RAY (TUCSON) CORRIGAN
AT THE STATE THEATRE

Ray Corrigan, known as "Tucson"
and featured in the "Three Mesqui-
teers' and just acclaimed No. l box
office star, of Western pictures, by
national box office records, having
a rating of one hundred and ten per
cent for 1887 and 49, His popularity
has increased so the manager of the
State theatre has requested per-
sonal appearance on Thursday. One
of his most popular serials, with the
old and young is the "Painted Stall
lion," a historical Western reliving
the days of 40. Ray Tucson Corri-
gan," is a perfect specimen Of man
hood, g. 2" tall, At" across the shoul-
ders and 81" around the waist
Through his athletic ability he was
awarded the unusual assignment as
swimming and stunt double for Tar
zan pictures (EIe swings through the
trees with the greatest of ease) at
Metro Goldwyn Studio, this was the
introduction of Ray Corrigan into
motion pictures in 1882. ~o7
One of his most popular successes
was the IL episode serial entitled
"The Undersea Kingdom" where
he appeared as "Crash sCorrigan"
using his own name. This serial was
a story of his life in fantasy.
Ray lives on a ranch of 1850 acres
in San Fernado Valley, near Chats
worth, California, neighbors to Bar
bara Stanwick, Robert Taylor, Clark
Gable, and other we'll known stars.
He has very modest ranch house,
but very elaborate barns for his
seven show horses, which he rides
in his pictures, also in parades. His
favorite pastime is trai's1g and
schooling horses to do unusual tricks,
such as opening and closing corral
gates, untying knots, and taking off
their own saddles.

Peace When There Is No Peace

have passed for diplomacy in Europe's recent years.
But he did farther Down in the part of the speech
which most people probably did not read Halifax indicated

Halifax then based British foreign policy two stones

The trouble is that when the first line is taken the

out of the U. s., having enlisted
for the Civil war, Gen. Grant
had selected himself (Schofield)
to enlist an army to 60 into
Mexico and drive the French
troops out. But Sec'y Seward
and Pres. johnson wanted to
settle the matter without war,
so instead of organizing the
army, Gen. Schofield said it was
arranged that he go to Paris
and tell Napoleon III in friend
ly but firm manner that he must
withdraw his troops from Mex
leo or the United States would
drive them out.
Gen. Schofield said Napoleon
III soon announced to the public
that the purpose for which the
French had gone to Mexico had
been accomplished and that they
would soon be brought home.
This was accordingly done in
February of 1867.
Macmillan declined to accom-
pany the army back TO Europe.
In April of 1867, he was cap
tured by the Republican troops
of Mexico, tried by court mar
tial, and executed in June. The
next day Victor Hugo wrote to
Pres. Juarez:
America has two heroes,
Lincoln and thee-Lincoln by
whom slavery has died, and
thee, by whom liberty has lived.
Mexico has been saved by a
principle, by man. Thou are
that man"
A portrait OF Pres. Lincoln
found a place in the headqusr-
tiers of Pres. Juarez. No babe
in its cradle was ever treated
more tenderly than was Mexico
by the Lincoln administration.
As L. S. minister to Mexico,
Pres. Lincoln had selected Mex
icois best friend in the U. S.,
Senator Tom Corwin of Ohio,
who in 1s47 had made a notable
speech in opposition to the Mex
lean war.
The Mexican venture was op-
posed by the French Republicans
because il lost TO France the
friendship of her old ally of the
Revolution, the American people.
The Mexican fiasco added to the
unpopulsrity of Napoleon III
and the Second Empire with the
French people. II is believed
that TO restore this waning pop
ulsrity. the war on Prussia was
made in 1870, resulting in the
fall of Napoleon III and the
Second Empire, the formation
Of the Third Republic. and the
founding Of the German Empire.

on the honorable dawdlers.
Within a few days after the
presidential outburst the senate
slammed through the 1910 relief
bill. passed the army appropria-
ton measure, got rid of several
proposals cluttering the calendar
and swung into action on the
silver sterilization devaluation
front. Several major commit
tees reported out bills with
which they had been sleeping for
months. Although they dislike
night sessions, not a member
muttered when Leader Barley
turned on the lights.
Men with long memories re-
called that FDR said something
about letting congress stew in
its own juice" soon after the
session began. What he meant
was that he would submit no
specific program-thus lodging
the dictatorship attack so fire.
quently heard on Capitol Hill
and let the legislators take the
lead. 1t was his hope that they
would tumble and fizzle, and
thereby demonstrate to the coun-
try that his leadership was bet
ter than theirs. 1t worked ac-
cording TO presidential schedule.
The senate demonstrated its
low regard for the Workers AL
lance, once formidable lobby,
during discussion of the 1910
WPA bill. The sllegedly COM
munist-directed organization has
been effectively punctured by the
Woodruff investigation Of wPA
on the house side.
The only man the Alliance
could persuade to sponsor their
$3.50, 900, 900 proposition was
Senator James E. Murray of
Montana. whose influence and
experience in legislative matters
is comparatively seant. He Of
fered his amendment at the very
moment when Tony Galento had
Joe Louis on the floor in round
three of their championship bat
tie. There were only six senators
then in the chamber. The rest
were huddled around cloakroom
and office radios blaring out an
account Of the sensational fight.
Deliberately or accidentally.
Murray failed to ask for
quorum call that would have
dragged the boxing enthusiasts
back into the chamber for
showdown.
The White House revealed the
desperation of its desire for ex-
tension of its dollar devaluation
authority when il permitted
Henry Morgenthsu to brand Ally
John Bull as a faithless friend.
1t may have been only another
indiscretion, but it is doubtful
If the treasury head would have
disclosed this international secret
without White House okay.
In order to exert pressure on
the balky senate, Morgenthau
told reporters that Britain in
tended TO let the pound value sag
so that she could undersen Uncle
Sam in foreign markets. The
use of the sterilization fund, ex-
planned Morgenthsu, could not
have blocked this unfriendly
move, and only the threat To
devalus the dollar further halted
the attack on our currency.

a hit with the dramatic critics.
Topping the social news
was the announcement of the
wedding of Walter J. Thomp-

Amaryllis J. Grain, culmina-
ton Of a school day romance.
The wedding took place ut the

In the commercial news there
was the announcement Of the
incorporation of the Wheeler

was $4,000 Incorporators were

company at Des Moines, Ia, '

Wheeler had sold his interest in
the Des Moines company and
after travelling the country over
he decided that Tacoma offered
the best opportunity and per-
suaded Mr.. Osgood to join him
in the enterprise here. They
were not disappointed. Fifty
years later the company is still
substantial contributor to the
Tacoma payroll volume.
That was a great year for Ia
coma jobbers, according to one
of the financial editors. Buyers
were "as thick as flies around a

has seen a molasses barrel in
the back end of an old time
grocery store during fly time
knows just how thick that is.
Business must have been good.

quoted Harvey Scott, publisher
of the Oregonian as saying that
no city in the northwest, includ-
ing his own Portland, had a
better opportunity than Tacoma.
Coming from Harvey Scott that
was something.
