UNITED THEATER, 200 E. CENTER Tomorrow Sat. Mat. & Nite "PIONEER TRAILS" A PULSATING STORY OF THE EARLY WEST WITH Alice Calhoun Cullen Landis TONIGHT RUBE MILLER'S COUNTRY STORE and "AT THE SIGN OF THE JACK O'LANTERN" LANDIS PROVES EXPERT IN SADDLE, SAVES GIRL Cullen Landis proves himself an excellent horseman in "Pioneer Trails," a Vitagraph special production, which will be shown at the United Theatre on Friday and Saturday. The play demands a thrilling episode in which Landis hauls a runaway stage coach, saving the lives of the occupants. Landis is called upon to race up to the stage and leap on the back of one of the leading horses and halt them in their flight. During the making of this scene along a precipitous roadway in the mountains, Cullen misjudged the distance in leaping to the stage horse. The momentum of the jump carried him well over the horse by dragging on them with all his weight he succeeded in getting the horse under control and in finally stopping the stage. Alice Calhoun and Dwight Crittenden were two prominent stars who were riding in the coach when this near mirap occurred. Cameramen and other members of the cast who were watching the taking of this daring scene were literally on their knees praying for the lives of those on the coach when for a time it appeared all would be hurled over the mountain side to a terrible death. This action forms an important sequence in the story of "Pioneer Trails." Through it Jack Plains, played by Cullen Landis, meets MELLON TAX ACCOUNT MAY NOT PAY WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 Mellon plan of tax reduction not such formidable oppose both senate and house that liean leaders were private coding today it cannot be in its present form. Congress will reduce that much is assured by actions. And the program down by Secretary Mellon will for the basis of reduction the coalition between Demand and La Follette insurgents a matter of record, has viti assured the defeat of many Mellon rates. Republican们 are not acknowledging defection, as that would be "bad egy" but in the privacy of rooms and conference rooms conceded.

Secretary Mellon pro these sur taxes be reduced 50% to 25%. The democratic posed 44%. The La Follette agents was 65%. As matters stood today, years probable to both demand and republican leaders that are promise between 25% and is the most likely solution and suggested figure is 40%. While the republicans ration control of this situ actually the democrats are powerful than the republicans the reason that the democrats plan of heavy reduction on income and only slight reduction on the so-called "millionaires" more nearly coincides what the invigrants want, democratic plan has been shy drawn with just that object. The play demands a thrilling episode in which Landis hails a runaway stage coach, saving the lives of the occupants. Landis is called upon to race up to the stage and leap on the back of one of the leading horses and halt them in their flight. During the making of this scene along a preclipsitous roadway in the mountains, Cullen misjudged the distance in leaping to the stage horse. The momentum of the jump carried him well over the horse in front. For a moment he hung his head downwards between the wildly galloping animals. He struggled desperately to regain his balance, while the six horses drawing the coach raced on unchecked as the reins were broken. For many moments it seemed as if Landis and the occupants of the coach would be hurled to death as the stage roared around dangerous mountain curves. Gradually, by sheer strength, Landis slowly regained his balance and threw himself, astirde one of the horses. He seized the reins and FAST TEAM WILL BATTLE ANAHEIM Barry's Class Hats, one of the fastest semi-pro teams in Los Angeles, will contest with Anaheim Morelans Sunday at the High School field.

Local fans are congratulating Manager Vic Ruedy over the placing of Doty Bush with the Denver club of the Western league. Ruedy and Ray Falks of the Denver club are former teammates. Ruedy tipped Falks to Bush's abilities with the result that Anaheim's crack infielder will report for spring training in March. Ruedy had a contract in his pocket for another team for Bush but Falks acted first. Ruedy says Bush is going to a nice berth where he will be given every opportunity to make good. He will find Joe Berger, the man who developed Jimmy Dowell, the best kind of an infield coach. C. C.

CHANGE OWNERSHIP OF PIGGLY WIGGLY MEMPHIS, Jan. 10.-Possibility of complete ownership for the Piggy-Wiggly stores loomed today when it was announced in financial circles here that Norman Staples, who a few months ago came here in the guise of a minor employee, is in reality a multi-millionaire, said to be representing certain New York interests which seek to obtain control of the corporation. The belief was current in financial circles here that the headquarters of Piggy-Wiggly will be moved to New York in the event Staples acquires control. While the republicans are ration control of this situe actually the democrats are powerful than the republicans, the reason that the democrats plan of heavy reduction on income and only slight reduction on the so-called "millionaires" more nearly coincides what the invurgents want, democratic plan has been shown drawn with just that object.

