tion,' which opens at the Klsinore
theater today. It demonstrates
how blonde women tame their
men. -
If you're a brunette don't miss

shows what a brunette can do
when 'competing .with a blonde.
The controversy regarding a
gentleman's preference is fed with
the. fael of mirth by this taucy.
spicy -triangular farce, a-bly direct
ed by Richard Rosson and enacted
by a supporting cast comntensur

portance. The: picture presents Manjou at
his best. In i characterization that
thoroughly fits the story, locale
and setting. As the prosperous
young French attorney, Henri
Martel, Menjou, at the opening of
the tale suddenly rebels against
the transformation of his home
into -a veritable road ho use by jazz
mad acquaintances. He decides
to get rid of them and settle down.

very kind of people he's been try

to a sedate brunette, Arlette
Marchal, who. for the purposes of
the story. Is as somber as her col
oring. It takes two dhorces. three mar
riages, the combined efforts of the
in-laws, a detective, and a quick
witted grandmother to square the
triangle. It would poil every
thing to tell whether the blonde
or brunette wins out but let it be
announced that he marries them

Capitol Theater
Motion picture directors and
producers today face the problem
because of keen competition
of pleasing all of the people all of
the time. They often succeed in
this and just as often fail. But
nevertheless they all strive to ac
complish that objective.
Pleasing all of the people once
is a hard job a big task. That
means satisfying the whims of
I young and old. man and woman,
boy and girl. All In one picture.
Love interest and plenty of thrills
seems to be the movie maker's
main methods in accomplishing'
this and one of the , best examples
of the sort of story thev can do it
with, and do do it with, is at the
Capitol Theater today.
It is another Columbia produc
tion, entitled "The False Alarm."
It Is frank melodrama a fire pic
turein which thero Is all sorts
of derring do and much villainy,
to say nothing of the many thrill
ing scenes showing actual conflag
ration and fire-fighters at work.
In these fire scenes there is a
thrall that holds everyone a pri
mitive something that reveals in
raging and destroying flames.
"The False Alarm" is a good ex
ample of the successful accom
plishment in pleasing all of the
people. Resides its thrills and
sheer melodrama, it has plenty of
heart interest, a four-cornered
love affair that snarls itself up
hut untangles blissfully and partly
tragically in the end.

IE CBY FRUIT
FLY HIS APPEARED
Now Is Time to Go After This
Pest; Is Out in Salem
District Now
The time to make the first ap
plication of spray for the cherry
fruit fly is at hand, and Polk
county cherry growers were noti
fied yesterday of this fact by their
county agent. J. R. Beck.
Each year the Oregon Agricul
tural college and the county ag
ents 'cooperate in keeping up cages
to observe the emergence of this
pest. Cages in various parts of
the valley show that he has come
out.
Special emphasis this year is
being given to the spraying of
every cherry tree. Growers who
have attended to this in past years
find that they materially reduced
the chances of infection by thor
ough spraying and as time goes
on this menace to the cherry in
dustry should be greatly reduced
if careful spraying Is done at the
proper ti'me. Three applications
of fpray are recommended accord
ing to Professor Don C. Mote, en
tomologist ot the OAC experi
ment station. The first applica
tion should be put on at once, ac
cording to the cards sent out by
Mr. Beck. The second applica
tion should be applied about Julj
2, followed by the third applica
tion in those cases where the fruit
has not been picked on the tenth
of July.
The spray formula to use con
sists of V2 pound of lead arsenate
and two quarts of syrup or molas
ses to every 10 gallons of water.
Is Out Near Salem
Pearcy Bros., fruit experts, sent
word last night to The Statesman
office that Henry Crawford, field
man for the Ladd & Bush bank,
has found the cherry fly near
Salem; was detected yesterday
morning.
They recommend that spraying
for the fly be commenced at once
here.

of which the stick is made breaks
and must be replaced: IHs a case

live the king.' Another stick is
chosen from the collection I carry
with me on tour, and is fitted to

