I reland Editor and Publisher Picture Show News, For The Current Week Elaborate sets, eloquent of lux ury; sets indicative of poverty; stunning gowns; beautiful women; fine acting by star and by supporting east. Such are the principal factors that go to make a great motion pic ture of'“Fifth Avenue Models," Uni versal-Jewel starring Mary Philbin. Other factors are fine photography, good direction and many intimately human touches, and of course, a good logical story. The little star in this picture demonstrates that she can be far from dehtyre if the occa sion demands it. “Fifth Avenue Models” is the screen version of “The Best in Life," a best seller written by Muriel Hine, and tells the dra matic love story of a girl supporting herself and father by working as a seamstress in the shop of a fashion able modiste. The love interest is be tween the girl and a young man of wealth who sees her at a style show where she is a mannequin.

The glamour of night life in the Metropolis of America. All staged elaborately before a background of rare beauty and charm. “ Madonna of The Streets ” Sunday Afternoon, September 6 “Madonna is a drama emotions; heart and of The Streets” featuring Nazimova and Milton Sills so mighty it will grip you in its sweep of torrentuous here is romance and love that will touch the hardest melt cheeks to tears. The Fighting Parson Starring Al Fergeuson, Frank Clark and Lucile Kraenick as sisted by many local Tygh Valley people. “The Fighting Par son” will give you an idea of how your own community looks in the movies. It is a rapid fire story of the West and was taken around the Tygh Valley and Maupin country and was first shown in the City Auditorium at Portland last June. Moro is the second place it has been shown in the state and from here it will be taken to the eastern part of the United States. “-Three Miles Out ” Thursday, September 10 “Three Miles Out” is a thrilling sort of adventure with much of that important element, suspense, and sufficient comedy. It has, as is obvious from its title, to do with bootlegging. But it has more to do with Miss Kennedy hanging on ropes, feet uj»on dizzy feet, above the ship’s deck, and fights and the frantic per suit of her by Bull Jorgen unshaven and ferocious. “ Frivolous Sal ” Friday, September 11 Probably many people will never be fortunate enough to visit Rainier National Park in Washington and marvel at the scenic beauties there; or to go through the picturesque mining country of the Couer d’Alenes in Idaho and see men gouging precious metal from the heart of the earth. But those who have never seen this with their own eyes may enjoy’ it just the same in watching J. K. McDonald’s First National Picture, “Frivolous Sal,” which will be at Moro theatre during Sherman Gounty Fair week. Mount Rainier, a gigantic peak mantled with per petual snow, rears its head above the little mining village where the action of the story takes place. Strongheart in “ White Fang ” Saturday, September 12 Strongheart the John Barrymore of Dog Actors—a fourfooted Edwin Booth that registers joy, grief, fury that gives in “White Fang”this thundering classic of the Alaskan snows the most A- mazing exhibition of canine histrionism, the most stunning reve lation of dog psychology ever shown on the screen. A smashing story from the now silent pen of Jack London laid amid the ice and snow and death dealing cold of the arctic regions, a frozen hell of desolation and mockery with love warming the souls of the stalwart.
