CAMERA ACTING
IN THE MOUNTAINS

When "The Silent Battle" is exhib-
tied at the Hauber theatre tomorrow
in beautiful Bluebird photoplays, the
spectators will behold vistas of some
of CALIFORNIA; scenic glories, plus the
friendly actions of nature in sending
elements to lend the required realism
to several of the scenes. The Blue
bird photoplayers spent three weeks
among the Guyamac mountains, sew
enty miles east of San Diego, in
gathering scenes to represent the
Canadian woods where considerable
of the action in "The Silent Battle
is presumed to take place. Immense
trees and rocks, with abundant YER
dure and brooks tumbling down
rugged ravine provide the settings
and the deather did the rest In the
piece a driving storm is presumed to
drencn to the skin the hero, in order
that the heroine may feed him copi-
Gus draughts from her pocket-flask
and renew within him the inherent
appetite for liquor that he had man
aged to subdue. Not only were there
several heavy lain stor3s. tat snow
and to Californians snow - al
most as great a rarity AS false teeth
in the mouths of Plymolth Rock
chickens. But the Bluebird camera
actors climbed to the peaks of the
mountains, going up to the snow
which refuses to come down to the
verdan valleys. ]. Warren Kerrlgan
Lois Wilson, Harry Carter, Mauc
George, Ray Hanford, and J. f. Con
molly will be the principal players IN
"The4 Silent Battle" and their efforts
will have added forcefulness in the
truthful scenic equipment nature has
so OPPORTUNITY provided for the
rugged and exciting episodes.

ORPHTO THEATRE.

Following on the release Of "Pus
pets of Fate" comes "Tho, Tight Rein"
the second of the two-reel dramas re-
leased On the Pathe program under
the head title, who's Guilty and
shown at the Orpheo theatre Tuesday.
Miss Anna Lilsson, who is featured
with Tom Moore in this series. and
whose classical beauty has been the
subject of much comment in and out
of film circles, is particularly adapt
ed to these dramas of startling real
ism, for she is native ST andina
Wan and so heir to the selfsame
racial conditions that helped produce
Henrik 1bsen, August Etrilberg,
Bjornson Bjornsterne, etc. Tom
Moore, her co-star and one of the
famous Moore family of motion pic
ture actors, plays we'll opposite Miss
Nilsson, for his, is the natural care
free, joy-bubbling temperament that
in reality usually attracts and is at
tracted by the deep and morbid.
"The Tight Rein tells Of two
wealthy mil-owners, one with high
strung son and the other with a high
minded daughter-who wish to per-
petuate the union of their factories
through the mating of their children.
Now the son of the one man respects
the daughter of the other, but there
his interest in her ceases. ne kVaa
one of his fathers mil hands, ana she
one of the minor employees in her
| fathers place. In "The Tight Rein
| Tom Moore plays the part Of the son
and Anna Nilsson the role OF the mill
| hand. When heLmarries as his fatAer
wishes him to, he is to become a
partner in the joint factories. The
girl, however, has no escape from
the deadly struggle for existence ex-
cept marriage; and her ideals of mar
riage forbid this step for selfish
purposes.
When the fathers discover that
their plans are likely to be thWarted
the girl not only is discharged but
she is black-listed in the town. Yet
she and her mother are dependent
solely on her meagre earnings. me
son is tied ever more closely to de-
pendence on his father by having
even his small allowance stopped.
Here is fertile ground for rebellion
and rebellion there is. The girl
goes to a nearby city where she be-
comes one of many of kind. The
son searches for her, finds her. and Is
alone with her for but a moment
when the man she is dependent, on
rushes in, and misinterpreting thell
meeting, shoots both.
The line "Who's Guilty?" which fol
lows is particularly pertinent to this
theme and will cause much specuiia'
ton in the minds of movle-folk VINO
heretofore have had but little incen'
tive to thought. -.
