i THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY MORNING JUNE 4, 1927 5jOJS t I CiM T5 OF THE Kl&lnore Theater That the squeaking of a chair and the rasping honing of a knife can i he made important motiva tions In a motion picture is dram atically shown in "White Gold." Btarring Jetta Goudal -which shows at the Klalnore today, in which Kenneth' Thomson and George Bancroft are featured. Thoughts, moods and environ ments as they affect four strained personalities on a bleat, drought stricken Arizona ranch are the strange elements that Director William K. Howard has woven into on' unusual study of life. In "White Gold" the Innermost processes of the mind are photo graphed. For example, Jetta Goudal, the Btar, follows a path of mental retrogression throughout the story and the disturbing ele ments that contribute to hea de pression are shown by a series of new camera accomplishments. The rasping of a knife being whetted; the squeaking of a rock ing chair working on a mind al ready dispirited by heat and hate, are among the chief factors in the unfolding of the drama. - Basically the film Is a final study of life in the heat-tortured wastes. It makes no attempt at display, but it is-simple in con struction throughout while the story is advanced by a new tech nique. It Is a picture that will long linger in the memory. The star and featured players present ed highly artistic portrayals. Capitol Theater Cinema photography of western vistas has seldom recorded the su blime beauty which serves as a background to the Metro-Goldwyn- f Mayer production. "The Valley of JIell,r starring Francis McDonald al the Capitol theater today. The Big Horn ranch, famous for its natural beauty, in western Ne vada, was chosen as the perma nent location camp of the Francis McDonald company, by Isadore Bernstein, who is supervising a series of eight romantic western dramas presenting this welcome addition to the ranks of western pictures. ? Edna Murphy supports Francis McDonald, a charming bjonde vis Ion of loveliness. William Steele, Tillain than whom there are few more villainous, ably takes care of the "dirty work," Anita Garvin Is the dance hall girl with a bad dis position, while Joe Bennett por trays the difficult role of a disso lute and drunken young brother Of the 'heroine. 'A most, interesting announce ment is made by Bligh's Capitol theater to the effect -that the fan- cms Australian isauonai oana win appear in: this city on Tuesday, J.une 14, for two concerts only. t To all who love music rendered in the finest manner, whether It be classical or otherwise, this should be a most pleasing announcement. This great aggregation of music ians who have deservedly earned the name given it by many of the greatest musical critics in the world, of being "the finest band in the world," have returned to Am erica only a few months after leaving this country on the last lap of their world tour.through the numerous demands and re quests that they once more would gives, lovers of all that is good in music another cnance to hear them. It is doubtful If any band ever created such a furor or left such wonderful impressions as did thg Australians on their recent tour of the world. From Melbourne to Capetown, to Paris? to 'Berlin, to London, to Edinburgh, to Mon treal, to Toronto, and Vancouver pad many other large centers the last avalanche- of unstinted praise would fill volumes. Their praises have, been sounded by press and patrons . alike in such a manner that one can only deduce on ag gregate fact which is, that tfey are undoubtedly the ultimate per fection Inband music ' ' K h The . great .versatility of Qm Australian National band is evi denced by their programs and the fact that lovers of high class music ore everywhere forced to concede their marvelous ability in playing .jaxx numbers with the easy manner and manipulation of the greatest American "Jazx" bands. and the equally wonderful rendi tion of the greatest and most diffi cult overtures.- grand overtures and .suites, as well as the semi classical numbers. -Their .appear ance here1 wilt be nothing short of a revelation in music - 1 .-: " Orefc Theater . ; From . the t- frenzied . shouts of "Ride 'im cowboy! to the . soft romant(e strumming on guitars of "La Paloma from a scene crammed full of action at a west ern rodeo to the winning of a j maiden : tinder moonlit Mexican ikies these are some of the con ' trasts "Somewhere 1b Sonora, - -which snowa t the Oregon theater I They are but few; of the con ! trasts.

It offers opportunities ? for contrast . with : the average j 'western' which , explains why 'Somewbere'ln Sonora" is In a flass all by Itself. For It is su- perlor. The usual methods of In jecting thrills are avoided. May nard's sensational ability to do al most the Impossible In riding stunts takes care of this end. His director, Al Rogell. has seen to It that none of the exhibitions of his skill is forced into the picture. There is a logical reason for the use of every one of them. "Somewhere in Sonora'Ms a tale of Arizona and Mexico, dealing with the troubles the natives had. not merely with the Mexicans, but with a group of American ne-er-do-wells who had organized into a troop of bandits. Naturally, with all the action the picture contains, it has not neglected the love theme. Kathleen Collins. who has appeared in former Ken Maynard pictures, is again seen as the lady for whom Ken May nard fights and wins.
