This city is rapidly forging to the front as the abode of the work premier of first showing of great motion pictures. Tomorrow in this Seaplanes Hunt For Men Last 24 Hours NEYPORT, N. J., Aug. 21.—A fleet of seaplanes roared away from the hangers of the Aero Marine Airways Inc., today and sweeping low over the surface of the Atlantic and lower New York bay, began searching for a sightseeing plane carrying one passenger and two mechanicians, missing 24 hours. It is feared that if the plane has been forced to descend on the water, those abroad will be found dead, as high seas prevail. The identity of the passenger is not known but a wealthy man it is understood chartered the plane for a trip to Fire Island, off New York. With Pilot Miller and Mechanician Thompson, he set sail from the company's station at 7 a.m. Sunday.

He wa Anaheim, the proud city of oranges, agriculture and other world famous products, known far and wide; a city of beautiful homes and lovely avenues, taking her place in the world as a community made up of people who are noted for their discriminating tastes in the arts as well. This city is rapidly forging to the front as the abode of the world premier of first showing of great motion pictures. Tomorrow in this city, one of the greatest photoplay ever produced will be shown to the public for the first time, and the producers of this picture are relying entirely on what the Anaheim theater-goers will have to say when they have seen this drama. Jackie Coogan, numbered among the most widely publicized persons on earth today, will be seen in that widely read volume of Charles Dickens, entitled "Oliver Twist." One of the greatest stars in the world today appearing in one of the best known stories ever published, and supported by a remarkable cast of 18 recognized stars. In backing up this claim of wide publicity for Jackie Coogan, it was pointed out by one of America's best known authorities on this subject that there is only one person on earth today who is written about more in the land of make believe. Jackie Coogan ranks second, according to the statistics. The world premier of "Oliver Twist" is scheduled to take place at our own California Theater tomorrow and Wednesday, and will be one of the most distinguished events this city has ever seen. This first showing will be attended by an array of film notables, theatrical magantes and newspaper critics never before seen in Anaheim's history. And all this because a little boy, age 7 years, starred in a motion picture. Who is it that has not read Dickens' "Oliver Twist?" Few, to be sure. In casting around for a suitable vehicle for Jackie Coogan, Mr. Sol Lesser, famous film chief and his aides, decided that "Oliver Twist" seemed to have been especially written to fit this diminutive tot. The child star's natural ability, personality, sense of pathos and wonderful genius for screen expression stampen him at once as the natural "Oliver" for this tale. But hold! What about the other very important characters? After a careful scrutiny of the entire field of stars, Lon Chaney, who gained tremendous popularity as "The Frog" in "The Miracle Man," and other successes, was chosen for the difficult part of "Fagan." Beautiful and demure Gladys Brockwell seemed to live the part of "Nancy Sykes," George Siegman as "Bill Sykes," the overbearing bully and cruel master was perfect to behold. The identity of the passenger is not known but a wealthy man it is understood chartered the plane for a trip to Fire Island, off New York. With Pilot Miller and Mechanician Thompson, he set sail from the company's station at 7 a.m. Sunday. OIL OPERATOR NABBED FOR BAD CHECK Huntington Beach oil operators and investors are looking forward with considerable interest to the proposed prosecution of Charles B. Behr, Los Angeles oil operator, whose arrest in Los Angeles on a worthless check charge was announced today by the sheriff's office. Behr's trial has been fixed to open Sept. 19, at 10 a.m. He gave bonds of $2,000 provided by D. White and W. White, of Los Angeles. H. H. Harris of Los Angeles, is his attorney. Francis C. Moore, Los Angeles contractor, filed the charge. He is understood also to have attached an oil well now being drilled at the beach city by Behr interests, to partly cover a civil claim for $3,200. Morris A. Calin, of Santa Ana, is Moore's attorney. The complaint says that the check was drawn on a Los Angeles bank on Aug. 11, in payment for boilers which Moore installed at the well at an agreed price of $1,000, to be paid for as soon as installed, the last of July. Moore later agreed to install the boilers at $1,700 and received no money for this work either. Behr recently was plaintiff in a suit against the Guaranty Oil Co., which had drilled one producing well and now is drilling others. HAROLD H.

