And the camera caught it. And it is in the picture. While filming a scene, Hoxie rode furiously along a trail through the timber and decided to leap his big white horse. Scout, over a fallen tree some four feet in diameter. Scout cleared the tree but his forefoot caught in a snag, and horse and rider turned completely over in the air. It seemed as though Hoxie would be crushed to death beneath the animal, but horse and man were on their feet together and Hoxie leaped into the saddle and the wild ride was continued. After the scene was finished Hoxie looked as though something was wrong and strode over to confide to Cliff Smith, the director that something was painting him and surgeon summoned from the nearby town found three ribs broken. Hoxie continued the picture, his body bound in adhesive tape.

Johnson, who, with Geo Weiss, owner of the New Hanford club of the Eastern League, been here more than a week, day declared he had nothing say but Weiss admitted they were remaining in California in hopes of buying a Coast club. The Washington hurler, according to Weiss, is chagrined at failure to buy an interest in Oakland club. "It was no fault of ours we not buy Oakland as we were to go ahead but the Oak own simply declared the deal off," said Weiss.

C. athletic authorities went into a conference here today and when the smoke cleared away it was predicted the world would be told that: 1. Football Coach Elmer C. Henderson has torn up his two year contract and put $14,500 in the bank or Los Angeles real estate correct. 2. Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame University is all ready to step into Henderson's shoes. 3. Harry Stubdreher, all-American quarterback and leader of the famed "four horsemen," of South Bend, Ind., will be Rockne's assistant. No explanation was forthcoming before the Trojan went into secret session as to how Rockne would push aside his ten-year contract at Notre Dame. It was said because his wife had been ordered to live in a mild climate, the Irish coach was extremely anxious to come to So. Calif. As an added inducement the Los Angeles university offered Rockne $10,000 annually. In addition it was said the Notre Dame mentor would receive a percentage of all gate receipts during the football season. Because U. S. C. annually plays before crowds running on an average from 25,000 to 70,000 persons, it was estimated this would give Rockie an income of more than $25,000 a year, allowing him only a small percentage of the football money. Coach Henderson refused today to make a statement after he conferred last night with Trojan authorities. It was believed an amicable settlement would be reached. Henderson accepting $12,000 salary for the two years his contract has to run and a $2,500 bonus. He is said to have offers from Nebraska, Columbia and other colleges. DENY ROCKNE WILL QUIT SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 15.—Officials at the University of Notre Dame in response to persistent rumors that Knute Rockne, athletic director at the Irish institution, would resign today, announced that the famous mentor will remain here at least for nine years remaining of his contract.

Those on the inside are so certain of Leonard's retirement they predict official verification will be forthcoming from the gator himself before the end of the winter season. They declare that Benny is about ready to yield to the importance of his mother who has come to the conclusion that the footlights lend great dignity than the first flourish.

OPEN FRIDAY Only PEP SPEED FUN ON THE SCREEN WILLIAM FOX presents SHIRLEY MASON IN "That French Lady" LADIES BARGAIN MATINEE LADIES 15c MUSIC AT NIGHT BY CALIFORN ORCHESTR OIL AND COPPER STOCKS BOUGHT "THIEF OF BAGDAD" CLOSES TONIGHT Douglas Fairbanks' glorious fantasy of The Arabian Nights OIL AND COPPER STOCKS BOUGHT NEW YORK, Jan. 15—Speculative stocks today displayed little of the reactionary tone which featured yesterday’s session. Traders appeared to be more anxious to buy than to sell the industrial stocks, particularly the oils and coppers. Some of the prominent stocks which lost heavily on Wednesday, essayed to gain their lost ground in one flying leap in the first period, but they encountered fairly liberal selling and were compelled to retreat. There were few spectacular moves in any section of the market and practically all of the wide price changes were upwards. With a large volume of profit taking sales out of the way, traders were inclined to consider the favorable industrial developments which were ignored in yesterday’s rush to unload at declining prices. These included the increase in U. S. Steel Corporation’s operations to 95 percent; the heavy drainage on crude and refined oil supplies and the consequent advance in gasoline prices; the improving foreign trade situation and the interesting developments in commodity prices. Trading was in much smaller volume than in the previous sessions of the week. Sales in the first three hours aggregated 934,900 shares against 1,200,000 in the same period Wednesday. The oil stocks made up a large bulk of the transactions, buying being particularly heavy in Shell, Union, Cosden, Ma-land, Simms, Pure Oil, and Pan-Ann, and the listed Standard Oils. On the curb market the oils were similarly active and strong. Copper stocks were in good demand in the late trading. Stock sales totalled today 1,736,200 shares; bonds $15,758,000. COTTON OPENS STEADY NEW YORK, Jan. 15—Cotton prices were fairly steady at the opening of trading today with the first prices from five to nine points lower, January opened at 23.05; down nine points; March at 23.80; down five points and May 24.07, down six points. The cotton market was unsteady at the close today with final prices from five points higher to two. “THIEF OF BAGDAD” CLOSES TONIGHT Douglas Fairbanks’ glorious fantasy of The Arabian Nights “The Thief of Bagdad” will end its engagement at the California Theater tonight. Some interesting facts regarding the making of this extraordinary picture, are: The first scene was made July 5, 1923, and the last scene January 26, 1924. Previous to actual “shooting,” eight months were spent in research and planning. Over 20,000 feet of film, the equivalent of four ordinary five-reel pictures was used in making tests of makeup and costumes. The Bagdad set occupied about 6 acres of space; the bazaar set alone covered over two acres with a solid concrete floor four inches thick. This was enameled black and while being used was re-enamed several times a week. Being laid in so remote a period and environment, it was impossible to obtain props or costumes of the proper character without making them to order. Even the shoes for the thousands of extras were made to order. Some of the props were imported from the Orient, some reproduced from museum originals and some from old paintings. Some interesting scenes in the International News and a very funny Felix Cat Cartoon are on the bill. A beautiful musical and scenic prelude to the picture and the perfect interpretation of the musical score by George E. Turner, concert organist make this a program that will be long remembered.

First we have Dave Eveline in "Fun Twisters," a pleasing combination of nut comedy, singing, talking, dancing and aerobatics that is real comedy. George and Art Reidel in their offering "Musical Revue De Luxe" show themselves to be masters of the accordion. They play both popular and classical numbers. Andre and LaZelere are two beautiful girls with winsome personalities and are most wonderful dancers and their act. "Eight Minutes in the Art of Terpsichore" will please even the most fastidious. Hibbert and Nugent present "Sons of Ham" one of the funniest acts that has ever been seen on the vaudeville stage, and is one that the management is safe in guaranting that it will make you laugh.

These two comedians were formerly with Ringling Bros. Circus. "That French Lady." Shirley Mason's latest starring vehicle is the feature booked for Friday only and is an adaption of W. J.
