REAL, WORTH-WHILE STOCK COMPANY AT FAIRYLAND THEATER A real, worth while dramatic stock company for Anaheim! That is the startling announcement made today by the management of the Fairyland theatre, after concluding negotiations with the noted Frank and King Comedians, who are to make their initial appearance in this city next Friday evening. The Frank and King Comedians are among the West's very best known companies. Comprising a wonderful cast of 11 acting performers, they are preparing to present a series of dramatic plays each week here that unquestionably will be the talk of all Orange County. The Franks and the Kings will be remembered here as the prime favorites of the old Original Murphy's Comedians, who made such a sensation in Anaheim. Only yesterday, several of the members, while walking down Center-st., were stopped on the street and greeted immediately as old friends. This company holds a very unique record on the coast. The entire cast has been together for two and one half years without a single change in the personnel. During that time, they have created an enviable record, notably in Bakersfield, where they held away for some time with their splendid productions. It is the plan of the Frank and King Comedians to present only superb dramatic dramas and plays on the Fairyland stage at prices that will interest everyone. One of the big features of their program will be the presentation of high class vaudeville between acts. They come to this city with a wonderful array of costumes, and the scenic effects will be second to none. The curtain will rise each evening promptly at 8 o'clock, and everyone is urged to see them in their very first Anaheim offering. WARM ENDORSEMENT FOR "ROPIN' FOOL" POOR GERMAN LEFT RICH U. S. LEGACY BERLIN, Jan. 3.—A legacy of $30,000 has fallen to John Bagensky, a laborer, eking out a scanty living with his wife and six children in a working men's settlement near the Rhenish city of Borkum. Bagensky's elder brother, a hotel keeper living in St. Louis, died recently without heirs, bequeathing his whole fortune to his brother in Germany, who had believed him dead, not having heard from him for more than thirty years, since the older brother had emigrated to the states. At the present rate of exchange the inherited fortune, even after deducting the heavy toll of American and German inheritance taxes, turns the poor laborer into a mark multimillionaire. Bagensky is going to start a large contracting business, with the assistance of his eldest son, who is a trained master builder. FRESH VOLUMES AT FULLERTON LIBRARY Saturday evening was new book night at the Fullerton Public Library, but instead of making their appearance at 6 p.m. as usual, they will be available at 7 o'clock, an hour when even the housekeeper can be present if she desires. Following is the list of new books for this week, announced from the office of Miss Minnie Maxwell, librarian. Non-fiction—Clapp, Talking Business. A comprehensive treatment of the art of pleasing and effective spoken language as it applies to business situations. Covera Sales Interviews. Reports as well as public addresses and after dinner speeches. Business men of every status will find practical suggestions. Crane, The Looking Glass.

The amusing cowboy comedian is declared to be at his best in the offering. Roberts is an odd personality in the amusement world. Besides being one of funniest men on the silver sheet, he has been the star of the Ziegfeld Follies for the last few years and has always registered the outstanding hit in the big revue. New York dailies were unanimous in praising Rogers' first Pathe vehicle during its pre-release showing at the Capitol Theatre. The New York Sun comments: "Will Rogers rope—and occasionally jokes—to his heart's content at the Capitol this week in his first self-made production, 'The Ropin' Fool,' and the picture is fascinating with its slow motion studies of the lariat throwing twists with which Rogers seems to make a rope all but eat out of his hand." "Those who see Will Rogers in the flesh," says Herald, "can go across to the Capitol and see him in the film, with his remarkable latart stunts elucidated by slow motion photography and with new jokes added that are not in his stage act. His lassosing becomes none the less mystifying and impressive when it is slowed up and the wonder increases that Rogers can do it at all and still preserve presence enough of mind to grin. Nay, more, one wonder how he can spare the energy and mental concentration necessary to chew gum meanwhile." The program also includes "Broadway Rose" starring Mae Murray and a cast of well known screen players. OLD "BEEF-EATERS" IN OLD UNIFORMS The only modern dress in Cosmopolitan's picturization of the famous romantic novel, "When Knighthood Was In Flower," with Marion Davies as the star, is the uniforms of the guards of the Tower of London—and that is because they are the same today as they were four hundred years ago. Tourists who have visited that grim fortress prison will readily recognize the "Beef-eaters" as they appear in the picture. How they acquired the nickname by which they big features of their program will be the presentation of high class vaude-ville between acts.

ANOTHER PRODUCER IN TORRANCE WELL With Oil Operators The Standard Oil Co. added another nice producer to the Torrance field when it brought in Torrance No. 2, a 500 barrel, 25 gravity well The Standard finished this second high gravity well of the field at 3597. On the Kirke property the Standard has No. 2 ready to go or production at 3645 and will probably get another nice well. The Kirke well was completed by the Cyrus W. Bell Drilling Co. and marks the first spoken language as it applies to business situations. Coveres Sales Interviews, Reports as well as public addresses and after dinner speeches.

