Claudette Colbert, well known stage star recruited to pictures for the first time by Robert Kane, who produced "For the Love of Mike," is seen as the boy's childhood sweetheart and Mabel Swor enacts the role of the Fifth avenue blonde who tries to make him forget his old pals and join her ritzy set.

(Special) Aldred ' Martin, correspondent for a Salem newspaper, is spend in? the week at Netarts. He Is mont Schoedsack packed up his motion picture camera and won dered what he was going to do for excitement. He bad been photographing bursting shells, midnight raids, trench life and airplane attacks; had attained the rank of captain, and couldn't enthuse about the prospect of re turning to studio life in Holly wood. So he enlisted In the American Red Cross and went to Poland to help make Poland unsafe for visiting Bolshevik!. He photo graphed the famous retreat of the Polish army, and became a pal of Merian C. Cooper, Ameri can aviator. After the Polish disturbance calmed down he went to . the Graeco-Turklsh front in Syria and made news reel pictures of , the burning of Smyrna during the Greek retreat. In the mean time, Cooper had shipped on a small schooner that was touring the world on a scien tific expedition. At Singapore the cameraman quit and Cooper cabled to Schoedsack. During a storm in the Red Sea the schooner went aground at Mocha, eighty miles north of Aden and the expedition came to an end. For the next seven months Cooper and Schoedsack dickered with Turkish officials for permis sion to photograph the migra tions of the Kurds over the moun tain ranges running south from the Black Sea to Mesopotamia. Schoedsack then made arrange ments for another trip into far-off places and shipped with the Wil liam Beebe expedition on the Ar cturus. On July 7, 1925, he and Cooper left New York for Bangkok, Siam, where they made "Chang" uni versally acknowledged one of the year's best pictures. Paramount is presenting it at the Oregon starting tomorrow. Schoedsack Is now thirty-three years old. He began his career as a cameraman in Hollywood. SPECIAL IMEE TO BE AT Coupon and Five Cents Ad mits Children to Show ing of "Charg" The Statesman has arranged with the management of the Oregon theater for a special mati ne for children tomorrow at noon. On the front page of this morn ing's issue, there is a coupon printed, which If clipped and pre sented at the box office, together with 5c, admittance can be ob tained to witness one of the great est pictures of all time. It Is Paramount's mighty melodrama, entitled "Chang." "Chang" a motion picture re- J vealing the nazaraous me oi me jungle has been brought back to America by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, who spent 22 months in the remote interior of Siam making the production. Heralded by ' Paramount in such extravagant superlatives as "one of the greatest pictures of all time" "Chang" is utterly different from any , photoplay ever made, in that although fer ocious animals of the jungle timers, leopards, elephants, great snakes and chattering monkeys are the principal actors the pic ture contains a basic plot, skil fully embroidered with the con ventional dramatic forms of sym pathy, struggle, menace, tragedy, pathos and exceptional comedy, furnished by a white gibbon named Bimbo. "Chang" will be presented at the Oregon tomorrow under the auspicies of Paramount, which or ganization financed Cooper and Schoedsack in their extraordinary effort. - The theme of "Chang" is most elemental the conflict of . man against his implacable toe, the jungle, and the hostile beasts sheltered by its abundant foliage. la making "Chang" Cooper and Schoedsack constantly faced death, not only from tigers, elephants, leopards and snakes, but from cholera which took the Uvea of seven native members of their ex pedition. Schoedsack- himself was stricken with a severe attack of malaria which delayed work on the film. As the protagonists of man in his eternal fight to wrest a living from the wild, the producer chose an heroic Siamese family a man, bis wife, their tvo children, household pets and Bimbo, the monkey. There Is a big time in store for all children in Salem, and the Statesman's hope is that every kiddie in town will take advant age to this treat to attend the matinee tomorrow, t r SANDERS ON VACATION STAYTON, Aug. 23.

