Harding - Montgomery -Team Real Chance The thesis of "When Ladies Meet." opening today at the El slnore, la based on the conclusions of what would happen when the wife of a philandering husband meets the woman on whom this husband is now lavishing his at tentions. The plot achieves its or iginality on the fact that its situa tions are so ingeniously arranged that neither of the rival women is aware of the other's-Identity. They are unexpectedly brought together at the home of a friend and before long, take each other into mutual confidence. When each discovers who the other Is, the sparks begin to fly. Ann Harding .plays the wife In danger of losing her husband, and Myrna Loy has -the role of "the other woman." Frank Morgan is the husband, while Robert Mont gomery plays the wily young newspaperman who. In an endeav or to show Miss Loy the futility of her hold on a married man, fcrinrm tfc trio together at the country home of Alice Btsdy where the complications come io a brilliantly dramatic turn. The settings in "When Ladles Meet" range from a millionaire's boathonse on the Hudson river to a rambling and picturesque re modeled farm house In Connecti cut They were designed by Cedric Gibbons, with Interiors by Edwin Willis, and are said to have at tract e d considerable attention during the filming ofthe produc tion. In addition to the strong drama of the feature there is a wild com edy by Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy entitled "Me and My Pal." What this will be like can eas ily be imagined and no Laurel and Hardy fan will miss the fun if it is at all possible to see it. the deposed chief executive. The army leaders, who yester day seized the harbor fortresses and other points ot advantage without firing a shot, approved the choice of Senor Cespedes as the new president and gave per mission for General Herrera to re main as secretary of war until the saheme of legal succession to the high office could be completed.

Glenda Far rell, Frank McHugh and Fay Wray heading a large cast of sterling players. The plot centers about a wax museum which has on display ex ceptionally life-like figures of personages ot history and notori ous criminals. ' The picture is photographed en tirely In technicolor with unusual lighting effects used to heighten the fascination and mystery that dominates the production.

Walter Pierce, farmer, ex-governor and congressman from the second' district. Is the Aee Man of Oregon democracy In Oregon and his record ot getting appoint ments reveals It. Pierce put over Carl Dona ugh while other so-called "leaders" in democracy's ranks kicked, screamed, entreated and wept. Donaugh has long admired Walter, tidied up the governor's house when Pierce lived here and planned to write a book of Ore gon's long-time democratic lead er. So when Donaugh wanted his job, Pierce said he would honor him with the appointment and he did. " - The incident is only important as It reveals that Pierce via Far ley and with the help of his na tional committee post, holds 'the patronage power. Pierce approv ed Alexander tor the Alaska Job. He allowed the word is used ad visedly the Portland congress man to pick Lipscomb and to name Walters of Corvallls assist ant to the Home Loan Owners' corporation. Pierce owed busi ness and . political favors to Ms- loner of Pendleton and the lat ter got the revenue collectors post. Milt Miller Is now in the berth he sought. The Joke is on The Oregon Journal in Portland for it. fought Donaugh intensely via die telegraph route while his appointment was being discussed but Pierce and The Organiza tion won out. The trend in ap pointments is to the old line. standpatter, party hangers-on; democracy in Oregon is by no means picking the outstanding men for its federal Jobs; it is picking the men best alligned with Pierce and thus with Far ley. Indicative of Pierce's pull is au thentic news that W. A. Delzell of Salem is shortly to be named a 'Great to be Alive' Grand Offering Now In "It's Great to be Alive," the new Fox musical comedy which opens at the Grand theatre to day, you have a full sesson of hilarity. Telling the story of a man who fluids himself literally the last man on earth, the film depicts a world populated entirely by wom en, each of whom has one end in view to get that solitary male. It la a dread disease that wipes the globe clean of the masculine sex. The women are unprepared for such a contingency, and what goes on toward a solution ot this emergency forms the extremely funny basis for the picture. With the comedy in the expert hands ot Edna May Oliver and Herbert Mundln, "It's Great to be Alive" has a generous supply of sclntillant moments. deputy In Mr. , Maloneys office. The word was relayed around re cently that Delzell, being over it, was not eligible to appointment. Now comes equally authentic' In formation -that tha. horse-traders la the party have looked Delzell over, -found him free from spavins and' trained to walk, trot or ean ter, and 'maneuvered the 55-year rule Into obscurity. Be It noted that Mr. Delxell was for some time Mr.- Pierce's secretary and thus In 1933 has the inner track to the patronage. Delsell's r.ppointment, when made, will give way to his selection as Salem postmaster, it is thought, when that position is ready for tilling. Milt Miller was wafted into Ed Croisan's customs berth two years in advance of the time Croisan's commission expir ed but Mr. Farley has indicated this is an exception to his rule of leaving incumbents in until their appointment term expires. Far ley's trouble, as evidenced in the Miller appointment, is fighting the "deserving demos" away from the trough. Sometimes Farley weakens; the office wolves are too lean and hungry. Another pertinent reason for a special session is. very much in evidence since August 1: the growing discontent of state work ers and officials with straight laced salary schedules adopted by the last legislature to be in effect two years. NRA may come and go but the statehouse employes, so tar, are untouched. They are not unmoved. If ."Papa" Wood ward and Warwick Hansen could near the Imprecations hurled their way from the lowest office clerk to. a department head since prices started up, shorter- hours became imperative and wages ' increased they would be glad they were far away from the dome.
