NO EXAGGERATION
IN GRIFFITH PICTURE

Many persons to whom details
of history are vague may see in
the new D. w. Griffith photoplay
Orphans of the Storm" a great
drastic epic, coming to the Ore
gon theatre next week, certain
scenes picturing events of the
French revolution.
During that period happened
the incidents Of the original play
upon which the picturewas found
ed, "The Two Orphans"
The scenes referred to are of
so wild and frenzied a nature that
the thought will project itself that
exaggeration was exercised to the
extreme as the dramatist's license.
Those incidents relating to the
dancing Of the Carmagnole are
most likely so to be stamped and
that these people pictured in vio-
lent barbaric dance are merely in
troduced in such orgies to create
quickened action.
Certainly, only the mind school
ed in the events Of those mad
times, or the student of humanity
informed of the limitless indul-
gences OF mob passions, will real
lie that 1t is not stretch of Mr..
Griffith's imagination that caused
him to direct his players actions
that they might be so pictured.
The scenes mentioned are CON
cerned with perhaps the strang-
est feature of the great revolution.
the dance of the Carmagnole. Mr..
Griffith pictures the mob in the
heights Of hysterical carousal,
dancing through the stretes in
files of men and women cavort-
ing like savages In the extreme
Of barbarfc dance frenzy, leaping,
laughing In maniacal
manner, horde ON horde swooping
through the streets Without direc-
ton or apparent intent save to
find space to direct their steps,
Old and young caper in frantic

to the spirit OF their
wild emotions, had adopted a
dress that matched barbaric i'm

thus yielded to the demoniacal

Pleasing Birthday Gathering

The home of Mrs. Lottie Kerr, at
Oxford street this city. was the scene
Wednesday evening of large gath
ering of young friends in honor of the
anniversary of her birthday.
1t was a red letter day in the life
OF Mrs. Kerr, who had planned very
quiet observance Of the day with a
few friends, not knowing that lit
tie bird'l had been busy to the con-
trary, and the morning mail brought
the first indication Of the fact by a
perfect deluge of beautiful postcards
OF every description which was
great and happy surprise.
The surprise did not end here, as
the evening brought friends in a
much larger number than had been
expected, which was certainly glad
surprise. Happily some preparations
had been made looking to entertain
ment beforehand, and the hours few
by quickly in social way with
music and story.
Some Of the more pleasing numbers
were the solos given by Miss Marion
Hodges with guitar accompaniment,
also Swedish folk songs by Miss
Edith Olson of Boston, who is a
guest of Mrs. Kerr.
Albert Pierce amused those pres
ent by telling a story in his usual
happy manner and the solo by Mrs.
D. w. Wright, and duet by Miss
Grace Pullen and Miss Olson were
very pleasing. Perhaps the most in
teresting and pleasing Of all the num-
bers was song by Henry Norris.
whose selection "Most Anything
brought down the house, also his en-
core in which all Joined heartily in
the chorus Roll the Old Chariot
Along" favorite of Mr.. Norris.
After the music the hostess and
guests repaired to the dining room
for refreshments. The dining room
was very pretty, the color scheme be-
ing red, artstically developed in
crepe paper, the work being done by
Miss Olson and Julian Beale,
Refreshments served consisted OF
hot coffee, fancy cookies and cake
the most prominent of all being the
birthday cake, made and decorated
for the occasion by Mrs. Kerr's moth
or. Mrs Clark. who is 70 years old.
Mrs. Kerr was the recipient OF
many beautiful gifts, and useful, also
money.
The friends present had very
good time, departing by auto at a
late hour, wishing their hostess many
happy birthdays to come.
