UNIED THEATRE TONIGHT Herbert Rawlinson IN A STARTLING BOSTON BLACKIE STORY "Dark Stairways" Action - Romance - Mystery BOBBY DUNN COMEDY SCENIC BEAUTIFUL PRIES 10c, 20c, 30c Coming Friday — "The Price of Pleasure" Valli and Kerry in Big Universal Play Virginia Valli and Norman Kerry are coming to the United Theatre next Friday and Saturday, as co-stars in "The Price of Pleasure," screen version of "Clinging Fingers," a story by Elizabeth Holding and Marion Orth, two of the most prominent writers of motion picture plays. The picture comes heralded as one of Universal's outstanding productions of the 1924-25 season. The story deals with two sharply contracted phases of life, that of the shop girl struggling in a great city for a bare existence, and the home of persons of wealth and high social position. The love interest of tragic nature is between Miss Valli, as a shop girl, and Kerry as the son of a family of wealth and aristocracy. In the absence of the young man's mother and sister he plays Prince Charming to the shop girl and the upshot of the week of pleasure he gives her is their marriage. At Training Camps BOSTON—A rejuvenated Boston Red Sox team was due to arrive at Fenway Park here today for the first workout on home grounds. LOUISVILLE — Elmer Smith, former Cleveland Indian outfielder, the only player to make a home run with the bases full in a world series, cracked out two more homers yesterday as the Reds beat Nashville, 9 to 6. NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Detroit Tigers arrived here today to begin a two games series with the vultureteens, following a 6 to 2 victory over Knoxville yesterday. SAN ANTONIO, Tex.—Rogers Hornsby proved he was ready for the opening of the season when he pounded out two homers, a double and had a walk while the Cards were defeating San Antonio. TRICK STOMACH WON'T STOP BABE NEW YORK, April 9—With all his trials and tribulations, his battered hands and his trick stomach, Babe Ruth probably will be a bigger drawing card than ever this year. He has had a million dollars worth of advertising this spring and the Babe needs little but his natural color to keep the public interested in him. When he popped up at Hot Springs to start his training, the startling news was broadcast that he was 40 pounds overweight and that he never would work himself down to fit his old uniforms. He worked hels head off durig the day to take off six or seven pounds and would go to the dinner table so famished that he would eat the six or seven pounds back on. Then he reported at the Yankee training camp at St. Petersburg, and told newspapermen that he was broke and about through. He wailed that he didn't have any money left and that he had only a season or two left in him. He then started hitting the ball as he never hit in the early season and the waist line shrunk to normal. Bad luck followed when he broke a finger in practice and just when the finger was back in shape, ne pulled up with a pair of Charley horses. Then his stomach went back on him. Getting out of the jam, he had a mild attack of the flue and was coming out of that when he caught more cold and ended up with a collapse in a railroad station. He isn't over that attack yet and he may have to spend a week in hospital before he can join the team. It is very unlikely that his playing will be affected by all his troubles. He had the same experience last summer and he did not get going on his real game until the hot weather came. LEOPOLD AND LOEB OBserve Passover The love interest of tragic nature is between Miss Vall, as a shop girl, and Kerry as the son of a family of wealth and aristocracy. In the absence of the young man's mother and sister he plays Prince Charming to the shop girl and the upshot of the week of pleasure he gives her is their marriage. Then his folks come home and the girl bride is so contemptuously treated that she runs away. He believes that he has killed her when the automobile in which he is seeking her, knocks her to the pavement, and suffers a long attack of brain fever. Despite his failure to regain his health, his family do not tell him the truth, but, finding out that a child as been born, set about gaining possession of it. The cast, which was directed by Edward Sloman, contains Louise Frazenda., Kate Lester, George Pawcett, T. Roy Barnes, James O. Barrows and Marie Astaire. U. C.

The Southern California senior track and field team is coming out of that when he caught more cold and ended up with a collapse in a railroad station. He isn't over that attack yet and he may have to spend a week in hospital before he can join the team. It is very unlikely that his playing will be affected by all his troubles. He had the same experience last summer and he did not get going on his real game until the hot weather came.

Branch Rickey aims at First Division By BRANCH RICKEY (Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals) We are aiming at the first division and, naturally, the higher we land the more satisfied we will be. The Cardinals have been a threat in the past four years but they have failed to live up to expectations. The team is much the same as last year. We have plenty of hitting strength and the pitching is the doubtful factor. I hope to be able to get better results than we did last year from the pitchers. We had a good training season in California and the players are all in good condition to start the race.

Recessions of a point or so were forced in New York Central and a number of other active rails. But these bearish activities ran into a stonewall after about an hour's selling. Liquidation was found to be drying up and the whole market steadied in the noon dealings. In the afternoon considerable short covering took place for the account of traders desiring to be out of the market over good Friday. These transactions coincided with fresh operations of a speculative nature in various sections of the list, giving the trading a health tone in the late afternoon.

The pression is that truck transsition has very recently underenormous increase. What happens, however, is heater of a vast volume of freight by truck from night hours to the period beark and dawn. Owners of fleets of freight are of course operating their stock day and night. Other owners have abandoned the daylight, however, in favor of a and more profitable night at, when streets and roads separatively free of other A distinct advantage is by the truck owner in time but it is an advantage which is by all other traffic which highways. On long runs in time by the night optrucks is resulting in treeconomies; while even on runs the added profit is able. Utility highways do not enjoy only of this night traffic. In the larger cities truck are finding that trafic on is making daytime truck is highly unprofitable in stress, and wherever posconsuming truck movethe hours between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. City deliveries of heavy commodities such as lumber and building material are being made at night where possible, and nothing short of an actual check will reveal the actual proportions this trend is assuming. Boston furnishes an interesting example of the growth of the shipby-truck movement. Boston is the main supply center for a large portion of the textile industry of the country, and has within a radius of fifty miles about 60 per cent of the worsted and woolen mills of the United States. The short haul to and from these mills has proved so profitable to truck operators that fleets of heavy motor vehicles, with and without trailers, operate day and night between Boston and nearby textile centers. Usually they get a return load of manufactured products for delivery to other mills or to railroads and steamship lines. In New England especially night truck movements have become exceedingly popular. A belisted traveler along the Boston Post Road is astonished at the volume of heavy traffic moving during the late ave- ning and early morning hours. He is impressed, too, with the type of lighting equipment carried by these trucks. Acetylene headlights are almost invariably used on all but the light trucks, and the soft, melow light, in sharp contrast to the white glare of passenger cars, is most agreeable. The reason why motor truck operators cling tenaciously to the acetylene headlights is its greater economy and dependability on heavy vehicles. Where the use of electric light systems on heavy duty trucks has been attempted they have generally been discarded because of the failure of batteries and bulbs to hold up under the constant shock to which they were subjected. Acetylene illumination is also legal lighting equipment throughout the United States. There is no question in the minds of the autotruck manufacturer, the operator or the railroads but that motor freight lines have come to stay. And with the development of night routes the most forceful argument against them, born of constantly increasing highway congestion, is steadily weakening.

Norma has two roles, one of a 1900 flapper—a pretty soubrette in a London theater—and the other of a disillusioned expatriat.
