A delightful luncheon in honor of the teachers was given in the intermediate school cafeteria last Thursday noon by the girls of the domestic department, under the direction of Miss Gladys Ensley, their instructor.

W. Griffith has given the pendulum of the motion picture another push. When, years ago, he revolutionized the screen by producing "The Birth of a Nation," the first full length picture ever made, he started the pendulum swinging in the direction of massive mobs and gigantic "sets." He showed that pictures were an ideal vehicle for emotions en masse, for brilliant pageantry, and drama on a grand scale. He invented a whole bagful of methods to impress his drama on the minds of the spectators, the "flash-back," the "revert-back," and a score more. With "Broken Blossoms," he gave another tilt to the pendulum, by transferring to the screen a brief but intensely dramatic tale, one which dealt with human emotions in the individual instead of in the mass. But even here, it was the sheer beauty he brought to picturesque surroundings, the beauty which his genius brought to vivid but exotic characters which succeeded. In his latest picture, "Ins't Life Wonderful?" which comes to the United theatre next Sunday and Monday, he has revolutionized all previous ideas of picturedom by returning to life itself plain, stark, simple human emotion in the most commonplace surroundings. He has pictured love; not the love of Building permit was granted Monday to John Eymann for alterations to a store front at 116 North Los Angeles street. The estimated cost of the improvements is $400. Victim of an accident last Friday night, when his motorcycle skidded on the slippery pavement, Motorcycle Officer Ernest Sawyer was treated by Dr. J. W. Truxaw for a severe scalp wound. A petition is on file in Superior court by which the Ebell Club of Anaheim asks permission to dispose of certain real estate in Anaheim in order to build a new clubhouse on another site which the club owns. Frank Brown pleaded guilty to a charge of issuing fictitious checks and was sentenced last Friday by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams to serve 90 days in the county jail. The local Delphian chapter will be the guests of the Long Beach chapter on Friday afternoon at the Ebell clubhouse, where they will view the Biltmore art exhibit brought from Los Angeles for the occasion.

Stro In Well It Made of excellent in several attracti to be embroidered FALK ferring to the screen a brief but intensely dramatic tale, one which dealt with human emotions in the individual instead of in the mass. But even here, it was the sheer beauty he brought to picturesque surroundings, the beauty which his genius brought to vivid but exotic characters which succeeded. In his latest picture, "Ins't Life Wonderful?" which comes to the United theatre next Sunday and Monday, he has revolutionized all previous ideas of picturedom by returning to life itself plain, stark, simple human emotion in the most commonplace surroundings. He has picturized love; not the love of the great or the unusual, but the love of everyday folk. He has picturized the life not of startling figures, but the life of the workday man and his maid. For the first time he has made the screen do what the dramatic stage at its best, and the novelist at his finest have always sought to do. He has reached the heart with so delicate an instrument that the spectator never feels the instrument. He laughs, he sighs, he weeps not because and one particular scene impresses him, but because he, too, is human. "Isn't Life Wonderful?" does not appeal to any particular set or kind of people. Because it appeals to all. It is filled with beauty, it is replete with humor. But it is not the kind of beauty which requires a trained eye to appreciate, nor the kind of humor which requires a mind keen to wit to understand. It is the beauty of life itself. The humor of real human beings. It is the first picture in which human interest sustains the entire interest, unaided by exotic surroundings, by brilliant scenery, by lovely gowns, by actors and actresses doing their painful utmost to appear beautiful. Critics have classed it unanimously as an even greater achievement than "The Birth of a Nation" or "Broken Blossoms." Funeral services will be held this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, for little. Frank C. Hartman, 5-year-old son of Mrs. Rose Hartman of Buena Park, at the Congregational church in Buena Park. Rev. C. F. Hilgenfeld officiating.

