By B. Ii.
"Ye gods! To think that a
man going on It couldn't even
have a dress suit!" Thus spoke
Leonard Shaffer in the part of
Willie Baxter, Tarklngtoa's hero
of "Seventeen" In the Techno club
production at the Salem high
school Friday evening.
The high school east was quite
successful in catching the spirit
of Tarkington. Almost everyone
has seen the play produced at
least once, but it is indicative of
the finish in this presentation that
well-known lines took on new in
terest. Cecil McKercher directed
the play.
Between acts the high school
orchestra under the direction of
Lena Belle Tartar, a number of
pretty good curtain acts, and cos
tume dances by Elisabeth Waters,
'.'went over" to the audience.
Included in the cast were Jean
Astridge, Fred Blatchford, Rose

the third posture check of the

Grace 8. Wolgamott, director of
physical education in the grades.
While much has been accomplish
ed since the previous check on
February 1, the director hopes to
reduce the percentage before
school closes Juno 7. The last
check shows 71 girls and SI boys,
or f. 5 2 pupils representing C.S
per cent of the enrollment, need
additional correction.
Nine posture stars have been
earned since the last check and
now 27 students possess these.

uted among the schools as follows,
HIgliland and Park, six each;
Washington, McKlaley, Engle
wood and Garfield, fire each;
Grant and Lincoln, two each; and
Richmond, one.
The last check shows Richmond
children the most deficient in
posture, with 15 per cent needing
additional help; Lincoln is next
with 11.1 per cent showing de
fects. Percentage of defects In
the other schools is: Grant, 8.8

Washington f.S per cent;? Park,
8.4 per cent; Highland. 4.9 per
cent; Garfield. 2.7 per cent; En

rank second worse, with 19.3 per

Emit Jannlngs stages a sur

"Sins of Fathers' which will be
the next attraction to open Sun
day at BUgh's Capitol theatre.
"Sins of the Fathers" marks
Jannlngs fifth American made
picture, with the added featunes
provided by synchronization is
said to eclipse his past perform
ances in view of the fact that the
musical score and sound effects
give the performance added dra
matic power.
Dr. Hugo Riesenfeld, for years
recognised as the leader of all
motion picture composers, has
given the picture musical treat
ment. The Paramount orchestra
of 75 pieces was used to record
the music arranged by the famed
director, and Irvin Talbot con
ducted.
Jennings portrays the role of a
German-American, who becomes
the richest boot-legger in Amer
ica, when prohibition causes him
to give up his beer garden.
Cording portrays the role of a hi
jacker, who in order to get even
with Jannlngs for an imagined
grievance, has the police put on
Jannlngs trail. Although the re
sult brings the starkest kind of
tragedy to Jannlngs, the fans who
see and hear this latest charac
terisation by the star are bound
to be thrilled by tense drama.

Crowds packed the Elsinore Fri

Critics everywhere have agreed
that "The Broadway Melody" at

The beginners have centered

In the play and booklets. Music
