PERK SWOPE LOCAL MANAGER OF THEATER (Continued from PAGE ONE) of the most brilliant minds in America on this particular line of work: A. F. Fleming, representing the C. F. Weber Co., of Los Angeles, who is responsible for the seating arrangements, and Mr. Retlaw went over the situation minutely. Much of the beautiful interior decorative effect was originated by Mrs. Gore, regarded as a connoisseur in art effects. She lent her able advice and the result has been astounding. The wondrous hinting, something entirely new in theatrical design, was her own conception. Experts who have viewed the work under way have pronounced it unique and a tremendous forward stride in theatre decoration. Already arrangements are progressing on the installation of the mighty Wurlitzer pipe and orchestra organ, while the finishing touches are being put on the interior in preparation for the laying of the concrete floor; the lobby and foyer, and the front designs. The new uniforms decided upon for the attractive usherettes will be mouse colored and chic in design. Mr. Gore in commenting upon the furnishing declared that only the costliest of materials is being used. Many Anaheim theatregoers are naturally wondering just what sort of entertainment will be presented at the new house. According to Mr. Retlaw, only the best pictures the market affords will be shown. Yaudeville of the very highest quality will be presented, and with the ample stage and scenic as well as new lighting facilities, local folk will be given presentations that would do credit to any theatre in Los Angeles or anywhere else. With the great size of the auditorium proper, as well as the commodious seating arrangements, it is believed that everyone will be accommodated without delay. In describing the unusual interior lighting arrangements, Mrs. Gore explained that as the indirect lights, projected thru highly colored silk, plays upon the varied-colored ceiling and side walls, giving a luster seldom seen outside of great cinema palaces, the effect will be one that Anaheim patrons will not boon forget. Thus one is afforded ample lighting with out detracting from the projection of the picture or other presentation, and during the periods when the house is entirely lighted, the scene will be one or undue brilliancy. Helen Gibson will be seen again tonight at the New Grand in "The Wolverine." There will also be a comedy and the International News service. D. W. Griffith's "Dream Street," an epoch in motion pictures, will be seen tonight and tomorrow night at the Fairyland. A PLEASANT RULE.

CHARGES AGAINST WESTFALL DROPPED Because of insufficient evidence, the case of assault with a deadly weapon brot against G. W. Westfall, foreman employed by Mrs. Murletta Morris, proprietor of a resort in San Juan Canyon, has been dismissed on motion of Deputy Dist. Atty. Roland Thompson. The charge against Westfall was brot by W. T. Marcher of Hollywood. Westfall was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard at San Juan Capistrano following a preliminary hearing at a battery charge brot against Milton McLees, son-in-law of W. T. Marcher. The battery charge was preferred by Mrs. Morris. She claimed that McLees struck her. McLees declared that he merely pushed her aside when she tried to prevent him from driving his motor car thrue the O'Neill line gate. Justice of the Peace John Danori dismissed the action because of conflicting testimony. Both Marcher and McLees asserted that Westfall stopped them at the point of a gun and threatened to shoot every motorist who refused to pay toll to pass thru the O'Neill line gate. According to Ranger A. J. Berg of Corona and S. A. Boulden of San Diego, supervisor of the Cleveland forest, Mrs. Morris recently held a conference with Jerome O'Neill, of Oceanside, relative to her attempts at exacting toll from motorists who pass thru the O'Neill line gate.
