WONDER DOG AT UNITED THEATER Rin-Tin-Tin, the wonder dog, is almost an American institution. He was made over night some months ago when Warner Bros. produced "Where The North Begins," with Rin-Tin-Tin as its star. Picked up as he wandered simlessly back to the German lines in the closing days of the war, Rin-Tin-Tin was brought to this country by Lieut. Lee Duncan. With him came his wife, Nannette. The head of the family had been taught to earn his living amidst unusual surroundings as he dodged shells and poison gases and it was only reasonable that he turned to motion pictures. What he has been able to accomplish with the aid of his owner and trainer in "Where the North Begins," gives him undisputed title to being the wonder dog. It is doubtful if a more intelligent canine has ever lived. "Find Your Man," which is Rin-Tin-Tin's second picture, will be shown at the United Theater Friday and Saturday. This photoplay was written especially to show this wonder dog at his best. It provides abundant opportunity for the dog to offer additional proof that here is an animal governed more by thinking, trained intellect than by instinct. It has a climax that is ingenious in the extreme and exciting to the nth degree. The principal humans in the cast are almost of more than passing interest. June Marliowe plays the leading feminine role and Eric St. Clair has the male lead. Miss Marliowe is a comparative newcomer to stardom and is particularly well worth seeing, because of the fact that she is admittedly the most beautiful girl discovered for the screen in the past five years. Eric St. Clair is a young romantic actor whose future has already been brilliantly forecasted by his work in a number of worthwhile photoplays. Attention on Reapportionment SACRAMENTO, April 16 — Attention of the upper house of the state legislature was turned to the problem of reapportionment today. Three measures calling for a revision of the legislative representation are on file for special consideration of the senate.

Watching Scoreboard Yesterday's Hero—Jimmy Johnston, Brooklyn's all around star, doubled with the bases filled in the eighth inning and drove in two runs that defeated the Phils, 6 to 4. Dressen's error and three singles in the fourth inning gave the Cards two runs off Luque, but the Red won, 4 to 2. Fine pitching by Gray held the Red ox hitless in the last four innings and the Athletics won again, 5 to 3. Flagstead and Simmons hit homers. Sam Jones allowed three singles, gave two passes and hit one batter in the second inning which gave the Senators five runs and a 5 to 2 victory over the yanks in a six inning game, called by darkness.

