The Paramount Pictures Corporation
provides novel entertainment in pre-
senting two great stories as a combin.
alton feature. The 1.-TWO subjects cor
related in this unusual manner are
"Bootles' Baby" the world renowned
story by John Strange Winter. ano
"The Man oil the Case," by Grace
Livingstone Furniss, one of the great
est comedies from thespen of this noted
dramatist. The two stories include
every element of dramatic composition,
ranging from delicious comedy to
thrilling drama. "Bootles' Baby is
the story of a deserted child, who, to-
tally unconscious of the great good she
is performing, restores to her mother
the happiness that had departed from
her. Portrayed by Mimi Yvonne, the
famous child actress, 'Bootles' Baby"
will long live in the memory as one of
the most tender and sympathetic child
stories ever related on the screen.
"The Man on the Case" by way of di
verting contrast, is a farcicaI story of
a young millionaire who wishes to
marry girl who will love him for
himself and not his money. and senti-
mental romantic girl who determines
to marry only for love, regardless of
the financial standing of the man who
wins her heart. How the millionaire
and the girl meet, under strange cir
cumstances, and fall msdly in love with
each other, is humorously unfolded on
the screen. The combination of these
two widely differing subjects form a
feature of rare and diversified appeal.

In "Stolen Goods" her third vehicle
under the management of the Lasky
Feature Play Company, Blanche Sweet
is provided with the first truly emo
tionaf role which she has essayed under
this direction. In The Warrens OF
Virginia" as Agatha Warren, though
there are some moments of tense
stress, the character is essentially in
genous; in "The Captive" the atmos-
phere is essentially romantic; bui in
"Stolen Goods" both the character it.
self and the entire atmosphere of the
play is thoroughly emotional in the
good old sense of that term.
In this drama Miss Sweet, who is
maturing into young womanhood of
wonderful artistic pr0mise,is given full
scope to show just how deeply and
powerfully she can reach the hearts of
audiences. 1t is said that the big
scenes, in which this play abounds,
positively holds audiences spell bound
and bring tears of sympathy to the
eyes of all beholders.
Sunday and Monday
A rare treat is promised for the
movie fans of Hood River. For some
time past the management of the Elec-
trio has been endeavoring to secure the
film production of "Beulah," in which
Henry B. Walthall, who has been pro-
nounced the worlds greatest motion
picture actor. appears. The novel from
which this film was adapted is the work
of the late Augusta j. Evans, the bril-
liant southern authoress, and among
the fiction reading public "Beulah' is
as we'll known as Uncle Tom Cabin.
The film follows the original story in
every detail and Mr.. Wathall and his
associate players have made every
effort by their acting to preserve the
finely drawn characters of the book.
Mrs. Evans was one of the greatest
American writers of her time. All of
her works are skilful blending of the
romantic and the intensely human. and
Beulah is perhaps the greatest of her
works. The scenes o. this novel are
laid in old louisiana and the story of
the vicisstudes of Beuiah, the child of
sorrow. and the wrongs that almost
distracted the strange DR.. Hartwell, is
one of the strongest and most dramatic
tales to be found in American litera-
ture.
Miss Joyce Moore, the distinguished
English artist, was especially engaged
to play the part of Beulah, while Mae
Prestelle, Clifford Gray, Margaret
Nichols and several other well known
players appear in important roles
Tuesday and Wednesday

brated story has been made in typical

portant role in 1.-THE Spendthrift.

wilderingly beautiful interior settings
