ENORMOUS TREAT COMING
La Grande People Just Beginning to
Realize Meaning t- ,
' That there are many in La Grande
who don't realize there is going to
be a tremendous crush for seats when
"Avenging Conscience" comes hero
next week. This picture is destined
to set a record, in attendance, for few
pictures have been more thoroughly
complimented.
Can you imagine a murderer be
lieving lie hears the heart of his dead
victim beating? ;' ; ,,
And would you believe it possible
that the-spectator of a motion pic
ture would also imagine he could hear
those heart beats?
Yet that is only one of the extra
ordinary photographic feats perform
ed by D. W. Griffith in his Becond
wonder picture, "Avenging Consci
ence," which will be at the. Arcade
theater Wednesday and Thursday.
So striking is this great feature
that Mr.! Griffith pronounces it a
greater picture than his "Birth of a
Nation." In fact, he says it is his
"supreme1 achievement.' - However,
this may be, none will deny that it is
more than two years ahead of motion
picture , photography of today, ac
tually marking a new era in the art.
"Avenging Heart," which ran at the
Heilig i Theater, Portland, recently,

mystery story, 'but not in the ordin

New York, Jan. 8. Just as the
tinkling of sleighbells delighted the
hearts of the children and grown-ups
of yesterday, so are we of today en
raptured with the thought of winter,
when tiny coasters may once more be
brought into, use, and the snow king,
zealously . guards his domain moun

For these days of sleighing and
skating, not forgetting the gorgoous
wintry mornings, when a brisk' walk
over frozen paths brings . glow to
our checks and brightness to our eyes
clothes must play as important a part
as for 'any other occasions. , .,

The Popular Tam-o-Shanter
With the awakening of the out-of-door
spirit there has come a demand
for comfortable headgear; not the
freakish hats-and caps which were
introduced when the motoring fad
came in, so hideous and unbecoming,
but chic little caps and tarns made up
in sweater cloth, lamb's wool, the
material of the coat or suit,, or knitted
to match sweatertr scarf. These caps
are extremely youthful and chic easi
ly made, and the height .of comfort.
j Sets of cap, scarf and sports' coat,
or sweater, are used for skating,
I cross-country walking, and motoring
One especially pretty, cap with scarf
or muffler attached, is being made
up in chiffon for summer motoring
use; the idea is wonderfully practical,
as the full, gathered scarf-end may be
brought over the head and face, veil
fashion, protecting the ' complexion
and eyes very efficiently, i
Leather is being used for these sets
quite expensively too; a fur-trimmed
set of dull red Russian leather, trim
med with sable and combined with. a
short, tab-ended scarf,' also trimmed
with sable, is unusually smart and be
coming. 1 These leather . sets may- be
made at home of suede, or a soft kid.
They are practical for many, pur
poses as they are not injured by dus;,
rain, or snow. '
v There are some attractive velveteen
and Velvet sets, also trimmed ith a
vividly contrasting color..

popularity of walking, skating and

necessary to Milady's beauty and

jtreme these sticks are nevertheless
quite practical, especially for moun