WOMAN GETS 180 DAYS Little Adams of San Diego, arrested Tuesday night by Douglas Chambers, Fullerton motorcycle officer, under the name of Mrs. T.M. Schneider of Whittier whose operator's card she had in her possession, was arraigned before Judge French yesterday afternoon on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, and sentenced to 180 days in jail. Mrs Adams is said to have snapped a gun at Chambers while crazed by drink and marijuana. The shell jammed and did not explode. District Attorney Nelson refused to issue a complaint charging assault with a deadly weapon, saying that due to the alleged scrazy condition of the woman at the Royal Reception Famous I Reward for a life time of hardship today came to Balto, world famous dog hero, and Gunnar Kasson, the stalwart "musher" who has shared with the animal his death defying exploits as well as the recognition that is promised from every side. Man and dog began this country-wide tour here with an ovation. Balto, once it was found that he was not the half savage product of the North that he had been pictured, was greeted with an enthusiasm. Instead of being presented with a "bone to the city," as was done in Seattle and Los Angeles, he was given a more appropriate Anaheim emblem collar of orange blossoms, which was placed about his neck by Jessie Barnett. Boy Scouts cheered and officals representing the city as well as civic and social organizations praised Balto in terms that might easily have turned his shaggy head had he but known the importance of their words. The dog and his escorts, in cluding Gunnar Kasson, arrive here on schedule time at noon. A truck in which the dozen dogs make up the team were teetered lead a cavalcade of autumn bites that brought celebrities and executives of various organization from Los Angeles. Sol Lesser and Mike Rosenberg of the producing body that is filming Balto's historic adventure were among the former. Major J.J. Suydam, head of the Alaska Yukon club, headed the latter. Mayor Perry Mathis, ably seceded by Chief of Police Nicholson 5 CLASSY ACTS OF VAUDEVILLE There are five very clever acts in the big vaudeville show booked for the California Theater Friday and Saturday. The vaudeville is of an extremely good whipty and this week's biography is by far the best that has been shown in Anaheim for some time. Bender and Knapp, who style them selves "Exponents Strength and Agility," incorporate a series of remarkable feats of athletic effort in an artistry manner that is very entertaining. Lucian Lucca is a vocal wonder. He possesses one of those marvelous two tone voices, or a soprano and one baritone His mixed combinations are wonderful and a surprise. Attention on Reapportionment SACRAMENTO, April 16 — Attention of the upper house of the state legislature was turned to the problem of reapportionment ment today. Three measures calling for a revision of the legislative representation are on file for special consideration of the senate. Little hope is held that any of the measures will be favorably endorsed because of the action of the assembly yesterday in defeating two proposals of this kind. Two of the measures to be considered by the senate today call for a reapportionment along strictly constitutional lines based on population. The third is a constitutional amendment which would give the rural districts the balance of the power in the upper house. District Attorney Nelson refused to issue a complaint charging assault with a deadly weapon, saying that due to the alleged serazed condition of the woman at the time it would be impossible to get anywhere with the prosecution Mrs. Adams says that her husband is in business in San Diego and that she cafe up here with Joe Martina, but after they got some liquor in Los Angeles "Joe" and the machine disappeared, and she didn't know where the were. She is said to have remarked following the sentence that she got what was coming to her. She is said to have been a personal friend of Mrs. Schneider, whose card she had. AT UNTED THEATER TONIGHT William Desmond in "Blod and Steel" THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. CALIF. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Scene from 'SOFT SHOES' Released by Producers Distributing Corp Real Reception Tendered Famous Heroes of Alaska extended a welcome to the city. The Boy Scout reception committee shouted an equally enthusiastic and many times more vocal a greeting. Concluding the ceremony, which took place before the city hall, the automobiles, then augmented by scores of Anaheim cars, moved Real Reception Tendered Famous Heroes of Alaska extended a welcome to the city. The Boy Scout reception committee shouted an equally enthusiastic and many times more vocal a greeting. Concluding the ceremony, which took place before the city hall, the automobiles, then augmented by soores of Anaheim cars, moved down the street to the West Coast California Theater. Here Kasson and his dogs are making a two-day stay. Probably the greatest surprise of the appearance was the discovery that the dogs, contrary to reputation, are not seeking an opportunity to nip a generous bit out of the legs of every passerby. Although the modest Kasson would indignantly deny the assertion if anybody suggested that he had become an actor, his every move, recounting his almost tragic experience in the Far North was a dramatic one. However, in his new experience—in marked contrast to the one from which he has just emerged—there is a decided similarity. Here, too, he depends solely upon the unerring instinct of the many sided Balto to do the proper thing. He never strays more than a few feet away from the animal. "Balto's a fine dog," was his inconclusive explanation. "He's never gone wrong yet." SCORES AMERICAN Chicago 000 010 002—4 7 2 Detroit 000 000 101—2 6 1 Faber and Schalk; Collins and Woodlaw.

EXPECT CLOSE SCORE SATURDAY STANFORD UNIV., April 16 —The closest track and field meet between Stanford and the U. of C. in years, but with the beam tipping slightly toward the Cardinals to win, in the way Saturday's annual meet looks today. With California favored in the sprints, field events and the mile, Stanford doped to take the weights, hurdles, quarter and mile, and the half mile and other events in doubt, the decision between the rivals may rest, as it has in many other meets, on the relay. "Tiny" Hartranft, Stanford skipper, will probably be high point man with firsts in the shot and discus and places in the 100 and 220 yard sprints.
