PAGE EIGHT UNITED THEATRE 306 EAST CENTER STREET TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY HAL ROACH Presents THE BIGGEST LAUGH OF THE YEAR The Battling Orioles With GLENN TYRON It's the funniest thing since "Father" was Shiek of the Horschair Sofa BILLY SULLIVAN at "SEEING RED" ROBERT STRANG at the Organ Scenic "Swanee River" SCENE FROM "The BATTTLING ORIOLES" UNITED TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY CLARK GRIFFITH FACING DEMANDS NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—According to the best and most recent advice, Clark Griffith is beginning to pay the first installment on the price of success, an ant that all pennant winners of recent years, particularly the New York Yanks, have been forced to meet. The good word from the friend ham belt is to the effect that Walter Johnson has come out in the open as a holdout for the first time in his career and wants $25,000, no less, for another season under the Senatorial yoke. Walter is merely one of several of Mr. Griffith's young men obsessed with expensive ideas. Muddy Ruel, star catcher; Roger Peckingaugh, shortstop, and Earl Midgely, outfielder, are among those who live only to harry Mr. Griffith with thoughts of foreclosure of the mortgage on the old homestead. Even Stanley Harris, the boy manager, put the financial slug on Clark at a very early moment and possibly it will Harris' initial success that he spired the others, if a ball player ever needs monetary inspiration. It is the old army game, to win you got yours, now give me mind. And, as such, it is entirely justified according to the standard of human instinct. Yet, if you happen to be looking out and not in thru the paymaster's window the justification might see slightly out of focus. Johnson, for example, is now worth $25,000 as he stands today. He is nearly at the end of his rook and might not last another season as a headliner. So much for the commercial side of it. But taking the matter from its humble angle, it is a fact that Johnson never got the money he deserved. FULLERTON HAS CHRYSLER AGENT R. G. Adams, Fullerton motor car dealer this morning announced that his organization had assumed the distribution for the Chrysler motor car. This addition to Mr. Adam's line is effective at once and gives to Mr. Adams a splendid line of four and six cylinder cars, the Maxwell having been handled by Mr. Adams for a long time. In talking of the new agency this morning Mr. Adams said, "I feel that the Chrysler is all that a person could ask for in a six cylinder automobile. It is powerful. It is speedy and its mechanical action is as smooth as velvet. The construction of the Chrysler is such that it is in keeping with most of the highest priced cars of today, yet, it is being sold at a price within reach of all moderate price car buyers." "The power unit," continued Mr. Adams, "is made up of a seven bearing crankshaft motor, all moving parts being individually machined to make perfect unison action. In addition to this the Chrysler motor is one of the few moderate price cars to install the Pur-O-Lator, an oil cleaning device that brings about much in the way of saving an oil consumption. This with the Chrysler air filter makes the entrance of foreign matter into the motor impossible." "The Chrysler since its first reception about 15 months ago has been noted for its appearance and the cars that we are now showing are no exception. Much time and money has been expended by the manufacturers in perfecting a finish that is at once beautiful and durable. The upholstery is of the newest materials and the interior finished to the last degree." Mr. Adams also stated that the Chrysler would e on display in his Fullerton showroom at the corner of Spadra and Santa Fe beginning this afternoon. THRILLING FIGHT, BUT ALL IN FUN Many film plays have hinged around a big fight, the thrilling, to the death, struggle between hero and villain, the battle royal off the edge of the precipice, and the rough and tumble encounter that tales no note of mutilated features and wrecked furniture but, it is said, nothing has been more exciting or quite so funny as the big scrap that climaxes Hal Roach's new feature Pathecomedy "The Battling Orioles," which comes to the United Theater tonight and Wednesday. The combatants in this event are nine aged and dignified, high-hatted and wheezy old men who compose what was once known to baseball as "The Battling Orioles" the most belligerent team that ever cracked a bat over an ampire's head. In this comedy they are pitted against a gang of rufians, the habitues of a tough dance hall. Brandishing gold-headed canes, using their wheelchairs as battering rams, fashioning catapults from suspenders and using bottles as ammunition, their silk hats caved in and their dress clothes in shreds, the one time terrors of the diamond plunge heading into a melee that brings back their one-time glory as the hardest hitting baseball team in suits. YORBA LINDA YORBA LINDA, Feb. 17.—Considerable excitement prevailed in Yorba Linda on Friday evening when three Mexicans staged a hold up, the victim being Mr. Robert Pitcher. He was at his home east of town when one of the Mexicans with whom he was acquainted, knocked at the door. Mr. Pitcher gave him permission to enter and the Mexican asked to bring in two friends he had with him. As they entered one of them thrust a 45 in Mr. Pitcher's side while the other two ransacked the house. They took most of his clothes, a revolver and $50 in cash and escaped in a machine. The one And, as such, it is entirely justified according to the standard of human instinct. Yet, if you happen to be looking out and not in thru the paymaster's window the justification might see slightly out of focus. Johnson, for example, is worth $25,000 as he stands today. He is nearly at the end of his roar and might not last another season as a headliner. So much for the commercial side of it. But taking the matter from its humane angle, it is a fact that Johnson never got the money he deserves during the years he pitched his arm off for Griffith. A. H. S. Notes The A and D class Hi Schoe casaba teams have a good chance to win the So. Calirr championship, the way their records have gone so far, according to Coo A. E. Fitzmorris.

