As a result her studio can present al most any kind of a two-legged or four-footed specimen of the animal world that had needed a home. She does not spoil them however. The fact that they are adopted and have a home of her making does not moan a life of idleness. Sometime or other they ore bound to become actors. la "Less Than the Dust" Miss Pick ford had a camel and the sacred cow. Now they are at liberty and at home but their time will come again. In the meantime her famous duck, "Hul da" that swam all the way from Chi cago to New York in the wash basin of a Pullman drawing room has be come an actor, or rather, an actress. She has made her debut in "The Pride of the Clan," the new Pickfard-Art-oraft picture now at the Arcade the ater. The scenario also called for a kitten, not a well fed, sleek and con tented looking baby cat but one whose appearance would immediately denote j dejection and misery. The second day of the picture-taking Mary Pickford appeared at the studio with the ideal kitten carefully caged in a millinery box. She had picked it up in a de serted city cart near the Fort Lee fer ry. The cat was immediately put into rehearsal. From the start the kitten seemed to understand that the rough er and tougher it looked the better it pleased the director so i fussed itself up a bit. This greatly annoyed the complacement office cat at the studio but the kitten had a character part and his name on the program so he simply ignored the other and then he had "Hulda," the duck to pal with, so what cared he? Due to the contract made with the Artcraft Picture Cor poration, the admission price for all the new Pickford pictures must be 15c, children will be admitted for 5c as usual. AT SHERRY'S. 19 "-. I'M EDISON IS 70 TODAY Orange, N. J., Feb. 12. Thomas A. Edison is celebrating jhis 70th birth day today. Last night 2000 of hi em p'oyes were hosts to him at n bnn-c,.int. SHERRY'S Ebenezer Scrooge was the meanest man in London. For years he had made stocks, bonds and banknotes his religion. There was not an ounce of charitableness in his system; his heart was steel and his voice metallic as he snarled and barked at every man, wo man or child he came in contact with. Christmas was his special abhorrence he would have none of the cheer and good will of Yuletide. He lived alone, walked alone and everybody who knew him was mighty glad to leave him alone. Charles Dickens, of his won derful imagination, created this man as the moving character in "A Christ mas Carol" and Bluebird Photoplays assigned Rupert Julian to play the character in the screen version of the Dickens classic that is to be exhibited at the Sherry theater today under the caption of "The Right to Be Happy." Because the lessons and usefulness of "A Christmas Qarol" endure from day to day the year 'round, the pro ducers of the screen version decided that it would be better to apply a gen erally serviceable title to the work and consequently "The Right to Be Happy was selected as especially ap propriate. Arthur Elbe, of Portland was in the city Monday looking over La Grande with a view of engaging in the laun dry business. Let us print your farm sale bills. What makes Fatimas comfortable? YOU'VE probably noticed that rather "oily heaviness" so com mon to many of even the most ex pensive cigarettes. That's bound to exist, no matter how good the tobac cos, if the tobaccos are not blended just right to correct it. Of course, such cigarettes can never be comfortable. FatOTas, on the other hand, are comfortable. The milder tobaccos in their Turkish blend are in such perfect balance with the richer, fuller-flavored leaves as to entirely off set all of that "oily heaviness which makes so many other cigarettes un comfortable. With your first package of Fatimas you'll realize how genuinely comfort able a cigarette can be. Watch for Our Ad in Pay-Up-Week Edition Saturday 17th.

Johnson of St. Paul, Minn., holder of the heavyweight wrestling I. A. JOHNSON title of the middle west and the Pa cific coast is billed to appear at the Arcade theater Thursday and Friday, On Thursday evening Johnson will give an exhibition of strength. His feats of strength are certainly re markable. His weight is only 205 pounds yet he lifts 4000 pounds. Bend ing steel bars, breaking steel chains are but incidents in Mr. Johnson's act. Tearing two and r. half decks of play ing cards uutwo, pulling apart a 3-4 inch manila rope which resists a strain, of 3000 pounds, straightening steel horseshoes are others. The great San dow was long recognized as the strongest man in the world, yet his lift record was 20 men. Mr. John son has lifted 21 men and will do this Thursday if the heaviest men in town will volunteer their services to be lifted. With that record to his credit Johnson can "rightly be called the strongest man in America. On Friday evening at the end of the first show Johnson will stage a wrestling match with a local man which certainly should prove an in teresting match of strength and skill. This should prove of interest to the ladies who have often wanted to see such a match but have been unable to do so. There is nothing offensive about such an act but is simply a con test of skill. The wrestling match will be staged after the first show Friday night, and at the end of the second show Mr. Johnson will give his ex hibition of weight lifting and strength.
