ment at the Oregon wftH this af
ternoon's niatinee, and ..tonight
,MacLean takes the' screen lh a
comely that will give theatergoers
something jiibre tahel&ankf ul for
over Thursday.
."Seven-Kys to Rpdflpttp'' has
been critically described as George
M. Cohan's greatest comedy, and
that' experf at Airier
fan public from its langbs'has an
enviable record as an entertainer.
Add MacLean tooCoban-and the:
fans have cause to take out insur
ance on loose buttons on . vital
parts of their raiment- V
- In translating! "Seven-Keys to
Baldpate" to thp "screen, MacLean
and his staff have made only one
important departure from the
earlier story. They have added a
real girl and a real romance. And
they have made this romance the
motive for all the action, substi
tuting it for the wager which ani
mated the stags play.. With the
addition of a short prologue, they
sell you and everyone else, the
Idea that Doug is bo much in love
with the girl that he will try any
. thing. To win the, girl he at
L tempts to write a complete novel
in 24 hours an unheard of feat.
Because the audience is sold on
;"the romance, they'll all be Tooting
; for him ' to succeed. When ob
stacles 'block him, every spectator
in every theater is going to be
pulling for him. And that's the
kind of appeal that packs em In!
All the melodrama, drama, fast
.action, thrills and comedy are
One of the most important pro
ductions of the season is the sen-r
sational war drama "What Price
Glory," which will be seen at the
HeUIg theater tonight'i This is
the play which has astounded, the
entire English speaking world with
its frank exploitation of - what
actually happened in the ranks of
the American "expeditionary forces
in France.
While all the players in tin's
terrific drama from the pen of
Maxwell Anderson, a former San
Francisco newspaper man, and
Capt. Laurence Stallings,; formerly
of the United States. Marines,, are
men, with, the exception of. oner.the
play is reported to have a , tre
mendous appeal. a$ In, the ease of
"White Cargo."
The main action or the piece, In
fact, revblves around the passion
ate, desire of two of the charac-ers-T-Captain
jh and; Sergeant
Quirt-.for' the favors pf Char-
malne, the French filte de joie.
Their bitjer f hatred ,of each other
is shown, in their battle for the
"woman of no importance," reach
ing a smashing climax when one
of them wins, only to toss away
his prize. . .j
The splendid cast which comes
to this city is headed by Emmett
Corrigan and comprises 30 other
excellent players.

to Eing the hymns and sneeial
selections under the direction of
Mr. Fishier, the song evangelist.
Mr. Fisher also sings special num
bers at each meeting.
Last evening the Young Mar
ried People's class were present in
a body aad topic part in the serv
ice, sinRing a special number with
Mr. Fred Broer leading. Dr. Dan
iel . Bryant spoke from the" text,
"There Is more joy in heaven over
one sinner that repenteth than
over ninety-nine just persons that
need no repentance." He said in
part: "Sinners flocked to Jesus
;nn?h to! the annoyance of the
r":i;d Pharasees: Jesus did not
'i. matters' with them. He
u .)-.:.;od sin, but he loved the sin
ner. Any church that is seeking
to save sinners will have little dit
ficulty in getting sinners to come
to its services. ' Publicans ani sin
ners will not come to a church
where there Is po warm weleome
or an effort to help tbem io Jesus.
The mission of soul saving will be
enough to unite a church. In every
other good work. It is a terrible
thing tof be lost." Dr. Bryant
gave a number ot startlin? illus

of lost faith and hope.

N'o. 724 from the Central Trades
and Labor council was announced
at the senn-montniy meeting 01
the labor council last night
through a communication from M
M. Dungan, secretary. Increasing
tendencies toward the so-called
American plan conditions were
given as the cause for withdrawal.
Several specific instances were
cited in the letter. Satisfaction
with the business agent, S. B.
Davidson, was expressed.
"We have no wish to be a part
or factor in fastening the open
shop conditions on the tradesmen
of Salem," the communication
read3. "Until a universal agree
ment between the various locals
shall be put in effect prohibiting
men from working for whom,
when and where they please, our
delegates are excused from attend
ance upon your deliberations and
our affiliations are severed. When
suitable and decent conditions are
effected, or a favorable sentiment
exists for such changes and ad
herence to trade union conditions,
our moral and financial aid will
be gladly and freely given."
Workmens' educational classes,
under the direction of the Port
land labor council and the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, will
