CARTERS FA MOUS STAGE THRILLER "The Tornado" A SUPER DRAMATIC PICTURE PLAY CONTAINING THRILLS! ACTION! ROMANCE! Our Gang IN "IT'S A BEAR" COMEDY PRICES 10c-20c-30c MATINEE SUNDAY PATHE NEWS 2:30 P.M. LINCOLN SLAYER LIVED TO BE 65 (Continued from Page One) come to the conclusion that he lived to be 65 years of age under the name of John Saint Helen and David E. George. Finis L. Bates, probably the greatest authority on the subject, knew John Wilkes Booth as John St. Helen at Grandbury, Texas; it was there when Booth was deathly ill that he confessed to Bates his true identity and presented him with a tintype which was later identified by members of Booth's own family and by Joseph Jefferson, the actor. Later, according to Blanche Booth, Dr. Clarence True Wilson, retired lobbyist for the Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., spent years in going over records pertaining to the death. His conclusion, as will soon be published in a volume of his own, is that secret service guards under Colonel Baker missed their man at the Garnet barn and that David E. George, who died in Enid, Okla., was the true assassin of Abraham Lincoln. At present, one of the foremost capitalists of the United States, Judge Elbert H. Gary, president of the United States Steel Corp., is devoting his spare time to hounding down the mystery that had surrounded Booth's death, Miss Booth said. SAW BODY OF BOOTH WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The body of John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, is at Memphis, Tenn., in a "perfect state of preservation," Dr. Clarence True Wilson, who has made an exhaustive investigation of the Lincoln shooting, told International News Service today. "I saw the body several months ago," said Dr. Wilson, "finding on it many marks of identification which prove conclusively that the man was Booth." "When I was a boy in Maryland," wrote the story of HOUSE PETERS AT THE UNITED Crashing, hurtling logs toasted ahead of a resistile torrent makos a terrifying, spectacular background for some of the thrilling action in "The Tornado," starring House Petern, which is the attraction at the United theatre Sunday and Monday. "The Tornado" is the screen version of the famous Lincoln J. Carter melodrama of the same name and the part played by Peters is one of the most heroic in his long motion picture career. The scene of the action is a logging camp, the great forests, and the turbulent waters of a river down which thousands and thousands of logs float to the mills guided and controlled in their passage by the skill and daring of a man. The man known all up and down the river as "The Tornado," gained the nickname by reason of his stormy personality and the resistless manner in which, as a logging boss, he enforced his rule. The arrival in the little settlement of a man and woman from somewhere out in the world of fine clothes, and what the denizens of the settlement gathered from the chance meeting of two and "The Tornado" gave an inkling of the cause of the man's appearance in the wilderness. The real unraveling took place on the soggy bank of the river from when "The Tornado," despairing of his own life, spurred himself to the frenzy of effort that enabled him to save the woman he loved from the flood. The picture is replete with thrilling, dangerous situations, most of which were filmed on location in Idaho under direction of King Baggot. Peters is supported by Ruth Clifford, Richard Tucker, Snitz Edwards, Kate Price, Jackie Morgan and others. On this exceptionally fine program will be seen Hal Roach's little rascals, "Our Gang." In their latest comedy, "It's a Bear." This little company of players, with their merry pranks and mischief win from the audience many BIG DIRIGIBLE REACHES BERMUDA WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The navy dirigible Los Angeles left Hamilton, Bermuda at 10:10 this morning on her return trip to Lakehurst, N.J., according to the navy department this afternoon. Owing to bad weather at Bermuda, the big ship did not moor to the mast of the Patoka as planned, and after cruising about over the city for some hours, pointed her nose again over the Atlantic for the home ward trip. LAKEHURST, N.J., Feb. 21.—A radio message from the tanka Patoka to the dirigible Los Angeles intercepted by the naval station at Lakehurst from whilc the air liner took off at 3:25 yesterday, heralded her arrival over Bermuda early today. The Patoka asked that the Los Angeles was until after dawn to moor. The tanker was sent to Hamilton Bermuda to await the coming of the dirigible and act as a mooring station for her. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The navy department was momentarily expecting a radio dispatch during the morning, announcing the arrival of the dirigible Los Angeles Bermuda. Up to 9:45 a.m., however, it had not arrived. The last dispatch from the Los Angeles was sent at 8 o'clock in night and at that time the ship was 420 miles from her destination and sailing along at 65 mile gait. At that hour the officers aboard, including A Sec'y. of the Navy Robinson and Rear Admiral Moffatt, briefed naval air service, were sitting down to a dinner consisting roast beef, beans, bread, butter coffee, cake and fruit. Knives and forks were a novel the dispatch said, but like ever thing else on board, impressed passengers with the ingenuity WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The body of John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, is at Memphis, Tenn., in a "perfect state of preservation." Dr. Clarence True Wilson, who has made an exhaustive investigation of the Lincoln shooting, told International News Service today. "I saw the body several months ago," said Dr. Wilson, "finding on it many marks of identification which prove conclusively that the man was Booth. "When I was a boy in Maryland, I was told the story of Booth's escape from his pursuers by several persons who were themselves in the plot. Since that time I've been gathering proof that Lincoln's slayer was not killed by soldiers as generally believed. "At the time soldiers from Washington were searching for Booth in lower Maryland, near here, the slayer was riding horseback and on his way west. "Gerald Ruddy was the man shot and killed. His body was turned over to the Booth family and was buried in Baltimore." One of the marks by which he identified the body in Memphis as that of Booth, Dr. Wilson said, was a cut over his left eye. "Booth's body was never buried," Wilson continued. "It was turned over to an old couple in Memphis. The man died several months ago and his wife now cares for the body." He declined to give this woman's name or her address in Memphis. "In investigating the circumstances of Booth's escape, I talked to all members of his family." Dr. Wilson said. "They all knew about it. Most of them saw and talked with him after he fled from Washington. The story told by his niece in Minneapolis is true. She was her uncle just before he died. Dr. Wilson characterized as "absurd" the story of the man in MoNne, Ill., who said he was the only one who knew where Booth was buried. "That man's name is not mentioned in any of the stories concerning 'Booth,' Dr. Wilson said. There was no secret about the burial of the body believed to be that of Booth. The government turned it over to the family of Booth four years after Lincoln's assassination." J. A.

The first was the trip of the covered wagons across the plains and mountains from Missouri to Oregon in 1849. The second, although of equal importance, is not so well known. It is the journey of the early Texas settlers, driving their cattle from the ranches in southern Texas to the railroad in the north. It is this latter journey which forms the theme of "North of 36," an Irvin Willist production for Paramount, coming to the California theatre next Monday. The story of "North of 36," adapted by James Hamilton, appears on the screen as a faithful pictureization of the epic story by Emerson Hough, who also wrote "The Covered Wagon." The story opens in Texas in 1867. Cattle without number roam the ranges, but their owners are practically penniless, for there is no market for their herds. Everything looks pretty black when news comes through that up "north of 36" where a railroad has been built the cattle can be sold at an enormous profit by any one braving the dangers of the trackless plains, the Indian menace, swollen streams and a hundred and one other lurking perils. Taistle Lockhart (Lois Wilson), orphan, young, beautiful and hereditary chieftainess of one of the largest and wealthiest (in cattle) ranges in the Lone Star state, decides to risk the venture and with her 4500 long-horns, 16 cow hands, 115 saddle ponies, etc., she hits the trail. How, after months of hardships, they finally reach the railroad town and the ultimate results following their arrival will go down in screen history as a thing never to be forgotten.
