"The Eyes of the World" Commingles romance, daring, intriguing comedy and pathos in wonderful gardens typify its sweetness as a leisurely mountain trails the rugged charm of red blooded scenes.

Clune was one of the producers, was first presented in America and subsequently ran for 23 weeks. In that house also "Ramona," the other Clune masterpiece in 12 reels ran for ten weeks to a total attendance of over 170,000 people. For six months past, the entire resources of the Clune studio in Los Angeles have been centered on the elaborate filming of Wright's story. It is promised for this work that it is the finest translation of a current popular romance ever prepared for a theatre. It is in ten sections and consumes an entire afternoon or evening in its showing. The scenario for the work was prepared by the noted author himself, who has also given his personal assistance for several weeks past in the day-by-day work of interpreting his characters for the screen. "THE EYES OF THE WORLD" TO HAVE ITS INITIAL SHOWING HERE NEXT WEDNESDAY ANAHEIM CRITICS WILL BE PERMITTED TO SEE ITS FIRST PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC Manager Mozart of the Grand theatre has scored a triumph. He has procured for his theatre one of the greatest stories in filmdom, "The Eyes of the World," taken from Harold Bell Wright's famous California novel. It was the intention of the producers to give this great picture its initial showing at Clune's auditorium in Los Angeles, but they decided to present it to the public first in Anaheim. It will be seen at the Grand next Wednesday and Thursday nights. Two or three years ago Harold Bell Wright, the most popular of living writers, whose eight romances, including "The Shepherd of the Hills," and "The Winning of Barbara Worth," have had a total sale of nearly eight million copies, added to his galaxy of best sellers "The Eyes of the World." This story, whose scenes are laid in "Fairlands, Cal.", has been popularly believed to be a story of Redlands and the mountains of Southern California. "The Eyes of the World" has been put into elaborate pictorial form for the theatre by the Clune Film Producing company, and the announcement is now made that because of bookings at the Auditorium theatre in Los Angeles this production of Wright's California story will be shown in this city before its presentation in Los Angeles, as first proposed. It will be presented at the New Grand theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 22 and 23. Meanwhile Los Angelans who have been eagerly awaiting the premiere of "The Eyes of the World" must bear themselves in patience. If "The Eyes of the World" had charm for so many thousands of Americans between book covers, it ought to have more for the public in its visualized form, if that form does justice to the original tale. On this score it is promised that the scenes, incidents and people of the stirring romance are made doubly graphic and interesting as they move before the spectator. Wright's novel contains much of the kind of material out of which successful motion pictures are made and it is promised that the photographs which form the background of the film version made a magnificent panorama of the outdoor glories of Southern California. Mr. Wright has considerably amplified "The Eyes of the World" for this production. The characters now run through two generations. Among the well remembered people of the story are the convict, the forest ranger, Sybil, the mountain girl; Mrs. Taine, the fashionable siren, who attempts to snare the artist, King; Mr. Taine, the roue who is wrecked by his own excesses; Rutlidge, the bull-necked art critic; Myra Willard, the scarred victim of the vitrol thrower, and Lagrange, the cynical author-friend of the artist. The fight on the cliff between King and Rutlidge, which is the major climax of the story, was filmed at Skyland Heights, and is said to be the ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, Nov. 16 GRAND THursday & Thursday Nov. 22 y---8 p.m.; Matinee Thursday 2:30 p.m. Prices, E All Seats Reserved; on sale Anaheim Music Co Nights at Theater Eyes of the V Bell Wright Mr. Wright's tale of the San Bernardin mountains has fascinated me Bell Wright which has been read by moreicans, reproduced in a mag-entertainment by specialAmerica's most popular author. ing, cost a fortune in money EYES OF WORLD" daring, intrigue, chivalry, wonderful degree.

