A throbbing Melodrama from the Book of Life with— Seena Owen, Gaston Glass Flora LeBreton, Marlin Faust Joseph Stricker "BABY PEGGY" IN HER LATEST COMEDY "The Poor Kid" FORBES PLANS FIGHT TO LAST CHICAGO, Jan. 31—Col. Chas R. Forbes and John W. Thompson, found guilty in federal court of conspiracy to defraud the government, will carry their fight on "to the supreme court if necessary," their attorneys announced today. Forbes was once chief of the veterans bureau and a trusted friend of the late Prea Harling, while Thompson is a wealthy St. Louis and Chicago contractor. Following the reading of the verdict, the jury late yesterday both men were stunned and for several minutes there was absolute science in the courtroom. The court was adjourned to allow them to regain their composure. Forbes who insisted all thru the trial that he wanted to take the stand, but who did not, sat at the table facing the jury visibly trembling, his face flushed. Thompson, gray haired, immaculately groomed, was plainly moved. Forbes is racing a sentence of two years in prison or a $10,000 fine, or both, is only half thru with government prosecutions. He is scheduled to go on trial in Baltimore the latter part of February on a charge of looting the Perryville, Md., supply depot of the veterans bureau. Sentence will not be passed on the men until the motion for a new trial is heard on Feb. 4. Barrymore Great In His Latest Film "I Am The Man," which begins a limited engagement at the United theater Sunday, offers Lionel Barrymore, one of the greatest acting parts of his career and it may be noted in passing that he takes full advantage of the opportunity offered. Lionel Barrymore has long been considered BABY PEGGY AT UNITED THEATER Baby Peggy, the tiny darling of the screen, will be at the United theater Sunday and Monday in her latest comedy, "The Poor Kid." This tiny starlet will bring many hearty laughs to her admirers as she romps through this charming comedy. This is considered her star short production, therefore it is exceptionally good, as her former ones were considered good. Do not fail to see this little heart warmer with her happy smile and cunning ways. BUENA PARK BUENA PARK, Jan. 31—S. W. Robinson has purchased the stock of goods of the Scott & Frampton store and will continue the store at the same place. Mr. Robinson has been the manager of the store much of the time that Scott & Frampton have owned it, and is well and favorably known to our people. Mrs. Mae Faegan and Mrs. Elizabeth Faegan have moved into the house recently purchased by them, on Tenth St., next to Dr. Hasson. Mr. D. S. Teeter who has been in the hospital for several months recovering from injuries received in an auto accident, has sufficiently recovered to come home Thursday. Mrs. Anna Gross and children visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Dodd, at Winchester over the week-end. Mrs. Ivan Elmore surprised her husband Monday with a birthday dinner to which sixteen old friends from Los Angeles were invited. Mrs. E. W. Thurman is spending a week at Tujunga. Mrs. L. E Berkey, Stanley Berkey, and Mrs. M. S. Berkey, motored to Whittier Wednesday evening and Miss Hattie Stanley HOPE FRANCE TO MAKE REAL PLAN WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—The hope and expectation prevailed among administration officials that France shortly will approach the United States with a definite, concrete proposition for the discharge of her $4,000,000,000 war debts. No other interpretation, they said, could be placed on the first official statement made in this country by the new French ambassador, Emile Daeschner. In this statement, made to President Coolidge, in person, the ambassador said France was "firmly solicited of paying her material debt." The president in reply, assured M. Faeschner that this statement gave him "deep satisfaction." The acuteness of the Franco-American debt controversy could hardly have been more strikingly illustrated, for it is unusual, if not unprecedented for an ambassador to refer thus pointedly to an existing diplomatic problem at the moment he is presenting his credentials. Under the circumstances, administration officials said they accepted the French ambassador's statement at its face value, and interpreted it as constituting a formal pledge that France will pay. France's "material debt" consists of slightly in excess of $4,-000,000,000. There is nothing "political" about this sum, n the opinion of officials here, despite the inclination in Paris to divide the sum into "real" and "political" parts. Both Premier Herriot and M. Clementel, the finance minister, have referred recently to "the political debt," and the reference has caused considerable doubt as to just what was meant. It is assumed here that when Barrymore Great In His Latest Film "I Am The Man," which begins a limited engagement at the United theater Sunday, offers Lionel Barrymore, one of the greatest acting parts of his career and it may be noted in passing that he takes full advantage of the opportunity offered. Lionel Barrymore has long been considered one of the best actors not only of the screen but of the stage as well and he proves his right to the title of "America's greatest actor" by his work in "I Am The Man." A strong supporting cast helps to make this production one of the most interesting pictures seen in some time and we predict that it will prove one of the year's most successful photoplays. Among those who do excellent work are Seena Owen, Gaston Glass, Flora Le Breton, Martin Faust and Joe Striker. "I Am The Man" is a story of a strong man who has always been able to gratify his every wish and who took what he wanted. A power in finance and politics his every wish is law and it is only when he falls in love with a woman who does not reciprocate his affection that he learns that there are some things that money and power can not buy. How he works out the greatest problem of his life makes one of the most interesting pictures. AT THE ANTLERS HOTEL Otto Berth, P. P. Gillette and son, J.

