UNITED THEATRE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW THE GREATEST OF ALL WESTERN 'The Code of the Wilderness' WITH JOHN BOWERS, A LICE CALHOUN ALAN HALE, OTIS HARLAN A REAL DRAMA OF THE REAL WEST CARTER DE HAVEN CURRENT COMPANY NEWS COMING SUNDAY 'THE EARL WALLACE PLAYERS' LANDIS FAVORED 10 to 1 OVER BAN NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Indications were today that Commissioner K. M. Landis would enter the ring this week, a 10 to 1 favorite over Battling Ban Johnson in a bout of undetermined length in which the dictatorship of baseball is at stake. The battler will carry a big advantage in weight but the commissioner packs the punch and his poundage is better distributed. The records of the two principals show that Landis already has scored a pair of clean knockouts over his rival. The third is due on Wednesday when the American League holds its annual meeting. On that occasion one of "Ban's" former seconds is alleged to be ready to land a punch flush on the ex-king's jaw. Just what the battler will say to Clark Griffith, Washington owner, remains to be seen. Griff TOMMY GIBBONS DISPLAYS FIGHT NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Willie Ward, alias Kid Norfolk, is popularly supposed to be a colored gentleman of some mental superiority, one who swings real estate deals by day and punches by night to the everlasting benefit of the bankroll. But the best of us make mistakes and the Kid made his last night. He landed possibly a dozen solid punches on Tom Gibbons in an abbreviated bout and five of them went beyond the foul line. That was a most reprehensible proceeding. It transformed the calm, super-courteous Gibbons into a merciless "killer," and the Kid became the victim of a technical knockout after 55 seconds of fighting in the sixth round. For his own sake, I would like to see Gibbons hit low at least twice in every future flight, providing no serious or lasting damage. "The SNOB" HI DIFFERENT Monta Bell, Harry Raytorial discovery, has hit successful film in "The S Metro-Goldwyn picture opens tonight at the theater. Bell, in this picturez Helen R.

The story is that of some, personable young instructor in a private ACTION, THRILLS IN UNITED OFFERING Few persons who witness a showing of "The Code of the Wilderness" which will be shown at the United theater Wednesday and Thursday will realise how narrowly a catastrophe was averted in making one of the early sequences. The picture opens with a buckboard carrying Alice Calhoun, Alan Hale, Otis Harlan and Kitty Bradbury, stuck in the mud of a river. A location was selected with care by the director, David Smith, after careful soundings had been made to ascertain the bed was free from quicksand which abound in that neighborhood. The scene was in progress and the buckboard passing into the stream when the horses frightened by a section of tree floated down by a cloudburst in the mountains, awerved to one side. They plunged off the path of safety, becoming involved in the grip of the quicksand. Alan Hale, who was driving, fought grimly to swing them back. John Bowers on horseback plunged into the water and went to the rescue. Alice Calhoun remains to be seen. Griffith, they say, will introduce a resolution offering a vote of confidence in the Landis regime and if the Battler does not like it, he may find himself relieved of his post as president of the American League, in which case is alleged that Ban's salary will be continued for the duration of his contract because of the great service he has rendered baseball in the past. The National League, according to Garry Herman, will take not vote on the subject. He claims that the organization has been with the judge from the first and therefore sees no reason why it should repeat itself. It is understood also that some of the majors have even gone so far as to espouse the case of the Pacific Coast League which has become somewhat overheated by Johnson's charge that gambling was rampant throut its circuit, last season. The charge, it is alleged, had its basis from innuendos appearing in newspapers Johnson happened to read. All in all, it looks like a busy week for Battling Ban.

The scene was in progress and the buckboard passing into the stream when the horses frightened by a section of tree floated down by a cloudburst in the mountains, swerved to one side. They plunged off the path of safety, becoming involved in the grip of the quicksand. Alan Hale, who was driving, fought grimly to swing them back. John Bowers on horseback plunged into the water and went to the rescue. Alice Calhoun and Kitty Bradbury, thoroughly frightened, struggled to maintain their seats. The horses plunged madly about, threatening to overturn the buckboard, and then before anyone could explain just how it was done. Mr. Hale swung the animals about and brot the wagon to a standstill. The momentum threw Hale from his seat into the river. This latter action was caught by the camera and turns a tragic moment into a humorous situation on the screen. GENERAL TREND OF STOCKS OFF NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Reactionary tendencies dominated the stock market today and, while forward movements continued in a number of stocks and groups of stocks, and many new high prices for the year were established, the general direction of the market was downward. Weakness in the oil stocks was a handicap to the market throut most of the session with stocks in this group losing from 1 to 3 points from Tuesday's high level. As in previous session there was a notable decline in the volume of offerings of speculative stocks at the lower price levels. No one was inclined to sacrifice value even with the prospect of a "quick turn" in recently acquired stocks, and bearish traders who tried to bring about a general reaction found little encouragement in the way of an outpouring of long stocks. Considerable profit-taking was indulged in, but not enough to impose a heavy burden on the market, and in many cases represented only the shifting of speculative interest from one group of stocks to another.

Bell, in this picturization of Helen R. Martin's popular novel, has gone far from the usual film plot and treatment.

The girl's basketball teams both won against Santa Ana there, the Monta Bell, Harry Rapf's directorial discovery, has hit his third successful film in "The Snob," the Metro-Goldwyn picture which opens tonight at the California theater. Bell, in this picturization of Helen R. Martin's popular novel, has gone far from the usual film plot and treatment. His direction of this blay ranks with his first sensational success, "Broadway After Dark." The story is that of a handsome, personable young snob, an instructor in a private academy, and a favorite lecturer at women’s clubs. The central character is admirably played by John Gilbert, as the young instructor. The "snob," anxious to advance himself by any means, makes ardent love to the daughter of the town’s wealthiest man, although he is engaged to a country school teacher. He becomes the teacher’s husband in a death-bed marriage, and she, contrary to the doctor’s prediction, recovers. The "snob's" treatment of her, his infidelity, and his attempts to release himself from the marriage in order to marry the wealthy widow, his fawning on those of greater wealth and position, and his arrogance to those below him, form the basis of the story. The school teacher leaves him when she discovers his unfaithfulness, and he, learning that she is really a wealthy woman, begs her to come back. Harry Langdon, the Mack Sennett comedian, will be shown in another of his very funny comedies, "His New Mama," and the International News completes the picture program. Geo. E. Turner, the concert organist at the California, has arranged another treat for lovers of good music in the novelty musical number which he will play today and Thursday. ROTARIANS GUESTS OF CALIFORNIA The Rotary Club attended the California theater in a body last night and all were very enthusiastic over the reception accorded them. George Reid, the genial secretary of the Anaheim C. of C., with two fellow Rotarians, were judges in the dance contest. CLAIMS WRONG HOUSE SEARCHED Art Eella, marshal, and Wm.

She says her house was thorny ransacked, contents of drawers were dumped out and a carpet stained. She asks $175 for damages to her home and $10,000 for humiliation resulting from neighbors gossiping. The complaint, filed by Attys West & West of Santa Ana, says the affidavit was not signed too it bore the notary seal of Judge French. The bondsmen of Eells and French were also made defendants.
