TREAT FOR MUSIC LOVERS AT UNITED All who enjoy real good singing have a treat in store for them at the United Friday and Saturday nights. Manager Anderson has been very fortunate in being able to engage the noted Irish baritone singer, Francis Murphy, who will present a revue of those sweet songs and melodies the whole world loves, the Irish ballads.

Those who enjoy a real musical treat will be fully repaid for their visit to the United these evenings. FOREST STATION Francis Cuttle has received a telegram from Senator Hiram W. Johnson to the effect that a bill open a two-day engagement at the United theatre Friday. It is the screen version of an old-time thriller with all the hokum left out. There is action galore. Locomotive shops in which the hero works his way up of the railroad of which his father is president. A terrible fight and the saving of a trainload of passengers rushing heedlessly in the path of a runaway freight backing at furious speed down hill. The subsequent derailing of the freight and the saving of the express makes a series of action parts hard to beat. With all the action there is woven throughout a tender love story. The meeting of the girl and the boy and the inevitable budding romance. The girl's natural discernment seeing the real man and not the coward that he and many others thought he was. Her faith in him and her encouragement making him carry on in the hope that his real self will show in time. The story gives Elaine Hammerstein an excellent opportunity to play her best which she does. Others of note on the cast are William Haines, George Nichols, Lloyd Whitlock, Pat Harmon, Bertram Grassby, Phyllis Haver and Roscoe Karns. Also on the program will be seen "The Riddie Rider," with William Desmond and Eileen Sedwick. This intensely interesting and mysterious chapter play proves more exciting with each passing episode.

"Argentine Love," written directly for motion pictures by the greatest of all Spanish novelists, Vilente Blasco Ibanez, author of "The Four Horsemen," "Blood and Sand," "Enemies of Women," etc., is a picture with a true-to-type cast if there ever was one. Everything about the picture is Spanish, and how could one start off better than by the selection of Bebe Daniels and Ricardo Cortes for the principal roles! Dark-hued, dark-eyed Bebe plays a lovely Spanish senorita, confronted with the old, yet new problem of making a choice between two men—one played by Cortez, a wealthy young South American who has helped her parents financially and asked her hand in return for the favor; the other, a handsome American engineer, Bebe, as Consuelo Garela, meets while at school in the States. James Rennie has this role. Miss Daniels and Cortez are featured in "Argentine Love," which will be shown Friday and Saturday at the California. Rennie heads the strong cast playing in support. Eddie Lyons in a very funny comedy, "Meet the Doctor," an Aesop Fable and the California Orchestra at the evennig show only completes the bill.

STRAUS (President American Society for Thrift) "The man who saves is the man who will win." Here is one of the best short sermons ever preached on the subject of thrift. It tells the whole story of the purposes and the rewards of thrift. The words were uttered by President Coolidge, and though he made a number of other statements in the same connection, this sentence embodies a lesson that every school teacher, every business executive, every parent, every person, in fact, who exerts a forceful influence over others should make use of. The object of thrift is not to save money, to hoard wealth, to acquire stocks and bonds and real estate. The object of thrift is to effect success. What may be success to one would be considered failure by another. We all have our standards of success. But, regardless of what these standards may be, thrift is one of the necessary means to the desired end. Lack of thrift breeds weakness, vacillation, idleness. It robs one of the power of progress. It kills ambition. Tariff, as one of our great statesmen once said, "stiffens the will." It gives character. It develops self-reliance. It provides the stamina without which no man can truly succeed. The financial independence won through thrift is always an element of success, but the mental and moral advantages are of even greater value. Save and win, would be an ideal American slogan.
