THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON
tpot.av morning, march i. 1927
S VP'S - 1 G-WtS''OF-TME
Capitol Thetfr
Albin Prybylek, endurance driT
er, will marry his nurse on the
Btage .of the, Capitol theater.
JThis wedding is going to be one
bf the most lavish Weddings ever
held in Salem. Mr. Breithaupt,
local florist, will hare charge of
the decorations on the stage, and
a ldbal minister has been selected
to perform the ceremony, which
will be after the first show to
night. I On the screen this evening the
Capitol will present George
P'Hara in "California or Bust."
, This Is not the first time that
George O'Hara has been compared
i to W ally Reid, and when Byron
Morgan, the author that did most
"of the Reid stories, started tak
ing an interest in O'Hara, no one
was yery surprised. "California
or Bust" was written for Reid, but
his untimely death prevented its
ever being filmed. George O'Hara
las made a picture worthy of the
'original! for whom it was made
It teems with the most hilarious
action, which at all times is tem
pered with a spirit of comedy, re
sulting' In an hour of perfect en
tertainment.
George O'Hara shines both in
the Mimor and romance of the
story, and there is a wealth of
both, and he was lucky to ac
quire a great director to help him.
Phil Rosen, who will be remem
bered as the director of the wonder-picture,
"Abraham Lincoln,"
and the more recent "Rose of the
Tenements," is the man behind the
megaphone. This Rosen is a sur
prise, after making two successful
pictures that are dramatic in the
extreme, he has gone to the other
extreme, and in this third O'Hara
feature he has achieved with com
- edy all that be ever did with more
:serious drama.
Baumann, was never Intended to
be sent on the road. The pro
duction was made for the Wilkes
theater, San Francisco, but the
phenomenal success of "Castles in
the Air." which now occupies the
stage of that theater, was so great
that Mr. Wilkes decided to allow
the operetta to remain there until
March 19th and to play "The
Noose" on tour until that date
The latter play will be seen here
exactly as it will be presented in
San Francisco when it goes into
that city for a long run.

Elsinore Theater
That "Young April," a new ro
mantic comedy featuring Joseph
Scbildkraut, Bessie Love and Ru
dolph Schildkraut three sterling
. screen artists was in every re
spect worthy of the highest com
mendation, will be demonstrated
jconclusively at its showing at the
Elsinore theater for three days,
larch 1, 2 and 3.
r The picture proved a veritable
' , delight to successive audiences,
, and it was heartily greeted by en
thusiastic fans.
The story deals with the adven
tures of a young crown prince, his
lady ' love, a grand ducsess, of
whose identity he is ignorant, he
believing her to be a little Ameri-
. can girl with a fondness for sport
and sporty King Stefan, father of
the prince. The Schlldkrauts
father and son, are seen as the
king; and prince, respectively
. Their portrayals are excellent
while that of Miss Love is wholly
adequate. Bryant Washburn, as
the scheming Prince Michael, is a
trouble maker de luxe. The sup
port is excellent, the work of Clar
ence Geldert, Alan Brooks, Dot
- Farley, Carrie Daumery and Baldy
Belmont being especially artistic.
The comedy is rich and the climax
both startling and satisfying. Tou
will: appreciate this superb screen
creation by Donald, Crisp, because
It is quite worth wbile.
Oregon Theater
"The Gilded Highway," the J
Stuart Blackton 'production for
Warner Bros, which shows at the
Oregon theater for three days
March 1, 2 and 3, is a screen ver
sion of W. B. Maxwell's novel, "A
Little More."
The story concerns a middle
class family in a suburban town;
the sort of family that manages
to keep on servant and has com
fortable meals and time for lim
ited amusement, but no money for
luxuries. They can't even man
age an automobile. A happy,
wholesome, hard-working family
they-are.
Then the death of an nncle
brings them enormous wealth; so
much money that the problem of
how to spend it becomes a real
problem. They become the sort
of people who. have to worry as
to whether to spend the winter on
the Riviera, or at Palm Beach, or
in California. Every dream of lux
urious happiness is theirs for ful
fillment. They are free to enjoy
themselves to the limit.
The problem of whether people,
untrained to the use of wealth.
unskilled in social life, essential
ly unfitted for exquisite ease, can
make themselves over to fit the
environment into which their
wealth helps to protect them, is
said to form one of the most
thoughtful, and, at the same time.
exciting stories of the screen.

According to Mr. Churchill, Wil

but failed to pay for the damages,
according to the report.
Neither Wilson or Churchill

LiMOST any man will agree that his life is
more valuable to himself than the things he
owns. Now he can have the comfort of
knowing how valuable his life is to others from a
dollars-and-cents standpoint.
Today it is known that the lives of our men,
women and children are the nation's greatest asset.
The economic value of these lives completely over
shadows the value of all of our materia) wealth.
Recent computations made by statisticians of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company show the real
economic value of the lives of our people from baby
hood to old age. These figures are based on the aver
age family with an average income and take into
consideration the average
length of life of each mem
ber of the family, together
with the cost of bringing
children into the world, feed
ing them, clothing them, ed
ucating them and bringing t
them up to a self-supporting"
basis.
Long lives and short lives
small incomes and big
incomes are reckoned in
these calculations. - At 40.
a man earning $100 a week
is rated as having an eco
nomic value of $45,670. At
30, the $50-a-week man rep
resents a value of $31,000.
He had a value of $9,333
the day he was born.
And then come the fig
ures showing the total eco
nomic value of all the men,
women and children of the
United States the astound
ing total of 1,500 billion dol
lars ($1,500,000,000,000).

I In reality, he and his family are
worth a small fortune. . ; . This
American family represents
$79,100 of the nation's wealth.
Perhaps the easiest way to realize this stupendous
figure is to compare it with (the total value of the
entire material wealth of our country.
The latest available government reports show that
everything we ownland, buildings, railroads, mines,
raw materials, manufactured products, crops, live stock
everything included was 321 billions. . . . Our lives
are worth nearly five times as much as our property.
America can well be proud of the additional insur
ance placed on the valuable lives of her people in 1926.
More than 16 billion dollars ($16,000,000,000) was
written and revived during the year by about 300
life insurance , companies making the total amount
of life insurance in force approximately 80 billion dol
lars ($80,000,000,000).
About one sixth of the grand
total is carried by the
Metropolitan. .
But while the people of s
this country carry 80 billion

only one-twentieth of the
economic value of their lives
