Portland. Ore, Sept 13-The word
"obey'' has retreated a step in the

STRAND--Mary Pickford In TESS OF
THE STORM COUNTRY" adapted
from the novel by Grace Miller White,
directed by John s. Robertson.
Miss Pickford Reappears.

The second feature OF the annual
Pickford- Fairbanks season on Broad
way wGs presented yesterday at the
Strand. 1t is Tess OF the Storm
Country" and is revival of one OF
Miss Pickford's earliest triumphs.
1t is unquestlonably a success, al
though not so emphatic or so legiti
mate as robin Hood" which repre-
sents Mr.. Fairbanks's contribution to
the annual output of this distinguished
family. Indeed, while Tess of the
Storm Country" is sure to be highly
profitable production, robin Hood"
is considerably more than that-in
fact, a sacces d'estiDte, as our Gallo
cousins would have it.
Tess of the Storm Country" is per-
formed with much grace, charm and
intelligence. Miss Pickford, herself, is
splendid; that goes without saying.
Jean Hersholt and Gloria Hope are
also effective, in less weighty roles.
The direction of John S. Robertson is
skillful and restrained at all times,
and Charles Rosher's photography Is
beautiful.
But all these talented persons rely
on the story, and this, II must be ad
mitted. is the fly which struggles
around in the ointment. Tess of the
Storm Country was proba bly, con-
sidered up to date drama when it was
first written, but It is way behind the
procession now. It's properties have
been in use too long and the tarnish
is bound to show.
Many many miles of perforated cell
luloid have flowed through the pro-
jection machines since Tess" was
first produced, and new generation
OF ideas has arisen This fact is evil
dent in the presen. treatment of the
piece. But a story cannot change
with the times-it can never be any
thing more than 1t was when first set
down on paper And Tess" is not the
sort of story which is great enough
to retain a semblance of youth over
any extensive period of time.
1t is old stufr-and therefore not
worth reviving. except as a bit of
palpable box Office bait.

Immigrant Ora ma.

The play anna Ascends" was seen
here for a brief period year or so
ago-and then vanished into that dim
limbo os forgotten dramas which is
generally known as Gains Warehouse.
1t has now returned. in shadow
form, and is on view at the Rialto
Alice Brady, it's original star. is in it
again. We venture to say that Anna
Ascends" as a movie is far better en-
tertainment than Anna Ascends" as
a play. The ponderous dialogue which
smothered its chances of success on
the stage has been replaced by more
eloquent action, and the result is sat
isfactory.
Alice Brady appears as Anna, a
Syrian immigrant girl, who -hecomes
involved with a gang of crooks. In
moment of extreme stress she stabs
one of them, and escapes. Later, when
she has become a successful authoress
her former shady associates return to
threaten her with the vision of the
electric chair.
However, it all turns out for the
best, and the ascension of Anna goes
merrily on.
Nita Naldi, Charles Gerard, Ed
ward Durand and David Powell pro-
vide competent support for Miss
Brady, and Victor Fleming performs
his directorial duties in commendable
fashion. A word must be said. how
ever, for Miss Br&dy's makeup, which
looks nore too well in some OF the
closest closeups. Her lips at times
seem to spill over on her chin.
