Lytell at Best in "Sherlock Brown" Bert Lytell, the Metro star, will be seen in his latest photoplay, "Sherlock Brown," at the United theatre beginning tomorrow. This new picture, adapted for the screen by Lenore Coffee from a story by Bayard Veiller, is the story of an earnest, trusting young clerk whose life ambitions is to become a detective. Five dollars sent to a correspondence school brings him a shiny new badge which he proudly displays at his modest boarding chuse, to the amusement of some of the cynical and unsympathetic lodgers. He is not to be deterred by their ridicule, however, and though engaged in the grinding routine of his job as a clerk, his mind is filled with the ever present possibility that just around the corner may lie his opportunity to win fame and fortune as a sleuth. And sure enough one day he bumps straight into a mystery which has stirred the entire United States secret service. The secret formula for a powerful explosive has been stolen from a young lieutenant to whose custody it had been temporarily committed. Sherlock Brown follows the trail, finds the document, loses it through a trick of the conspirators and ultimately recovers it again after a series of most amusing adventures in which a sure-enough instinct as a crime hound is revealed. "Sherlock Brown" is a Bayard Veiller production for Metro. In the cast supporting Mr. Lytell are Ora Carew, Sylvia Breamer, Dewitt Jennings, Theodore Von Eltz, Wilton Taylor, Hardee Kirkland, George Barnum and George Kuwa.

LONDON'S PROPHECY PROVEN THRU FIRE (By International News Service) OAKLAND, July 12—"Jack always said fire wasn't hot enough to hurt this place. Water could do it, said he, if there be enough in the world, but it seems there isn't." So quoth old Johnny Heinhold, today as he directed workmen in their task of rehabilitating the "Last Chance Saloon." Johnny befriended Jack London, famous author, when he found shelter behind the bar of the Last Chance, a homeless ind of 14. It was in the Last Chance that Jack picked up from a dictionary the first rudiments of his writing ability and in later years he immortalized Johnny, who made possible his education in many books. Last night fire razed an adjoining structure. Water flooded the Last Chance. Firemen begged Johnny to leave. But with a big umbrella he held the fort, firm in the prophecy of Jack London that fire was not hot enough to destroy the Last Chance. AUSTRIA IMPORTS S.