Other famous film folk such as Lionel Belmont, Lewis Sargent, and other celebrities, that the entire cast sounds like a page from: "Who's Who in Movies." Another question of extreme importance was who was to direct this marvelous play. Of course everyone settled at once upon Frank Lloyd. Mr. Lloyd is known as one of fldom's most successful directors. He made picture triumphs that have caused sensations throughout the earth. Many of his great William Farnum masterpieces are well known to all in Anaheim. Surrounding this ensemble, the producers began forming an organization of experts that caused even old-timers to gasp. The entire United Studios in Hollywood was converted into English atmosphere. Then the actual work commenced. It took many long months to complete this picture. Magnificent sets were eroded; costumes perfect to the last detail were made, and slowly but surely the wonderful story of "Oliver Twist" was transferred to the celluloid to entertain the millions of theatergoers throughout the length and breadth of the globe. But here is where Anaheim's importance is apparent. This city was selected as the FIRST community to publicly show this masterpiece. And the views of Anaheimers after seeing this picture will serve as a criterion for the entire nation. The world premier tomorrow night will be a distinguished event indeed. Personages whose names are authority throughout the length and breadth of filmdom will be present. The entire cast, including Jackie Coogan, accompanied by Ms. and (Continued on Page 2) HAROLD H.

Caverly in an auction bid which materially reduced the prisoner's sentence. "A year in the house of correction and a $1000 fine," the judge ordered. "Make it 20 days," suggested Kelly, who acted as his own attorney. "Six months," countered Judge Caverly. "Two months," retorted the prisoner. When the bidding closed Kelly had compromised with Judge Caverly on a $10 fine and three month's prison sentence. CALL A JOINT MEETING OF COUNCILS Survive Wounds Pedro Reyes, of Placentia, today bears the marks of three 38-calibre steel-nosed bullets on his body, but no serious wounds, following a hold-up in Placentia late Saturday night. His assailant, who was the target for two shots fired by Reyes, escaped. Reyes doesn't know whether he hit him or not. Reyes lives at 216 Melrose-st. and is the proprietor of a poolroom in the Mexican section. He was going home on his bicycle at about 11:15, when the other Mexican, whom he knows by sight, but not by name, accosted him and demanded his money. The shooting began when Rios declined to accommodate him. The holdup man, before coming to Placentia, had lived in Colton and also Coronna. In Placentia he had done nothing but loaf, and recently his landlord, one Fernandez, ousted him from his room. One bullet passed through the left forearm and lodged in the chest over the breast bone. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, of Anaheim, and Dr. Guy Kay, of Placentia, who attended, think that if he hadn't put his arm down he would have been wounded seriously or fatally. As it was, the wound was only a flesh one. The other bullet entered the left side and came out at the right, and also did not penetrate deeply enough to cause much harm. Reyes got home and there was treated. Deputy Sheriff Herman Zabel went at once to the scene of the shooting, and talked with Reyes, for whom search now is being made. MYSTERY STORY OF GIRLS IS PROBED LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21 — Search for a mystery automobile with an apparently fake license plate which was reported to be loaded with costly fuel and women's apparel was begun today by deputies from the sheriff's office, following a report from a Mr. Vare, of Long Beach, that he picked up two girls on the Compton-Rondo Beach boulevard who told a strange story of the car and its occupants. The girls gave their names as Laelia Smith, 1237 E. Fiftieth-st., and Ellen Dean, 1239 E. Fiftieth-st. The girls said they were picked up by the automobile in which two men and two women, and taken into the country, and when the men began to act roughly they jumped out. FEAR CONGRESS & HARDING TO BREAK WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 — Republi 000 Fire Pump Loss of upwards of $3,000 was suffered late Saturday when a barn of Mrs. Eva Boyd in the rear of 129 So. Olive-st. was practically destroyed by fire. The contents of the barn, consisting of fine furniture and a library valued at $1,500, partly insured, were also burned. Two other barns nearby and the Boyd house were threatened, and neighbors can't understand yet how they escaped. The barn belonged to Mrs. Eva Boyd, the furniture to her mother, Mrs. Nancy S. Littlefield, and the library to George T. Littlefield, Mrs. Boyd's brother. The barns threatened stand at 126 and 130 So. Philadelphia-st. It was the first tryout at a fire for the new $5,000 auxiliary pump on the fire truck. This necessitates the winding and laying of the hose just the reverse of what has been the practice when the hydrants were used directly. In the confusion this point was overlooked and some time was lost before the mistake was remedied. Heretofore, fire department officials announced today, full reliance will be placed entirely on the fire pump and the hose will be arranged with that in view. The way the hose was first laid Saturday, two female couplings came together and it was not until the hose was reversed that a nozzle could be screwed on and a stream of water directed at the flames.

