UNITED THEATER, 806 E. CENTER. AND ON THE SCREEN Alice Calhoun AND David Torrence IN “THE MAN NEXT DOOR” BY Emerson Hough Author of “THE COVERED WAGON” “NORTH OF 36” A dashing girl who can shoot, ride and rope a steer, is suddenly transformed into a beautiful society creature. She yearns for love! A comedy drama of pure heart interest laid in the great West and a great city. LAST TIMES TONIGHT, “THE MIDNIGHT ALARM” WITH CULLEN LANDIS AND ALICE CALHOUN Sunday - Monday - Tuesday PRESENTS The Royal Stock Co. EUGENE WALTER'S COMEDY DRAMA ‘PAID IN FULL’ WITH EDYTHE ELLIOTT and CHARLES ROYAL’ “PAID IN FULL” IS ROYAL CO. OFFERING FIRST HAIR CUT IN EIGHT MONTHS "PAID IN FULL" IS ROYAL CO. OFFERING "Paid in Full," Eugene Walter's great comedy drama, will be the Royal Stock Co.'s offering at the United Theater Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It is a companion piece to the play last week, "Bought and Paid For," and should make as big a hit. Miss Edythe Elliott is feeling much better and will be in the cast once more, thi stime as Emma Brooks. Mr. Royal also is in the cast playing the part of James Smith. He will furnish plenty of laughs. The balance of the parts will be acceptably taken care of by Maurice Chick, Will Chapman, Mary Mays and Jack Mozier. And on the screen will be shown one of the finest pictures of the west, with a wonderful cast and production. It is a faithful pictureization of "The Man Next Door," by Emerson Hough, author of "The Covered Wagon," "North of 36" and other virile American novels of the west. "The Man Next Door" has been read by millions in America and the pictureization has been made with great fidelity to the author's work. It has a remarkably strong cast, David Torrence, Frank Sheridan, James Morrison and Alice Calhoun playing the leading roles. The story is an intensely human comedy drama. It revolves around Bonnie Bell Wright, the tomboy daughter of a wealthy Wyoming cattleman. The motherless Bonnie Bell has been reared by the cow-punchers on a great ranch and when she is 16 years, DAVID TORRENCE AND ALICE CALHOUN Scene from the stirring picturization of "The Man Next Door," by Emerson Hough, author of "The Covered Wagon" and "North of 36." her father suddenly realizes that he must be educated and trained into a young lady of culture and refinement. When Bonnie Bell finishes her schooling in the East her father decides that she must enjoy the luxury his millions can provide in the city. FIRST HAIR CUT IN EIGHT MONTHS When Richard Barthelmess finished the production of "The Fighting Blade," he spoke the majestic word, "Haircut," to a barber for the first time in eight months. Early last winter, Dick let his hair grow long for the part of Charles Abbott in "The Bright Shawl," and when "'The Fighting Blade' was chosen for production, he let his hair grow still longer until it resembled the popular bob worn by the flapper of today. "You cannot imagine what sacrifice I made," Dick said. "Among my friends, of course, I felt quite at ease wearing long hair, but when I had to leave my home or the studio or the club to go elsewhere on business, I was forced to wear a hair-net or be the object of everybody's gaze. Now I am happy, though, playing a part in which I took pretty much like myself." Twenty-one," a First National release, produced under the direction of John S. Robertson, is closing its Anaheim engagement tonight. Sunday brings what may be termed the finest attraction that has been shown at the California in many months. This is the big comedy picture that had such a long run at Grauman's Rialto in Los Angeles, entitled "The Marriage Circle." This is an Ernest Lubitsch production, and with it he has earned for himself a far greater reputation than is accorded most directors. The marvel case includes Marie Prevost, Florence Vidor, Harry Myers, Monte WORLD AD MEET TO PEP UP BUSINESS LONDON, Feb. 21.—Advertising will be internationalized for the first time when the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World hold their annual convention in London beginning July 14.

