England. It was warmly praised by critic, layman and the theatri cal world rn general. ' The play is scened la and about Dorsetshire, England. Here with poignant appeal, the depressing days of August and September, 1914. with their t-riflc suspense are re-enacted. Here two boy cous- -fns, one an artist and tbe other an enlisted man, - battle parental objections to a girl from "over there" with whom both are in lore. -What happens Is the unusual theme which is said to be salted with comedy suspense and irre sistible heart tag. All of the Manhattan players are appearing in this production. The military men. Major Cecil Spencer' and Lieutenant Neville vVingate. are to be portrayed by Charles Caulkins and J. Burt Bur ton respectively. Grace Bentley is Colette Dufaux. Jack Smart i Ern ie Dufaux and Marie Miller is tfrs. Wingat. Other effective roles ire carried by Lou Dunn, William Fariss, Rose Wood, and Allyn Lew The cheers of thousands of peo ple were drowned by the roar of 'The Spirit ot St. Louis" as it took off on the memorable flight to France. Later there came the thunderous welcome of the Ameri can people extended to Colonel Charles Lindbergh upon his returr to Washington and the speech by President Coolidge. All of this and more than can be told wltl mere words may be heard at the Capitol Theatre today and tamor row with the movietone news. Lindbergh's flight really mark ed the dawn of a new era in the flying realm and it was flttlnglj celebrated upon his return 'as the bands Iayed and the most promin 7nt citizens of the country gather ed to pay him tribute. President Coolidge gave a brief summary of historic flights and then bestowed upon Lindbergh the Distinguished Flying Cross. Colonel Lindbergh n turn spoke briefly and brought -rreetings from "France and Eu- ope" to the people of the United states. Another special feature of thr -novietone news film is the talk 'jy Mr. Hayes, director of the Mov trg Picture Industry, in a brief maner he set forth the nroarrear the motion pictures and paid fitting tribute to those, responsible for bringing forth tbe vltaphone which marks another great ster n advance. The most expensive scene eve? filmed for a motion picture is one In Warner Bro's. production show ing Al Jolson in "The Jazt Sing er," which shows at the Capito! today and Saturday. N one or seeing this particular Ftne, how 3ver, would suspect thr.t any extra ordinary cost was attached to it. The scene, in fact, 'oka quite or dinary, being that ot the interior of Coffee Dan's c .ebrated cabaret in San Franciscr What made the scene so expens e was the curios ity of several hundred movie peo ple at work In the Warner studios Once camerai. began clicking oc "The Jaxi Singer." every actor and actress, as well as every employer ia the studios, was interested Everyone wanted to see Jolson dc his stuff before the cameras. I leaked out one morning that the "Coffee Dan" scene was about to go on. The people all knew that Jolson was to sing for Vltaphone In this scene and sa few of them had had opportunity to hear the comedian's voice they were al! anxious to do so. The excitement ran from stage to stage and something had to be done. It was then that Jack War ner, the production chief, came forward to do the only thing that would satisfy everyone. He promptly declared a holiday for tne seven units then at work on as many pictures and Invited all the people to sit In on the work on the picture. Jolson never faced a more In tense or a more enthusiastic audi ence and enjoyed It all as much ar aid his audience. When Jack Warner was asked what the holi day cost Warner Bros, in the way of salaries for which no work had been done, he merely smiled. "It's so much I am afrafa to figure it." he said, "but whatever It was the pleasure we gave everyone was worth it." -O I -o I Salem Msurketa GHATS 'N. 1. wheat. wMU... ..$t. st ..Sl.M Kd vkMt, aae-a Oat. par ha. atim..

Twenty beauties, each a talented lancer and singer In addition to ability to play fire or six musical instruments equally well, describes the girls' accomplishments. A chor us of 10 saxophones, 12 banjos ttrummlng in unison, 20 violins playing a plaintive melody are on- y a few of the unique features of .ne enieriammem presentee 07 :hem. The girls as an organization are in unusual combination of femin Ine entertainment, and the variety f instruments and novelties used jy them are as varied as anything 3ver presented by Paul Wbiteman jr any other famous aggregation. The appearance of the Follies jirls at the Elsinore theater is an other example of the hooking pow ers of Fanchon and Marco in se curing only the greatest of stage ittractions, and of the determina tions of the Elsinore management to secure real big city acts for Sa- em. The Follies girls are one of .he biggest shows that has ever ome west.

EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE AU cemaaetfiaae far tU d r ut mmt ke aigmmA by Ua r.taz. mi wrlttra at ef Mr . ul mkaM 1 't Wafa Editor Statesman: u - Kindly permit me to draw atten tion to the importance of our vote in the primaries next Friday. It has always been my belief that if m are to secure the best returns possible for our vote that wc must ise as much discretion, at least, is we would in the transaction of any other ipmortant business. Our vote should express our polltcal belief. Locally, our city officials rep resent us. They are our political -eflection. If we are to have a city well managed, laws enforced with fairness and justice toward all, we must select as our officials men ho have a high standard of life, men of integrity and honor. I cast no reflections upon any official or administration, present jr past. There has been some of rood in the worst, and some ot bad n tne best. Whatever has been .hat was inimical to the interests jf the city, we, the people, have oeen largely responsible for, eith jr through our rotes or our lack or voting, we generally fail to commend the good and faithful .errant of tbe people, and far too aften we smile upon and condone .he shortcomings of those recreant o their trust. It Is our duty to en tourage and back up our officials -n the proper discharge of their du ties, and then we will be justified n expecting and demanding they ive up to their official oath or ilse step down and out. Among the candidates for city offices I wish to speak a word for me, a man whom I have known -early 25 years, and who will if elected, I believe, ably and con ictentiously perform the duties of his office. I refer to O. J. Hull, ho Is a candidate for the office jf city recorder. He is a man of wide experience, algh Ideals and unimpeachable character. He Is one whose clean ife. record as a soldier In the 3panish-American war. and his de motion to all efforts for the better ment of society should entitle him :o tne support of the voters of lem. O.

Salem has now a land ing place for flyers near the fair grounds. If this city rotes to accept the airport and flying field offered the city by the state it will hare the only class A field In the state, with half mile long runways larger than the new flying field soon to be dedicated at Portland If Salem people rote the new air port the state capital will go on the map and be electrically light ed for all air traffic In the Wll lamette valley. At present the nearest airport, aside from the one maintained by Lee Eyerley near the fair grounds, id main tained at Silverton, which is draw ing air traffic away from Salem, practically all mail and passenger ships going over that route. Nearly all cities of any size in Oregon have airports or have them under consideration. Has 27 Enrolled Lee Eyerley has been a resident of Salem for nine years, and be sides supplying this city with air port service carries on an aviation school, having 27 students enroll ed. ' Other schools in the state to teach flying are at Portland and at Medford. He saye: "A larger and better equipped field at Sa lem would man hundreds of new students learning to fly and a larger payroll for a new indus try." Mr. Eyerley is an enthusi astic aircraft man and established bis school at Salem In the fall of 1927. W. A. Hazelwood, an army pilot and graduate of Kelly Field, Texas, is his first aslstant, and has several years of flying experience. Lee Eyerley Is a pioneer, harlng started flying In 1921. bringing to Oregon one of the first ships to fly commercially. He has a reputation for being a conserva tive pilot, using no old "Jenny" machines, but all modern equip ment. Taking no chances and us ing the latest methods of training. He "will open a ground school about June 1. teaching mechani cal work, rigging, meterology and navigation. His ships now do croes-country business as well as passenger hops orer the stats house, where every body is trying to "land." This Industry hsa already pro gressed at Salem so that any ma ior shlo orerhaul or rebuild job is possible. Personally a conservative fly er.

BAST UNFROCKED AS METHODIST BISHOP (Continued from page one) duced the public and the central mission to buy the paper printed and issued by himself, called "The Lighthouse," he having at timer let it he understood that the paper yielded no profit ot importance and at other times that the profits were devoted to charitable objects, whereas the actual circumstances were that the paper had yielded a profit of about 249.000. of which the greatest part went to him per sonally, j 3 The said Anton Bast always declared to ministers as well as to laymen that the enterprise owned and conducted by him. namely "The Lighthouse" and the print ing press, did not return a profit worth mentioning on the con trary risks were involved which declaration is false. A final appeal to the Judiciary committee of the general confer ence remains open to the suspend ed bishop. He did not indicate to day whether an appeal would be taken but In discussing the trial court's action Indicated that the verdict was no surprise to him. As the case stands, Bishop Bast's future rests in the hands of hia annual conference which must give him charge unless he Is un frocked by that body after trial. "In my heart I still know that I'm Innocent." Bishop Bast said "For some time I hare foreseer such a rerdict might come because the church would not care to es tabliah the precedent of going against secular court decisions "My call is still to preach." He indicated he would be content to become a Methodist minister In Copenhagen. Bishop Bast was temporarily suspended from his area In north era Europe by a church tribunal, at The Hague In March, 1927. fol lowing his conriction In Danish clril courts on a charge Involving his management of "The Light house."