SARGUM PROUTINGS By Sargum Sprout There is being much effort expended in attempting to land Tommy Gibbons for a fight in the City of the Angels. Tommy, it is said, is beginning to favor a western appearance and may accept some of the various offers made him Dick Donald, who manages the Lyceum club, claims to have the St. Paul wizard all but signed up to do battle at the Washington Ball Park some time in the near future. We would all like to see Tommy in action but not against the candidate mainly spoken of, Tony Fuente. It has been proven beyond a doubt that Tony's meteoric rise in the heavyweight world a few week's ago was just a wee bit shady if not rotten. He may prove that he was not on the Fulton frame-up and he may have done his best in all his other sensational knock-out battles, but he cannot prove he met a real man outside of Floyd Johnson, and that meeting left a very stale taste with all those who witnessed the affair. Johnson either pulled the fight, or else he has slipped back some thousand per cent. Tony's last fight, down in Mexico City, was so rotten that even the Mex's kicked, and it must have smelled to high heaven for that audience to howl. If the fight game is to prosper in California, the Fuentes and their ilk had better be left out. The fight game, to prosper, must be played fair and square; stacked decks and fixed fights will wreck the game quicker than anything. Even if Fuente has always been on the square with himself he has never proven that he has the ability to interest a man of Tommy Gibbons' ability, and a long distance skepticism prevailing here on the matter of Jack Dempsey's announced retirement from affairs of the fist comes a report today that would seem to bear out the good faith of the enampton's statement. The report is to the effect that Jack Kearns is soon to take over the management of Mickey Walker, world's welterweight champion, and it comes from sources of some little probity. Walker would neither deny nor confirm the report today but the fact is generally known that a deal between Jack and Mickey has been hanging fire for some time. It has been held in abeyance because of Walker's objection to playing piccolo accompaniments when he might be the bull fiddle under a more obscurable management. That objection would be removed automatically if Dempsey severs relations with Kearns and duly retires, as advertised. With the withdrawal of Benny Leonard and the announced intention of Dempsey to do likewise, Walker remains as the most notable of the ring champions today. The fact that Kearns is ready to do business with him indicates pretty strongly that the well collector of rare and well done coins is casting about for an unpunched mean ticket; that in short, Kearns is inclined to take Dempsey's announcement seriously. Kearns, of course, has tried to laugh this idea out of countenance. So has Tex Rickard both have become rich men three Dempsey's flair for punching retired piano movers in the rotunda, and they have high hopes for the future. They are natural skeptics on the subject of Dempsey's retirement. But the writer learned months ago that Demsey's ward movement in industry oil stocks was taken up diathetically after the opening market today and prices of of the active stocks were not up a point or more with blight from 500 to 5000 shares changed from 500 to 5000 shares chained more than a point from P. close. The favorable easements of Radio Corp., other industrial corporations, the new advances in price crude oil and gasoline were principal features affecting prices. For the tenth consecutive higher prices were announced leading refiners and distributors of oil products. Standard Oil New York boosted gasoline ancent in its territory complex rise of five cents a gallon on Jan. 1st. Humble Oil and Co. followed suit in southern ritory, Ohio Oil Co. advail Lima, Indiana, Princeton, mouth and Wooster crude 25 a barrel. Caiden jumped than a point on its first sale 5000 shares and rose two points 34% in the first hour. Indent oils, which have been made history continued to move for smartly in a heavy buying movement, the list including Sheilion, Pure Oil, Pan-American, lly, Royal Dutch, Simms, Slice etc. Tidewater and Atlantic fining led the high priced oil former up six points at 148. Standard Oils both on the list and the listed market, better their best previous prices for movement and in some cases at the highest prices on record. The not conspicuously active dustrial stocks like Radio, Wington Pump, Gulf States Steel Baldwin sold at slightly higher prices.

