VINCENT ASTOR
 HAD TO STAND UP
Money Could Not Get Seats For The Last Warning

Many strange things happened at the Klaw theatre when The Last Warn ing" played there, but the behavior of celebrities in the audience has been the strangest thing of all. Helen Keller, for instance, would not leave the thea tre until she had gone back stage and talked by her maryelous touch method with Marion Lord and Ann Mason.
 John Barrymore attended twice in succession. Each time he came incog- nito and each time he had to disclose his identity in an effort to get better seats. Elsie Ferguson stole surreptit- iously into back seat between re- hearsals.
 Strangely incongru0us also has been the variety of celebrities attending, for the list includes D. W. Griffith, Clar- ence Nordstrom, the Dolly Sisters, Mis- cha Elman, Cantor Josef Rosenblatt, Leo Carrillo, sammy Lee,. Newton Fuessle, Eddie Buzzell, Abrache Konev- sky, John Cumberland and Buster Keaton.
 Vincent Astor, being unable to buy tichclS Ut tuc uOx Oltcc, IHd0c some apt remarks about the value of money as compared with New York hit Then he speedily bought standing room and stood tense and on tiptoe through the entire performance.
 The Broadway personalities were also strong in their attendance, with Beu- lah Livingstone and Bessie Mack among the prominent women and Harry Hirschfield, Moe Ducore, Charles Cor don Saxton and Kenyon Nicholson among the prominent men.
 'The Last Warming" is coming to the Jefferson theatre for three days commencing next Monday with top notch cast including Gwen Burroughs, Ruby Blackburn, Lola Norton, Connie Sydney, James Hughes, William Han- ley, w. Messenger Bellis, T. Jefferson Evans, Arthur villars, Mortimer Snow, D. J. Hamilton, Norman Gratehoyse and others.

LETTER OF REMORsE
Men Charged With Staying Wives
 Write Letter to lPublic

Joseph Cushman and l.. M. McGlaun, confined in the same cell at the county jail on charges of wife murder, Sun day called on Warden Lauro to re- quest the publication of letter to the public in which they express regret for the crimes of which they are accused, and blame their action on poisoned whisky.
 The letter, written by McGlaun and dictated by Cushman, recites that their condition was brought about while in a state of utter intoxication, and led to action which they now heartily re- gret. Their desire, according to the let ter, is that their cases be lesson to others, and that Christian persons be- ware of the influences which led to the tragedies.

Auto Club In
Appeal to All
to Stay Home

DO no unnecessary travelling on
foot or in auto until the hoof and
mouth disease has been stamped out
of California;" is the admonition
to all loyal citizens from the auth
critics in charge Of the big sob of
eliminating this costly epidemic.
An appeal has been made by the
government authorities TO the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California
to urge all motorists to cooperate
in the campaign against the disease.
Experts assert that 80 per cent of
the infection is spread by human
beings and automobiles. Hence, Il
responsibility rests on everyone of
the 100000 automobile owners in
Southern California to keep their
machines at home unless business
compels their use.
All of the mountain roads have
been closed to travel, and at all
county lines disinfecting stations
have been established so that every
day travel by motor is becoming
more inconvcnient. In some in
stances five to ten hours are requir-
ed TO cross county lines.
Authorities of Ventura, Invo and
Imperial counties particularly are
warming motorists to keep out.
The best and only way to end
this situation, according to the auth
critics, is for every person to co
operate il the wide spread c2m-
paign to eliminate this disastrous
epidemic.
