Try and Get It. CROWDS GROWING AT MODEL HOME TWO VODE ACTS AT FAIRYLAND Tomorrow's show at the Fairyland promises well with two real snappy acts of vaudeville to head a bill of surprises that ends with the screen feature, "The Love Gambler," starring John Gilbert. Jean Holland offers "The Dancing Marvel," a neat terpischorean presentation that should more than please. Story and Parker in "Nut Comedy" promises a laugh to every line. This act is a sure fire kick that ought to have the house howling from start to finish. "The Love Gambler" is the story of a breezy youth coming from nowhere and bound on the wind for the same place, to quote from one of the titles. He rides into a Western town one day, and gets into a scrap in ten minutes. He knocks down a man, but there is a girl who is not vanquished so easily. Before she leaves the battle, she leaves the imprint of her hand on Manners' (Gilbert's) cheek. That interests Gilbert tremendously, and he asks questions, discovering that the girl's name is Jean McClelland, and that he father, Col. McClelland, owns a bad horse that has never been tamed. Whereupon the venturous youth calmly wagers that within a few days he will have ridden the horse and kissed the girl. What happens when he tries both, makes some of the most charming incidents ever seen on the screen. Director Joseph Franz is to be commended highly for the light comedy touch he has kept running through the earlier sequences of the film. The 13th episode of "Capt. Kidd" and the comedy, "Arabia's Last Dream," complete a very classy program. DRIVER HELD UPON MANN ACT CHARGE PORTLAND, May 16—Arthur Green, taxicab driver of Sacramento, is held by federal authorities here today pending formal hearing on charges that he brot Mrs. June Brandt, former waitress "LIGHTNIN" SEEN IN PERRY WINTERS AND PERFECT MONEY SUSTAINS STOCK CROWDS GROWING AT MODEL HOME Five hundred persons visited the Model Home at 726 N. Clemencine-st. yesterday, a new dainy record. Including those who failed to register, Mrs. M. E. Canby estimates the total of the three days—starting at Tuesday noon—at 1500 persons. The registration book is forwarded to Washington, and everybody who goes to the home is asked to put down his name. The opening of two or three homes next year instead of the one is now being discussed. One of the most fertile subjects of question and argument has been the method of treatment of walls and ceiling in the living and dining rooms. Much to the surprise of those to whom this Tiffany rough Spanish finish is a novelty, oil paint only and no water coloring whatever was used. Six coats of paint were put on the surface being rubbed afterward so that the honeycombed parts were left with heavier coatings than the rest. Another matter of much curiosity is the tiny balcony in the living room with its railing and Anglo-Persian rug. This balcony was meant to break up the lines of the ceiling. Ordinarily ceilings are the "flattest" and least artistic parts of a room, and the walls are only less so. The balcony in the ceiling at one end ano side and the niches in the walls prevent the monotony so commonly found. The interior is real Spanish, in architecture, the images, plaques, etc. carrying out the Spanish motive. Today the Lions' Club ladies are assisting Mrs. Canby and Mrs. Hathaway and tomorrow the Realty Board ladies. The former consist of: Morning Mrs. Charles Walker, Mrs. C. B. Van Schovel and Mrs. Geo. Theodore. Afternoon—Mrs. Al Ruitzel, Mrs. Homer P. Eddy and Mrs. Walker. Evening—Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Lamb, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Cromer, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Phegley and Kurt Epstein.

DRIVER HELD UPON MANN ACT CHARGE PORTLAND, May 16.—Arthur Green, taxicab driver of Sacramento, is held by federal authorities here today pending formal hearing on charges that he brot Mrs. June Brandt, former waitress at Center Hospital in Sacramento, from California to Baker, Ore., in violation of the Mann white slave act. He is also alleged to have threatened the life of Mrs. Brandt and held her in a room in Baker at the point of a revolver. A Unique Profession Among the most interesting careers which women have undertaken is that of Miss Grace R. Henry, one of the originators of the Junior League, the international philanthropic organization of young society women. She has attained a national reputation by her producing of Junior League plays all over the country. She has just completed a successful season in New York in which she put on two amateur performances, "Best Sollers" and a revival of "The Red Mill" and has now gone to Portland, Ore., to put on Junior League play there. Miss Henry's talents are remarkable in that she usually writes the play, adapts the music, sets the dances, designs the scenery and drills the choruses.

John Golden, producer of "The First Year," "Turn to the Right," "Three Wise Pools" and "Seventh Heaven," will send to the Yost Theater, Santa Ana, Thursday and Friday nights, May 22nd and 25rd, the sensational comedy hit, "Lightnin'", which has to its credit a run of three solid years at the Gaiety Theater, New York, two years at the Blackstone in Chicago, and comes here direct from its recent triumph in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Consisting of a prologue and three acts, "Lightnin'" is the joint work of Winchell Smith and the late Frank Bacon. It is written around the character of Lightnin Bill Jones, a most appealing personality, and one that recalls the Rip Van Winkle of the elder Jefferson. He is essentially human and humorous representing a type of shiftless old fellow, peculiar to America alone—a type that is rapidly dying out. The locale of "Lightnin" is a rural hotel astride the California-Nevada boundary line, where under-graduates working for a diploma in the Reno divorce court, may establish a Nevada residence while pretending to be rusticating in California. The cast that will appear here in "Lightnin" is headed by Percy Pollock as Lightnin' Bill Jones and embraces thirteen of the original players who appeared with the late Frank Bacon at the New York premiere, almost six years ago. SPEAKER TO TELL OF RELIEF WORK Rev. Dr. George A. Miller, who is the pruncher Sunday morning at the White Temple, is a very interesting and convincing speaker. He will speak of the work done in the Near East. He will not make any appeal for funds. His story is not a sentimental one but a plain account of a most remarkable work of reconstruction carried forward by the people of the United States. Most Near East speakers harry their audiences with frightful stories of suffering on the part of the Armenian children. Dr Miller rather tells what has been done with the food, clothing and $60,000,000 contributed by the people of the U.S. It is an amazing story full of hope and encouragement.

ANDOWNERS ENDORSE A OIL LEASE POOL PLAN (Continued from Page One) For the purpose of obviating these mistakes, Cypress people feel that by co-operation and pooling leases and by embodying in these leases certain protective drilling clauses, these errors can be eliminated. By binding together they agree not to permit the drilling of more than one well to five acres, except where required to protect land by drilling offset wells. At this meeting there were elected 12 trustees, three each for the following sections of land: 9, 10, 15 and 16, for the purpose of formulating a plan whereby the greatest amount of bonus could be obtained and the most advantageous leases made for the owners. It was suggested that leases be made in units of 40,60 or 80 acres with drilling restricted to one well to five acres. It was shown of great importance that a standard lease be adopted which has been approved by the trustees. It was also recommended that small tracts and city lots be made into community leases to discourage speculators and stock-selling organizations. The Gaddie Oil Dev. Company has expressed willingness to co-operate with the landowners in any manner for the protection of the community and to accomplish the greatest good. It was recommended that, in order to know that the field was being scientifically drilled and that water conditions were being properly cared for, that the five acre clause was being observed, a clause be inserted in the lease whereby drilling shall be done under the supervision of an inspector to be selected by the trustees, whose duty shall be to supervise these and all other matters that will give greatest protection to the landowners in the event oil is discovered in this field. In order to determine the amount of bonus on the respective sections at which leases will be made, the trustees were authorized to make an appraisal of the minimum price and to obtain as much more as possible.