MELLON TAX ACT MAY NOT PASS WASHINGTON, Jan. 10—The mellon plan of tax reduction has much formidable opposition in both senate and house that Republican leaders were privately coming today it cannot be passed its present form. Consensus will reduce taxes at much is assured by all facets. And the program laid down by Secretary Mellon will attend the basis of reduction, but a coalition between Democrats and La Follette insurgents, new matter of record, has virtually surreptitiously defeated many of the mellon rates. Republican leaders not acknowledging defeat publicly, as that would be "bad strategy," but in the privacy of cloakrooms and conference rooms it is encoded. As a result of the developments during the week that congress has been back from the holidays, the consensus of opinion among republicans, democrats and insurgents was that no finally adopted tax reduction will represent a promise between the Mellon era and the Democratic plan—particularly with respect to surpass on large incomes. Secretary Mellon proposed one cut taxes be reduced from 25% to 20%. The democrats probed 44%. The La Follette insurance was 65%. As matters stood today, it appears probable to both democrat republican leaders that a compromise between 25% and 44% is the most likely solution and the suggested figure is 40%. While the republicans are in control of this situation finally the democrats are more careful than the republicans for reason that the democratic of heavy reduction on small homes and only slight reductions so-called "millionaire homes" more nearly coincides with that invigorates want. The democratic plan has been shrewd-drawn with just that object in mind.

This loss is thrashed that of any previous year. Officers were elected CARPENTIER MAY FIGHT GIBBONS By DAVIS J. WALSH (1 N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—A bent between Fen Gibbons, St. Paul heavyweight challenger, and Georges Carpentier, the exotic bombardier, was cooking merrily today as the result of a conference between Eddie Kane, Gibbons manager, and Tex Rickard. It is almost certain that Gibbons and Carpentier will oblige in the opening number of the outdoor season and it may be that Thomas will take on Turney at the Garden within six weeks. Kane would neither deny nor affirme the foregoing program. "Gibbons will take on Tunney, McTague, Grub, Renault and in fact the entire field," Kane said. "After that, Dempsey. We are making no secret of the fact that our campaign is directed toward another match with the champion." However, I want to say now that I have been negotiating with Jim Mullen, western promoter, and will take no definite action until I hear further from him." This last statement is said to come under the head of sweet peas garnished with apple sauce. Gibbons is again in need of "background" following his activity after sticking 15 rounds with Dempsey at Shelby. Only Rickard can supply the need. He has most of the big timers, including Carpentier, locked in office safe and it is altogether unlikely that Dempsey himself will attempt to do business with another promoter. LAST NIGHT'S FIGHTS MONTEREAL — Jack Renault, Canada, won decision over Joe White, Alabama, eight rounds. HAVANA — Chief Matoquah, Oklahoma Indian, knocked out Antonio Flero, second round. Edward Roace knuckled out Joe Palmer, New York, second round. PERMANENT DECREE PROVIDENCE, R. L., Jan. 10.—Judge Chester W.

CALL OF THE CANYON" FILMED BY PARAMONT Zane Grey is probably the biggest name in modern American fiction. Every one of his books sells over a million copies. "The Call of the Canyon" is the second Zane Grey story to be produced by Paramount. It ran as a serial in the Ladies Home Journal and has since been published as a novel. It is a story of Fifth Avenue and the Mojave Desert. Of frivolous New York society and the stern life of the western ranges, of a pair of society wasters—a man and a beautiful girl—and the effect which the great open spaces of the west has upon their souls and their love. The contrasting backgrounds of New York jazz parties and the struggles and feuds of the Arizona cattle country, the man-to-man fights and the love—rivalries, and the rapid-fire thrills with which the plot is packed, make this in every respect an outstanding picture of any season. The picture which will be shown at the California starting tomorrow tells of Carley Burch, a daughter of the rich, who is engaged to be married to Glenn Kilbourne, a World War veteran. He becomes disgusted with the shallowness of their frivolous society life and gladly obeys his doctor's orders to go to Arizona for his health. Glenn stays with an Arizona ranching family, the Hutters, and Flo, the daughter of the house, falls in love with him. But he is true to Carley, though he wavers. Carley, still deeply in love with him, journeys out to Arizona to see him. The crudeness of everything disgusts her. She attends a ranch dance in a very decollete evening gown and is insulted by a sheep-herder. Glenn licks him. She tries to get Glenn to go back East with her but he will not go. SHE returns home to live her old life only to find it tasteless! In her absence, Glenn, to save Flo Hutter's life and in gratitude for her devotion, is about to marry her when Carley returns to Arizona. Flo realizes that her love for Glenn is vain and in the church she sees-Carley. Flo leaves and Glenn and Carley look at each other with the full assurance that their troubles are over. The climax is strong and effective. The featured players in this strong picture are Riehard Dix, Lois Wilson and Marjorie Daw. The principal supporting players are Noah Beery, Ricardo Cortez and Fred Huntley. Victor Fleming directed. MAYOR OF VENTURA SUED FOR DIVORCE VENTURA, Jan. 10.—Two sensational developments occurred here today in connection with the suit for divorce filed against Mayor Charles Rea in which Mrs. Rea charges she found her husband in company with Mrs. Gertrude Strong, Santa Paula widow at Mrs. Strong's home.
