It is what 1 known as a problem nlv n which the audience' is permitted to form IM own estimate as to whether er not the preacher, was "The T-pl" for his stand in preaching th religion that he had under taken as a life work.

Added to these essential con comitants is the vivacious and sparkling personality of Marie Prevost, the stir, and the result is a hurricant of .laughs, chortles nd chuckles, j A In -thejedurse of human events i when a girl, loses her garter, some- jming exciting is nouna 10 nap- pen. When that garter displays the photograph of her exfiance, who is hot on the trail of the in criminating bauble and her pres ent fiance is possessed of an obiqu ltous eye and a jealous disposition the pot of trouble is bound to boil and bubble J and so it does in "Getting (iertie's Garter." , It boils up to i hectic heat, steaming up a merry melange of situations that wouldmake a hypochondriac laugh. "Gertie" is one or Marie Pre vost's best roles. And Charles Ray gives her splendid support as the fiance who is trying to recover the garter. "I Whether you wear garters or don't, you'll get a lot of laughs out "Getting Gertie's Garter." The comedy was capably directed by E. Mason Hopper and in the supporting cast are such capable artists as Harry Myers, Sally Rand, William Orlamond and others. Capitol Theater "Down the Stretch," King Bag got's Universal-Jewel production showing at the Capitol today and Monday, depicts life behind the scenes at one of America's largest race tracks and is one of the most entertaining pictures, of the year. "Down the Stretch" is a Story of a jockey,exceilently portrayed by Robert Agnew, who in the face of almost impossible odds, wins the hand of the girl.be loves, Marian Nixon, and extricates himself from a maza of befuddled circum stances. There are no melodra matic situations, nor mortgages to be paid off, but the entire picture is chuck full of real human inter est and heart throbs. King Baggot has gone to great length to get realism in this pic ture; instead of the usual studio horse race, the entire cast went on location at the Belmont race track and some- of the fastest h race horses in the country were bor rowed from their owners and trainers Tor the shots. Iady In Black, the mare ridden by Agnew, is one of the best two-year-olds in the country t ihi In addition fo tno picture at Capitol theater there will be sev eral acts of splendid vaudeville Jay Bogert and : Betty Mitchell present something pleasing and different, which is sure to provide entertainment.

Special scenic equipment add much to the beauty of the offering. Rose and Dell are two versatile entertainers offering a comedy skit culled "Relics" embracing songs, acrobatic dancing and bi cycle. They have an unusually clever line of patter. Oregon Theater Madge Bellamy is the audacious heroine of Warner Fabian's can did novel. "Summer Bachelors," in. the screen version produced by Allan Dwan for Fox Films, which starts at the Oregon today. Fol lowing Miss Bellamy's brilliant portrayal of the flapper bride in "Sandy," another vivid character ization is to be expected. Derry Thomas, Miss eBIlamys role in "Summer Bachelors," is a pretty girl of good family who owns her own living. Disillusion ed about marriage, she determines never to wed. Despite her dare devil air, she is instinctively pru dent. Derry is a companion fig ure to Pat in Fabian's "Flaming Youth," but more rebellious, clearer in self-vision, less the crea ture of convention and accidental adventure. Derry is drawn into a, gay set cf prosperous men who have been deserted by their wives for the summer. Parties follow in New York night clubs, fashionable roadhouaes and at country estates within motoring distance of the city. . Here is rich material for the art of the camera. With the advantage of an enthralling story. Director Dwan chose an excellent cast. Allan Forrest, who is starring in the Helen and Warren two-reel comeddies for Fox, has the lead ing part opposite Miss Bellamy, Malt Moore, fresh from his suc cess in "Early to Wed," is the absent-mindeo: professor. Leila Hyams and Clifford Holland, a decidedly attractive couple, are in the secondary leads. Riddle and Prine Building Monmouth Service Station OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL, Monmouth, Ore., July 2. (Spe cial) Ernest Riddle and G. N. Prine of Monmouth are erecting a service station on the Pacific Westside highway on Knox street, just one block south of the First National bank building. Their location is an ideal one on a flat iron shaped pie.ee of property. Albert Nelson, proprietor of the Jeff service station, has purchased sufficient ground in the rear of hi3 building to build super-service cleaning and oiling racks and will install a repair shop for light work.

Glass Broken In Crash The aviators and their friends were pulled, pushed and hauled about and only with the greatest difficulty could they make their way to the waiting motor cars. In the crush, much glass was broken and a piece of it got into the eye of Mrs. Richard D. White,. wife of the American naval attache. , The fliers became seperated on the way out of the station but were brought together again through a lucky meeting with Charles A. Levine who crossed the Atlantic in the Columbia with Clarence D. Chamberlin. When they reached the open air, they heard the roar of the thousands piessed into the small space be tween the Rue St. Lazarre, and the station. The motor cars made their way painfully through the throng and finally arrived at the holet, where the aviators took p their quarters in the apartment of Rodman Wanamaker, the backer of the expedition. At the hotel, they found another throng, some what smaller, but equally demon strative. All along the route from the station, the heroes of the third American airplane crossing of the Atlantic, received an ovation. It took the form of a shower of flowers in the Rue d'Amsterdam, while thousands sent up cries: "Long live Byrd! Long live Am erica!" Perhaps the most embarrasing moment for Commander Byrd, was when a gorgeously attired woman elbowed her way to him, much .to the injury of her expen sive costume, and handed him a magnificent bunch of roses. The commander hesitated as if afraid he could not make the lady un derstand what he would like to say, whereupon she remarked in excellent English: "Never mind, I know what you think."

Chamberlin and Levine before them. ' Ilet Is Pica "Let the poor men get some rest." was a frequent piece of ad vice from those who noted that Byrd was pale, that Noville limped slightly, and that Acosta winced when his shoulder came into con tact with any. one or anything. Balchen was the only member of the crew who seemed to have suf fered scarcely1 at all from their terrible experience, and he was the youngest member of the party. Balchen was a flying officer in the Norwegian army, but he has taken out his first papers for na turalization as a citizen of the United States! " have seen a lot more of the United States than many Ameri cans have," the young Viking re marked laughingly, "and I feel I am entitled to become an Ameri- : can qltizen. l nave riown more i than 16500 miles in5 a tour of the I I'niteld States, within a year, and I j have i also flown 8000 miles in Canada. I carried supplies there to a station in Hudson's Bay country." It was Balchen wJio was steer ing the America when Commander Byrd gave the order to descend and the young pilot shot the air ship into the dark waters at Ver-Sur-Mer. "It must have been an awful experience when you nosed the America down into uncertainty," , The Associated Press correspond ' ent remarked to Balchen. The young aviator, who is a boy of few words, replied: j "That was nothing." I He is delighted with his selec 1 tion as a member of Byrd's pro posed South Pole flight. He was engaged in preparations for Cap tain Amundsen's flight and went to the United States in order to gain greater opportunity to en gage in daring aerial explorations.

" The Geneva . conference, It was reiterated, was intended to cover the period expiring in 1936, with the Washington treaty, and it was added that if the British plan were adopted, the ships needed to build up to the total, could not be completed before the year. With the prospect of further discussing the question in 1931, the- state department believed it would be. better to accept the American fig ure now, and raise it later, if de sired. ' With the cruiser problem out of the way it was expected that the Geneva parley' would encounter smooth sailing1 In reaching agree ment on submarines and destroy ers.
