'PUB week cloalnr tonight baa been
featured Willi bit evenla in the
theatrical world, and Kuneucans are
tired with excitement, but happy with
the treata they received.
Greateat of all, waa the openinit of
the new McDonald. One of the moat
beautiful theater on the Pacific
coast, sew and built for liuaene, of
fering; Gloria Hwanson in "Madame
Sana dene," the event waa a unlver
aal favorite. The picture, which, by.
the way, waa a coaat premier, waa
wall received, and the realization of
the fineness of the new theater left
a glow of happiness in the breasts
of those who have attended.
Bet In the daya of the French rev
olution, with the popular Gloria
Hwanaon In the title role, the vehicle
la one of the type that makes one
forget all but the theme at hand. The
beetle daya when Napoleon was in
power, coupled with the free-hearted
comedy furnished by Madame Hans
Gene, makes the picture a very like
able one.
But, while paramount, the opening
of the new theater waa by no means
the only big attraction of the week.
Mr, Gallagher and Mr. Khean, and
their Greenwich Village Follies, for
which Kugeneana waited so long,
came Tuesday at the Heilig, and moro
then fulfilled expectations. The of
fering moved swiftly, and happily
along, and rightfully earned the good
name It hae been parrying, from
the beautiful lleethoven Sonata to the
mirth-provoking pair with the slip
pery derby hat a, the whole produc
tion waa one of merit.
There wore motion pictures, too,
and vaudeville, to round out the
week. Last night the University of
Oregon juniors presented their Jun
ior Vod-Vll at the Hellir, and played
to a full house, They repent their
show tonight, It is worth while,

one of the few to be highly recom
mended, and all advunco notices have

atrong manner. The Mcllonald also
announces that a little while later

ami Norma Talmadge In "The Iady,"
two strong films, will be shown.
Dorothy Mackalll, a popular new

the clean comedy type, "Welcome
btranger," featuring Florence Vldor
and Dure Iavidsou, will be shown.

cates of western films will have their
inning, when ltuck Jonoa will play In
