UNITED THEATER, 206 E. CENTER TONIGHT 10c-25c-35c THE JOURNEY'S END WITH WYNDHAM STANDING AND MABEL BALLIN "It has more imagination to a reel than the usual programme feature has in six." It's one of the real novelties of the season, too, for there isn't a single sub-title in it. MONTE BANKS IN "A COLD RECEPTION" TOMORROW NITE RUBE MILLER'S COUNTRY STORE 42-PIECE DINNER SET GIVEN AWAY "JOURNEY'S END" IS MASTERPIECE If any one should have made a prediction that the day would come when dramatic pictures would be made without a single subtitle, he would undoubtedly be considered either a theorist or a dreamer, and yet such a dream has been accomplished in "The Journey's End." There is not a single subtitle in it, * * * and yet the action is crystal-clear. This feat has been accomplished by intelligent construction, more intelligent direction, and skillful acting. "The Journey's End" is a masterpiece, no matter from which angle it is viewed. The interest of the spectator is so aroused that he becomes a participant in the unfolded drama; the story is so different that it should prove a relief to the picture-goer who has been bored by so much sameness.

WALSH I. N. S. Sports Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Evacuated the most ingenious minds, having contracted the daily habit of taking typewriter in hand to parade the most desirable players on our of-town clubs to the Giants and Yankees, are admitting today that all player deals concocted have evaporated into thin air. It is freely admitted that they aren't the slightest chance at the time that Eddie Collins will be come a Yankee, or Rogers Hornsby, Charley Hollocher and Rabbit Maranville will play for the Giants. This is the only reaction from yesterday's schedule meeting. The auction block is empty, the trading mart silent and the ballyhoo dead. New York baseball clubs will appear, as was, for the 1924 season. It is the least productive of an off-seasons in the matter of player exchanges. It seems that Powell is said to have a bad leg and Arthur Fletcher of the Phillies is included to call the police. He wants a good leg on Powell and defines information as to the immediate whereabouts of his wanderer Tierney tonight. The deal, he says, was one of two transactions during the present off-season, the other being Cleveland-Boston business, where the Indians connived to bring about the return of George Burry. Tris, of course, tried hard. Cobb has put in the entire winter clamoring for a second baseman. He alternately made efforts for Jimmy Dykes and B Wambaganas away from Philadelphia and Cleveland, respectively, but to no purpose. Dykes still in Philadelphia and Wambaganas has gone to Boston. single subtitle in it, * and yet the action is crystal-clear. This feat has been accomplished by intelligent construction, more intelligent direction, and skillful acting. "The Journey's End" is a masterpiece, no matter from which angle it is viewed. The interest of the spectator is so aroused that he becomes a participant in the unfolded drama; the story is so different that it should prove a relief to the picture-goer who has been bored by so much sameness. Director Hugo Ballin should be congratulated for this accomplishment. Mabel Ballin does excellent work; so does all the supporting cast. Pictures of this type add class and distinction to a theatre. "The Journey's End" will be shown at the United theatre tonight only. Two shows: 7:00 p.m. and 8:45. There is also another of the famous Monte Banks comedies, "A Cold Reception." What promises to be one of the annual box office attractions of the season has just been uncovered. Wm. F. Alders' "The Isle of Vanishing Men" has earned the title of "The Wonder Picture." Having just been released it has set two unique records. It is the first photoplay to go back into a first-run Los Angeles theatre for a second run. It is playing its second run at Clune's Broadway theatre. The second record it holds being the extraordinary announcement of its hold-over for a second week at the Piekwick theatre, San Diego, where it opened to record-breaking business, Mr. Hill, the house manager, stated that it had toped any attraction opening at his theatre for the past season. It will be shown for two days here in Anaheim at the United theater, Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee of this week. It is the most amazing cinema sensation of all times and giving a photographic record of unparalleled adventures among man-eating cannibal tribes of the Malay islands.

