TRAHERN COMPANY HAS ANOTHER GOOD HOUSE "Charley's Aunt" Witnessed By a Large And Appreciative Audience "Charley's Aunt, From Brazil, Where The Nuts Come From," one of the oldest popular stock plays of this Country still continues to please and judging by the performance given by the Trahern Stock Company at the Grand Theater last night on their 5th lap of the Trahern Circuit has lost none of its popularity. "Charley's Aunt" is one of the few plays out of the thousands upon thousands of plays which have been produced that has withstood the test of time. Like a few others, such as "East Lynne," "Two Orphans" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin," it will grow older but will always stand out as a classic of its kind. The Trahern Stock Company, in "Charley's Aunt" added another success to its growing list. Earl Lee, appearing in the dual role of Lord Fancourt Babberly who, for convenience if his chums, impersonates his friend Charley's aunt kept the play at a white heat of fun and comic situations that kept the full house in a high good humor. Mr. Lee plays the part cleverly and shows the evidence of having played the role before, so easily it is acted. The popular Clinton Hodder was seen in another principal role, that of Jack Chesney, the handsome, lovemaking gallant whose efforts to extricate himself from the harmless but none the less humorous lie, land him in the arms of the girl heloves, Kitty Vaardan, which part is pleasingly played by Miss Grahame. Hopper Toller as Charles Wykem was refreshing, and Miss Gladys Appleman and Dorothy Cluer deserved better The Chamber of Commerce formally opened its new quarters on Los Angeles street Saturday, keeping open house where a welcome hand was extended to all visitors by Secretary Fraser. Nearly two hundred persons visited the place during the day and inspected the rooms. The place is easy of access now, being on the ground floor, and it is hoped that the townspeople, as well as the visitors to the city will get the habit of dropping in frequently. The genial secretary will make their visit pleasant. The sinister looking cloud that rolled in from the ocean shortly after noon Saturday, bringing with it an levy breath, reminded people from the middle west of the blue-black boiling mass that occasionally saunters up to a town in that region, gives it once over, then reaches down a funnel shaped finger and wipes the town off the map. Apparently this cloud carried with it no destructive wind, but at Fullerton it bombarded the inhabitants with ballstones. At Hollywood it covered the gardens with a mantle of snow and at Sierra Madre it unloosed a bolt of lightning which mussed up a street car. William Paschall and Mrs. Andrew Hunter were married at Long Beach some days ago and will reside in that city. Mr. Paschall is a nephew of Dr. Pashchall of this city and a cousin of Mrs. E. H. Adaris. Mrs. Hunter will be remembered as the lady whose husband died at the Adams residence in June, 1919. Mr. Hunter and family were traveling through when Mr. Hunter was suddenly taken ill and passed away at the home of Mr. Adams Death was attributed to Ptomaine poisoning, but for a time it was feared the cause was spinal meningitis.

A mystery story, "A Voice in the Dark," will be shown on the screen tonight and tomorrow night at the Grand. It is from the A. H. Woods stage success by Ralph E. Dyar supervised and directed by Frank Lloyd. In "A Voice in the Dark," a Goldwyn picture, an assistant district attorney is put in the trying position of having to prosecute a slayer when all the evidence indicates the culprit is the girl he is engaged to marry. It is one of the most remarkable mystery stories ever written for the screen. Four innocent persons are under suspicion, with the facts seeming to accuse each as strongly at the others. But a fifth person committed the crime the truth being revealed through a testimony of a blind cripple. Revealing an act of heroism resulting from a father's love for his children, it became known here that Mr. F. A. Nixon of Yorba Linda, is being confined in a hospital at Fullerton, suffering from excreulating burns resulting when a gasoline heater in the bathroom of his home exploded, emperiling his two young children. Although suffering agonies, Nixon it was learned today, rushed to the pantry, obtained a quantity of flour and with this succeeded in extinguishing the flames in the bathroom and saving the two lots from severe injury or possible death. As it was, one of the children was slightly burned. The explosion occurred Saturday night Nixon was assisting his wife in giving the two children a bath. The gasoline heater, declared to be the most dangerous contraptions possible to have in a home" had been lighted, water had been heated and the two kiddles were in the bath tub. Suddenly there was a deafening blast A sheet of flame shot from the heater. In an instant the room was all ablaze. Nearly blinded, Nixon snatched the two children from the tub to safety. Next he dashed to the pantry and groped his way to the flour bin. Obtaining a quantity of flour, he made his way back to the blazing bath room, and after working feverishly for a few minutes conquered the flames. Because at the time of the explosion, Mrs. Nixon was in another room, she escaped injury. At the M. E. Church Friday evening Miss Ruth, Boyd was united in marriage to Welcome Ward of Santa Ana, Rev. J. A. Gessinger performing the ceremony, in the presence of 150 invited guests.

Neither the oil that produced his fortune, nor his money, nor the way he spent it brought him luck or happiness. He spent the last fifty years of his life paying for the follies of his youth, in poverty and toll. John W. Steele, for that was his real name, was born on a farm near Sheakleyville, Pennsylvania, and, as he was orphaned in his youth, he went to live with his aunt, the Widow McClintock, in Venanga County, Pennsylvania. Oil was struck on the McClintock farm and the flow was leased on a royalty basis. The Widow McClintock knew farms but not oil and lived as she had lived, putting the money which rolled into a big safe in her dining room. One day when Johnny had failed to provide kindling she threw a dipper full of the fateful oil on the kitchen fire and her interest in earthly affairs ceased at once. Johnny was sole heir and when the big safe was opened he had over $500,000 in cash to play with. He ran through his find faster than the oil gushed from the wells. He practiced every form of extravagance. He even Steps are now being taken by the Farm Bureau Directors to establish a labor bureau department for the accommodation of the farmers of Orange county. James Smiley, Murray Horne and H. E. Wahlberg have been appointed to confer with the county authorities and the State Labor Commission will be approached for some assistance and the County Board of Supervisors. A competent labor man who understands the selection of men for various types of work will have charge of the department, according to the recommendations of the committee. Many of the large farmers have Wahlberg to ascertain their patronage in the event that a labor department were established. Practically every one emphasized the need of a local labor office that would select men judiciously and give free service to both employees and employer. The grain men and beet growers have been especially solicitous for this department, and have urged the Farm Bureau's co-operation. lived, putting the money which rolled in into a big safe in her dining room.

Johnny was sole heir and when the big safe was opened he had over $500,000 in cash to play with. He ran through his find faster than the oil gushed from the wells. He practiced every form of extravagance. He even declined to ride in any vehicle that he did not own and the country was studded with cabs which he had bought and given back to their drivers after he was through with them. He owned a minstrel show and spent thousands of dollars entertaining the members of the company. But he did not have a good time. He admitted it himself. In one instance he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to have the hotel clerk discharged and after his money was gone the hotel clerk got his job back. When his oil ran out, his money ran out too and he spent the remainder of his life in hard, grinding toll, paying for the "fun" he had not had. Coal Oil Johnny's motto was: "The only use for money is to spend it." But the motto lasted no longer than the money for after the brief splurgge he could not get it to spend. The best use for money is to save and invest it. Had he put even a part of his fortune or salary into sound government securities he would have assured himself a future free from toll and the scorn of those with whom he associated. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Calkins are enjoying a visit from an old friend, Frank Lawler of Michigan.
