FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1924 MISSION PAGEANT OPENS SATURDAY With an amphitheatre that will seat 1500 persons virtually completed, but one event remained to be accomplished before the initial performance of the "Mission Pageant of San Juan Capistrano" is given there Saturday at 2:30 p.m. That event is the final dress rehearsal, scheduled for Friday night. Formal rehearsals were concluded last week and at that time Garnet Holmes, famed throat the southland as director of historic pageants, expressed satisfaction that a finished production was in store. Worn, adobe attches and the historic mission grounds will be the only stage, it was stated, when it was explained this setting was chosen as accuracy of historical events and atmosphere was a thing for which Holme had striven with success. To the rear the amphitheatre has been erected, all seats being placed at a sloping elevation. The sun will be at the rear of the audience, according to the seating arrangement, and heavy canvas coverings have been placed over the entire structure. These will be drawn if the day is hot or the weather inclement. It was stated, so the audience may be in comfort while the elaborate play, portraying events of older and prosperous mission days, is in progress. Youths of Anaheim, Hollywood and Alhambra, who are taking a part in various roles, will stay at the mission city in large, brown tents that have been placed. They are to be under supervision of adults. Arrangements have been made at Capistrano to care for the other actors of So. Calif., who are to come each week for the Sat- NEW LAMP BURNS 94 per cent. AIR ALL JAPAN PRAYS FOR PROTECTION ON FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF MISSION PAGEANT OPENS SATURDAY PLAIN DEALER ADS PAY, SAYS McCOY A. A. McCoy, local police patrolman, affirms that Plain Dealer "ads" pay. McCoy had some lumber to sell, and he tried hard to sell it, but seems to be able to find no one in the market for second hand lumber. Then the bright idea dawned on him to try an "ad" in the Plain Dealer. The next day calls for lumber began coming in, and he sold out to the two first ones that called. He said that six different persons answered that ad, and that he could have sold a lot more lumber.

AIR Beats Electric or Gas A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U.S. government, and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise—no pumping un: is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% air and 6% common kerosene (coal oil.) The inventor, W. A. Johnson, 161 North Union Ave., Portland, Ore., is offering to send a lamp on 10 days FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it. Write him today for full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can set the agency, and without experience or money make $250 to $500 per month. SPEAK CLEARLY OVER PHONE A telephone official remarks that the telephone companies are constantly trying to instruct the people on how to use their instruments. Complaints of unsatisfactory conversations over the wire are largely due to failure of the speaker to enunciate clearly. People used to be taught in the schools to speak words clearly, but reading aloud is not so much featured now. This may be one reason why many persons habitually speak in a numbling way. If the clearly defined tones of the alphabet are merged into a sloppy sound delivered at a distance from the receiver, they make a mess at the other end. The telephone could be operated with more efficiency and speed if people would talk as if they were reciting a lesson from the old-fashioned school reader. urday and Sunday afternoon productions Saturday and Sunday of this week have been set aside as "Orange county days."

DRIVE BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.—John W. Davis was prepared today for the greatest single effort of his presidential campaign the launching of a drive to win New York state. The Democratic nominee left here yesterday afternoon for New York, after having spent a day barnstorming thru Maryland. He spoke last night at a great Tammany rally in Madison Square Garden, under the same roof that sheltered the convention which elevated him to the leadership of the Democratic party. Davis shared honors with Gov. Al Smith at the rally and last night's effort was the opening shot in a drive which will carry both leaders on individual tours of the Empire state. Davis told a crowd of Maryland state leaders that the Democratic party would "sweep the country" in November. In conference before his departure, Davis indicated he would continue to fling challenges at President Coolidge in an effort to force his Republican rival into a debate upon campaign issues. In his Maryland tour, Davis added a new challenge to the list. He demanded that Coolidge publicly declare himself upon the religious freedom issue. “There is a challenge in this country to religious freedom and radical equality,” Davis said, “and the only answer from the present administration is deep silence.” A Class Ad is best little salesman.

There was Ben, a black bear, and Polly, a green poll parrot, and Big Ears, a baby elephant, and last but not least, a big white goose gander. After the introductions were over Toodles and Billy walked over to one corner of the stable and ate their own dinners. And this is where Nek found them when he came to get them for a new performance they were about to put on in the studio. Now, Billy, our troubles are about to begin," said Toodles, "for we are all to go into the studio and rehearse our parts before they take our pictures for the film production. I just hate rehearsals for some of the animals are so slow, or they get stubborn and won't go through their parts, and it is very tiresome for those who have to wait." "What do you suppose we will have to do this morning?" asked Billy. "I hear it is to rehearse a circus performance where the two baby elephants are to be dressed up, one in a woman's clothes and the other in a man's. The one who represents a woman is to carry a big doll dressed as a baby in long clothes, while the other is to carry a satchel. When dressed they are to stand on their hind legs and walk in the grand opening parade. Every person and animal in the parade has to do some stunt if they can be taught one. If not, they are to walk around in line anyway." "Do you mean to tell me that this film company owns a whole circus—animals, bareback riders, clowns, and all?" asked Billy. "By no means! I see you know nothing about the production of moving pictures, so I will explain to you that when the movie people want a circus, house, mountain or anything else in their picture, they go to the mountain, circus, or whatever it is they require for their picture and take the whole troupe of animals, people and so forth to the place where their background is. They save a lot of money in this way. They pay so much to the owner for the privilege of photographing it and using it in their picture. We will all be taught our parts here and then taken to the circus for a last rehearsal. When the director thinks the actors have their parts well learned the camera man shoots it." "Shoots it!" said Billy. "And why does he shoot it? I should like to know?" (Toodles explains the shooting to Billy in the next story.) Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium. CHARGE RADICALS IN "COALITION" WASHINGTON. Oct. 3. Charges that a "coalition" exists in the west between the Democrats and the LaFollette independents." To prevent an election in November," were made here yesterday afternoon by Wm. M. Butler, chairman of the Republican national committee, following a conference with President Coolidge at the White House. "Governor Bryan," Butler declared, "stands as the leading presidential opponent of President Coolidge, as against Davin on LaFollette. None of these, however, is regarded by us as formidable contestants for the presidency. "The purpose of this coalition is to place Governor Bryan in the White House by throwing the election, first into the house of representatives and then into the senate. Despite the combined efforts of the Democrats and Progressives, I predict, however, that President Coolidge will be elected decisively on Nov. 4." The mother of little Mike O'Grady stopped the doctor as he was leaving Mrs. Smith's house. "I suppose yer gittin' a good fee, sir, fer attendin' on the rich Smith boy," she said.
