In addition to the vaudeville, "What Price Glory" will be shown at the Capitol. Oregon Theater Widely read as Leo Tolstoy's classic novel, "Resurrection," has been in the past thirty years, Ed win Carewe, director and co-pro ducer with Inspiration Pictures of the picturization which opened at the Oregon theater last Thursday, discovered innumberable film fans in rural districts and even in big ger cities of America who believed any film or novel entitled "Resur rection" must be a tale of the Christ.- Carewe wrote more than three thousand letters in reply to filmgoers who Queried him while rreinrr he was directing Rod La Rocque and Dolores del, Rio in the film, made in California. To each he explained that "Resurrection" is not a religious story, not a biblical tale and that Leo Tolstoy's flesh-and-blood drama makes splendid reading In any language. f Carewe said that Resirrree tion" Is simply a very- human study of bared souls under the lash' of selfish passions, and of great sacrifice to which a higher, cleaner love of man for woman and woman for man lifted prince and peasant. He told his unen lightened correspondents that the title "Resurrection" referred to the spiritual and moral rebirth of the souls of Prince Dmitri and Katusha Maslova, deadened In sin. The American" director declared that he had faithfully preserved the spirit and letter of Tolstoy's great novel and that the ending of the picture is the logical end ing of the novel, with the moral to be found in the story Itself. Rod La Rocque plays the role of Frince Dmitri and Dolores del Rio U Katusha Maslova, the peasant girl, who is the victim of profaned love. La Rocque's work in "The Ten Commandments" and "Gig olo," remained in. Carewe's mind until the hour when he needed an actor of sufficient power and fine ness to play Dmitri. Miss del Rio is under personal contract-to Carewe, who discovered her in Mexico City in 1925, so that , he did not have far -to seek for his Katusha. Miss del Rio's last character was that of Charmaine in the screen version of "What Price Glory." Hollywood Theater The reason Gene Stratton-Por1 ter is the rankingnovelist of the day in point of book sales and pop ularity with the public is produced conclusively by the F. B. O. pro duction. "The Keeper of the Bees," which may be seen at the Hollywood Theater today and to morrow before it yields the screen to another picture. Directed by the late Mrs. Porter's son-in-law, J. Leo Meehan, and with .the famous novelist's grand-daughter, Gene Stratton Monroe, taking one of the most important roles in the cast it might be said to be a thoroughly porteresque produc tion; and it proves a corking pic ture! The warmth, lefpntlment, and wholesome philosophy of the novel all imbue the picture with an aura which cannot but make it one of the most successful movies of the year. It outclasses even "The Girl of the Limberlost," the work of the same author and di rector, and it is certainly des tined to add many fans to the mil lions who already know and love the books of this great writer. It Is estimated that Mrs. Port er'j fans those who read her books and go to see the pictures made from those books outnum ber .the public of any other novel- Hollywood Theatre Today and Tomorrow The Most Thrilling Dramatic Novel Gene Stratton Porter " Ever Wrote WITH CLARA BOW BIG ADDED ATTRACTION Monday DE1PSEY TUWMY Fight Pictures ' ' v " v; No Raise in Prices : BEE DEMPSEY AND rTUNNEY IN .

Grand Theater Providing more capital enter tainment in every foot of film in its entire length than any picture it has been our pleasure to view in a long, long time, "The Be loved Rogue," John Barrymore's first United 'Artists Picture op ened today at the Grand theater. "The Beloved Rogue" is a not able contribution to the screen for numerous reasons. The first TO THE PUBLIC Referring to the statement appearing in the Salem even ing paper Friday regarding the differences between the management of the Elsinore and Oregon theatres and the International Alliance of The atrical Stage Employes and Motion Picture Machine Ope rators local No. 613, the gen eral public is unquestionably entitled to know the facts. Stripped of all the surround ing non-essen-tlal details, in jected into the controversy by the management referred to. for the sole purpose of befogg ing the issue and misleading the public, the simple and gov erning facts are as follows: In the first place a contract was entered into by both par ties with their eyes open. In this contract appears a para graph, which in effect is an Hcceptauce of a provision in the constitution and by-laws of the aforesaid I. A. T. S. B. & M. P. O. vii: No person shall be allowed to handle or direct the plac ing of scenery, properties, elec trical effects or projecting ap paratus where such action will displace a member of this al liance. Now, the management of the theatres referred to, being as tute busineu men, were thor oughly aware of this when they signed said contracts, and whatever their reasons now may be for determining to Ignore vhe same, it is most cer tainly not actuated by a de sire to play a 'fair game" or give a "square deal." One proof of this is the palpably false statement broadcasted that the "executive; board" re ferred to is composed only of employes in a rival theatre, this creating, or seeking to create, the Impression that the whole controversy is being engineered by a business com petitor. Such tactics are sly. highly discreditable and merit the nevere condemnation , ? all honorable business men. Paid Advertisement by I A T S. K George L. Snook, Secretary.

Francois Villon, scapegrace rhy mester of Paris in the fifteenth century, at. times scaling to the utmost heights and again sliding down to taste l of life's bitterest which Barrymore attains this highlight in his screen career, light in his screen career. Next of Importance. . The Be loved Rogue" reveals Conrad Veidt, sterling character actor of Germany, in the role of Louis XI arrogant and tyrannical monarch of Villon's time. Deidt is great. His Louis XI is an exceptionally clever performance. Veldt's excel lent portrayal of the king makes Barrymore's presentation of the role that much greater. Barry- Fall ! Specials in Bedding at Lower Prices" in ore's Francois Villon Is a much more lovable, chaining and in triguing character than would have been possible If he had been without such strong support for contrast. , Next of interest, among , the many features of "The Beloved Rogue, is the appearance f Mar cfellne Day as Charlotte de Vaux ctlles, ward of the king, whose strange romance with -Francois Villon is productive of many of the most beautiful phases of the picture. . President COolidge Is now a full-fledged honorary Sioux Indi an but we doubt whether the war whoop will appeal to him ver much. v U. OF 0.
