WALLACE REID IN "BROKEN LAWS" "Broken Laws," Mrs. Wallace Reid's stirring drama of Mother Love and the Law, was shown for the first time last night to capacity audiences at the United theatre and will continue again tonight. In the latest vehicle Mrs. Reid has one of those "once in a lifetime" pictures. For "Broken Laws" is not only an intense, interesting and convincing drama, but it has a needed message and it gets over that message without becoming preachy nor interfering with the thread of the story. Such films are few and far between but Mrs. Reid and her co-workers seem to have hit on the happy medium of entertainment and education, in which neither detracts from the other. "Broken Laws" fills two purposes: it provides a wonderful entertainment and cannot but make better citizens. It is the story of two ordinary everyday houses in which at least one parent disregards the law as a routine thing. There are children in early family. They see this wholesale flouting of the constituted law and the picture tells the effect of this contact with law-breaking on the part of the children, and later the young man and woman.

LOTTA SMITHS THIS YEAR More people with S at the opening of their last names—not necessarily Smiths—live in Anaheim than folks of any other name. The Anaheim name and residence directory which Postmaster J. H. Whitaker devised also shows that the Ba, Hs, Ms and Wa also run strong here. Regarding which class of people calling for mail is most numerous, Whitaker agreed that it was the men, but said "more men, women and children call than anybody else."

Call 619 W. Broadway. Licensed Chiropractor I wish to announce to my friends and patients that I am not sick and unable to work, as has been reported. The cause of my not practicing was of a very different nature. I am still at my old place of business. My policy is honesty and justice for all. I have no instruments in my office to relieve people's pocketbooks of their hard-earned money, for my 5½ years of successful practice in Anaheim has taught me that nature's own remedies are the only cure for disease. Chiropractic means done by hand and by adjusting the spinal column with the hands ONLY. I remove the cause of disease, letting nature do all the healing. SUE AMACK, CHIROPRACTOR 317 N.
