Gary Cooper. Paramount' tall
young screen hero, gained a long
awaiting opportunity to play op
posite Esther Ralston when he
was assigned to the leading male
role in her latest Paramount pic
ture, "Half a Bride." Cooper's
chance came largely through coin
cidence. Richard Arlen. origin
ally slated for the leading mal(
role in this picture, which wil.
show at the Oregon today.
Arlea was withdrawn frorri the
Ralston picture to take the leading
male role in Clara Bow's new pic
ture. "Ladies of the Mob." This
story went into production two
weeks earlier than anticipated due
to the surprisingly fast recovery
of Miss Bow from her recent ill
ness. Cooper was available to fill the
important gap because he com
pleted the chief supporting role
in Colleen Moore's starring picture
"Lilac Time," sooner than was
expected.
The handsome young Montanan
appeared with Miss Ralston two
years ago in "Children of Di
vorce." Since that time he has
played In "Wings." "It." "The Le
gion of the Condemned" and
"Doomsday."
The Big Parade" Wit!
Come to Oregon Theatre
; One of the outstanding inter
esting facta associated with the

4ming to. the Oregon theatre, is
the number of magazines of na
tional circulation that have com
mented upon the excellence of this
pic. - Collier's, Liberty, Literary
Digest. McCa.H'8, Smart Set, Suc
cess. The Bookman, Outlook. The
Arts, American Legion Monthly,
Judge, Life, New Yorker, New
Republic have devoted special ar
ticles to the subject. Saturday

torial and pictures and their mil
lions of circulation to setting forth
"The Big Parade" as the model
of excellence.

The Marlon county Christian
Endeavor held Its annual picnic at
the Turner camp ground Saturday.
Adapting their program to the
weather, the Endeavorera spent a
large part of the afternoon In the
cool Mill creek. After all had en
joyed a -well prepared basket
lunch, two baseball teams met In
a fast game.;.
It being too hot for the annual
banflre meeting in the evening,
the Endeavorera took their Inspir

"Jazz at its hottest" might be
the title of the offering which Reb
Spikes and his Follies Entertain
ers make when they appear on
the Vitaphone presentation pro
gram at the Capitol today. Spike?
and his aggregation of colored
stars are natural synebpators and
get the last bit of melody and
rhythm out of every tune they
play.
A "premier comedian of the
screen will be seen . and heard
when Vitaphone presents Clyde
Cook in a delightful sketch,
"Lucky in Love" in the program
at the Capitol.
In their Vitaphone recital, the

QUAKES UNDER MINE
HXId TMFM
MEXICO CITY, July 21 (AP)
Unless walls and foundations
which have been weakened by
earthquakes can be straightened
adequately, the great Catholic
Cathedral of Mexico City, one of
the show places of this continent
and reckoned among the world's
important architectural works,
may remain permanently closed tc
the public.
The cathedral has been closed
two years, since the Mexican re
ligious laws became effective and
the controversy between church
and government became acute. It
has been assumed that the cathe
dral would be re-opehed whenever
that dispute was adjusted and pos
sibly before.
But now engineers say its walls
and foundations are dangerously
weak and that recent earthquakes
have increased their instability. In
consequence the government or
dered that it continue closed in
definitely. If walls and founda
tions can be so reinforced that
fear of collapse is removed that
order, issued for the protection
of the public, may be canceled.
