ft- 2 The New Oregon Statesman. Salem. Oregon, Sunday, August 12, 1923 i Salem Favorite Appears in New Farce Comedy :. Of Real Merit Glen "Boxe" Singer is back again at the Oregon theatre today in -a brand new farce comedy, '.'The Isle of Bon Bon,' and from reports it is one of the best plays presented and is a riot from start to finish. It is a domestic comedy, filled with many fanny situations and is a riot from start to finish. The Columbian Four will offer several new songs aasis.ea by tue Rosebud Chorus in song and dance. It is seldom that a film .offer ing comes to town carrying enter tainment elements that are sure to please sophisticated folk and lover of sheer, clean entertainment as well. There is one however show ing along with the "Isle of Bon Bon;" First national's lively ro-; mantic comedy, ''Heart to Heart. ' Mary Astor, Lloyd Hughes and Louise Fatenda . are featured at the head of a splendid cast. Wil liam Beaudine's skillful direction ' and a story filled with novelty and appeal gives the players every chance to score, and their perform ance lives up to the opportunity. Good Clean Comedy "Heart to Heart" is packed with the sort of clean comedy, romance and touches of pathos that should delight "family folk," and Its del icate irony will undoubtedly please the more critical. ' v nen an actor is called upon to play a dual role wherein the two characters are utterly dlssim liar Id character and with only cer tain physical resemblance, his art is taxed severely. He must in a picture especially make rapid transitions, not only la makeup but in thought. Thus, in the roles of the twin . brothers in "The Wheel of Chance bis newest starring picture for First .National, which comes to the Elsinore next Tuesday, Richard Barthelmess had a difficult and exacting task. His consummate ar tistry and his enabled him to meet the demands with great success, : according to those who have seen this picture. Twins in Contrast One brother, black haired and trim, a young attorney, is a con trast to the red-haired, scarred and dissolute twin. Only the size and general contours are alike. In habits of thought, in mannerisms, each differs materially from the other. Psychologically and in all other ways, Barthelmess is said to have made a real record in this film version of Fannia Hurst's short story, "Roulette." The picture Is an Alfred Santell production. STAR AT ELSIE Pal. the two year old half of the team of Bargarina and Pal who are appearing at the Elsinore Theatre in Fanchon and Marco's "Doggone" idea Is a full blooded . Pinkingese. Pal comes from a real theatrical family, his father having toured , for several years with a Japanese juggling act. His mother before she became too busy winning rib bons at dog shows, was an impor tant unit in a trained dog act of a traveling carnival company. Under the training of Barbar ina, little Pal started his theatrical studies, at an early age and with the talents born in him developed rapidly into a star performer.

(AP) Sam N. Thompson, president of the American farm bureau feder ation, tonight declared the farm ers would be "disappointed" with Herbert Hoover's statements on agriculture as expressed in his speech of acceptance. Farm people will be disappoint ed with Mr. Hoover's statements regarding agricuRure," Mr. Thompson' said. "They had every right to expect a specific outlined proposalon agriculture relief." "In dealing with the agricul tural problem, Mr. Hoover in his speech of acceptance shows no progress in advanced thought that would provide fundamental principles for a concrete market ing policy for American agricul ture. "Mr. Hoover does not amplify the broad general statement con tained in the 1928 republican plat form adopted at Kansas. City. The 1928 republican platform is the same in substance as the party pledge of 1924."

Aug. 11 (AP) Showers of shooting stars, containing as many as 50 visible meteors an hour, were ob served tonight when the annual August display of natural fire works was occasioned by the earth crossing the orbit of Perseids. These firey streaks are relics of a comet that was discovered in 1862 by Tuttle, an American as tronomer, according to Edwin B. Frost, of the Yerkes observatory here. The comet disappeared soon after it was discovered and has never been observed since. Many of these meteors fall into our atmosphere and can be clear ly observed around August 11, Mr. Frost stated. Tonight was exceptionally clear and photographers at Yerkes ob servatory obtained several photo graphs of the display, with the shooting stars represented by tiny streaks.
