No La Grande resident who suffers backache, or an noying urinary ills can remain uncon vinced by this twice-told testimony. Ed L. Bussey, La Grande, says: "I had been subject to kidney trouble at times, especially when a cold settled on me. Dull pains annoyed me and my kidneys got badly out of order. About three years ago I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and from that time on, I have had something on wWch I can rely. Whenever bothered, it has taken Doan's Kidney Pills only a short time to set me right. I am perfectly free from kidney trouble now." (Statement given November 20, 1912.) On May 25, 191G, Mr. Bussey said: "I am ready to back every word of my former statement, regarding my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills, for I know they have no equal. When ever I notice my kidneys getting out of fix, I take Doan's Kidney Pills and they never fail to do the work." 50c at all dealers. Foster-Milbuxn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

The artistry of writer, di 'rector and actors has been matched by the skill of technicians and a smooth quality of excellence rales the entire play. ' With nothing more to commend it than beauty of photography and back grounds it would still be a satisfying picture. But not only does it possess these things, but carries an interest ing pot as well executed by a strong cast. Edna Mayo, in the featured role of Eve, finds in Lee Wilson Dood's de lightful story a. part which is exactly suited to her talents.

Kennedy in Motottra-phy. Picturejroers cannot complain that picturesque Holland is at all remiss in the matter of givine; them occasion to see their favorite screen actresses in characters such as will give oppor tunity for the display of innocent charm with all the beautifying quali ties of quaintness, enthusiasm born of a healthy state of both mind and body, sympathy, self sacrifice and all the other virtues calculated to endear their possessor to all who have the (rood fortune to see her upon the screen. 'Gretchen the Greenhorn" is Doro thy Gish's latest starring medium which will be shown at the Arcade theater, Sunday, and whatever it may lack in depth of theme or orie-inalitv of treatment is compensated for by this dainty and enjri'jrinjr little actress. Gretchen is from Holland but she is not here long before the Fatherland ceases to be anything but a pleasant memory. She lives with her father in the downtown district of an Americ city. ! Gretchen's beau is named Peitro and as one of the titles states, "He i courts her wth her native songs ren dered m English with an Italian ac cent." The family upstairs' is a large one and on many occasions Gretchen comes to the rescue with bread and cake when the family cupboard faile to provide enough to go around. Her father is an engraver and in his sim plicity becomes the tool of a counter feiter. The villain kidnaps both the engraver and his sweet daughter but Pietro enlists the aid of the police and all ends happily. Bernard McConville is the author of the play and the production of it was it was in the hands of C. M. and S. A. Franklin. There is charm to this of fering even though there is little to grow enthusiastic over after Dorothy Gioh has been excluded from the cal culations. We see America as a melting-pot in the scenes! depicting life in the neighborhood of Gretchen's abode. sipanese, Italian, Irish and Germans, as well as representatives of other na tions ars seen in the pictures. Ralph Lewis is John Van Houck, Gretchen's father, and he is effective in the part. The only trouble with Van is his persistence in wearing spec-table-frames which are void of the optical glasses for which they were built. Frank Bennett as Pietro shows that practice makes for improvement. He is by far a better actor than he was six, even three months ago.

Another particularly striking part of the play is ihe appearance on t he screen of the devil as an allegorical vision. The evil one tempts the thea trical manager, and the manner in which the spirit appears strikes a new and unique note in picture making.
