Since the advent of September there
has been no cessation in the amount
of people coming here for the purpose
of fishing with the hook and line in
the bay. Neither is there any let up
in the number caught and the quality
seems to be getting better.

A Watch Repairing Tip.

It's astonishing how many fine
watches are ruined each year by be-
ing placed in the hands of poor and
inexperienced wOrkmen for repairs.
A slight oversight on their part often
causes an unnOiceable grinding and
chucking that will wear out the best
movement made in a short time. Why
run the chances? Leave your repair

that long experience and honesty can

plane as "Everywoman" and "Experi-

terialism, The Age, Sensuality. Civil
xation and Symbol.
The plan. splendidly adapted from
Harold Bell Wrights novel Of the same
name, is well worked out, but the plot
and histrionic execution before the
camera is insignificant compared with
the photoplay. The play is not Of a
sequential order. The fragrance of the
ordinary love novel is missing.
Through all the different chapters it
is evident that the author wished to
convey that there are certain pitfalls
which might be avoided in life and
that there are factors good and true
and beautiful which should be- seized.
To tell the play in detail one would
have to recapitulate almost every word
written by the author. The difficulty
Of describing the plot is overwhelm-
ing because there is little If anything
that might come under characterize
ton. 1t is play that really takes
in the gamut Of human emotion. In a
word, Life" In all it's different phases
Is exemplified
The perturbation of the play is
masterpiece. Enrique Vallejo has at
tanned almost the impossible in the in
depreciation of nature to the screen.
The play itself is dwarfed in the ex-
quisite settings in Natures bowl.
There is riot Of grandeur which takes
one from effete Boston, from the CIR
,cles of commercialism and society,
from stately homes and a life of sham,
to the wild and silent places Of Cali
fornia, where one communes with Ma
ture and realizes thatS after all. the

of it all is a task that battles the

An artist of Boston 400" family,
throws off the yoke of commercial
ism and hypocrisy. He goes to Cali
fornia. There he paints the picture
of woman but does not show her
soul in his work. The work is true
delineation of her features, indicating
purity of mind beneath the cap of a
country maid. But the artist realizes
that the picture does not define the
subject in its really human concen-
tration.
So he goes up into the San Bernar-
dino mountains. There he fully real
ICES that the greatest life prevails. The
music of Nature brings the spirit OF
the mountains to him. He meets a lit

and paints her picture. 1t is a master
piece. Then he returns TO his Califor-

Art and nature go hand in hand on
the lofty peaks of the golden state.
The picture emphasizes CALIFORNIA;
claim as a state of gold. Golden sun
light and golden oranges in glorious
groves are. two essential features por-
trayed. High on the mountains meath
the silent sentinels that watch out
over a distorted and selfish world, the
artist reconciles himself to the things
that count.
The picture Is immense. It shows
ripping streams continuing their way
against whitened rocks. the water
crystalized by the scintillating rays of
the sun. Sunshine follows sunshine
and one wonder why California should
have so much of it while other parts
of the country are, more or less,
starved.
A crimson SLOW in the east betokens
the rising of the gorgeous sun. At
eventide the sun is seen slipping be-
yond the horizon. On a mountain
ridge forest ranger is observed
looking toward Natures incompara-
BILE scene of light. As the sun sinks, a
mellow light envelops hill and valley.
The ranger and his horse are silhouet-
ted on the peak. There Is only the
breath of a sweet and exotic silence
conveyed by the scene. 1t is MASTER

an irresistible allurement to all. One

Besides magnificent perturbation of
