Exaggeration had no place in the glowing advance notices that preceded Syd Chaplin in his latest production, "The Man on the Box," to Salem. That much! was settled yesterday when the picture had its first showing at the Ore gon theater.-where it is hilled to remain until Tuesday. Chaplin's interpretation ol the famous Harold McGrath story is one of the productions that will go HEJXIG . Edmund Lowe in "The Fool." by Channlng Pol- lock. down as one of the best films in 5. It is one of the most hilar iously amnsing pictures ever screened. Chaplin is even funnier than he was in "Charles's Aunt," first as a debonair young millionaire, then a typical cab driver, . a gro butler and finally as a ladies maid involved in a frantic tussle for a set of plans' for an aeroplane invention. In addition to directing the pro duction Charles Reisner plajs the heavy, a Russian spy. Alice Cal houn is the pretty heroine, Kath leen Calhoun an inventor's wife, and Melene Costello the hero's sister. The story never lags for a min ute, in fact it constantly gathers momentum as Syd gets into one intrigue before he is out of an other. From the first flash to the final curtain the picture is one rapid succession of side-splitting laughs.

It is a picturization of the famous novel and stage success. white men, living in such an en vironment, to sek surcease in al cohol it is all brought very near to us. The action moves with the in evitability of a classic tragedy. When young Lanford. dapperly dressed, enthusiastic, fresh from London, joins the group of tired nervous, carelessly groomed men in the rubber company's settle ment on the west coast of Africa, one penses his ultimate yielding to the sinister influence of the place. Like the men he finds there, he. too. will learn to do without the niceties of civiliza tion, and to revise his views of morality. It is his Rtrupgle against the inevitable that provides the dramatic motivation of the play. He scorns at first all white men who soiace themselves with the favors of black women. Hut -within a few months he is hope lessly enamoured of the half-breed STRONG DRAMA AT THE HEILIG "WHITE CM' IS T F I as a "Poor Man"; Film Is at Heilig An interesting high light in "The Fool," the Channing Pollock Intense Drama of South Seas ! Said to Be Best Produc tion of Year An intense play, amazinsly real istic in its picturing of a tragis passion with a tropical inferno as its setting, is "White Cargo." which comes to the Heilig theater Thursday. November 12.. It pre sents artistically what Richard Walton Tully presented in terms of obvious melodrama when he CORNS AND wrote "The Bird of Paradise" the plight of a white man married to a primitive woman with whom he can have nothing in common save a physical impulse that soon wears itself out in disgust. There is no clap-trap, however, in ".White Cargo." Its effects are logically developed; it sustains in terests and stirs the emotions and all without resort to the more ob vious devices of the theater. It is interesting by virtue of its dra matic revelation of Caucasian character when subjected to the test of a tropical ctimate. The men who move through its three acta are actual men, not mere lay figures patterned to suit the pur poses of a manipulator of melo drama. The sharp hatreds and bursts of temper induced by taut nerves; the fearful monotony of existence where intense heat is the one great reality; the tendency of CALLUSES Lift Off with Fingers The Fool"., said to be one of the stroneest dramatic films the" Heilig theatre.

"EmDtv Hands," from the Arthur Stringer novel by that name, which comes to the Bligh theatre today. It re lates the struggle for existence of a man and a woman stranded in the wilderness with nothing but the. clothes they stand-in and a pocket knife. A delightful surprise jrwaits those who try this. Wfien comb-' ing and dressing your hair, just moisten your hair brash with a little "Danderine" and brush it through your hair. The effect is startling! Your hair will appear twice as thick and heavy sparkl ing with life and possessing that incomparable softness, freshness and luxuriance, and Just delicately - perfumed. While beautifying the hair "Dan derine" is also toning and stimu lating each single hair to grow thick, heavy and strong. : Hair stops falling out and dandruff disappears. Get a 35-cent bottle of "Danderine" at any drug or toilet counter and just see how healthy and youthful your hair appears after this delightful, re freshing dressing. Adv. Lowe in the leading role of Daniel Gilchrist and which brings large and thoughtful audiences to the Heilig theatre, is that it intro duces Christ into the play as a character identified by the title: "A Poor Man." nis cnaracter appears m a slight haze in the study of the church where the young curate is suffering from doubts and fears; oTlrnnra traa his otronotVi nf nnrnnoo with a few uplifting sentences, and Makes Fat People Slim iaues away as tae minister seeks Doesn"t.hurt a bit!

In the film version of this won derful play, the scene between the Poor Man and Gilchrist is intense ly thrilling and splendidly rever ential in tone. Riley Hatch, who plays the part of a bullying coal mine millionaire in the -William Fox film version of Channing Pollock's tremendously successful play, "The Fool," has been prominent, popular and suc cessful on the stage for twenty years, and on the screen for half as long.

His death is believed to be due to an infection caused when he was in an accident on the bridge on South Church street adjacent to the Sa lem auto park. At that time he was driving along north just after dark when he was blinded by the lights of an approaching car. He swung into the railing of the bridge, a broken part of which swung into his arm.' He was taken to a hospital and was kept there for but a day, his condition not considered serious. But an infec tion started in his arm, which Is said to have resulted in his death. Coming to Heilig Soon The loss of as much as a pound of excess fat a day with no harm ful results is the record made by many patients of Dr. R. Newman, a licensed practicing physician of 286 Fifth Avenue, New York, who announces that he has perfected a treatment which has quickly rid fat people of excess weight. What is more remarkable is the Doctor's stafement that he has successfully treated thousands of patients for fat reduction without change of diet or unnecessary exercise. It is also said that fat people who suf fer from chronic rheumatism. gout, asthma and' high blood pres sure obtain great relief from the reduction of their superfluous flesh. Realizing that this sounds almost too good to be true, the Doctor has offered to send without charge to anyone who will write him. a free trial treatment to prove his claims, as well as his "Pay when-reduced" plan. If you want' to rid yourself of superfluous fat. write him today, addressing Dr. R. Newman, 2S6 Fifth Avenue, New York City, Dept. R-l.
