In variety and quality the offer ings of tha past week at the various theaters have left little to cavil at, and the outlook for the coming week seems equally bright With two days a week of vaudeville and offerings from two standard circuits; with two film plays weekly at the Bex, three at tha Castle and one or sometimes two at the Hellig, besides an occa sional high class road show, the theater-going public of Eugene finds it self better supplied with amusement than ever before. And a gratifying feature of the situation is that the theatera report business generally satisfactory, which agars well for . continuance of present conditions, Eugene is soon to have opportun ity to see two of the most taJKed about film productions of the season, "Abraham Lincoln," Which cornea to the Bex, and Douglas Fairbanks in "The Thief of Bagdad," which cornea to the Beilig. "Abraham Lincoln" is a tremendously fine production and ia one of the playa that have recently been produced to meet the demand for motion picture plays of a high type. In many of the cities where it has been shown, notwithstanding'that it is this kind of a play, managers have complained that business was inadequate. Eugene is the kind of a community that will appreciate such an attraction as "Abraham Lincoln" and it ought to do wen hers. . . , "The Thief of Bagdad" Is heralded by some as being Douglas Fairbnnk's "Greatest production," but then press agents are wont to any that about all of them. It is without a doubt, a tremendously big thing and it has been doing a great business every where. ' Calvin Hellig, president of the Northwest Theatrical association, who was in Eugeno this week, made his managerial start in Portland some 27 years ago ns guiding genius of the old Mnrquain Orauil. Ho knew theatrical tastes and how to enter to them and his business prospered and grow. Gradually ho brnnchod out and expanded the circuit which he hud organized, until at one time bis was the guiding hand for more than 30 theaters up and down the Pacific coaBt. In recent years there has been much readjustment in theatri cal affairs generally the country over, but Mr. Ileilig's business has gone on and prospered, due to his ability to sense and to meet changed conditions. gundy, who, In the masquerade of the burgher girl, Yolanda, wins the love of Europe's most dashing prince. The story is set Ui the fifteenth century in the period of Charles the Hold, Duke of Burgundy. Holbrook llliun appears aa the evil King Louis XI; Lyu Harding has the role of Charles the Bold, Duke o! Burgundy; Italpb Gravea Is the ro mantic lover, Prince Maximilian Johnny Dooley appears as the half. witted Dauphin, son of Louis; Loon Errol, the star of "Solly," plays tho nart of a comedy innkeeper and Mac lyn Arbucklo is seen as the Bishop.

Victor Varconl Is cast aa the store manager, Clifford Bam say. It Is about these three that the story revolves and It's not the time-worn eternal triangle tneme either, hut something re ally new. Paul Bern is a new director ("Open .All Night" was hlB erst work for the screen), and he has introduced some nov el Ideas into "Worldly Goods."

It has been elaborately produc ed and Is said to mark the fin est of Tourneurs achievements ns well as the boat work of the artists who have interpreted It on the screen. "The White ' Moth" originally appeared in Alnslees Magazine, being the work of Izola Forrest er, author of the "Gray Patu.' "The Feast of Lights," and othor stories. The plot centers around the ex periences cf Mary Rold, an Am- erienn girl, who, after studying music unsuccessfully in Paris, be comes a famous dancer on the Parisian stage, where she Is known as the white moth. She falls In love with a young Amer ican millionaire, Douglas Vnntlne, but his brother Robert marries her in ordor to forestall what he thinks will be a misalliance. And herein lies the donouemenL Miss La Mart has the title rule, while Ben Lynn plays Douglas Vantlno and Conway Tearle is seen as Robert. "YOLANDA" COMES TO HEILIQ Romantlo Play of Anolent French Royalty to Open Tuosdsy "Yolnnda" hsllcd as one of the great films of the season, is coming to the Hmlig this week for four days, next Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Itoplele with all the glamour and glitter of Freneh court flays, it is mado glorious by a thrill ing thread of romance. In this romantic masterpiece of the cinema art Marlon Daviea Is said to reach new heights in her subtle char acterir.stlon of the charming Prin cess Mnry of Burgundy, daughter of . Charles the Bold, who whimsically Impersonates the eharactor of Yolan da, a burgher maid, In order to test tho sincerity of the lore of her im petuous admirer, Maximilian of Sty ria. Tense and dramatic scenes are en acted throughout the film with a real ism seldom attained. Nearly two thousand persons were required to enact scenes depleting the armies nf the conflicting forces and to add col or and realism to the action. The picture moves swiftly presenting scene after scene of stupendous scope, "Yolsnda" is a pirturlsation of Charles Major's historical romance nf the name. It is woven sround tks romance c! Princess Mary of Bur- "INFERNO" COMES TO REX Film Depletion of Dante's Powerful Poem-story to bs Shown Naughty ladles of history, whose wiles and wickedness have wrecked empires, caused the downfall of king doms nnd stirred strong men into un holy wars, will be quite harshly dealt with in the Hereafter, according to the poot Dante. The fate of some of them will be seen next week start ing Thursday at the Bex, where the new production, "Dante's Inferno, will be shown for three days. Bpecial heating apparatus seems to have been arranged, even for ths les ser Indies of varaplrish tendencies, in tnose compartments of the nether worm to wnicn sinning sirens aro consigned. Take Cleopatra, for In stance Instead of being a queenly siren de luxe as she was during her earthly existence, Mr. Danto informs ns that she has been stowed away in the sub-basement of the Hereafter, where she will languish on through eternity, with never a Caesar nor a Mark Antony allowed near the place, All persiflnge aside, however, it Is sold that "Dante's Inferno," reaches entirely new heights in fnntasy and weird effects. Parts of hades niny well be called beautiful. The picture lias been made on an immense, lav ish scale, and adheres closely to the poem itself. V i1r By A. H. FREDERICK NEA Service Writer XJOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 24. They were only obscure movie "extras" a little while ago. But today they are ths happiest girls In Hollywood. For they are started on the road to fame upon the silver screen They are the "Baby Stars of 1825. The "Wampas" says so. - And tha "Wampas," an organisation of movie publicity men, rarely ever goes amiss in its predictions. Its selection is made annually from girls practically unknown on the screen, very few of those chosen in past yeara have failed to "make the grade." Thus the honor is cov eted by all "extras." There are 13 girls in the list. Ten states snd one foreign country are represented. Ena's Only 17 Betty Arlen, demure little miss of 18, was born in Providence. Kv. She danced ber way Hollywoodward, and into several small parts. Violet Avon, sister to Laura La- Plante, came to plctureland from St Louis. She was one to whom op portunity came unsought, a director, chancing to see ber, persuading her to accept a small part. Olive Borden and Natalie .Toyce represent the "Old Dominion." Olive Is from Richmond and Natalie from Norfolk. Miss Borden was grad uated from a Baltimore convent a year ago, while Miss Joyce played with revues prior to her picture ventures. Anne Cornwall and Lola Todd are OlivE eoeOEra New Yorkers. Miss Cornwall comes from Fort Hamilton and MiBS Todd from Spnyten DuyvaL The former has had stage experience, and sev eral years of small parts in Holly wood, and Miss Todd, member of a theatrical family, has bandied some significant parts since her debut with Carl Laemmle. .

