happiness.

'CAvALCADE'
PLAYING HERE

Pronounced by the film world,
newspapers and dramatic critics
to be one of the real outstanding
works of the cinema world. Cav
alcade," the gigantic Fox produc-
tion, will be presented at Fox I'm
perial theatre here tonight and to-
morrow.
There will be only one show to-
night, at $3.50, and two on Sunday,
one at $50 D. m. and the other at
$50 p. m.
Based on the story by Noel Cow
ard, eminent British playwright,
actor and director, "Cavalcade" is
an epic reproduction of the history
OF England from the period OF the
"nineties' up to the present time.
1t is an American picture, pro-
duced in Hollywood, though lead
ing British stars have important
roles, including Diana Wynard and
Give Brook, who portray the lead
ing characters.
Thousands of extras were en-
ployed in filming the production
and months of research work were
involved in obtaining data concern
ing the various events which are
shown. Among these are troops
leaving for the Boer war, the dia-
mond jubilee of Queen Victoria, the
funeral of King Edward, the stir
ring scenes surrounding the out
break of the World war and num-
erous others.
"Cavalcade" is not merely re-
production of historic events. 1t
has splendid plot which is link
ed together through the various ep-
isodes and carries a sustained in
terest throughout the picture.
At the Gaiety theatre in New
York. "Cavalcade" has been play
ing to capacity houses for months
and bids fair to becoming known
as the first motion picture to play
an entire year in one theatre. 1t
is in its fourth week at Grauman's
Chinese theatre in Hollywood
where box office records have been
broken.
The production shown here is a
road show sent out by Fox SO that
patrons in places outside the met
ropolitan areas may see the pic
ture at an early date.

FILES SUIT TO
TEST VALIDITY
OF ORDINANCE

To test the legal status of mint
vending slot machines in Imperial
county, w. L. Wright, in a COM
plant prepared by Attorney Harry
Horton, yesterday afternoon filed
suit for an injunction restraining
Elmer w. Heald, district attorney,
and George L. Campbell, sheriff,
from interfering with the opera
ton of the machines.
Following the recent refusal OF
the board of supervisors TO license
the operation of the machines be-
cause of a cloud about their legal
ity. the suit will determine definite
ly the status of slot machines
which are not gambling devices.
According to the complaint,
Wright has between 80 and 40 ma
chimes in Imperial county, valued
at SIPS each, but is unable to place
them in operation because the
sheriff and district attorney have
threatened to interfere with their
operation and seize them. The ma
chimes are known variously as "OK
Vendor machines" "OK Mint Ven
DOR" Automatic Mint Vendor Ma
chimes" and Mill Vending Ma
Chimes" the complaint said.
The machines in question, Wright
contends, are not contrary to law
and are not gambling devices. Upon
insertion of a five cent coin the
machines deliver a package OF
mints. and at times deliver tokens
which have no commercial value
and cannot be redeemed. Use OF
the tokens in the machines Will
not bring a mint package to the
player.
The tokens, according to the
complaint, are used merely to at
tract customers to the machines. 1t
is contended that themints used
in the machines are of a quality
equal to other five cent minis
sold in stores and shops.
