vided by "The Man on the

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

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.

one penses his ultimate yielding

there, he. too. will learn to do
without the niceties of civiliza

dramatic motivation of the play.

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

figures patterned to suit the pur

Jesse Jacob Loter, special car
rier for the Capitol Journal, died
at his home late Friday evening,
it was learned Saturday. 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.

many patients of Dr. R. Newman,

treatment which has quickly rid
fat people of excess weight. What
is more remarkable is the Doctor's

also said that fat people who suf
