DOUG FAIRBANKS AT HIS BEST
To Be Shown at the Amazon In @Hls
Majesty, the American

Film fans will have an opportunity
to see Douglas Fairbanks in one of his
great successes, His Majesty, the
American" showing at the Amazon
theatre on Wednesday, April g.
Much has been expected of picture,
for il is the first production to be re-
leased by the big Four"-the United
Artists Corporation of which Mary
Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas
Fairbanks and ID. w. Griffith are the
guiding lights-and all the promises
of better pictures" are more than
realized in the initial offering of the
big. new company.
His Majesty, the American" tells a
story that demands Fairbanks for it's
Interpretation. 1t is the tale of a miss
ing heir to the throne of a mythical
little kingdom in Europe Doug, is the
missing heir, of course, but no one
would ever suspect it-least of all
Doug himself When we find him at
the beginning of the story, an excite
mentioning, thrill-craving, adventure
seeking gay young New Yorker. we are
totally unprepared for later develop
ments, and his journey to Europe and
his capers with royalties and revolu-
tionists is a treat indeed for fun
lovers.
And novelties. My, but Doug and
his director, Mr., Henaberry, must have
been brain-weary when they finished
devising the new tricks and stunts
with which the picture abounds There
seemed no let-up; Doug just hoped
from one tight corner into another
and always came up with grin. He
has way of getting out of trouble
that we envy. He lets old trouble draw
its unbreakable ring around him-and
then leaps over it. And always with a
laugh. But we wouldn't worry either
if we had his nimble legs and quick
wit
The nightmare incident with which
the picture opens was worth the price
of the admission ticket alone. Imagine
Doug in nightmare Walking on the
ceiling of his bedroom, floating calmly
through the air, jumping roofs-just
like that-We would rather see him
do it than try it ourselves

CANADA HALTS IMMIGRATION
Makes Lit More Difficult for Work
men to Enter.

American workingmen who have re-
Gently tried to enter Canada over the
railway lines running north from Spo-
kane report the imposition of new re-
quirements for greatly increased fl
nancial responsibility. The new rule
was imposed some time ago by an
order of council at Ottawa, due to the
lack of employment in Canada and the
necessity of keeping the work on that
side of the line for Canadians. Under
the new order mechanics, artisans and
laborers are required to have $3.50 on
entering Canada instead of $50 as be-
fore. The order does not affect tour
lists, commercial travellers or returning
Canadians. Where the workingman's
family accompanies him, he is required
in addition to the amount exacted in
his own case to show $125 for every
member of his family 10 years and over
and $50 for every child from five to Is
years

Production Decrease And
Halt in Downward Trend
Of Price is Encouraging

A slight but gradual decline was no.
tceable In the production Of crude oil
during the month of July, even
though the production continued in
excess OF consumption, according TO
the report of the federal reserve in
its review of general business and fl
nancal conditions during August
This decrease in production together
with the halt in the tendency toward
lower prices" states the report, are
considered as encouraging factors by
the producers.
The fall in prices during July aver
aged IL per cent for crude petroleum
and five per cent for leading refined
petroleum products.
Since the peak was reached last
October the average price of crude
petroleum in the United States has
receded "a per cent. A very favor
able feature in the oil situation has
been the good demand for gasoline.
which has been running about 10 per

Reports To The People
Col. f. l.. Gregory of the Statesman
observed that it was the unusual
thing for senator to report back to

their wishes and to ask for their help.
The usual thing is for a man to re.
port back to his own political party
but that the non-partisan meeting
showed that the honor guest Of the
occasion was reporting back 10 the
people and not to any one party.

ton that In addition to Mexican crude

that such production can be brought
to the surface much cheaper than oil
can be produced here.
Although the hour was late there
was no hurry to adjourn. There was
friendly spirit manifested at the
meeting. Much information Of a val
liable kind was brought out and there
was desire on the part of all to be
helpful. Some Of the men said they
would get many letters written to con-

geeted to be helpful to Judge Harreld
