YOU! Are elected! to see GAIETY GIRL Mary PHILBIN UNITED THEATRE TO-NITE AND WEDNESDAY Prices: 25c-10c HOWARD JONES TROJAN COACH LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3—Howard Jones, nationally known football coach, has been selected as the successor of Elmer Henderson, former head football coach at the U. of S. C., it was learned today from a source close to the powers in local football. University officials refused to confirm or deny reports of Jones' selection, but an announcement was made than an official statement would be forthcoming later today. Johes is a brother of the famous "Tad" Jones of Yale and was formerly coach at the University of Iowa and piloted the team several years ago that defeated Yale. Later he was coach of a college at Durham, N. C. Jones' name was prominently mentioned as a second choice to Knute Rockne to fill Henderson's "THE GAIETY GIRL" AT UNITED THEATRE "The Gaiety Girl" tragic love story laid in a glittering setting of London's hectic night life, the glare of the footlights and the tinsel of a musical comedy, contrasted with the majestic grandeur of the castles of the nobility, is Mary Philbin's latest and greatest starring vehicle. This is the attraction at the United theatre tonight and tomorrow. She is the same Mary Philbin—but in modern garb and an ultra modern setting. In an ancient British castle, in the whirl of the footlights and in the tragic denouncement of her tangle of marriage, heartache and disillusionment, she is the same appealing little charmer. The story is a striking expose of London society, and is an intensely dramatic vehicle staged on a lavish scale. Through it all Mary Philbin is intensely human. Spectacular reproductions of the Ritz and the Theatre in SEATTLE, Feb. 3—"Get him dead or alive," was the order flashed the length of the Pacific coast today by Seattle police officers who are searching for Elmer F. Manheart, contracting carpenter, who is alleged to have been with Mrs. Lillian Helen Morley when she was mysteriously murdered in a taxicab here Saturday night. The police were at first inclined to believe that they would find Manheart dead—he is said to have threatened suicide at the same time he is charged with having threatened Mrs. Morley because of her refusal to yield to his advances. But this theory was displaced today with the discovery that an auto had been stolen Sunday morning immediately after the murder in the vicinity of Manheart's home. Special requests for assistance have been wired to Los Angeles where Manheart first met Mrs. Morley two years ago in the home of her sister, and to Spokane where Manheart's father is said to live. Mrs. Morley's body was taken to Victoria, B. C., this morning by her husband. The latter explained that the separation from his wife had been only temporary, and that they were to have reunited Easter.

Johes is a brother of the famous "Tud" Jones of Yale and was formerly coach at the University of Iowa and piloted the team several years ago that defeated Yale. Later he was coach of a college at Durham, N.C. Jones' name was prominently mentioned as a second choice to Knute Rocke to fill Henderson's shoes during the long discussion which ensued when the Notre Dame mentor was talked of as a leader for the Trojan squad.

Anderson, speaking at the eighty-eighth annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Chicago, audited the theory of evolution and declared fundamentalists "out of date." "Evolution is more closely in harmony with the teaching of God than the old time mechanical concept of the creation of the earth in seven days," Bishop Anderson declared. "Episcopalians are modernists. We believe that scientific knowledge is a benefit to religion."

Jack Dempsey has fought his last battle under the management of Jack Kearnes. This statement was made today, by way of confirmation of the reported estrangement between the pair, by a man distinctly on the "inside" of nearly every big bout in this country. "That part of the thing is 'in' he declared. "You can bet your last cent on it. Unless something is done to bring them together, Dempsey and Kearns will go their separate ways from now on." He then went on to elaborate upon his statement by telling of incident that occurred when the champion and his manager were last in the east. Dempsey, he said, was on his way past a famous restaurant in town when one of his party suggested going inside. "Kearns is there," he explained. The champion's reply was to turn on his heel and walk in the opposite direction, after making a few unfavorable remarks about his manager, according to the story. It is not believed that the gesture was the result of a passing grievance. Dempsey is not given to showing his resentment over trivial or temporary differences with members of his official family. Further significance is given the statement by the tone of Dempsey's recent announcement of his withdrawal from the ring. On that occasion, he made reference to Kearns as merely a business partner, never a friend. That remark came as a shock to those who have witnessed their amiable relation. IMPERSONATOR AT KIWANIS LUNCHEON KIwanis luncheon hour was enlivened today with the presence of Mme. Lina Russell, reader and Impersonator, who is now retired from the entertainment stage. Mme. Russell enjoys an enviable distinction in having known Jas. Whitcomb Riley personally and intimately, as he and her father were "chums" in their Hoosier home, and as a young girl Mme. Russell was in the company of the famous poet countless times. Her father, she remembers, was in the room with Riley at the time he penned "The Ole Swimmin' Hole," and includes that number of her reportoire were often.

