PARTICULARLY strong drama 'With Portland girl In the stellar rols and another Chaplin picture are the' big attractions which will be offered -by the Majestic beginning this afternoon. The Chaplin Is the much looked fer two-reel Essanav film entitled "Police." This tells of the trials and' tribulations of Chaplin beginning with his release from prison and getting "trimmed" of 15 by the prison chaplain. Charlie turns burglar but meets poor success owing to the audible way In which he "burgles." Those Who have seen private exhibitions, say Every one has a secondary occupation, as every one has a subconscious life. If he hadn't pursued the vocation that became his, he would have adopted another as much, or more, to his liking, says a writer in the Theatre Magazine.

Sometimes lie has abandoned that profession for his permanent one because it was less profitable, because, to use the brutal phrase of so great earn my living," she told me, while she was playing in "Captain Jinks," with a shade of the sullenness with which we accept what is given to us rather than that which we would have chosen. Frank Daniels elected, and was elected by family vote, to be a dentist. With the hearty concurrence of all the family, he became an office boy for his brother-in-law, a prominent Boston dentist.

While i his brother-in-law went to the reel has a larger amount of real humor and less slapstick comedy than "many, of his past pictures. The feature drama Is "A Canillle of the Barbary Coast." It is a Mutual masterpiece based on the story "The Overcoat," and it deals with sociological conditions. Rhea Mitchell, who wag born and grew up In this city, is featured' and her opportunity for dra-i matic effort may be realized from this story of the play: Maurice Norton, black sheep son of fa wealthy family, steals through Infatuation for a designing woman, and lg sentenced to prison. On his release he returned to the city and, driven 'weight in the world of actualities, "he I couldn't make his living at it." Whatever the reason, it Is to that occupation that his thoughts turn sighingly in moments of dissatisfaction with the conditions of his present pursuit or with its rewards. There is always a something he would have been if he hadn't been what he is.

So the dress rehearsal had to wait until a tailor could turn out the clothes fit for the Daly king to wear.

Of the film, one of New York's mont prominent reviewers said: "True. In the dramatic situations, In his hand-to-hand battle with the emperor of crooks, there Is a tense ness of action that grips the onlooker but under it ail is the perpetual calr reserve and clear mental cognlzanc of the situation so characteristic Sherlock Holmes as painted by Conan Doyle and made into a eta' character by William Gillette."
