UNITED OFFERS FRONTIER THRILLS Thrills of the old plains, as reproduced in a "Wild West" show, alternates with such modern thrills as wild races between speed cops and a racing auto in "The Sawdust Trail," Hoot Gibson's latest Universal starring vehicle, a swift moving story in which laughs, chase thrills and chuckles follow sensations. The new picture, coming Friday and Saturday to the United theatre, is a continual thrill, except where Gibson's whimsical humor lightens it with laughs. Gibson plays the part of a college boy, whose scapegrace tricks are concealed from his parents and who, following adventure with a tent, through fences and into a lemonade stand in the show grounds is one of the high spots in the spectacular picture. A notable cast appears including Jose Sedgwick, known for her work in "Jubilio," and other pictures and a sister of the director, Edward Sedgwick; Charles K. French, G. Raymond Nye, W. T. McCulley, who contributes the motor cycle thrills, and other well-known players.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF OIL INDUSTRY By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER Production figures ror the well just closed revealed the fact that Athens-Rosecrans is slowly into an oil field and that it will have a considerable production fore the close of the year. No addition to production recently moved the field's aggregate output up close to 180,000 barrels a day. The drilling reports show some 25 wells drilling and a do or so of there are nearing completion. The Miley-Marland Company was pleased with the action well No. 1 turning from an estimated eight million cubic feet gasser to a 600 barrel oil well. The second producer of properties to come in was the Bartall's Rosecrans 2. This well completed at 4386 started off at 1980 barrels and later settling down 1350 barrels. The high gravel producers of the Athens-Rosecrans district do not maintain initial production long. Listed among the deep drillings are the General Petroleum Amstoy 1, the Pacific Petroleum Morrison, the Standard Oil Cowan 1, and the Union Oil Gordon 1. The General Petroleum Amstoy shows 6425 feet of oil. The Pacific Petroleum Morrison decided to halt operations temporarily on the Morrison well 5678, having had no showing indications. The Standard Oil Cowan 1 at 5435 is not shown anything that would make it norheast section of the field any good. W. M. Keck has decided to spend no more money on the Moreland well, abandoning 4718. The Union Oil's Gordon south section test well has reached 5525 and no oil or even ditions of oil. The Star Petroleum Co.'s Shaker maker 1 a central west section well drilled to 4593 bailed for production several days and found to have failed to effect water shut off. The well show plenty of oil and gas but was conditions prevented the well from making clean production. Water broke in on the Uni Oil Co.'s Trust No. 1 and proved a good looking production at 5001 from making good. Trainee showed a quantity of oil and that stands in the way of clean production now seems to be an effective water shut off. The shaking the well made was sufficient to prove at least a part of property. California's largest oil product is now located at Dominguez in the Associated Oll Co. is teh pro possessor.

