THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON ;
SUNDAY MORNING. MARCH 20, 1927
S i D H I. I G.M
. Elslnore Theater .
The attraction - for the Sunday
and Monday showing at the Elai
nore theater is one of those un-
.usual offerings that are eagerly
sought by managers but are
Jound all lob seldom. Even such
exacting producers as Fanchon
and Marco cannot continually
maintain a. uniform standard of
entertainment in their produc-tions.'-The
uttual run of the Elui
oreH revues is very good at times
'there, are exceptional offerings.
fTblg ig one of those times.
Roy Smoot, nationally known
' tenor, is the headliner and, unless
Los Angeles critics flatter grossly
possesses a voice of unusual
.charm and quality. He is sup
ported or, one might almost' say,
overshadowed, by the twenty un
usually 'beautiful Hollyrood girls
'.who form the cast. For grace,
r' poise and uniform beauty of face
and figure, no show this season
carries their equal.
; Miss Fanchon personally select
ed and schooled this particular
group of winsome girls, training
'six' of them in original specialties
and the entire twenty in a series
Jot 'ensemble numbers that are ex
ceptionally intricate and pleasing.
, ' -"The offering is presented in
three vividly contrasting but qual
lr pleasing - episodes:. "Winter
Carnival.' '.'Indian . Legend" and
"The Mardi Gras." The first
. ,fihows the girls in the chic cos--lumeg
of -winter sports and is live
ly and intriguing. The "Indian
'Legend" is beautifully Bet in art
xioveau stage effects and presents
ome very clever dancing specialty
number in costume. The "Mardi
Gras" is an idealized peep Into old
New Orleans --during the famous
Carnival of mirth that, holds sway
there yearly.. It ends in a blaze
jt lights, music and laughter that
iinakes for the best in stage enter
jfclwfoent. Throughout the three
"partfe of the revue, the costumes
jjnd Jottings are ultra modern, the
Voiceslare excellent and the girls
fire trply beautiful. You will en-
' Joy it.

The use of snow, apart from
providing the basis of numerous
comedy highlights in "The ' Be
loved Rogue." proved highly ad
vantageous in emphasizing the
diiving action of some of the
scenes. '- ,
William Cameron Menzies, art
director of "The Beloved Rogue,"
and rated the leader in his profes
sion, used snowstorm etfeeta par
ticularly during the portlonof.the
picture which reveals the. impuls
ive Villon as a housebreaker. Such
an undertaking being best not dis
closed to pu,blic knowledge, the
secretive nature of his prowling
over the picturesque rooftops and
through the rahbit warren of Pari3
streets is made more striking by
the swirling, drifting snow, which
lends an effect of concealment to

Barrymore, in his portrayel of
Francois Villon, had in support
the great .European character ac
tor, Conrad Veidt, as Louis XI.
Marceline Day as the fascinating
Charlotte de Vauxcelles, Villon's
sweetheart, makes "The. Eeloved
Rogue" the most colorful, roman
tic screen story in the history of
motion pictures. '
Hollywood Theater
Mary Pickford, who has made
a score of screen masterpieces and
brought pleasure to millions, has
just completed a picture which is
said by many critics to be the best
of her career.
The picture is "Sparrows," a
United Artists Corporation rer
lease, which shows at the Holly
wood theater for two days, March
20 and 21.
The role of Mama Mollie offers
to Mary Pickford a splendid op
portunity. At times she Is an
impish, mischievous little' hoyden,
and yet a gam the tender mother
heart yearning over the sorrows of
the babies and comforting them
with stolen dreams and magic
kisses.
There is no fine raiment for
"The World's Sweetheart" in this
picture, no gorgeous costumes nor
fairy princes. Quainter than An
nie" Rooney, sweeter than ever,
until the" very end of the picture,
she is tattered" and torn, bareleg
ged, ragged, but radiant.
There is not a dull moment in
the story, and the picture is brim
ming with comedy. It has punch
and thrills and suspense--every-thing
a successful picture needs,
and in addition it has the one and
only ,Mary Pickford".' ', '

Strictly Graded City System
Planned; Teachers Assign
ed From Normal
OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL,
Monmouth, March 19. (Special.)
The demand for practice work in
the training . department at the
Oregon normal school continues
to increase. Recently President
Landers has made a reorganiza
tion of work in two of the depart
ments which enables him to meet
this pressing demand in a very
satisfactory manner. A new
course in junior practice is under
consideration by the president,
and if found satisfactory, will be
used to some extent in the future.
The new organization calls for
the changing of the school at
Rickreall from a rural center to a
strictly city graded system. The
practice work will be conducted
there in the sane manner as it is
now done In Monmouth and In
dependence, and only senior stud
ents of high ranking will be select
e'd for thi3 work. Eighteen sen
iors have been chosen and are now
ready to take up their work at the
beginning of the Spring term. The
following facts concerning these
people will teach at Rickreall are
of interest. The majority of them
have had college work, ranging
from 1 to 4 years. This must be
understood to be preparation be
yond the normal school. Then,
too, a good percentage are teach
ers of experience.
All .the necessary changes for'
shifting the Rickreall school into!
the new organization have been
made. This gives to this little
town a most exceptional advan
tage in educational lines. It is
doubtful if another town for its
size in the state will have better
advantages for the school chi!-i
dren. It is! not generally known
that practically a new dormitory
has been constructed and furnish
ed to accommodate the young
women who will teach in Rick
reall. This gives to those who go
there living conditions second only
to the dormitory in Monmouth.
Rickreall is1 the junction of two of
the principal highways of the AVil
lamette valley and is situated
within easy reach of Portland,
Dallas, Salem and Monmouth.
Those students assigned to
Rickreall are Thelma Beach, Port
land; Edna Drake, Molalla: Geor
gia Finley, Portland; Florence
Snow, Portland; Fannie Todd,
HermiBton; Olga t'otila, Astoria:
Beatrice Anderson, Portland; J.

which resulted in the mountaineer
being sentenced to life imprison-fc-ent
for a "murder" that was
u-ver committed.
Two of the three principals to
day disclosed the circumstances
under which Mary Vickery, 16,
disappeared; some bones were
found latfr in an abandoned sheft.
and a woman's revenge sent Con-
y Dabney. 3H. to the Frankfort
riormatory under life sentence.
The third, Mary Jackson. 27. was
in jil as a sequel. Her story has
not been told.
Mary Vickery appeared at her
former home here today after be
ing missing, and considered dead
since August. 1925, and broke a
silence that has kept Dabney in
prison for more than a year.
"I disappeared from home be
cause I was not happy with the
home life with my father and step
mother," she said "I had Conley
Dabney take me in an automobile
to a country railroad station. He
left me there and drove away. 1
tcck the train to Cincinnati, where
I work'ed in a woolen mill.
"I heard about Dabney being
charged with killing me, but I
cdn't want to be taken back home
so I kept still and did not reveal
that I was still alive. I stood it
as long as I could and then de
cided to make it known that I
was alive, so Dabney could be set
free. I didn't want to go home,
f-o I came to Williamsburg, where
1 formerly lived."
From his prison cell, in the re
formatory, Dabney told his story.
He attributed his predicament to
a chance acquaintance with Marie
