SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1924 THE CAPITAL JOURNALALEM. OREGON TPAGE THREE ARACTIGNS AT LOCAL MOVIE HOUSES CHARLES RAY AT BEST IN LIBERTY MEDY PICTURE Taking tho oluslvo dangers of rtio harvest moon ns tho theme for his la tost pictures Charles Hay has ovolvoil a rollicking fiucicty ciouk comedy drama in "Alias Julius Caear," which will come to the Liberty theatre, distributed by First National Pictures for three days commencing Monday. Writera havo used, endless words In outlining tho romantic powers of nlslit timo under a moon flood ed sky; but it has remained for tho Btar delineator of rural roles to revolve a plot of hiughablo portent around this snmo property. In tho case of "Alias Julius Cae sar" Hay lias used the moon as a luro by which a clever Boclety crook fascinates his victims nnd despoils them of their jewels. The let ion is so delicately portrayed, however, that tho comedy domin ates each theft and creates Intense- i y humorous diversion. j Most of tho action centers around H suburban country club; and fori this purpose scenes wero shot at one of Los Angeles' most exclusive golfing associations. Tho elabor ate dnnco hall and broad sweep of landscapo from the veranda of tho club furnish many impressive scenes. Karbara Bedford makes her first appcaranco ns Hay's leading lady. The remainder of tho capable est for "Alias Julius Caesar" includes William Scott, Robert Fernandez, Fred Miller, Eddie Ciribbon, Tom Wilson, Harvey Clark, (ius Thomas Milton Ross, S. J. Binslmm, Phillip Dunham and Uert Offord. Billed At Ye Liberty J fa few 1 10 T ! ill , A .5 . 1 i..w v... ..V. A I Pis Charles Ray and Iddie Gnbbon in"Alias Julius Caesar' RUE ADORE Hence Adoreo, playing tho femi nine lead opposite John Gilbert in tho Fox production, "A Man's Mute," has tho distinction of being featured in tho only film etory ever written by Georges Clcmunc euu, French war premier. After that sho appeared in "Monte Crlsto" nnd "Honor First," both of theso productions starring John Gilbert. "A Man's Mate" is tho third plcturo in which Hence Adoreo has been enst opposite Gil bert. Oddly enough, they nil had French settings, for which this actress Ih fitted because of her origin and training, Heneo was born in Lille, France. The scenes of her childhood were obliterated by German sheila. At eighteen sho had gained recogni tion on the stage. Sho repeated . her success In London. Tho war re-! called her to France. When Clem enceau's novel was published after tho armistice and William Fox ar ranged to produce tho film vcr ain, Miss Adoreo was tho natural choice for the leading role. The Liberty will show "A Man's Ma to" for two days starling Friday. IS GOOD VEHICLE Charles Jones in "The Circus Cowboy," his latest William Fox production, which opened at the Liberty theatre last night, is Jones at hfs best. It Is a rip-roaring action picture which gives this popular star plenty of opportunity to net as well. Marian Nixon, who has been his leading l.idy in several of his re cent productions, furnishes the ro mance and in the colorful setting of the west and the "big top' fif THE WESTERN Tiono Pine, one of the few re maining towns In California to re sist the modernity that destroys pie t uniqueness, was chosen as the location for filming "The Hack Trail," Universal picture starring Jack lloxle, which will be screen ed in tho Itllgh theatre commenc ing today. Lone Pine nestles among huge cottonwood trees nt nn ele vation where the sheer cliffs of tho high Sierra begins, nnd Is close to tho edges of both the Mojavc and Death Valley deserts. Cattle grazo in tho mountain meadows only a few miles away, nnd land must be Irrigated. "The Back Trail" Ifl the first of a new series of stories that Uni versal has purchased for Iloxie, who recently signed a new con tract for flvo years. The ntory was written by Walter J. Coburn. who has gained prominence ns a writer of western romance, nnd was adapted for tho screen by Isidore Uernstefn, for many years a mem ber of Universal s stair. Tho marriage of a physically shattered hero of the world war to a painfully plain littlo English governess, furnishes ono of the most poignantly pathetic situations in "The Enchanted Cottage," First National picture, that comes tc the Oregon theatre tomorrow. Richard Barthclmess, tho star, portrays Oliver Basbford, the crip- IS FEATURED IN Thft niJ-itfnn nf..( 1..l I Which resulted In tho n., Acf i n tho great dog race in Canada Is iu do mo attraction at the Oregon theatre beginning Friday. It is Tho Love Master,' 'the First Na tional picture starring the wonder dot Stronirhp.ii-t Laurence Trimble, producer and director of tho feature, in prepar ing tho story had a great part of tho plot hinge unon the outcome of a dog race. Teams could be nired and race drivers engaged but Mr. Trimhlo fr-lf rli tlia ism would be gone if it was merely aiiiKou icr me sake of the picture. Accordingly he consulted with his partner in the producing company Miss Jano Murfin, tho famous playwright, and as a result cash nrizes woro nffurfvl nn.i nir ai;o oigiinizea unuer the rules ac ui-iHuu in L-anaua. The size of the prizes attracted tho best dog teams in Canada, which means in the world, and oeiy unver of any fame was pres. ent at Banff with his team. Cam eras were stationed at every criti cal point on the course. for the time made was the fastest ever reached over a similar course. ThO result, na f.-ir n tho nlntnro value is concerned, is some great thrills. 4 'HA CHARU5 JOKES in Me ClWCUS COWBOY Wiuliam Fox production there Is enacted a drama of intri gue, love and men that will hold your interest throughout. Tho story is that of a cowboy who, accused falsely of shooting a man, outwits and outrides a posse and Joins a circus. Miss Nixon plays a tightrope walker who even tually captivates Jones, but be- foro sho does it, she supplies the motives for some extraordinary action. One of the big thrills of tho picture comes when an nnimal trainer, spurned by the girl, loos ens the guy rope of the ight wire while she Is performing, bne iaiis, but Instead of being dashed to death, sho Is caught in the arms of the big cowboy. What else could they be but happy after that? Others in the capt are Jack Mc Donald. Hay Hallor, Marguerite Clayton nnd George Romain. 1 if. & "DAY OF FAITH' When Tod Browning decided to make "Tho Day of Faith," at tho Goldwyn studios, he said ho was going to have a "hand picked" cast.
