IF AM BRING THE Matinee 10ct 15c - to COMING -- I - . vw - C01C C011T0E Fanchon and Marco Will Present Unique Idea Sun day and Monday It is reasonable to assume as some lawyers love to put it that you have heard of "The Two Black Crows." Well, you're fooled. This yarn has nothing to do with them; In fact it goes back some dozen years when "The Two Comic Blackbirds" began drawing guffaws from those who listened to their line of ban ter. This is a poor news story. Any professor who heads the depart ment of journalism in any given school will tell you whether you ask him or not that all of the "meat" of the story should be told in the first paragraph. Nevertheless. though you re somewhat delayed, let It here be known that Fanchon and Marco are featuring, among other acts, "The Two Comic Comedians" when their bill is offered to the hund reds who patronize the Elsinore Sunday and Monday. The two nationally-known com edians have come from Broadway to visit, for the first time, the Pacific coast. Critics In all the larger cities have praised them as comedians of the higher order. Right here and now it might be well to name the headliners: one of them answers when mu soy, "How do you do? Mr. Moss," and the other, just as funny, gives his name as Frye. To V. E. Mclntyre, manager of the Elsinore, Mr. Moss took time off to address a commique. In part he explained that, "most people believe that to get mater ial for a comedy act, you search the comic publications. But the kind of humor which is found in monthly or weekly publications is not the kind that lasts. "Jokes that are good one week are stale the very next." Therefore, it is obvious to every one that Messrs. Moss and Frye get their respective black faces and heads together frequently that their act shall not fail to please. Among the others to be featured at the Elsinore this week end are Fink and Ayres, roller skating team, and Leo Lee, "the vagabond tenor, to say nothing of the other features. COMEDIANS MEET F "No, they ain't," said one Salem man. "But they are!" declared an other. "They wouldn't 'play' the coast said the first. ' "Nevertheless, they're goin" to this week-end and the Elsinore management promises to back up its statement." They are. The two Original Comic Black birds, whose act had its inception 12 years ago, are coming this week end under an Elsinore banner to take laughs away from Salem. They are booked under Fanchon and Marco and will be headliners of headliners. It might surprise the average patron to learn that they are at present seeking $50,000 from a film company which proposes. It is alleged, to "shoot" a photoplay titled under one of the Black Chickens' oldest gags. "How Far Is Up?" They also ask that an in junction preventing the showing of the film be granted. Moss and Frey are the two sad ly serious comedians Involved In the suit. Known from coast to coast, they never have yet played the Pacific circuit. WITH GREAT Og .TrmsiHrir FAMILY 50c Eveiiing 10c, 25c a ?-.- 1 a mm m is Everywhere, critics havw ap praised their work as a little mors than excellent. Although Moss and Frye head the bill, the other acts are. critics declare, uncommonly excellent. George B. Outhrie, owner of the Elsinore. has repeatedly said he was gratified that he might show such a bill. And those who know Mr. Gut I rie realize that he seldom If ever says anything he doesn't mean. It was announced quietly last night that there would be another feature which would be "some thing to write home about." CAST.
