ORIGINAL GIBSON GIRL
SENSATIONAL PERFORMER
Novelty of Act Given by AnnabeIIe
Whitford Is Test of
Her Ability

To have been the inspiration and
ideal of one noted artist, and to have
created in two noted delineators the
desire to put her face and features on
paper is a rarity indeed. So far but
one girl can lay claim to such double
honor. and she Is Annabelle Whitford.
who appears in two weeks at the Or
pheum theater.
Miss Whitford is best known as the
''Brinkley girl" Miss Whitford sat for
most of the portraits and drawings
which embodied the Betty" whose de-
votions to and from her "Billie" are
portrayed on the Brinkley posters and
sketches.
When hardly more than a child Miss
Whitford was model for Charles Da-
ma Gibson. She was his "Gibson girl"
In many a drawing Of this master her
face is to be seen. To both artists she
has always appealed and any time she
did not care to be the leading beauty
of the Anna Held American Beauty"
chorus she could find work a-plenty
with Miss Brinkley, Mr.. Gibson or any
of the other American artists who de-
light in portraying beautiful women on
cardboard and canvas.
In her act she has a novelty that is
little less than a sensation, but after
all, her songs and rather legitimate i'm
presentations are the real test of her
high worth.
Wiener Peter Donald, with his clev-
er wife, Meta Carson, comes to the
Orpheum, it is a signal for the gather

to be no exception, for when the pair
appear at the Monday night Orpheum
opening they will be greeted with a
collection of tartan-clad followers of
Bobbie Burns unequaled in local his
tory.
The Caledonian society has made the
coming Monday an occasion of peculiar
import and has taken the whole lower
floor and the boxes at the Orpheum for
that occasion. The pipers in kits will
occupy boxes and will skirl the bags in
tune to Donald's songs, and the mem
bers of the various clans, with their
wives, with their tartans on and their
kits in evidence, will fill the body of
the house, making 1t a regular Scotch
night.

ALEXANDRIA ANNEX IS
THREATENED WITH TIEUP

Striking iron workers declared yes
terday that unless their demands are
granted work on the new Alexandria

tent that it will be impossible to COM
plete the structure in time to accom-
modate the winter tourist rush.
A. Johannsen, special organizer of
the building trades council, made Il

said that the structural iron situation
is so well in the hands of the strikers
that they can tie up any of the big

THE LIGHT OF JOY
ENTERED THIS HOME
A Grateful Norwood Father Whose
Son Was Cured of the Drink Habit
in Three Days at Neal Institute

are, in reality guests. and they have
the care of regular physicians.
In the privacy of bright, spacious
rooms to which they were assigned,
many we'll known Los Angeles and
Pasadena men have learned that the
Neal Cure-in- -Three-Days does cure.
The management of the Neal In
stitute declares: Satisfy US of your
ability to pay, and then pay us when
you, your physician. your friend or
all are satisfied
The Neal Cure is indorsed by prorni-
nent men in all cities where branches
are located, and within the next few
months there will be branches of the
Neal Institute, like the Los Angeles
institution, in every state in the Union.
A bond is given guaranteeing a cure
or a refund, not only of the cost of the
cure, but of the railroad fare besides.
So many people desirous of saving
loved friends and relatives from the
power of drink have accepted the
Neal way that the home, 945 South
Olive, is crowded, so it is necessary
to make appointments in advance.
Three days is the limit of the Neal
treatment. On the fourth day the
patient may return to his duties, and
the greatest comment his absence
will create will be one of surprise at
the Improvement in his looks.
Strengthened and invigorated in both
mind and body, with brain clear, eyes
bright, step elastic and feeling fine, he
returns to his business or occupation
a new man, with no craving or desire
for drink.
Alcoholism is not a disease, so scien-
lists agree, but a poisoning, that
creAtes an appetite for more liquor.
The man who requires just one drink
a day to keep from becoming nervous
is just as much in need of the Neal
treatment as the man who consumes
a quart day The man who has to
take a drink before breakfast and sew
eral during the day, to STEADY his
nerves" finds the Neal Cure will give
him steady nerves without drink. The
Neal treatment eradicates every trace
of alcoholic poison from the system
and supplies the nerve centers with
that vital force which rebuilds the
whole nervous system. 1t puts the
digestive organs into proper shape, and
in three days restores the drinking
man to a normal mental and physical
condition.
II you have a friend who would like
to rid himself of the drink habit, write
or wire the Neal Institute, 945 South
Olive street. Los Angeles, for further
particulars and booklet. The Neal
Institute may be reached by taking
the University (yellow) car, or Ninth
to Olive street.

