A drama of evil passions and exalted love, and how the silences of the great Sahara brought peace and happiness into shattered lives.

LAST TIMES TONIGHT Eille Norwood as Sherlocke Holmes in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" A Conan Doyle's Thrilling Mystery Story MYSTERIOUS SAHARA VISUALIZED IN FILM The lure of the desert, the spell of burning sands, the brooding and mystery of the Sahara—these fascinations have inspired musicians, poets and novelists for centuries; and now comes another photoplay to visualize it all. "When the Desert Calls" will be shown at the United theatre tomorrow, with Violet Heming heading a cast which includes Robert Frazer, Sheldon Lewis, Huntley Gordon and J. Barney Sherry. Ever since Robert Hchens wrote "The Garden of Allah" fifteen years ago and brought the desert up to date, so to speak, the subject has acquired new interest for the multitude. From a place of mystery it has become a perfect setting for romance and adventure, such as Edith M. Hull wrote about in "The Shelk" a novel by the way, which went the rounds of the publishers for no less than nine years before one could be found to bring it out. And it is adventure of the most thrilling sort that abounds in "When the Desert Calls." Yet it is a story quite like any other with a desert background. To begin with, the plot concerns a young married couple, Americans, who live in a town on the brink of the Sahara, where the husband is cashier of a bank. There is no lurking sheik, no dancing girl of Araby to flaw their happiness. It is complete within themselves. Time now to place out Roses, Ornamentals and bedding plants. We here them in stock. The Flower MASON'S CORNER STYLES IN PICTURES The Metro wardrobe department took on the appearance of the yardage goods section of a well-stocked department store when the opening scenes of "Quincy Adams Sawyer," now at the California theatre, were filmed. The quaint story of New England life, from the pen of Charles Felton Pidgin, which was produced by the S-L (Sawyer-Lubia) organization for Metro, has followed out in careful fidelity the fashion prevailer in that section of the country in the period in which the action is laid. Bolts upon bolts of materials, from rich satins and silks to cheap prints and muslins, were piled high in every corner of the spacious wardrobe department of Metro's Hollywood studios to furnish the costumes of the several prominent feminine players engaged for the feature production. All will conform to the styles of Mason's Corner, familiar to all readers of "Quincy Adams Sawyer," where modesty is the keynote rather than modishness. "Quincy Adams Sawyer" was directed by Clarence G. Badger. The scenario is the work of Bernard McConville.

His subject was "The Gentleness of God." The text was: "Thy gentleness hath made me great, a portion of Psalm 18:35. "We generally think of God's majesty and power when we think of him at all. We have no trouble in turning to God in the time when nature swept past us in her majesty. When the flames leap from roof to roof and lick up a whole city leaving thousands and hundreds of thousands homeless we naturally cry to God for help. So with storm, earthquakes and pestilence. "Modern science has emphasized the magnitude of the universe. Astronomy tells us that light traveling at the inconceivable rate of 187,000 miles a second, 93 millions of miles an hour takes years to reach the earth from the nearest star. We have to stand back 93 millions of miles to keep from getting scored by the sun. One the other hand science has opened up new vistas beneath our feet. Each atom is now known to be a universe in itself held at equilibrium by a balance of forces, that if released would work untold destruction. "But this is only one aspect of nature and does not by no means under mine faith in the Christian view of God. Nature also speaks to us of the gentleness of God. There are the silent stars at night; dawn on a summer morning; sunset and evening star; June meadows abloom with clover; the music of the runnel; flowering on the crag of the mountain; infancy everywhere and motherhood to match it. "We need not be bullyragged by materialistic views of the universe that would exclude God. There is a meaning in things, a purpose working itself out.

