AUTHOR OF "TIPPERARY"
rs ORGANIST AT VINING

1t is only comparatively short
time since the best there was in mu-
sic was found to be an essential in
the motion picture business. For a
long time it was thought, that all
that was neeessary-all that the
public cared for, was a bit of har'
mony that would keep time with the
movement of the film, and to some
extent, at least, be in harmony with
the plot on the screen. But audi
ences have progressed with as great
rapidty as have the Improvements
in screen productions, and now de-
mand that there shall be absolute
accord between the screen produc-
ton and the music.
Perhaps that is the reason that
the author of "Tipperary" and a
score of other musical compositions,
DTeSluts at Tie VI SdH III llc Wins
theater, in the person Of Alice Jaye
Smith, who after a long absence has
returned to Ashland and intends to
make her home here. She is we'll
known in the musical world as
composer, and has written words
and music for number of songs
that have made "hits" and on which
she now draws royalty. In filmdom,
however, she is best known as the
originator of what is known as the
"cue sheet" for synchronizing music
to the film, a system whereby the
music in time, tone and theme, is
made to fit the film. 1t is consid
cred a great advance in the musical
world, and Ashland may consider
itself fortunate that the Vining man
agement has secured the author of
the "cue sheet" as the conductor Of
its musical programs.

BETTY JANE RANDALL
HAS INTERESTING HISTORY

Miss Betty Jane Randall, little
grand daughter of O. II. Johnson,
the jeweler, who is paying a visit
to the Johnson family on North
Main street, has quite an interesting
history for youngster of her age.
She arrived in this world as the
result of Caesarian operation, Sep.
tember 2S, 1920, weighing only two
pounds and nine ounces, and the
mother, Clayre (Johnson) Randall
gave her life In return for the life
of the child.
Several physicians declared that
the child could not live, and the
father, desirious of doing all pos
sible to save the life of the youngs-
ter, sent her to DR.. Bilderback, of
Portland, baby specialist, who has
saved the life of many babies when
it was thought impossible. He did
the same thing in the case of Betty
Jane, placing her in an incubator,
where she was kept for several
months until she was on the way to
normal condition.
She was then taken in charge by
her grandmother, Mrs. B. T. Ran
dali, of Salem, with whom she has
made her home since that time, and
who is here visiting with her.
To look at the little miss now.
one would not think but what she
had always enjoyed the best OF
health, her weight at the present
time being 10 pounds.
The father of Betty Jane, Charles
Y. Randall, is a well-known attorney
of Pendleton, Oregon.
