The stirring melodrama of the
underworld, "The Show," shows
at the Oregon May 8-9 at the Ore
gon theater, is one of the most
thrilling attractions that has come
to the screen in some time. It
was. directed by Tod Browning
who was responsible for "The Un
holy Three" and "The Blackbird,"
those other memorable Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
adventures of the
crook in his own world of crime
and intrigue, and has all their
brilliant touches plus the lure of
a foreign background. For "The
Show" takes, placeln Vienna.
John Gilbert is the star. He
gives a wonderful performance as
a dashing, daredevil fellow, a
barker at a side-show, who hauls
the people -into the Tent of Illu
sions by the sheer force of his per
sonality. Guilty of robbery, and
hunted 'by the police, he unwit
ting becomes the object of jealous
hatred by the underworld's most
ferocious character, flow he twice
escapes horrible death through
the intervention of a girl he first
spurns and later, learns to love,
and how he finally experiences re
generation, makes a tensely vivid
tale .that runs the gamut of emo
tions. Renee Adoree plays- the
feminine lead., the role of a girl
having passionate- adoration for
Jler Man,; in a truly talented