Penman, surgical nurse of the Medical service corps at Santa Fe Springs reported to the sheriff's office today that two men held him up early this morning with the declaration that they were looking for "dope." A woman seated in a nearby automobile, and evidently with the robbers, warned the bandits to be careful, Penman reported. Failing to find any narcotics, the bandits took none of Penman's valuables. The Shell Oil Co. service station at Fiftieth-st. and Santa Fe ave., was held up early today and robbed of $30 by two negro bandits, it was reported at the sheriff's office.

Dahl and Miss Lawson were seen together during the time they were here, attach of the hotel said. Miss Lawson left Jan. 10 New York but Dahl remained at the hotel, it was said.

Dykes is in Philadelphia and Wamby one to Boston. SARGUM PROUTINGS It looks as if the Firpo-Wills match is a sure thing for next summer, and Tex Rickard is not the promoter. This will be the first big fight in many moons held in New York that Tex did not skim the cream. Old Tex has taken the cream of so many big fights that he is pretty well set up in life and can afford to let some one else have one dish. Mr. Firpo split with Tex after the Dempsey go. The mit slinger from Argentina loves the elusive dollar as well as the next one and he thought Mister Tex was doing him out of a few. Anyway, the mighty Bull will fight his next battle in the U. S. with someone else holding the purse beside Tex. Next Sunday's ball game between the local Merchants and the Irvine Bean pickers should be a hot one. The Bean pickers got the jump on the series last Sunday when they lambasted the locals all over the Irvine lot. The locals have lost the last three games that they have played and they have blood in their eyes. No more of this small town stuff. They are going out to show the world just what they are capable of next Sunday. Red Billman who does the chucking for the Bean pickers is one of the best semi-pro pitchers in our midst and if the locals can drive him to cover they will have performed quite a fete. Phil Salvadore, who has been knocking them off at the Vernon awat mill, ran into a couple of reverences in his last two fights. Pretty boy, Joe Benjiman, received a clear verdict in their last scrap. Last night, Barbarian, a mit slinger from Detroit, mussed Mr. Salvadore un in great shape. COOLIDGE WILL PUSH OIL PROBE By GEORGE R. HOLMES I. N. S. Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—President Coolidge returned to the White House today, highly pleased with the results of his New York trip—his initial venture into the field of political speech-making away from the capital. Especially gratifying to the president and his political advisers was the reception of the announcement of the administration's position in the Teapot Dome scandal. No part of his speech was more applauded than when he said: "It is my duty to extend to every individual the constitutional right to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty." I want no hue and cry, no mingling of innocent and guilty in unthinking condemnation, no confusion of mere questions of law with questions of fraud and corruption. There will be immediate, adequate, unshrinking prosecution, criminal and civil, to punish the guilty and protect the national interest." The president takes the position that while Secretary Deny may have exceeded his authority under the law in transferring the naval oil lands to the interior department, there has been no evidence of anything corrupt in that departmental transaction. While pressure for Secretary Deny's immediate resignation has been considerably lessened in the face of the president's firm stand, it is nevertheless believed by administration leaders that it is only a question of time before the naval secretary will be compelled to retire—not because of wrong doing, but because once the government goes into court to recover the oil lands, Deny's position becomes untenable. Special counsel for the government shortly will begin legal proTODAY—LAST TIMES— 'A Woman of Paris' Written and Directed CHARLES CHAPLIN— "ONE PICTURE AMONG HUNDREDS—"IT'S GREAT ALL ANAHEIM IS TALK ABOUT IT.

Dykes is in Philadelphia and Wamby is in Boston. In the Fall Barney Dreyer placed Maranville on the field and it became known that a might be prevailed upon with Hollocher. Nothing of it. In fact, Pittsburgh trade Maranville for the reason that Glenn Wright, a shortstop, is a holdout of it. Hollocher will Chicago because Chicago is to want him.

