birth a child as One more
mouth to feed," and less time for
his wife to work-in the fields.
But with the birth of the baby
Chaney becomes a different char
acter and devotes his entire life to
her.

Oregon climate, Oregon scenery
and Oregon's principal industry
form the background tor "The
The 'Ancient Highway," starring
Jack ' Holt, whieh pens for the
week-end at the Oregon theater
today.
Practically all of tne scenes, in
the production, which, is a James
Oliver Curwood story of lumber
ing .and love in the north woods,
were taken in Coos county last
summer, and Illustrate graphically-the
methods and practices in
volved ' in logging and marketing
the raw materials Oregon draws
from Its forests.
The climax scene, a log drive, ;
was taken on ' the Middle 1 Fork
of the Coquille river, and Is one
of the most thrilling bits of ac
tion ever , transferred to the
screen. So realistic and true did
the 'producers seek to make the
picture ' that one - of the actors,'
who was doubling for Holt during
the - drive, was swept - into the
raging waters of the stream and
drowned before he could -t
reached. " : . '
, , -
, The story deals with adven
tures of Holt, as' Clifton Bryant,
who after wandering all over the
world 7 returns to Canada to set
tle naa, account with the man who
ruined and killed his father. He
finds' that Ivan Hurd, the big lum
ber iking. Is not only his Own
enemy but the enemy of a beauti

tune and good name are both in
danger 1
Brant, to wipe out his own debt
of vengeance and because he has
fallen in love with the girl, enlists
in the unequal battle against one
of the biggest and most powerful
men in' the country, though his
love is unwelcome to her and she
accepts his help only because , he
forces it upon her.
The climax ot the struggle
comes during the great spring log-
drive. In which the man has to
pit his own unaided strength
against not only a ruthless mil
lionaire with every resource at his
command but against the forces
of nature as well.
The picture ends with the thrill
ing break-up of the log-jam, and
the hero, after risking death.

figures showed a gain in reserve

Guernsey Slocum of Portland,
when called to make a statement
by Mr.- Haine8, aaid that he had
twice been refused acharter for a
bank by' Mr. Bramwell.' Under
examination he indicated that he
had arranged with a Portland
lawyer to obtain a charter for him
at a ?ost of 11,000, but that the
transaction never was completed.
He also told the members of the
banking board that he had heard
a rumor that Mr. Bramwell was
to share' in this money.
The truth of this rumor was
denied by Mr. Bramwell, who said
that he refused togrant a charter
to Mr. Slocum because of letters
he had received from bankers in
California where the witness pre
viously resided. Mr. Haines, in a
statement made just prior to ad
journment of the hearing tonight.