ANT|-P|CKETING
ARGUMENT HEARD
City Council DeferS Action on the
Proposed Ordinance Against
Present Methods
MERCHANTS FAVOR MEASURE
Civic Bodies Urge Passage of
Legislation Tending to Pre-
vent Espionage
MERCHANTS FAVOR MEASURE

Representatives of the manufacturing
interests and the striking iron anC
brewery workers argued the matter OF
the passage of a picketing ordinance
before the city council yesterday af'
ternoon. The council took no action
but it is expected the ordinance will
again be under discussion at this
mornings meeting of the council.
Jud Rush, representing the Mer'
chants and Manufacturers association
took the stand that an ordinance Is
now in effect which prohibited q mar
from crying the virtues of his wares
before his place of business and there
Is no reason why an ordinance should
not be passed that would prevent any
person or persons from picketing a
place.
''If we have an ordinance" contin-
ued Rush, (which prohibits man
from saying good things about place
why should there not be law that
will prevent derogatory comments be-
ing hurled at an establishment?
1--WE do not want men standing out
side of a place OF business kissing
'Scab' at all who enter. Picketing Is
said to be peaceful persuasion. Such
tactics as are employed are nothing
more than intimidation"
c. F. Grove laid the cause of all the
industrial conflict in Los Angeles at
the door of the manufacturers, claim
ing they had refused to treat with the
labor forces when the first demand for
an increase in pay was approached:
Groves manner of speech drew the
comment "It seems that this matter
has resolved itself into a question OF
war on the public streets" from Attor-
ney Earl Rogers, representing the
Foundry Employers association.
T. ]. Spring, attorney for the Brew
ery workers union, characterized the
proposed picketing ordinance as class
legislation and suggested that there
were laws on the books at present TO
prevent any violation of quiet pick
citing"
Attorney E. w. Jutten, representing
the chamber of commerce, told the
council that the proposed pieketing
ordinance was indorsed by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association,
the chamber of commerce and the Iron
Works Employers association.

Joy has come to a home In Norwood
upon which there had long been a
shadow.
A young man enslaved by love for
liquor is rejoicing over the fact that
he no longer Graves drink.
A father whose gratitude is shown
in every line of letter bubbling over
with thankfulness has been written to
the Neal Institute, at 945 South Olive
street.
He tells Of the change that has
come over his boy"
''What grateful father am to you
made a happy man. My boy tells me
he has no desire at all for drink"
So writes this Norwood father, who,
like so many others, has learned that
it is possible to take nervous drinkers,
right on the verge of a breakdown, and
in three days restore them to normal
condition with their old appetite for
strong drink destroyed.
This Norwood fathers case is not an
exceptional one.
Hundreds of brilliant men whose pne
weakness was an Irresistible desire to
drink have become just as enthusiast
tically grateful in telling what the
Neal Cure has done for them.
Less than a month old, this Los
Angeles branch of national institu-
ton has already provided many hui
man interest stories of loved ones re-
stored to health with all craving for
drink absolutely gone.
"If this letter should be the means
of inducing any poor soul who is bound
by the chains of the great demon
called DRINK sto take the Neal Cure,
1 would only be too glad. 1 would let
this letter be read by all who are so
afflicted" wrote the father above re-
ferred to.
And the young man. freed from the
appetite for drink peculiar to so many
who are called nervous drinkers" by
medical authorities. is himself anxious
to spread the glad story of his re-
demption.
The Neal Institute is homelike in
stitution, which in three days takes a
hard drinker and sends him back to
his office or home ready to "buckle
down to business" and with desire
and craving for drink entirely gone.
The Neal Institute, which occupies
a beautiful home at 945 South Olive
street, is "just like home" The sur
roundings are helpfully quiet. Patients

Seeker After Cure for Rheuma-
tism Declares He Lost
Money in Studio

Until Arriving at Port
land Kept
MISSED WEALTH IN OREGON

Professor" L, Astro, clairvoyant and
general all-around wizard, whose last
studio was at 635 Wall street, perpetrat-
cd a swindle last Saturday, according
to the police, of which Homer O. Du-
CUR, 760 Clanton street, was the victim.
After taking treatment for rheumatism
of Astro for several months, Decuir de-
cided last week to leave last Saturday
for Portland. ore. Before he left he
advised with Astro, and was advised to
place $500, which he intended to take
with him on the trip, in a small leather
bag about his neck. and not to look
into the bag until he got to Portland.
Decuir was very much surprised when
he reached Portland to find the bag
full of valueless paper.
Decuir met the clairVoyant, he says,
about two months ago at Venice. Inn
mediately he enrolled for the rheuma-
tism cure. The doctor" was then prac-
ticing at OILS Ocean Front. Most of his
treatment, Decuir says. consisted in
manipulation of crystal balls and other
implements. Decuir was satisfied, new
ertheless, and had implicit faith in the
man.
Later the professor gathered his wiz
ard sticks and his electro-radio appa-
ratus and shifted to Los Angeles, where
he launched forth in his mysterious
practices in Wall street. Decuir fol-
lowed him. He still thought that Astro
was the efficient one.
Last Saturday Decuir told Astro he
was going to Portland to look for work.
Astro gave him a recommendation to
a Mr.. Potter in Portland, which he said
would be good for job as a paymas-
ter with a large Portland firm.
He then ascertained how much money
Decuir had, and according to Decuir
he decided that Los Angeles was bet
ter place for the $500 than Portland.
Astro told Decuir to put the money in
a leather bag, tie 1t around his neck,
and not look into 1t until he arrived in
Portland. Decuir sat in the studio for
awhile, and not long after departed for
the northern city. He is not now GER
tain as to just what happened while
he and Astro were exchanging compli-
ments.
He was faithful to the promise he
made Astro that he would wait until he
left the train at Portland before look
ing into the sack. When he looked he
decided to hurry back to Los Angeles
and see If the professor had not ad-
Vised him i'll.
Astro moved from his Wall street
abode some days ago The detectives
are looking for him, although no war
rant has been issued for his arrest, be-
cause the authorities are not certain
that Decuir's money was not taken on
the train. Decuir, however, says that
he Is pretty certain.
