THRILLING PLAYS WITNESSED BY THOUSANDS CROWDED HOUSES ENJOY THE BEST PHOTOPLAYS ON THE SCREEN AT THE NEW GRAND MATINEE EVERY TUESDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT 2:30 O'CLOCK Hereafter the New Grand will give three matinees a week—on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 2:30 o'clock. When the theatre first opened Manager Mozart gave only the Saturday matinee, but it proved so popular, especially with the ladies and children, that he extended it to Tuesdays, and now he is giving a Sunday afternoon show also. Somes plendid plays have been seen at the New Grand during the past week, and the program for this week is equally as good. Friday and Saturday of last week "The Secret of the Swamp," with Myrtle Gonzales as the star, was presented to full houses, and the second installment of "Liberty" was shown. This is a serial and two reels will be given each Friday and Saturday night and Saturday matinee, through a wonderful drama of forty reels. It depicts the thrilling adventures of a plucky American girl in these troubles on the Mexican border, and judging from the four reels already presented she is certainly staged for some hair-raising escapades. ORRIN JOHNSON in "The Light at Dusk" dramas ever screened. It is virile, fascinating, unusual in text and form, and especially beautiful in sentiment and story. We offer it with the full assurance that no one can help feeling better and finer for a view of it. You are invited to confirm by it every statement made herein." Hundreds of people were turned away not being able to gain admittance to see this picture at one of Los Angeles' leading theatres last week, and their price of admission was just double that of the New Grand. Next Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 25 and 26 will be presented "The Fall of a Nation," a sequel to Thomas Dixon's story, "The Birth of a Nation." It tells a vital story of international significance. A confederation of European powers decides to seize North America and annex it to Europe. A secret army of the foreign-born is raised in New York. As the greatest city of the North American States has few armed defenders, it is an easy task to capture it overnight. Meanwhile 150,000 trained troops, fresh from the European wars, star, was presented to full houses, and the second installment of "Liberty" was shown. This is a serial and two reels will be given each Friday and Saturday night and Saturday matinee, through a wonderful drama of forty reels. It depicts the thrilling adventures of a plucky American girl in these troublous days on the Mexican border, and judging from the four reels already presented she is certainly staged for some hair-raising escapades. One of the reels last week depicted in a realistic manner the sacking and burning of Columbus, although the name of the town given on the screen was Discovery, which is the other name for Columbus. The story is full of thrills and excitement and if it ever becomes necessary to recruit the army for service in Mexico, all able bodied young men should be taken to see it. They would all enlist and go down to assist the brave American girl in her struggle against the Mexican bandits. "The Daughter of the Don" was presented Monday and Tuesday to full houses, and proved to be worthy of all the praise that has been given it. This story was of particular interest to people of this region, as the scenes were laid in Southern California at a time when this territory was severing its connection with Mexico. The story is full of thrills. It was taken from the book of the same name written by Winfield Hogaboom, a former newspaperman of Fullerton. Tonight Lionel Barrymore in "The Quitter," will be shown. It is a story of Paradise Gulch mining camp. The boys decided that a woman was needed in the camp and one of the number must marry. The lot fell to Happy Jack (Mr. Barrymore) who forthwith advertised for a blonde wife. He discovered that advertising brought results. Max Figman and Lolita Robertson will appear in "The Microbes," a comedy. "Bettina Loved a Soldier," is the name of the play for Friday and Saturday night, with Louise Lovely, Rupert Julian and Francelia Billington in the leading parts. Two more reels of "Liberty" will be presented both nights and Saturday afternoon. Next Sunday, matinee and night one of the most beautiful 6-reel photodramas ever shown on a screen, is listed. "Light Before Dusk" is the name, and Orrin Johnson is the leading character. Speaking of this play Manager Mozart says: Break the Record:— What is believed to have been the heaviest day's bean threshing ever done in Orange county was accomplished Tuesday on the John Le Bard ranch on the San Joaquin by William Wilson. In a few minutes less than eleven hours Wilson and his men threshed 2346 sacks of lima beans. Work started at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and was completed a few minutes before 10:30 o'clock that night, about an hour having been taken out for meals. The crop ran heavy on the section from which the beans were taken, yielding in the neighborhood of twenty one sacks per acre. Le Bard had 195 acres in beans and this yielded 3951 sacks, which is expected to be close to the record for the bean count of a Nation," a sequel to Thomas Dixon's story, "The Birth of a Nation." It tells a vital story of international significance. A confederation of European powers decides to seize North America and annex it to Europe. A secret army of the foreign-born is raised in New York. As the greatest city of the North American States has few armed defenders, it is an easy task to capture it overnight. Meanwhile 150,000 trained troops, fresh from the European wars, are rapidly transported across the Atlantic with all their equipment of great guns, poison gases, liquid fire and bombs. Effecting a landing, they easily vanquish the small North American army, join the foreign-born conquerors of New York, and march to Washington where they depose the President and put in his place the "Imperial Viceroy of the Provinces of North America." While the locale of the story is in and near New York, its momentous lesson applies to any country unprepared to meet the foreign foe. At the end of the present war there will be millions of idle troops in Europe. What new task will be set for them? Will covetous eyes be cast on the riches of the continents discovered by Columbus? Will some emperor—like Napoleon III, who sent the French invaders into Mexico—attempt to seize a fair and wealthy portion of the New Hemisphere? Then—unless the country attacked is ready and well prepared—history will record a real tragic "Fall of a Nation." It is against this terrible danger that Thomas Dixon, the author of the spectacle, provides an awful warning.

