ed appealing, the general run of mo1
tion pictures In Eugene during the
past week proved rather mediocre.
The coming week, however, will bring
a variety, so that every taste may be
pleased.
The Sex will open a three-day run
on Monday with "The Golden Bed,"
featuring Lillian Bich and co-starring
Vera Reynolds, Warner Baxter, Tno
dor Koaloft and Julia Faye. It is a
Cecil B. Do Millo production.
The Heilig will feature vaudeville
and comedy during the fore part of
the week, with motion pictures for
the windup.-
This week came the announcement
by the Heilig management that the
Brandon Opera company had been
billed for a three-day stay in Kugene,
February 10-21. "The Bohemian Girl'
will be one of the features of the of
tarings of the company. Tito. Pen
nington, soprana, takoa the part of
Arline.
"The Bohemian Girl" is one of the
most popular opera offerings ever
written, and lis presentation is al
ways greeted with approval. '
Another announcement of unusual
interest this week was made by the
Bex theater management, when it
was made known thot ''Peter l"sn,"
featuring Betty Bronaon, would be
here soon. Tbe: production haa been
lauded throughout the country by the
leading critics, and will undoubtedly
prove yie of the most popular of the
season's offerings in Eugene.

"A New Find" is the Hex announce
ment for a prolog to "The Golden

character proves a complex study.
The whole theme la a mystifying
problem, and contrary to most of
Alias Itohson's plays, she does not
take the part of one whose own de
sires are overpowered by ner love for

the coming of two of the greatest vo
rhlles of the year, Douglas Fairbanks

films will come this month, and, while

, son's own piny, at the Heilig l'eb-
friary 17, is full of life, love, mystery
! and fairly bubbles with the spontan
eity of comedy and jiouth.
MIsh Itobson lias taken a good deal
of her play from actual iiicideutN in
real life, and with the original com
edy sho is blent with. "Something
Tells Me" is a real "liobnurienquc''
production, overflowing with natural
humor and clever situations.
AH of Miss Itohson's plays have
been written by woll-kuown authors
but so far none of Ibem have given
our versatile star such opportuuiticfl
to display her delightful comedy and
also her hifdrKfii' capabilities, as
her own play.
".lane Meredith," the character
Mifts Hob son plays, is a complex
study and the whole theme from be;
ginning to end is a mystifying prob
lem. We always expect Miss Itobson to
play a part in which her own nature
end depires are overpowered by hor
love for others, but in "Smnething
Tolls Me" ".lanp" looks out for num
ber one and with all the love matches
going on she gets the notion, too, and
what enn be sweeter than the true,
pin e love nf a woman in middles life.
There is a Psychic touch trough-
out the whole play, which borders on
mystery but nothing of, the gruesome
nature, nnd at the present day when
there is such a psychical trend, it is
more than iip-todnte and until the
final curtain drops, the solution is
not found.

VEYV yOUK, Feb. 7. The old
motivation in sex comes aroun-1
agJiu in two new plays of the weok,
after a month or so of openings iu
which the mainspring lay in utJir
emotions.
The plays are "The Depths" and
"The Stork.
In spite' of the presence of this
valuable box-office element, neither
got off to more than a mode ram
start. ."The Depths" cramps its pos
sibilities by a sentimentality wbh.di
would make Its sinning iKith inno

nearly topples over backwards in
lenning away from what could he as
sumed as prudery or provincialism.
Neither in able to attain either the
brightness of 'Tiie Firebrand," or
the coarse realism of "Ladies of the
Kvening" or to approach the senti
mental nppenl which inhered in the
ancient "Comille."
Miss .lane Cowl is the beautiful
and unfortunate lady in "The Dep
ths." It is her first play since her
triumphs in "Borneo nnd Juliet" nnd
is, as announced, an entirely new type
of ihing for her.
The ('ami I In '.heme is conspicuous
in this tier man piny. Miss Cowl ;.s
Anna is a professional of the prim
rose path, her mother before her
having been the same. She is, how
ever, entirely sweet nnd innocent in
other respects.
A young musieinn comei in Ih"
person of Rollo Peters. He adores
her and installs lier in bis own quar
ters. There is a scene between hr
and his mother, but Anna wins. The
musician insists upon Anna remain