The well is located in the DeFrancis property, No. Drilled to 4277 the big well started off at 5500 barrels, later increased to 5800 and at this time the gauge registers a few barrel over the 6000 mark. The well making 30 gravity oil and starts the OeFrancis property as one of the greatest oil producing properties in the Los Angeles Basin. Not all the honors of production went to the Associated Dominguez last week, the Shell brought in a couple of wells that were due for some consideration. Shell Reyes 18 completed at 4:45 is a 3100 barrel producer with Reyes 17 completed 310 feet deeper is a 2200 barrel well. Shell's Hellman 1 the deepest well in the proven area of the field is making hole at 5518 and is getting some good oil showing. The Birch Oil Co. is still holding to the idea that there is something on the southwest edge of the Domingues field and hard test well down 5700 feet looks for it. The deep sand situation at Trance passed another week without showing much of an improvement. The Laura J Oil Co.'s well at Lomita the field's best is down 4780 feet and shows so oil, but water trouble is preventing any suitable kind of production test from being made. Further work is being done on well the next move being to ascertain the point of entrance of water and plug it off. Drilling the C. C. H. O.'s Redondo with Francis 1 is now better than 5 and to date the well has shown a thing. A 1000 feet sticky brown shale has been drilled thru and still there does not seem to be any break. The Shell C Kettler 2 has passed the 5 mark and no showings. Probably the most important event of Torrance development this past week was the strike of the oil sand by the flen DENIED JOHNSON PLANS TO RESIGN CHICAGO, Dec. 18 — Alone and forsaken tho he may be, reports that Ban Johnson will resign as president of the American League as a result of yesterday's developments, were heatedly denied by friends of the gentleman in question. They were unanimous in stating that Johnson would stick, in spite of the resolution of the joint meeting of the major leagues whereby Johnson was shorn of his last vestige of power and the assurance given Judge Landis that Ban would be "removed from baseball", the first time he talked out of the corner of his mouth. Johnson was inaccessible today except to his immediate and personal friends. To these, however, he gave every indication that a resignation at this time was farthest from his thoughts. That he might step down later was not denied even by the strongest pro-Johnson man, of which there are still a few. A committee composed of Connie Mack, Tom Shibe and Clark Griffith, will wait upon Johnson this morning with a message, the purport, of which has not been divulged. It is said that they will ask Johnson not to resign. This if true, is quite without necessity. Johnson's friends have made it clear that he will not resign at this time because he feels that his dignity will not be nourished by quitting under fire. Later, they intimated, when he is firmly established and the present incident forgotten Johnson may offer to step down for a financial consideration running into a young fortune. Johnson's contract at an annual salary of $30,000 still has six years to run. EKLY REVIEW OF OIL INDUSTRY BELLWOOD J. MUNGER production figures for the week revealed the fact that Rosecrans is slowly coming to oil field and that it will considerable production become close to 180,000 barrels a The drilling reports show 5 wells drilling and a dozen of there are nearing commence.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18.—California's citrus fruit crop, worth many millions of dollars was saved from frost damage by extensive amudging operators, it was indicated today on the face of early reports from the affected districts. Many points in So. Cal. report- ed temperatures of 26 degrees above zero. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 18—With definite information on losses re- resulting from last night's freeze as yet unavailable, officials of the state and federal depart- mentes of agriculture here declar- today that serious damage would probably be restricted to the citrus crop of So. Calif. Four-fifths of the orange crop in the state at large is as yet unpicked, according to R. E. Blair, crop reporting expert of the federal government, but the crop of navel oranges in central and northern California is large packed and will escape damage. The temperature in northern and central California dropped to 28 degrees, according to R. H. Taylor, federal meteorologist with a temperature of 24 on the ground. Ground damage or oranges does not result unless the mercury drops to 28 or lower, it was stated. The cold snap will have the effect of retarding the growth of maturing pasture. Blair stated if it continues for several days longer. In the Sacramento delta district resulted from the cold snap, according to Meteorologist Taylor, and additional damage will probably be caused tonight. The temperature tonight will be virtually the same as last night in No. Calif., Taylor said. Practically all of the olive crop in the state has been picked, reports to the state department of agriculture indicated, and damage will be slight. Olives still on the trees are for the most part in- out necessity. Johnson's friends have made it clear that he will not resign at this time because he feels that his dignity will not be nourished by quitting under fire. Later, they intimated, when he is firmly established and the present incident forgotten Johnson may offer to step down for a financial consideration running into a young fortune. Johnson's contract at an annual salary of $30,000 still has six years to run. PROFIT TAKING EASILY ABSORBED NEW YORK, Dec. 18—Railroad stocks were reinforced by the stocks of prominent mercantile and mail orders houses in their drive for higher prices today. Prices jumped three to five points shortly after the opening, then relapsed into a period of inactivity and finally declined from the peaks on heavy profit taking. The waves of profit-taking which swept over the market were absorbed with only moderate setbacks. In every division of the rail list prices moved forward. Among the low prices shares, Wheeling and Lake Erle, Western Maryland, and New Haven attracted special attention. Large blocks of New Haven were taken at rising prices on reports that this road, which has been showing huge deficits in recent years will close 1924 with a surplus of $3,000,000, equivalent to $2 a share. Sharp advances in Sears Roebuck, Woolworth, Kresge and stocks of companies related to the retail industry, including American Can and Continental Can, featured the industrial list. United States Steel took the premier position in the metal stocks, settled up to 119 on a heavy turnover. A rise of nine points in the close—held Iron Products Common to 100 helped along the current advance in the common and pfd stocks of the Universal Pipe and Radiator Co. At 76% the latter stock was up three points to a new high for the year. This stock has risen 30 points since the first part of November. Standard Oil stocks were in good form, both on the curb and in the list market. Standard Oil of New Jersey sold up 1½ points at the head of a movement in the 'oil shares in which Pan-American and a few of the other independent oils followed. Equipment coppers, independent steels and motor stocks were generally inactive with narrow changes in prices. Stock sales today 2,028,700 shares; bonds $17,268,000.

