Wood's Auto Service Cox (Continued from page 1.) ates the character of Russia's most powerful banker, who is charmed by the beauty of the dancer. Sinister and licen- tious, the banker seeks to gain the girl for his own purposes in much the same brutal manner in which he amassed his large fortune. Siegmann's villainy is an art in itself, made more impressive -because of the lavish surroundings in which he acts out his part. The cast also numbers such well-known players as Ar thur Hoytj who is Seigmann's right-hand man in his villainy,! and Earl Metcalf, who plays the nihilist brother of the hero; Mikhael Vavitch, Nickolo Soussaanin and Medea Radzma, three of Russia's foremost players; Cesare Gravina, noted Italian actor, Nina Romano, one of the most beautiful women on the screen; Victor De Linsky, William Von Hardenberg and Charles Hancock. Eighteen Years' Growth Is History of Bligh Here (Continued from page 1.) Adjoining offices on the, second floor; of the new Bligh building will be occupied by Fred E. Mangis, well known local insurance man, and William Ellis, attorney, in the ex treme nortwest corner so that they face on both High and State streets. ;. : Mangis is a Salem boy, having come here from Illinois when six years of age. After spending several years in California he returned to Salem in JS14 and organized the firm of Mangis Brothers, fruit brokers, of which he is the head. Except for a period during the war, he has been in business here since that time." In 1923 the partnership with h!s brother was dissolved, and Mangis has been engaged in ru William P. Ellis is resuming private practice after serv ing as attornev for the public service commission for the past 2 years. He will continue, however, a part' time con nection with the public service department, and is also a deputy of the attorney general's office. In his private prac tice he will specialize in public utility work. was located at the present site ot the iJomeroy & Keene store. Two years later the Blighs opened the "Klinger-Grand" theatre where the Atlas book store is now conducted, and the same year, started the "Liberty" at Roseburg. The "Majestic" at Corvallis was opened in 1911, and the "Bligh", which is now the "Globe", in Albany. The "Grand" and "Ye Liberty" theatres in Salem were operated under the Bligh management for a time, and resi dents of Salem who were here then will easily recall that no first class road show passed up or down the coast without stopping for a performance in Salem, and that all of the bigger motion pictures also were shown here. With the opening of Bligh's new Capitol, provision is made for resumption of. that policy of giving Salem the best entertainment that is available.

V 66 if VISION BLIGH'S CAPITOL THEATRE "Your old men shall dream dreams and your young : men shall see visions." , Mr. Bligh had a vision: He saw Salem in 1930 a metropolitan city. He saw a Capitol Theatre, in that Capital City, second to none in the Northwest. To bring to pass the thing he envisioned he called in Tourtellotte & Hummel, Architects, who co-operated 1 with him in making a realistic picture of that Theatre.1 From that picture (plans) Builders, Workmen, and Dec orators wrought in enduring masonry the Monumental ' Building which becomes a part of the new Salem today.; Its service will be the giving of pleasure and optimism to all the good people of the Capital and inspiring other, property-owners to go and do likewise.
