FAMOUS PLAYS AT NEW GRAND THEATRE DAMON AND PYTHIAS WILL BE SHOWN ON SCREEN NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT CROWDED HOUSES WITNESS THE SPLENDID PRODUCTIONS ALMOST EVERY DAY People of Anaheim had an opportunity a couple of years ago of witnessing a production of "Damon and Pythilas," presented by a local cast, but on Sunday night they will be privileged to see it on the screen, produced by a company of America's best photoplay actors. Manager Mozart of the New Grand, has secured this great picture and will present it Sunday night, Aug. 6. While the story of Damon and Pythias is staged in the days of Dionysius, four hundred years before the birth of the Christian era, it stands as the world's greatest story of friendship. Tonight the performance at the New Grand will be "The Notorious Gallagher, or his Great Triumph," presented by William Nigh, the author, assisted by Marguerite Snow, one of the most beautiful actresses on the movie stage. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will also present one of their great comedies. "The Suspect," a six-reel drama, is on the boards for Friday and Saturday nights, and Saturday matinee.

THE CANYON ROAD Tonight the performance at the New Grand will be "The Notorious Gallagher, or his Great Triumph," presented by William Nigh, the author, assisted by Marguerite Snow, one of the most beautiful actresses on the movie stage. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will also present one of their great comedies. "The Suspect," a six-reel drama, is on the boards for Friday and Saturday nights, and Saturday matinee. Miss Anita Stewart, one of the great favorites in photoplay, has the leading role. It is a six-reel Vitigraph production. A splendid comedy, "The Ring-leader," will also be presented at these three performances. Monday and Tuesday of next week the principal play will be "Shoes." The title does not suggest much, but it packed the houses in Los Angeles last week. It features Mary McLaren and an all-star cast, and presents the greatest sociological problem picture ever screened. Frank Daniels, the funny man, will also be shown in a comedy. Monday and Tuesday, and at Tuesday's matinee Manager Mozart presented the great moral play, "Where are My Children?" Last Friday and Saturday he presented "Cabiria," an historical drama, picturing Hannibal in his invasion of Rome, and Scipio Africanus' conquest of Carthagena. It was a spectacular play and drew large crowds. The Grand continues to be crowded to its full capacity almost every night. Mr. Mozart has acquired a reputation of putting on nothing but the best, consequently his customers know they will see something good at his house. The music also is excellent, and is appropriate to the pictures appearing on the screen. The Tuesday and Saturday matinees are proving great attractions, people from the country and neighboring towns coming in to attend them. REPRESETATIVE MANN'S WISE ACT Representative Mann, the republican leader of the House, has introduced a resolution asking for the appointment of a committee to look after the extravagant prices of white paper. This is a commendable resolution. It touches the interests of practically all Americans of adult age. It affects the fortune and prosperity of all business men who advertise—which is the weaker papers all over the country will be cruelly oppressed and injured, and many of them exterminated. THE CANYON ROAD That the Santa Ana canyon road at Sulphur Slide will be rebuilt permanently on the river side of the slide instead of on the south side of the hill is practically assured. The board of supervisors has received a report from Engineer H. Clay Kellogg in which the assurance is given that a retaining wall can be built that will guarantee the road from damage by the heaviest floods that time may bring down the Santa Ana river. Kellogg's report shows that it is but a short distance to bed rock. At no point, as shown by soundings made by Kellogg's men, is it more than twelve feet to solid rock. In some places it is only seven feet. In order to protect the road a wall of concrete 1200 feet long will have to be built. First, however, it is likely that a lot of giant powder will be used to blow off the dangerous portion of Sulphur Slide. The engineers say that as the slide now is, there is danger of the road being closed at any time by slides. There is little question but that the board of supervisors will vote in favor of rebuilding where the road now is. For a time it was proposed to change the route of the road in order to avoid the treacherous slide section. To make the detour would require a road of numerous turns and in places a six per cent grade. It is a change that the board will shun if it can be avoided. The report of Kellogg's soundings assures the board that a retaining wall can be built that will stay there till the crack of doom.