Inement, made to President in person, the ambasad France was "firmly so paying her material the president in reply, as Paeschner that this gave him "deep satisfiesness of the Franco-debt controversy could have been more strikingly for it is unusual, if not intended for an ambassador us pointed to an exist-static problem at the mois presenting his creature circumstances, adon officials said they ac- French ambassador's at its face value, and it as constituting a hedge that France will "material debt" con- lightly in excess of $4,-900. There is nothing about this sum, n the officials here, despite mention in Paris to divide into "real" and "political." Both Premier Herriot elemental, the finance have referred recently to real debt", and the refer- causes considerable as to just what was mentioned here that when even the Mex's kicked, and it must have smelled to high heave for that audience to howl. If the fight game is to prosper in California, the Fuentes and their ilk had better be left out. The fight game, to prosper, must be played fair and square; slacked decks and fixed fights will wreck the game quicker than anything. Even if Fuente has always been on the square with himself he has never proven that he has the ability to interest a man of Tommy Gibbons' ability, and a lopsided match is almost as harmful to the game as a fixed one. It is very difficult to find a man capable of interesting Gibbons. A man to make a showing with Gibbons must be a top notcher, and there are not many such animals in the heavyweight class these days. Walter Johnson has made another failure in the attempt to purchase a coast ball team. He has been dealing for the Vernon franchise, but Mr. Wrigley, of the Angels, made the going a little too steep for the great pitcher. To meet Wrigley's demands for the use of the new Wrigley park puts a scare into all would-be Vernon purchasers. The $200,-000 asked by Mr. Maler is not too much for the Vernon club but add to that $400,000 more for an interest in the Angel park or turn over a big percentage of a gross receipts for rent, the money end looms big.

The scene in question shows Pauline Frederick, co-starred in the picture with Laura La Plante, and her youthful husband, portrayed by Malcolm McGregor, on their honeymoon. To get the proper atmosphere a steamship trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco and return was necessary. "Smouldering Fires," one of Universal's big productions for the season of 1925, was filmed from an original story written expressly for Universal by Sada Cowan and Howard Higgins, noted collaborators of equally noted screen productions. Miss Frederick has the part of a middle-aged woman who falls in love with a youthful employee of the factory she owns and manages. They are married and in brief time the woman realizes that her husband and her young sister are in love with each other. The story ends with a dramatic solution by the wife of the tragedy that has come into her life, so long devoted exclusively to the management of the business left to her by her father. ELECTION RETURNS AT CALIF.

They are married and in brief time the woman realizes that her husband and her young sister are in love with each other. The story ends with a dramatic solution by the wife of the tragedy that has come into her life, so long devoted exclusively to the management of the business left to her by her father. The story is an intensively vivid one of the not unusual situation in real life and is considered a sensational expose of a certain phase of the divorce evil. The picture was produced on a lavish scale, and many of the scenes were photographed in the work room of one of the biggest factories on the Pacific coast with the actors working in the presence of scores of women performing their daily task at humming machines. Tully Marshall, Wanda Hawley, Helen Lynch and a number of well-known character actors are in the supporting cast.
