it r 2 5 l D G U b6 H TS OF THE . ' Elslnor Theater Far from the well worn path of conventions; far from the cut and dried feature,, production; ul tra modern In " every respect Is "Pal's in Paradise." a Metropoli tan picture directed by George B. Seitz. which will be on view at the Elsinore, May 24, 25 and 26. Mr. Seitz, whose ability as ay director Teceived a challenge in "The Vanishing American." ''Wild Horse Mesa" and "The Last Frontier" and which challenge was accepted, is bringing to the screen a brand new type of west ern story. Peter B. Kyne, who knows his west,- deserted the well beaten paths in writing "Pals in Para dise' and has brought to his read ers a new West the West of to day. I. . "' "Pals in Paradise", boasts no cowboys riding. ' down the main street of , a new found town in chap;, shooting in the.air 'rarin to go. But It does bring to light the modern mining town the set tlement brought to notice through a new- gold discovery. With the news comes the rush of soldiers of fortune, Teal estate agents, gasoline-filling stations and the mad rush km rubber of those seeking a fortune in yellow metal. Modern methods of extracting and refining gold; modern house hold appliances jueh as fracuum cleaners and electric washing-ma-chlnqp, modern palaces of pleasure the soda grill and penny dance halt-WMl are here! And though It is a most modern version of frontier life in a n mining town there are thrills, humor and sen timent aplenty. v Rudolph Schildkraut. Margue rite De La Motte, May Robson. John Bowers, and Alan Brooks have the featured roles. Capitol Theater A picture described as the world's funniest comedy which shows at the Capitol May 24 and 25. It is "Rookies." with Karl Dane and George K. Arthur fea tured as a new comedy team, with Marceline Day in the leading fem inine role. Sam Wood directed this new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer success from a story and continu 1 ity by Byron Morgan. "Rookies" tells an exceedingly amusing tale of life in a citizens' military training camp. Dane has the role of a hard-boiled top-sergeant whose rival for the hand of Marceline Day is a scrubby young private played in inimitable fashion by George K. Arthur. The warfare between these two is car ried on through scenes of alter . ate Jaughter and terror, as many ; episodes take place in a runaway balloon above the clouds. Cooperation from the United States government in staging this production has made possible an authentic and graphic background or military life in the' training tamps. Oregon Theater New York!

The biggest things are the sim plest. Not complexity of emotion but its depth and truth mark real greatness. In the instance of "Ben Hur," love and revenge are the supreme motives. Revenge to overthrow the Roman who de stroyed the House of Hur; Love, an inconsolable passion that made him search the wide world over to find his lost mother and sis ter, and Love, the flowering of youth's emotions to his true mate Esther; these are the keys to Ben Hur's heart, and these are the ele ments of appeal that make his story so engrossing. This marvel ous story has now been plcturized for the first time from the world famous novel and stage play, and will be presented at the Oregon theater May 27. The great motives of the picture find their climax in the Antioch Chariot race when Ben-Hur over throws his enemy Messala and in the wondrous ending where Es ther finds the lost ones and brings them to the Saviour to be healed.

" "Well, it hasn't been anything like I thought it was to be," said the modest Missourian, who brought letters of introduction with him on his flight because he knew no one in France. Wants to See Paris He had been on his feet almost the entire day but what he want ed most to do, he said, was to walk around and see some of Paris, if possible." The first thing this morning a tailor came to measure him for a suit of clothes, which will be de livered tomorrow an all-time speed record for French tailors. Then he hurried out to Le Bourget to take a look at the "old bus" that brought him over from. New York. He found it had not been very much damaged by the crowd that crushed against It when he arrived Saturday night. and the mechanics promised to have it fully repaired by tomor row. Will Fly Again Soon He Is going out to Le Bourget again tomorrow afternoon to bid bon voyage to two French avia tors, Costes and Rignot, who ex pect to take off for Tokyo. Lind bergh wants to make a flight over Paris, and he may do it tomorrow. He intends to fly to Brussels Sat urday, and on Monday will take his plane over the channel to Lon don. In the meantime all his days in Paris are likely to be as full of engagements as was today. "I am not in any hurry to get home for I want to see a little of Europe while I am over here," the boyish genius of the air Bald this evening. "I haven't accepted any offers that have come to me from America and I am not going to consider any until I get home. We didn't take the flight with that idea in mind. We didn't come over here with any million dollar ambitions." Fatigue Lines Show There were little dark rings of of fatigue beginning to show be neath Lindbergh's eyes tonight, but he received two delegations of newspapermen. Lindbergh, tired as he was, consented to talk with them a while. He light heartedly parried cas ual questions that touched on sundry subjects, but when any thing was asked about his plane or his flight, or something ger mane to aviation, his smile would pass, his slim body would bend over a little near to the man who happened to be addressing him SEE IT TODAY And WED.

Proud of Equipment He seemed never to weary talking about his earth Induction compass, to which he attributed the fact that all the way through darkness and storms over land and sea his plane stayed steadily on its course and on the time schedule he had planned before leaving New York. General Pershing was one of the few Americana who succeeded in getting past the concierge on guard at the gate of the embassy today. Paul Claudel, French min ister to the United States, was an other of those who saw Lind bergh. It was his second visit. the flier being still asleep when he called yesterday. Another to whom Lindbergh gave some of his precious time was M. Levasseur, builder of the plane in which Nungesser and Coli set out for America. They talked together for an hour. Sir Alan Cobham, noted British flier, who flew here yesterday especially to congratulate Lindbergh, also had a long talk with him. Poem to Lindbergh Gives Praise to Yank Soldiers PARIS, May 23. (AP) Two of the striking stanzas from the poem to Captain Lindbergh, writ ten on the flying field of Le Bour get, by the celebrated poet Maur ice Rostand, Saturday night, translated, are: Dost know who let you hold in check Death, distance and solitude? Dost know who caused you to ar rive With such exactitude? 'Twas those young men, .with hearts' so brave, Who, full of ferver and good will Came from your home, too soon forgot To die for France. Theater-Party Greatly Enjoyed by Company B Fifty-five members of Company R. 162nd infantry, attended a 9 o'clock show at the Capitol, thea ter last night upon the invitation of Frank Bligh. The picture, "The Rookies," was shown and it won the hearty praise oi" every national guardsman. This theater party proved a diversion to the men, and was very welcome; but it no doubt added greatly to the "esprit de corps" of the com pany. USAs Now! 'sk Ton a v WED.

May 23. (Special.) -Friday marked the close of a most successful year for tne Brooks school, district number 31, under the direction of Professor H. M.( Clinesmith assisted most capably by Miss Tressie Town. A field meet was held in the forenoon on the school grounds.

After dinner a program com mencing with a aenate Dy eignt students of the upper grades and followed by musical numbers and recitations of nearly all pf the students was enjoyed. Of special interest was the prophecy of 20 years hence given by Hattie Ramp and Elizabeth Colyer. At the close of the program Pro fessor Clinesmith made a pre sentation of awards to the eight students who had not been tardy nor. missed a day during the en tire school year.
