Mary Pickford has an uncontroll
able desire to adopt homeless animals.
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.

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

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.

Swedish Wrestler Comingto Arcade
I. A. 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.
