ried.

making love to another woman she
decides to run away with Arlen.

eefore been used on a set Of this
size.
A single camera vas used in con-
trast TO the half dozen or more or
dinarily used in photographing big
scenes, and the magnitude Of this
one can be guessed from the fact
that it stretched over two stages.
1t took seventy-five teChnicians to
man the lighting equipment alone.
and all the larger lighting devices
IN Hollywood had TO be borrowed
from the other major studios.
An interesting feature of the
photographing of this scene is that
ordinary street cosmetics were sub
stituted for the usual theatrical
makeup.
Something in the nature of ex-
pertinent attached to the filming Of
this color sequence. yet the pro-
ducers ventured one-fifth Of the
entire cost of their production on it.
and the result is said to more than
justify their faith.
The costumes worn by George
Arliss, Loretta Young, Robert
Young, c. Aubrey Smith. Helen
Wesley, Alan Mowbray, Reginald
Owen, Florence Arliss, Murray Kin
nell, Holmes Herbert and the other
principals appearing in this scene
were entirely handmade, including
the embroidery on the uniforms.
Boris Karloff, alone of the lead
ing actors, is absent from this scene
Of Nathan's triumph, since he plays
the evil Baron Ledrantz, mortal
enemy OF the ROthschilds.
1t is now on view at Lows Palace.

Park
Best Yet, Is
Coulter Boast

Riverside amusement park is
stealing a catch-phrase from the
circus this season and is proclaiming
it is bigger and better than ever"
It's boasts seem we'll found. as A. w.
Golfer. park manager, announces
there are more rides, fun devices
and games installed in the resort
this summer than ever before in its
long history.
In addition to the new features,
many of the older concessions prac-
tically have been rebuilt. The
miniature railroad has been COM
pletely overhauled and equipped
with new engine and rolling stock,
as we'll as new rails.
The new engine is an exact replica
in miniature of one of the famous
engines now in service on traS-
continental lines.
Several new thrill features have
been installed in the fun castle. A
large herd of trained riding ponies
is quartered at the pony track,
which occupies the same location as
in former seasons. The Tilt-a-While
is one of the new rides that will be
in operation this summer, and
promises thrills aplenty.
Two beautiful summer gardens
have been installed in the park,
where refreshments may be enjoyed.
These are under the direction of
George Golding, veteran caterer.
The big skating rink will operate
throughout the summer, and the
dance palace will open on May 26,
under the direction of E. w. MuSh-
rush, with music by Hal Bailey's or
cheStra.
Many thousands attended the Of
fetal opening of Riverside last Sun
day, and preparations have been
made to care for a huge crowd this
weekend.

TNHE announcement that the Yiddish Art Theatre of New York City
Il will play a one-night engagement at Engishs, Monday, May IA,
is most gratifying.
To me this announcement is as important as if I we're announcing
an encagement here of the MOSCOW Art PLAYERS.

opportunity Of being approved.
There is plenty of agitation in fav-
or of exempting such necessities as
foodstuffs.
Introduction of number of in
come tax proposals may be expect
ed, but the one providing a rate
equal approximately to one-third
the federal income assessment is the
most popular.
So far Gov. Frank F. Merriam
has made no commitment on the
income tax question other than 10
admit on several occasions that such
a levy "may be necessary. -
State officials believe, however,
the tax will be made a part of the
administration program. Even if 1t
were not, it is believed the gover-
nor would find it necessary to APP
prove such a bill if the legislature
passed it.
Another result of the sentiment
in favor of redistribution levies
probably will be an increase in the
state inheritance tax which now
produces revenue amounting to ap-
proximately $l0,O00,000 every two
years.
Sentiment, as revealed by legis-
lators, is overwhelmingly in favor
of an increase in the inheritance
tax rate because so-called cum
earnedo income should be made to
carry n heavier burden.
This movement will not be with
out opposition, however. Some
state officials believed the propos-
al is not economically sound be-
cause it would tend to make the
state unattractive to families of
wealth and discourage investments
that otherwise would be made.

PARTY
FINE SUCCESS

With estimates ranging as high
as 1000 in attendance, the annual
Christmas party given by Ell Gen.
tro lodge of Elks for the young
sters of FL Centro and vicinity,
passed into history yesterday at
noon time as one Of the best ever
given by the lodge.
United Artists theatre was packed
with children who were fortunate
enough to arrive in time to get
places for the special holiday show
which Manager Herb Norris had
arranged for them. Several hun
cred more, who were unable to get
inside the theatre, were packed
around the lobby and on Main
street, hiding their disappointment
at not seeing the show in anticipa-
tion Of at least seeing Santa Claus.
AT the conclusion of the show the
youngsters were marched across the
stage where they were greeted by
Santa Claus and given presents Of
candy, nuts and fruit. The late ar
rivals were also paraded through
the theatre and received the same
treatment as those who had pre-
ceded them.
Through the cooperation of Chief
OSwalt, traffic officers were placed
on the streets about the theatre,
blocking off traffic on the cross
streets and guarding The crosswalks
as the children crossed over in
patches.
AT the conclusion Of the pro-
gram here, Santa Claus and his
assistants went TO HoltVllle where
similar performance was con-
Quoted and children in the Holt
vile area were made happy by
Christmas presents and the oppor-
tunity TO see Santa Claus.
The lodge also distributed bas-
kets TO needy persons in the lodge
area, bringing Christmas cheer into
many homes. and also distributed
Christmas packages TO the inmates
at the county farm and hospital.

GILMORE GAS
AIDS WINNERS

In the thrilling 200 mile 1884
national auto race championship
held at Los Angeles Municipal air.
port last Sunday, the drivers TAX
ing first and second places in the
hotly contested speed classic used
Gilmore gasoline plus tetra-ethyl
and Gilmore lubricants, according
to word received here today.
Kelly Petillo, one of the world IS
foremost speed kings, won the
event when he passed "Doc' Mac
Kenzie in the middle of the race
and tenaciously clung to his lead
until the referee "gave him" the
checkered flag as a symbol of vic
tory.
Wilbur Shaw, driving a steady
race, also passed the speeding
"doctor" and got Unto the mon
ey' when he placed second to the
fast driving italian.
"Talk about hot competition,
this 200 mile national champion
ship race sure had it, Petillo
wired shortly after the race I
knew it would take controlled pow
er to win, that S why I used that
record breaking gasoline-Gilmore
plus tetraethyl-and Gilmore lubri-
cants to get the checkered flag
first
Petillo distinguished himself last
spring on the Indianapolis speed
way when he set an all-time quail
flying record of 119.321 miles per
hour. In making this record, Pc
tillo used Gilmore Red Lion gaso-
line and Lion Head motor oil.
: Wild Bill' Cummings, who won
the 1894 Indianapolis race, also
used Gilmore products in the ma
tional championship event at Los
Angeles. Although he had the i'll
fortune to break a crank shaft in
his car which necessitated him
driving a substitute car in the race,
he gathered enough points to as
sure the National A.A.A racing title
for the year.
Gilmore has been a consistent
winner in the leading auto races OF
the country this year. At the ia
nous Legion Ascot speedway, driy-
ers using Gilmore Red Lion gaso-
line have won % of the Is main
events there this year.
