The youths are said to have admitted Plenty of Action in New Reg. Denny Film Reginald Denny, battling thru a set of hilarious complications to alternate thrills with fun, is the piece de resistance in "The Reckless Age," his latest Universal starring vehicle which opens tonight at the United Theater. Adapted from Earl Derr Biggers' Saturday Evening Post story, "Love Insurance," it combines his fistic prowess and daring as a racing driver with a story that moves through crowded laughs, a few thrills, and a romance. Denny plays a young insurance agent, detailed to watch over the romance of a nobleman who has taken out a policy against failure to marry the heiress to whom he is engaged. First a threatened breach of promise suit looms on the horizon; then a bogus claimant to the title appears, and a scandal weekly gets the story of his trouble. To cap the climax—the insurance man and the heiress fall in love with each other. Denny stages a fight in the newspaper office, kidnaps the boss's nobleman, searches off the act.

First a threatened breach of promise silt looms on the horizon; then a bogus claimant to the title appears, and a scandal weekly gets the story of his trouble. To cap the climax—the insurance man and the heiress fall in love with each other. Denny stages a fight in the newspaper office, kidnaps the boss nobleman, searches off the actress with the breach of promise case—and then considers his own dilemma. He's in love—if he marries the girl the company pays the policy—and he's fired! How it's finally solved makes a surprising climax, romantic and still comical—and very plausible into the bargain. The cast of the new picture is a strong one. Ruth Dwyer, remembered in "His Mystery Girl" and "Jack o' Clubs," plays the heiress. Hayden Stevenson, the manager of "The Leather Pushers;" Tom McGuire, well-known character artists; Fred Malatesta, of stage fame; John Steppling, May Wallace and other clever players appear. Harry Pollard, who directed "The Leather Pushors" and "Sporting Youth" is responsible for the new offering. It's human to err; that's why they sell accident insurance.

PLANS School to Prepare Husbands SAN DIEGO, Oct. 3.—No man should marry without first making a thorough study of marital problems, and so I am planning a class for the training of prospective husbands," announced Rev. Lawrence A. Wilson of a Congregational Church here, today. "Young men spend years in preparation for business careers and it is this intelligent study that makes for success," he continued. "Yet they display marked indifference and carelessness when approaching the business, art or science of marriage." The classes will be held three times a week. Rev. Wilson said. WHO'S WHY IN THE DAYS NOW MAJ. GEN. DOUGLAS MAC-ARTHUR Secretary of War Weekk has recommended the promotion of Brig. Gen. Douglas MacArthur to the rank of major general, effective Jan. 17 next, to fill the vacancy which will occur with the retirement of Maj. Gen. Charles G. Morton on Jan. 1. Gen. MacArthur is the youngest general officer in the army, having been in his forty-first year when he was appointed brigadier in January, 1920. At present he is in command of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, Fort William McKinley, in the Philippines. Before assuming this command he was superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point. There was a bit of a flurry when the late President Wilson sent to the senate the nomination of Gen. MacArthur, as a brigadier.

Ford, 21, of Fullerton, Sunday at the Cocoroidia club grounds with a bottle of liquor in his possession. He said the story as originally published in The Plain Dealer was correct. He said that he saw Ford inside the clubrooms, that when Ford came out he arrested him on the club grounds within 30 feet of the main building and that the bottle of liquor was broken over a bench in the park. The charge of resisting an officer was placed against him and $25 bail was forfeited.

GIFT NIGHT AND "EMPTY HANDS" Can a man and a woman, both products of our modern hothouse civilization, wrest a living from Nature, unaided by any of the present-day conveniences? That is the interesting question that "Empty Hands," the new Paramount picture, coming to the California theatre for today and Saturday, raises and answers. It is a Victor Fleming production based on Carey Wilson's adaptation of Arthur Stringer's daring novel of the same name which originally was published in serial form in Harper's Bazaar. The screen play answers the question in the affirmative, but an incident in real life that took place not so very long ago leads one to the belief that the answer should be in the negative. Several months ago the newspapers thrust out the country carried front page stories of the disappearance of a young couple, who fired with the story of "Empty Hands" wont into the wilderness to duplicate the feat of the novel's hero and heroine. A few days later they were found, half-starved and suffering from exposure. From actual experience, therefore, these two know that it can't be done. However, it is possible that this real man and woman are not of the stuff of which reel men and women are made. Jack Holt and Norma Shearer in the picture are not only successful in keeping body and soul together but they even find time to fall in love! And that's that! There may be some argument over the theme of the story but there can be no question as to the entertainment quality of the picture. It is one of the finest photos. IMMELY VIEW "PAST YEAR HAS WITNESSED PROGRESS FOR JEWISH SAYS ZIONIST LEADER" The past year has witnessed tiny progress for the Jewish Palestine and throughout world, according to Chaim Man, president of the Worldist Organization, in a statement issued coincident with the commencement of the Jewish New Year. In Palestine the country emerged from its economic crisis, this recovery being particularly noticeable in the recent increase in immigration. Of Palestine, he points out, a toric step has been taken to unite all Jews in building of Palestine. In this section he refers to the former head by Louis Marshill, United States for the formation of a non-partisan organization work for the rebuilding of Jewish Homeland. The Jewish America have particular interest in feeling proud of the achievement made in Palestine during this year, for it is due largely to work of the Palestine Fund, which draws its success principally from American Dr. Weizemann declares. The message states: Year of Toil "The past year has made limited demands upon our land and perseverance in the great Israel's revival. It has been of strenuous toll, but all marked progress. It is no Eternal People, who has been one of continuous exalted struggles, to complete toil. But we may pardon giving some expression to a lingering satisfaction in the process which has been attained."

Emerges From Depression In Palestine also, the half of the past year saw country emerge successfully of the depression from which suffered during the first half the year. The most conspicuous and satisfying evidence of the covery is the recent large increase in immigration into the Home Country of America have put har reason to be pounded improvement for it is due to the work of the Kerena Hass which in turn depends upon the fine understanding generosity of American Jews. "We have a right to look ward to the coming year not of less toll and sacrifice of even greater achievement paths which lead to our goal by the will of Providence, leading broad and less difficult own people and the outside now recognize clearly the reality and righteousness of cause. And by those signs shall conquer." A rankling temper and wrinkled brow.

As a "silent drama" it kept a less demonstrative, but just as enthusiastic audience gripping their seats in a state of almost hysteric delight. One critic wrote that it was so full of thrills he scarcely dared wink for fear of missing one. Take for instance, the scene in which Henry MacFarlane, the banker is shot, and David Keith in order to shield the girl he loves, tells the police that he has been the murderer. Or that breathtaking moment when Katherine Keith creeps along a narrow ledge high up on a building; she may enter a hotel room and find a letter which can prove her brother's innocence. Or again—her flight in the taxicab through the crowded streets. Or the wreck of the Arizona Express on the bridge that has been partly demolished by the floods.
