She was given a great opportunity when she was selected for the leading feminine role in 'Virtuous Liars.' It is the role of a young girl who gives up her career to marry. Her husband deserts her and her child and she is compelled to begin again as a struggling painter. Her portraits attract the attention of a wealthy art patron and circumstances compel her to let the impression exist that she is a widow. This elderly man proposes marriage and when she tells him the truth the shock proves fatal. He leaves her a trust fund of half a million dollars and the husband returns to compel her to share the fortune with him. Her love for the nephew of the art patron provides conflict which presents tense dramatic situations. Billy Sullivan, the popular screen star, will be seen in an... HARTRANFT SPEAKS THIS EVENING S.

PREDICT "BIG FOUR" WILL WIN ELECTION TUESDAY (Continued from Page One) Chandler wants that water That is why he, joined with the Tia Juana vice ring, wants me defeated and that is why in an effort to divert attention from the big issue the Times has endeavored to get voters to think about something beside the big thing that the Times is think about." Conceding the defeat of their candidate for congress, opponents of the "Big Four" today were circulating a "bob-tailed" ticket, printed on yellow cardboard. No recommendation was made for congress. A "bob-tailed" ticket was snowed under in the city election last spring. TAGGING ALL THE BASES Lutch Leonard held the Yankees to six hits while the Tigers slugged the way to a 7 to 2 victory Ruth, Cob and Manns got homers. It was Julie's 39th. Washington made it three straight from the White Sox 4 to 1 and advanced to within one point of the lead. The Cubs took a close one from the Giants, 2 to 1, Aldridge testing McQuillen in a pitcher's battle. The Giants got only three hits. The Cardinals went on a rampage and trimmed Brooklyn twice, 7 to 6 and 17 to 9. St. Louis collected 25 hits in the nightcap. Cincinnati swamped the Braves in 10th ends of a doubleheader, 9 to 0 and 8 to 2. Pedro Dibut, Cuban pitcher, making his debut for the Reds held the Braves to 4 hits in the second game. The Indians beat th: Browns 9 to 1 in a flying visit home.

Auto Races LABOR DAY Monday, Sept. 1st SANTA ANA 6-Thrilling Events-6 Races Start 2 P.M. W. Edinger and Greenville Road LANNETTE AT WHITE TEMPLE Rev. Roy Plannette, pastor of the First Methodist church of Chelsea, S.D., occupied the pulpit the White Temple yesterday. Several members of the White Temple formerly lived at Hecla. Dr. W. E. Thirroe of the Univ. Calif. has been engaged to the pulpit next Sunday more Maurice Phillips of Santa Ana "The Penitent" at the evangel service. Rev. Plannette preached at the morning service on "What is Long With the World?" taking his text Isaiah 1:5: "The mole head is sick, and the whole art is faint." Rev. Plannette: Just because one complains is indication that he is ill. A son sometimes acts sick when he is no disease. But when everish body is added to count and action, it is time an obstruction is made and a remission administered. In the world there is abundance of content, unhealthy action and fleshiness which reveals itself in forms of society. Social life curbing the old lines of consciousness. Young people will be held by the things of everyday. Marriage has lost its fertility. I heard of a judge who rated 18 divorces in 90 minu­tions. There is an unrest in our comic life which threatens ourization, because the undercannot stand the strain of a positive system. There is a that the old things in politics must go, while theologians busy tearing down the dog-of-the past. Human physicians are seeking a remedy for a sick world, day or two brings out a book telling us how to save world. The Ku Klux Klan SARGUM PROUTINGS Hiram Dempsey, father of champion Jack, has the nerve of a champion. He is now 67 and the other day he took to himself a blushing bride of 26. Any man that does a little stunt like that has a lot of nerve or lacks good reasoning powers. Father Hiram was divorced from Jack's mother five years ago. The lady of his recent choice maneuvered his nails over in Shelby just before the famous battle of July 4, 1923. The marquisist touch was so gentle that it touched the old man's heart strings. Everyone, including Champion Jack, seems to be happy over the match, so why should the world worry. Gene Tunney and Tommy Gibbons have been matched at last to fightier than American light heavyweight championship. The date is not definitely settled but it is thought that Nov. 21 will about catch it. Madison Square Gardens will be the place and Tex Rickard will do the promoting. The bout would have gathered a larger gate if it had been staged out of doors but the season is too far advanced to make an outdoor exhibition possible. This bout really appears to be the best in sight. Gene and Tommy should make a whale of a battle. Tommy won a clean cut decision over Georges Carpentier recently and Gene knocked out the Frenchman. Gene carries a little more high powered guns but no one has been able to land any high powered stuff on the St. Paul boxer. It is a bout that will keep the fans guessing for the outcome is very uncertain. Forty-five Kentucky yearling colts were sold the other day CAN ROY MABEE STAGE COMEBACK? By Sargum Sprout Can he or can he not, is the big question confronting Roy Mabee. Roy made a big con-back a couple of years ago; can he do the ablest impossible the second time? In his last match, he demonstrated that he still retains all of his old running but he surely did not have the stamina that used to mark his matches. He has been training faithfully since that time which has been about 30 days. His handlers or training partners say that he is in great shape but can he stand the strain of a terrible physical exertion necessary to throw a man like Miller. It is said that Miller lacks the science of a great wrestler but Miller is acquainted with most all the holds. He does not show the finish that Mabee does but he knows enough. Miller's physical condition is wonderful. The strength of a hard bout does not seem to exhaust him and he can be as fresh after a five minutes rest as he was at the beginning of the match. Most of wrestlers muscles will weaken after so long a time but Miller does not seem to have any such weakness. Roy Mabee can not be sure of him if till after the match is over. He may appear to have all his old stuff but in a real test his powers may fall him. Anyway it is going to be a wonderful match. There will be nothing of the dirty, rough stuff to mar it as both are real gentlemen. The seats are selling rapidly and give evidence that with all the added seating capacity, the house will not be large enough to take care of the assembly.

