Thursday, Jan. 4, 1923 THEATRES RODOLPH VALENTINO IN SUPERB PICTURE One of the strongest stellar vehicles for Rodolph Valentino, yet selected, is the enthusiastic opinion of the producers regarding "The Young Rajah," a new Paramount picture in which that popular star will be seen at the California Theatre tomorrow for two days. The story is the famous novel, "Amos Judd," by J. A. Mitchell. The story, which is laid in America and India, introduces Amos Judd first as young Hindu prince—a child brot to this country for political reasons and placed in the care of Joshun and Sarah Judd, kindly New England farmers, together with an immense fortune. As the child grows up he demonstrates a remarkable gift of foretelling events, and his predictions always come true. As a man, he goes to Harvard and wins signal honors, cut incurs the bitter enmity of Bennett who believes him responsible for the accident which causes the death of Slade, Bennett's friend. Amos and Bennett fall in love with the same girl—Molly Cabot. In India, there is religious conflict and a usurpation of the throne. The Maharapah plans to kill Amos and sends a delegation to America for that purpose. Amos wins Molly's love and the wedding is planned but the former then has a vision of an attack upon himself by East Indians. Measures are taken for his protection, but the Hindus get him and are about to murder him when General Gadi, the man who had brought Amos as a child to America, the priest Narada and Gadi's men save him. The priest tells Amos he must come back and free his people from the usurper. Amos fights between love and duty and finally decides he must fulfill the latter and return to his native land. Molly is heartbroken at his depar- love and the wedding is planned but the former then has a vision of an attack upon himself by East Indians. Measures are taken for his protection, but the Hindus get him and are about to murder him when General Gadi, the man who had brought Amos as a child to America, the priest Narada and Gadi's men save him. The priest tells Amos he must come back and free his people from the usurper. Amos fights between love and duty and finally decides he must fulfill the latter and return to his native land. Molly is heartbroken at his departure but later Amos is seen looking into the waters of a beautiful lake, wherein he sees the vision of a Hindu wedding and as the bride raises her veil, her face is that of the woman he loves—Molly. And Amos's visions always come true! Wanda Hawley plays opposite the star. FILM RESULT OF 30 YEARS PRACTICE It is only a matter of weeks or months in producing a comedy photoply. "The Ropin Fool," starring Will Rogers, now showing at the United Theatre is the result of 30 years hard and constant practice. "It was this way." Will Rogers said. "My hobby has always been throwin' trick lasso stunts and I've been practising for 30 years. I suddenly got the idea to make this comedy. The Ropin' Fool,' and feature my rope tricks, because I knew if I didn't get 'em registered on celluloid before long I'd be too durd old to ever do it." And the result is the picture. But "The Ropin' Fool" not only shows the cowboy comedian throwing a rope around his head and performing phenomenal feats with it, but also shows them unusually clear by means of the slow motion camera. This special camera slows the rope action down to ten times less than normal speed and brings out every move of Will Rogers and every movement of the fascinating rope work. When Rogers began work on the picture, he determined that his rope work should stand out clearly, and to do this he made all the "sets" that were to be used as a background of a dark hue, so that the "white-washed" rope would be entirely visible to the eye. That he was rewarded for his tireless efforts can be seen as each particular rope "stunt" he attempis registers amazingly well on the motion picture screen. Mac Murray, former Follies girl, is presented in what is declared to be her best photoplay offering. "Broadway Rose". This program continues at the United today and tomorrow. EDNA HEINEMAN IS PROBE RAID UPON L. A. DOPE CLINIC LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. An investigation of the raid on his narcotic hospital at 145 North Gates street in which records were seized showing that Wallace Reid, Juanita Hansen, and other well known persons had been treated there as "dope" addicts, was started today by Dr. Chas. Blessing. Dr. Blessing returned to Los Angeles from San Francisco and immediately conferred with his attorney, Reuben G. Hunt. Together they went to the office of Asst. U. S. Dist. Att. Mark Heron to demand the return of the documents. Claiming that his hospital was operated in accordance with all laws, Dr. Blessing said he would investigate to determine the authority under which the raiding party operated. A federal narcotic officer was said to have led the raiders. San Francisco officers raided the hospital of Dr. John Scott Barker, Dr. Blessings's partner, in Oakland yesterday, but failed to fines evidence of importance. Dr. Barker is at liberty on $30,000 bail on a charge of violation of the Harrison narcotic act. Police Chief Oaks today made plans for an intensive war on the "dope" traffic following appropriation of $8000 by city council.

Miss Edna Heineman of Ball-bivd. Anaheim is proclaimed the winner of the United Theatre Film Talent Contest which closed Christmas night. After the votes had been carefully counted by the committee it was found that Miss Heineman had obtained a considerable lead over her nearest opponent. Miss Heineman is to be congratulated on winning a contest that means a great deal more to her than the mere honor of winning; it means that she will soon be granted a privilege for which many girls would be almost willing to give all they possess. It is the privilege of appearing in a regular motion picture production of feature class. The picture will be produced shortly and released on the regular schedule of the American Releasing Corporation. In every city, village and namet of the country there are girls who are sure in their own minds that they would make good before the camera if they just had a chance; and many of them really would. We cannot all be stars nor even one of the "others in the cast," but it is characteristic of the motion picture business that those who deserve success and fame usually get it. It is true that many get no farther than the call for "extras," and equally true that many of the stars whose names nightly beam in the electric signs first appeared in the glare of a Kleig light in the role of an extra. The Plain Dealer joins in the general congratulations being reed by Miss Heineman, whose engagement and personality have won for greatly worth while prize.
