HER HOBBY IS
BUTTERFLIES
GUdie Oolwell
(.'oldie Colwell, the clever lead
ing lady with David Horslsey's
comedy company at the new stu
dio adjoining the Bostock Jungle,
has a fad. Of course, nearly ev
ery "movie" actress has a fad,
but Miss Colwell has one that Is
decidedly distinctive.
Butterflies appeal to her in
such a way that she has gathered
a collection numbering thousands,
and they are of every color under
the sun. When out on location
Director Fahrney has to keep one
eye on Goldle and the other on
the scene he Is directing, for It a
butterfly crosses her vision the
leading lady forgets all about the
picture and makes a mul dash
for the object of her fad. No per
suasion will bring her back until
she has either captured the but
terfly or it passes out of her
reach.

"LITTLE DUTCH GIRL" RICH
IN PATHOS AND GOOD COMEDY
Not the least noticeable feat
ure about Vivian Martin's work
as an actress Is the fact that she
is equally at home In drama or
comedy. At the Liberty, where
she Is appearing in "The Little
Dutch Girl," she is called upon to
show emotion as well as gayety,
and draw upon her fund of pathos
as well as of humor. Needless to
say she Is equal to the demands
made upon her, and her portray
al of the character, "Little
Dutch," is one of the most fin
ished known to screendom. "The
Little Dutch Girl" is take from
Ouida's "Two Little Wooden

Marion Crawford's Immortal lite
drama, "The White Sister." This
is considered by critics the great
est picture yet produced. Viola
Allen, the wonderful, who played
"The White Sister" with such
great success on the legitimate,
stage, also plays the title role in
the photoplay, and ln tt make*
the greatest success of her won*

Miss Allen was captivated by'
the great dramatic possibilities

stirring tragedy of the White Sis 3

and she put her entire heart ana!

HAPPY LITTLE MARY PICKFORD
R ETURNS AGAIN TO COLONIAL
MOVIES ARE HERE TO STAY, IS
WORD OF WELL KNOWN MANAGER
I la lipin'iii i.i i. popular
movie man, who has taken over
the Liberty.
"Motion picture theaters are
here to stay. No matter what
kind of financial depression hits
the country, movie houses will
weather it. They are the one big
bet ln the amusement game."
E. L. Davenport, formerly of
the Lyric theater on lower Pacific
avenue, who returned a week ago
to become manager of the Lib
erty, Is enthusiastic over motion
picture theaters as the one per
petual amusement.
Mr. Davenport left Taooma 18
months ago at the head of a big
motion picture feature that was
traveling the country. Later he
became general agent and traffic
manager of a circus, from which
position he resigned to take the
Liberty management.
"I have had occasion to travel
all over the United States, and as
DRAMA AT THE
MELBOURNE
"The Woman Always Fays,"
said to be the season's photoplay
sensation, comes to the Mel
bourne theater today direct from
the famous New York Hippo
drome, where it appeared for a
four months' engagement.
This is the film that aroused
ao much comment through the
east, finally receiving the en
dorsement of the New York Fed
eration of Women's clubs.
Pretty Edith Hallow, tbe cele
brated Broadway star, Is featured
In this great emotional drama of
a woman's sin. It is a problem
play handled with dating, bat
carrying a fine moral lesson,
based on the quotation, "Woman
gtvee and forgives; mas gets ana
forgets."
;n result of my observation, I am
j rrank to say thnt while the bin;
I legitimate theatrical productions
jure not making a success (his
year, the movies are growing In
popularity all the time," says
Davenport.
"Butte is In the best financial
I condition of any city that I have
I visited. It is more prosperous
than any time lh the last 25 years.
| The demand for metal, caused by
the war. Is of course, responsible
for the boom."

Mary I'lokford—the Inimitable
.Mary- -is back in Taooma after
an absence of several months.
Mary comes to the Colonial in
a Paramount sterling feature,
"Rags." It Is said to be the
greatest film that the famous lit
tle screen star has ever acted In.
One of the big features of
"Rags" is that although Mary
I'ickford In the title rola begins
her career as the neglected and
abused daughter of a drunkard
and lives In rags, Bbc ultimately
becomes the wife ot a rich and In
fluential man. The story Is most
unusual ln that It Includes every
element of the drama, from board
comedy to a suggestion of trag
edy.