Two more reels of "Liberty" will be presented both nights and Saturday afternoon. Next Sunday, matinee and night one of the most beautiful 6-reel photodramas ever shown on a screen, is listed. "Light Before Dusk" is the name, and Orrin Johnson is the leading character. Speaking of this play Manager Mozart says: "It is the policy of the New Grand to show only the very best in photodramas. This theatre makes no bid to sensationalists, to scandal mongers, to the purient or to those seeking merely cheap sensation of any sort. It seeks diligently to prove worthy of the very best people; of those who believe in photodrama in its finest form, and who delight in real plays presented in high-class fashion. "This theatre has frequently turned down offers of photoplays that undoubtedly would have been big money makers; that have been big money makers for others. But there were reasons, in accordance with the above outlined policy, that prevented their showing here. This rule will be rigidly adhered to under any and all circumstances. You can always send your wives, sweethearts, daughters and children here with perfect assurance of their safety, physically and morally. "When you see a picture announced at the New Grand you may thus know at once that it is the very highest class, the best obtainable; free from taint of any sort, and never guilty of perverting the most tender mind, or offending the most discriminating taste. "We believe that for next Sunday we have secured one of the best, most interesting and most edifying photo- threshed 2346 sacks of lima beans. Work started at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and was completed a few minutes before 10:30 o'clock that night, about an hour having been taken out for meals. The crop ran heavy on the section from which the beans were taken, yielding in the neighborhood of twenty one sacks per acre. Le Bard had 195 acres in beans and this yielded 3951 sacks, which is expected to be close to the record for the bean country this year. Because of the heavy fogs which have come up every night this week threshing has been stopped about 10 o'clock each evening, which has given the men in the fields time for rest, but reports from the warehouses are that the men are working night and day to keep the beans moving, but even with the extra hours being put in the rate at which the crop is being received threatens to swamp the warehouses. CARD OF THANKS We, the undersigned, desire to express our heartfelt thanks to the many friends who rendered us such generous assistance during the illness and burial of our wife and mother. Also for the many words of sympathy, and for the beautiful floral offerings. These kindnesses will always be greatly remembered. L.

The time is not far distant, for the monthly report of the commission filed last week, shows that on September 1 there was $2389.87 left in the fund. The money that has been spent in the last two months has gone mostly to surfacing. Harold Walberg, the concert violinist and teacher, member of the faculty of the University of Southern California has resumed his teaching in the U. S. C. studio in the Central Bldg., Anaheim. Mr. Walberg closed last season, two months ago, with a much appreciated lecture recital before the Anaheim Ebell. Herman Neipp a former resident of this city son of Mrs. Michael Neipp, appears to have made good since he moved to Blythe. To a Los Angeles newspaper man recently he said: "I came to Palo Verde Valley in 1909 from Ventura county with $650. Today I am worth $40,000. It we fellows have made money here without a railroad, others can come here with the railroad completed and do much better than we have done. I have never seen the equal of Palo Verde Valley as an alfalfa and stock country." Mr. Neipp was formerly an Anaheim butcher. He Scott is engaged in the real estate business and says he is prospering. He recently closed a million dollar lease in the Angelic burg, and is otherwise gathering in the shekels. Clarence Sackett returned Thursday from a five days' trip to Smith Mountain where he had a prospect located, and which he intended to further develop. Imagine his surprise upon arrival there to find that some one had "Jumped" his claim and had filed upon it. Mr. Sackett returned to this city and assumed his duties on the police force. He has yet five days vacation coming to his credit which he will enjoy later on. A distribution of $3,000,000 will be made by the state within a short time to the schools. Orange county's share of this is $54,540. Los Angeles county gets the largest slice, $614,110 and Alpine the smallest, $750. Of the other Southern counties San Bernardino receives $77,037.50, Riverside $50,030, San Diego $94,882.50, and Imperial $25,750. William Crowther strenuously objects to a statement emanating from Santa Ana and published in various papers to the effect that the walnut yield this year is larger than that of last season. He declares such a claim is excusable, as the crop will fall far short of last year's yield. Mr. Crowther is one of the pioneer walnut growers of this section, as well as one of the largest growers, and keeps himself well informed on the conditions of the crops. J. A. Fay, manager of the packing house, also says this season's crop is much lighter than that a year ago, but both he and Mr. Crowther agree that the quality is superior. Growers are expecting a good price for the nuts, as the importations will probably be cut short. A movement is on foot among the Elks of Anaheim and immediate vicinity to establish a lodge in this city. At present the members are affiliated with the Santa Ana organization. One of the laws of the Elks provides that no lodge can be instituted in a city with a population of less than 5000. The city trustees have been asked to take the census of Anaheim, at the expense of the local members, with a view of ascertaining the exact population of this city. Figures heretofore compiled place the number at 5500. State Horticultural and Vineculture Commissions. In northern California, notwithstanding the shortage in Napa and Sonoma counties, the crop will