Tense drama, splendid climaxes and a story that stirs the heart strings are the dominant features of Gloria Swanson's new Para mount picture, "Under the Lash,' which will be shown at the Oregon theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The scenes are laid in South Africa and the at mosphere is highly romantic. A story said to be authentic in the main, of how it happened that the Grand Canyon in Arizona was selected for the principal setting of Tom Mix's lateit Fox thriller, "Sky-High," has just come to light.

The monarch Is said to have remarked that she was "one of the twe most graceful women I have ever beheld. Ehe has auburn hair and violet eyes. of a dare which the intrepid star was quick to take up, so the story goes. It seems that when Tom Mix visited New York last summer to attend the Dempsey-Carpentter battle, he remarked at the Fox studio, jokingly, that h'd used up most of the wild scenery in Amer ica for pictures. "How about the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls, Tom?" asked one of the company officials. "Say, I've got a good horse and a couple of goou tout legs, but 1 haven't noticed any wings sprout ing yet," he murmumed. "Not afraid, are you Tom?" "Afraid? I should say not." "Well, I dare you." Tom Mix never refuses a dare. And now, several months after the conversation, out he comes in a picture that even made Mr. Fox ga3p for breath, for the star rode throug Granw Canyon in an air plane, rode Tony, his horsa, up and down its dizzy trails, 1 eapen across a chasm 2,000 feet deep, ind then plunged irom a 'plane into the Colotado River from a height. Ihe picture will be shown at the Oregon theater next Sunday. The appeal ot "Just Around the Corner" is irresistible. The story is one of those which, because of its human qualities, impresses itself indelibly upon the mind and affects the emotions by its con vincingness and power. Like "Hu moresque," the locale is an hum ble one and the characters are typical of their environment. Hut the love of a mother for her chil dren is a human sentiment which finds beautiful expression in the hovel as well as in the palace, so that in this respect, the sent.ment in "Just Around the Corner" will exert a universal appeal.

EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE Reply to Journal Editorial Editor Statesman: What's the matter w th us all? Isn't it peculiar that the editor ot the Capital Journal should be so embittered aga'nst the ex-rcrvic men also. I wonder if it could be his conscience hurts him that many mere kids and a lot of men much older than himself died fighting for their country while he waved his flag. Can it be that h3 does not know that practically all government employes who stayed closer to home In safer jobs have been rrantod and paid a bonus this long time. All the poor baseball players and movie heroes of ship yard fame have been attended to Even the railroads cam? around for "s3conds." Why' all the dys peptic yowling then when the government considers those who served right. The men who hired out to do the'r bit and die if need be for a dollar a day should and will be jrven consideration ands soon ni spite of dirty politics and dirty editors. Can it be that all tho men and - institutions that have been jump -! ed onto lately by the Capital Jour- nal ed'tor are as wrong as he says. Particularly labor unions and ex-service men. Hardly, as they say in the army, "Let's se his meda's." Let's hear his war or peace timo record and let's see a layoff in this anti-soldier abuse Signed; Inf. Pvt. 30 months lately.
