FOREST INCENDIARY CAUGHT
! ~ 4 BY AID OF TELESCOPE

In July, 1921, Alonzo E. Dole, a
professional land locator operating in
the Siuslaw country for years, was
convicted in the United States district
court at Portland, Ore, on the charge
of wilfully setting forest fires on the
Siuslaw national forest. He was SEN
fenced to four months in the Multi
nomah county jail, and his applica-
ton for a. new trial was denied,
Dole had long been suspected by
officers, of .SIes forest service Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture of wilfully setting fires in the
Siuslaw national forest, but owing to
the sparse settlement of ?, the great
forest area and consequent lack Of
witnesses, and the further fact fthat

CHARLES RAY IN "a MIDNIGHT

perturbation of the famous Charles

Among the types of small-town
characters to be found I'M this pro-

dealer who will sell you anything

most of the inhabitants because of the
large sums CT money he handles
daily; and the love-sick boys and

\ NEWS OF THE THEATRES
"THE CHICKEN IN THE CASE"
LAST TIMES TONIGHT.--GRAND

LAST TIMES TUNlGHI.--UhAND
" When owen Moore made his first
appearance on the screen last night
in 1.-THE Chicken in the Case" at the
Grand theater, the spectators gave a
contented chuckle; they probably re-
membered his recent success in "The
Poor Simp" and then they relaxed
into their seats, ready and willing to
be amused. They were not disap-
painted because by the time .reel
two was on, the chuckle had given
place Ito grin and the third reel
changed this to a broad smile. From
then on real, regular laughter was
the order of the evening. " III.
AS Steve Perkins, Owen Moore tries
to pass off the wife of his pal, Percy
Jones, as his own newly acquired
bride, and thus apparently fulfill the
condition pertaining to acquiring his
inheritance the complications arise
one after another in rapid success
sion until the tempo of the farce is
as sharp and snappy as the fire OF
machine gun. Owen Moore lives up
to his reputation as "the serious COM
edian," and the more serious he APP
pears, and the more serious, for him,
the situations, the more the specta-
tors laughed.
"The Chicken in the Case" which
will appear, last times, at the Grand
theater tonight, is one of the very
rare birds, a genuine screen comedy,
providing it's fun by the skill and
originality of it's comedy situations
and never crossing the dividing line
which is the frontier of "slapstick."

RESENT LORD ALClE
AS SHOWN BY u. S. FILM
BY Chas. McCann,
United Press Stuff Correspondent

London Aug. IS. - England at
present is the worlds battle-ground
for movie anagnates. =.
So far, the United States produce
crs are easy victors. But ever since
the end Of the war, European pro-
ducers have been hammering at the
American lines. Now, the British
producers themselves have entered
the field strongly. t
Americas start in the picture in
dustry, the amount of money spent
o.. films and the excellence of the
photography are helping Americans
to keep down European competitors.
American moving picture direc-
tors, however, despite their lovely
names, pretty faces and flowing
neckties, are doing all they can to
crab the American game. For years,
because of the lack of serious effort
over here to 60 into the movie-eN-
porting game, British movie patr ons
have squirmed as young Lord Alge,
clad in a slightly too small pinch
back Kute-kut suit, bounced down
the ancestral stairs and, cigarette
dangling lightly from his lips, blew
smoke in pater's face and remarked
how bloomin' hot it was.
The British movie patrons are still
squirming;s but they don't have to,
and if daily attacks in the newspa-
pers ontthisr type of American film
are an indication, they won't very
long. British, French, Italian and
Scandinavian and-as soon as the
slight remaining haze Of smoke from
the late war blows away, German
film producers are trying to wean the
British public from the American
films. They haven't reached the
American standard of mechanical
production, but they do know lot
of things that will. go far to help
them in their fight.
They know that young Lord Algie
doesn't wear kute-Kut suit; that
neither his valet nor the man who
carts away the family ashes woulc
wear one ASA gift; that young Lore
