CE1COO LOTTO
By D. B. K,
Good moraine! i And remember,
only the lo -minute egg kick be
cause tbeir three-minute eggs r
four-minute eggs.
;
r ; - Thii week's Liberty Magazine
says: "Among the distinct hiu
r-' - around the .country right now are
i4 Sadie Thompson. Red Hair, and
The Last Command." The ad did
- n't cost the Elsinore a cent but
then. Liberty probably didn't
know that that theatre is playing
.TThe Last Command'' this week
ad has "Red Hair" dated up for
Sunday and Monday. .Sadie
Thompson Is coming, too. Hav
ing seen "The Last Command." we
are . ready to applaud Liberty's
Judgment. It's a grand picture.
Success: Being able to get off
- every atternoon to play golf.
m
Failure: Calling it "supper."
and not being able to get home to
eat it until 6:30.
Poetic Justice: A speeding mo
torist cussing an absent-minded
pedestrian who turns out to be
the Judge of the traffic court.
Charlie Chaplin's "The Cir
cus." is faster and funnier than
"Speedy." according to several
reviewers. Others prefer the Lloyd
picture. The writer has seen them
bpth and would hesitate to pro
nounce eKher one better than the
other.
One moment Emil Jannings is
the sleek arrogant Jtussian grand
duke; the neat hq U the 'Holly
wood extra a derelicV-nd to. the
mind of the writer, one of the
greatest wonders wrought in "The
Last Command" is the change that
Jannings works in facial expres
sion for the two characteriza
tions. Jannings ought to be able to
do a remarkably Jekyl-Hyde- met
' However, the best people are
'hose who can do their worst with-
V jut getting in bad.

Glenn Singer, big laugh pro
's lucer of the Singer Stock Co.. pur-
J feyor of "Charlie's Aunt." etc.,
t it the Oregon, is a sad appearing
Is- uy off the stage. He looks like
ft in Englishman who has Just eat
s' in a pickle and is on his way to
ft et hung. But Gosh how they
laugh at him. "Excuse Me" is the
1: singer laughing gas for next Sun-
s day and Monday.
'
;.- ? - Saturday didn't get the reputa-
r tion of being a busy day by any
; rush of people to pay it back to
. you on Saturday.

The self-made man frequently
has trouble concealing traces of
the raw material.
And the fellow who kicks the
toudest for clean napkins is more
than likely to have a number of
roller towels in his geneologlcal
chart.
OBIT
Here lies what is mortal
Of Peter McGrew;
He dated up Lena
Then went out with Lou.
Manager Caulkins of the Elsin
ore Manhattan Players is enthus
iastic over "The Maverick." the
play they will put on tonight and
Saturday. "All of as like it." he
remarked. "It isn't often that a
piece will click so spontaneously
with practically all the members
of a company, but in this case we
couldn't be happier. And that
means that the audience will like
It. too."
And by the way, it has been
pointed out that the Elsinore and
Oregon theatres bring close to
thirty people to Salem for two
days of each week In the two stock
companies playing at those theat
ers. All "good folks," too, who
spend their money with Salem
business houses and become, for
the time, a part of the big Salem
family.
According: to the Portland
Journal, "laughter for laughter's
sake is the keynote of Clara Bow's
hew comedy of American life
Red Hair." The picture was In
-Portland last week and attracted
large crowds. It comes to the El
sinore for Sunday and Monday
with Fanchon it Marco's "Moscow
Idea."
Dr. Matsinger, professor of
psychiatry at Buffalo university,
aeciares brunettes "nave more
vigorous brains and bodies" than
blondes, and "perhaps the reason
why gentlemen prefer blondes is
erause they are much more man
- ageable than brunettes." Profess.
did fyou ever see a mad blonde?
Ana wntcn of them, do you
suppose, Wm. Longfellow Words-
Torth had in mlad when he wrote
o feelingly:
There is gladness in her gladness
When -she's glad:
nd there's sadness In her sadness
When ahe'a sad:
But the gladness of her gladness,
Dr the sadness of her sadness.
Is nothing to her madness
WHEN SHE'S MAD!

