THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON", WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 14, 1923 1 DH V'TELLS STORYOFKEWYORK Famous Critics Offer Praise; Play Will Show At Elsin ore One Night Tonight at Elsinore Theater This story has to do with the play called "Broadway" which will be witnessed tonight only at the Elsinore. Thousands of road shows are written every month; the great majority are never produced; a few "limp" along on the best known street In the United SUtes; a few. are reasonably successful and then someone turns out a . drama like "Broadway" that sgrips the world. 'Producers agree that, frequent ly, they can not tell when a play is going to "take." Brilliant men hare read it and, if they decide to produce it. hare witnessed its re hearsals. Yet, they say. they are unable to know whether public and critics are going to acclaim it, or whether it will reach a certain celebrated storehouse where lie dead plays. And so it was with some nerv ousness that even the producer watched the crowd when "Broad way" opened at the Broadhurst theater September 16. The following night more than 2,000 persons were turned away from the box-office. Practically every seat has been sold out since with the "standing room only" sign receiving a lot of wear and tear. "Broadway" has been showing so far 35 weeks in London. Alexander Woolcott has seen it and has done what he scarcely is every known to do become en thusiastic about it. Hey wood -Jroun, who has spent considerable time during the last five years jiling how unskillfully done was "Abie's Irish Rose," gave his un stinted praise 'to "Broadway" as i-oon as he could reach his type writer at the New York MorniDg World. "Broadway" tells a tale of 'ew York's night life and it tells of .is cabarets in an honest manner The management of the Els In jro has expressed regret that the j.ay can be shown here only to aight because this particular .oad-show is a self-advertiser. "HIE LATEST FROM S Ml SHOW Norma Shearer Stars In Lat est Vehicle; At Elsinore March 15, 16, 17 Perhaps it's scarcely necessary to elaborate to any extent concern ing what the Elsinore is offering March IS. 16, and 17. Because "that something" is nothing less than Miss Norma Shearer. Furthermore she's being starred in her latest vehicle, "The latest from Paris." But there are Salem theater goers who wish to know whatever they may concerning Miss Shearer, for she has proved popular here. "Try to find." wrote on critic, "any role within reason that Norma Shearer can't play on the screen! " And on top of that another declares that no other picture "ever' gave her the dramatic op portunities offered by 'The Latest from Paris.' " Isn't that a rather convincing argument that the picture in which shewas most rjeceotly '-ned, is a "Broadway" - l it 4 iff "-- hi v- f . (fe" . 'P mmriv , I ii i in nwy1 nanii n mi m riniinii.