Pretty boy, Joe Benjiamin, recevied a clear verdict in their last scrap. Last night, Barbarian, a mit singer from Detroit, mused Mr. Salvadore up in great shape in the last two rounds of the Vernon main event. Phil had the jump on the easterner and piled up a heavy margin in the first two rounds so they quit even but it was plainly demonstrated that in a longer fight Phil would have been nix. Little Toby Montoya won a start on the Vernon card a week ago. Last night Toby fighting in the special event knocked out Kid Raymond in the third round. The little orange picker is going like a house fire. Howard Empke, the Los Angeles high school lad of a few years back, is destined to go the way of Walter Johnson, pitch for a second class club all his days. Empke is one of the best pitchers in the game today and he is holding down a job with the Boston Red Sox. Empke has reached the top of his career and will be skidding down grade from now on. It is very unlikely that he will ever pitch on a pennant winner. GAGE CASE FRIDAY The case of Andrew Gage, charged with disorderly conduct, scheduled to come up today in Judge French's court, was positioned until 9:30 a.m. Friday. Gage is alleged to have interfered with the arrest of Jack Danlap, held sometime ago on the charge of reckless driving. Gage says the officers unmercifully beat him and that he was guilty of no offense other than a friendly salutation. MISS CORDES CAPTAIN Miss Evelyn Cordes, for three years player on the A. H. S. girls' baseball team, has been chosen captain of this year's crew. Miss Cordes has always played an exceptionally good game and will make good in her position. She plays left field.

Special counsel for the government shortly will begin legal proceedings to recover the oil lands through an attack on the legality of their transfer to the interior department and the validity of the contracts now held by Sinclair and Doheny interests. Secretary Deny contends he had the right to transfer these lands under the law; he contends the contracts are beneficial to the government and finally stated a week ago that if he were doing it all again he would follow precisely the same course he did follow. But there will be no hesitate about Secretary Deny's retirement. He will remain in the cabin until every vestige of the "hue and cry" referred to by the president has disappeared. Then, it is expected, he will quiet retire, his record clear and convicted of nothing more than a difference with his chief on a question of policy.

LEGION PASSES TAX RESOLUTION Following their announced intention to show that the attitude of the American Legion on tax reduction and the adjusted compensation bill had been grossly misrepresented a special meeting of the Anaheim post for discussion of the matter was Chaplin's Photoplay Made Without Script Possibly the most remarkable feature about the production of "A Woman of Paris," the first serious photoplay written and directed by Charles Chaplin and featuring Edna Purviance, and now showing at the California theatre under a United Artists release, is the fact that during the LEGION PASSES TAX RESOLUTION Following their announced intention to show that the attitude of the American Legion on tax reduction and the adjusted compensation bill had been grossly misrepresented a special meeting of the Anaheim post for discussion of the matter was called last night. Congress, it was stated, is at this time being flooded with letters which express the sentiment of a highly organized group representing only a small portion of the American public. A resolution outlining the stand of the Legion and urging the immediate sending of letters to congressmen and senators was adopted. According to the stand of the Legion as represented by last night's meeting the time for arguing in favor of adjusted compensation has long since passed. The American public, it is held, has overwhelmingly acknowledged the debt and seeks only to know whether or not payment at this time is possible. That the generally accepted statement that the payment of adjusted compensation would prevent the reduction of taxes is untrue, is the contention of the Legion, and in the resolution adopted an attempt is made to show why this is so. The Legion men claim that the public has not been told the truth about the matter and this they propose to do. They present some highly interesting facts and figures.

Chaplin's Photoplay Made Without Script Possibly the most remarkable feature about the production of "A Woman of Paris," the first serious photoplay written and directed by Charles Chaplin and featuring Edna Purviance, and now showing at the California theatre under a United Artists release, is the fact that during the entire making of the picture from the time of the conception of the story until the last of the final cutting, no script was used. This, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of film footage was shot, all of which had to go through a process of elimination selection and then had to be cut to its final footage of his brain. At is probable that this is the first time in the history of motion picture that such a feat has been accomplished—where one man created a story, directed it and then cut it without a line of continuity. Tomorrow (Thursday) brings the biggest vaudeville bill that Manager Tom Ingram has presented in Anaheim for many months. It is seldom that a bill is brought to town that contains three acts that are what is termed "feature acts," but this is the case in this instance, and Mr. Ingram has appealed through his advertisements, for the public to help him choose. It is safe to say that a record crowd will be out to see this big bill. HONOR LINCOLN Special honors were paid yesterday by the Fullerton Kiwanis club.
