How sad to see such pallid faces—As on the man who nightly paces, Worried sleepless over bills; Even though they're due, and rightly. He can't pay 'em, pacing nightly, By contracting otherills.

THE REAL ALASKA SEEN AT UNITED One is used to looking at a society picture and considering the gowns costly. Did you ever realize that the collection of costly furs in a snow picture far outvalue tinsel and stage jewelry. For instance in Norman Dawn's genuine Alaskan drama, "The Lure of the Yukon," over $200-000.00 in valuable furs are worn by the actors. Valuable blue fox, mink,ermine, wolverine, caribou, reindeer, maten sable, muskrat, scalskin and polar bear skins are worn. Miss Eva Novak, who plays the heroine, wears a costume made of 12 unborn baby caribou skins and valued at over $4,500.00. These skins are soft as silk and of a rare warmth and pliancy. In order to get those 12 unborn skins 12 mother caribou were killed and the unborn fawns were skinned. This give a fur unrivalled by even baby seal skin for richness and softness. The costume was loaned to Miss Novak for the picture by an Esquimo Chief, who had the costume made for his Indian bride several years before. Through the governor's influence the chief was influenced to let it be used in making the picture. This wonderful showing of furs enrich a drama already filled full of thrilling episodes picturing the historical Yukon River and its hardy people. To be shown at the United Theater on Friday and Saturday. Stock Permanent At United Theater Always alert to give his patrons the very best in the theatrical market. Manager Anderson of the United Theater announces today that he had decided to make permanent dramatic stock a part of his regular weekly policy, and will present the celebrated Earl Wallace Players each Sunday at 2 and 7 p.m. This stock company will present carefully selected plays that have had successful New York runs. The Earl Wallace Players have had many very recent Broadway plays offered them for production, that have never been sent on western tours, and it is the intention of these popular players to present the newest plays available for stock production. Following "Merely Mary Ann" which is the attraction for Sunday "The Misleading Lady" will be seen. Manager Anderson has been very fortunate in being able to secure these popular players. At their first appearance they won a great many admirers and it is to be hoped that the number will be greatly increased this Sunday, night's opening performance the annual vaudeville showpecting to get mainly quail must have been badly disguised. The show contained no plus, and there was hardly any anywhere. The Powder Puff Revue, ample, was one of the daintest things imaginable little Mary Ellen Nickson kewpie, while "It Pays to tise," in which various wide vertised household foods and wore "impersonated" by a cast, was a most pliant noun. Costumes, scenery, sets songs were new and novel. The house was so interest forgot to applause. One have supposed the audience frozen up at times but in pretty hard usually to get in edgewise—there was some doing all the time—and they had to keep their ears open fear of missing something. This vaudeville show would credit to a university draught FEW TRACES OF MARKET UP NEW YORK, Dec. 12. traces remain today of the speculative selling which she the stock market on Wednesday and Thursday and which inish quarters was hailed as the ginning of the end of the movement in stock prices. the rumors concerning the act in the rediscount rate of theeral reserve bank set at anish traders ready to take their stocks at the lower prevailing at the opening market, buying orders presented and prices moved for briskly from the start.

At The California Theatre VIOLA DANA IN ALONG CAME RUTH Quality Plus” As Well As Quantity In H. S. Vode Bill anybody who went to last night’s opening performance of annual vauderville show, exiting to get mainly quantity that have been badly disappointing. The show contained quality acts, and there was hardly a hitch anywhere. The Powder Puff Revue, for example, was one of the daintiest, tittiest things imaginable, with the Mary Ellen Nickson as a apple, while “It Pays to Adver-” in which various widely ad-dised household foods and goods are “impersonated” by a big man, was a most plquant novelty. SATURDAY GIFT NIGHT AT CALIF. Saturday night is Gift Nite at the California Theater and there are over $100 in gifts to be given away. Beautiful, broke, but brave—that’s the position the heroine of a picture is sure to find most appealing to her audience—and that’s exactly the way Viola Dana starts off in her latest Metro picture, “Along Came Ruth,” which opens at the Theater. Miss Dana needs only a clever story punctuated with amusing situations and she’s off—to the delight of everyone who sees her. “Along Came Ruth” is just that kind of a story, and the tiny Metro star proves she’s as attractive when she’s funny, and vice versa. Vivacious Miss Dana has one of her best roles in that of the girl who woke up the sleepiest town in Maine and her engaging personality makes it easy to understand why the whole town worshipped her. The story centers around Ruth Ambrose a pretty girl who has failed as a commercial artist, but is bound to succeed at something. Broke, but with a defiant tilt to her chin, she arrives in Action, Me. She “hires out” for her board to the owner of a down-at-the-heel furniture store for a week. From that moment on, Action begins to live up to its name and fairly sings with her activities. She converts the dusty old store into a modern thriving establishment. She pays off her employer’s debts by the successful sale she