D. Hickerson in a report to the Department of Commerce. Work is to begin immediately. The houses, not to exceed 5000 in number and 10 conios each in cost (about $1400 at the present rate of exchange), are to be divided into two series of eight types of construction each. The purchasers are to have liberal terms of payment, extending over a period of 15 years, with a maximum interest charge of 6 per cent. The contractors probably will be in the market for American building hardware. Correct this sentence: "Look quickly, John" said the wife; "that charming woman at the next table is trying to flirt with you." Maybe you've heard this tale "I have here something which only a select few will be allowed to invest in." Miles Brewster fell for it. He had a hundred hard-earned dollars and a deep-seated grudge against the world in general and his girl and his Miles Brewster fell for it. He had a hundred hard-earned dollars and a deep-seated grudge against the world in general and his girl and his dad in particular. And he pictured the wealth that would gush up for him and enable him to take up his dad's notes at the bank and fire him from the business, and to regain his sweetheart that he might jilt her. He bought "Baby Blue". The consequences of his rashness is the laugh of the season. And the surprise.

RE FLOWERS FURNISHED BY Colonial Shop 214 East Center Street SMALL TOWN LIFE APPEALS IN FILM That small town life has an appeal for people everywhere is proved by the many excellent motion pictures with such a background. The latest and that is thought by New York cities to be one of the best, is "The Super-Sex," the attraction at the United Theatre Friday and Saturday. It is an adaptation of Frank R. Adams' Cosmopolitan Magazine story, directed by Lambert Hillyer, with a cast which numbers Robert Gordon, Charlotte Pierce, Tulky Marshall, Gertrude Claire, Lydia Knott and Albert MacQuarrie. The story deals with a youth of 20 who thinks he knows all there is to know about women—the "super-sex"—as well as about life itself. He is in fact, the typical boy of a small town and his family is true to families everywhere. His father, tired, hen-pecked by his wife's mother, the boy, mother, patient, cheerful, loving; and a remarkable character in Grandma Brewster. She is described on the screen as "a verbal sharp-shooter of rare ability who never misses an opportunity to remind people of the superiority of her side of the family." She is the old but ever new version of the mother-in-law. WHITTIER QUINTETS MEET FULLERTON'S Fullerton second and 130-pound basketball teams met Whittier H. S. teams this afternoon. Fullerton seconds: Leon Boisserle REMARKABLE CAST IN NEILAN PICTURE One of the most extraordinary casts ever assembled for one motion picture was that selected by Marshall Neilan for his first production in association with Goldwyn Picture Corporation—a screen version of Donn Byrnes' popular novel, "The Strangers' Banquet" which will be screened at the California theater for two days, beginning tomorrow. For the leading role, that of Derith Keogh, upon whose slender shoulders falls the management of her father's great shipyards, after his death. Mr. Neilan selected a Goldwyn stock player, Claire Windsor, the blond beauty from Kansas, who was offered a job as an extra the first time she entered a studio. Miss Windsor has done some fine work in previous Goldwyn, Lois Wilson and Marshall Neilan productions, but her part in "The Strangers' Banquet" called for a versatility, a power and skill which had not hitherto been demanded of her. She rose to them like the very real artist she is and takes several steps upward on the ladder of picture success as a result. Rockliffe Fellowes, a Canadian actor of both stage and screen, was selected to play opposite Miss Windsor because of his long training, his proved ability and his physical appearance and bearing. Hobart Bosworth was induced by Mr. Neilan to forego work on his own next production in San Francisco to go to Los Angeles and act the role of old Shane Butler Keogh in "The STATE FACTORIES ADD WAGE EARNERS" LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.—The manufacturing industry in California added 30,000 employees to its force for the year ending November 30, according to an employment survey compiled and issued yesterday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of California in co-operation with the United States Department of Labor Employment Service. The 130 firms reporting for San Francisco show 948 more wage earners than for November 30, 1921, or an increase of 4.9 per cent, the employment survey disclosed. For the two-month period, from September 30 to November 30, 1922, the same firms show an increase of 158 workers, but if the canning industry is excluded, because of its seasonal nature, the other industries show a gain of 833 employees, or 4.6 per cent increase. The 437 firms engaged in continuous operation throughout the year had 100.266 employees November 30, 1922, compared with 86.304 on the same date in 1921, or an increase of 16.2 per cent. Mrs. T. D.

FINE BOUQUET FOR THE WOMEN "The American people owe much to the superiority of their women," Clemeaceau tells his countrymen on his return to France. "In no other country are these feminine qualities so prominent as in the United States; nowhere else have women been so useful, so essential in moral and intellectual progress or played a role so considerable in the upbuilding of the nation. I like and admire these remarkable women." pays the old Frenchman: "not only for their intelligence and prodigious activity, but also for the noble ideas they have so courageously followed." Pretty fine bouquet. And Clemeaceau ought to know about American women he married one. $200 FOR QUEEN'S NIGHTIE LONDON, Jan. 11—Queen Victoria's nightgown brought $200 at an auction for the benefit of Brighton hospital. With conceit you may think you can conquer the whole world only to find that you have fooled yourself. Rockliffe Followes, a Canadian actor of both stage and screen, was selected to play opposite Miss Windser because of his long training, his proved ability and his physical appearance and bearing. Hobart Bosworth was induced by Mr. Neilan to forego work on his own next production in San Francisco to go to Los Angeles and act the role of old Shane Butler Keogh in "The Strangers' Banquet" out of friendship. The two men were actors together—Neilan as a novice and Bosworth as a veteran—in the old Selig days. Claude Gillingwater has had an equally successful career on the speaking stage—first in musical comedy and vaudeville and in dramatic leads. He was featured by John Golden for two seasons in Austin Strong's "Three Wise Fools" and then went west for his son's health and became attracted to the possibilities in motion pictures. Eleanor Boardman is a comparative newcomer to the screen, having been selected last year by Robert McIntyre, Goldwyn's casting director out of 4000 applicants in New York City, as the most promising screen material. Stuart Holmes is one of the most capable screen villains in the business. Not that his role in the Neilan photoplay is so unusually villainous but he has the coloring, the suavity and polish which are associated with villains. Nigel Barrie has a long list of stage successes to his credit and is rapidly increasing his screen successes. Thomas Holding is cast as a labor agitator in Mr. Neilan's production. He supported many notable English stars before acting on the American stage. Other well known players in the cast of "The Strangers' Banquet" include Ford Sterling, Eugenia Basserer, Margaret Loomis, Tom Guise, Lillian Langdon, William Humphrey, Edward McWade, Lorimer Johnson; James Marcus, Edward W. Borman; Jack Curtis, Brinsley Shaw, Arthur Hoyt, Alleen Pringle, Virginia Ruggles, Cyril Chadwick, Phil McCul- TOMORROW MOTH PICTURE!

In more ways than one it departs from well-known precedents and for that reason alone it should commend itself to the discriminating. Much skill is shown in telling the story of a baby branded with the sign of the cross by a drunken Cossack, to grow up in America ignorant of his Jewish parents, until his father, by accident, sees the scar and recognizes his son in the wealthy youth engaged to marry the father of a man who, for religious reasons hats the race from which the son comes. This is the uncommon screen situation unfolded in William V. Mong's story and it becomes poignant with the Jewish father's refusal to claim relationship and, as he thinks, humiliate his son. J. I. Frothingham has staged the picture with lavishness from which taste is not absent. Everything has its proper place and nothing is emphasized beyond its due. The result is that "The Woman He Loved" is an excellent example of the modern photoplay.
