ENDORSE BIG FILM
"I viewed 'The Naked Truth'
with interest. I consider it one
that could be seen with good re
sults. There te nothing objection
able in the presentation of facts
which young people should know,
said Mrs. Gertrude Stevens Iea-
vitt,; prominent worker in the
cause of temperance and daughter
of the late Mrs. L. M. N. Stevena,
for many ye;s president of the
World WCTU.
"Evervbodv should see 'The
Naked Truth for ht ewondertul
lesson it teaches." added Miss
Alice A. Clough. secretary of the
State WCTU.
"The Naked Truth" is a feature
film with Helen Chad wick and
Jack Mulhall. and will be shown
for three days, starting today, at
the Elslnore theater.
It is a rather gruesome exposi
tion of the ills" that fall to those
who break the laws of purity el
ther through intent, or through
.failure of their parents to teach
them the vital consequences of de
fiance of these laws. In particu
lar is the lesson of the picture .jil
rected at the parents.
To hte reviewer's mind there
was nothing obscene in toe picture
and objections on thaf ground
were -not particularly valid. One
or two glimpses were afforded of
life at doubtful resorts, but these
were brief and not unduly sugges
tive, while the moral of the folly
of defiance of social laws was ef
fectively pointed out through the
-showing of pictures of hospital
wards where victims of social dis
eases were under treatment.
The only particular In which, to
our mind, tbe film opened itself
up to, criticism was its highly mel
odramatic character. The ques
tion naturally arising aa to wheth
er or not the exaggerated incidents
might, not lead young people to
scout tbe very lessons those inci
dents-elected to teach.
However there is certainly no
doubt of the benevolent intent and
serious purpose of the film, and it
Is capably played by a cast headed
by Mulhall and Miss Chadwlck.
Mulhall of course, appearing as
the one boy in the neighborhood.
-who through proper parental in
etructlon proved strong enough to
resist tbe onslaaghta of tempts
tlon. and wins as bis reward a
charming wife, a delightful home,
and one of the most adorable of
thildren.

LILLIAN GISH and RALPH
LILUAfJ GISH HERE
War and its horrors havo been
trafslated to tbe screen In many
forms; the surge and thnnder of
battle has been depicted lp great
spectacles; the side of the soldier
told in "The Big Parade." but to
Lillian Cish has fallen the task of
telling the side of those who, per
haps, suffer most but whose side
has never before been presented
tbe side of tbe women who face
starvation as a side issue in. the
struggles of nations.
Such is her message in "The
Enemy," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's
graphic depiction of Channing Pol
lock's famous stage dram a a
story of war away from the battle
field; a story of the hatreds, hys
teria and breaking down of hu
man, relationships that follow like
pestilence in the wake of war
propaganda.
On the stage the story was held
the drama's greatest gift -to -the
cause of peace.
As a vehicle for Miss Gish the
new picture, coming today for a
five day showing at the Elsinore
theater, is one of the most grip
ping plays the famous star has
ever appeared in.
It presents a new Lillian Gish
a Lillian Gish in a modern role, in
modern garb, and in an intensely
modern story. It tells of the after
war effects of international -hatreds
in a , powerful dramatic
theme. At times the star rises to
almost sublime heights in the
graphic portrayal of the tragic

the Silvefton flower show held
last week. He made a wonderful
display of Oregon giant pansies,
many of. them being three Inches
In diameter. They were a big sen
sation at the show.
Mr. Downing reports that a good
show was held and many fine
tulips and other early spring flow
ers were displayed.
Three pink primrose blossoma of
unusual size were shown. This
variety is rare.
One vase of dark tulips took the
first prize.
Many fine Irises of unusual
quality were shown, and also some
anemones In various colors and
shades.

ACTS PLEASE
Bailey and Barnum, Ted Marks,
and Miss Gwen Evans with her
Sunkist Beauties,- comprising the
Fanchon & Marco bill that fin
isbed a two-day engagement at the
Elsinore last evening, proved to be
quite up to their advance notices
and a credit both to the Elsinore
and the theatrical bureau. Bailey
and Barnum do a blackface act
that is quite classy enough for any
of the bigger cities, which prob
ably Is not to be wondered at,
since, the boys are not long from
the Greenwich Village Follies
They are one of the highest priced
acts to come to Salem, rumor hav
ing it that they receive as a sti
pend right close to eight hundred
bucks a week. A stipend, you un
derstand, being a whole lot more
than wages and even higher class
compensation than many salaries,
But they're worth it. Even a
ware-earner like the writer can
see that.
Ted Marks also belongs In the
headline class. At whistling.; im
itations, wise-cracks, and general
funny business, he completely cap
tured his audience and kept ; the
house in a tumult of laughter
throughout his twejve-minute skit.
And by ,the way, the boy is also
reputed to get Important money
for his stuff. He's worth it, too.
And speaking of girls, Miss
Gwen Evans and her bevy of fem
inine pulchritude did their pretty
share to fill out the bill In a large
and luscious manner. They sing
and dance and parade and a lot of
things like that and are not at all
hard to view with the naked eye
And not changing the subject, the
gals are worth what they get. also.
If not more.
Next week's Fanchon & Marcc
program will feature Carlos' Ro
mera, Dorothy Crooker. Klein
Brothers, Shara Visorka, Malvina
Polo,, Judith Romera, Alma Or
tega, June O'Brien. Cecil Arden,
Jean Dahn and others. Some of
these have been here before but
they come next week with entire
ly new programs. Klein Brothers
will be new to Salem . audiences.
They are a comedy team, just out
from Broadway, and have ap
peared in such successes as "Shu
bert Gaieties," "O, What a Girl."
"Passing Show." "Ziegfeld Fol
lies," etc. . .

