OREGON. &UNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1928 ( 4-, V . a OF HLD SEffl Bi EYES OF IE Pull of Humor, Romance, viu Poetry; No hace As Beautiful As Erin "Wiawt Grand Words Ye Have, Tim" j Ask thp averaee man what is suggested to him by a bit of green bunting and he will immediately answer, "the Irish." If ever a dis tinct color wa associated with any race of people that color Is green. Just when the Irish began to love green no one knows. The affection for the color began, bo It is said, when the first elf open ed his eyes in Erin long before Brian Boru came into being. What the elf saw delighted him. There were grassy tufts of the moat bril liant emerald hue on the grounds and the hills were covered with a verdure that delighted him. Whether in the lowlands with their mosses, or on the hills with their tall grasses, in the dingles, or on the seashore, there was to be seen the loveliest green that ever smiled up at elf; And when this fell was changed; into a man. the love of green and of the land in which it grew, was firmly lm planted In him. Nothing has ever been able to dim its lustre in his mind. There might be greens in other lande very likely there were but to him there never was a green so beautiful as the one which gave the land of his birth the name of the Knjerald Isle It is also said of this first Irish man that on traversing a field he came upon a shimmering thing amid the grasses. Plucking it from its resting place he pressed it to his lips and it was thus that the Shamrock became the emblem -'of a country that has been the home of roman -e and sentiment ever since. Instinctively t his Irish man loved the little Shamrock nd the love has remained with him , throughout the ages. Won derful, indeed, and deeprooted, is this love of green In the heart of every Irishman; and if you would know why, all you have to do Is ask him. He will smile at your lack of knowledge. He will seem to be bewildered by it. Is it possi ble that you are not aware that green is tne color 01 innocense auu youth? Have you been blind to the fact that God's dressing of the fields and the meadows is green? And didn't you" ever take notice -t1rat the beautifying of the oldest living thing the world knows the tree Is green? Wurra, wur ra, but the Ignorance of you! With all their traits this love of the green stands out strongly in the Irish, together with a sense of loyalty to their native land. They never lose this loyalty. You may transplant an Irishman to any place on earth, and no matter how glorius his new environment may be, you can never get him to admit that It Is to be compared in point of beauty with the land that gave him birth. In view of all this it does seem strange that the Irishman doesn't remain at home. Someone has said that the Celt prospers everywhere but In his native land, and It does i --?z.z -i s "TIKE i CHANCE" SURPRISING Beautiful Girls To Attract At Fanchon and Marco Show At Elsinore Absorbing Tale Dramatically Told printing It, In a series of scenes Gilbert enough to pass convinc- actor at the age o( Jy (MctAvoy 6t.rrinS in 'r'sA Hearts" eem as if this were so. Of course this can all be explained away. Trust an Irishman to explain ev erything away. He will tell you of hardships, privations, bad land lords and crops that were failures. Surely be has lived in a land of trouble. This recalls an old story. A wealthy tourist was appreciat ing the beauties of the Lakes of Killarney. Turning to the local guide he exclaimed: "God must love the Irish!" Pat, remembering the failure of the potato crop the year before. mlled a ulsxical smile and scratch '.ng his chin replied: "Begorra, He has a quare way of showing it at times." Now. there was nothing of com plaint in this. The man was mere ty exercising his sense of humor, which was Inherent. And In giv-. ing to th Irish this sense of hum or and the savins grace la a God-given gift the Lord certain ly conferred a great blessing on :he race. Of all the traits possessed by the inhabitants or Erin's Isle, the me that has endeared them to the world at large Is th's sense of humor. It has never deserted them. In times of great stress and trouble, when food was scarce and poverty roamed the land, the poor man in the cabin in the bog lands could always find something to bring a smile to his face. For their ready wit and repartee they have been famous and it is known that many a happening that might have become tragic has been blown Into the air by the exercise of a little vrnA humor and a sense of the ridiculous. If one overlooks any of the good traits of the Irish It Is be cause there are so many of them. Loyalty Is a trait, the love or ro mance and sentiment Is another and the strength with which they Minr in a nrinclDle along with their unvarying good nature are also to be taken Into account. All this brings to mind the fact that among the announcements of new films the other day was one that Warner Brothers . had pro duced a motion picture called "True Irish Hearts." One can im agine the Irishman reading this title and smiling as he exclaims: "Arn't all Irish hearts true?" Of course, thev are all that were really worthy of claiming to be Irihs. It is easily to be figured, however, that the average Irish man and that tremendous numberl music Some time ago the pfogram for Take a Chance week at the Elsinore was discussed and it was determined that in view of the fact that the public would be asked to "take the chance" of coming into the theater without knowing in advance wnat it would see, that in return Fanchon & Marco, producers of stage revues. should put on what in their opin ion would be the very best pro duction from every angle. Fanchon & Marco have kept their promise. By all odds the stage revue that Is coming to the Elsinore today and tomorrow is the best this noted pair ever have evolved. It has novelty. It has It has dancing. It has who appreciate the good qualities of the race will enthuse over this picture. No one would be interest ed or In sympathy with hearts that were not true and the honest hearts that are treated of In the picture are sure to touch a respon sive chord in those who witness it. "Irish Hearts" deals with youth and love, and everyone knows that the course of true love never ran smoothly any more than that Ire land ever would become rid of fair ies. In fact. Patsy, the heroine of the story, is a good bit of a fairy in modern dress, and as May Mc Avoy presents here many a man will be quite heady to take her off Tim's hands should that a very big group of beautiful girls and it has stars who will surprise you by their Importance. We wish we could tell you who they are, and what the act is about. But remember It is Take a Chance Week We can tell you though, that It's all fixed so's you can't lose.
