"DYNAMITE SMITH" NEW STAR COMING TO UNITED THEATER
Gladstone Smith, known among his newspaper associates as "Dynamite Smith," was a timid young man who lived in his books and glanced fearfully at life as it hurried by. Its currents and whirlpools, its dangers and temptations, its tempests and passions were unknown to him. And then, suddenly, he was swept into the maelstrom!
There came a night when "Dynamite Smith" was sent to "cover" a murder at the Diamond Cafe, on the Barbary Coast. There he learned the meaning of fear. He saw it first in a woman's eye—a mere wisp of a human being on whose painted face was written the tragedy of a broken, hopeless life. And later, he himself, felt fear's awful clutches—he learned its power to drive on beyond the strength of human endurance, and then he learned to conquer and overpower its terrors.
A real Charles Ray Role is "Dynamite Smith," which will show at the United Theater, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, bringing the famous actor back under the production banner of Thos. H. Ince. G. Gardlenr Sullivan, who wrote "The Coward," the picture that established Ray for all time as a splendid emotional actor.
Imagine yourself the son of a fabulously rich man, set down in a deserted mining town with only a single dollar in your sagging pockets.
That is the fate of the hero in "The Millionaire Cowboy" which will show at the United Theater Friday and Saturday, which marks the debut of "Lefty" Flynn as full-fledged Western star, who will appear in a series of Western pictures.
"Lefty" Flynn is known far and wide as the erstwhile Yale Football star, and all-round athlete. He has been rising swiftly to stardom on the screen. Recently he was engaged by Harry Garson to star in a series of western productions, the first is "The Millionaire Cowboy" written by Darryl Francis Zanuck.
A swift succession of thrilling incidents, warmed by younger romance and touches of fine comedy—all these combine to make this production an engrossing narrative and delightful entertainment. The cast includes Gloria Grey "The Limberlost Girl," Charles Crockett, Frederick Peters and Daddy Hoosier.

WARNER FORCED TO REVISE PLANS
STAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.
Discovery that Norman Cleave-ud, kicking halfback, is ineligible under the three year Conference rule because of his participation as a substitute back in 1921, necessitate a considerable shift in Cardinal strategy.
Place will probably be taken in the Stanford lineup by Jim Fryly, 200 pound back, whose kick has been of good calibre this year. While not as fast as Cleave-ud, he is a good backfield man in punting that his absence will be felt. Murray Cuddeback do the kicking. He has an accented toe when it comes to kicking but is a bit erratic in putting.
Just how much importance the kicking game will have Saturday, cannot be forecast. Some football experts look for Andy Smith to abandon his kicking game, which for four years has won him names and fame and surprise Stanford with a brand new attackers believe he will stick to it if figure that Stanford will meet it sort of a game with similar skills of play.
Despite the two heavy blows in one of 24 hours—loss of krille with a broken ankle and travelland—Stanford leaders did not appear disheartened today. Warner is too old a gridiron imparker to carry all of his eggs one basket and despite the loss two stars will put up a whale in a game Saturday.
California players were in reheat today and cripples were reported rounding to as well as could expected.
BRITTON SPRAWLS
OAKLAND, Nov. 21.—Jimmy Duffy, welterweight champion of the Pacific Coast sprawled Jack Britton in the third round of their bout here last night and with that punch—a left swing to the chin—gained the decision over the former king of all the welterweights.
Britton gave Duffy a royal time throut and Duffy's advantage was in the first and increased in the third when the knockdown came.
In the first round Duffy swarmed all over the former champion. The second was even and there was little to choose between the boxers in the fourth.
Britton found Duffy's chin with more right handers than Duffy has seen in all his battles here.
As usual, the crowd jeered Duffy at the end of the fight, evidently wanting a Boston massacre.
Teddy O'Hara and Young Dudley in the semi-windup were given the air by the referee in the middle of the second round. Dudley was evidently trying to do something. It was not fighting, however. O'Hara wasn't even doing that.
YALE VARSITY IN PRIME CONDITION
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 21.
With the last practice seriage of the season behind it Yale's varsity football squad today was being given its finishing touches in preparation for the Harvard game here next Saturday.

