Kind's 1925 Revne, which has played many engagements in this tity during the past two years, is now holding down the boards at ' the Bligh theater. The company ' opened Monday evening; in the i presentation of a big-comedy bill. A Divorce Care," and the offer ing was well received by an ap preciative audience. Tfce bill was interspersed with girl numbers, specialty . dancing, musical ' and novelty numbers and several high class vaudeville acts! ; 1 Members of the company espe cially deserving of mention is i tile comedian, who kept; the audi ence In a troersf 'laughter from , start to imanrand iiainerine, a , petite ingenue and dancer of i- merit!

Miss Robson is a paragon of perfection In the odd role of "Hel ena." The gist of the play is an awful moment in a woman's life when she is being, left behind by her . boys whose i advanced and modern ideas, are just opposite to hers. ' It staggers her at first but when she gains ' her equilibrium she. is armed for this conflict and she never retreats, but gains her point. Augustus Pitou has surrounded Miss Robson with a fine cast of clever people, whose artistic work is a wonderful assistance to Miss Robson." The New York produc tion is intact and is a marvelous example of stage-craft.

II II III i-.i ! 1 M B).M "KING'S 1925 y REVUE" Bligh Theatre A wonderful variety of genuine entertainment is offered for . the patrons of the Heilig theater with the ' next Association vaudeville unit show which comes to "the Heilig next Friday. The "la Petite Ballet" with Ollienne Terry & Co. heads the bill with one of the most spectacu Iar terpsichorean offerings of the season. Five attractive, y o u n g ladies featuring Miss Terry pre sent a rapid routine of all the well known dances including, the Charleston,- Oriental, toe, jazz, character dances and a big pony dance, for aicjimaxinl,which, H the girls, are .costumed as ponies There is an abundance of luxuri ous1' stage settings and a wealth of gorgeous costumes. A master magician and super- comedian is "Allen Norman?", who 'deliberately sets out to de ceive his audience and in spite of the fact that everyone instinctive ly declares "try to do it" he sac ceeds beautifully and humorously for he has the happy faculty of knowing how to mix in a rare line of humor with his magic and mys ticisms. . ' One of the most unique singing and musical numbers is that pre sented by Frankie Hall, and Billy O'Brien. in their skit which they call "Sky-Larking." An aviation crash and its attending thrills is worked into the introduction of the act after which a number of those old time popular ballads are rendered in - a delightful tenor voice Ty Billy Oi'Brien as well as a numberf good harmony selec tion in. which Miss Hall's splen did " feopraW blends perfectly, with fiaf ,iif Kr nartner." "Wild Irish Rose."-"i8s Me Againtand "Oh How-., f; Mlas You Tonight" are Rome , of , the favorites presented by this exeefttnt team. Mr. O'Brien sprang into fame some time ago A reception held Friday evening at the First Presbyterian church by the members of Sunset Troup 4, Boy Scouts of America, honoring .their- respective - parents, proved to be one , of the most successful entertainments staged by. , local Scouts within the annals of the present organization. Some i 73 parents were in attendance. . j Members of the troop's commit tee, Messrs. Hudkins, Laws and Gahlsdorf, received the parents and visitors on behalf of the troop organization. Scoutmaster Harold Li. Cook presented his troop of some 40 scouts, under the leader ship of Senior Patrol Leader Ard- ery Rankin, and. the evening' pro gram was a repertoire of contests and demonstrations, mingled with technique and humor, on the- part of. members of the troup. Scout Varley Ennor demonstrated the art of. making a fire by friction. Members of the Stag patrol, under the direction of Patrol Leader Carmica'., constructed a bridge out of materials gleaned from I the woods, which they put together by aid of Boy Scout knots. This bridge measured some 20 feet long and when finished was capable of supporting 600 pounds weight. The troop orchestra, composed of members of the troop, delighted their hearers with varied musical selections. This orchestra includes the following members: 'Fred Ca- mical, . Fred Remmington, Clinton tLovell, Ronald Hudkins, Tommy Livesley and Russell Scott. Troop 4 owns an Atwater Kent radio, the gift of William Gahls dorf, and this, together with the troop's motion picture machine. provided special entertainment for the occasion. Nine candidates have filed their applications to become members of .the troop within the past two weeks. The membership of the troop is limited to 64 scouts, and when this number is reached, which will be very soon, .boys wishing to' become members" will be placed on a waiting list. Refreshments were served Fri day evening by members of the Tiger patrol, under the able di rection of Patrol Leader Russell Rankin. Bebe Daniels, star in "Miss Bluebeard," brings a new and equally amusing comedy to the Oregon theater this afternoon In "Lovers in Quarantine," which will be the feature offered on that screen until tomorrow evening when "The Knockout" comes to replace it. The gales of hearty laughter which marked the showing of "Miss Bluebeard" are all contained in "Lovers in Quarantine," and there are a few-more thrown in for good measure. , Bebe, as Diana Gordon, is a mis chievous little tomboy who act3 first and thinks afterwards. She believes desperate situations re quire desperate remedies, and is not the type of girl to give up the man she loves without a whole some battle. Diana falls in love with Tony Blunt, played by Harrison Ford, who imagines himself in love with Diana's flirtatious older sister, Pamela, and plans to elope with her on a steamer. Diana, believ ing that Tony is really in love with her, through a clever scheme takes her sister's, place on the boat, and it .is not for three days that-Blunt discovers he has eloped with the wrong girl. Matters begin to call for fast thinking .when the , passengers on the ship are all quarantined. Di ana and Tony, referred to by all as "the honeymoon couple," with the girl's spinster chaperone, Amelia Pincent, are assigned a little bungalow apart from the rest. Then the fun begins. . It's Bebe's funniest picture the fun niest picture you've seen -in many months. r By AUDRED BUNCH Salem people have had a taste of , a ' kind of dramatic ' offering they are going to hate to give up. and it is to be regretted that the comedy drama, "Johnny Get Your Gun." at the Heilig theater last night was a farewell performance. A play full of irresistible humor, Forrest Taylor in the major role, and the lovely Anue Berryman playing opposite, resolved into a total that was a sparkling success. With far more social manuevers than trigger manipulations, the play at first glance would seem to belie its name. But in spite of the tact that all "war" was a 'parlor and studio affair there was a Very distinct once or twice when one's goose-flesfi rose. The prologue of the play is given over to action in the studio ofxlhe Burnham-Barnard Picture company in Los Angeles where some clever scene-shooting is done in scenario adaptation and the ar rangement of "sets." The three ftR proper are staged in the fash-Vn-ble Long Island home of pi'o.'.y relatives and a hoax duke. For a "Johnnie," like Wiggins, "With a pistol in his hat" to adapt himsen to the ways of the Duke No More and his clientele, was is absorbing as it was out rageously funny, and the "gastro nomic' "acrobatics that caused such consternation for Eliza Burn- bam (Miss Fanchon Everhart, one of the most esteemed members of the whole Forrest Taylor com panyj caused an overflow of laughter as far as the extraordin ary responsive audience was "con cerned. Miss Berryman played the role of house-maid with the same appeal as she plays any so ciety jrole and sateen becomes her as we!ll as the silk. The personal ity i the thing and Anne Berry man jhas.it as exquisitely as For rest Taylor has it vitally. , Supporting members of the Cast included William Brewer, Cecil Druramand, Charles Rice, Kirke M. pecker, Alvin Baird, and; a thoroughly superb young actress, Miss!
