brothers. The complaint charges
that the plaintiff entered into an
agreement with the defendants a.
bout a year ago whereby he was to
raise lettuce and melon crops on
certain property owned by the de-
PENDANTS. He was to furnish his
time and the tools for the cultivat-
ing of the crops while the plaintiffs
were to take care of the packing,
shipping, loading anu sale of the
crops.
The plaintiff holds that the de-

transactions. He charges that the
crops were raised and disposed of as
per the agreement but that he has
been unable to obtain his share of
the profits. He asks that the de-

- ELINOR GLYN'S STORY
 IS AT PALACE SUNDAY

Elinor Glyn has written 2. defi- nition of love. The famous au- thor, who supervised the produc- tion of Loves Blindness" the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture ta- ken from her own novel, at the Palace Sunday, is generally con sidered an authority on this mys- terious emotion, so her definition: as follows, should be interesting: Love is the vital spark which makes life. It is the expression of the soul. The lowest creatures. the worst creatures, are raised when they love, because, for the time 1t holds them under it's sway they cease to be utterly selfish. It is an essence beyond our sight, hearing, or touch, which uplifts us. It is composed of three parts, the spiritual, the mental, the physical, and is newer complete unless each of the trinity is Of equal strength. The spiritual and mental alone would be friendship; the physical and mental would be merely of earth, and the spiritual and the physical would be with out balance. There must be the trinity in perfect love-"

to Mary Mallory, a pretty and plucky CaaihtIiAh girl, and Ed finds the girl good influence in his unhappy existence.
 When Mary's baby sister falls ill and she starts out in a severe snowstorm for the doctor, Rinty aids her, and, in a thrilling fight with a wolf pack, brings the girl safely to her destination.
 Rinty had been suspected of injuring the child, but in reality had rescued her from the attack of wolf. His loyalty and bray cry vindicates him of the suspi- cion, he saves the child, and brings together the two young lovers, after series of thrilling incidents and encounters with a starving pack of wolves.
 This is said to be the most ex- citing as well as most beautiful of Rin-Tin-Tin's pictures, and those who saw him in Below the Line" "The Clash of the Wolves" and 'sThe Night Cry" his recent Warner productions, will realize that he has a high standard of entertainment to surpass.

Attractions At Thcatres
LON CHANEY AT
 COLISEUM TONIGHT

Thrills of a new kind; the haunting mystery of the mysteri- ous Orient, with codes and phil osophies that almost pass Occi- dental belief; these, garnishing a romance delicate as the lotus flower, mark Lon Chaney's new triumph on the screen.
 MT Wu.' playing at the Pal. ace tonight, displays Lon Chaney in a new angle to his old arts. As is usually the case in bis out standing plays, Clancy uses in- tricate makeup for an intricate character; but this time he goes beyond his usual portrayal.
 He invades another race for his character, as the silent, sub- tie and sinister mandarin, versed in the knowledge of ages; almost uncanny in his insight into hu- man character and his enormous power, pursuing his relentless program of 'revenge against a family who wronged him.
 The cast is a notable one. Louise Dresser plays the English mother, battling the mysterious Oriental for the life of her son; Renee Adoree, the Chinese daugh- ter, whose wrong precipitates the dramatic situation. Ralph Forbes, the English son, Claude King as Muir, the old Scottish governor, Anna May Wong. Gertrude Olm- sted, Holmes Herbert, Mrs. Wong Wing, and other we'll known play CTS appear in a great cast in the production.
 Zelma O'Neal, comedienne. who lately joined the Jack White forces, will be seen in the leading feminine role in support of Al St. John in the new Educational Mermaid comedy Who Hit Me?" an added attraction to the bill to. night.

LARGE CROWD HEARS
 HUBBARD'S LECTURE

An audience that packed the house listened to the lecture by t,le Rev. B. R. Hubbard at the Coliseum Theatre last night, on the Scenic Wonders Near Ju- pean." The slides of the trip to Alaska, Mendenhall Glacier, Taku River and the vast ice fields be
 tween Mendenhall Glacier and Taku Glacier, the scenery sur rounding Dr. II. c. DeVighne's Twin Glacier camp and of Twin Glaciers taken from q mountain behind the camp, were surpass- ingly beautiful. They were made from pictures taken by Father Hubbard last summer and illus trated viyidly the arduons trip taken by him and his companions.
 The conclusion of the lecture was the story of the three day trip from Mendenhall Glacier to Taku Glacier made by Father
 Hubbafds Henry Pigg, Jack KDby and the latter's three dogs, illus trated by many pictures taken along the way. While it was easy to see the extreme dangers of ihe trip and the utter woariness of the men and dogs on the sec ond and third days, Father Hub bard relieved the tale by relating many humorous incidents that as well as several near ly tragic ones. Comments heard in the foyer of the theatre indl cated that the lecture and pie lures were thoroughly appreci-' ated.