M. Landis. The hottest kind of a tip deferred that either Landis or Johnson or both would come from the meeting divorced from all connections with organized baseball. This information seeped out from the so-called "peace conference" in which Col. Jacob Rupert, New York; E. S. Baron, Cleveland, and John Shibe, Philadelphia, waited upon the judge with overtures of good will. So emphatic were Landis's views on the subject that both leagues bulged in informal meetings before their scheduled conclave, in order to reach a prior decision on the Landis issue, which was deemed to involve the judge's resignation unless the magnates met views on the subject of Johnson. Failure to do so, it was said, could precipitate the passing of Landis from baseball. According those in the judge's confidence, only a definite decision by both leagues on the Johnson matter will appease him and it was regarded possible that Landis and Johnson might resign before nightfall. The National League will take action in the matter, it was claimed. As matters stand, the American league has censured Johnson and commended Landis. Johnson's contract, however, has six years run, and with the exception of Marley Comiskey of Chicago, every American League magnitude is favor of letting the dead past be a peaceful death. Whether this will be sufficient to hold Landis, remains for today's meeting to divulge.

We know that you are going to enjoy this and do not hesitate in recommending it as one of the best musical acts that have been at the California. Jam California For Toyland Revue The "Toyland Revue" the brilliant fantasy staged at the California last night certainly made a tremendous hit with the capacity crowd that jammed the doors of Anaheim's popular photoplay palace. From the opening scenes until the closing there were round after round of applause for the little kiddies who demonstrated their unusually good talents in the different dances. Their costumes were beautiful and with the gorgeous stage settings and the exceptionally good stage lightings made it the most beautiful stage presentation ever seen in Southern California. Miss Caitoutt, who has drilled these little folks, all of whom are from Anaheim and Orange county conducts a school of dancing here and the results obtained last night show the wonderful training the children have received. The Photoplay, "The Silent Accuser," with "Peter the Great" the new miracle police dog scored a big hit and is by far the best picture with a dog as the leading actor, that has been produced.

Fields and Brown in "What Are We Coming To?" offer an act that is chuck full of laughs from start to finish. Oppus and Ramos the "Two Versatile Chaps from the Phillipines" have a Musical offering that you will enjoy. Petrie and Gregory in the "Aces Back to Back" present one of the funniest acts in vaudeville today.

George O'Brien, the featured William Fox star ably abetted by dainty Dorothy Mackalli, scores a big hit in "The Painted Lady" at the California Friday only. It was one of the season's most notable pictures. The story deals with the problem of the young girl alone in the world, forced by hunger to become a "painted lady;" and in a rich, romantic South Sea setting gives a convincing satisfying answer to the question "Can a girl come back?" Miss Mackalli as the girl, turns loose her whole talented temperament, attaining lyric heights of pristine passion under the flaming Southern Cross. O'Brien and the now famed "O'Brien Smile" annexed new laurels as the virile sailor chan whose clean, mighty love was as a bridge from the girl's painted past to the new life of husband, home and heaven.
