- ,2 SIDE t.. 1 Ca Hf 'Frisco Sally ; Lery.' . Metro-Goldwyn-THayer's vividly' , human comedy romance.xjpens at tbe Cap- itol theater Sunday. It -concerns a girl, dancer, two lovers,' and a quaint, lovable home where a Jew ish fathe and an , Irish mother preside over their daughter's des tiny. It has i pathos and humor an,d everyday realism, and is a faithful portrayal of life in the modern city: Sally O'Nell, the herolneof "Mike" and other fam ous screen successes, plays the girUlRoy P'Arcy, the villain, and Charles Delaney the hero. Trou ble, for a time, hangs over' the little home.' The villain, a wealthy Jewish broker, tries to lure Sally away. from, the honest love of hjer Irish policeman. There is some swift-moving Irish 1 temper before the unexpected climax.. It was,dt rected by, William Beaudine, res eponsible for some "of the screen's most famous - entertainments, among them Mary Pickford's "Lit tle Annie- Rooney." : ... . KLslnore Bebe Daniels has raised her ever mounting standard of t excellence another notch. "Senorita" which shows at the Elsinore today, is the best thing that the fascinating Bebe has ever done. The story of "Senorita" is the kind that this . fascinating Para mount' star does the best. It is packed with-romance and 'advent ure and amusing situations. We see her first as an up to the min ute American girl, winning a polo match and, despite her alluring femininity, doing everything that a man can do in the field of sports and doing it better than most men. , -And then we see her visiting her grandfather in South America and learn th$t he has always con sidered her as being a boy. Rath er than, disappoint him she dons masculine disguise and then the tun begins. With her background of jsport she outrides, outshoots, ontfences and outwits the cabal leros of her grandfather's estate end those of his ancestral enemy, Of course there Is a love story, and Bebe is seen alternating in Program and Picnic "weatly Enjoyed as Work Comes to End This Term 1IAYKSVILL.K, May 28.

" Oregon Theater Once in an age there comes to the-screen a picture that can be truly classed as epochal. Such a production is "The Yankee Clip per," which shows at the Oregon theater today. "The' Yankee Clipper" is epochal in that it brings to, the motion picture public something new, re freshing and exhilarating in the way of entertainment. For which this reviewer -is duly grateful. The something new offered by "The Yankee Clipper" is the rev elation of a chapter in American history hitherto untouched by writers for and producers of the silent drama. It is that period of a quarter" of a century just prior to end during the Civil war, theera of the famous clipper ship which brought glory to the American shipbuilding industry and won for this country the commercial su premacy of the sea. The refreshing element in this fine picture is the unhackneyed plot of a drama that grips your attention in the first reel and holds It through a well developed con tinuity to the final smashing clim ax. The exhilaration is supplied by the genuinely thrilling realism of a storm at sea, with th "Clip per" battling her way through a terrific typhoon around Cape Horn, and the justly, red-blooded battle in which handsome and rugged Bill Boyd quells a gang of villainous mutineers after a great fight in which no holds are barred.

This carried with 158 for, to 125 against. Previous to this vote the Rev. Mr. Lindseth announced that it was his opinion that a two-thirds majority should carry this if it were to be effective, so this motion was considered a trial vote. B. Tinglestad, who is a member of the Uni6n committee, then spoke for all English services in the one church with Norwegian services in the other. At a form i er meeting a similiar motion, in which St. John's church was speci fied for the English services, was defeated for the reason that St. John's church, which is situated on; East Hill, is not centrally lo cated while Trinity church, is. Ubether or not this motion would carry should Trinity church be mentioned for the English church was not learned a3 Mr. Tinglestad s4iid that as far as he was con cerned either church would do, and hfe would suggest the matter be considered for a time. i The meeting was adjourned un til the evening of June 3.

That Pratum is" a very attractive place for people, to live is unani mously admitted by almost' every one who has ever been here, and an average Sunday school attend ance of 300 proves beyond a doubt that this is a very desirable com munity. However, there is a ques tion in the minds of the people here why this community should be so attractive to escaped con victs. It is well remembered that when Kelley and his partners drove through this place and hid in the woods east of the town. Then late Thursday night or early Friday morning the convict who escaped recently entered the Prat um Mercantile store, owned by V. J. Kreabiel, and took what he could use. Many people from here have attended the revival meeting at the First Evangelical church in Salem during the past week. Mrs. Paul Silke andher young est json, Paul William, are at Dil lonvale, Ohio. She was called back there to attend the funeral of her mother. The narrow fill between here and Fruitland is being made wider by Hersen sc Lambert. Mr. and Mrs.s Gilbert Henry, who were married at the Mennon ite church last Sunday,, returned from their honeymoon trip to the coast and are now living on Mrs. Mary Butler's farm.