This is evidence that horse flesh is not so common after all. On the other hand, Bolt Renolds, a wise old man of 80 winters, purchased a horse for $7.50 three years ago which he drove to a win in the trotting event at Washington, Pa., the other day. So good horses are not always expensive. Helen Wills and Vincent Richards, the kids of the tennis world, defeated Wm. Tilden and Mrs. Mallory, the old heads, in the mixed doubles championship. Ms. Wills again proved her wonderful ability by playing the former champions off their feet. Of course her youthful partner was a real champion in the play but Miss Wills stood up under the strain of facing the mighty playing of Tilden as no other woman of the present age could. The Kinsey Irothers had a hard time defeating the Australian doubles team for the championship. The Kinseys had to come from behind when the Australians all but had the championship tucked away, to win. These San Francisco lads are becoming the wonders of the tennis world. The loss of Billy Lane by the Seattle club is a very severe blow to their pennant hopes. Billy was not the leading batter of the league but he was in a class by himself as a lead off man. He could wait a pitcher out with the best of them, and he could lay the ball own and burn up the path to first base. Above all, he was very popular with the fane. Billy was hit on the head by a pitched ball while playing Vernon a week ago. A severe fracture will keep the fleet-footed little outfielder out of the game for the rest of season and may be for all time. Already the Seattle management is planning a monster benefit day next month. Seattle has been offered a staging sun for the immediate delivery of Pitcher Vean Gregg by the Yanka. Killifer has turned the offer down for he is in need of greggin in his own pennant chase. Gregg is an old man as baseball goes and has been up to the big Leagues and served his time.

RUTH ACCEPTS BID NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Babe Ruth today accepted an invitation Seattle has been offered a staging sum for the immediate delivery of "Pitcher Vean Gregg" by the Yanks. Killifer has turned the offer down for he is in need of gregg in his own pennant chase. Gregg is an old man as baseball goes and has been up to the big leagues and served his time. In fact, Vean retired from the game and thought that he was through but this year's record proves him to be one of the most effective pitchers on the coast. The Yanks could use him to good advantage just now.

AT THE CALIFORNIA TOMORROW Claire Windsor, Tully Marshall and Mary Carr in "For Sale" Should a girl sacrifice herself on the altar for love at the bidding of her parents. Which is the stronger—a girl's duty to herself and the man she loves—or the duty to her parents? These are the questions answered in "For Sale," the startling First National picture of American society life which opens tomorrow at the California Theatre. "For Sale," a story by Earl Hudson, treats of a powerfully dramatic chapter in the life of a modern society girl who is virtually placed on the auction block by her parents to be sold as a wife to the highest bidder, in order that they may still retain their high social position. The picture is in reality a page of true life, dealing as it does with a situation now existing—an asset to be bartered and sold to add wealth or prestige to her family. Many society girls find that their husbands are "picked" for them by parents, who see in the marriage a combination of two mighty fortunes or an in the case of Sale," the marrying of a dam by a family which feels that falling from social power.