They were confronted in the beginning with discrepancies in three precincts. In Santa Ana No. 17 the tally sheets showed that the board had recorded 374 votes cast for assembly-man and 337 on the prohibition amendments, whereas there were only 314 votes cast in the precinct. This registered voters in the precinct. This was finally straightened out by the election board, and Joe Burke's vote was reduced from 259, which the obliging tally clerks had given him, to 179. It still left him 64 votes ahead of Simon. The dry vote also was cut to correspond to the total vote cast. BROADWAY SCHOOL GIVES A RECITAL Little Folks Entertain Parent Teachers' Association Tuesday Those who attended the Parent-Teachers' association Tuesday afternoon had a very enjoyable time. The pupils of the Broadway school gave the following program: Song—"Mischievous Brownies," Miss Graves' Room. Piano Solo ... Florinda Viasco Song—"Winken, Blynken and Nod," Mrs. Garrison's Room. Recitation—"Greeting Two Little Puritans," Miss Grimshaw's Room. Song—"The Leaves had a Party," Mrs. Burgess' Room. Song—"Baby's Boat's a Silver Moon," Miss Clabaugh's Room. Story of the Little Gray Pigeon, Arthur Dickinson. Concert Recitation—"The Shut-Eye Train," Miss Clabaugh's Room. Three Songs—"Humpty Dumpty," "Jack and Jill," and "Hickory, Dickory Dock," Miss Shive's Room. The pictures were won for the month by Miss Nixon at Fremont, Miss Clabaugh at Broadway and Miss Schmidt and Miss Livingston in the Central school. Over in a desert precinct the board of supervisors had established the polling place in a private residence, and the ballot box and ballots were left there. When the members of the election board arrived they decided to change the polling place to a school house, but the lady of the house took possession of the box and the ballots and guarded them through the day. There was no election in that precinct that day. Conrad Lagrange in "The Eyes of the World" Maurice Ray, the Brea merchant, had a narrow escape from death Wednesday when his car jumped over an embankment on the Stearns lease. Ray jumped as the car went over, thus probably saving his life. This registered voters in the precinct. This was finally straightened out by the election board, and Joe Burke's vote was reduced from 259, which the obliging tally clerks had given him, to 179. It still left him 64 votes ahead of Simon. The dry vote also was cut to correspond to the total vote cast. In Orangethorpe precinct the tally sheets had been sealed up with the ballots and under the law the envelopes can only be opened in court in case of a contest. The election officials were summoned and presented figures to which they made affidavits, which were accepted as official. In Magnolia the tally sheet did not give the total vote cast, but a supplementary sheet was found which gave the total. Straightening out these errors occupied so much time that the board only succeeded in canvassing the vote on the republican and democratic electors up to yesterday morning. According to the canvass the first man on the republican ticket received 10,487 votes and the leading democrat 6393. The others ran pretty even, about fifteen votes below the leaders on each ticket, but one peculiarity of the count is that the two tail-enders fell short. The last man on the republican ticket was eight votes below the man who preceded him, while the last democrat was nine votes short. Mercer county, New Jersey, the home of President Wilson, cast 15,001 votes last Tuesday, and gave Hughes a plurality of 3639. O. R. Nation, the Keystone Type Foundry man, made his periodical trip to Anaheim last week.

A NOTABLE MEETING OF ORANGE GROWERS The annual meeting of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Grower's association held at the company's packing house in this city Thursday, was the largest and most successful gathering ever held by an individual association in Orange county. Seven hundred people were present, and six speakers from the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and from the Riverside Experiment station delivered interesting and instructive addresses. Complete reports of the meeting are printed in this issue of the Gazette, including Manager Sandilands' annual report and some of the more important speeches. We call the attention of all orange growers to these addresses as they contain valuable information, also recommend them to read Mr. Sandilands' report, which shows the wonderful growth of the association, and proves the value THE CIRCUS IS COMING The small lad's heart leaps with glee. And just where youth stops and old age begins is a pretty hard question to settle when one word is mentioned—Circus. That's the magic word, and really and truly now, doesn't that word send a chorus of happy thoughts and memories chasing through your mind? And why shouldn't it? There's no more time honored amusement than the circus; no entertainment more instructive, none that's cleaner. Who doesn't enjoy watching the cages and animals unloaded and hauled to the show grounds, the hustle and bustle incident to getting things ready for the show, and the street parade with the tooting band and steam "planner," the "dolled-up" show girls and the clowns that guy the folks along the route. You betcher, its fun, and I expect that you-all and we-all will be there. The Al. G.

Slocum of Los Angeles representing the Safe Cabinet company, was in town Saturday on a business trip. Preliminary work on the North Lemon street extension paving is under way, and when the strip is completed will no doubt be much used by autoists, as the road will obviate the bend in the road on the county road, leading into North Los Angeles street. Will give more of a straight road into town, which is preferable, generally speaking. In time no doubt Palm street will also be paved, thereby diverting travel to that thoroughfare, as it would afford a straight line into Fullerton. Los Angeles street, at times, becomes greatly congested with motor vehicles, and by paving these streets to the west will naturally turn travel in that direction, and coming into the business section from the west. Miss Frances Schmidt entertained a number of her high school friends at her home on Alberta street Saturday evening. Games were played during the evening, and a delightful time was had by all. Dainty refreshments were served and at a late hour the party dispersed to their homes. Manager Joseph Hatfield of the Anaheim Skating Rink announces a program of fun to be held at the rink next Friday evening. There will be fancy skating and a rabbit chase on skates, Joe saying anyone "catching a rabbit it's your." Music is furnished during skating hours, and good order is always maintained.
