The sale was completed Saturday, and Southern Service Company officials took charge today. G. M. Theodore, Nicholas Theodore and George Theodore, sole owners and managers of the Anaheim Laundry Company for more than 13 years, have sold their plant. Theodore Brothers bought on December 2, 1912, what was then called the Anaheim Steam Laundry from J. E. Fisher. Mr. Fisher had bought this plant the previous year from Heineman Bros. Theodore Brothers from the beginning endeavored to turn out the highest quality of work and serve the people the best they knew how. In 1913 the Anaheim Steam Laundry occupied the old plant at 408 South Lemon street, which is 30x60 feet. Almost immediately plans were made for more room. As the business improved the plant was enlarged until it occupied all of the lot, which is 40x140 feet. In 1921, Theodore Brothers saw that Anaheim was going straight ahead and decided to put up the best plan that could be had. Hard work and planning were able to accomplish a passage of the bill. Among those from Orange county who are expected to go to Sacramento at this time are C. E. Lee of Placentia, secretary of the Unincorporated Towns Association; A. M. Stanley, manager of the Orange County Farm Bureau, and Secretary T. E. Pickerill of the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce. PRESIDENT'S SPEECH WILL BE HEARD BY MILLIONS The greatest radio "hook-up" the world has ever known will be accomplished on the fourth day of March, at which time the address of President Coolidge will be broadcast from practically every sending station throughout the United States; so for the first time in the history of any nation millions of people will be able to hear the inaugural address of a nation's head. This hook-up as the radio people call it, has been made possible by the earnest co-operation of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, who will pick up the speech and send it to all parts of the nation. It has been suggested by a close friend of the President that as this occasion is one in which every man woman and child is interested, that wherever possible in schools, clubs, hospitals and other places, that the speech be broadcasted to such as may desire to hear it. It would, no doubt, be an object lesson, as well as a patriotic and instructive idea, to have someone in each community provide the schools with a radio, equipped with a loud speaker, for use during the time that President Coolidge is speaking in Washington. As a matter of patriotism, it would, no doubt, be well to have the parents of the children present in the school rooms during the time that the speech is being broadcasted. Should this suggestion be adopted it would mean the Anaheim Steam Laundry occupied the old plant at 408 South Lemon street, which is 30x60 feet. Almost immediately plans were made for more room. As the business improved the plant was enlarged until it occupied all of the lot, which is 40x140 feet. In 1921, Theodore Brothers saw that Anaheim was going straight ahead and decided to put up the best plan that could be had. Hard work and planning were able to accomplish and equip one of the best laundries in the state, the present Anaheim Laundry, which occupies approximately 20,000 square feet including the old plant, which is used for power plant, water storage, wet wash department and garage. The anaheim Laundry has built a reputation throughout the country through its policy of turning out only first-class work. These same policies will be carried on under the Southern Service Company management. J. A. Landale, who has been manager of the Nu-Way Laundry at Orange, operated by the Southern Service Company, will be manager of the Anaheim Laundry. He announced this morning that he was pleased with the prospects for the future, that all employees of the Anaheim Laundry would be retained, and businesses would be conducted in the same manner. All employees will be residents of Anaheim. The Theodore Brothers all intend to remain in Anaheim and will continue their connections with the Anaheim Laundry for the present, but they have no definite plans for the future. The Southern Service Company was formed six years ago by a merger of a dozen of the oldest and best-established laundries in Southern California. Since that time, many other plants have been merged with the company, which now operates 22 modern laundries throughout Southern California. The officers and directors of this company include many of the best known and most successful laundry owners in Southern California. Every one of them are men who started at the bottom of the ladder and have grown with the industry and through personal thrift. They have always pursued a policy of giving the public every advantage possible, including moderate prices due to their ability to buy supplies more cheaply. They have investigated methods in laundering. Mother!

The officers and directors of this company include many of the best known and most successful laundry owners in Southern California. Every one of them are men who started at the bottom of the ladder and have grown with the industry and through personal thrift. They have always pursued a policy of giving the public every advantage possible, including moderate prices due to their ability to buy supplies more cheaply. They have investigated methods in laundries in all parts of the country, held weekly conferences and made many experiments, with the aim to giving the public the best laundry service possible. There are 400 or 500 stockholders of the Southern Service Company living in every city in which one of its laundries is operated. The new management announced that it was anxious to continue the "open house" policy started by the Theodore Brothers and is very desirous of having anyone visit the plant at any time. HARTRANFT'S BILL A draft of Assembly Bill No. 669, which has been introduced in the state legislature by S. C. Hartranft, has been received here. Practically the only changes made in the proposed law over the old law are the omitting of the exclusion of ranch property from the proposed incorporation boundary, and making a two-thirds vote necessary for incorporation, instead of a majority as formerly. When the bill comes up for hearing sometime after the opening of the second session of the legislature, plans are being made to send representatives from the Unincorporated Towns Association, Farm Bureau and other organizations to plead for the LIKE NEW Right now is the time to examine wardrobes and prepare for warmer spring days. Let us call for garments which yet have many days of useful wear. A bit of repairing, cleaning, pressing, and maybe dyeing will make them look like new. PARIS Cleaners and Dyers 123 N.

