Jackie Makes Hit
, In Rinehart Film
Jackie Coogan's picture, "Long
; Lire the King," the screen version
of Jttary Roberts RIneharfa norel.
gave Jackie a new hold upon his
-many admirers 4n Salem, and won
OTor him a host of new ones when
the picture opened at the Grand
theater last night.
Unusually beautiful settings,
plus an exhibition of dramatic in
, terpretatlon of the Juvenile star's
part that excells anything that he
has ever before done, make this
a truly wonderful picture and one
j "which promises io ; draw record
crowds to the Grand this week-
end.
f . One is not .dealing in unwar
; ranted superlatives In saying that
: Jackie has made a! name for him
self In a new role:In "Long Live
t the King." For the first time a
radical departure has been made
in the type of role that he portrays
1 as he appears as a royal princeling;
; and is constantly surrounded by
royal splendor. ,
Nor is there any exaggeration to
, the advance notices as to the rich-
l nest and splendor of the settings.
These and Jackie,' the story and
! the supporting cast round out a
t great and thrilling picture.

she appears in a dual role, of boy
and budding woman that give? her
an appeal that has never been ap
proached in her former productions-
"Little Old New York" Is a pho
toplay which holds a special ap
peal for every American, no mat
ter where he lives. One of the big
incidents in this picture is the first
trip of Robert Fulton's steamboat
the "Clermont," up the Hudson
river, amid the heots and howls
of derision of the thousands of
people lined up along the river.
Th.e first steamboat itself is shown
with historical accuracy and its
trip up the Hudson was detailed
much as it actually happened.

1 iJiOSE cooperation of social
4 1 . and official forces marks the
'latest offensive in the czm-pai-
fa against the narcotic drug evil.
Yc jirs f unceasing warfare have
n jt sufficed to even check it in the
1 Jvurcd States. Leaders in the move-
JQnt are now united in an ettort to
.bring about limitation of pojy
trrowmr and opium
and opium proouciion,
These things may tie none oniy uy
other nations, particularly Great
Britian, Persia and Turkey. So,
one angle of the new attack is to
arouse public interest here to the
knowledge that only in this limita
tion can real progress be made;
without this limitation the drug evil
cannot be abolished.
v According to figures' gathered for
the Secretary of the Treasury by a
special committee appointed to study
the narcotic drug problem tha
2,000,000 drug addicts in this coun
try consume more opium, heroin,
morphine and cocain than all the
nations of Europe combined. ;
Recorded importations of opium
for legitimate medical and scintific
use were a little more than 100.000
pounds a year shortly after the Civil,
War. They have now. increased to
more than seven-fold. Ninety per
cent of these importations are .caid
to reach addicts indirectly. The
chart does not cover the operation
of smugglers. It ir authoritatively
stated that the opium smuggled into
American searorts and across the
Mexican and Canadian borders have
Vale Salt company. Vale, to sell
stock in the sum of $6,800.
U. S. Grapples company, Port
land, to sell stock in the sum of
160.000.
Stout-Lyons Drue: company, to
sell s'ock in the sum of $100,000.

That the United States is not
hopelessly enthralled by the lure of
stimulants is shown by a survey of.
the less vicious drug and stimulant
field. Use of alcohol as expressed
in whiskey, beer and wine drinking
has decreased. Use of caffein, y
drug having definite pharmacologi
cal properties, as expressed in cof
fee drinking, has decreased in the.
last three years for which govern-;
men: figures are available. The
drug caffein constitutes 1.5 per
cent of coffee by weight Taking
this as a basis of computaton, cof
fee importations have dropped uffw
ciently to decrease caffein consump-
tion from 21,5,va pounas m
to 18.626.S16 pounds at the end of
1922. Tea tas shown a large de
cline in popularity, droppmgto a
per capita consumption lower than
at any time since 1830. ;
This tea situation is disturbing

ore cause for the recent "visit here
of Sir Charles Higham, represent
ing tea interests. .c r ' , .
