f MOUNT AT AR
CADE TOMORROW
Mme. Olga Petrova, the interna
tional dramatic Btar has been engaged
by the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play
Company on a long term contract
and her newest ana best productions
will be seen at the Arcade theatre
under the Paramount banner.
In "The Undying Flame," Mme.
Petrova's first Lasky-Paramount
picture, one of the strangest facts of
human experience s touched upon
end in fact forms the basis for the
which has been cleverly woven around
it This the very common sensation
of having been in a place beforo or
having pcrormcd exactly the same
actions in relation to the same per
sons, whom perhaps one has never
seen before. Who is there who has
not had this strange sen
sation? The Egyptians, thousands of
years ago worked out a theory to ex
plain all this in their religion of the
"Jrnnamtirration of Souls" which is
nothing more or less than the passing
of the soul or spirit from ono lorm to
another during the course of its progress-
through the centuries.
Thus an Egyptain in experiencing
this foeling would merely say to him
self: "I hate known this person, or
have been in this place in ono of my
previous incarnations" and go about
bis business.
But in "The Undying Flume" we see
an English girl experiencing this sen
sation and it puzzles her greatly un
til one day a happy nccident brings
a mystic scurab into her possession
from the hands of a gypsy who tells
her that when the other half shall be
found she will know that her destiny
is at Inst fulfilled.
The fascinating manner in which
the other half of the mystic charm
comes into her life and the hnppincss
that follows may fc seen at the
Arcade theatre Friday and Saturday
where "The Undying Flame," starring
Madame Petrova, will be thj attraction.

WOMAN FIRES ON THIEF
Baker, Ore, Aug. i) (Special)
Mrs. W. S. Edcns took the law and a
shottrun. After the first shot he ran
and gave chase to a thief
and when the people of La Grande
told us, as large numbers ot tnem
did, that we were almost as their
own boys, they paid us a higher comp
liment than they probably realized.
3. The treatmont accorded us by
your people has become widely known,
as we have learned since our depar
ture frm vour citv. and we are
envied throughout the Regiment for
our good fortune in having boon sent
to such a place, wceuicss to say, no
one is more thoroughly aware of what
good fortune, than are the mcmocrs
of the Company.
4. Our goood fortune consisted not
only in being so well treated but also
in being sent to a city which, by vir
tue of its municipal character and

1 say, in an respect to tne citizens oi
La Grande and in all modesty, that I
doubt if we could pick from your own
boys a hundred and fifty whose health
and morals would be as good as ours
have been and who would withstand
the rigors and temptations of military
life any better.

will always be among our dearest

Wilbur Brnshfield. The boy's father,
George, chased the man across the

who was alone with her two small

Baker, Ore., Aug. 9 (Special) If
Mary had a lamb and its wool fol

would put Mary through school and

by a meat company for the Ixbanon