HOWARD V FOR 345 With Owl The week's big ta Fe Springs for Co.Completing 3808 feet the U at 3450 barrels increased its outwork on the Saw cover property.addition to having 8 drilling,the Uground for IN OLD UNIFORMS The only modern dress in Cosmopolitan's picturization of the famous romantic novel, "When Knighthood Was In Flower," with Marlon Davies as the star, is the uniforms of the guards of the Tower of London—and that is because they are the same today as they were four hundred years ago. Tourists who have visited that grim fortress-prison, will readily recognize the "Beef-eaters" as they appear in the picture. How they acquired the nickname by which they have been known in recent years is unknown. The Tower of London was not always the grim prison that is so notorious in English history. The wedding of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Arragon, was celebrated there, and also his marriage with Anne Boleyn, who was subsequently beheaded there. In the early days of his reign Henry VIII used the Tower as one of his palaces, and it was then that he dressed the guards in gorgeous uniforms. Hampton Court, the great palace built by Cardinal Wolsey, is another monument of Tudor days still preserved in its original form, and faithful reproductions of both these historic structures are interesting features of this great Paramount picture now showing at the Fairyland theatre. The "Beefeaters" still carry the enormous halbars with which they were armed in Tudor times. MAXIMUM INCREASE OF 15 PCT· IN TIRES Advancing tires a maximum of 15 per cent, leading manufacturers yesterday made good the prediction of several weeks ago. Firestone, Good year and United States tires went up sharply, the maximum on the last mentioned, however, being only 12 A per cent, according to S. R. Walker. Dealers still say the present increase is only the first of two or three. The Los Angeles office of the General Cord today received a wire from the factory of a material advance shortly. The Los Angeles headquarters of the Norwalk received a similar telegram, according to the Nu-Way Tire Co., exclusive distributors. The Kelly-Springfield had already raised its tires 10 per cent and this tire is still higher than the other standard makes. So is the General Cord. A 10 per cent advance by the independents is the forecast today, the latter aiming still to keep below the standard price list. IN TORRANCE WELL With Oil Operators The Standard Oil Co. added another nice producer to the Torrance field when it brought in Torrance No. 2, a 500 barrel, 25 gravity well. The Standard finished this second high gravity well of the field at 3597. On the Kirke property the Standard has No. 2 ready to go or production at 3645 and will probably get another nice well. The Kirke well was completed by the Cyrus W. Bell Drilling Co. and marks the first well Mr. Bell has completed since going into the contract drilling business some four months ago. At La Mirada the Nevada-Ventura Oil Co.'s No. 1A is beginning to take on the appearances of a real oil well. Drilling is now nearing the 5600 mark, where the big showing was struck in the first well drilled. Jack McKeon is doing the drilling and so far a splendid record has been made. At Downey the Union Oil Co.'s community test well has passed the 4700 foot mark and is not showing any oil indications. A few months ago the opinion of the experts was divided, but now there are few who believe that the Downey field has a chance for coming into production. The Union is making a good test hole, and doing careful work. Interest increases with the showings the Pomona Oil Co. is getting at 4880 feet. The formation shows a fine sand, this fine sand carrying a lot of gas, and at times there is oil enough to paint the tools. The Chino-Corona United's Puente Hills well is beginning to look a little more encouraging. Drilling is now at 4385 and at this depth a coarse sand, carrying so much gas that balling is difficult, was found. This is the best gas showing the Chino-Corona well has had and the backers believe that they will find the sand from which this gas is coming before very long. The Chino-Corona United, has made a determined effort to develop a new field for a period of three years and are certainly deserving of success. BABY Can furnish sted S. C. White carefully culled for Jan., Feb. Petroleum records of par S. O. GETS WELL AT HUNTINGTON BEACH With Oil Operators The Standard Oil Co. "copped" the production honors at Huntington Beach by bringing in a 3650 barrel well. The Standard Oil Co. completed the big well in the deep sand at a depth of 4446 and brought in a 27 gravity producer. This new well is now the largest producer in the Huntington Beach field. This record well was brought in at No. 14 on the Huntington Beach lease. Farnsworth No. 1, the well that has been watched perhaps more closely at Huntington Beach for a month or more, is not ready for a production try out yet. Drilled to 4860 it was found to make a second cementing. Talbert No. 1, one of the deepest test wells now drilling in the beach field, is getting close to the 5000 foot mark. Many new producers completed in the deep sand will be tried out for production before the end of the week. The Catalina View Oil Co. has completed its No. 1 at 4440 and landed a 4½ oil string with the expectation of bringing in a big well. The Catalina View well was drilled by Jameson and it is understood he gave the well to his employees. The Texas Holding Co. has completed the redrilling and deepening of its No. 1, a former producer, at 4500 feet and the well is ready to go on production. Indications are strong for the biggest well the Huntington Beach field has yet produced for the Texas Holding's No. 1. The Kiseau Oil Syndicate has attained a depth of 4450 feet and is beginning to show rather strong. The Moore Syndicate is another well that is looking exceedingly good. The drilling in the Moore is now at 4500 feet and the gas is so lively that drilling is going ahead under some difficulty. Huntington Central No. 2, a well that will stand out in the history of the development of Huntington Beach as long as oil is associated with the field, has been put on production. The well has had one of the most checkered careers of any well at Huntington Beach! It was started soon after the field opened, has changed hands a number of times and has had about all the drilling.

