TT3 PACLTIC TELETHONS Honorable Wn Revue, coming to the Elslnore theater, March 13-14, a wonderful kaleidoscope of color. No race tot people has the ex quisite sense of color as the Chi nese. " ' ' " ' '-, ' The revue stars Harry Gee Haw, a gifted youth, who sings In per fect English and in a musically pleasing voice. He dances with a light grace doing the 'Merry Wid ow waits and the Cake Walk with Miss Lily Lowe, one of the Lotos Blossoms. His easy versatility is further shown In his impersona tions of .Eddie Cantor doing his famous Sister Gussie song and of AI. Jolson and his manner of sing ing the Lullaby Rock A Bye Days. He adds an imitation of Frisco, the famous Jazz dancer.' The Revue, under the carefully selective hand of its producer, Er wln Connelly, not only sparkles with color, gold and silken em broidery, but glitters with genuine entertainment values. Seven Chi nese chorus men open with a na tive song. The act against an elaborate background then pre sents an oriental orchestra which gives a sample of jazz as It was played In China thousands of years ago, and the Jazz of today. The lotus blossom sisters dance prettily, the jazz orchestra by a change of costume and Instrument becomes a hawaiian chorus. A Chinese tenor in a well enun ciated english and occidental un derstanding of the melody he sings gives "In The Garden of My Heart," and the act closes ' with the entire company doing the Shanghai bop. Harry Gee Haw contributes much to the act. He brings to his work that very rare quality which emanates from his own keen ap preciation of the beauty of living and from the joy of what he' is doing. One other artist possesses the same quality , he is Henry Santrey. Harry Gee Haw does his impersonations, songs and dances with all the enthusiasm of a debut performance. To the audience this is refreshing and conveys to them the impression that they have witnessed, a premiere per formance. Richard Dix in "The Quarter back'? will be the pieture at the Elslnore theater for two .days, March 13 and 14. .. , , - Oregon Theater One of the most . charming comedies presented here in many a month is "For Wives Only," starring Marie Prevost and featur Ing Victor Varconi, who made such a hit in Cecil B. De Mille's pro duction, "The Volga Boatman, which will 'show at the Oregon theater for three days, March 12, 13 and 14. Miss Prevost' is delightful and quite artistic as" the wife of a physician of Vienna who, compel led to leave town on a business trip, leaves his bride in the care of thr"ee of his best friends. They at once abuse their trust but never offensively, so that subsequent happenings provoke laughter rath er than hostility. Miss Prevost plays with her amorous admirers as a cat does with a mouse and never loses control of herself There are numerous comedy scenes, all of which keep the au dience in good humor to the close. Mr. Varconi, as the husband, is manly and thoroughly convincing. He has magnetism and evinces Btellar talents of the. highest order.

() LOCALS TRIUMPH OVER LA GRANDE IN GAME (Continued from pe 1.) it was inevitable that fouls should be frequent, and they were. The only other scores in the first quarter were a long shot by Lyman of La Grande and two free throws by Olinger, and Salem led 4 to 3 at the end of the period. In the second quarter the red and black began to steady. Sieg mund and Lyons each got a field basket, and two more converted free throws by Olinger and Duffy brought the score at the half-up to 10 to S, La Grande's two points in the second quarter being con tributed by Lyman. Things began happening with a rush at the opening of the second half. . Lyman was fouled in the act of making a successful shot, and he converted two tree throws as a result. . Zundell poked in a Ions one, and La Grande was ahead, 11 to 10. , Then Duffey, who had been hav ing bad luck with his shots, sud denly recovered bis accuracy and began rolling in points almost as fast as they could be chalked up on the score board. And as for- La Grande's attack, the thing happened that always happens to a team that relies on long shots; they wouldn't go in when they, were needed. - This team had used -a fast breaking of fense the night before, and its un fortunate change of tactics could only - be explained by a psycholo gist, so the use of that term in sports is vindicated after alL -The score at the end of the third quarter was 20 to 11, and Salem added nine mora points and held March 1 2, 1 3 and 1 4 v - i ' x the eastern Oregon team score less in the final period.

Borodin, wife of the adviser to the Cantonese gov ernment, and three Russian cour iers. The soviet officials clearly mis trust the assurances of the Chi nese authorities as to the safety of the captives and fear that Mme. Borodin, and her fellow prisoners will meet short shrift should they fall into the hands of white Rus sians attached to the northern army. . Accordingly the soviet govern ment has sent a second, and sterner note to Peking, warning that the soviet government will take extreme, measures should mischance befall the Russians. The note calls attention to lack of definite Information regarding the fate of the Russians and says in conclusion: "The embassy of the. Union of Soviet Socialist Republic hereby declares that the Chinese govern ment will bear full responsibility for the safety of the couriers and other persons detained and warns the Chinese government that any violation of their safety might cer tainly bring most serious conse quences and- compel the soviet government to appeal to excep tional measures."