inaugurates. Every unmarried man in town falls in love with her, but she picks out the struggling lawyer-son of her employer. Then, just to show the richest man in Action that she does care for him, even though she won’t marry him, she has him elected mayor. NEW TRACES OF MARKET UPSET NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Few pieces remain today of the heavy circulative selling which so upset stock market on Wednesday Thursday and which in bear quarters was hailed as the beginning of the end of the current movement in stock prices. With rumors concerning the advance the rediscount rate of the federal reserve bank set at and bull-traders ready to take backir stocks at the lower prices awaiting at the opening of the market, buying orders predominate and prices moved forward略从 the start. Further progress was made to by the representatives of the obvious roads concerned in the kellet Plate amalgamation and those emanating from the committee rooms was that, while noification might be expected in terms of the exchange of stocks, originally made, the leases probably be broadened to meet wishes of dissenting minority stakeholders. The Van Sweringen stocks wereordingly made the leaders in brilliant upward movement of broad shares today, tho a num- of the low priced stocks like Paul and New Haven made individual advances for special rea-s. New York, Chicago and Stuuls, the original Nickel'Plate, advanced six points to a new highove 124; Chesapeake and Ohio at 97% against Thursday's rise of 93% and last week's low 90%; Erie, Pere Marquette, Missouri Pacific and Southern Railway were also in good deand at around the best prices of the year, and Reading made an improvement at about one point. Each act brought to light a new novelty and new phases of the school's talent. The fashion show, "Moods of the Mode"—significant title—enabled some of the school's preties girls to show off some striking dresses, gowns, coats, shoes and hats. Clifford Taber and Gretchen Holland as Romeo and Juliet, in the balcony scene of Shakespeare's greatest love drama, did some wonderfully finished work. The voices of both were well-adapted to the work, and both revealed quite a bit of ability. "Maude," the sales girl, played by Katherine Montenyohl, in the "Florist Shop," made the most of her opportunity and kept the audience so busy that they let many a good chance for applause go by. All of the girls in the "Powder Puff Revue" did well and their team work also was excellent. The most elborae act of the ten of course was "It Pays to Advertise." Thirteen different articles, including breakfast foods, soap, washing powders, etc., were represented. A bigger variety of costumes and makeup, in consequence, couldn't be imagined. There were contrasts, also, galore. David Scars as the Arrow Collar Man—the perfect gentleman cane turnedover glove and all—contrasted with Albers' Pancake Man went off on a jamboree down into the audience and had to be brot back—with difficulty—by the pages. Setting off the robust Aunt Jemima such figures as that of the "Time to Re-tire" ad, a little girl in her nightie with a big tire. Agnes Nelson, who plays this part, can offer points to Mary Pickford in depicting "ages and ages ago." Eunice Hylton as The Maxola Girl, an Indian maiden; Arthur Dickensen as the Campbell Soup Kid, a yellow chick or something of the sort; and Mildred Lacouette and Madeline Toussou, as the Gold Dust Twins, were all hits. In fact it's a little unjust to pick out anybody in particular in this cast. Claude Preston was an excellent "honorable salesman". The rhymes he spoke were written by Clarence Callor. Jerome Glass and Britta Price, the announcers, filled in the interim effectively. Their mimicry of Romeo and Juliet was really funny, and Price showed remarkable nerve in paging "Bill Hale" in the audience. Joshua Williams had the orchestra well in hand, and it played like a bunch of professionals. There was also a professional jazz orchestra on the stage, backing Lawrence Mitchell, playing the violin and singing. The opening chorus, "Bughouse Fables," "The Bold Bad Bandits" and "Coincidences in Cornfed Crossings" compared well with the other acts. Miss Luclille S. Bickley, an upholstered store for a week. From that moment on, Action begins to live up to its name and fairly sings with her activities. She converts the dusty old store into a modern thriving establishment. She pays off her employer's debts by the successful sale she inaugurates. Every unmarried man in town falls in love with her, but she picks out the struggling lawyer son of her employer. Then, just to show the richest man in Action that she does care for him, even though she won't marry him, she has him elected mayor. In addition to the feature and Gift Nite, another of the Go-Getter Series with Alberta Vaughn in the leading role, a very funny Aesop Fable and No. 5 of "Into the Net" will be shown. Tonight is the showing of the big picture, "The Cyclone Rider." Five classy acts of vaudeville and the special California orchestra. 50 CHILDREN IN TOYLAND REVUE A very clever Toyland Revue will be staged at the California Theater next Wednesday and Thursday, in conjunction with the big thrilling photoplay, "The Silent Accuser," with "Peter the Great," the new miracle police dog. This revue which was written and directed by Miss Claire Coutant of Los Angeles is one of the most brilliant fantasies that has ever been presented in Anaheim. The kiddies that are taking part in this are all pupils of Miss Coutant, who conducts a class in dancing here each week and several weeks of real hard work has been indulged in by all to get ready for this treat of treats.