ODDS EVEN UPON BEAR-CARD GAME
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.—"Anybody's game."
This seemed to be the consensus of opinion among football experts, supporters of the two eleven and the man on the street, 48 hours before the football elevens of California and Stanford were to trot on the gridiron for their annual "big game."
Betting odds were even. Supporters of both elevens jockeyed for odds with the result that most of the money this year is going down even.
News that Erule Nevers, prize all round Cardinal athlete, is definitely out of the game with a broken ankle, had little effect on the betting. Nevers has not been in the lineup a lot this season and Coach Warner has built up his eleven with the knowledge that Nevers might not be available. Most of the experts point out that even had his ankle not been broken in the Montana game, Nevers could hardly have been expected to play his real game without more practice.
The last football rally before the "big game" was to be held tonight at Berkeley after which members of the football squad will go to Byron Hot Springs to remain until game time Saturday. Only enough limbering up exercises to keep the men fit will be indulged in from now on.
Similarly "down on the farm" the members of the Stanford squad are resting in preparation for the sound of the whistle Saturday Coach Warner never believes in overworking his men the latter part of the season, figuring that the hard games tax the vitality of the players.
"We are going in there to fight like the devil. Our physical condition is not the best."
These were the pre-game words of Coach Andy Smith of the Bears today.
"Stanford has had a lot of selling after reaching."
Despite the two heavy blows in December of 24 hours—loss of Yale players with a broken ankle andaveland—Stanford leaders did not appear disheartened today. Up Warner is too old a gridiron empaigner to carry all of his eggs one basket and despite the loss two stars will put up a whale a game Saturday.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 21. Head Coach Bob Fisher and a half squad of Harvard's varsity expendables left here today for New Haven and the Yale bowl here a short, practice session will be held.

PROFIT TAKING,
SHORT SELLING
NEW YORK, Nov. 21—The forward movement in prices or railroad and industrial stocks was interrupted today by the heavy offerings of stocks on profit taking and short selling operations. Declines of point or more took place in many stocks which have been leaders in the advance since Nov. 5. While these recessions were in progress new stocks were brought forward and in an exceedingly heavy turnover, rushed up to new high price levels.
The simultaneous upward movement of the stocks and bonds of the New Haven and St. Paul systems was easily the feature of the speculative security markets. In the belief that St. Paul will weather the storm and make satisfactory provision for the refunding of its huge bond maturity in June, 1925, there was a heavy buying movement in both the preferred and common stocks of that company. The common sold up to 17%, only fractionally below the highest price of the year to date, while the preferred at 21½ showed an advance of 4¼ points from yesterday's low.
Rock Island rose three points to a new high at 46½ on heavy trading based on rumors that Southern Pacific and Rock Island managements would work out a plan of co-operation that would be mutually profitable. Missouri Pacific, Wabash, Katy, and a few other rails showed the effects of profit taking, their early declines showing losses on the average from yesterday's high, but good recoveries followed these reactions. Interest was well maintained in Kansas City Southern and other low priced rails which featured yesterday's session.
U. S. Steel encountered heavy selling after reaching a new

The supporting cast includes Wallace Beery, George Nichols, Frank Currier, Gibson Gowland, Rosemary Theby, Dlek Sutherland, Mitchell Lewis, Milly Davenport, Emily Fitzroy and George Periolat. "The Red Lily" is a Louise B. Mayer presentation.
Ben Turpin in "The Dare Devil" a screamingly funny comedy and a late issue of the International News will also be shown.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21.—Charged with conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor for having placed a "fake" bomb in the editorial department of the San Diego Union morning newspaper, as a practical joke and publicity "stunt," for a picture showing at a local theater, U.C. Pratt, the theater manager, Max Brunstein, press agent, and William Fife, who admits he was given $2 by the other men to place the fake internal machine in the newspaper office, remained in jail today while the district attorney's office prepared to prosecute the men to the furtherest extent possible.
The three men arrested late yesterday afternoon, three hours after their hoax had scared more than 500 persons who were ordered to leave the Union Building when the machine was discovered, frankly admitted to the police that the bomb was a "fake" and that they done it to advertise a motion pleture. However, the officers and most of the townpeople, including Mayor John L. Bacon and hundreds of others, did not think it so funny.
At least two people are known to have suffered serious consequences from the hoax. They were Mrs. S.M.Dodge, 80, who

MAYOR JAILED
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21.—Given up by his bondsmee, more for his own benefit than anything else, Allan R. Morford, former mayor of St Joseph, Mich., who confessed several months ago that he was the bandit who robbed a bank here last May, was back in the county jail today awaiting his preliminary hearing on charges of robbery, burglary and grand larceny. The hearing is set for next Wednesday.
W.K. Prudden, bondsman for Morford, in a conference with Dist.Atty, Kempley, said that thru months of illness and privation Morford, he thought, had been driven to desperation and that he feared he might even attempt to take his own life.
DECLARED SUICIDE
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 21."Mrs.C.V.Sheatley wife of the pastor of Bexley Christ Lutheran church here erawled into the furnace in the basement of her home Monday afternoon."
This was the opinion today of Detective Cox who has been working on the case since Mrs.Sheatley's remains were found burning in the furnace late Monday.
The door of the furnace, Cox pointed out is large enough to have permitted the woman to crawl feet first by holding to another door directly above the fire door.The upper door was found open when Rev.Sheatley entered the basement to trace the odor of burning flesh Monday, he said.