This international aspect of the London convention is expected to be the chief feature of a gathering that will make advertising history. A five-day session of delegates from half the countries in the world will afford an opportunity for a discussion of advertising problems on broader lines than ever before has been possible. Committees of earnest British advertising men are ardently at work drafting the plans and making the arrangements for the convention. Arrangements for the reception, accommodation and entertainment of guests, for finance, for the program and the manifold other details that are involved are under way, but have not yet reached the stage where definite announcements can be made. COURSE IN YELLING AT STANFORD UNIV. PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 21.—College students stampeded to enroll when Stanford university's latest course—instruction in yelling—was opened. Lusty-lunged miles and timid-voiced coeds were included in students clamoring for admittance into the class-rooms where the latest twists and foibles in the art of cheering will be taught. Announcement has been made that various members of the Stanford faculty will give lectures on cheering. "treating the subject from both the theoretical and practical sides." Yell leaders will have charge of the practical instruction. "Bleacher Psychology" will be the subject of a lecture opening the course, by Professor Strong, of the psychology department. Professor Basset of the English section will speak on "Correct Use of the Voice," and Gordon Davis, dramatic coach, will have as his subject, "Development of the Stage Presence." "Bleacher Singing" will be discussed by Professor Warren D. Allen, organist and musician, and Coach Andy Kerr, football mentor, will tell the students about "What a Conch Expects from a Yell Leader." MELLON HITS BONUS EILL ANOTHER RAP (Continued From Page One) Representative LaGuardia, insurgent Republican of New York, wrote to Secretary Mellon and asked the secretary to state the exact needs of the treasury and whether the compromise rates suggested together with increased inheritance taxes and a gift tax which the insurgents and Democrats expect to write into the bill, would bring in sufficient revenues to meet treasury needs and leave sufficient money to pay a soldiers bonus as contemplated. LaGuardia stated there was concern among advocates of the bonus over statements that rates suggested in Mellon's plan and cuts made in taxes would not yield revenues to pay the bonus, and that the rates in the Gerner plan would produce even a smaller return. The house, LaGuardia declared, was strongly in favor of the bonus and realized that tax reduction and bonus must be considered together. Leaders in the drive for a soldier bonus are urging honeo leaders to push the bonus legislation and let it follow after the tax reduction bill. They want to get it before the senate as soon as possible realizing there will be delay in passing it thrue that body. President Coolidge has announced opposition to a bonus and they seek time to try conclusions with the president in an effort to override a veto. Heroism is what happens when a man gets excited enough to forget that he is afraid. Blue and Greighton Hale. In addition to the above special feature, Manager Ingram has engaged what is termed in Los Angeles picture theatre circles, as one of the most remarkable acts before the public. This is Prof. Charles F. Haynes, the nationally known psychologist. Mr. Haynes made a demonstration on the streets of Anaheim this afternoon, aiming as we go to press he has a very large crowd completely mystified with his performance. Starting Sunday matinee; Prof. Haynes will give a 30-minute demonstration of psychic phenomenon at each performance. ARM POWER PLANES MAY BE POSIBLE LONDON, Feb. 23.—"I have little doubt that it is now possible to design an aeroplane capable of flight by a man's muscular power." This statement was made by Colonel Ogilvie, famous British aeronautical expert during a speech on low-powered aeroplanes of the future at a scientific exhibition. "It will not be long," continued Ogilvie, "before we get light planes with a speed range of three to one, or twenty-five to seventy five miles per hour, with a cumption of one hundred and fifty miles to the gallon depending on speed." "Such a machine would have so good an angle of climb that with a little head wind it would be able to go up like a balloon." The church row is petering our nobody having been able to think up a good slogan. COAST FANS KEEP EYE ON DELANEY SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.—Jimmy Delaney, St. Paul boxer, is the latest battler to turn the heads of Pacific coast fans. Delaney is a pupil of Mike Gibbons, long known as the "uncrowned middleweight champion of the world." He is under the direction of Mike Collins, editor of the Boxing Blade, who had a hand as matchmaker in the ill-fated Dempsey-Gibbons bout at Shelby, Mont., last July 4. Since Collins and Gibbons grabbed Delaney less than two years ago, he has made rapid strides and is not far from the top in the light-heavyweight ranks. Delaney is an example of what good handling means in fistlana. He was formerly managed by Billy Rhodes of St. Paul, who sold Delaney's contract to Collins and Gibbons for something like $2000. While under Rhodes' guidance, Delaney was always in trouble. Several bouts during the time were postponed by Rhodes on account of Delaney's sore hands,bum feet, bad cuts and similar reasons. The St. Paul boy, when Rhodes had him, could never be depended upon to fight. He was an in- and-outter and didn't cut much of a figure even in his home town.The two Mikes—Gibbons and Collins—soon took out of Delaney any foolishness in his make-up.His appearance now anywhere in the country is a signal for a packed house and a guarantee the fans will get a show for their dough. The other night in Oakland Delaney hit Jack Reeves with everything except Promoter Simpson's sack of dough but Reeves weathered the stormy session and landed. BOWLING SPECIAL MATCH APPLEBY MOTORS CO.