Huntington Central No. 2, a well that will stand out in the history of the development of Huntington Beach as long as oil is associated with the field, has been put on production. The well has had one of the most checkered careers of any well at Huntington Beach. It was started soon after the field opened, has changed hands a number of times and has had about all the drillin difficulties known. Huntington Central No. 2 is now pumping a little oil and some water. It is not known as yet whether it will make a commercial producer or not. An impression was gained not long ago that the wells and holdings of the McIntyre Bros. had become the property of the Roseburg Petroleum Co. The impression is without foundation, as the McIntyre Bros. still hold their Huntington Beach leases and properties and intend to hold them. Many of the leases of the McIntyre Bros. seem to be in line for the new deep production development in the beach field. Already, the McIntyre Bros. have made preparations for the redrilling and deepening of one of the wells. Another rumor that has gained considerable headway, so much that many are believing it to be a fact, is the taking over of the Fairview Oil Co. by W. M. Keck and the Keck Drilling Co. Mr. Keck nor the Keck Drilling Co. have no connection whatever with the redrilling and placing of the well on production. Mr. Keck takes the Fairview No. 1 on the Goldsmith property at 4988 feet to complete for a stated amount. In consideration of the fact that Keck has interests in the Fairview field many have taken it for granted that he had taken over the Fairview Oil Co. The Fairview Oil Co. has plenty of money to go ahead with its work and will continue the drilling of its No. 2. W. S. Smulling, formerly head of the Standard Oil Co.'s producing department and manager of the Fairview Oil Co., has tendered his resignation to the Fairview and will devote his time and attention to the York-Smullin Drilling Co., of which he is senior member. HOWARD WELL GOOD FOR 3450 BARRELS With Oil Operators The week's biggest success at Santa Fe Springs fell to the Union Oil Co. Completing Howard No. 2 at 3808 feet the Union well started off at 3450 barrels and in a few days increased its output to 3800 barrels. The Union has started a lot of new work on the Santa Fe Springs discovery property, the Meyers lease. In addition to having Meyer 4, 5, 6 and 8 drilling, the Union has lumber on the ground for No. 7, has made lo- Reductions in the prices of women's Ready-to-Wear vastness and the variety of the styles and fabrics hereby announced.

Completing Howard No. 2 at 3808 feet the Union well started off at 3450 barrels and in a few days increased its output to 3800 barrels. The Union has started a lot of new work on the Santa Fe Springs discovery property, the Meyers lease. In addition to having Meyer 4, 5, 6 and 8 drilling, the Union has lumber on the ground for No. 7, has made locations for Nos. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and has lumber on the location for No. 17. Meyer 4 at 4650 is showing some oil and gas and is looking rather good. On the Bell property No. 1, the old stand by, continues to produce better than 2100 barrels of 27 gravity oil daily. In addition to having eight wells drilling the Union has made four new locations. Flood No. 1, the west side outpost well, renched 5245 and met with a rather bad fishing job. To date this well has not shown any indications of oil and there is a chance of it being abandoned soon if the tools are not recovered. The Elliott Petroleum Co. and the Federal Drilling Co. are to be congratulated on the splendid success they are having with the Elliott well. Little or no trouble was experienced in getting out the oil string, and drilling is going ahead nicely at 4400 feet. It is the intention of the Elliott Petroleum Co. to find and produce from the Meyer sand. Elliott has taken all the chance work out of deep drilling with his core barrel so there is little or no chance of the Meyer sand being passed up in this test well. Through use of the Elliott core barrel a 4700 barrel well was completed a few weeks ago at Long Beach. BABY CHICKS Can furnish strong, healthy, selected S.C.