FIRST NEW MOTOR TAGS APPEAR FEB. 1 The Division of Motor Vehicles reports 40,000 registrations ready for delivery on 1923 renewals. These registrations have been received, numbered and placed in readiness for shipment. They will go forth from the Motor Vehicle Department Jan. 31, and it is contemplated the first black and white numbers, representing the 1923 registration, will appear on Feb. 1. Automobile registrations to date for 1922 have reached the grand total of 816446. Figuring on the normal increase of last year the department has authorized the making of 1,000,000 plates for 1923. It is the confident expectation of the Motor Vehicle Department that the passenger automobile registrations for 1923 in California will surpass every state in the Union. Applications for 1923 registrations are pouring into the Department in large quantities by mail daily. Will H.Marsh, department head, wishes to emphasize the fact, that it is not necessary for the resident of any city in which there is a branch of the department to make application in the respective city in which he is located. Registrations from Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Freeso can as well be made by mail to the Sacramento office as can the registration of any other applicant from any other part of the State. The simplest way for any applicant to register his vehicle is to procure his certificate from the car, place check thereon and mail to Sacramento. For those who desire to wait until the branch offices open for counter business, deliveries will be made on Feb. 1, and thereafter.Registrants have 30 days in which to procure their licenses before a penalty accures. CALIF. TO WELCOME We need not be bullyragged by materialistic views of the universe that would exclude God. There is a meaning in things, a purpose working itself out. Professor Henderson of Harvard has pointed out that the gases hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and their stable compounds must be thought of as having a direct relation to the sustenance of plant and animal life. The inorganic supports the organic and man crowns the whole creation. “If we are to get what nature has to say about God we must not study it apart from man. Man is knit up closely with the whole animal kingdom. So if we wish to know what nature has to say about God we must read the whole history of man upon the earth. “And man learns, attains, climbs. Wherever he began or however, he has come to mastery of natural forces and has gained in control over himself. At the same time he has learned to co-operate. These things indicate progress. So also we must take into consideration the new opportunity of the child, the new place won by woman, the comfort provided for old age, our modern care of the sick and the orphaned. “But if we must take man into account that means that we must listen to what the babes and sages have to say, the poets, musicians, philosophers, the prohets and all the helpers of man, including Moses and Budha, Socrates and Jesus. And as we study these facts we see that this is a good world for folks and a world in which evil is pressed to the wall. “It was the supreme insight of Jesus that God cares. No greater words were ever spoken than: “Your Heavenly Father is kind.” That is there is an Eternal Good Will at the center of the Universe controlling all things and it is his will that not one of us should perish. And this Good Will presses down to our need to rescue us. “But the word of our text is not that this is the fact but that this view of God makes for the greatness of man. I think we see this instantly. If we had to believe that there were a Devil or an Idiot at the center of all things, we could not go on with our lives; existence would be intolerable. Or if we had to think that a Blind Fate or some material Force were grinding on forever their highest aspirations would wither. But this view of God which is the bequest of Christ to mankind enlarges our hopes and steadies our wills and gladdens our hearts. “Let me illustrate this fact. Henry Ward Beecher was raised under the old time Calvinistic views that God has forecordained some to be damned and some to be saved. He began MOVIE STARS TELL ENGAGEMENT DEL MONTE, Cal., Jan. 29.—P. A Negri, who spurned the love of princes, has been vamped at last—by the king of film comedians. It is reported that a world-known insurance company has wagered more than $1,000,000 that Miss Negri would not wed—in other words, that her intentions of the state of single blessedness had been insured for that amount. The announcement of her engagement would mean—if this report is true—that the insurance concern will forfeit a fortune. teachings. He had heard the word of God that it is the will of the Heavenly Father that not one of us should perish but that all men should be saved, should find the good in the world and ally themselves with it. One day out in the woods beyond Cineinatti this truth of God broke upon his mind and he ran through the forests shouting: “Glory, God is love.” That discovery ripened into conviction in the heart of Beecher changed the climate of all American Christianity. “Tolstol, born to wealth and having achieved a place of great eminence in letters, reading the Gospels one day, discovered that his own life was selfish and mean. He became a changed man and set out to help the unfortunate and to creat brotherhood and hope around the world. We may not agree with all of Tolstol’s views but he must be written down as one of the great benefactors of the human race and that because he attained the Christian view of God. “Bushnell, the greatest theologian America has produced, was for years a successful pastor only to come to a time when he felt that he had fallen short of the Christian ideal. He labored to attain what he felt was for him. One morning he awoke his wife from her sleep to tell her that he had seen the Gospel. He had come to a new vision of God, God as redeeming grace in the world and Bushnell became a new man. It was out of this experience that his great power came. “It is the purpose of religious faith Christian faith, to give us this vision of God that our souls may live. The greatness of Psalmist was thinking of spiritual, was goodness, and this comes only in the fellowship of the Supreme Goodness.

Badger Bernard McConville from Charles Felton Pidgin's novel Quincy Adams Sawyer The greatest home-folks' story ever written 20,000 INCOMES OF $5,000 IN SO. CALIF. Approximately 20,000 So. Calif., folks who paid tax last year on net incomes in excess of $5,000 will receive copies of Form 1040, on which they must make returns for 1922, in today's mail. Taxpayers who paid tax on net incomes of less than $5,000 for 1921, and who have graduated into the more than $5,000 class, are cautioned by Collector Goodcell to procure Form 1040 and make return on it instead of on Form 1040 A which they used for 1921 when their net incomes were less than $5,000. The Collector laid down the following rules governing the use of Form 1040: You must file your return on Form 1040— (a) If the combined net income of husband and wife exceeds $5,000. (b) If your net income exceeds $5,000. (c) If the net income reported in this return exceeds $4,000 and the entire family exemption has been claimed in a separate return filed by husband and wife. (d) If the return is filed for a period of less than one year and the net income when placed on an annual basis exceeds $5,000. Revenue officials estimate that the class of taxpayers filing 1040 returns for 1922 will pass the 25,000 mark. More than 150,000 copies of Form 1040 A, on which net incomes of less than $5,000 are reported, have been mailed to taxpayers. For the year 1921, the total numbers of returns filed was 190,000, and Collector Goodcell believes the 225,000 mark will be passed for 1922 returns. AGED WOMAN PASSES AWAY Mrs. Mary A. Frantz, 85, mother of Captain W. G. Frantz of the So. Calison Co. of Fullerton, died this morning. The body is being held at the McAulay funeral parlor. Funeral arrangements are to be announced later. AT LAST, SOMETHING NEW WITH THEATER Everyone is looking for something different. Whether it be food, clothing, fads, or entertainment, it is the same thing when it comes to something new. Coming to the Fairyland theater to morrow will be something entirely different in theatrical presentation. The word "new" has been much abused in the theater world, but this time, "new" is the only word to use. Herb Jack, famous for his novel offerings in this field, will present his "Advershow", and it is a scream in which the entire audience takes part. The stage is entirely covered with all kinds of goods resembling a store. Before the conclusion of the performance, everything in this presentation is given away to those attending. It may be tires for the machine, a baby dress or a box of Shredded Wheat. Whatever it might be, it is handed out to the patrons without cost. An intermixture of comedy takes place during the show (and all have a very happy time). In adition, the Fairyland will present "The Cowboy King," one of the snappiest Western pictures ever shown on a local screen. The prices for adults will be 28 cents and the kiddies will be admitted for 17 cents. HOTEL CALIFORNIA GUESTS New guests at the California Hotel, Fullerton, Irwin Sutton, Anaheim, W. R.
