Tuesday, Jan. 16, 1923 Imprisoned In a Castle By a Prince Who Loved Her! Imagine a beautiful American heiress held captive by a handsome young Prince—Imagine her predicament when the nobleman makes love to her—offers her his throne as well as his heart—and a fabulous fortune if she will become his Princess! DID SHE ACCEPT? WOULD YOU ACCEPT? OR WOULD THE PRINCE'S KISS REVOLT YOU? See Glorious Ethel Clayton In "IF I WERE QUEEN" See Glorious Ethel Clayton In “IF I WERE QUEEN” MR. & MRS. CARTER DE HAVEN IN “XMAS” Life of Abraham Lincoln Good Music Tuesday and Wednesday UNITED THEATRE ANAHEIM “The GILDED LILY” AT THE CALIFORNIA What is regarded by many as the most elaborate stage presentation yet presented upon the California theater stage is Jack Retlaw’s “The Gilded Lily” now showing. This unusual feature, starring the city’s favorite, Yvonne Farr, is a replica of a song and dance creation featured by Mae Murray, the noted picture star, and generally regarded as the world’s most brilliant dancer. Miss Farr, gowned in a stunning dance costume of black velvet trimmed with gold brocade, and wearing a huge ostrich and peacock head-dress used originally by Mae Murray herself, handles the specialty in a manner that wins tremnedous plaudits. The setting, an elaborate royal purple drape, flanked by mammoth drape wings and decorated with two immense vases 8 feet in height, lends a striking picture. A golden BIG LOCOMOTIVE IS REGULAR GIANT PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.—As a forerunner of future electrification of the heavily graded main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad over the Alleghonies, one of the largest electric locomotives for freight service in the world is being tested out by the road on the stiff grades between Philadelphia and Paoli, Pa. The locomotive was built in the company’s own shops to the design of their engineers and develops a tactive effort of 87,200 pounds which makes it necessary to use it only as a “pushed.” If it pulled a train it would jerk the drawbar couplings out of the cars itself its tremendous strength. Fleur de lis rests directly in the rear of the platform occupied by Miss Farr, down which Miss Farr dances exquisitely completes the novel effect. Ingeniously hidden lights form a rainbow of coloring which opens the scene as Marguerite Eyes, the organist, plays “Chasing Rainbows.” The building usalem is also wonderful picture.

P.H. M. Closkey CLOTHIER 3 Doors East of California Theater FEATURE FILM OF PALESTINE SHOWN The California Expedition which under the direction of Lionel Sterling, made the great Feature Travelogue of the Holy Land entitled, "The Cradle of Civilization," which is to be shown at the White Temple Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock and the following evening, at 8 o'clock at the St. Catherine's School, is the only Expedition ever sent from America to photograph official scenes of that famous land. Some of the scenes shown in this great picture were very hard to get, especially the scene of the Holy Rock of the Mohammedans, in the Mosque of Omar. There is a Mohammedan tradition that on the day of judgement God will establish his throne on this rock. The Mohammedans worship this rock in a fanatical manner, and the showing of many scenes connected with Mohammedan life of Jerusalem and the Holy Land is certainly instructive and interesting. The Church of the Holy Scriptures in which is the Tomb of Christ, is a very imposing structure. The Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre covering the Tomb is a very wonderful work of art. After the showing of the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre, one is lead by wonderful and easily understood titles to the scene showing the Tomb of our Saviour. The building progress of New Jerusalem is also shown in this wonderful picture. Machinery of the New World is being used to great advantage in the making of wide beautiful streets and modern beautiful buildings. Many scenes treating with the daily life of the citizens of Palestine, both Jewish and Mohammedan, are to be seen in this great picture. Most wonderful is the distant views of the Holy City, showing the towers and walls and great Temples of the sacred city. The scenes showing the Stations SELL TICKETS FOR "BOHEMIAN GIRL" Ellis Rhodes, talented director of the Orange-co Choral Union which presents the Bohemian Girl at the Anaheim H.

S. Auditorium. Reserved seats can be obtained beginning today at Heying Bros. Pharmacy for $1.00 each, including reservation. Other seats are obtainable at 75c and 50c.

Many scenes treating with the daily life of the citizens of Palestine, both Jewish and Mohammedan, are to be seen in this great picture. Most wonderful is the distant views of the Holy City, showing the towers and walls and great Temples of the sacred city. The scenes showing the Stations of the Cross are wonderfully photographed. The picture also shows the Dead Sea, the shores of which are the lowest part of the earth's surface not covered by water. Other wonderful scenes are Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus; the Mount of Olives, with a shaft of light moving across it; Aceldama, or Field of Blood; Elisha's Fountain; Good Samaritans' Inn; the Prophet David buildings; containing the chamber of the last supper and the tomb of David; the Church of the Nativity; Bethany, where Christ restored Lazarus to life; ruins of the house of Martha and Mary; Apostle's Fountain; Virgin's Fount; the Sea of Galilee and countless other wonderful scenes. A most difficult task was encountered in completing this great picture; for after photographing 100,000 feet of film it was then taken to Italy to be developed and printed. After the negative was developed in Italy, it was found that all the film was ruined, through an accident in the developing process. This necessitated the Expedition returning to the Holy Land, at further great expense, to take all of the picture over again. The negative of a motion picture is usually developed right after it is photographed, and to leave it for months in an undeveloped state, as necessary with the Palestine Expedition, is a most unusual thing, and generally a very expensive proposition. Immediately the picture was remade, it was shipped to America to be developed and printed; the Expedition waiting in the Holy Land to hear how this second picture turned out. It was indeed a happy Expedition after the receiving of the cable from America saying that the picture had turned out perfect; and a month later the Expedition landed in New York well pleased with their hard work and the results that they had achieved in the Holy Land. Thus was made at an expense of many thousands of dollars, the World's greatest Feature Travelogue of Palestine. There will be no charge to see this great Palestine Picture Tuesday and Wednesday evening, and everyone is invited to attend these showings.

It is difficult to tell who is who since the costume drama has come into its most popular vogue and has caused a marked shifting around in the casting of pictures. Take "Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood," a United Artists release coming to the Fairyland Theater next Sunday for instance. Douglas Fairbanks, the star and producer of this biggest of all romantic photoplayss, made some wide departures from traditions in selecting his supporting cast for this most ambitious milfoil his brilliant career. Wallace Benny creator of sucering braggarts and vicious men in general, has the heroic role of King Richard Coeur de Lion in this super-production. He has become the defender of right, the same right he has been trampling on so ruthlessly in his customary villainous screen characterizations. Allan Hale is another "heavy" who has turned his back on past wickedness. He plays the part of Little John, Robin Hood's aide-de-camp in his exploits of valor. One of the more interesting transformations is that of Enid Bennett, heretofore associated chiefly with the roles of the neglected wife in modern society stories. She plays the Maid Marian in "Robin Hood" and presents a veritable portrait of a glorious princess.
