Today at Majestic in Cheese

William Desmond has played humor-

In this picture the genial Bill dis

thunder and patron of ironworkers,
hammer throwers and other ironfisted
humanity. Clad in an abbreviated cos

FOREST
SHOWN IN COLORs
Strange Painted Desert Regions
in Arizona Transferred to
Silver Screen at the Strand
for Four Days.

The Prizma picture in natures col
ors announced by Manager Bickert Of
the Strand four days starting today is
entitled The Fortified Forest and is a
study in color of this strange section
in northern Arizona containing the
petrified forest and the painted desert.
This picture runs concurrently with

While the petrified forest is one of
the most remarkable natural phenom-
ena in America it is visited by compar-
atively few people
In this region there are thousands

grew on the shores of an inland sea
long before man came upon the earth.
Some cataclysm moved them down and
the sea swept over them and preserved
them In sand and silt three miles be-
meath the surface of the continent.
The glacier periods then covered
the continent with ice and scientists
estimate that the trees remained buried
for several thousand years. Again,
when the ice receded, another distur-
bance raised the trees another three
miles above the continent. The wind
and rain and natural erosion then wore
them down to their present state.
BY means of the Prizma camera all
of the wonderful colors of this region
are re-created on the screen and the
results is a highly entertaining and in

approach to the character of Mayor
Burr. Not only did he settle a strike,
but he abolished strikes; made them
impossible in his city by destroying
the cause of all strikes. He intro
duced the democratic profit sharing
plan in his own big factory and forced
other millionaire employers to do the
same.
Quick to recognize ability, he saw
in his valet a man of force and thought
and he made the valet his principal
advisor. This step prepared society
for what would have been a shock

Pickets which had been placed in

attempt of the cooks and walters to
have meeting with the central labor
council. The meeting adjourned until

and their union. They will probably
come to some agreement Wednesday
night, Ernest Hohbach, manager of
the restaurant said today.
The local union made a faux pas in
calling the boycott on the French res
taurant, according TO some members
of the labor council The report is
that the boycott was made without
proper authority and that the restau-
rant owners are entitled to redress.
Mr.. Hohbaoh said today that an or

Portland, had declared the action was
taken without proper authority from
the powers that be.