Knox, Santa Ana city engineer, today announced he would call a joint meeting of Anaheim and Santa Ana citi councils to hear his report on inspection of sewer pipe investigated at St. Louis and oited mid-western points. Knox stated he received a letter from City Manager O. E. Steward, who accompanied him on the investigation and who had to lay over in Boise, Idaho, with a brother when he overtaxed himself, advising Knox to go ahead with his recommendations and not awake his arrival, as it might hold up construction too long.

Zella Vaughn, Fullerton High School girl, who has been missing many weeks, arrived in Santa Ana this morning in the custody of Mrs. H. W. Alen, matron of the detention home. Roy Bilton is out under $5,000 bail and his wife under $1,000, on charges connected with girl's disappearance. Britton denies all the OIL NOW R. W. Phelps, Union Geologist, Talks Entertainingly to Kiwanis Club Now that most of the oil fields found by surface or near-surface indications have been located, it is becoming impossible to determine where a new field exists except by laborious experiment, R. W. Phelps, resident geologist at Brea for the Union Oil Co. of California, said today in an address before the Rotary Club and in an interview. It was the club's weekly luncheon meeting at the Elks' clubhouse. Art Shipke of the Union Oil Co. selected the speaker and S. C. Hartranft was chairman of the day. On motion it was decided to have each of the members pictures taken to be placed in a group upon a card. The next baseball game was announced for Thursday evening with the Santa Ana Kiwanis Club on the local Y. M. C. A. grounds. The Santa Fe oil fields, Phelps said, was a notable exception to the others in that the presence of oil was shown only by actual deep drilling. The fcd was down 3,700 feet. Regarding the prospects of oil about Anaheim, the speaker said it was unknown how deep this valley was covered with formations of previous geologic ages. An anti-cline or fold as in many fields or a monocline or slope as in the Brea or Olinda fields are what usually indicate oil. This fold or incline may be at the surface or deep down. No minimum depth for it ever has been fixed. When found, if oil has been discovered on another part of it, the indications are that it will be discovered again. Its general direction can be gained from drilling a number of different producing wells. The finding of shale and oil sand are a sure index of the presence of oil, said Phelps. The speaker went into the history of oil formation. He said that the history of the earth for practical geological purposes is "dated" from the time when the earth began to cool off and solidify. The Miocene period of Tertiary time is where California oil geologists actually begin. At that time this vicinity was covered with myriads of distoms, a small creature which multiplied very fast in the sea. They formed the shale, which exists in huge quantities, or the oil sank deeper and deeper. Near Lompoc a depth of perhaps 6,000 feet has been reached by oil formations. Shale is an excellent non-con- MISSING H. S. GIRL RETURNED TO S. A. Zella Yaughn, Fullerton High School girl, who has been missing many weeks, arrived in Santa Ana this morning in the custody of Mug H. W. Alen, matron of the detention home. Roy Bilton is out under $5,000 ball and his wife under $1,000, on charges connected with girl's disappearance. Britton denies all the charges and says he had nothing to do with the girl's alleged astray.