This is a commendable resolution. It touches the interests of practically all Americans of adult age. It affects the fortune and prosperity of all business men who advertise—which is to say all business men who are business men. It is of vital interest to the business of publishing, which has become one of the greatest American industries. It touches seriously the intelligence of the masses of the people, for most of whom the newspapers furnish their best means of education, and for all of whom the newspapers furnish their most important source of information. The price of paper has almost doubled in the past few months. The extortionate prices are so oppressive that papers in certain sections are raising their rates to readers and advertisers, while many of the lesser ones are being absolutely forced out of business. There is apparently no reason whatever for the sudden and serious rise in the price of this important commodity. Paper dealers plead a scarcity of paper due to the difficulty of obtaining certain ingredients in its manufacture caused by the war. But the war's slight addition to the cost of making paper furnishes no adequate excuse for the extortionate prices exacted. The scarcity of paper of which the papermakers plead is an artificial scarcity, created solely in order to enable these paper producers to make their prices extortionate. The stronger papers will, of course, meet this extortion and survive. But soundings assures the board that a retaining wall can be built that will stay there till the crack of doom. BILLIONS OF ORANGES The following interesting figures on per capita consumption of orange and lemon shipments from California is announced by General Manager G. Harold Powell of the California Fruit Growers Exchange: During the last two or three naval seasons the number of California oranges shipped from the state has varied from 1,485,000,000 to 1,782,000,000. This is equal to 15 oranges per capita for all people during the naval season. Including Florida oranges and imports from Porto Rico and other countries, the per capita consumption during this period is 30 oranges. Expressed in another way, this equals a consumption of two dozen oranges per family of five per month. On Valencias they vary from 594,000,000 to 891,000,000 or seven per capita during the Valencia orange season. Expressed in another way, this equals a half dozen per family per month. There were about 800,000,000 lemons shipped from the state during the year. This equals eight lemons per capita in a 12 months' period. Including imported lemons, the per capita consumption is approximately a half dozen per family per month.

Take, for example, the appropriation of $11,000,000 for a government armor plant. The monstrous nature of the proposal may be left without comment. It means a monopoly that will abolish the private manufacturer, that will necessarily be measured by peace needs, and that will be fatally inadequate for war needs. But let that pass. The demands of the Socialist must of course be gratified. But the government armor plant will be unlike all other plants. It will be unlike anything on earth into which the breath of intelligence has entered. Congress has specially enacted that the chartered accountant shall be warned off the premises, that there shall be no itemized estimates of cost, and that no steps shall be taken to ascertain the tonnage expenditures. Congress has not merely failed to say that these things shall be done. It has specifically said that they shall not be done. The electorate is not to be told what government armor plates cost. No one is to be told. No one is even to know. Another example of the same kind was furnished by the Sixty-third congress, which forbade the use of any time-measuring device, the study of the movements of any employee, or the payment of any bonus for efficiency in any government factory. No steps must be taken to economize time or to identify those who are wasting time. In fact it is an offense under the law to take any such steps, or to adopt those ordinary methods of efficiency that are in force in every private concern that wishes to avoid bankruptcy. Now if these absurdities had been perpetrated in China we should have an indulgent smile for Oriental topsy-turveydom. But they are done in America, and the story of them is embalmed and buried in the Congressional Record. Therefore it may be said that if the Congressional Record could but be popularized, it, too, would produce a smile, but it would not be an indulgent smile.

Hilderbrandt, the aged resident of North Los Angeles street, who attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head with a shotgun, died from his wounds at the sanitarium Wednesday evening. The left side of Mr. Hilderbrandt's face was entirely blown away, his nose torn off and one eye blown from the socket, but he lived a week before succumbing to the terrible injuries. The funeral was held Friday at 10 o'clock at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlor, Rev. H. D. Schmelzer of the Lutheran church, conducting the services. Mr. Hilderbrandt left an estate valued at probably $20,000, but he has no known relatives in this country.

Evans of this city and H. Seaman of Santa Ana, collided head on Thursday afternoon on North Los Angeles street. Evans was driving north on Los Angeles street and Seaman was going south. At the Cypress street crossing Seaman slowed down to pass an auto with a trailer going west. Evans in trying to dodge the car on the cross street, swung over to the left of Los Angeles street, and the cars traveling north and south came together. Both cars were traveling slow, and none of the occupants of either car was unseated. The lamps on the Seaman machine were broken. ADVISORY COMMITTEE THROWN INTO DISCARD Early last spring, with considerable pomp and ceremony, the announcement was made from the office of the State Commission Market, of the appointment of an advisory committee by the market director. The appointment of an advisory committee by State Market Director Weinstock, was an obviously proper thing to do, and what might be termed orderly procedure in a case of this sort, because the Market Director was not technically experienced in any of the lines under his supervision, and as there are so many distinct branches of industry coming under the jurisdiction of this office. The State Commission Market, under the guidance of Mr. Weinstock, is besides more in need of an advisory committee than would otherwise be the case, as the operations of the office are being conducted along lines so very much broader than the law itself as written and enacted contemplates. Colonel Weinstock, accordingly, appointed an advisory committee, and selected for this advisory com- Now if these absurdities had been perpetrated in China we should have an indulgent smile for Oriental topsy-turveyedom. But they are done in America, and the story of them is embalmed and buried in the Congressional Record. Therefore it may be said that if the Congressional Record could but be popularized, it, too, would produce a smile, but it would not be an indulgent smile. At ten o'clock Sunday night a merry bunch of serenaders surrounded the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Nellesen at the corner of Charter and Olive streets, and made the night hideous with a variety of instruments of torture. After they had performed for nearly an hour some member of the household informed them that they were wasting their time as the recently married pair were not at home. Disappointed in one direction the revelers turned their attention elsewhere, serenading the Heying house and several others before disbanding. H. W. Braden and wife left Saturday on a three months' trip through the Rocky mountains. They will visit Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Northern California, traveling by auto and camping at nights. For the fourth time a demurrer has been sustained in the suit for $16,000 damages brought by F. B. Kern against City Marshal Kellenberger and Deputy Germann for alleged false arrest.

