"Something to Think About," is the name of the play at the Fairyland tonight. Never was a picture more truly titled. One of the finest vital documents of real life the screen has ever known. A drama that is tense, a story teeming with events drawn from human life told clearly, swiftly and impressively in an absorbing manner. An attraction as different from all that DeMille has done before as his "Why Change Your Wife?" was different from the first screen drama. Luxury, beauty, fashion, allurement, as only DeMille knows how. But something more! With Gloria Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Theodore Roberts, and Monte Blue. This picture played fullerton City Trustees have agreed with Park Superintendent Seupelt that gold fish may be turned into real gold. Heretofore they were of the opinion that just because the many hundreds of these fish in the city park on West Comonwealth, glittered they were not gold. But Mr. Seupelt convinced them they were really made of that elusive substance. During the past week the city cleaned out its aquarium in the park and sold several dozen of its gold fish at prices ranging up to $1 each. Over $25 was realized from the fish sold and some 600 were returned to their park home. The city has found that the little sunken garden at the park may turn into a gold mine. It cost about $100 to construct and many times this sum will be realized from the sale of water plants and gold fish.

An inquest was held at Anaheim Friday afternoon over the body of Felix Diaz, 20, of Westminster, who died Thursday night in a hospital at Anaheim from gunshot wounds suffered while he was hunting with a companion near Stanton at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. According to the story available, Diaz and Ramon Sepeda, 17, also of Westminster, were hunting along the GardenGrove boulevard. Diaz alone had a gun. When the two stopped to rest he handed the gun to Sepeda in order to have his hands free to hold a newspaper, which he was reading. Sepeda took the gun, which was loaded, and according to his story, started to put it over his shoulder in military fashion. In some way the hammer was caught and the gun was discharged. The entire charge from the weapon struck Diaz in the stomach. William Tidball, who was delivering groceries near by Scott and company of Garden... WHEN will that much-talked-of decline in prices reach us?" is a question on the lips of almost every person these days. There is a substantial drop in the price of goods in our store right now. Our prices have been marked down. This does not mean that we have made a cut on an accumulation of old style goods, but the price of everything in the store is lowered. We handle Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes, Stetson hats and Florsheim shoes, and the buying public knows these goods have no superior, therefore when we mark down our prices on these goods we are offering you the best in the market at a reduced price. "By All Means Get a Fit" F.A. YUNGBLUTH Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes A formal protest against annexing the Centralla school district to the Anaheim Union High school district was filed in the county clerk's o ce Monday. The protest was addressed to the board of supervisors. The supervisors made an order November 23, last, annexing the elementary school to the Anaheim Union High school district. The petition, which is signed by a majority of the electors of the Centralla district, urges the board of supervisors to rescind its action. It is understood that Centralla's action is taken under the state law passed by the legislature two years ago. A number of children living in Centralla district attend the Anaheim Union High school. In order to secure compensation for teaching those children, the high school district proceeded to secure the annexation of the common school district. With the protest that is now filed, if it proves sufficient, the annexation will be set aside. Thereafter Anaheim Union will determine what it costs per pupil to run its school. Centralla district will then be taxed to pay that amount for each pupil who goes to Anaheim Union from Centralla.

The Trahern Stock Company made their fourth appearance here last night at the Grand Theatre in the jolly farce-comedy 'Here Comes The Bride' which was recently released for stock after a long and successful run in New York. In spite of the threatening weather there was a large attendance which came near to being an overflow one. The play itself has a slender thread of a plot, which, however, is sufficient to become tangled with laughable complications to the extent of keeping the audience in an uproar during three very entertaining acts. If applause is any indication of appreciation then the hundreds of Trahern fans who filled the Grand last night enjoyed the show to their "heart's content." The Trahern production of "Here Comes the Bride" is under the stage algamated Oil Co. read and ordered filed.

The popular company all appeared to good advantage in the diversified and trickey parts which go to make the play the success it is. All the regular members of the other Trahern shows were in the cast, with the addition of Donald S. Hopkins, who, as Robert Sinclair, the excentric old step-father, came in for a big share of laughs.