"DANGEROUS MONEY" GOOD Babe Daniels Gives Fine Perform - snos at tha Castle Bebe Daniels' first Paramount starring picture, "Dangerous Money," which opened Inst night at the Castle theater, once again proves the truth of the old saying that "money is the root of all evil." As long as Adelo Clark was a miserable little drudge in her aunt's dingy boarding bouse, she was contented to bask in the sun shine of Tim Sullivan's love. The minute Fortune favored her, Adele"S troubles began and her romance with Tim received a rudo shock. "Dangerous Money," which Julie Hcrno adapted from Robert Herrlrk's gripping novel, "Clsrk's Field," in a study in vivid contrasts nnd pictur esque backgrounds, ranging from the Brooklyn wnterfront to a villa in Ita'y. All those subtle touches of humor and pathos that were ingrained in the story have been cleverly brought out In the photoplay, and the result is a picture, full of heart In terest, that is bound to appeal to the overwhelming majority of film fans. Miss Daniels gives a fine perform snce. Her sincerity, vivacity and per sonality are invaluahlo assets and atamp her as one of tha most tnlent ed, if newest, of our screen lumin aries. "Dangerous Money" shows at the Castle today for the last times.

GOOD ACTS ARE HERALDED Bill Western Vaudeville Has New For Hellig Wsdnotday Western vnudeville la stesdily gain- 'hig in- popularity, and every bill is liked by everyone. 'Ine mme ot r.u gene audiences, and tho warm recep tions 'they give is spreading to the aelorn long before they arrive here, and they nro always ready with their best All acts are of the high qual ity maintained by the Orpheum and Keith circuits.

Jack and Jessie Gibson, an extra ordinary clover man and woman team of artists, prosent an offering called "A Cyclo of Smiles and Thrills." It Is a marvelous unicycle act enlivened with a running fire of witty dialogue and comment. Dolly Dumplln, "The Little Runa way," Is heralded as vaudevillo's hig hest little star, as versatile as she is cute, for in addition to her abu ity to sing and dance, she is an ex ceptlonnl mimic. -Her wardrobe is goregous enough to create envy in the hearts of many of her older com patriots. LINCOLN FILM IS COMING Sensational Picture Play to be at Rex In Near Future "Abraham Lincoln," the picture which hns been the sensation of the movie world, ia announced as a First National picture, to be shown at the Rex theater in the near future.

These are tho principal figures in the remarknbly fine cast. "Abrnham Lincoln" was directed. by Phil Hosen. Frances Marion wrote tho scenario and supervised the editing.

