For the Love of a Woman
and to Avenge a Friend
The great motion picture classic,
“Scaramouche,1 adapted by Rex In-
gram from Sabatini's novel of that
name, has been making remarkable
runs In metropolitan points. It cre
ated a sensation In Portland at the
Blue Mouse. It will be here next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Scaramouche" will appeal more gen
erally than did “The Hunchback of
Notre Dame," for It la a picture that
will interest the children as well as
the elders.
Ingram, from all accounts, has sur-
pasaed his production of “The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse” with
this picture.
"Scaramouche” la a story of the
French Revolution. It tells the ro
mance of Andre-Ixiuls Morean (Ra
mon Navarro) and Aline de Kercadiou
(Alice Terry).. Andre-Louis has been
brought up as a ward of Aline's uncle.
The Marquis de la Tour d’Axyr (Lew
is Stone), a haughty aristocrat and
■nan of fashion, killed Andre-Ixiuls'
friend, Philippe, because of his revo
lutionary sentiments, and qn the Mar
quis Andre-Louis has sworn eternal
vengeance. To make matter» worse
(he Marquis is courting Aline.
Andre’s seditious speech« cause
him to be sought for the gallows, aud
in escaping from the pursuing gen
darmerie, he Joins a strolling band of
players and becomes Scaramouche, the
clown. Bitterness against Aline leads
him Into an affair with' the leading
lady of the troupe, but he ends this
when the girl accepts attentions from
the Marquis.
Skilled tn fencing. Andre-Louis
Miifeau is persuaded to become sub
stitute deputy In the National Aasem-
lilKpf France for a deputy who was
killed in the scries of duels brought by
the aristocrats against the people's
representatives. In a duel with I<a
Tour d’Axyr. that is the culmination
of his activities in the Assembly.
Andre-Ixiuls wounds the Marquis, and
Andre's misunderstanding of Aline's
actions after the duel further widens
the breach between them.
The fires of rebellion among the
lower and middle classes of Paris are
finally fanned Into open revolt. The
liatriot Danton (George Hiegmann)
leads tiic mob to the Tulllcries, where
the monarchy is overthrown. The
Marquis escapes from the massacre at
(lie Tuileries, and seeks shelter at the
house when* also Is Aline, who lias

Andre-Louis Moreau was born with the
gift of laughter and a seose that the world
was mad. His laughter mocked his enemies
and his madness inflamed the world. Not
in all the pages of fiction is there such a
glowing dare-devil character as that of this
young scion of the nobility who became
Scaramouche, the clown. Not in the history
of motion pictures has there been such a
production as