Carrying an exhausted dog on the sledge before him, the young boy urged the remainder of his team over the last four miles of the trail in a desperate fight for that championship. SUNDAY BIG DAY FOR B. B. BUGS Tomorrow is a big day for local baseball fans. Oh the local city lot Southside Businessmen will be tearing at the hearts of the Northsiders and down at Irvine the local Merchants will be deciding the championship of Orange-co. The combat between the South and Northsiders will be awful. The way these old timers will murder each other will be terrible. It will be a case of the survival of the fittest and the side that has the most substitute players. The Irvine game promises to be a very torrid affair. It is the deciding game, Irvine having ran away with the first by a lopsided score and Anaheim taking the second by big odds. The Irvine boys are going to put up a real fight on their own grounds and the outcome will be in doubt till the last man is down. There is considerable feeling worked up between the players of the two teams and they will do all in their power to win. Billman got off to a bad start last Sunday and he will be out to redeem himself. The little red top is a good pitcher and the locals will be going up against a stiff proposition. An effort is being made to have Mighty Art Ramage back doing his stuff at first. Jack Pendleton will be doing the second basing again. Cliff Best promises to have his crooked arm very much on the job. With Cliff on the Job Anaheim will enter the game with all the confidence in the world. This long boy had the Beanpickers feeding out of his hand last Sunday and if the locals can get to Billman for a few runs the game will be over. Anaheim is going on the field backed by a big following of home fans. This game will mark the first day of Billy AIR CUT NIGHT MONTHS Guard Barthelmess fin-roduction of "The dee," he spoke the mahaircut," to a bar-first time in eight winter.

The marvel Marie Prevost, FlorHarry Myers, Monte Sport Snaps JACK KEENE Officials of the American Olympipic committee will have a difficult task ahead of them to safeguard the chance of the U.S. in the blue ribbon event of the international classic. That event is the marathon. Here is the reason. The men who will carry America's colors in the event will be chosen from the contestants in three or four marathon events to be pulled off in the east and on the Pacific coast early in the spring. Practically three months will elapse between the last of these elimination events and the big day at Paris. Some means must be taken to hold these athletes at top form over that three months period. Skillful handling will be necessary to prevent these endurance runners from losing their stamina and speed. The Olympic Marathon will be run July 13. The Boston A. A. marathon, to be staged in April, will be the official tryout for the Olympic team but three other distance events before that time will upon to right. He was an in-and-outer and didn't cut much of a figure even in his home town. The two Mikes—Gibbons and Collins—soon took out of Delaney any foolishness in his make-up. His appearance now anywhere in the country is a signal for a packed house and a guarantee the fans will get a show for their dough. The other night in Oakland Delaney hit Jack Reeves with every thing except Promoter Simpson's sack of dough but Reeves weathered the stormy session and landed a draw verdict. They will have it out in a return bout, Simpson promises. Delaney has a great left hand and a socking right to back it up. He worked out with Tommy Gibbons before the Shelby flasco and Tommy taught him anything his brother, Mike, had overlooked in preliminary instruction. The St. Paulite has to his credit a bout with Gene Tunney, light-heavy titleholder. In this scrap Delaney showed all kinds of ability, swapping blows toe to toe with the champion. Gibbons' protege has only one physical drawback to a successful ring career. His hands are tender and frequent fights, where must extend himself to win, cannot be for him. He is taking special exercises to strengthen his mitts and may overcome this weakness of brittle "dukes." OF DOG DERBY ASHTON, Idaho, Feb. 23. Never in the history of American dog derbies have so many favorites been overthrown and all predictions so thoroughly upset as when 16-year-old Olcott Zarn made a spectacular winning drive across the finish of the snow trail classic yesterday. Carrying an exhausted dog on the sledge before him, the young boy urged the remainder of his team over the last four miles of the trail in a desperate fight for the lead that took championship honors away from Smoky Gaston, beat Shorty Rusick of LePaa with the Canadian champions; Warren Cordingly and other famous trailmen, who were, but a few short minutes behind him. Gaston, the champion; Tud Kent, ex-champion, and the Canadian entered by the Montreal winter sports, were heavy favorites, but in picking them the wise ones noted only young Zarn's age and overlooked an uncanny trailsmanship and sledge race lore he seems to have absorbed in past participation in the famous event, all of which stood him in good stead. Today the few that backed him drew big odds. Driving a team he trained himself, Zarns had gained a slight lead up to the last ten miles in spite of the tremendous pace set. Then one of his wheel dogs commenced to fail and within