BULL MONTANA IN "THE TWO TWINS" ROYAL STOCK OFFERS “GIRL IN LIMOUSINE” When Odds Are Ev Gives Russell Cha ROYAL STOCK OFFERS "GIRL IN' LIMOUSINE" "The Girl in the Limousine," New York's very latest farce comedy success, will be the bill for the Royal Stock Co. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the United Theatre. It has been heralded all through the cast and middle west as a six-cylinder, 90-horsepower racy farce comedy with screams of laughter and the funniest of situations from start to finish. Miss Edythe Elliott and Rodney Hildebrand again head the cast of capable players of the Royal Stock Co., and they and their lines, assisted by the other members of the cast, will keep you in roars of laughter throughout. And for the picture program, the management of the United has selected Jack Hoxie's latest production, "Men in the Raw." It is a hard-riding, swift-moving drama of the West, replete with sensations, thrills and daring horsemanship, and the action of the dramatic story teems with adventure. A sensational fight under water between Jack Hoxie and Tex Parker is one of the outstanding thrills of the picture. His rescue of Marguerite Clayton, who was dragged by an infuriated steer, or another exciting episode, Hoxie, in a daring leap from horseback, "buildogs" the steer. There is a thrilling plunge over a cliff, and several remarkable feats of horsemanship. The story deals with a modern Munchausen of the range, whose stories, told in camp, form the first part of the picture. Then follows a real-life adventure, in which Hoxie as the hero, battles to save the girl in the story. A daring chase over the plains, the thrilling water battle, and a remarkable scene in a cave, mark the high spots in the story. Throughout the thrills runs an intensive romance. And also on the screen will be shown the famous and handsome Bull Montana in one of his latest comedy riots "The Two Twins." And it's some comedy. You'll sure have the time of your life watching "the bool" and his funny antics.

"BIG BROTHER" THRILLING FILM Edith Roberts in Rex Beach's Paramount Picture "Big Brother" An Allan Dwan Production The new Paramount picture which is playing today for the final days showing at the California Theater yesterday, "Big Brother," an Allan Dwan production of the story by Rex Beach, is a bear for trolls; there is not lagging moment throughout its entire length. This is the greatest of Rex Beach's works—greatest because he wrote it from his heart. It is an altogether unusual production, in that it depicts graphically just what the Big Brother movement is endeavoring to accomplish throughout the world—the proper raising of the boys and youths—the future men of the land on whom the destiny of their country rests. It is the story of one "big brother," taken as a concrete example of what is to be generally expected from others the world over. O, yes, we were so absorbed in the picture itself that we almost forgot about the principals, and that would never do at all, for without the clever acting of Tom Moore, Edith Roberts and Mickey Dennett and the impressive character portrayal of Raymond Hatton, the vital theme of "Big Brother" would go for naught, and between both features, we also to remark once more, we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

BUYS OUT MITCHELL CO. In line with plans for factory expansion made necessary because of increasing demand for its product, the Nash Motors Co. has purchased the plants and sites of the Mitchell Motor Car Co. of Racine. Formal announcement of the purchase was made by C. W. Nash, president of Nash Motors, following conclusion of negotiations and formal ratification of the sale by creditors of the Mitchell Motor Car Co. The appraised valuation of the Mitchell buildings and land for forced sale is $1,000,000. The appraised valuation for replacement is far higher. President Nash's statement received by the Bob White Co. says: "The Racine factory buildings are ideally located for us, and they were purchased at this time because of plans for factory expansion under consideration by us for some time past and made advisable in view of the fast-growing demand for our cars." The Mitchell plants cover 36 acres of ground and have 500,000 square feet of floor space; they include one 4-story building 90x300 feet, the other buildings being one story structures of modern saw-tooth construction. When equipped by Nash Motors with modern machinery the new unit in the Nash production organization will be one of the finest automobile manufacturing plants in the country. The Racine factories are just ten miles north of the Nash "six" plant and general offices at Kenosha, and 20 miles south of the Nash 4-cylinder plant at Milwaukee, all three cities being on Wisconsin highway No. 15 and served by the Northwestern railroad. Acquisition of the Racine property gives Nash Motors 190 acres of ground devoted to the processes of production and the square feet of floor space amounts to a total of 2,900,000. The Kenosha and Milwaukee plants are of the most modern type, as is also the factory of the Seaman Body Corporation, of which one-half interest is vested in Nash Motors. The Florida Citrus Growers Hard Up Florida citrus growers are not very prosperous right now, according to a letter received by Wm. Sperber from his old acquaintance, F. T. Adams, of Pineland, Fl., who says: "I have not seen a dollar for over a year; only the one I borrow to pay taxes and expenses. I could not come to see you unless something turns my way soon as I have even got down to batching, Bill." "I have 5000 boxes of the finest fruit you ever looked at on the trees but can't get enough for it to pay packing expenses." In fact, I don't know of a packing house open and packing fruit. $100,000 FIRE LOSS ASTORIA, Ore., Feb. 9—Fire of undetermined origin early today did damage amounting to $100,000 to buildings, motor cars and equipment.
