Making Hay

Among the 200 extra" people
working in the Plattsville scenes in
the new Paramount-Pallas picture
"The Gentleman From Indiana" an
enterprising real estate salesman
managed to sandwich himself in.
When the day was over and the long
line filed past Director Frank Lloyd
for their pay vouchers, the latter,
on coming to the real estate sale
man, had forgot just what salary
rate had been promised, and so in
CURED:
Lets see, brother, how much do
you get today?"
With happy grin the salesman
replied:
1.-TWO hundred and thirty dollars!"
Frank Lloyd fell back aghast at
the mere suggestion of such wages
for an extra man, but the salesman
blandly reassured him by explaining:
Eyes, you see sold five lots at
Seal Beach to the rest of the bunch
today"
Whereupon the Scotch producer
with a laugh made out the voucher
for the regular extras" emoIument.

"The man who is worthy of being
a leader of men never complains of
the stupidity of his helpers, of the
ingratitude of mankind, nor of the
interpretation of the public. These
things are all a part of the great

not go down under them in discour-
agement and defeat, is the final proof

A WORD TO ADVERTISERS.

In this issue, the last issue of the
Canyon Press, the writer wishes to
say few words to the advertisers of
Ashland in behalf of the other two
papers. One of the apparently tfnsur-
mountable obstacles in handling the
Canyon Press was the fact that it
often took two or three trips and
twenty-four hours delay to get copy
for an advertisement. The writer
knows it is hard for a business man
to get an advertisement written, be-
cause of Interruptions, but it is a
matter of dollars and cents to the
publisher to have the advertisement
in early. Otherwise, only too often,
it is necessary to pay price and a half
for overtime or not get the paper out
on time.
Get your advertisements in early.
You will get better display when the
workmen are not too hurried. Be-
sides, If you start writing a few days
ahead you will be able to give more
thought to your own share of the
work and will so get better results
Canyon Press.
This is very true.

THE MOVIES
Myrtle Gonzalez Considers "The Chal-
ice of Courage" Greatest
PhOtOplay.

Myrtle Lillian Gonzalez, Of the
Western Vitagraph Company, who
has been seen in number of big Wit
agraph productions, places "The Chal-
ice of Courage" Cyrus Townsend
Brady's remarkable human interest
story, in the front rank of the fea-
ture pictures in which she has ap-
peared. She was born in Los Angeles,
CAL, on September 2S, 1894, and Is
Of Spanish-Irish extraction. Her
father, Manuel Gorge Gonzalez, was
also born in Los Angeles and can
trace his ancestors from the court of
early Spain. Miss Gonzalez's mother
was christened Lillian Cooke and was
born in New York city, her ancestors
coming from Cooke Castle, Ireland.
Miss Gonzalez was educated in a
convent at Los Angeles, where, in adj
dition to her other studies, she took
up music, art and the languages, OBJ
tanning her degree in each of the
three. After finishing her education
she engaged in concert work and was
making excellent progress when she
attracted the attention of Dick Fer
ris, who engaged her for his stock
then playing the Auditori-
um, Los Angeles. The ceaseless la
Dor of a stock engagement did not
appeal to her and, at the suggestion |
Of Paul de Longpre, an artist of repu-
tation, she applied for and secured |
a position with the Vitagraph COM
Dany. The silent drama did appeal
10 her sense OF the "fitnes of things"
and she adopted the calling that best
lifted her talent, posing for the pic
Lurized stories.
Miss Gonzalez has now acted be-
ore the camera for some time and
has done excellent work in such pop
liar stories as Captain Alvarez" the
irst big Vitagraph feature that came
rom the Western company; "Decep-
ion," Ghosts" "His Wife and His
Work" "The Man From the Desert"

California girls, likes the open and

icient at tennis, is an exceptional

The heights of self sacrifice an
Indian is capable of was shown by
Mary Pickford starring in Little Pal
at the Star Thursday. Little Pal is
half breed girl left an orphan by
the death Of her father. The bully
of the camp, who takes over the
dead mans business AYERS that Little
Pal goes with the establishment. Pal,
however, has different ideas on the
subject and goes to the cabin of a
white miner where she nurses him
through a long sickness. Approach
ing convalesence the miner asks Pal
to send for his wife. Although al
most heart broken by the discovery
that the man for whom she has form
ed strong attachment is married,
Pal does his bidding and soon the
wife arrives. The reunited couple
wish to return to the States but lack
the money. This is supplied by Little
Pal who steals out into the night and
robs number of sluice boxes. Heart
broken, but brave to the last she
watches her hearts love sail away
out of her life.
The only criticism made of the
play was that it was too short The
setting in deep snow was beautiful,
while no flaw could be detected in
the portrayal of the Indian charact-
eristics by Mary Pickford.

Any doubts in the minds of officials
that the treaty of 1928 had been vio-
lated was removed by unofficial ad-
vices which said that the German COM
mander was unwilling to jettison the
Leelanaw's cargo and to allow her to
proceed.
