FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 8r" 1927
John Gilbert, dashing hero of
'The Big Parade" and "The Merry
"Widow." Is opening at the Elsl

ises to be the greatest role he has
yet' attempted.
"Flesh' and the Devil," which
showed to over 400,000 people in
its extended run at the Capitol
theater in New York city and has

Supported by beautiful Greta

of the story. Gilbert handles a role

ing. The) story is that of a passion-mad
lover- fighting against
hit .own common sense and will
power in his mad quest ofa worth
less but dangerously alluring wo-
. man. It is a theme as old as time,
but always interesting, doubly so
with such screen headliners in the
leading roles.

The three Crowell Sisters in
itheir classic "Instrumental Inter-
lude" present one of the finest
musical offerings in vaudeville.
Harold Alberto calls himself the
"Cay Deceiver." He is all of that,
end more. His offering consists of
some original' sleight of hand ef
fects, accompanied by a clever line
ol monologue.
Tom, Woods and Frank Francis
are-two northern boys from the.
South, and their billing, "Don .

tight onto your seats when you
start in to laugh at their funny
quips.
Living up to his name, Frank
Reckless, assisted by twe girl?,
presents a novelty in the acrobatic
balancing line. They present the
kind of stunts that cause many to

though they ere far from all harm.
TWO COUNTY COURTS
TALK ENFORCEMENT

man Contemplated; Dance
i Halls to Aid
Efforts to carry on a more
strict enforcement of the prohi
bitiqn laws will be discussed today
by representatives of the Polk and
Marion county courts, in reference
particularly, to dance halls proxi
mate to Salem on the Polk county
side of the river. ' "
Through no fault of the oper
ators of the halls under consider
ation, liquor is continually on the
move at each dance, and a ten
tative plan of hiring a watchman
for both the Mellow Moon tand
chindler's pavilions on their open
nights is considered.
1 In a statement made last night
Schindler Bros, said: "Any move
to further law enforcement at our
hall will be favored and strictly
Complied with. We want the rep
utation of operating a clean place
and will try harder in the future to
keep it such."
Riding on a wave of public fer
vor, prohibition enforcement offi
cers, deputy sheriffs and city po
, lice are clamping down so hard
that one prominent bootlegger is
reported to have lost three of his
best' salesmen in the past week
by arrest and fear to continue.
This; is not the only case of similar
circumstances.

joyous comedy, starring Edward

into spasms of mirth. It shows

All honor to Pollard and his ad
mirable cast in this rollicking pic

than any picture shown here in
months. There Is not a dragging
mrment in this brilliant photoplay
which whizzed from beginning to
end with the speed of a comet.
The sub-titles, which often make
o- break the picture, are an ad
ditional brightness to a rapidly
moving plot which heightens com
edy by its Intricacies.
Horton is funnier than ever in
"Poker Faces," and appears In one
sequence in one of the funniest

describe It would be Impossible.
To see it brings the house down in

pondence." Efoerhardt and Latimer have
concurred in the suggestion, it
was added, the statement otonclud
ingwith an expression deploring
continued civil war in Nicaragua
and if the "very great" necessity
of protecting Americab private
and public interests in that coun
try.
Secretary Kellogg refused to
throw further light upon the Stim

ficially, however, that Mr. Kellogg
had given no consideration to
proposals from President Diaz of
Nicaragua for treaty relations es
tablishing an American protecto

CINCINNATI. (AP) In the
hollows of Ohio's rolling hills, 10
miles from here, lies the town
that Mother Emery built
It has no mayor, no council, no
government. Five hundred peak
ed and gabled houses compose it,
aad its citizens live a community
lite, as Mother Emery wants them
to.
"Mariemont" is its name. It
was built by Mrs. Mary Emery,
wealthy Cincinnati social leader
and philanthropist, as an experi
ment in community living. She
wanted to give the workers' fam
ilies an exclusive residential liv
ing place of ideal environment
a,t cheap rent. The town was
named for her, "Mary" becoming
Marie" in the spelling.
Most of Mariemont's residents
work in Cincinnati and commute
to their homes. The village is a
slice of old England, all of its
structures faithful to the English
style of architecture.
There are public greens and
commons where the children
and there are plenty romp and
Play. Occasionally they give a
pageant in the town schoolhouse
for Mother Emery and the towns
people.
Mariemont has two appurten
ances of a regular town a fire
department and a police force. A
big red ladder truck reposes in a
little gabled flrehouse, and two
men are on the force. The police
pdwer is vested in one man. This
protection is paid for by a com
pany of which Mrs. Emery is sole
owner and stockholder. The com
pany keeps the streets clean, re
pairs the houses, and runs the

POPULAR IN LONDON
Pep in Music and Dancing
Believed Secret of Demand
in Cabarets
LONDON. (AP) Negro sing
ers and dancers are more popular
in London today than at any per
iod in history. .Many of them,
having regular theater engag
ments, are working long hours
overtime in the caberets and at
private performances
The popularity of the negro
dancers is attributed to their
sprightliness the pep they put
into their steps, and the singers
are in demand because of their
originality, their barbaric enthus
iasm and the amusement they
themselves sem to gain by amus
ing others.
The "Blackbirds," an all-Anier-ican
negro troupe, coming here
from Paris several months ago
caught oik at once, and has been
filling the house at every perform
ance. The Prince of Wales has
heard their negro melodies an
even dozen times.
Taking advantage of the craze
for jazz as dished out by real ne
gro artists, English managers
have started three traveling com
panies on the road who are play
ing suburbs and provinces.
The "color" craze has even
reached the department stores,
where black and colored wax mod
els have been introduced to the
public in the street display win
dows, j
Commenting on the "color"
craze, the London Daily News, un
der the heading "Thinking Black"
says:
"In a fashionable West End
shop the display of mannequins
are black as ebony. In Paris the
vogue is for gilded figures. Poss
ibly .the popularity of Miss Flor
ence Mills and her brilliant col
leagues in 'The Blackbirds,' is re
sponsible for the West End
thinking black.' "

FISH HI
Quotation From Kipling on
Oregon Sport Appreciated
by President
PORTLAND, April 7 (AP)
"I have lived! The American con
tinent may now sink under the
sea, for I have taken the best that
it yields, and the best was neither
dollars, nor love, nor real estate."
That phrase, made famous by
Rndyard Kipling in. his descrip
tion of his battle with a 12-pound
salmon in the Clackamas river, to
gether with the rest of the tale,
was sent to President Coolidge by
E. P. Averill. state game warden,
in an invitation to spend part of
the coming summer in Oregon.
But, the president failed to ac
cept the invitation, in a polite and
brief note from his secretary,
Everett Sanders.
"Many men have crossed the
continent to fish for salmon in
the Willamette river at the lalls
near Oregon City," wrote Averill.
"Others have crossed oceans as
well as the continent for the priv
ilege of taking steel heads from
the Rogue river or Clackamas. We
honestly believe no state in the
Union offers such a variety or
such excellent fishing."
The answer:
"The White House.
"The president wishes me to
express his appreciation of your
thoughtfulness in writing him on
the joys to be found in fishing in
Oregon. I am, sure he will read
Rudyard Kipling's account of his
experience with a great deal of
pleasure.
"Sincerely,
"Everett Sanders,
"Secretary to the president."