four miles of the finish collapsed. Whipping out his knife the boy cut him loose, lifted him on the sledge and with disorganized team continued with but few seconds delay. Within sight of the finish the freeway crowds that lined the last mile confused the remaining dogs, and with the disabled one as the sledge's only passenger, the kid, as the race classic familiarly knows him, led his dogs across the line on a run and without a stop headed for home and first aid for his exhausted canine pal. With May-a-gan, its famous leader, out of the race, the Canadian challenger was almost like a ship without a rudder and its performance in finishing fourth or even at all is laid to the credit of Shorty Russick, the iron little voyageur from the north who brot them across in a display of sheer nerve and personal endurance that drew him a tremendous ovation among game heroes of a classic which is not replete without them. Official time for the 25 mile course: Olcott Zarn, 2 hours, 22 minutes, 40 seconds. Warren Cordingly, 2 hours, 24 minutes, 37 seconds. Smoky Gaston, 2 hours, 28 minutes, 37 seconds. Russick 2 hours 32 minutes 47 seconds. OLD EASHIONED DOCKS CLOSE FIRM NEW YORK, Feb. 23. The stock market closed firm today—the list generally moving into higher ground during an active session. The gains scored were in most cases only fractional. Steel common rose % to 104% but the other steel shares were all most unchanged. Baldwin rose one point to 12 and General Elec. 2 points to 207½. Southern Railway rose over on point to 42%, a new high record.

A machine would have so angle of climb that with head wind it would be go up like a balloon." Church row is petering out, having been able to think good slogan. Practically three months will elapse between the last of these elimination events and the big day at Paris. Some means must be taken to hold these athletes at top form over that three months period. Skillful handling will be necessary to prevent these endurance runners from losing their stamina and speed. The Olympic Marathon will be run July 13. The Boston A. A. marathon, to be staged in April, will be the official tryout for the Olympic team but three other distance events before that time will give experts a line on prospects. Baltimore will stage a marathon March 8. Detroit will hold one March 29 and the coast race will be held on or about that date. It is believed, however, that the leading runners will be advised against competing in more than one of these events. The race calls for every ounce of strength and vitality a runner possesses. He must repeat the patient building up process after each event. Should these earlier meets produce a promising marathoner he probably will be advised to watch the later event from the sidelines. This will mean that he will be inactive for almost four months. The four men on whom American track experts pin the most faith at this writing are Clarence De Mar hero of last year's Boston marathon; Bill Kennedy, Frank Zuna and Whitey Michelson. Now comes Argentina to bat with another startling athlete—one Georges Haebeler. Gordon Bennett Dukes, former Cornell pole vaulter and later New York Athletic club star, is authority for the statement that Georges is the most remarkable athlete to bob up in the Latin Americas. That Argentina believes he is a wonder is evidenced by the fact that his native country is depending upon his to win points in the coming Olympic games. Haebeler's specialty is pole vaulting. Duke is given credit for developing him at the Club Gymnasia de Esprima, one of Argentine's foremost athletic organizations. And Dukes is frank enough to admit that the native defeated him in the pole vault event in the last Argentine championships. Late last year Haebeler cleared the bar at 32 feet, one inch. The takeoff was a mass of sticky mud. OLD FASHIONED HOBO IS SCARCE SYRACUSE, N. Y., Jan. 25.—Another great American tradition has passed away. With the friendly corner bar tender, the old oaken bucket and the man who raised a family of ten on $5 a week, the leisurely hobo has gone into discard. So claims Deputy police Chief George Peacock, who, as head of the detective bureau and chief officer of Police Court for a general, ought to be in position to know. He says: "They used to be a daily sight. Scarcely a day passed when we did not have four or five in court or one charge or another. Today the hobo is as scarce as hens' teeth. "I think many of them have found it easier to make an honest living these days than to go from house to house and city to city to live on the charity of their more arbitricus fellowmen." Despite this he topped the bar by several inches, according to Dukes. Georges has stepped 100 meters in 11 seconds with little preparation and has cleared the high jump. He has shown considerable ability as a wrestler, also. Physically he has an ideal build for an all-around athlete. He stands 5 feet, 8 inches high and weighs 145 pounds. He is 25. Ed Barrow, business manager of the New York Yankees, has been offered for the third time the management of the Washington Senators. Thrice has Edward refused. Does this in Edward seem ambitious? Giddy-up, Caesar. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—The stock market closed firm today; the list generally moving into higher ground during an active session. The gains scored were in most cases only fractional.