Martha Petclle, Louis Morri son, Hughie Mnck, Anne Loekhart, Andrew Arbuekle and Willinm Mornn. The picture is one of the most tin usual ever used for a screen produc tion, a fact readily appreciated In considering Hint the novel wns first published In 11)14. scvernl years pre vious to Hutchinson writing "If Win ter Conies" nnd "Thin Freedom," both of which hare been made into internationally fnmniw motion pictures. Play's Origin Russian Victor Senstrom hns gone into the field of Russian liternture for his latest screen story, "Ho Who (lets Slapped," which comes to the Heilig theater soon. rVastroni, one of the foremost ac tors and film directors of Kurope, wns brough from Sweden nbo-it a year ago by the Metro-lJoUlwyn-May-er company. With "Name the Mnn!" his first production In this country, Soastrom won nation-wide commenda tion, and those who have seen his latest effort declare he fnr surpasses his earlier work with it. "He Who Gets Slapped" was adapted to the screen by Carey Wil son from the piny by Leonid Andre yev, which The New York Theater Guild produced ou the stags with Richard Bennett in the leading role. Its story is a dramstic, tragic, com pelling one, and its locale that of a European circus is rich in color and atmosphere, ... Doug's Big Play Coming What should prove a highly inter esting event, is the presentation of Douglna Fairbanks' Arabian Nights fantuay, "The Thief of Bagdad" at the Heilig soon. Have you elver seen a Magic Rug soar above the city bearing a Thief and a Princess? Have you - ever seen a white horse with wings fly through the Clods? Have you ever seen Magic ropes, talked of "Thief of Bagdad," starring Douglas Fairbanks. This is one of the really big productions of the sea son and has caused a furore wherever it has been shown. Evans & Hoey is the name style of a team scheduled for the Heilig in vaudoville this coming week. It is a good pair of names, as old-timers who remember the famous musical farce "A Parlor Match," of other days, will testify. Evans and Hoey In those days were stars of the first magnitude in their line. The present team Is of a younger generation.

Mr. McDonald is ar ranging the final details of the equip ment and furnishing of his fine new theater, and expects to have it in operation by early spring invisible" cloak? This beautiful story of romance and adventure abounds in bappenlngs of astounding and unbelievable magic. Until you see "The Thief of Bagdad" you can not believe It possible. It cannot be imagined. It cannot be described. It cannot be explained. It is a thing apart. T ' ; Tom Mix Is Coming. ' "Oh, You Tony!" a comedy western photoplay which the Rex theater has booked for an enriv date, is the fifty-second picture In which Tom Mix has been star red. This Is a record unsurpass ed by any living screen star. In fact it would take a mlnuto search to discover a single othur featured or starring , player who hns that many productions to bis credit for his entire enroer, no matter who the producer.

(Copyright by NEA Service) TEW YORK, Jan. 24 The Theater Guild's new "Processional" reaches for a bigb place among the most irritating, and the most ques tioned, discussed and defended of playa. It should easily bead the list of freaks. i The comic supplement gesture is ever present An impish thumbing of the nose intrudes in each big mo ment. Scarcely a character but is a cartoon, "A Jais symphony of American life" is its apt subtitle. A band is jazzing when tha curtain goes up. At the end when "Dynamite Jim," blinded and with tha curse lifted, re turns to marry the girl, the united couple sway their shoulders to the fading syncopstion. The setting is a combination of Mingo eonnty, W. Va, and Herrin, IU. The incidental detail includes coal strike, riot, bayon eting, rapine, burning and a Ku Klux clean-up. The life picture presented, even if warped, is pathetically accurate. Most accurate, it seems, in its tangle of colorful action and the bewilderment of its spectators! It copies life in its jeers at the heavy dramatics, its tense emotion in lowly interludes, its raw paBsion, its unwanted invincible circumstances, its pretense, absurd ity, bluntness and its disregard of all form. June Walker as Sadie Cohen cre ates the single illusion of complete reality. George Abbott does a most effective "Dynamite Jim." Donald MacDonald is an excellent jazzed newspaper reporter. John Howard Lawson, the author, was born in 1894 and spent several yeara studying in Europe. His play reeks of the well-known "Americana." "Isabel" is one of the brightest of domestic conversational comedies. Husband, wife and friend debate which' man she shall choose. Mar garet Lawrence performs delightfully. Given with T..,i..iw .

The ex ploitation of new screen personalities has the world's motion picture center in a ferment of competition. In Los Angeles there is an organization with a funny name the WAMPAS mean ing Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers.- Each year this gronp chooses a dozen so-called "baby stars to exploit into popular favor. This year there has been all sorts of hocus-pocusing to amend the original list, enlarge it, or put forward an other batch of unhatched starlets. The facts which loom above the situation, however, are summed up by producers and directors here in the following statement by Fred Datlg, who selects the people who play roles in scores of productions made at Universal City. "No amount of exploitation of a personality generally unknown to the public will put that personality over," says Datig. "Stars are 'made' by particularly impressive performances in good pictures, or because they typ ify a timely vogue. "Thus Mary Philbin canght the ob serving eye and interest of the public In "Merry-Go-Round'; thus Clara Bow rose to popularity when the flapper craze 'came in. Betty Compson, Lon Chaney, Noah Beery, Norman Kerry, Rockdiffe Fellowes, Margaret Liv ingston, a real 'baby star' even Val entino all rose to popular favor be cause the pnblic and not a certain group of individuals, chose them for a place in that public'a esteem.