FALKENSTEIN'S Strong Cast Plays In Big Mystery Film Well Balanced Situations Make It Good Entertainment The measure of a play, screen or otherwise, is, in the concrete, the manner in which the play in question is received by those who pay their money to see it. With regard to "Secrets of the Night," Universal-Jewel, showing at the United theatre Friday and Saturday, a bald, superficial description might cause the opinion that it is a slapstick affair. Such an impression would be unjustly acquired, for, while there has been seen on the screen very few, if any, pictures that have the rapidity of action that makes this production the fine vehicle of entertainment that it is, there is nothing in this rapidity that savors in the least of the slapstick, owing to the reality of its thrills. James Kirkwood and Madge Bellamy are the featured players of an all star, under direction of Herbert Blache. The entire cast of 16 persons is notable by reason of the prominence of those who participate in the unfolding of the story. Here they are: Zazu Pitts, Rosemary Theby, Tom Wilson, Otto Hoffman, Tom Rickett, Tom S. Guise, Joseph Singleton, Arthur county of the company. Originally the plan of these farmers companies called for the making of assessments to cover fire losses, but today nearly all are making advance premium collections and are building up a fund or asset which insures security. The Lakeport convention will probably bring together delegates from every one of the California companies. There will be addresses by State Insurance Commissioner Charles R. Detrick, President Hardison of the State Farm Bureau Federation, members of the association and an especially strong drawing tard in Harry P. Cooper of Crawfordsville, Ind., secretary of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies. Mr. Cooper has been a lifelong worker in mutual insurance. California companies are expecting a great uplift because of this the first visit of the secretary. President McCotter of the national spirit part of the winter in California, thus became conversant with the needs of the state and is one reason for the coming of Secretary Cooper. The officers of the state association are: President, C. B. Messenger; vice-president, F. H. Stiles, Tulare; secretary-treasurer, Fred C. Cromer, 931 Central building, Los Angeles; the president, secretary and Hon. G. W. Ashley, Lodi; J. D. Musgrove, Woodland, and Oscar W. Smith, Santa Barbara; executive committee.

That the efforts of all concerned to make the production an enjoyable vehicle of entertainment were successful, is evidenced by the reception given the viewing that inspires this review. "Secrets of the Night," as seen on the screen, was adapted from "The Nighteap," which was accorded enthusiastic recognition when it was produced on the speaking stage in one of Broadway's greatest theatrres accredited to Guy Bolton and Max Marcin. And here is another thing in praise of the screen picture—it really has the appearance of a stage production with transparent, sound-proof material, between the spectators and the stage, so that the voices of the actors cannot be heard. INSURANCE CONVENTION TO MEET IN LAKE COUNTY The California Association of County Mutual Fire Insurance Companies will hold its twenty-fourth annual meeting at Lakeport, May 27, 28 and 29. There are 23 of these county mutual companies in California. There are nearly 2000 in the United States, while the valuation covered by them requires 11 figures to express it. In other words, it is well up in the billions. These California companies, all organized within the last 27 years, are now insuring over $131,000,000 worth of property and that at a cost materially less than the old line companies charge. Best of all is perfect solvency and stability of these companies. Savings bank and other deposits of cash also securities, must be kept within the winter in California, thus became conversant with the needs of the state and is one reason for the coming of Secretary Cooper. The officers of the state association are: President, C. B. Messenger; vice-president, F. H. Stiles, Tulare; secretary-treasurer, Fred C. Cromer; 931 Central building, Los Angeles; the president, secretary and Hon. G. W. Ashley, Lodi; J. D. Musgrove, Woodland, and Oscar W. Smith, Santa Barbara executive committee. The Lake County Mutual and the Chamber of Commerce, which will be hosts, are combining in preparation for two afternoons of pleasure in automobiles in boat rides on Clear lake, banquet etc. Besides Secretary Cooper there will be programmed addresses by Hon. Charles R. Detrick, California state commissioner of insurance; President Hardison of the state farm bureau federation, members of the association and others. ROADS FOR THE MASSES An engineer from the Bureau of Public Roads who recently studied road conditions in England, finds asphaltic types of pavement used extensively in that country. One road job of this type, 165 miles long in the Greater London section, will cost $363,636 a mile, the cost to include widening right-of-way up to 100 or even 120 feet. The United Kingdom has 177,000 miles of road with 242 persons to every mile. The United States has 2,941,000 miles of road with 35 persons to a mile. To pave this vast area it cannot spend $360,000 a mile on a road. Instead it covers from 16 to 20 miles of worn out gravel and macadam roads with three to five inches of asphaltic concrete, 18 feet wide, for the price England expends on one mile of road.
