The story of "Sporting Blood" is
founded on fact. Bertram Bracken,
William Fox director, who wrote the
' story, says that the incidents he gives
in the film are largely taken from
actual experiences he has had or
heard of.
"My father owned a stable in Tex
as," Mr. Bracken said, "and he had
some of the best racers of the state.
Naturally 1 grew up with a great love
of horses, and a knowledge of them
that not many persons have. That in
terest made the writing of a racing
story especially fascinating."
Director Bracken has made tho
study of horses one of his pet avoca- j
tions. lie knows the racing laws of
Europe and the various United States
backwards, and he can tell you just
how much money was won and lost at
the last English Derby.
"There bas always been a great
deal of superstition about 'race
tracks," Director Bracken said. "I
suppose itf a tho same with every
gambling device, superstition is su
preme. "I once knew a man who had the
habit of betting always on the first
horse he saw when he arrived at the
raco course, or on tho horse ridden by
the first jockey ho saw. Ho called it
a "system," out it amounted to little
more than a hobby. He lost just as
consistently that way as ho could
have in any other manner.
"I knew nnother man who would al
ways turn down the cuffs of his trou
sers when he went to a race track,
and would not turn them up ngaiv un
til after tho event. Tho strange part
of it was that he often won, though
I don't know whether it was tho 'sys
tem' or his own Judgment that helped
him along."

Do you believa in fairies?

in the chorus of affirmatives. Now j wed and when the handsome young
Marguerite Clark, herself the incar- j chap's rascally brother, having heard
nation of the elf spirit, is being of the will, succeeds in wedding Eileen
starred by the Famous Players Film, under the name of his brother, the
company in its delightful fairy tale,
"Little I,ady Eileen," which is the at
traction at the Arcade theatre Friday
and Saturday. And if, at the end of
the performance, little Miss Clark
were to step out of the screen upon
the stage and ask the audiences of the
Arcade theatre whether they too be
lieve in fairies, there is little room
for doubt that they would unanimous
ly shout "Yes!"
Of course, if one were prosaic and
of the earth earthy, one could talk at
great length of the miracles which di
rector J. Scarle Dawley the real king
of the fairies in this picturehas
wrought in introducing his weird lit
tle folk and in creating many il
lusions, exquisite scenes and real
thrills. But that would bring the pro
duction into the realm of the common
place for that is what thiB Famous
Players director always docs.
So let us talk rather of the little
I.ady Eileen Kavanaugh who is the
despair of her unimaginative school
mistress because she will not forsake
her fairy tales for the more substan
tial studies like reading, 'riting and
'rithmetie. In fact, Eileen is' one of
those adorable Irish girls with a facile
imagination that is as creative as the
fairies become so incensed at him for
his duplicity that they roll a huge
rock down upon him and crush the im
postor.
In support of Miss Clark there ap
pear such well-known players as Mag
gie Halloway Fisher, Vernon Steele,
John L. Shine, Harry Lee, and Rus

The fate of such institutions as the
University of Oregon and the Agri
cultural College, should the provisions
of the proposed Single Tax bill ever
I become effective, is puzzling to thoss
j who have closely analyzed the meas-
I ure. It appears on the ballot under
the title of "Full Rental Value Land
Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund
Amendment" to the state constitution.
It was known as the "People's Land
and Loan Hill" when the petitions
through which it obtained a place on
the ballot were circulated.
It seems inevitable that within three
years at tho most from the time of
passage of this measure the state
treasury will be practically empty.
The bill is drawn to force nil land now
privately owned to revert to the state,
the owners preferring to relinquish it
rather than pay the enormous "land
rentals" that operation of the meas
ure will entail. I
Taxes are to, be levied upon land
nlone. With the bulk of all land with
in the state thrown back upon the
state by the present owners, payments
of taxes will practically cease.
Under such conditions, where will
the money come from for the support
of the university and the 'state agri
cultural college ns well as the other
public institutions now maintained by
appropriation? That is the question.
It is conceded that were the Single
Tax so named on the ballot there
would bo little chance of its passage.
inn., uming advantage or the cam
paign for the state Rural Credits bill,
its sponsors have succeeded in getting
it on the ballot under a title which
leads many persons to believe it is
the Rural Credits measure. They are
two distinct and utterly different
measures. The Single Tax bill is the
first initiative measure. Its voting
numbers are riOfi ves, and 307 no.
