Mutt and jeff
In College Comedy

Carrying a company of fifty-four
people, a carload of scenery, and
bringing an entirely new perform
ance with scenic effects, musical
numbers, choruses and the entire
play all different Mutt and Jeff come
to the Vining Theatre on Monday,
March 19. This is a screamngly
funny comic opera. A road show
not moving picture.
The public demand for a new Mutt
and Jeff has been more than realized.
Gus Hill's latest version of Bud FISH
er's inimitable chaacters, entitled
Mutt and Jeff in College, is the most
conspicuous innovation of recent
years The title alone suggests end
,ess comedy situations which have
been taken advantage of to fullest
capacity. Not alone is the story
new, but music, dances, etc, are also
new anu VI maj dS Ntlls Out VI lllO
most decided hits of the performance
is the musical number with dancing
accompaniment, when Charlie
Chaplin Marries Elaine" in which
all of the popular serial film plays
are represented by their principal
characters, including Charlie Chap
lin, Elaine, The Goddess, Pauline,
The Diamond from the Sky, etc. This
number calls for repeated encores at
every performance. College COM
mencement day in the Auditorium Is
without doubt the most hilarious!y
funny scene ever presented on any
stage. A solid hour of constant
laughter; not laughter, but screams
of merriment a perfect tornado of
indescribably ludicrous comedy that
is simply irresistible. In fact, the
show may be termed in theatrical
parlance, a riot. This is the fifth
and best edition of Mutt and Jeff,
which will undoubtedly live for many
years to come.

HaWley Pleads for
Fighters Pension

Representative Hawley is making
an endeavor to have the Indian war
veterans pension bill changed by
congress to hake thirty days instead
of ninety the term OF service emitting
the beneficiary to a pensionable
status. In arguing the proposition
before the house Of representatives
at Washington Hawley recalled some
of the early Indian experiences in
Oregon. In part he said:
I'm southern Oregon, for instance,
on the Rogue river and on the Ump-
qua river, through which wagon
trains came over the old Oregon-Cali-
fornia trail, running along the
boundary between Oregon and Cali
fornia, the Indians would watch un-
I'll the wagon trains were on the river
and were ferrying their tsock and
wagons across. The plan was usual
ly to take the stock and women over
first. The men stayed back to guard
those who were on the side from
which they we're departing, some few
having gone on ahead. The Indians
would suddenly strike at the women
and children, swooping down, seizing
what they could and carrying them
away. If the men were watchful
they might check them. They would
apply to the settlers, sending out
couriers for aid, and for many miles
around these men volunteered, fur
nished their own equipment, and
came there to either succeed or die
in the relief of those people.
In addition to the arguments that
have been made in behalf of those
who we're regularly enlisted in the
United States service, and for those
who were regularly enlisted in the
state service, | want to make plea
for those who rendered volunteer ser
vice and who can prove their SER
vices. They, too, are worthy of rec
ognition."

Puts in Speedy
Shoe Mailer

An electric sole-naiiing machine,
one which drives $50 nails per min
ute and nails sole on a shoe in nine
seconds, has been installed at the
Eastern Supply Company. The ma
chine is absolutely the fastest built
and but few shops in the United
States are equipped with them, and
probably only one other shop in Ore
gon. The Eastern Supply Company
now has a most complete and up-to-
date set of shoe-repairing machin-
cry.

Vining Features
For the Week

Tuesday nights attraction at the
Vining is Hazel Dawn, "the most
beautiful girl in the movies" in The
Masqueraders.
In THE Masqueraders," in which
Miss Dawn has been starred by the
Famous Players Film Company, the
beautiful musical comedy enchant-
ress will more than prove her claim
to recognition as one of the foremost
dramatic actresses on the screen.
Miss Dawn appears as Dulcie Laron-
die, a young beauty who becomes a
barmaid, marries a baronet who
proves to be a despicable character,
and eventually finds the happiness
which is her due in the man who has
loved her since she was a small child.
Dulcie is the supreme test of Miss
Dawn's ability as an actress. Hith-
erto she has won her audiences by
her beauty her personal charm, her
bewitching smile and her innate clevt
erness. In her latest role, however,
she must add to these qualifications
interpretative genius of the most po-
tent quality. That she has done this,
everyone will agree who sees her in
the Paramount picture.
Wednesday and Thursday.
The advance man of "Mutt and
jeff" the musical comedy which is
coming on Monday, March 13, to the
Vining, was in the city Saturday, and
in talking with Manager Bergner
happened to mention "The Coward" D."
a picture which had impressed him as
being really great, and asked Mr..
Bergner if he had billed it. Oddly
enough, "The Coward" is one of the
two Triangle features billed for We'd
nesday and Thursday nights of this
week at the Vining. 1t is proclaimed
to be really great treat. Don't miss
it. With the big film play, 1.-THE
Coward" will be shown a two-reel
comedy featuring jolly fat Rosco Ar
buckle in "Fickle Fatty's Fail"
Fatty" is taking a place alongside
of Charlie Chaplin in motion picture
comedy. His comedy is irresistible.
"The Coward" is a southern war
story and was produced by Thomas
Ince, one of the three greatest di-
rectors in the motion picture world.
The battle scenes are said to be sim
ply stupendous.
The scenes of "The Coward"s are
laid in the Valley of Virginia in 1861.
The story is that of prideful father,
a type like Coriolanus or Sparticus,
and weak, timid son of the Hamlet
like type. Needless to say, Mr.. Kee-
nan appears in the role of the arro-
giant and domineering father, the
wonderfully sincere young actor,
Charles Ray, as the son, Gertrude
Claire as the mother and Margaret
Gibson as the boys sweetheart. 9th
er characters include the Confeder-
ate general, played by Charles X.
French, and a couple Of old negro
servants.