ILL PRAISES PACIFIC INSTITUTE Every Precaution Taken to Prevent Misunderstand ings Among Nations UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, Aug. 23. (Special.) The Institute of Pacific Relations, which is composed of men selected from all the countries bordering on the Pacific ocean. Is doing a work of world-wide importance, it Is declared by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University of Oregon, who attended the ses sion held in Honolulu. Hawaii, a few weeks ago. Dr. Hall special ized in social science research work at the Institute, in addition to taking an active part In the various discusson groups. "The problems of the Pacific may seem to be mostly in the fu ture, but such is not tfce case," de clares Dr. Hall. "Japan illus trates the fact that over popula tion is one of the most uerious sit uations to be faced, and if people work to solve Japan's pressing problem, it will aid in solutions when such countries as the United States and Australia begin tp feel the burden of too many inhab itants for the land. Thus it is seen that the future can be definitely linked up with the present. "The Institute, which is com posed of experts in international, ir.ter-racial, social and educational problems, aims to bring before. the people the importance of the prob lems of this vast area, rather than to attempt any definite solutions. Problems such as international re lations, world markets, overpopu lation, religious work and others are brought before this group and are thoroughly discussed. The In stitute makes no recommenda tions, but it offers its findings to the proper officials who can use them as a basis for negotiations that eventually result in better feeling and mutual cooperation be tween nations." Dr. Hall was so impressed with the work that the Institute is do ing, and with the ability of the members, that he is already hop ing to induce the organization to hold a session in Eugene some time in the future. The group meets for two weeks every two years, and has selected some place in either Japan or China for the next session. ' The exact city will be named later, it was said. The meeting four years from1 now may" be held on the Pacific coast, and there are only two plac es that will bid for it, it is be lieved. These are Eugene and the University of Oregon, and Stanford University. Stanford would have a very good chance, since Dr.; Ray Lyman Wilbur, its president, is also head of the Institute, but it is believed that the northwest would have more of interest to of fer the members, since it is in this region that great developments in connection with the Orient are ex pected. The University of. Oregon build ings could be utilized by the mem bers and it is pointed out that here they would have excellent library facilities also, in addition to other conveniences. "The Institute has more than 150 members who attended the Honolulu session, and it is prob able that the number will be great ly increased within the next few years. In the group are leaders In many lines of thought as well as experts in technical divisions. Probably no other group in the world is more representative of the countries from which they come, points out Dr. Hall and so it would be a great asset to the state and the northwest to have See a $125,000 Fight for 50c Come Along OFFICIAL u Fight Pictures taken from the ringside showing the disputed knockout blow in v "slow motion." - i In addition to the fight pictures we will show . " - cJRe SetisaljjonaL khem become familiar with this section of the United States. The Pacific northwest, Itself rich In potentialities, is the near est point in the Unted States to the Orient, and it will become a great shpping center when condi tions in the Far East are more settled. It is believed. Members of the Institute are already show ing a great deal of interest in this section, and asked many questions of those attending from this re gion, It Is stated. - Countries represented In the In stitute include the United States, Great Britain. China, Japan, Aus tralia. New Zealand, Korea, the Philippines, Samoa, and the .terri tory of Hawaii. Problems (of all these regions were thoroughly discussed with special emphasis being placed on China and Its pres ent relations with other countries. "One of the most significant facts that was stressed by Dr. Wil bur at the Institute was that the growing power of the United States in the Pacific may become one of the region's most serious problems," says Dr. Hall. "Be cause we are a nation of great re sources, enjoying prosperity, we are likely to become self-centered, self-assured, and Inclined to give scant consideration to problems of other people. This we cannot af ford to do, because the problems of other people affect us, and if other countries, especially the Far East, fall Into unfortunate condi tions, we shall suffer. We must take an attitude of sympathy and understanding, and must be will ing to cooperate with the world in every way. "It is highly Important at this time that the people of the United States give thought to the prob lems of the Pacific,' with the view to furthering relations for peace in this region," concluded Dr. Hall. "War In the Pacific, where so many hundreds of millions of people live, would be the worst disaster in history, and every pre caution should be- taken to avoid the possibility of misunderstand ings that might lead to this. Such Institutions as the Institute of Pa cific Relations take up these prob lems and paesent them in clearer form. This group should be en couraged in every way, and if it could be brought to Eugene some time, I am sure that we would all greatly benefit." HAVE ENJOYABLE TRIP FRUITLAND, Aug. 23. (Spec ial.)

" Aside from colors, one noticed in the street dresses, afternoon and evening gowns, and fall coats displayed by models, fron Wil son's fashion, shop, that "waist lines are again In vogue slight, it is true, but nevertheless waist lines. These are effected with belts, rather low, and loose, though the general impression is one of straight lines. One of the first things Milady's seamstress must learn, in yester year, was to fastitonf a gown with an even hem. It Is not so .now, although perhaps even more care must be taken now to obtain an attractive uneven hem. Semi-sash and drapes effects will be noted on many gowns, and even among the various coat styles. Colors In coats Include many shades of brown, usually with a darker shade in fur collars and cuffs. Fur on the collars is used lavishly, and most coats follow a one-button style, fastening on the side. Fur is used with all colors, dark blue, black, and gray, and the fur varies from ermine and black, against the solid black, to silver gray against dark blue, and against light gray. In some in stances uneven dress hems show slightly below the coat. In evening gowns, silver trim riin predominates, being used with many combinations of blue, sal mon pink, pink, green, black, and other interesting ' shades. Silver an well as silk fringe effects, some even extending: from the waist line, are especially striking. Hats in delightful combinations of browns, tans, blacks, greens, and just a touch of yellow with the brown and green, with rhine stone decorations, were displayed by Milady's Hat shop (formerly Mrs. Stith's). Quarter veils ad ded distinction to some of the models. Rhinestones were also used in various combinations on many of the afternoon and even ing gowns, and for the buckle ef fect with some etreet dresses. a Shoes, including patent leathers, satin pumps for afternoon and evening, and some for street wear, matched the coats and hats. The shoes were from Price's shoe store. Elaborate stage settings, show ing a tastefully furnished draw ing room, were arranged by H. L Stiff Furniture company.

Martin, Miss Vivian Nelson, Miss Davis, Miss Virginia Billings, Mrs. Davis Morphew, Mrs. Grace Stiff ler, iMss Lucille Anderson and Miss Faye Woltz.
