ACCIDENT CLOSES
LIFE Of TINY TOT
Very sincerely yours,
GEO w p HINT

While the mother was busy with
household duties Carl, the year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. E. Wayand,

ment. When the child was missed a
frantic search was made and the little

feet of water, the body still warm but
life extinct

home where the accident occurred is
in Longview addition.
The funeral of the child will take

Burn a Real Citv

In the motion picture spectacle, "A
daughter of the Gods" at the Emp
ress theater, whose spectacular quail
ity has excited the admiration of
every spectator. one of the most
exciting incidents is the destruction

ror-stricken thousands flee through
the city gates and leap from the walls
SO that onlookers might be tempted
to believe that he was being tricked
IN some way by a wizard of the
camera. But this fire scene is alb
solutely authentic. Concrete build
ings actually crumble and fall by
reason of the devastating flame and
majestic palace and mosque be-
come ruins almost in twinkling.

Be REDMOND S BILL

This afternoon at the Elks theater
the Ed. Redmond Musical Comedy COM
pany will present the fascinating mel
ody play in two acts, entitled "A Wo-
mans Way" This play will have spe-
cial appeal to the women patrons for a
story is told in a keen satirical way of
how a woman shrewdly tames a truant
husband and succeeds with all odds ap-
parently against her. 1t is quite I'M
usual in play form to have the woman
dominate the wearers of the bifrucated
garments but an this instance it is so
well done it seems strange that women
in everyday life have not before adopt
ed the unique plan.
Songs galore are introduced during
the action, chief among the hits be-
ing Myrtle Dingwall's singing of 'The
Song of the SOUL" Marvin Hammond s
THE Daughter of Rosie O'Grady,'
Josephine Dillon's Mother Machree;;'
Dixie" by Billy Cochran, Fancy You

"GirI of the Roadside" at Hin

Violet Merserau is at the Hip today
and tomorrow in a romantic melodrama
of appeal, styled 1.-THE Girl of the
Roadside The story centers around
a society girl who, thrown from her
horse, is found unconscious by man
who takes the girl to his mountain
cottage and there she falls in love with
him.
Complications set in when she begins
to have fleeing returns of her men,
DRY. The story. bit broad, gives Miss
Merserau, it is said, one of the best
chances she has ever had in pictures.
Woven into the story is crook
theme that runs to its conclusion and
never for a moment Is the end in sight
until the denouement bursts with start
ling abruptness to disclose a mighty
cleverly constructed plot.
1t makes, it is said, in the rapidity OF
its action and the snappy detail worked
out a movie dish that has a strong
flavor of romance blended with mys-
terry.

child of wealth, being cared for at
private school, while her father
Is engaged in a mining venture in the
far east. But when news reaches
the school that the father has died,
leaving the daughter penniless, as if
Aladdin had rubbed his lamp, she
Is reduced to the humiliation of a
slavery in the same school in which
she had received every luxury. The
strong friendship which springs up
between the erstwhile little princess
and the mistreated maid of all work,
forms the basis for most of the
story, and brings to light some of
the best work this famous Aircraft
star has ever done.

Had a Real Strike

Director Raymond Wells faced a
real strike in the new Triangle play,
Fanatics at the Columbia theater
today, while filming a labor trouble
scene. Brains, however, worsted Drawn
and Wells got the desired results with
out loss of time.
1t happened when Wells called for
200 men as rioters and the agency
raked in a crowd of idlers from the
streets of Los Angeles.
The buses stopped at an iron
foundry and Director Wells explained
that they were striking workmen. At
five o'clock the necessary scenes had
not been shot" and the extras struck
in earnest. They wanted more pay
and were not backward in voicing
their demands Wells assistant rushed
into the breach and things looked
black. But the camera man was not
asleep and the crowd was pacified
when Wells broke the glad tidings-
they could go. For, unwittingly, in
the fifteen minutes they had given the
director what he had been striving for
