Mail Tribune 100: April 22, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 22, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Apr. 22, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News April 22, 1916 THE 'PENITENTS' AT THE PAGE TONIGHT It would be hard to find a more picturesque subject than that which is presented in "The Penitents," the D. W. Griffith picture play at the Page theater tonight. Around "The Penitents" is an interesting, compelling story, but even if the story were left out of consideration altogether the many beautiful, stirring and artistically produced scenes would make "The Penitents" a film worth seeing. One Griffith characteristic that was remarkable in "The Birth of a Nation" and "The Martyrs of the Alamo," is noticeable in this picture — all the people working before the camera seem actually to belong to the period when the drama was supposed to take place. Orrin Johnson has a difficult and unusual role, but keeps himself thoroughly in the spirit of the part and acquits him splendidly. Miss Seena Owens is an actress of much charm and ability. Ford Sterling who has men and women hurdling over chairs and tables and doing aerial stunts in the comedy hit, "The Hunt," is a scream as a colored groom. LOCAL AND PERSONAL The annual wholesale trade extension of the chamber of commerce of San Francisco has planned an extensive trip into southern Oregon to be made next September. In character it will be similar to that made last year, only the itinerary will cover a much greater mileage and many more towns will be included in the stops. Seventy-five wholesale houses of San Francisco have already signified their willingness to have representatives in that party and eventually the list will exceed 100. The following towns will be visited by these trade-getters: Marshfield, North Bend, Coquille, Myrtle Point, Bandon, Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass, Roseburg and Eugene. Many of these places find San Francisco their most available distributing point. G. Y. Harry passed through Medford today on his way to Grants Pass, where he will organize a Woodrow Wilson club tonight. He was pleased to learn that the Wilson club of this city is rapidly reaching the 200 mark in membership.