A tragedy is a cruel live wire and a wet STOCKS MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS NEW YORK, Feb. 17. The stock market made little progress extricating itself from the jump into which it had been crown by Monday's violent sell-off movement. Prices showed a tendency to fly at the start but heavy setter broke out again around noon and prices tumbled to still lower levels. Another violent decline in the main markets did not help the situation in the stock market. While considerable selling was acceptable to the bearish professionals, there little if any kind of selling in the form of "attacks" leading stocks. The builts and bears staged a fiery fight over American Canfield win, General Electric and other market industrials in the second hour. Trading in these stocks was unusually heavy and most of the sales were made at slightly higher places. The oil stocks made no effort to affect the new developments in industry. Heavy selling of Sinclair, Shell Union, Mariand, Nipps and other leading oils used much confusion and a rush unload stocks. Coppers were so sold quite freely in the fourth American Smelting and Refining prominent leader in the forward movement of copperers last month, using seven points at 92½%.

GOODCELL SPEAKS TO KIWANIS CLUB The main value of history is to learn from the mistakes of the past and get inspiration from past achievements. This was one of several interesting things which Rex B. Goodcell, of Los Angeles, collectors of Internal Revenue, told Kiwanians at their luncheon today. His tople was "Four Great High Lights of the World War." The first high light which he marked was, to his mind, the demonstration by the United States that it was a single people. Americans hadn't known how far the "melting pot" had done its work, but it did know after the war when folk of every stripe fought side by side to check the advance of German world lordship. The second high light was the proof that money and material wealth played a less important part than love of the flag, home and country. People sacrificed themselves regardless of self. The third was that America despite her heavy contribution in munitions, men, etc., willingly surrendered to the leadership of France. While the fourth high light was that the American Independence Day of 1918 was celebrated at all the principal world capitals, in recognition of the fact that the American governmental ideal of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was being given its first realization abroad in the World War. If Britain had only applied that doctrine sooner, it would not have lost the Thirteen Colonies, said Goodcell. J.C.Lytle accompanied Good-cell here. The local club is expected to be present at least 5 per cent strong at the zone meeting here of the this representative from "Sundown," First National's long-expected drama of the West, which has proved to be the most pretentious effort of that company's own producing units, will be shown at the California for the final time tonight. "Sundown" is an original story written by Earl Hudson, supervisor of the First National Productions. The story unfolds the dramatic theme of the passing of the Old West before the advance of cultivation. This is incidentally, current history, since the enroachment on the defense ranges of the Southwest recently caused American cattlemen to unite their herds and drive them across the Rio Grande into Mexico and it was these scenes which were filmed by First National to be incorporated in "Sundown." Never again will such huge herds be seen in the United States. More than 100,000 head of cattle will be seen winding their way in a huge line half a mile wide in their great production. The human players who enact their roles against a background of awe-inspiring grandeur and immensity are: Hobart Bosworth, Bessie Love, Roy Stewart, Charlie Murray, Arthur Hoyt, Charles Selion, Charles B. Crockett, Bernard Randall, Wilfried North, Hal Wilson and Jere Austin. A very funny Mermaid Comedy with Lige Conley in the leading role and International News will also be shown.

A prominent woman who manages her household says that a girl she hired the other day seemed to like her new surroundings yet gave notice within 24 hours after she arrived. "What is the matter, Mary?" she inquired. "Have I offended you in any way?" "Oh, it isn't that mum," she answered, "but you're the thirteenth mistress I've had this year and that's unlucky." "Why then did you come?" "Well, you see, mum, I had to have the thirteenth, but I'm getting it over as quick as I can." A tragedy is a cross between a live wire and a wet floor.

To Show "Husbands and Lovers" Here Carrying out their policy of exhibiting only the best productions for Anaheim theater-goers, the management of the California will show "Husbands and Lovers" Wednesday and Thursday. It is rated as not only one of the best pictures of the season but one of the finest entertainments to reach the screen this year. Probably the foremost of the many great qualities to be found in "Husbands and Lovers" is its absolutely true portrayal of life. Based on the intricacies of domestic happiness, the story presents people and situations that are familiar to everyone. Three main characters, two men and a woman, hold the spotlight but not as the eternal triangle. There is a romantic triangle to be sure, but it is a new one and is handled in a new way. Clever, subtle comedy is the outstanding element of "Husbands and Lovers," although the picture contains some dramatic scenes that arouse the emotions as do few more serious plays. Lewis Stone, who also played in Stahl's "Why Men Leave Home" and "The Dangerous Age," heads the cast and Lew Cody and Florence Vidor are among the other members of the all-star cast. A Lize Conley comedy, "Pigion, Charles B. Crockett, Bernard Randall, Wilfrid North, Hal Wilson and Jere Austin.