run from 60 to 65 per cent. Fresno will have a normal crop, while in the south the crop will run from 100 to 125 per cent of the normal. The growers are receiving about twice as much this year as last from their output. The prevailing price in the sweet wine districts is $15 per ton, and in the dry wine districts it is $125 per ton; both figures bieng double those of last year. The wineries are awaiting the determination of the procedure to be followed and directions from the U.S. Commissioner of Revenue in conformity with the new national revenue bill just passed by Congress. This act is quite favorable to California, and means a good deal for the industry. The firemen had the hose out for a test on Sunday morning, taking it to the municipal plant and giving it a pressure of 200 pounds. Each section was given the full amount and in every instance withstood the test, not a sign of a leak being found. At the Moran fire some months ago a section of the new hose exuded water like a sieve, but at the recent test no sign of a leak was discovered. This is accounted for from the fact that the hose was new. It has been demonstrated in some cases that new hose has a tendency to leak for some reason not explained. The members responding to Chief Goodrich's call for the Sunday's hose test were Frank Tausch, Richard Fischle, Herman Backs, Carl Pressel, Burleigh Goodrich, Jos. Clark, Fred Schneider, Frank Goodrich, Chas. Clark. Driver Mauerhan had charge of the engine. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Nowotny spent Sunday picnicking at the county park. IF YOU WANT a DRY man in Congress who will not only vote for Prohibition measures but who will also inaugurate and work for them; IF YOU WANT a successful business man in Congress, one who has made a conspicuous success and who can therefore protect and aid the various R. F. Stock of San Francisco is here on a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Stock. He is a civil engineer of the northern metropolis and is prospering. One evening last week he perpetrated quite a joke upon his father, through the connivance of some friends. The father and son came up town together and while conversing with friends, the father was prevailed upon to pay a visit to the Odd Fellows lodge. He did so reluctantly, not caring to lose the company of his son that evening, whom he had not seen in a couple of years. When once in the lodge room, and when the ritual of the fraternal order being exemplified, who should be admitted into the room but the son himself. The father was so surprised as to be almost speechless, as he was not aware of his son's becoming an Odd Fellow. The young man had joined the lodge in San Francisco two years previously and had ascended to the position of vice grand. He had previously informed his mother of his Odd Fellowship, but they kept the father in ignorance of that fact. Mr. Stock was agreeably surprised by the incident and believes all young men should join the Odd Fellows. Amended articles of incorporation filed with County Clerk Williams by attorneys for the Salt Lake Railroad Company, substantiate the story to the effect that the Salt Lake would extend its line to San Juan Capitano. The amended articles not only call for the extension of the line to the Mission Town, but also provide for changing the name of the road from the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company to the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company. The articles of incorporation were amended to provide only for the two changes above mentioned. The amendments were made at a recent meeting of the board of directors of the road held in Salt Lake City. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McCord were visiting Sunday with Mr. McCord's parents in Los Angeles. IF YOU WANT a DRY man in Congress who will not only vote for Prohibition measures but who will also inaugurate and work for them; IF YOU WANT a successful business man in Congress, one who has made a conspicuous success and who can therefore protect and aid the various business enterprises of the 11th District; IF YOU WANT a pioneer and leader in the citrus business in Congress, one who ships an average of two car loads of oranges and lemons every day the year around, and who therefore knows this business and its needs as no one else; IF YOU WANT a man in Congress who understands the ins and outs of tariff legislation, and one who fought and beat the railroads in court and out; IF YOU WANT the best man possible in Congress, VOTE FOR James S.

There are two prohibition bills, two highway bond measures, a single tax bill, and a bill making legislators ineligible to other offices. There is apparent enthusiasm for the proposition to prevent members of the legislature from holding other offices. The representatives of the people are the supreme law-making power, second only to the people themselves, but more active. The temptation of legislature men to get jobs out of their activities in the general assembly is great, and many fall. They either accept positions on boards and commissions and in departments, or they get up new schemes to give this opportunity. Both practices destroy the independence of the legislative department of the government, and both practices heap up higher taxes. Voters of all parties will be safe in adding this safeguard to the constitution, which is already the law of most western states. Another record breaking real estate deal for this time of year, involving property at Los Angeles and Anaheim, valued at $27,000, has just been closed. The principals are C. Michelini of Fullerton and Miss Florence Wilson of Anaheim, the former having traded his building at the southeast corner of Third and Boyle streets, Los Angeles, for a thirteen and a half acre ranch owned by Miss Wilson. The ranch, three miles east of Anaheim, is improved and is occupied by a house, barn and pumping plant. Some cash was involved, according to O. E. Van Slyke of Los Angeles, through whom the trade was made. FOR SALE—Fine grapes for eating and jelly. Corner South and East streets. F. A. Altnow.
