Years Ago
It Was
Reported

Edward Rafferty, went to the real

day evening and discharged a re,
volver six times and was loading ur
preparatory to another salute wher
arrested. He claimed in court that
he disliked to carry a loaded re-

reason; but in answer to the matter
Of reloading, ETC., he suddenly dis
covered that he had nothing ma

All elderly gent from the Emer-

going thither they discovered this
elderly gent, and in court the next
morning he quietly informed Judge
Beach that he was calling the po-
lice to go and arrest the man who
had deposited the little blow upon
his optic, that he never drank, etc.
Judge Beach was naturally puzzled
t. know what to do and adjourned
the case till the following day. One
feature OF the case was that the

unreasonable hour of two o'clock In

EASY TO DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, 90 evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For only 75 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning all gray hair disappears. and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark ened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is sign of old age. and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound enc look years younger. --ady.

- = JACKIE COOGAN AT
 PALACE FOR ElkS

A new profession. that of thrill director" has been added to the highly specialized motion picture industry. B. Reeves Eason, who filmed the thrilling chariot races in Ben-Hur," is the pioneer. He
 created the new occupation. Eason arranges and directs horse aud
 auto races, battle scenes, mob violence and perilous stunts of all kinds.
 When Jack Coogan, Sr, decided that tackles next picture was to be race track story, he signed Eason to film the scenes which required thrills. According 10 those who have seen "Johnny Get
 Your Hair Cut" which comes to the Palace Tuesday for the Elk s Christmas tree show, Eason has
 never equalled the thrills which he has literally packed into the
 final episodes of Jackie's newest
 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film.

 In California Orchard

OROYILLE, Cal, Dec. 23.-O. W. Baker of Pentz, Cal. is the originator of seedless lemon. At the Orange and Olive exposi- tion here he exhibited his fruit and explained the development of it.
 Several years ago I budded my sweet seeding orange trees with naval orange and an Eur eka lemon. The fruit was naval oranges and lemons. I noticed the lemon were seedless and pruned the tree down to the lemon branches. The fruit has since been of good quality and seedless."

 William Russell, cast as Big Tim, gives Smiling George one of the hardest fights of his screen career when Father Joe, as ex- emplified by Robert Edeson, de. cides upon the only honorable way to end the feud. Both mon love pretty Rose Cooper and the shrewd old priest knows but one way to settle the matter. The way in which he aecomplishes this furnishes Director Ford with one of the most unusual twisss ever injected into studio proce- dure.
 Utilizing the Pacific Coast fleee. MT. Ford shot thousands of feet of film showing the fighting men at their best. For these sequences he used the finest ships in the world. including the Dreadnaught California, with a roster of more than 14400 men.

RIN TIN TIN IS AT
 COLISEUM TONIGHT

Rin-T1n-Tin. the famous dog star. has his own place in screen popularity where he stands alone as an attraction.
 In "The Night Cry" which open ed yesterday at the Coliseum Rinty proved more remarkable an actor than ever. The intelligence he displays in his screen work is not only credit to the direction of Herman Raymaker, but a never ceasing source of wonder to Ril Tin-Tin's audiences.
 "The Night Cry" gets its title from the weird cry of a vulture which preys on flock of sheep, while suspicion of the community falls upon Rinty. the shepherd dog. How Rinty rescues his mas- ter's baby from the giant condor, how in thrilling fight he kills the bird of prey, and vindicateS himself forms the theme of the story, written by Phil Klien and Edward Meagher.
 The supporting cast of "Ths Night Cry" includes June Mar lowe, who has frequently been seen with Rinty; John Harron 0ayne Whitman. Don Alvarad1

 NORMA TALMADGE AT PALACE ON CHRISTMAS

"Heartiest congratulations or your decision to produce 'Kiki' foi Norma Talmadge," wired David Belasco, dean of American play producers, to Joseph M. Schench upon learning that the film stai was to picturize his famous play Schenck has just completed ths picture for First National release
 "Kiki," with Lenore Ulric in tho starring role, was a Belasco stag sensation for several seasons. Be lieving that the role was too i'm portant to entrust to most screei actresses, Belasco steadfastly re fused to sell the motion picture rights until a year ago, when he was assured that Norma Tai madge would create "Kiki" on the screen.
 "Kiki" is Miss Talmadge's strangest role, for it reveals ths star, usually associated with moro dignified characterizations, as T harum-scarum gamin of the Par-s streets-a devil-may-care, but lov able spitfire who aspires to be 8 great lady,"
 Clarence Brown directed the picture, and it was produced un der the general management o John w. Considine, Jr., for Firs; National. "Kiki" is the Christ mas feature at the Palace.

Attractions At Theatres
PARIS" IS GREAT
 FEATURE AT PALACE

Take a few thrills--a bit of eerie atmosphere-and add about twice the amount of laughs-and you have a great photoplay sue. cess.
 At least, this is Edmund Gould. ing's formula-and the result il seen at the Palace theatre in Paris" his latest Metro-Goldwyn. Mayer entertainment.
 It's a Parisian nights enter. tainment-one can't exactly call it comedy despite all it's laughs because there is a good deal of vivid and gripping drama in it too-and it's not exactly a thrill CT despite it's thrills. It's just entertainment-and novelty.
 Charles Ray forsakes the couH- try boy roles that made him ia nous and swashbuckles through a modern D'Artagnan role as a,l American tourist out for a good time in a dress suit-and enmesk- ed in a plot of the Apaches of the underworld.
 Joan Crawford plays a fiery Apache maiden with whom he falls in loye--to draw the fire of the whole underworld. until the police reserves have to come out and save him. Ray plays his role with a delightful sang-froid tha casts new light on the versatill' ty of this noted actor.
 It is one of the most interesting offerings of the season in poihr of novelty and sheer entertain ment-which, Goulding says-is after all just what it was made for.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
PARTY BEST HELD

Dozens of people have told this
paper they regarded the banquet
last Saturday night as By far the
finest thing of its kind ever held
on the island. The Island Club
House was literally swamped with
well-cressed people from every
point Of the island and from a half
dozen different places on the main
land The banquet was ordered
for 200 people aud $50 were serv-
ed. That accounts for the slight
delay in the service and the short
age OF some things at the tail end.
But the dinner was excellently
cooked, and the tables were daint-
lily set. Mush credit is due the
ladies who sponsored such an un-
dertaking and who worked 50 I'M
complainingly all evening.

troduced, consisting Of Norman
Edison, viee-president; R. w. f.
Martin, secretary, and Zene Whit
temore, treasurer. Each made fit
ting responses. The two solos rem
dered by Miss Coyne were indeed
beautiful and the two violin offer

likewise well received, George
Spinning took "down the house
with his "old settlers song" and
responded with the "liaumtS of

minutes to give five reasons why
he welcomed the five distinguish

that st. Peter was supposed to
welcome everyone to the vestibule

Then followed ringing addresses
by NJ. Stevenson, OF the Tacoma

and eloquent address and he was

Mayor Of Seattle. Mayor Landes
talked for about half hour, and
scored one fine hit after another.
Col. lnglis Of the Sheriff's office
spoke briefly and John +. Adams,

suggested the inclusion of Vashon
island in the Marine View High
way from Olympia to Blaine, and
sat down amid thundcrous APP
Frank II. Paul, Chairman of the
Board Of Collty Commissioners,
told why he was pacifist. lie
said he loved peace and harmony
so much that he was always ready
to take off his coat, roll up his
sleeves, spit on his hands and fight
for it. Everyone laughed. He
then told a story ou We Editor and