Evans in trying to dodge the car on the cross street, swung over to the left of Los Angeles street, and the cars travelling north and south came together. Both cars were traveling slow, and none of the occupants of either car was unseated. The lamps on the Seaman machine were broken and the fenders and frame bent. Evans' car was damaged to the extent of one front wheel being broken and other fenders bent. Attorney Leonard Evans and Miss Lizzle Yeorn drove over to Santa Ana Wednesday accompanied by Russell Evans and Miss Gladys Gunnett and were united in marriage by Justice of the Peace Cox. After the ceremony they left for San Diego, where they expected to spend a honeymoon of a few days. The groom has just completed a new residence in the Zeyn tract where the young couple expect to make their home. The bride was the popular bookkeeper in the First National bank, while the groom is a rising young attorney of this city. Both have numerous friends here who will extend congratulations and good wishes. F. C. and Howard Krause, Ross Phegley and Kloyd Keallher motored over to Randsburg, Saturday afternoon, returning Sunday evening. Keallher and the three Chamberlain boys have a tungsten mine in that region, and if the present price is maintained they expect to reap a fortune from it. FOR SALE—A surrey. Telephone 7R2 Anaheim. The State Commission Market, under the guidance of Mr. Weinstock, is besides more in need of an advisory committee than would otherwise be the case, as the operations of the office are being conducted along lines so very much broader than the law itself as written and enacted contemplates. Colonel Weinstock, accordingly, appointed an advisory committee, and selected for this advisory committee gentlemen representing a variety of lines, interests and factors coming under the work of directing the marketing of products in California, as being developed by Mr. Weinstock, through his idea of this work. At the time of the appointment of the advisory committee there were two criticisms, one rather minor and the other material. The lesser one was that the representation on the committee was too largely in one direction. The more material criticism, however, was the fact that the State Commission Market Director appointed his advisory committee after he had largely promulgated his course of action and published his lines of procedure rather definitely and positively, so far as the fruit interests are concerned. It seemed a little out of the usual to appoint an advisory committee after the reason for advice seemed to have been largely past. However, there was much more that could be done, of course, both in developing the plans already announced by the Market Director which experience might indicate as satisfactory, and in changing and remodeling those plans which were found to be impracticable or counseling their abandonment. The outcome and history of the advisory committee, however, indicate that its name was a misnomer and New Grand Anaheim Under Auspices of Anaheim Lodge, No. 105, Knights of Pythias SUNDAY Night, Aug. 6 Stirring Story of Human Friendship Story of Man.

The committee was not to be an advisory committee, apparently, and the committee itself found that out. As a matter of fact and history, the Commission Market Director's advisory committee held but one meeting, which was its initial gathering after appointment, and has not been called to meet since. The advisory committees from what leaks out from its solitary meeting, apparently came to the opinion at that meeting that it was not intended to give advice, but that its principal function was to endorse the ideas already put out by the Market Director, or such as might be promulgated in the future. The committee, if some of the speeches made during its solitary session are correctly reported, did not apparently take kindly to being merely a means of endorsing and giving the stamp of approval, through the standing of its members with the public, to plans which it had little voice in making. In fact, it seems that the advisory committee and its various members disagreed with most everything that the office which it was presumed to advise had done or proposed doing, and so stated. Accordingly, it is not perhaps a matter of wonderment that the committee has not been called to meet again. Therefore, it seems, the prominent gentlemen in the various lines of fruit growing and marketing, whose names were printed some months ago as constituting a dignified and able advisory committee to the State Commission Market Director, under his appointment, gave advice, but not of a desirable character, and the committee's usefulness seems to have begun and ended with its one and only meeting. Alexander Gardiner, one of the oldest residents of this section, died at his home on Orangethorpe avenue Monday morning.
