CHARLES RAY AT LIBERTY THEATRE Popular Actor Pleases Audi ence With "Alias Julius Caesar" Charles Ray will be the attrac tion at the Liberty theater in bis latest picture "Alias Julius Cae sar." distributed by First Nation al, ; for .three days commencing Monday. The film, taken from Richard Andres, story, , is de scribed as a first class comedy. Ray plays the role of Billy Barnes, country clubman. He Is supported by Barbara Bedford in the leading feminine role, a dainty actress who has been rising ra pidly towards the film, constella tion. Included in the , splendid cast that has been assembled is Eddie Grlbbon, known to film fol lowers for his able portrayal of strong arm parts. Ia "Mack Sen nett's productions. The action puts Ray in a piti able plight when his clothes are stolen as he is taking a shower after golf. The theft is part of a plan to keep him from attending the country dance and, inciden tally, from meeting his girl that evening. To foil the schemers the star is forced to don a sheet, steal a racing auto and race for home. In such a plight he attracted the attention of the police and his satirical replies 'to the -questions put to him support .the conclusion drawnfromr his denuded appear r nee. that he is out of his mind. With . such . an impetus the story breezes along, the fun growing In the same ratio as a rolUbg snow tall until a . final climax provides thrills and laughters and , enables the star to turn the tables on his rival in a highly humorous man ner. . : XI3ERTY . vLvVjiJ STARTING TOIHORROW IN 'Alias Julius Caesar" STBEART IS HERE OiE MORE Popular Canine Actor Will Delight Animal Lovers at f Oregon Theatre ...... : J Strongheart. tlie wonder dog; starring in his latest First- Na tional picture at the Oregon thea ter, Btartiog Friday, is proving one of the greatest . attractions which has been shown in months ia - a local motion picture house. Since the release of his first picture, about two years ago, Strongheart has been one of the most popular stars on the screen, and his cur rent production' seems to hit the fancy of every one. Perhaps it is because "The Love Master" is no' a starring vehicle within the meaning of the descrip tion In motion picture circles. Strongheart is undoubtedly1;, the leading member of the cast by right of the ability he displays, but the picture was' not built ' up around him. " The story is the main consideration,' and because Strongheart has plenty of things to do and does them In'-splendid fashion he gains recognition as the star. But evidently he is not Jealous, for he seems . pleased to share honors with Mrs. Strong heart, registered in the' American Kennel club annals as Lady Julie, and five sons and daughters of his as well as an extensive human cast lncldlng Lillian Rich and Harold Austin. '.The Day of Faith" ; . At Liberty Theatre A photoplay which Is far. out of the ordinary in the tenseness of Its drama , and In the emotional response which it will arouse from the public; is the Ooldwyn pictpre, "The Day of, -Faith," directed by Tod Browning,, from the novel by Arthur Somers Roche. It will be the attraction ot the Liberty theater for three days beginning Tuesday. : . i v ;. . The story is one that attracted great attention and aroused much discussion when it was published serially in Collier's Weekly. -and LAST TIMES TODAY'"1 (Mi : Charles Ray in "Alias Julius Caeser" at Ijiberty Monday It. had big sale when published in book form.. Its influence was so great that the governor ot Ar kansas, after having read it, pro claimed a "day of faith" through out that state. It has been adapt ed to the screen by June Mathls, editorial director for Goldwyn. who prepared the continuity for "Ben Hun," which Goldwyn is now producing, andi for "The Four Horsemen" and "Blood and Sand." .- The story concerns peiple who are very 'human in their charac teristics and are akin to the aver age person in their beliefs, actions and emotions. Its appeal for the public is based upon this. "1 PLEASING SHOW Setting for This Production Was Laid Among the ; "Apaches" of Paris ' In tils latest Fox production, "A Man's Mate," John Gilbert has found a role' much to his liking, that of a French artist who lives for a while among the Apaches of Paris. That part of Gilbert's an cestry which is not Irish goes back to the. French Huguenots, whose wanderings and misfortunes form a part of ;early American history. ' ' Moreover, Gilbert has proven himself capable of interpreting French characters. His. parti tn "Monte Cristo" was a portrayal that distinguishes- him as an actor of unusual ability. Later, playing a. dual .."role in "Honor First," Gil bert again proved' his adaptability by enacting the parts of two brothers in the French army. So th'at when he comes to the Liberty screen for two days, start ing Friday, film enthusiasts will find him completely at' home in his part. . ,, , , . . Dick Barthelmess Finds Hard Role Ever since Dick Barthelmess played the part of the .Chinaman in "Broken Blossoms" moving pic ture fans, have wanted to see him in a character role. They are gratified at last In "The Enchant ed Cottage," which is now being shown at the Oregon theatre. In this picture Dick plays the part of a crippled, shell-shocked veteran of the Great War. For over two weeks Dick expe rimented with makeup before he