Duncan in "The Riddle Rider" Comedy Current Events RUTH'S CONDITION FACTOR IN RACE NEW YORK, April 10—Babe Ruth's condition during the early part of the season will be a vital factor in the American League pennant race. Upon a sound and healthy Babe, the peninsula of the New York Yankees are based almost entirely. Without him the team hardly could expect to win. It seems certain that Ruth will recover from his present allment, but it is not certain when he will be back into perfect playing condition. It is almost impossible to keep him out of BIG PROGRAM AT UNITED THEATER Romance comes in strange guise and has tragic results in "The Price of Pleasure," co-starring Virginia Valli and Norman Kerry which will be the attraction at the United Theater Friday and Saturday. The picture is a masterpiece of realism, portraying two widely divergent walks of life. The contrasts drawn are between the environment and luxuries of the very rich and the tawdry poverty of the shop girl who makes a meagre living in a great city where she is without the benefits of family life and must content herself for try to with the cold comforts of a tenement boarding. Geologist Showing How Lowly Clam To Dr. Bernest Miller is pictured here with Mrs. Lester M. Norman illustrating to her how he succeeded in "Rurbanking" clams grow more pearls.

VODE ROAD SHOW AT CALIFORN Ruth's condition during the early part of the season will be a vital factor in the American League pennant race. Upon a sound and healthy Babe, the penman enunciates of the New York Yankees are based almost entirely. Without him the team hardly could expect to win. It seems certain that Ruth will recover from his present alliment, but it is not certain when he will be back into perfect playing condition. It is almost impossible to keep him out of a uniform when he is not actually in a state of collapse, and he may be back within a week or so but it will be longer than that before he can be a real Babe Ruth in the lineup. Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees, pointed out the other day that Detroit would be the most dangerous if the Tigers should get away to a long lead early in the season. The Tigers have been so close to the pennant for the last three years that they have more than the ordinary desire for the world's series money. Ty Cobb is ill down south with the fin and may not be able to start the season, but the Tiers can get along better without him than the Yanks can without Ruth. Some believe that Cobb would do a smart thing if he would take frequent leaves from the team and let the players alone. Including Ruth and Cobb there are about 16 major league players on the disabled list and most of them put out of the game in the last few days. AT UNITED THEATRE CHARLES RAY'S LATEST AT UNITED THEATER Charles Ray's latest picture, "Percy," will be the attraction of the United Theater Sunday and Monday. Charles Murray, well remembered screen comedian, ably assists Ray. He has the part of a sack-brush sou-saver, who is as perfectly at home in a four-handed game of poker as he is with words of wisdom. Betty Blythe is the senorita with the taking way. The story tells of a milk-fed youth, who, at 21, finally explodes on a tear and winds up on the Mexican border, where adventurers, troubles and romance do handsprings all around him. The picture is filled with many humorous and highly laughable scenes and the romantic element is provided by the wooing of a pretty little ranch owner by the bashful "Percy." "Percy" is real entertainment. It sparkles with wit and will keep you alternately laughing and thrilling. Its people are real folks and about the most and delightful ones you'll ever meet. The first essential for becoming a young intellectual is an allowance from dad. Special Dude Martin's Orchestra At Cinderella Hall SATURDAY NIGHT They play at the California Theatre next week.

I never told talt to anyone." They are trying to split us out don't pay any attention to them. Our arrangement is just as it always was, 50-50. Get me fight and I'll do my stuff." The champion talked sincerely and emphasized his statements with wild gestures. After the "showdown," the champion and movie hero hopped on his Rolls-Royce and drove back to the lot and the cameras returned grinding. "I was a little bit hot," admitted Kearns. "A fellow hates to have someone make him look like a fool. Jack said he was tired of hearing everyone talk about our 50-50 agreement. He said it was our own business what we did." "I don't need a contract on Dempsey. If his word isn't good what good would a contract be? couldn't make him fight if I had million contracts."