Spirit of S0Ii6ojsNbw "
Rests in
WASHINGTON, April JO.
(AP). -A ' partnership of the
heights and distances which has
won worldwide acclaim passed In
to history today as - Colonel
Charles A, Lindbergh brought his
cherished Spirit of St. Louis to
earth at Us last airport.
"We" participated in one last
long hop. The boyish and tanend
transr Atlantic flyer said the 725
air miles from St. Loots to BolUdg
field had been spenned In foor
hours and 68 minutes.
j They came to be separated, in
accordance with , his promise.
Lindbergh, will forthwith torn his
silvered partner over to the
Smithsonian Institution. It will
take Its place there along with ex
hibits of outstanding American
accomplishments which Influenced
the thought and actions of times
past.
Lindbergh taxied the Spirit of
St. Louis to a hangar door, sat
quietly a moment and then gath
ered a blue sweater and some bag
gage before stepping out. He
wore a gray suit and a flying hel
met. The helmet was removed
while he opposed obligingly for
photographers.
The plane was put just inside
the hangar. Lindbergh walked
slowly around it. looking It over.
HAS FULL HOUSES
"Standing Room Only," and not
great deal of that, was the re
sponse of the public to the Singer
Stock company and its palpable
hit, "So Long. Mary." that delight
ful Geo. M. Cohan success, at the
Oregon Saturday and Sunday, and
the liberal applause and genuine
enjoyment manifested by the
crowds attested in full measure to
a highly satisfactory delivery of
the well known goods -by the act
ors in the piece. The Singer peo
ple have long been fairly popular
in Salem, but they achieved a tri
umph in their latest showing that
decidedly put them in the frn
rank as entertainers, and bids fa
to establish them even more firm
ly in the popular esteem."
The play, the singing and danc
ing, were good; and the specialties
were so far above the average that
one or two of them came near to
eclipsing the main event,-" as Tex
Rlckard would say. Mr. : Singer
has a company of people that he
can feel very proud of, and the
Oregon theater is to be congrat
ulated upon the class of enter
tainment it is able to provide
through the engagement .of this
company. 3 li ff' . j
Next week, Sunday and Monday,
the Singers will be here with that
hilarious farce, "Charlie's Aunt."
the njay that put Sid Chaplin over
so big in the movies, "unarne s
Aunt" has delighted more people
than are running for office in Ore
gon right now. It has been a sure
fire hit on the big time and on the
kerosene circuits, at the Metropol-

He showed by hia expression what
he would not say beyond, "yes. I
am lorry." He said the plane had
flown mors than 40,000 miles and
could "carry on" that far again.
Major Thomas G. Lanphler,
commandant at Selfrldge field
greeted Lindbergh and they left
the field together.
By the side of the Spirit of St.
Loots remained two enlisted men
One was Private Philip: H. Mac-
Kenxie. who had been told by
Lindbergh not to let any one
touch the ship.
The other was Sergeant hoy W.
Hooe, chief mechanic at Boiling
field, wno had supervised care of
the plane's engine on Its several
visits here. A rough-hewn, scar-red-face
veteran, the sergeant
stood a little distance from the
plane with glistening eyes.
For minutes after Lindbergh
had gone,' no word was spoken,
then W. N. Splcer of 'Baltimore.
Md-, who has been installing night
lights on the trans-Atlantic flyer's
new plane, said:
"The old girl files no more."
"Nope." said Hooe slowly. "This
Is her last. I hate to see her go.
"Boy," said Splcer. "he sure
hated to see : her go too. You can
believe that."
of the highest salaried people on
the stage and by the lowliest of
the home talent, by jing. And it
never grows old never loses its
power to make the folks forget
the over-due light bill, the punc
tured tire and the threatened visit
of the mother-in-law. Like Mr
Tennyson's brook, Ghunga Din
Teapot Dome, and Aimee McPher
son. It seems destined to go on for
ever. And if "So Long. Mary" is a
criterion, the Singer players can be
trusted to get out of "Charlie's
Aunt" every laugh that's In it.