obtained the proper effects for his present role, u As he explains it. the difficulty lay In the fact that although his character wears the clothes of a young man and is sup posed to have all the desires of a young man for life, he must por tray with his face only the Wtter, unhealthy moods of a chronic In- valld." . ' - " - -. "If I could wear rags, this part would be easy," Dick said. "But it took me a long time to adapt myself to a limping gait; twisted shoulders and the dull stare of a sick man.' 4 '':r : ' . iT - Incidentally, May McAvoy also plays a character role in ''The En-r chanted Cottage," an Innovation for May, who has never deviated much from ' straight parts in the past. Her role is that .of a home ly girl and she also has resorted to the tricks of the makeup box to obtain her effects. " It is a John S. Hobertson pro duction and a First National pic ture. ' Romance of West Is Portrayed By Jones ; Combining the romance' of the west with the colorful life .of the Sawdust ring, "The' Circus Cow boy," Charles Jones' latest Wil yam Fox production, -which Is showing-; today", at . the Liberty theater, is one of the most highly entertaining pictures this star has niade. , . -j ; . -y The story concerns a cow puncher who, pursued by a posse fn the belief that he shot a man. escapes and rinds refuge with a circus aa.a trick rider. This tern- MIS MATE DR. W. W. LONG NEVER MADE STATEMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO HIM It is not the custom of the Ore gon Statesman to interfere with the quarrels of any ofher paper. However there are times when an injustice can be corrected and this rule is violated. The following communication was sent to the Capital Journal; last Wednesday and hag not yet been published. It is no more than fair that Dr. Long be set right, and this paper is glad to do it. June 18, 1924. Editor of Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon. Dear Sir: In reference to the address of Rev. W. W. Long on last Sunday evening.; I think you have a perfect right and liberty to quote from any public address and make' any comments you may de sire to make, but if you wish to be regarded seriously Vby your readers you must quote -correctly. In your issue of June 16 you say Mr. Long stood, at the door "as members of the. congregation were passing out urged them to 'single shoot, or cast one vote for F, E. Neer for school director . This is not true. I was present at the First Presbyterian church that night. I. was not advised in SCHOOL SITE IS PROTEST SUBJECT Pomona Grange Expected to Attempt to Block Action By State Board The Pomona Grange' of Marion county will do all in its power to prevent the state board of control from completing the purchase of a farm near Woodburn for the es tablishment ot a new state -training school for boys if it complies with a request embodied in a re solution addressed to it by -the Salem . Grange. ' The state board of control with Governor Pierce and Secretary of State Kozer vot ing favorably, and State Treasurer Myers opposing, recently voted to buy the Ite. .,The Grange resolu tion commends Myers for his stand, asserting that the purchase is an unnecessary - expense upon the taxpayers. ' The resolution in full follows: ; . ' . "Whereas, the Oregon farmer, in common with other farmers, is rapidly approaching bankruptcy, and Is, therefore, in no condition to meet Increasing expense in the form of taxation; and "Whereas, a majority of the Oregon state board of control has voted to- purchase an additional farm for the use of the Oregon state training school, thus entail ingan additional, and. we believe, an Unnecessary expense upon the taxpayers of the state; therefore, be it : . . "Resolved, 'that Salem Grange No. 1-7, Patrons of Husbandry, In regular session, protests the said action of the majority of the board of control, but commends the Hon. Jefferson 'Myers, state treasurer and xnembcy of ; the board of control, for his action In voting against the purchase of the additional farm; and, further, "Resolved, that " Salem Grange hereby asks Marlon- County Po mona Grange to' take every pos sible action to prevent the said board of control .from completing the purchase of-said additional farm."

Re main. -' : fir- HO - t' t Agnes Ayrcs and Antonio Moreno in MBuff Ccrains Soon any manner as to my vote, and the several minutes I stood near the doorway no school election advice was given to any who passed. In your issue of , June 17 . you say, "Single shot" voting by the oppon ents of Simeral for Frank E. Neer, advocated by Rev. Ward Willis Long of the Presbyterian church in his Sunday night address," etc. Mr. Long did not say a word about "single shot" voting and the names of Simeral and Frank E. Neer were not mentioned'. He did urge that a deep interest be taken in the school election, and don't you think that was timely advice? He did say "It is time to elect to the school board people who know something also besides brick and mortar." I think he is right about that, too, don't you? V Readers of the " journal who were present at the First Presby terian church Sunday evening will have a higher regard for the paper if you correct the misrepresenta tions made. . ONE WHO WAS THERE. V P.S. In fairness to truth and those who were present may I ask that you publish this letter?
