ANDRE LAMBERT, messen
ger, said: "I like the regular
vaudeville acts better than the
vitaphone. Seeing the actors on
the stage is Bnappier than
watching a picture of them,
even though they do sing and
talk just like real Ute."
HUBERT LEWIS. West
Point cadet, visiting In Salem,
said: "The vitaphone acta
bring us artists we could not
get here otherwise. Most men's
voices sound good but the wqm
en'usually sound like a cheap,
tin phonograph. That will be
corrected in time though and
the vitaphone will be as good
as the real actors."
HARRY PLANT, local prize
fight promoter and caretaker
of the Salem armory,' said: "I
can't see that the talking mov
ies areany particular improve
ment over the old silent kind.
Personally, I would enjoy al
most any of their speaking 'pro
ductions just as well without
the sound. I haven't any par
ticular objection to the speak
ing part, though."
MRS. M. CLIFFORD MOYN
IHAN, wife of a local attorney,
said: "I like the 'talkies' 'much
better. Without them It would
be Impossible to hear a produc
tion like 'The Singin' Fool. in
which Al Jolson sang so many
of his songs. You 'enjoy a song
more If you can sit there and
watch the singer. You can hear
a radio or phonograph produc
tion, bat you can't see the sing
er who produced it."

will be with us the remainder of
tne week and we all hope, for a
long, long time to come. (He
seems to be recovering nicely from
mat dislocation, but if any admir
ers want to send him flowers, or
letters, piease be discreet.)
Now we suppose all the little
boys will be trying to make one
eyebrow go 'way up and keep the
other straight, like Jack Holt does.
Jack plays an Englishman this
time, and he's the biggest comedy
element In the production, outside
of Peg. But Jack makes the fatal
mistake of trying to screw his
monocle into the eye with the rov
ing eyebrow. He can't.
There are two actors in the pro
duction that have never appeared
with the Players, both bine-blood
ed aristocrats of the highest aris
tocracy of oh, dear. I almost
told you! But I adore the brown
and tan one and intend to walk
off with him when the play Is
finished.
Willetha Rltter Is as charming
as anyone can be In such an on
sympathetic role as Ethel Chl
cester. and May Sheldon also has
a heavy part to hold up. and does
it beautifully. They have hidden
Helen Rodolf, Lonnie Joy and
Jack Lawrence under as many
bushels, but their lights shine just
the same.
But sure and 'tis Peg we love.
And Peg and Eunice Richards are
synonymous.
They've got Adolph Menjou In
"His Private Life" on the screen

Eugene Minister Closing
Speaker at Unitarian Con
ference Thursday
"Youth Is not religious today,"
declared the Rev. Ernest M
Whitesmith. Eugene minister, at
the closing session of the coher
ence of the Unitarian churches
here last night. The 192 confer-
ence will be held in Vancouver,
B. C. ' --''.I
This is my observation from
my experiences as pastor in var
ious churches in different parts of
ther country, Mr. Whitesmith
said. "The average student win
subscribe to any creed ! thought
lessly as long as no one Interferes
with his actions. i
Instead ot learning to think
these young men and women go to
the universities not knowing what
they want. Real culture, which la
the ability to see Ills In proper
proportion. Is lacking for the7
want to learn how to make a living-
rather than how to live."
Contribution Shown
Clarence J. Young, Portland at
torney, representing the! lay at
titude of the church and Its func
tion, emphasised the fact that the
value of any religious group to
society must not bo judged by the
numbers ot that group, but by the
contribution ot Its members to
civilization today. i
He mentioned the large propor
tion of Unitarians In the" "hall of
fame" and in Who's Who In
America, in spite of the! compar
atively, small number ot Unitar
ians. . ;
Proeeiytinar HI V'"
He warned -his -hearers not to
cheapen religion in order to in
crease numbers by proselyting
among the established churches.
but said that since 6X) per cent 'dt
the. people of the United States be
long to no church that is Ithe prop
er field for their activities.
The Rev. Charles Pease of Spo
kane closed the conference, speak
ing on the "Function of the Lib
eral Church in Relation to the
Mystic Way." Mr. Pease asserted
that in spite of the fact that many
people think the Unitarian church
Is merely a rational movement in
religion, as a matter of fact It has
the finest element of practical
mysticism. He showed that the
quietism ot oriental mystics could
not satisfy the western! temper
ament, but that the energy" of
modern civUltatlon can. be soften
ed and beautified - by : the mysti
dam' exemplified by the lit and
words of Jesus. ,
";M Conference Closes
The devotional service of the
closing meeting- was conducted by f
the Rev. Dorothy Dyar of the
University Unitarian church of Se
attle, who with the Rev. Ada Ton
kin of Vancouver, B. C. discussed
the problem of religious education
at the morning session. -
