THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON. TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 14, 1928 tv,. SIDELIGHTS OF THE acre an Capitol Theater Jack Holt and Dorothy R trier met for the first time during the tusking of Columbia Pictures' pro- auction. "The Tigress." which will be shown at the Capitol theater to- day. FiTe minutes after they had been Introduced by Director George B. Seltr. Jack had Dorothy In his arms and was raining kisses upon her face. Sound like a scandal; but in reality it was simply a scene for the production which was shot im mediately after the two entered the set. When asked if it did not seem strange to be kissed so fervently by a perfect stranger. Miss Revier replied: "Certainly not. That wa perfectly impersonal kiss. It was as thoroughly business as if Mr. Holt had been selling me bonds or real estate. "Of course it looked real, but I that is because he U such a splen- I did actor. I "1 w111 admit that the very first s time I had to let a complete stran- i, aer make ardent love to me In a -,.., picture I felt queer about it w ; knew that it was impersonal with .. the actor, but a&tbe same time g.i ' there was something personal W about it for me. It was my mouth .9- that was being kissed and I was a little embarrassed about it. "But that was inexperience. trrve learned now that It was all wt ;. jart of the day's work. Screen -caresses mean nothing to the play er no matter how fervent they may - v seem in the film. Often love 1"v.Bcene3 are played between persons who are not on speaking terms and the acting never suffers. LLOYD Hil FAILS TO SET NEW YORK.

It will be shown to packed houses on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. "Under the Tonto Rim." a west ern picture done as only the au thor can do it. deals with gold. For his theme Grey has gone back to about 1880, when the cry of the precious metal roused the sleepy little cattle center of Tonto Basin, in Arizona, to riotous activ ity. There Is action plenty of It 1 as might be expected from the pen of Grey. Richard A Hen Is the lead. Hie father, luckily, finds gold near by. In town Arlen meets Mary Brian, sister of Jack Luden, who Ills the government recorder. There is no dull moment in the picture even for those who do not care for "Westerns." Furthermore there Is nothing "cheap" about the picture. The directing is excellent, probably due to the fact that Grey would not permit one of his novels to be mfed up through inferior acting and direction. Pathos, humor and properly "underdone" love figure in the film which, undoubtedly, will be 1 seen by tnousands of Salem resl- It'dents. ; PLEDGE EFFORT RETAIN HEALTH PROGRAM HERE (Continued from page 1.) it is maintaining the highest de gree of health.

AP A Question of law today eu lo Q"ve lle,P n Judge Charles M. McCabe ruled the question so vital to the whole trial that he adjourned court early asking that the defense submit a brief on the question raised. He planned to study it tonight, along with the state's reply and give his ruling tomorrow. The defense argued that Steph enson was not competent to tes tify regarding concealment of an alleged conspiracy to bring about the appointment, through brlbary, of James E. McDonald, as Marlon county prosecutor, because he was not a party to such alleged con spiracy. The state asserted Steph enson was a co-conspirator with Governor Jackson. It was a tense minute when Gov ernor Jackson and Stephenson met for the first time in several years. Since that occasion Stephenson had fallen from a high pinnacle of po- III !ervjce' MONDAY m o r MM ' T nlJE HEAVY DAMAGE 5- .IJ- litical power into a cell to which he was sentences for life for the murder of an Indianapolis girl.

SAFE CRACKING HERE IS HELD PROFESSIONAL JOB (Coutinued from page 1.) carefully removing a full length mirror from the door and laying it on the carpeted floor, removing the panel back of it. and then tak ing the door from its hinge. Just how a3 few men as there must have been in on the job man aged to move the safe down from the platform on which it was rest ing, was. a mystery to police; but the marks showed they toppled the 800. pound steel box against the wall and let It down to the floor and overturned it. Vse "Soup" Charge Next Jiey knocked the combina tion off the safe, and inserted a charge of "soup." home made ni troelvcerlne. In the place where the combination had been; bound water-soaked davenport cushions against the safe for a silencer, and set off the charge. From the loose change drawers in the safe the burglars took about $500 in small change, making un doubtedly a bulky package to car ry away. From personal drawer of Prank Bligh's they took two Elks' teeth and two watches that had been the property of the late T. O. Bllgh, and a pair of gold coin cuff links, as well as some currency. They also ransacked the box of fice, but found nothing of value. The "strong box" in the safe, containing about $2000, was taken out, but it was found Intact on the stairway from the stage down to the dressing rooms. The theory Is that this was dropped in the burglars' haste to depart when they heard the janitor. Jack Sut ton, and his wife arriving to begin their morning work.

Leonard Seppalas' team of Siberian huskies scored another triumph today when they gave their 50-year-old Alaskan driver an easy victory in the an nual three-day point to point race of the New England sled dog club. The hero of the dash to Nome with serum in a diphtheria epi demlc a few years ago covered the 130 miles in 12 hours and 42 min utes. This was one hour, 17 minutes and 48 seconds better than the time of Emil St. Oodard, youthful driver of The Pas, Manitoba, who finished second in 13: 59; 4 8.
