"TEiOSE" 11 WITH GREAT CAST Broadway's Most Famous Drama of Underworld At Elsinore .Theater A young boy. just at college age. stands with a smoking gun in his hands. His victim is a huddled. shapeless heap on the other side of the room This is the dramatic punch that opens "The Noose," First Nation al's picturization of Willard Mack's sensational stage play which comes to the Elsinore theater today for a two day snowing. From this tense, startling open ing, the story moves swiftly NEXT WED. Sarg9s s the Forty Thieves Today Mon. Tues. Q X PICTURE in - Amry Isle" ttc az; Ai .A mi; through a series of dramatic inci dents to the finish. "The Noose is one of the most powerful stor-j ies ever written. It deals with life in the raw. with the underworld and its gunmen and gangmen, with justice and with politics, with sym pathy and compassion. Richard Barthelmess in the stel lar role again demonstrates his amazing histronic talents as Xick- te Kiicins. tne boy. lie Drings to the role sympathy and understand ing. The stage play created wide spread interest because of its un usual theme. The First National picture is being even more widely discussed, for It carries the theme to heights impossible in a spoken play. The audience is taken backstage at a night club, then out into the crowds on the dance floor. Next to the death house in the peniten jtiarr. and then to the governor's mansion. Through every scene the interest -s kept enthrilled, and one drama tic climax follows another. "TEA FOR Tiff" AT "Tea for Three," which opens today at the Oregon theater is not only one of the best comedies of the season but one of the very best farces of many years. Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle, who are co-starred in the Metro- Goidwyn-Mayer production, appear to even better advantage than they did in their initial co-starring farce, "Adam and Evil." which was also directed by Robert Z. Leonard. The new picture is a screen ver sion of Roi Cooper Megrue's fa mous stage farce that not only packed them in on Broadway but gathered in a lot of money for ev erybody concerned when sent oven he country as a road show. I F. Hugh Herbert, who is credit-i 3d with the screen adaptation, has! added a lot of ideas of his own to the original story but they have served to increase the hilarity which comes as a response to the many farcial situations. What is said to be the first bat tle of ironclads was that between the Monitor and the Merrimacon March 9, 1862. in Hampton Roads Virginia, according to an answered question in Liberty Magaslne. 1 THE GEO. C. WILL MUSIC STORE ANNOUNCES THE ARRIVAL OF (CLIFF EDWARDS) One of the best known entertainers, who is playing at the Elsinore and who Will be at My Store on Monday April 2 BETWEEN 4 AND 5 O'CLOCK FREE. EVERYBODY WELCOME. Cliff Edwards is now recording for Columbia and has to date made two Columbia records, namely: J it After My Laughter Came Tears "I'm Crying And "Mary Ann Together" We invite you to hear these for you.

TVU UV vuaj a have become a medium of service to theater-goers of Salem, but you will have done" this last part most ironically "me an honor which few have been accorded." The speaker, the defense ad mits, was a man usually given to vords of one syllable. He is neither gregarious nor voluble. His name is V. E. Mclntyre, and he is manager of the Elsinore. "To continue,", said Mr. Mc lntyre, "the Elsinore is opening Tuesday with 'The Student Prince.' Let me repeat I detest words which circus press agents sleep with. I loathe, ordinarily, to hear a production described as 'gigantic,' 'stupendous,' 'marvel ous.' and other adjectives of their kind which some believe goes with every picture. ''The Elsinore does not adver tise that way. It tries to tell the truth. And, in trying to tell the truth, it finds itself in the posi tion of having' to resort to such adjectives. Without question, 'The Student Prince' while it was on the legitimate stage and, later,! since it has been filmed, is one of the most extraordinary pictures' Salemites have been able to wit ness and the prices are entirely within reason." "The Student Prince" features two of the most emineut stars of the day Ramon Novarro and Norma Shearer. Both have, very recently, proved very popular with Salem audiences. A Salem man, who really knows his London. New York. Paris, Vienna and other great cities of the world said today: "I rather imagine it is difficult to show 'The Student Prince' in the States. Traditions play such a great part among the students Roaring Picture ill i P -M-'. an t- RAMON NOVARflO atf MARCELlNE DAY in THE aOAD TO OOMAblCE" 'Cause I Know I'm Losing You two numbers and have "Ukelele Ike" la ? -N OWEN MOORE .AJLEEN PC1N0LE and of the proud families of Heidel berg that we if I may say 'we' are scarcely able to grasp them." X)Hels, he pointed out, are num erous, and, always, a man's honor is held greater than his life. A wicked-appearing scar across m. student's face is considered a mark of honor. "The Drinking Song" in "The Student Prince" has been said by manv to be at least among the greatest ever written.