ANAHEIM FALKENST ALL-STAR CAST IN "GARDEN OF WEEDS" One of the finest casts ever seen in pictures appears in James Cruze's latest production for Paramount, "The Garden of Weeds," which will be the feature at the California theatre for tomorrow and Saturday. Betty compson, whose recent dramatic successes have won her new plaudits, is starred. The story affords Miss Compson a marvelous opportunity for the display of her dramatic ability. Warner Baxter, who supported Miss Compson in "The Female," comes back to Paramount for a featured role with her in "The Garden of Weeds." He is featured with Rockcliffe Fellowes, Charles Ogle and Al St. John, all sterling actors chosen for their ability to portray the characters depicted in the play. The supporting cast includes Lilyan Tashman, who was the hit of the New York stage play from which the photo-play was adapted. Others are King Zany, writer of songs and vaudeville actor; William Austin, Lucille Thorndike, William Turner and Toyo Fujita, who was with Sessue Hayakawa for many years. Walter Woods and Anthony Coldewey adapted "The Garden of Weeds" for the screen from the stage play by Leon Gordon and Doris Marquette. It's an appealing love drama which brings audiences "back stage" at the theatre. "NORTH OF 36" PROVES TRUE SCREEN PLAY OF PIONEER DAYS "North of 36," by Emerson Hough, depicting all the thrills and hardships of pioneer days on the Texas cattle ranges, has been filmed for Paramount by Irvin Willat, who made the natural-color picture, "Wanderer of the Wasteland" and other classics. "North of 36" is a tale of the Texas cattle trail, picturing a country wild, almost lawless, at the period of the story, roughened and disheartened by the recent Civil War. Lois Wilson, as Tasie Lockhart, manager of her own vast ranch in Texas, finds herself penniless, with no means of disposing of her herds, her chief asset being the true spirit of the pioneers. Word comes that way up "north of 36," a market beckons. With her 4500 cows, 16 cow hands, 19 kinds of rifles and six-shooters and 115 cow ponies, Tasie makes the start with all the thrills that the start of the wagon train in Emerson Hough's "The Covered Wagon" evolved. Through this great panorama one sees groups of ragged sinewy men, the glorious girl at their head, the ox carts and the sea of long horned cattle; accomplishing one of the greatest deeds of pioneer bravery and daring. Paramount has furnished a notable cast to visualize the story. It includes Jack Holt, Ernest Torrence, Lois Wilson and Noah Beery in featured roles. The picture opens a four days' run next Monday at the California theatre. It's a colorful page from the history of the United States—a second "Covered Wagon!"

This is a big special de luxe production, adapted for the screen by John Russell. The picture has for its background the colorful, ancient customs and traditions of old Spain. Yet it is an ultra-modern screen play in every sense of the word. In keeping with the Spanish atmosphere of the story, Allan Dwan selected a cast of players that represent Spain in ancestry or by association. Black-haired and brown-eyed Bebe Daniels, whose grandmother is a South American, is admirably suited to her part. Ricardo Cortez, also known for his Latin characterizations, has the leading role opposite Miss Daniels. In the supporting cast are such well-known Latin players as Mario Majeroni and Mark Gonzales. Even the musicians who played on the set to help establish the proper tempo of the actors were Spanish, and their instruments and music conformed to the general atmosphere of dreamy, leisurely life in the Argentine. BEING GOOD ON $600 A WEEK Harry Snodgrass, prison-made and radio-made, walked out of prison into a job paying him $600 a week. From an unknown penitentiary inmate known only by number, he has risen to be proclaimed "king of the ivories" by admiring radio listeners in the four corners of the United States. His playing has merit of a sort, else it would not have won such widespread recognition. He possessed the same talent before he held up a candy kitchen in St. Louis and was sentenced to three years inside the bleak gray walls. Snodgrass, in a farewell radio talk, promised to be good. His staunch admirers who have showered him with gifts hope he will. He may escape the law in the future, but he will find it more difficult to be good with $600 a week than without it. There isn't much truth in the average maxim. Thus, ignorance of the law is a good excuse fully half of the time.