He was asked about the coat.
"Ah." said Mr. Skinner, "the coat
is the same coat I wore in the
same role twenty years ago." He
became reminiscent.
"A beautiful coat it was. Made
by a splendid tailor of the finest
of cloths. It had a beautiful vel
vet collar and its nap was like
satin far too good a coat for that
impoverished rogaie of a Philippe
so with foul intent I wrought
the ruin of the coat.
"The sprinkling on of salt for
snow in one of the scenes of the
play took the color out and the
glare of the electric lights gave it
a sort of sunburn and now it is
a Joseph's coat of many colors.
"It Is a coat that is well cared
for in other ways. My valet looks
It over carefully the slightest
rent or hole is carefully mentted.
I cannot fancy playing Philippe in
any ''other coat than this one.
"The beaver hat Is . another
story it "is purposely , made ""to
look old of some shoddy stuff
that rubs up quickly. It is the
sort of hat that Philippe . "would
wear I am sure.
"And In keeping with Philippe's
character is the flaring red hand
kerchief which I wear through
out the play. He would have
worn red and I have not neglect"
ed to wear the red button of the
legion of . honor . In my shabby
coat ror rnmppe tnougn a
rogue- was. after all. a brave
man." . : ".. . j
Mr. Skinner spoke of Jessie

ner. "and creates sympathy where
perhaps a harder Flora would not
have it. The audience feels that
Flora is getting the. worst of it
as indeed she is,"
Mr. Skinner on being asked, his
favorite role replied that it is
"Philippe in "The Honor of, the
Family.' Because," said Mr. Skin
ner, "it is the role I am playing
now. One is always "enthusiastic
about what 'one is doing -not what
one has done."
The role of the bull fighter inl
"Blood and Sand" was spectacular
aid gave opportunities for splen
did acting. "But," said Mr. Skin
ner, "it was gruesome. Too many
people fainted in the scene where
I. as the bull fighter tested my
broken leg There was nothing
gory about the leg n perfectly
good bare leg: but when after a
struggle I finally stood upon it
one or more would faint in the
audience and strangely enough
the fainters were men. I died
hard and bloodily in the. last act
but no one cared a bit. It was
the strain of getting u.pf on that leg
that got them."
"Sympathy?" Mr. Skinner' was
asked.
"Stomachs," replied Mr. Skin
ner, laconically'. "They'd probably
eaten a big dinner and it got
them. Besides one probably has
had a broken leg but one has
not died!"
Mr. Skinner followed George
Cohan's advice. "Always leave
them laughing when you say good
bye." He closed the interview
with a smile. And there is one
newspaper reporter for whom Mr.
Skinner has no terrors.
Mr. Skinner is without doubt
the king of interviewees.

Potter from the play "La Babouil
leuse." ,
Otis Skinner, as debonair, as
intriguing: a9 ever, swaggered
through the part of Philippe. A
splendid performance- from, his
first entrance to the very" close of
the last act. when he waved a
mocking farewell to the broken
Flora, and promised to meet her
in Paris.
The genius of Balzac and Mr.
Skinner combine to make of
Philippe a most appealing rogue-.
And how wonderfully does Mr.
Skinner dress the part. The swing
of his coat the angle at which he
wears his beaver, the ebony stick
which he swings so impudently
and the plebian red handkerchief
he flourishes with an air all are
an important part of Mr. Skinner's
role of the rogue from Paris who
out-rougued the provincial rogues.
The entire cast of "The Honor
of the Family is excellent and the;
stage setting correct in every de
tail. One saw the living rodm of a
prosperous provincial's home in
1824 a bachelor's establishment
the home of old Jean-Jacques
Rouget. A home presided over
by the scheming Flora Brazier-and
visited by Rouget's male cronies.
How the handsome Max Gllet
and Philippe Bridau dueled with
their wits and with their swords
for old Rouget's money is the
motif of the play.
The play opens with the arrival
of Philippe's mother and his
brother, Madame and Joseph Bri

Roquet's bachelor" establishment
