UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY.
Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills 'have stood the
test in La Grande. 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."

Dorothy Gish Is Dutch Girl in Triangle-Fine
Arts Release Reviewed
by Thomas C. 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.

grow enthusiastic over after Dorothy

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

and unique note in picture making.
