CLUNE, PIONEER

California Magnate Led Way

LOS ANGELES, October 19.-Film-

iiam H. (Uncle Billy Clune, who was
enc OF the pioneers on the trail that
led motion pictures out Of the penny
arcades and nickelodeons into the
giittering movie palaces of the present

A parafytic stroke yesterday result

film magnate, whose vision a quarter
OF a century ago of what the film in
dustry was to become rewarded him
with a fortune estimated at $780,
100000.
Was Railway Engineer.
A fortunate real estate venture gave
Clune, who started as a railroad engi-
neef. the money to open a small film
exchange with few comedy reels as
his only stock. 1t grew to a small
fortune when he risked everything to
build the first of his theaters to pre-
sent screen dramas on what then was
considered lavish scale.
He plunged again to enter the field
of producing and blazed trail in the
production of long film features.
Buying a StUdlO rom Mary ElCKIOfu,
the actress, he produced such pictures
as "The Clansman," The Shepherd of
the Hills" Eyes of the World"
ramona" and Intolerance"
Ramona" while not a great box
office success, was the artistic master
piece of it's day and was credited with
influencing the centering of motion
picture production in southern Cali
fornia.
For several years while he was
establishing his chain of film theaters
Clune fought enforcement Of an old
Los Angeles city ordinance prohibit
ing large electric signs. He refused
to bulge despite city bureau COM
plants against his determination to
dress his theater fronts in electric
lights, and the brilliant signs endured
long after the ordinance had sue
cu,?hed to the advance of modern ad-
w ~"
Had Few Friends.
Clune during his life was described
as doing much but saying little. He
had few intimate friends.
o. K. Evans, secretary of the Clune
Theater Co., the holding corporation
for the Clune interests. said the bulk
of the estate was bequeathed to the
theater mans son, j. w. Clune, who
is president of the holding company.

at least. because of New Year follow

mas.
In quoting prices it is always well
for the reader to bear in mind that
while these figures are generally
standard they may fluctuate a few
cents either way. Quality. quantity
and type of neighborhood largely gov
ern prices. Bargains may sometimes
be had when a dealer wishes to close
out certain stock In the main, how
ever, the prices may be regarded as
representative about town.
The reader will note that Califor-
MIA and Florida continue to dominate
in supplying the market with produce
which normally would be ''out-ot-
season" in this section Of the coun-
try. Tomatoes have been very scarce
with the result that high prices pre-
vail in that commodity. Later ship
ments, augmenting the supply. may
tend to reduce the present price. which
is 40 cents a pound. Midwest hot
house asparagus is bringing fancy
figure, selling for 81 bunch Rhu-
barb is practically off the market
California Japanese persimmons are
retailing for 20 to Is cents. California
honeydews and Casaba melons, 10
cents. The prices otherwise are stable.
The egg market. which a week or
two ago was rather uncertain. has re-
sumed stability. Produce such as the
popular grapefruit seldom varies and
can be had at two for a quarter. Po-
tatoes imported from Bermuda seem
to be plentiful. but are high, selling
for / cents pound. Eggs are so to
IS cents and butter so to 65 cents.
