Billie Burke's new Paramount
Aircraft picture, sadie Love-,
which is at the Ditmas theatre FRI

emony n French countess, an old
fame of the husbands. rushes upon
the GENE, followed by h brides

and 1t seems at n point that no
less n person than President Wilson
will have to be called in to adjust
However, pretty Miss Burke
proves highly satisfactory as an ar
bitter and the young couple start
upon their delayed honeymoon.
Miss Burke is her w delightful

GRIPPING FILM PLAY
COMING To THE STRAND

A gripping story of a country girl
who longed for the a life ana
white lights of the city, and a man
who was tired of them all and crayed
the peaceful life of the countryside.
Is told in forbidden" the latest
Universal Jewel production, In which
Mrs. Charlie Chaplin mildred Har-
ris) has the leading role.
The story itself was written by 4.
V. During, put in scenario by Lois
Weber, one of the foremost women
producers in the country, and was
directed by Lois Weber and her hus-
band, Phillips Smalley.
Miss Weber is a sort of a fairy
godmother to many of the screens
most popular favorites, among whom
is Mildred Harris. Miss Weber was
attracted by the girls beauty. She
saw the immense possibilities of her
talent for acting during some of the
smaller pictures In which the girl
had taken parts. The result was
hat Mildred Harris was chosen to
star In a Universal production. She
was on the stage n the
speaking medium had nothing to do
with molding Miss Harris for pic
lures.
The story Of forbidden" smacks
of the old myth Of Pandora who
opened the forbidden box and let
loose all the troubles Of the world.
In the photoplay Mildred Harris has
the role of Maddie Irwin, q simple
country girl. She meets q young city
man, surfeited with the emptiness of
metropolitan life and marries him.
They live in the country, much to
the girls disappointment. Finally
her longing becomes so strong hat
in order to satisfy the girl her hus-
band takes her to the city in an at
tempt to sicken her of the life there.
The result almost ends in disaster.
but the telling OF the story makes
one of the most interesting photo
plays of Miss Harris career. Henry
Woodward plays opposite the star,
and Fred Goodwin Is in the support
ing cast. forbidden" will be shown
at tho Strand theatre Monday.

Belief. That Center Abost Pearls.

Many superstitious beliefs prevail In
the East concerning pearls, those gems
of the ocean deeps. For instance. 1t
is a common practice (only among the
rich, needless to say) to powder a pearl
and swallow 1t either as a tonic for
failing vigor or TO ward of impending
disease or Ill luck; or a maiden may
rub her eyes with a pearl and there
after. by merely gazing at a man. she

Siverton Wants
To Collect Coin
Due on Railroad

Siiyerton, Or, Aug. 1o--At the ad-
journed meeting of the city council
held last evening the street railway
franchise, which has been source of
annoyance to the council for several
years, came up for discussion among
other things. The sidetrack from the
Southern Pacific depot running
through tie center of Water street to
the F'ishcher FIGURING Mills, is main
tanned by right of franchise costing
500 per year. While the Southern
Pacific people own the track, by some
contract or agreement this cost is met
by the milling company
Several years ago a previous council
regarded the cost exorbitant and grant
ed a reduction Of 800 per year, but
the franchise had not been apepaled or
amended. 1t finally developed that
nothing had been paid on the franchise
since 1918 and now the mayor and
council propose to collect from the
Fischer company $500 per year for
S1918, 1919 and 1920. There seems to
be some confusion as to what date the
money had been paid and before the
matter can be properly settled the
council must determine to the satisfac-
tion OF all parties concerned the exact
amount due the city. Mayor Adams
II firm in the opinion that Fischers owe
$500.
