At the Casino.

Adapted from the play by Paul
Armstrong and Wilson Miner, 1.-THE
Deep Purple" story of love, in
trigue and the under world, at the
Casino, proves as interesting and
touching as the legitimate drama.
Doris Moore was brought up under
the strlctest discipline. She was high
spirited and imaginative, and chafed
under the yoke to which she was
subjected. Romance came in the per-
son Of q clever crook. Shortly after
winning the girls love and persuad-
ing her to go with him to the city,
Fill Lake. II wealthy westerner makes
his appearance. The crook persuades
Doris to bring Lake to her apart
ment. She agrees to do this if the
crook will marry her. He promises.
'But Lake learns of tho plot from an
other woman of the underworld, and
goes to the apartment prepared. Doris
sees different side to romance,
when she is taken from the sordid
underworld by Lake. and the picture
ends happily.
The direction Of details, especially
during scenes OF the lower life OF the
city, are excellent. Miriam Cooper,
Vincent sSerrano. Helen Ware, Will
liam Mack and w. J. jefferson are in
hthe cast.

SINCLAIR Is FAVORED.
San Diego Opponent Withdraws In
Favor of Former Local Man.


The candidacy Of B. w. Sinclair for
the republican nomination for con-
gress seems to be progressing
smoothly SO far as San Diego Is con-
cerned for announcement is made in
the San Diego Union that his San
Diego opponent, State Senator
Sample, has withdrawn in favor Of
Sinclair, giving as his reason that he
wanted to make sure Of the nominal
ton of San Diego man for the
place.
Out there in that real estate mans
paradise such things as party poll
tics or personal ambitions are never
permitted to stand in the way of the
growth of "our town" for they have a
beautiful symphony of brotherly love
in tune whereby, even the democrats
and the republicans Of the city Of
san Diego unite in the fall elections
upon a San Diego man for congress.
This year it Is the republicans turn
to name the man and all of San Diego
democrats and republicans will sup
port him in the fall. One for all, all
for one. is the San Diego motto in
politics for there are two many gov
eminent forts, naval stations, har-
Dor improvements and nearby irri-
CATION works to be fed from Wash
ington to permit Of anything but a
united front toward the remainder of
the country.
Under the circumstances Sinclairs
nomination should be equivalent to
an election and the energy he dis
played az O "go-getter" when in bust
mess in Marshalltown should promise
that San Diego will not be disap-
pointed in its advance agent of pros
perity.
