Ackerman and Harris to
Entertain at the Bligh
A double headline is offered at
tie Blih theatre today by Acker
man & Harris. 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

"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.
Through the good offices of a
"real fellow, in the town, and
the real fellows girl. Isadore Sol
omon promotes the ideas of an un
appreciated inventor-genius, cor
rals the water-power of a falls

This legend has been transferred

In the real story Miss Mufray is
a modern Circe, who like thgod

powers and, from ' that 1 time oh

"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 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 '

Th Mission bf Scionon
Third Truth advances with hu
man intelligence. j The past pre-.
sents many wrecks or. what, once
was the truth. Today we accept a
thousand things which our fathers
deemed dangrerouland false. Their
nititiulft was trutWto them. Ours
is true to us. After us will come

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. The average criminal
is either a moron or a child of
misfortune. i j , .
Those Who Wouti Enforce Must
. . . Obey J.. . ' ' .
Fourth-: Men selected to enforce
the law must themselves obey the
law all the law.i ;We are suppos
ed to elect the ablest persons avail
able to enact our.laws, but we too
often leave enforcement to those
men who are. skillful politicians, or
who will obey tho orders of poli
ticians, i Many ot the sheriffs, their
deputies, chiefs of police and police
officers, detectives, tnafshals and
constables are worthy .men. in
deed .'most of them are. Unfortu
nately, however, fthey have'receiv
ed slight training-in the underly
ing principles ol criminology, so
ciology and psychology, and with
out knowledge of the results of
modern researchjin those avenues,
no man can be moe than mediocre
in his, work.' j ... j
Again, unhappily, there is al
most universal acceptance of an
enforcement "policy'', so-called.
which emanates rfrom some politi
cal organization some state, coun
ty or municipal f administration,
with the inevitable result that the
individuality of: the enforcement
officer is , destroyed, and he be
comes an animated tool. , His
bread and butter are at stake, and
he ,, obey3 orders transmitted
through subterranean channels
from th& man in control, and
