He will speak "as Herbert'

"Mr. Harrey is well qualified o

In extending naval ratio agree
ments to cruisers, destroyers, and
submarines, President Coolidge
feels that the disposition of this
aspect of the armament 'problem
would make it easier to deal with
the other elements, particularly if
naval armaments were considered
"as having a direct relation to the
land and air armament questions.

comment may be forthcoming.
Thus far the only comment in au

THE CURTAIN FALLS
- Old Lady Love joy squared her
square shoulders under their faded
shawl and from her cubbyhole's
window gazed ; across the deepen
ing gloom to the Great Whlte.Way.
Bright lights! j Warm lights! Gay
lights!. How mockingly they
twinkle at those who once have
known their radiance but are now
beyond their glow! And. as when
one from afar off looks back upon
that Eden from which he has been
driven and ? dreams of happier
things,- tricked by the- glitter r of
the lights, for: Old Lady Lovejoy
memory wove Its spell.
Beautiful she was; this Lola
Lovejoy. And she was the Idol
of an admiring public. Nor la she
beloved for her art alonfe, but for
her own charming self. v Hri-
A short life and a merry one
while It lasU.' But the actor's
fame Is temporary and fleeting, no
matter how great. While Lola's
fame and fortune were, at their
peak, fate struck! There war an
accident; then a long illness that
left her racked and wasted. In
vain she attempted to tie the
snapped thread of her life. . They
would not hold, and the years take
greater toll of her strength and
hef funds. " - . U : .v " -
Gone , are the' days 'when Old
Lady Lovejoy was young and suc
cessful. Gone are the - daya for
countless accomplished artists like
her who not so long ago held the
public's interest -and affection.
These moved their world to tears
and laughter not so long ago. Now,
for :. them, the curtain has fallen.
The applause has died away. Kis

State street pedestrians walked
with heads high last: night In an
effort to take in the electric dis
play on the roof of .the First Na
tional Bank building, where the
first unit of a brilliant illumina
tion was being tried out.
The bright red lights cast a red
dish hue over the entire business
district and could be seen every
where within a radius of five
miles. :When the complete system
Is installed, Salem will have a dis
play which will rival that on any
building in the state, according to
the builders.

I Elslnore Theater
"The Strong man" will show at
the'El&inore theater today. - Feb
ruary 12. This Is a picture filled
with entertaining features which
will delight everyone. An eminent
reviewer says:
"Certainly Langdon has dis
covered that secret', of great
comedy.humor mixed with pathos.
When -1 ; wasnT weeping with
laughter at his absurd antics In
this fast-moving feature, I found
ray eyes moistening at the subtle
bits of sorrow in the excellently
evolved story; " ;
Many; will undoubtedly agree
withn the critics who. have labeled
The Strong Man", the season's
sensation of comedies.
"The Strong Man" is the droll
tale' of a Belgian ex-soldier who
comes to America to find the girl
whose "Buddy" letters cheered
him In the black hours of battle.
The brief war scenes make an
excellent opening for the film.
' After a screamingly funny se
quence at Ellis Island, Langdon
arrives In New Pork, looking lost
and lonely as only this genius of
mimicry could act.
His escapades as the assistant
to a German weight lifter take
him through a whirl of hilarious
scenes which .draw just about
2,222 laughs in the six reels.
Priscilla Bonner, Gertrude. As
tor, Arthur Thalasso, Robert Mc
Klm and William V. Mong make
up the supporting cast which was
directed by Frank. Capra from an
original story by Langdon himself.
On Sunday, February 13, Fan
chon and Marco raudeville will be
the special attraction.' These en
tertainment features have ; been
proving very 'successful and more
people .are attending each offering.
In addition to; toe vaudeville there

Mark Twain gave the woTld In "A
Connecticut Yankee In King Arth
ur's Court." which; presented by
William Fox as a reissue film pro
duction, will play at the Oregon
theater today, February 12, only.
Mark Twain wrote this great
comic romance first to make the
world laugh and second to "show
up King Arthur.
1 Twain had not a very high opin
ion of the Knights of the Round
Table. . He had heard too much
about them. Ruskln. and William
Mprrls had leen feeding the pub
lic, 'on the Middle AgeS. and it had
become the fashion to believe that
everybody dead and gone -was bet
ter than everybody alive. Tenny
son's "Idylls of the King" made
Mark Twain sick. He was tired of
the Middle Ages. Ladies languish
ing in high, inaccessible towers,
waiting for knights to come and
rescue them, did not appeal to. him
at all.. He had - been . brought up
on the Mississippi, and he had the
Idea that one Mississippi riverman
was as good as several of the
Knights of the Round Tajble, and
probably a lot better.- Sir Gala
had he considered a wishy-washy
sort of hero; he preferred Tom
Sawyer. .
"I'll show up King Arthur and
his : well-known knights,, said
Mark Twain.; in -effect. So he
wrote a book describing the adventures-of
a modern, 'Smart, clever
young American at the Court of
King Artjour. .'."vy -

One of the first things : this
young Amirican. Martin Caven
dish, discovered was that. Arthur
and the Knights were victims j of
superstition. y Then he discovered
that tffe plumbing of King, Arth
ur's Castle was yery bad indeed.
The vaunted knights did not take
a bath any too often, and the
ladles of : the court were not par
ticularly attractive. j
Worst of alL the Knights of the
Round Table were no great shakes
when It came to fighting. Martin,
armed with a revolver and a lasso,
defeated t the whole company j of
them in a great tournament, and
then turned around and told the
king .that all this talk about nobil
ity was bnnk.yl

had mounted all the knights jon
