W0I9D Esnis 1 1 r'rs w in niAiifP HtHhlWPIUIUHb SALEM PEOP Lon Chaney, "The Man With a Thousand Faces, y Stars in Heilig Drama . Hlstory failed to repeat thia time! . As a usual thing a featured player wins the laurels of star dom through' a series of screen successes and then appears in an Initial starring vehicle which makes the picture-goer wonder vhy she is a star. For the last couple of years Norma Shearer baa consistently responsible for "He Who Geta Slapped," a sensationally success ful film in which Chaney and Miss Fhearer were featured. Seastrom knew his players and the stars and supporting cast knew Sea strom, and had confidence in him. The net result has been a remark abe picture and "The Tower of Lies" will probably be remember ed by public and critics for many years to come. 'IE1E :. PLEflSEDWITHFILM "The Ancient Highway", Now Playing at the Ore gon Is Welcomed appeared. In good pictures, or, at least, has interpreted, her roles so well that the faults of the pictures have been dwindled in comparison with her beauty, ability and personality. W- Yielding to popular demand, 3 Louis B. flayer, head of the Met-f"ro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, recent ly announced that Miss Shearer .'..would-be starred and she more than Justified the promotion. She is now co-starred with Lon Chan ey in "The Tower of Lies," the Victor Seastrom-directed picture now playing at the Heilig theatce. Instead of following in the foot steps of '- other stars, who have helped contribute to the delin quency of their subsequent starring-vehicles. Miss Shearer ' hasr outdone herself in "The Tower of Lies," and gives the best piece of tcting thus, far in -her career. - What has been said of Miss Shearer, applies equally as well to Lon Chaney who is co-starred in J is production. Chaney, also, has dong been regarded as a star, by t v.. iki. ( . i,t. r;fD Ulure-gVTCia, UUt una is uia msv ehicle where he has been offi- ally pronounced a star by the producers . Of the many great roles Chaney has so successfuly portrayedi it must be admitted, that none has been as human and appealing as; the mad "Jan" in "The ToweY of Lies." The creat success of this pic- f f ture Is contributed to by most Jtd everybody who has had any con nection with it. To be fair to everybody concerned, we should tcentJon that Selma Lagerlof's nov el, "The Emperor of Portugallia," bf which "The Tower of Lies" is a screen adaptation by Agnes Chris tine Johnson, made a remarkable Vehicle. " f Then there is Director Victor Seastrom,-, who was directorially I ?e cit The greatest story of its kind ever transferred to the screen, was the verdict of those who saw Jack Holt in "The Ancient Highway." which yesterday opened its show ing at the Oregon theater, where it will remain until Tuesday. . Particularly interesting to Ore Konians Is the setting of the pic ture, which was entirely in Ore gon. Nearly all of the scenes were taken in the lumbering camps of Coos county, and they contain a wealth of detailed information about methods of logging that are not generally known even here, the home of the lumber industry. Almost every step in the progress of felling and delivering the big trees tc the mills in the shape of logs 4s illustrated. The-log drive scene showing: thousands of logs being started on their way to the mill by re leasing the impounded water be hind a dam is particularly im pressive. The story chiefly concerns Cliff Brant (Jack Holt) an adventurer, who has wandered all over the world and returns to his native town along the St. Lawrence river for the sole purpose of inflicting physical punishment on a million aire paper manufacturer, played by Montagu Love, who had ruined Bran't father and caused his death. In Love's office, Cliff, thoroughly beats and humiliates him. the encounter being witness ed by Billie Dove, a beautirul girl with whom Ivan Hurd (Love) is in love. That is the beginning of one of the best pictures of the year. : y. rzr. fpir 'alii fc y: p sin K' " II m.

Ruth Davis will add color to the bill with her singing, and her Impersonations. She has added enough , comedy with her enter tainment to make her act a big hit. Patrick and Retta present one of the cleverest wire-walking acts to play the house this season. This couple have a turn that is new and novel, and they never fail to score. When it comes to balancing, the credit goes to Herbert Bigger, who- .balances objects on his nose and face. In fact, there is no part of his body that does not work, while he has everything he can lay his hands on up in the air.
