BKin TERRORS OF W SO BROUGHT LIM Hank Mann, the old-time film comedian, veteran of the Keystone Cops days, is seen with Richard Barthelmees in "The Patent Leath er Kid." the epic of the tank corps. which is now playing at the El sinore. Hank Is a rookie in the opening scenes, and comes into camp with the other recruits. When he walked into the first scene during the screening at Camp Lewis. Wash., he carried a mysterious paper parcel, which was not. called for in the script. The property department tried to take it away from' him. but be clung to it and carried it 'about all day, refusing to part with the bundle. .The curiosity of Director Alfred Santell and members of the cast was satisfied late in the afternoon when. Hank unrolled the paper, took out a half loaf of stale bread and sat down on a bale of hay to eat It. "I've been to war before," was Hank's only comment as the crowd roared with laughter.

Honest, they're tunny Glenn Singer is the only trooper we ever ran across who didn t want to play Hamlet. And he says that If he were going to play Ham let (III bet he wants to play Hamlet, too!), he'd fix the part up so that the old King. Hamlet's father, wouldn't really die. at all. He'd disappear for a few days, tne way Glenn would fix it, and re turn on the eve of the supposed widow's wedding to the villain Appearing at the door slightly stewed, he'd nut an a holler for his share of the furniture daim Ing the radio aa ALL his. etc.. etc.. etc. Not you can't shoot him; not In this state. It's agin the law. OBIT Here lies what is mortal Of Silas McOrner, He didn't slow up when he Rounded the corner! In New York they say the Tele graph critic is a hard guy to get favorable press notices from. He Is said to have looked at Raphael's painting of "The Last Judgment" one time and barked out that the artist "had too much of a mob in his background." But the Tele graph, speaking of "The Patent Leather Kid." said: "It wins the championship 100 per cent aud ience picture." Thank yon very much. Mr. Telegraph critic! "Your Neighbor's Business" is the name of the play that the El sinore Manhattan Players are bringing to Salem Friday and Sat urday. By the way, did you know that the Manhattans are going to open the Hippodrome at Portland this week? Pact. Casting about tor a stock company that could hit any kind of pitching, the Hippo drome management found wnat it wanted la the Manhattan Players and offered them a contract. Big league stuff, eh? Yep. We knew it all the time. "Harold Teen": Called by the Brooklyn Press, "a rollicking and hilarious farce of high school ac tivities In a small town with a great cast of funsters." Not bad "Harold Teen ' comes to the Ore gon tomorrow. Funnier than lh the "funnies. Perhaps the main attraction of Harold Teen," which opens to morrow at the Oregon theater, is its freshness and youthfulness.

P. wuw uvr naou utj Statements of expenses of can didates in last Friday's primary election continued to pour in to could live their youth over again and "Harold Teen" comes nearer to that than anything yet devised. The picture is based on Carl, Ed's newspaper comic strip of the same name and contains all of the characters made famous by that npted cartoonist. Tom Geraghty, who is given credit for the screen story, has elaborated on many of Ed's most laughable situations to an extent that rocks the house with mirth. The title role is played by Ar thur-Lake, who gives the outstand ing performance of his career and one that should go far toward making him one of the screen's most popular comedians. The lead ing feminine role that of Lil lams is pUtyed by Mary Brian; while Alice White in the part of Giggles, the school vamp. Is great. "Harold Teen" was directed by Mervyn LeRoy and produced for First National Pictures by Robert! Kane. : PEACE PUN LAUDED RAMSAY Miw DONALD SPEAKS BEFORE U. S.

(AP) When the great powers sign the treaty suggested by the proposals of the American secretary of state, Frank B. Kellogg, the armies and navies of the world will shrivel up. Ramsay MacDonald. former la bor premier, declared before the American chamber of commerce at a luncheon today. "Sign a multi-lateral pact out lawing war," said the leader of the opposition in the house of commons, "and these false securi ties we havevvainly trusted, these defensive arms which have nev er protected us will disappear, be cause they are useless." Mr. MacDonald described the American peace note as "this mag nificent declaration of simple fact." In place of Sir Austen Chamber lin's statement that "his majesty's government would cooperate to the utmost In making the proposals effective." Mr. MacDonald wished to substitute the words that "the United British nation unanimous ly and cordially accepted this move for world security." With one part only of the Brit ish reply, Mr. MacDonald found fault that regarding self defense. "When such a treaty is sfgned" he said, "self defense becomes un necessary and any aggressor im mediately becomes an outlaw." Ellis in Mr. Corey's behalf. $784 45. Denton G.

Bligh's Capitol theater offers some attractive numbers on the vitaphone today, which would pay everyone to see and hear. Eddie Peabody, who is featured in the delightful number, "Banjo mania" on the vitaphone is a cheerful young man with flying blonde hair. He is an expert on every variety of stringed instru ment, but his forte is the banjo. Peabody and his assistant, Jimmy Maisel, render some wonderful se lections."

Tom Brown, the leader of the Six Original Brown Brothers, has taught the family so well that they appear to do everything on the instruments. Apparently they converse with case and will be played at the Capitol on the vita phone program. Some of the new popular songs included in the number which Frances Williams offers on the vi taphone presentation program at the Capitol theater are "Oh Baby Don't We Get Along.'VIt Goes On Like That," etc. She is a for mer Keith leader and present star of the Scandals. All of these excellent features form a part of the vitaphone pro gram, which Is scheduled for the Capitol theater today in addition to the picture "7th Heaven."

May 22, (AP) Two city firemen who had often worked together in fighting down town blazes and who received fa tal injuries Sunday when their life strap snapped during a drill for the Rose festival, may be buried together following a dou ble funeral according to tentative plans made today by fire depart ment officials. The two men were Charles A. Ryan. 38, and William John Mc- Creery. 43. both of them hose men and both were practicing a drill. The plunge of McCreery and Ryan was unavoidable. Fire Chief Grenfell decided today after he had conducted an investigation of the accident. There was no way to tell the life belt they used was defective and no way to tell what caused it to break, he said. Tests of such life belts are conducted regularly and this belt although six or seven years old was not as old as some! of the belts now in use that 'have! tested sound, he said. SAN DIEGO. Cal..
