One is the Verie tiia Four and the other the Mc Xecds. " ' "' ' - ' -T ' ' jhe Venetian Four present an artistic and tasty musical skit call ed "A Night in Venice." These ' ions of Italy are musicians and offer everything from classical to popular numbers. They carry spe cial ' scenery and are dressed in native garb. - The McLeods present what they .term a family affair In black and white. They frolic about the stage and entertain with-. sonrs, chatter and dances. Each member of the family is a finished performer. "Tears of Buddha Is featured by E". J. Moore. He is billed as a magician-comedian and is said to be unlike any other performer appearing before the public today. Part of his program is devoted to producing laughs with his burles que magic and comedy chatter, viile the other half is perform ing feats of magic. His trick, Tears of Buddha," is a mystery tale. - -. ' .William Wolfe and Louise Ward are classed as a distinctive pair. They offer a skit called "Tea for Two and Then Borne. Ella La Tail will open the show with her notel offerfng". ' She is billed as a girl from the air and performs daring feats. "r j "Welcome Stranger" Please Salem People at "the GranrJ What Is known in the vernacu lar of the show business as a "knockout" took place at the Grand last night where ''Welcome Stranger" was given its second presentation to local audiences. With as fine a cast as we have seen in a picture in a blue moon, a story that effervesces with clean cut comedy, real honest-to-good-ness characters that you meet In every day lite, and a plot that sus tains interest throughout, "Wel- come Stranger" is Just what its title Implies. It's certainly wel come in tnese'days of ttrab sety plays and forced humor. It's en tertainment plus and leaves a good tate in' the show palate after the final fadeout." ' " . The chief character-in, "Wel come Stranger" is a witty and philanthropic Jew' ' who," in at tempting to "break In'l to the busi ness life of a naf row-Yninded New "England town." encounters the "cold shoulder" and a select bunch of rassberries7 for. his pains.

R2LEASCO ty "Flirting With Love" to Open at Oregon j Tuesday That bit of flame in "Flaming Youth," , the exposer of "Painted People," and the perfect flapper of "The Perfect , Flapper" will enact a temperamental actress in. "Flirt ing With Love" at the Theater, be ginning next Tuesday. For the benefit of the few un initiated it is no other than Col leen Moore, who . Is co-featured with Conway Tearle in. this latest First National production "Flirting With Love," based on Leroy Scott's story "Counterfeit," and directed by John Francis Dillon. r ; .Earl Hudson, under whose su pervision the picture was produced, could not have devised a , better acting combination than these two players, who have leaped! to the highest screen fame in little more than, a year. Only those who see them In "Flirting With Love" will appreciate the greater -histrionic heights they are certain to attain. Although Miss Moore-has been identified more or less wjth light comedy roles in her last three pic tures, the surprise in store for her followers, consists of ' seeing the young star in a . tense emotional role. But not to the neglect : of the style of comedy which has brought about her extreme, popu larity.. 111 "Flirting With Love" evolves Its plot from a phase of theatrical life so little known; to the layman. Col leen Moore interprets a tempera mental young actress, Gilda La mont, whose genuine ability has caused many "artistic successes, but financial failures." . In despair and on the brink of financial ruin, she induces the manager to present her-in a risque farce, "The Lost Kimono." .

The two girls were in Los Angeles at the time they were se lected for the parts in the picture Inasmuch as the production was to be started within a week at the Paramount, Long . Island studio, some lively transcontinental tra veling had to be effected to be on time for the first scenes. f ,f ' In the picture Meighan has the role of a returned doughboy, who takes up the, practice of , law. in a small town.; After Chateau Tbeir ry and the Argonne, Tom as "Hell Fire" Harrington, can't seem to get exejted. over, the petty lawsuits of the little town of Edgewater.j Then matters taae - a sudden turn. - A pretty -little Indian girl school teacher (Bessie Love) comes to him with the news that A i-i i HI NOW PLAYING AT THE GRAND ; THEATRE WELCOME STiWOeJv-teoty "The Challenge la to Every Forward Looking, Patriotic, Law Abiding ftititen: The Constitution Must Be Up held; the Laws Must Be Enforced, Otherwise' the Bells oi Doom Will Soon Toll, Marking the Beginning of the End of Popular Government, and Oligarchy Will Sup ; plant the Reppblic" ' S : : : : (Whose words -quoted above?

Stephen A. lLoell of Pen dleton, which address is printed in full below:) e ill The term LAW j ENFORCE MENT immediately ifocusses the mind upon the prqblem of prohi bition. Yet after al) hat problem exists largely because of failure on the part of parents and teach ers to impress the sanctity of the moral law upon the routh of the' land, alike in school ftnd at home, and because too 'many men and women fail to appreciate the fact that good citizenship i demands obedience to all latvj whether or not there is agreenient with its genesis, operation oripurpose. The difficulty lies not in the under world, but in the realm of so called respectability.! ; ; " The 18th amendment is a part of the basic law of Ithe republic, and is entitled to thef same consid eration and to the j same obedi ence as is the original instrument, or any of the severaljamendments. Personal opinion, desire or predi- lect is in no manner) involved The minority must bow o the will of the majority whenscjrystalized in to, law. It is a safe prophecy that prohibition is with! is to remain; and the situation may as well be accepted. Those who refuse, will sooner or later be denied recogni tion as citizens Any man or wo man who lives under the constitu tion and laws of this nation, and refuses to obey theni, ought to be a subject of deportation. Such person is not an, asset, but a lia bility. - fill Therefore In discussing the broad subject of Ia enforcement there must be laid foundations for the structure, ta be builded. ' Liberty Not tMeense ' First There is !tJo liberty, ex cept under the law-! Without law as a check and gujde liberty. soon evolves license, and Itben the man on horseback corned That is the uniform story or ail nistory. it will be repeated: herb unless there Is a revival of that respect lor legal and moral Obligations, public and 'private, which? fehartacterized the: Pilgrims, thej Puritans, the Cavaliers, the Huguenots and the Baltimorean Catholics, who, to gether, sowed the sefeds of clviliza-- lion upon the eastern snore ot mis continent, and whose descendents have swept across the expanse be tween the oceans establishing law and order in theirf Swake.. Surely the lawlessness . of i today cannot long endure. The Moral; Law nothing which of the Ten Second There is can ' take the place jommanamenis, i he Golden Rule and the Sermon on Mount, either In Hhe home. the the school, the mart of trade, one -the farm, within the factory, in tne fnVeata. iinnn thewaters. in the offices, upon the (streets, in nans . . . r - , nf loialation or In places of autn- ority.

Enthronement of this trinity of morality will ulti matelv nrcserve tHe state.

This means that In enforcing law it is incumbent upon us to utilize the discoveries of science, the dem onstrated truths Of sociology and psychology, and the accepted facts of students in thef realm of medi cine . and surgeryj ! Old methods must be abandoned in the light of the age. Criminology tomorrow may be clearer than "now,-but that will not excuse us for declining to accept such light das Is vonchsared to our time.