Miss Stella Smith and her priie horse "Sir Robert' caught by
the camera in the riding act. which is one of the features of the Al.
G. Barnes Circus coming to Salem Wednesday. May 16.
The bareback horses with a circus are the aristocrats of the
equine side of the dressing room inasmuch as they are never called
upon to do any other work, and their day's employment does not
exceed twelve minutes In twenty-four house. Horses selected for
this act with the circus must possess certain qualifications, which
inchrde a disposition not to become excited and to obey the slightest
command of their rider.

Care is exercised to use no more

no better than light ones. The solu-

ind bushes are also sprayed.
A three-gallon compressed air
sprayer is adequate for five acres

"Magnascope" at Oregon
Theater Clever Attahment
A novelty .In Salem this week la
the new "Magnascope." introduced
las night at the Oregon theater
for the first time in connection
with the showing of 'the spectacle
picture, "Ben Hur." The Inven
tion Is designed to gire the Illusion
of a third dimension to the picture
as it is flashed on the screen. In
addition to length and breadth.
there is a depth apparently given
to the picture with an effect start
ling In the extreme. Especially
in the scenes of battle and in the
great chariot race is the new ad
junct appreciated. Spectators are
treated to scenes so like the real
thing that they are in fact almost
astounding. While "Ben-i-Hur
started with the matinee yester
day, the "Magnascope" was not
used until the night show, but it
will be featured In all showing
of . the picture, matinees and
nights, for the remaining days of

mer comedy triumphs. In this new
story by Elinor Glyn, and she car
ries her audience with her in a
tremendous sweep of sympathetic
laughter. Underlying the light
hearted lilting of the pieces, how
ever, there Is a keen analysis of
human nature, a firm basis of un
derstandlng to which Miss Bow
brings, in addition to a solid screen
experience, an unwavering know
ledge of life and people. The story
Is catchy. A manicurist, "gold
digging" as a side Ime. captivates
the fancy of three middia aged
Lotharios who, in competing for
her favors, cast clothes and jewels
at her feet. The little manicurist
dances her way into then- Hearts
and out again when she falls in
.ove with their ward, a handsome
roung man, whose declared affec
tion is threatened with dissolu
tion when the "gold digging" ac
tivities of thejittle manicurist are
disclosed to him. By her own clev
er manipulations, however she dis
comfits the righteous minded guar
dians and, in several exciting and
dramatic scenes, recovers the
'right young man" for her6elf.

'THE MAVERICK' BE6
DILL FOR TOIH
Arriving from a triumphant tour
of "the provinces." the Manhattan
Players will produce "The Maver
ick" at the Elsinore this evening
starting about 8:30 with the con
clusion of the first run of "The
Last Command." The show, a 3
act comedy drama, has had a cor
dial reception in other cities on
the company's route this week and
should be very acceptable to Sa
lem folks, many of whom already
have a warm spot in their hearts
for the Manhattan company.
This will be the third bill the
Players have ppeared In here, the
others being "A Dollar a Week"
and "The Vulture." Their popu
larltv was pronounced from the
start. There is a lot of real intel
ligence among the members of the
company and they us that quality
early and often with the reeul
that there is a welcome lack of
stilted, forced "acting" in their
performances. While a comedy,
"The Maverick" has a good plot
and sufficient drama. It ought
to be a very satisfactory show.
Precaution Not Taken,
Fatal Accident Finding
G. M. Rice failed to exercise rea
sonable precaution whe nhe drove
his automobile in front of a South
ern I'acmc passenger train on a
crossing near Parkplace on April
29, according to a report filed with

today by the official board ot in
quiry.
The automobile was struck by
the train with the result that Mrs.
Rice and her two children were
killed. Mr. Rice was injured. '
The bord of inquiry found that
the crossing was protected by a
wigwag signal bell and was unob
structed.
Trainmen who testified at the
hearing were W. F. Lovett, engi
neer; H. H. Darrah. fireman; O
O. Johnson, conductor, and A. O
Otterson. brakeman. The hearing
was held at Oregon City.
Not Architect Unless'
Approved by Examiners
Otis J. Fitch, Piatt building,
Portland, has no authority to re
fer to himself as an architect until
he has complied with the require
ments of the state board of archi
tect examiners,1? according to an
opinion prepared by the attorney
general.
The question submitted to the
attorney general ; was whether
Fitch Is entitled to place on his
office .door the words "Architec
tural Offices of Otis J. Fitch" and
have his name listed in the tele
phone directory as an architect.
The attorney general's reply was
in the negative.
The opinion was sought by the
board of architect examiners.
