AT THE OLIVER

The role she is piven

"Till' WIUIV "Tho Wliij" is coming to tlie 0!i-r theater Sunday to remain for one week. 'Tin Whip" is rand one of the world's 1 iest motion pictures. One scene alone, that of the preat train wreck, was statrei! at an enormous expense, merely for this offer, it is claimed and it is said to he the hii?Kest and best train wreck yet seen in motion pictures. An automobile race and wreck is another bi feature: but. the h:-i:est feature of all the tiemendous scenes and events in this idsantic production is tho horse race. The scenes for this splendid event were taken at Saratoga, where tho highst racing events of thv world are pulled :Y, and the screen, it is slid, reproduces the intensity, the excitement and th- enjoyment of Saratoga with striking fidelity. The picture from start to finish has been staged on a reniarkaMy elahiate scale. The production was made by that genius of tlio sertM-n. Maurice Tourneur. and he is said to have excelled all of his previous efforts In this tremendously successful proiluctlon. An excellent

K n Ureal;

tf portray in this live iecl picture makes a bi demand upon both her dramatic and dancing ability, but .-he i-; fully equal to the demand. The story is that of the life led by one Ilroailvvay chorus i i 1 , .vho contrary to the popular theory that their life is made up of, midnight suppers with wealthy ami lavish admirers, is depicted as a model of self -sacrifice, decorum and prit, who even poes so far as to t;ie up the man she loves in order to secure hi.s happiness. Charles (lunn. well known locally, on account f his kadinp robs with the Wrihtlluntinton stock company, has tlie principal masculine part. The cafe backgrounds arc beautiful, artistic and very realistically pictured. Alma Taylor is the featured player in Monday's photoplay entitled "ir;v" which is adapted from the

: famous staye success of Sir Arthur

I'inero. The original drama id one that caused much discussion when Virginia Harr.ed created the title role in this country several years ago. The screen version has been put in tiie hands of one of motion Pictures most charmin.' and accomplished actresses. In many ways

me pi.tj is Mnm.n io i.nweoe naiter's "Tlie Uusiest Way," although , the I'inero version 1 this similar j theme is far more sentimental and 1 therefore better adapted for the ' screen. "Iris" udls of a woman who stru;-vles to remain true to idealistic Ioe in the face if desperate proverty. She lacks the strength to keep I up the fmht and the result is unhatopinoss for both herself and the j man she loves. Stuart Kom shares acting honors with Miss Taylor in j

this tive-act lrama. Haby Marie oborr.e is Tuesday's Lasallo star in "Tears and Smiles." another five-part comedy drama that gives her more than usual opportrnity to display her winning charm and r.atuialress. Tliis tiny star's irresistible appeal in even more dominating in this 1 i: vehicle than in her former successes. The story concerns a little ciil whose
