NEW THEATRE HAS
A FLATTERING
OPENING
ALL SEATS SOLD EARLY MONDAY
AND HUNDREDS OF APPLICANTS DISAPPOINTED
RAMONA, THE GREAT CALIFORNIA
DRAMA, THE FIRST TO APPEAR ON ITS SCREEN
Hundreds of persons were waiting in front of the New Grand theatre on Monday evening when the doors opened, anxious to get seats at the first performance. Nearly all were ticket holders, and it was useless for any person who did not have a ticket to attempt to get in, as the seats were all sold during the day, and many applicants Monday afternoon were turned away. The room seats 700 people, and extra chairs were arranged in the broad aisles to accommodate the overflow. It was a flattering opening for Manager Mozart, but he gave them an entertainment worth seeing. Ramona, a dramatization of Helen Hunt Jackson's famous novel, is one of the most spectacular productions ever staged, and it appeals to the people of Southern California because its scenes were laid in this region.
Ramona is a magnificent panorama of the scenic charms of California, because its incidents were photographed as far as possible on the very scenes that Mrs. Jackson endeared to millions of readers through her epic romance. Many photoplay makers find it neces-
Ramona is a magnificent panorama of the scenic charms of California, because its incidents were photographed as far as possible on the very scenes that Mrs. Jackson endeared to millions of readers through her epic romance. Many photoplay makers find it necessary to disguise the fact that their views are Californian for dramatic reasons, but the producer is proud of the fact that every one of its more than ten thousand feet of film is a splendid lure for the world at large toward the Golden State.
Ramona is the story of California, of the fierce gravity of the native Dons and the fiercer rapacity of the onrushing white homesteaders. It is a story that carries a sermon, but the author made of it something greater and grander than propaganda, for she put into it the living truth and vital romance so richly that it captured the imagination of the entire continent.
So great is the interest of the country in all things Californian that it is probable if the producers of Ramona advertised it as a faithful showing of the "Land of Heart's Desire," thousands would want to see it in every state. Fiction has treated California only as the seat of a new civilization. It has been delineated as the gold hunter's Paradise, the adventurer's Eden, the speculator's El Dorado. Ramona pictures it as the Indian's lost inheritance and the Spaniard's desolated home.
One of the scenes in the book was laid at the Bastanchury ranch in this county, it is said. Ramona followed the sheep shearers, and at the period in which the book was written that ranch was covered with thousands of sheep. Ramona is still living with the Hopi Indians near San Jancito, an old, gray-haired woman, but a queen among her people because of the notoriety given her by Mrs. Jackson.
The New Grand is one of the most beautiful little theatres in Southern California. It seats 700 people comfortably, and has a system of ventilation that changes the air every three minutes. The orchestra consists of seven pieces, and the music is excellent. Manager Mozart declares that nothing but high class plays shall appear on his screen. The theatre is also fitted with a twenty-four foot son's famous novel, is one of the most spectacular productions ever staged, and it appeals to the people of Southern California because its scenes were laid in this region.

ENGLAND AND A PROTECTIVE TARIFF
The rapidly changing attitude of Great Britian toward the principle of a protective tariff is further exemplified by the following quotation from the Chamber of Commerce Journal, the official organ of the London Chamber of Commerce:
"It is remarkable how the differences between what used to be known as the free trade and protectionist schools have been dispelled by the breath of war. Even Manchester—the stronghold of free trade—will have none of it in the future; indeed, there are practically no free traders or tariff reformers now, but we are all citizens of no mean Empire, with a soft corner in our hearts for our present accident, Dr. E. A. Healy, dean of the College of Theology and president of the board of trustees, awarded the degrees. The graduating class was the largest in the history of the university.
Degrees granted to students from Orange county were as follows:

"The NE'ER-DO-WELL"
The Ne'er-Do-Well by Rex Beach, produced by Collin Campbell, who produced the Spoilers, the greatest picture ever filmed, features Wheeler Oakman and Kathlyn Williams and an all star cast. The hero is Kirk Anthony a college graduate, a veteran football player, and, since graduation, the coach of his university team. On the evening following a football victory, the last of the season, Kirk and others start out to celebrate. Late that night he finds himself on shipboard, and when he awakens he is without money and without baggage. During the voyage Kirk becomes acquainted with a woman—a Mrs. Stephen Cortland—whom he learns to admire very much. She is really a diplomatic agent of great influence. One day while Kirk is out hunting he meets in a forest bower, a Spanish girl who is known only as Chiquita. He falls desperately in love with her, and tries vainly to discover her identity. The story of his making good, of his winning of Chiquita despite the counter plotting of Mrs. Cortland, of the clearing of his name, and of the final decisive intervention in Panamanian affairs of old Darwin K. Anthony, is strongly engrossing and varied by many richly humorous episodes. Chiquita is by far the most charming feminine character Rex Beach has drawn, and Kathlyn Williams as Edith Cortlandt is an exceedingly convincing and fascinating type.
This photoplay can be seen at the New Grand on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, June 16, 17, and 18, and Saturday matinee at 2:15.

Charles L. Davis Santa Ana garage man has filed suit against City Attorney E. J. Marks, of Fullerton, for the recovery of the 1916 Auburn automobile turned over to Marks several days ago by Irwin Weaver and on which Weaver realized $550 with which he disappeared from this part of the country. Formal demand for the return of the machine was made upon Marks by Mr. Davis, but the attorney refused to give it up. The car is valued at $1210 and in addition to this amount Mr. Davis asks for $500 damages. Weaver turned the auto over to Davis on Tuesday, taking in exchange Mark's old car and the $550. A check for that amount was made out by Marks in favor of Weaver and the money was paid to Weaver at the bank after Marks O. K'd it. Marks then took Weaver to Whittier in the machine and Weaver has not been seen since.
Mrs. Herman Stern entertained a number of her friends at Five Hundred on Thursday afternoon. Prizes of electric candlesticks were won by Mrs. Ralph McFadden and Mrs. Al Smith. The dining room where a dainty luncheon was served was decorated in pink and blue hydrangeas.
In spite of a much lower market, Aanhelm Supreme brand of oranges sold at New York Monday for $4.70 per box, Mother Colony brand selling for $4.30. The grower who is able to say that this fruit is packed under the above brands puts a premium on the value of his orchard. There is no section that is drawing more attention to itself that is being done in our community through the record prices being obtained by the exchange association of this city.

Rumors that the Pacific Electric railway and the Salt Lake Route are about to build into Fullerton gained strength when it became known that a Los Angeles hotel man, who declined to allow his identity to become known completed arrangement whereby C. C. Chapman, upon his return from the Chicago convention, will immediately begin the construction of either a two- or three-story hotel of fifty rooms, on North Spadra street, facing the Christian church.
It is stated that the mysterious Los Angeles man was convinced that the two railways are planning to extend their lines to Fullerton and his action in completing negotiations for the lease of the proposed hotel was based upon this belief.
The lot on Spadra street, where the hotel will be built, is a seventy-five foot one.
It is stated that when Chapman returns from Chicago the Los Angeles man will sign a five-year lease for the proposed hotel and will pay three years' rent in advance.
The negotiations were made through the agency of George Cline, a Fullerton real estate man.
The Los Angeles man, it is stated, is confident that the entry of the rail roads will result in great commercial strides for Fullerton.

A fussy old man went into a store and took a seat near the counter. Presently a clerk came up and inquired if anything was wanted. "No," replied the old man. After a lapse of time the proprietor arrived and approaching the stranger, asked what he could do for him. "Nothing at all," replied the man. "You see I am suffering from a serious attack of nervous prostration, and our family doctor ordered me to seek absolute quietude. Seeing that you do not advertise, I picked out your store as a real quiet place to come to."
