What's Happening In and Around

What to See and Where to Buy in
MELONFEST UNDER
SILVER MOON Is
FEAST FOR GODS

This is the morning after the night
before, under the silver ring of Il gypsy
moon, and flowing star light, amid the
palms and pepper trees of city park
and watermclons of Imperial valley cx-
ccllence, with the band playing.
Ceremonies opened with an announce
ment by Will Stanton that the melons
were ready for serving and for folks to
! come and get them. No second invita-
tion was necessary. The committee had
arranged a large counter, behind which
a dozen or more men, equipped with
cleavcrs, split the melons in quarters
as fast as they were rolled down u
chute from the trucks.
A flock of fairies from the Califor-
MIA Central Creameries served the de-
licious crimson fruit in the way it
should be served were all the gods Of
Olympus there as guests.
AS soon as one truckload Of melons
disappeared down chute and grateful
gullets, another took it's place.
Everybody in town was there, bank
ers, lawyers, real estate men, doctors,
butchers, bakers, 1--WE have no candle
stick makcr) working men, flappcrs.
flappees, kids of all ages and dcscrip-
tions; all blissfully and juicily busy.
When the immediate appetite seemed
to be satiatcd, they started carrying
off whole melons for future consump-
ton. 1t was no uncommon sight to see
dad hiking for home with the youngest
Of the family pcrchcd on one arm, a
big melon under the other, and little
Tommy crying because he c0uldn t cat
any more, or had eaten too much, tag
ging alongside. Those who had no
"pride of the family to carry, had
a watermelon under each arm, striding
along with visions Of nice cold feed
in today's heat.
Some there were who didn't have
sufficient energy to move after absorb
ing melon for the best part Of an hour,
and these sat around on the grass or
benches, listening to the Holtville band
play. Several times some member of
the band sounded the army "chow
call' and one could notice former
"bucks - rear their heads and get set
to go, then remembering they were al
ready full of melon, they sank mourn
fully back on the grass to "lct the rest
of the world 60 by.
The chamber Of commerce committee
handled the occasion in fine shape, and
lived up to its promise of the biggest
and best mclonfcst. Everything was
carried out with promptncss, and the
committee deserves the thanks of the
people of Ell Centre for a very enjoy
able night The melonfest has won a
place in the yearly calendar of Ell Cen
tro doings that is unsurpassed by any
other occasion, and evidently increases
in popularity each year.

THEoDoRA TONIGHT AT A1RDoME

Most of the great spectaclcs that
have been given to the screen
have been, after all, mainly a series Of
episodcs-the perturbation of great
events that call for massive effects and
great numbers of people. In this par
ticular "Thcodora,' the Italian pro-
duction which Samuel Goldwyn brought
to this country and which will be seen
at the Palace airdome today and Fri
day is an exception.
Many Of the basic facts of the drama
are recorded history but in developing
the story Sardou called upon his dra
matte sense to make the appeal the
greater and the interest the more tense.
With only the settings of the painted
thcater drops Bernhafdt made this play
one of the greatest hits of her career.
1t was played in America by Fanny
Davenport and others. The reason more
did not use it as a vehicle is that it
calls for the greatest powers of an
actress and there are few capable OF
the task.

WISER NOT TO
 ARGUE WITH THEJUDCE

ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 23.-"Don't argue with the judge--it's costly bus- mess" This bit of priceless advice was voiced by Attorney Arthur Hey man, who by an apology in court to Judge John Humphries saved him self from term of twenty days ill jail or a fine of $2OO.
 The alleged infraction of court rules came in the case of Elmer Oliver, former president of the Oliver Rim Company, who was being tried on a charge of embezzlemont of more than $100,000 of the com pany's funds.
 The verbal tilt between the at- torney who represented Oliver ana the court followed ruling made by Judge Humphries in permitting certain evidence involving sl,50o transaction Oliver was said to nave made while president of the rim company.
 "They are trying to hatch up this item, which never before mas been included in the charges, AL torney Heyman told the court
 He attempted to read records concerning previous testimony, put was interrupted by the judge.
 "You needn't read that the judge said. q am familiar with what has been testified"
 "Then do you propose to charge Mir Oliver with this item?"
 ''No; I'm not charging him with anything" the judge replied.
 "This charge is began Hey man. ...
 'Now, MT. Heyman, you hush up and sit down, or I'll send you to iail!" was the judges warning.
 "All right, certainly" replied the attorney.
 "Mr. Sheriff, collect $1oo from MT Helman, or keep him in jail ten days!" the court said. q am sur prised that a lawyer of your stand ing should insist upon maintaining disrespectful attitude. The fine must be paid, or you must accep' the alternative. That's final. Ii I can't keep good order I would not be worthy of presiding over the court"
 "I am also surprised at your at titude," Heyman replied.
 'T am going to give you another s1O0 or another ten days!" Judge Humphries said.

 In the meantime men got to work and smashed in small part of the safe. Bellows were used to pump in air.
 Owing to broken communications it took the automobile twenty hours to make the journey to and fro and the prisoners were fed through tubes.
 Had it not been for the action of the manager upwards of S15O,OOo would have been taken from an ir- ner room.

Proxies" Cosmopolitan production released by Paramount, which will
 be shown at the Empress Theater Monday-Xmas night. The theme deals with reformed croks who is determined to live straight and who has hard time realizing his desire. He manages to do so, however, de- spite his many obstacles and finally wins out in his great struggle. The picture is not only entertaining but it has the quality of uplift as well. Norman Kerry is the leading man, and his work will be greatly admired. Playing opposite him is Zena Vir- ginia Keefe, charming actress in every way The support generally is excellent while the production direct ed by George D. Baker is highly artistic.

M.OVI l E

A fascinating story that will appeal especially to the feminine element of the audience, a talented and beautiful star, and a most elaborate produc- tion, beautifully photographed, are what the patrons of the Empress the ater will see when Elaine Hammer stein appears in "The Woman Game" tonight.
 The story is based upon the idea that it is no more than fair that woman should be entitled to pursue the same tactics in her business in life-which is the matrimonial game as the man does in his.
 Showing tonight only.
 Viola Dana, the Metro star, will be seen Sunday only at the Empress theater in her newest photoplay "The Fourteenth Lover," Harry Btau- mont production of Alice D. G. Mil ler's story, adapted for the screen by Edith Kennedy. The story concerns wealthy young society girl who is asked by her father to choose one from her thirteen suitors and to set tie down from her whilwind debu- tante career. AS she considers set , ting, she casts an eye upon the young college-bred gardner of her fathers estate. The young man re- fuses to become her fourteenth lover. The girl, Vi Marchmant, is put upon i her mettle. She is going to make him" love her. This determination leads her into merry and exciting ad- l venture.
 Miss Dana, as Vi, has role that fits her vivacious personality to nicety, and her supporting cast IS excellent.
 One of the most delightful pictures seen here in many weeks' IS
