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.

actively at play, in "The Honor of

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

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

as a splendid contrast to the dark

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

DAKOTA POLITICIAN
PRESIDENT'S GUEST
Worker for Coolidge in 1924
Campaign Dines at Sum
mer White House
RAPID CITY. S. D. June 20.
(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.
