Newspaper Page Text-TUESDAY MORNINGJUNE- 21, 1927 2L THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON Elsinore Theater If husbands have the right, or rather take the opportunity to flirt, over week ends with pretty flappers, then the wives should have the same privilege. At least thaf Is the lesson taught to three deceiving hushands In "Cradle Snatchers," a delightful fare4 which shows at the Elsinore today. For sher fun this picture has had no -iual on the screen in years. The Idea of three wires hiring three college boys to play the part of Romeos to give their husbands a taste'of their own med icine, worked out as it is in this Fox Films farce, appeals to the .wnse of. humor and the pustlce of things. Of course one of the wives, played by Louise Fazenda. forgets that it is strictly business with her hired lover, and he, too. gets in terested and forgets that he is only to play a part. Then there is the. blond viking, who is chosen by another wife, played by Ethel Wales. He is very timid in the beginning, but later well, he be comes interested. And then Doro thy Phillips; the wife who con cocted the scheme of getting even with the husbands and finds she has lost control of the situation until the hubbies return. But see this picture for yourself and enjoy an hour and a half of laughter. Charles- Frohman will present "The Honor of the Family" in the Elsinore theater Wednesday, eve ' nlng. June 22. Otis Skinner is the star and the character he plays that of the devil-may-care Colonel Philippe Bridau is one of his most suc cessful and individual portrayals. The tempestuous and indomitable Colonel was born in a story by Balzac, which that master called Tn Menage de Garcon." Then Paul Potter put this story into i English for the use of Otis Skin ner and called it "The Honor ofj the Family." Thus the play has ben an im pressive lineage and this lineage has bfn carefullr preserved in I Its adaptation for the English rpeaking stage. In Otis Skinner's characteriza tion of the Colonel there is the true Balzacian flavor. In flaring frock coat, boots that are down at the heel, fingers protruding from the broken tips of his gloves, a battered beaver hat at a jaunty angle on .his insolent head, a bus-ihess-Iike-looking cane nnder his arm. a soiled rosette of an officer of "The Legion of Honor" in his button hole, Bridau steps from the tory of Balzac and 1s given con vincing reality by the art of Otis Skinner. 1 All the prim'tive emotions are actively at play, in "The Honor of BAKER HERALDED HERE OLDEST OF PIONEERS - Coat inued from 1.) challenge, "to the title of oldest person present at the picnic.

Love and greed and envy are the very human stuff of which it is fashioned; all woven into a story in which romance and comedy gaily sport hand in hand "Thp Honor of the Family" is the .'heater at It: best. It is based on fictu. ill ties but is expressed In terms that make the theater place of d. lixht and a retreat from th rorrndMiK harshness of work aday lif. The plav has to do with th case of an used miser who has he conie ening'ed in the schemes of these altoi: t him who covet his money. riivff-ss seems certain for them, wh-n 'he old man's nephew Ciilcnel Philippe Bridau. hero o Aufterlitz. a principal in many duels, card-sharp, and amiable ruffhin appears on the scene. The Colonel immediately scents a grea wealth. His rivals are keen wit ted, but the Colonel is keener wit tod still, and he triumphs in his masterly way. In support of Mr. Skinner, an excellent company has been select ed. The players include Jessie Royce Landis, Eugenie Wood ward. Julia Shaw. Robert Harri son, Courtney White. Harry Burk hardt, D. V. Deering. Edward But ler. William Clark. Albert Berg William Granger and Wilson Rey nolds. Oregon Theater "God Gave Me Twenty Cents." shows at the Oregon today. Wed nesday and Thursday. Herbert Brenon's latest Paramount pro duction was adapted by John Rus sell from Dixie Willson's story and in it. Brenon has caught all the color, comedy, beauty and sus nense contained in the original story. As the heroine, charming Lois Moran is better than ever, serving as a splendid contrast to the dark beauty loaned by Lya de Putti (the sensation of "Variety,") Jack Mulhall is good in whatever he does, and this, his latest part, is no exception to the rule. Appear- ing as a "hoavy" for the first time, William Collier Jr. does well in the fourth major role. "God Gave Me Twenty Cents.' opens during the New Orleans Mardi Gras. Mulhall. a rough sailor, meets Lois and they are married. Some days later, when his boat is about to leave. Miss de Putti, an old flame, enters into the plot and the happiness of the newlyweds. How she uses an old gambling trick in her effort to win back this man of hers, and what eventually happens as she almost succeeds, make Mr. Bren- non's current film one that can easllv be placed on the same high plane as, his justly famous "Bean Geste." Saturday and Sunday at Champoeg Park. Senator Chas. L. McNary spoke at the auditorium Saturday night to a large audience. On Sunday at 11 A. M.. Rev. C. E. Wharton of the Pomona Grange of 'Washington county, delivered an address on 'The Makers of History." at the close of which Oliver C. Yocum, the old time Mt.

(AP) President Coolidge worked at his desk in Rapid City for sev eral hours today and then invited a South Dakotan to the summer White House as his first dinner guest since coming to the Black Hills.. The guest was Opie Chambers, secretary of the Yankton, S. D.. chamber of commerce, who, in 1924 took a prominent part in Mr. Coolidge's primary campaign in this state, which was lost to Hiram W. Johnson by little more than 1,000 votes. Motoring to the state game lodge, Chambers recalled how he went to Washington after the cam paign to report to his chief, tell ing him he was sorry the state was not won, and how the presi dent had remarked: "No need for apologies. I con sider the outcome a victory." But tonight as the first summer White House guest, Mr. Chambers made it plain that there was to be no politics discussed and that the visit was purely social. "I am going to tell Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, however," the Yankton man said before leaving Rapid City, "that since they have come here the people of South Dakota have developed a genuine admira tion for them." While Mrs. Coolidge braved a rain in an attempt to equal the angling record of her husband, the president motored t4 miles to and from the summer White House to transact some business and re ceive callers at Rapid City. The trip, however, was over gravel roads which suffered nothing from the downpour. Among the callers was Gover nor Bulow of South Dakota, who came to pay his respects before taking up the duties of a special legislative session in Pierre, and a group which invited the president to the Indian agency, 100 miles from the lodge. Mr. Coolidge gave encouragement for his attendance. Should he go there he would see an old time western Indian fight, with a fort besieged by "savages" in warpaint and regalia. The president also took under advisement an invitation to at tend a farmers' picnic in Ard more, 8. D., at which 10,000 are expected. His Order Judge (rapping on desk) Or- der, gentlemen, order!"
