fourth consecutive appearance
Of M. Grub Bellamy and George
Cullom. Wilfred Potter has
played in the last two, while
Douglas Dunford was the new

much alacrity, and the crowd
seemed greatly satisfied.
The feature part of the even
ing's program was two solos
rendered by Misses Leona Long
and Elizabeth Ashurst. Hello
Sweetheart, I Love You," was
sung by Miss Ashurst. Miss

the closing song of the minstrel

from the audience.

gave a short sketch after the
minstrel. Itswas a scene around
a cabin in the south shortly af-

THE BARRIER" BY
REX BEACH WILL BE
SHOWN AT MAJESTIC

THE Barrier" by Rex Beach, opens
at the Majestic theatre today on it's
initial engagement in Boise. 1t re-
Gently closed to one of the most sue
cessful runs ever enjoyed by a special
super photoplay production in the Pal
ace, Chicago. It's engagement on
Broadway, New York, was marked by
the most lavish praise from the press
and public.
Rex Beach, it's author, personally SUI
pervised the production and he trans
ported his star to Alaska and on that
wild frontier, amidst the glaciers and
snow wastes of the north he filmed
the seasons greatest attraction. The
types and characters, the entire at
mosphere is genuine to the smallest
detail. No picture has occupied so
much painstaking care and so much
effort on the part of it's makers. THE
Barrier is too well known to relate
its story, but the fact that it is a
northerner. that its story deals with
the prospectors, trappers, traders, gam
blers and frontiersmen of the day
when the gold rush to the Klondyke
was known as the gold fever" and
every one had the desire to hit the
trail. Gripping and compelling as the
original novel and stage play was the
screen even attempts and succeeds in
becoming more SO. 1t offered oppor-
tunities unheard of, and advantages
that the legitimate play could not real
ize.
As for the cast, one could say much
Mitchell Lewis, playing the "vagabond
of the north" 'Poleon Doret, leaps into
sudden fame as a portrayer of diff
cult character parts. Mabel Juliene
Scott, as Merridy, achieves much, and
Victor Sutherland as the army lieu
tenant acquires honors that would be
envied by any performer.
Back of the rapid action and thrill
ing tale, lies a sweet love story that is
entirely characteristic of Rex Beachs
stories. He has brought into play all
the tender emotions and affections
! that young manhood and young wom-
anhood enjoys, he has displayed an in
finite knowledge of the joys and heart
aches of love and told it in a charm
ing manner.
A splendid musical treat awaits low
ers of harmony and melody, for a spe-
| cial score, the one used In the New
! York Hippodrome, has been arranged
for the Wurltzer. Its adaptation was
perfect and has received high favor
from several eastern musical circles.

PICKFORD IN
PATRIOTIC PLAY AT
THE STRAND TODAY

As an attraction extraordinary, the
Strand theater announces the en-
gagement of the new Mary Pickford
picture, The Little American" con-
ceded to be the greatest patriotic mes
sage ever seen on the motion picture
screen. Staged under the personal di-
rection of that master of screen craft
Cecil b. DeMille, this production, it is
generally felt, surpasses even the Won
derful achievement of former efforts.
Popularity known as Americas
Sweetheart Miss Pickford presents
particularly fitting characterization in
the title role of this new Aircraft pic
ture. Presenting a story of especial
timely theme by Mr.. De Mile and
Jeanne Macpherson, this production, it
Is promised. will bring home most eff
fectively, conditions involving the pre-
sent great war. Stirring views of re-
markedly spectacular war scenes, both
on land and sea, are pictured in the
most modern manner of pohtoplay
technique.
As Angela Moore. the little American
girl who braves the dangers of the war
zone. Our Mary" appears in what is
readily though to be the greatest dra-
matte effort Of her career. In scenes
that demand much of her histrionic
finesse she offers a portrayal that is
unlike anything hitherto given to the
screen by this famous little actress.
In the production of 1.-THE Little
American, various we'll known auth
critics on conditions evidenced across
the ocean, have collaborated with Mr.
De Mile. with the result that even the
most minute detail has been pronounc-
ed perfect. Again the combined arts
of Mary Pickford and Cecil B. De
Mile have been linked together in the
cause of the photoplay and judging
from advance reports, this production
will go down in motion picture history
as one of its greatest works of art, as
well as one of it's most powerful ap-
peals.
