amusements for La Juntas theater
gosrs! You have, and wondered.
Well. here is the secret out OF the
bag. first hand Manager Wonderly
made several trips to Denver and
looked over the wonderful shows at
the Empress Theater and thought IL
would not be bad idea TO ge, the
show for La Junta for one night a
week, and after considerable effort,
arranged with the circuit headquar-
tiers in Chicago. to route the show
into La Junta, and commencing next
Tuesday night, February goth. the
vaudeville lovers will have the OPP
portunity of seeing the popular En-
press brand OF vaudeville one night
each week. The Road Shows will
consist OF from five to six acts OF
Vaudeville which will be presented
in conjunction with the best photo
plays. There will be one show night
ly. a two hour and fifteen minutes
performance, and the prices so sea-
sonable that every one will be able
TO afford the shows These shows
are rather expensive inasmuch as
the Empress Circuit plays the high
est class OF acts In the west, outside
OF the orpheum Circuit. and during
the season some of the yaude,ilie's
biggest headliners viii be seen here
However. Manager Wonderly feels
positive the theater roers will give
these shows their most liberal sup
port. and In that case the shows will
be improved each and every week

accurate in some Of its details. that
whole mass OF literature has
sprung up setting forth the various
sources of Mrs. Helen Hunt jack
sons inspiration Mrs. Jackson, either
fortunately or unfortunately died be-
fore her novel had attained sufficient
vogue to be a matter of dispute, and
she left no manuscript notes to
which the disputants can turn for
absolute settlement OF their contro-
versies.
Consequently, California has been
full OF rival romances, each claiming
the distinction of having been the
original OF Mrs. Jackson's heroine,
and more than one has turned her
claims to commercial account in sell
ling baskets and other souvenirs Of
her workmanship to tourists.
There was an Indian woman, for
I example, who was the widow of an
/ Indian who was shot down in the
manner OF Alessandro of the novel.
and her name was Ramona. But her
/ characteristics were not those OF Ra-
mona OF the novel. There was also
white woman named Ramona,
whom Mrs. jackson knew, and she
suggested the Mrs. Hartsel Of the
novel, but she, also. must surrender
all claims to having suggested the
half-breed heroine OF the Mission ro-
nance.
/ Recent investigation seems to
point strongly to two girls, one
/ Spaniard and the other half-breed
4 Indian, as having each furnished
characteristics for the picture OF
Ramona. The Spanish girl was
Blanca Yndart and the Indian was
Guadalupe of the Piru tribe. Both
we're wards of Sonora del Vale, mis-
tress OF Camulos ranch, which has
been unquestionably identified as the
home of Ramona Both were mere
children in Mrs. Jackson's time.
Later, they married, and were still
alive in 1912, when Carlyle Claiming

Investigated their history. These
men, both prominent in literary
fields, have published their conclu-
sions in book called The True
