This new comedy-drama by Leon and Harlan Ware, of novel, short story, and television fame, lures Mr. Erwin from his busy television schedule to lend his winning talents to the legitimate stage and to the kind of role he plays so well, that of a wistful, grass-roots philosopher who philoso- phizes himself right in uation both desperate and Mr. Erwin who appears Playhouse in its early boi circa 1926, in a play called Youngest," subsequently led to movies where he made 125 pictures in 22 years the last five years has seen his own national television.

Trotting Races Richest Program Yet One of the richest stakes and purse programs ever scheduled for a daylight-harness meeting was announced today by Pres Jenuine, vice-president and general manager of Western Harness Racing Association, for the fall meeting which opens at Hollywood Park, Thursday, Oct. 3. The Western Harness stakes program will disburse in the neighborhood of $255,000 depending on whether or not the classics require added money consolation races or race-offs. Total outlay of stakes and purses during the 34-day harness meeting will be approximately three-quarters of a million dollars. A banner crop of top trotting and pacing stars is assured for the fall meeting with free-for-allers seeking the mythical national championships in the American Classics and the three-year-old stars also being given choice opportunities for gold and glory. The Classics this year have been placed on a purely invitational basis, with the best horses at each gait receiving invitations. Another rule change limits the starting fields for both races to a maximum of 12 horses. Courage is that virtue which champions the cause of right. Cicero. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... Sept. 18 — 1882 The bell donated to St. Michael's Episcopal church gave forth its sound for the first time last Sunday morning, the delay in getting it into position being caused by the absence and illness of Rev. Emery, who could not give the matter his attention until last week. The bell is sweet toned and comes up to the expectations formed of it. It will be rung every Sunday morning at 9:30 and 10 o'clock for Sunday School and 50 Years Ago... Sept. 19 — 1907 At the opera house tomorrow night theatre-goers will have present for their delectation a program of unalloyed amusement by local talent. The Anaheim Band take their lives in hand to announce their rag-time Minstrels—twenty armored and asbestos comedians — you cannot harm them—they have their fingers crossed—especially selected vocalists with hand-cultivated voices. Michael's Episcopal church gave forth its sound for the first time last Sunday morning, the delay in getting it into position being caused by the absence and illness of Rev. Emery, who could not give the matter his attention until last week. The bell is sweet toned and comes up to the expectations formed of it. It will be rung every Sunday morning at 9:30 and 10 o'clock for Sunday School and when there is morning service it will ring at 10:30 and 10:55, and when there is evening service it will ring at 7:15 and 7:40. The bell was presented to the church by Mr. Balch of Boston, father of Charles B. Balch, the young man whose tragic death during the holidays cast a feeling of gloom over the entire community. He came here with a party of friends from Orange where he was visiting, and was assisting in decorating the church and the Christmas tree. While cutting a branch his knife slipped severing an artery in the wrist. Medical aid was called and he was removed to the home of Rev. Emery close by where everything possible was done for him, but the loss of blood so weakened him that he died about a week after the accident. The bell weighs 1320 pounds and is made of pure bell metal. The inscription on the bell reads: Ad Laudem Gloriamque Dei Omnipotentis—Et in Memoriam—Charles Buckminster Balch—Obit Ante Dien v Kalendas Januarias, A. D. 1881. (The doctor who was called to attend the young man was Dr. G. H. Bailey, a pioneer physician of Anaheim and the father of the editor of this "Old Time" column—Ed.) While playing near the open cellar door near Mr. Dobner's store on Thursday, one of his children fell into the cellar and received a severe bruise on the eye.

Gibson, republican nominee for railroad commissioner, will speak in Anaheim on October 6 and in Santa Ana the next day. At the opera house tomorrow night theatre-goers will have present for their delectation a program of unalloyed amusement by local talent. The Anaheim Band take their lives in hand to announce their rag-time Minstrels—twenty armored and asbestos comedians — you cannot harm them—they have their fingers crossed—especially selected vocalists with hand-cultivated voices—They have been told they could act, but have been greatly deceived?

This county will have a rock pile this winter for the amusement of the hobo tourists.

The Cannery on Saturday put up 17,000 cans of tomatoes, the output of nearly 17 tons of the product of the fields. The day's run was the largest of the season.

The elaborate front promises to be a thing of beauty. At a meeting of grape buyers held in Los Angeles last Saturday it was agreed that the following scale of prices would be adhered to: For Mission grapes $20 per ton of 2000 pounds, for Muscats $19, other foreign varieties such as Black Hamburg, Malvoise and Zinfandel, $22.50 per ton. The standard per cent of sugar of all grapes is 23 per cent. This standard is made necessary by the practice of many grape growers of Los Angeles of irrigating their vineyards just as the grapes were ripening. In this way the grapes were made watery and heavy and the amount of saccharine matter in the juice lessened. At the annual meeting of the Presbyterian Church held Thursday evening the treasurer's report showed most subscriptions paid up and a fair balance on hand. In the election of trustees Mr. J. B. Pierce was elected for a three year term and Mr. G. B. Shaffer for one year, the unexpired term of Mr. A. T. Ferdon, who has gone east.