John Duncan Dunn, internationally famous golf expert, who is laving out the championship 18-hole golf course, has 11 holes already graded. Mr. Gilkey says that a permit for the construction of the clubhouse will be obtained at once. The Parkridge Country club is for the man of average means and also, for the man who wants to play golf, but cannot afford it and in putting golf within the reach of every man, Mr. Gilkey appears in the role of a philanthropist. Leading So. Californians have endorsed the Parkridge Country club as a decided step in the concerted movement to make the southland an all-year playground. It also combines all the pleasures of a country club and mountain resort with the lure of a week-end excursion. NEW YORK CITRU NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—cars navels and five cars sold.

Tom Meighan Star in Last Macfarlane Novel Thomas Meighan comes to the California theatre for Wednesdays and Thursday next in a Paramount screen version of "Tongues of Flame," the last novel by the late Peter Clark Macforlane—a Joseph Henabery production with Bessie Love, Elise Percy and others playing in support of the star. The picture shows how Boland, an unscrrupulous business man, and Scanlon, his tricky lawyer, steal a large tract of land from the Indians. Through Boland's efforts three towns spring up on the land and 30 years later Boland, rich and powerful, rules the towns and everyone in them. At the close of the Great War, "Hell Fire" Harrington, the role played by Tom Meighan, opens a law office in one of the towns. He falls in love with Boland's daughter, Billie, and for a time works for Boland, wilfully blind to the utter's unethical transactions. Then a little half-breed school teacher who is in love with Harrington, opens his eyes to the fact that Boland is using him as a tool to swindle the Indians for the second time. In spite of the fact that Boland threatens to ruin and disgrace him Harrington takes up the Indians' fight. The squabble over property rights reaches the Supreme Court and is decided in the Indians' favor. This turns the entire town against Boland—and what a scene there is! Crowds surge through the streets firing warehouses and shipping. It's a case of mob rule until Harrington arrives on the scene with a little band of loyal Indians who had served in his company in the World War and brings the townspeople to their senses. There’s action-plus in “Tongues of Flames” dramatized heart-appalal and all the rest. Meighan has never done anything quite like it before. If you’re a Meighan fan, you’ll see this one! The story was adapted for the screen by Townsend Martin. Others in the cast include Cyril Ring, Nick Thompson, Burton Churchill, John Miltern, Leille Stowe, Jerry Devine and Kate Mayhew. “Yukon Jake,” a scream of a comedy with Ben Turpin in the Paramount’s “EAST OF SUEZ” IS RIOT OF COLORFUL SETTINGS "East of Suez," Pola Negri's latest Paramount starring picture, showing at the California for the final times tonight, challenges for color and richness, anything ever before seen on the screen. The settings included in the picture, which was adapted by Sada Cowan from Someret Maugham's stage play by that name, show a magnificent Chinese house-boat furnished with gorgeous eastern hangings, idols of bronze and rare Chinese carpets; a Chinese garden; a Chinese temple which rivals in magnificence the famed places of Pekin; scenes on an ocean liner and an amazing array of fashion which contrasts the modes of both Paris and the Orient. Among the tense dramatic situations which are developed by the story are scenes between two men and a woman with a glass of polished wine; the intrigue of a powerful Chinese nobleman in his efforts to win a foreign bride; the exciting moment when Pola Negri as the persecuted heroine throws herself from a house-boat into a river in the dead of night and many additional scenes (said to contain enthralling human interest). Edmund Lowe, Rockcliffe Fellows and Noah Beery are featured in support of Miss Negri. The Liege Conley Comedy "Motor Mad" is sure rightfully named as it is a mad riot of laughs from start to finish. The International News shows very interesting scenes of the latest news. Geo. E. Turner is playing as a special screen song, "Kiss Me Goodnight," one of the latest popular hits and received a big ovation at every show yesterday. Don't forget that tonight the election returns will be given out at the California Theatre. The inconsiderate man appreciates neither his good health nor his good wife. leading role and International News will be shown. Geo. E.
