depletion of A. S. M. Hutchinson's
celebrated novel, is shown at the
Bijou theater. The picture is booked
for three days, commencing Tuesday.
In it are innumerable bits of English
life and interesting portrayals of
British habits and customs.
The courtroom at Tidborough,
where Mark Sabre is tried for the
death of Effie Bright, is an exact re-
plica of an English court of justice.
The witness box, jury box and pris-
oner's dock, which differ materially
from those used in the United States,
are exactly as may be found in the
eourtrooms of the United Kingdom.
The room that was built by William
Fox for the trial of Sabre is of i'm

sombre massiveness and scrupulous
fidelity to the appointments of the
British courts of justice.

THEATERS
WEIR

Love of extravaganza and gayety-
love of a clean life in the open air.
These two great conflicting forces
battle for supremacy in Paramount's
new production "The Call of the Can
yon" in which Richard Dix, Lois Viii
son and Marjorie Daw are featured.
The picture which comes to the Weir
theater for three days, beginning
Monday next, shows a phase in Amer
lean life Immediately following the
great war when the tendency towards
extravaganza on the part of Ameri-
cans was defeated by their love of
wholesome prosperity.
''The Call of the Canyon" was
adapted from the latest story by Zane
Grey, whose novels are among the
most popular in the United States.
It is the second Zane Grey story to
be picturized by Paramount. Victor
Fleming, the director, was in daily
consultation with Mr.. Grey during
the making of the picture. Heading
the supporting cast are Noah Berry,
Ricardo Cortez and Fred Huntley,
three actors at the top of their pro-
fession.
Lois Wilson plays the part of Car
ley and a dramatic scene follows her
arrival in Arizona. She wages a
battle of wits with Flo for the affec-
tions of Kilbourne. The bigness of
the spirit of westerners is shown in
the final dramatic scenes which are
of great power. The western scenes

PORTLAND COUNCIL

PORTLAD, April 1O.-The Port
land Central Labor Council has
changed its meeting night from Mon

was made because the Building Trades

consequently it was impossible for
delegates from these trades to at
tend both councils.

tween plain and wrap-around styles
and are ten to twelve inches from the

as a faultless model-an under-arm

figure and the picture tells its story
completely.
Although the suit shown here tells
the truth and nothing but the truth
about the tailored mode, 1t does not
tell the whole truth, for there are
other styles. They include longer
coats, with braid or other decorations,
