THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON
THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13, 1923
OREGON "Red Lights."
LIBERTY "The Fair Cheat."
BLIGH Ichabod Crane in "Head
less Horseman." k
"Everything comes to him who
waits," according to the old max
im, and for once this came true
in the life of Will Rogers, who
plays the role of Ichabod Crane in
"The Headless Horseman," or
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,"
the scheduled attraction playing
at the Bligh today and tomorrow.
. It has always been, according to
Mr. Rogers, his desire to play certain-
roles or represent certain
characters in modern dramas. One
of these was "Macbeth." the other
was "Rip Van Winkle" and the
last was Ichabod Crane in "The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow." When
asked why he liked the first two
mentioned, Mr. Rogers replied in
his -own . inimitable way that he
always found that a person who
wasnot good-looking could al
ways make a bigger success when
hearily disguised.
Have you ever been the center
of a plot? If not. you should
surely see Wilfred Lytell, who is
the center of the plot In "The Fair
Cheat," at the Liberty today.
; While Lytell is the center of
the plot, he is not the "whole cen
ter of the Btory. The plotters.
Dorothy Mackaill and Edmund
Breese take their share of the pic
ture. The story concerns a beau
tiful girl, daughter of a million
aire and her wedding to a penni
less young man.
They plot to prove him true,
but all their plots threaten to mis
carry through some unfprseen hap
penings.- The girl ; gets herself
mixed up in a near scandal with a
Broadway troupe and an ambi
tious press agent, while the young
man thoroughly involves himself
with the police in an attempt to
prevent his future father-in-law
from being robbed.
The story is exceptional because
you cannot guess the ending. The
cast is exceptional because of the
care in their selection. The direc
tion is exceptionally good because
Burton King did it.
Boys' Chorus Hold Practice
Under the direction of Dr. H. C
Epley, the Sale mportlon of the
Whitney boys' chorus held another
successful rehearsal at the YMCA
last night'. Though the regular
business session was not held, it
was decided in the future to hold
rehearsals Ftidya night, instead of
Thursday night beginning next

Annual Open House
Plans are now being formulated
for the annual open house to be
held by the YMCA Tuesday, Jan- i
uary 1, afternoon and evening. A ,
c'onfmittee has been put in charge
of the program and is expected to j
meet within a few days to com-j
plete the arrangements. Carle
Abrams is chairman of the com
mittee. R. R. Boardman, physi
cal director of the YMCA, has
been working for several weeks in
getting some special numbers in
readiness. These plans will be
presented to the committee for its
approval. Open house last year
was attended by more than 2000
people, who thronged the rooms
all day and untila10 o'clock at
night. The program, in the main
will follow that of last year with
some marked improvements.

If you are suffering from ecze
ma or some other torturing, em-
barassing skin trouble you may
quickly be rid of it by using Men-
tho-Sulphur, declares a noted skin
specialist.
This sulphur preparation, be
cause of its germ destroying prop
erties, seldom fails to quickly sub
due itching, even of fiery eczema.
The first application makes the
skin cool and comfortable. Rash
and blotches are healed right up.
Rowles Mentho-Sulphur is applied
like any pleasant cold cream and
is perfectly harmless. You can ob
tain a small jar from any good
druggist. Adv.

Pendleton Woolen Mills
Leases Portland Building
Convinced that Portland i3 the
logical distributing center for the
products of its various factories,
the Pendleton Woolen Mills com
pany has taken a five-year lease
oa ft new building: that is to ;-3
erected solely for its occupancy on
ptooerty at the northeast corner
of Ninth and Flanders street3. and
owned by C. R. Davis of San Fran
cisco. When compleffd next spring the
building, which is to be a three
stcry and basement brick struc
ture primarily of the warehouse
type, will house the sales and of
fice headquarters of the compiny
for the entire Pacific coast.
Thenceforth the products of the
company's woolen mills in Eureka,
Cal., Washougal, Wash., and Pen
dleton will be cleared through th
home building in Portland and it
is expected that the increased ef
riciency resulting from the new
selling plan will be accompanied
by an increased output of woolen
goods at each of the mills.
C. P. Bishop of Salem Is prsi
dent of the Pendleton woolei
mills, and his sons are associated
with him in executive capacities.
The new building in Portland,
which will be erected under the
supervision of Strong & McNaugh
ton. is to cost nearly $40,000.
