In "Tho Red Woman" Miss Gail
Kane has a particularly powerful part
io enact She portrays the character
of a young Indian girl, who has a fine
education, but who relapses into the
customs and beliefs of her race and
then falls in love with a white man!
The story has many thrills and the
love interest is, of course, particularly
strong. Miss Kane takes every ad
vantage of the many opportunities
offered her with tho result that her
characterization is one, to bo long (re
membered. The Arcade theatre takes
pleasure in presenting this remark
able attraction to its patrons today
and tomorrow. "The Red Woman,, is
tho latest World Picture Brady-Made.

SPANISH A
REAL NOVELH
The charm of old Madrid, the light
and laughter of the gilded salon, the
vivacity and gaily begowned sen
oritas, and the puculiaii charm of
real Spanish music will be the attrac
tion at the Arcade Theatre on Friday,
August 24th in the fo-nt of Sananes
Famous Spanish Troubadours one of
the finest and perhaps ' the only
Spanish act ever offered in La Grande.
They are real Castillians and born
musicians. . In song-dance or instru
mental numbers they show the reai
artist thru and thru, they are just
about as evenly balanced company of
entertainers as one could find. Their
evening's entertainment is consider
ably diversified, consisting of Grand
Opera selections, popular and rag
time songs, intersperced with native
classic and Egyptian dancing. Nello
Villa, tenor and feature with the show
a marvelous singer, words can
hardly express his wonderful ability,
Carlos Haio, violinist, is a pupil of
the far Famed, Spanish master Sar-
sate, and promises to rival his master
as a musician. fcignor uc L,eon
painist is equally brilliant on this in
strument. Varda tr.e Egyptian and
Classic Dancer is wonderfully winsome
and graceful in her presentations.
Senorita De Ixson is a pleasing little
qoubrette and wins the hearts of the
audience by the clever presentation
of her popular and ragtime numbers.
It's a show that will please all and
should not be missed, there will be
two shows at night only.
batting eye are almost certain to drag
the veteran back into the big league.
iRftveral clubs are known to have
approached the baseball powers with
a view to getting Lajoio, and at least
one club has made him a tentative of
fer to manage it next year.
'Lajoie is satisfied with his lot in
Toronto. He is well liked there. His
team has been, in the pennant fight
all the way, and the club has teen
nrnsnerous. Hence, he isn't figuring
i , .
very heavily on leaving. The amount
of monev offered him for his work
as a 'biz leaguer, however, is expected
to have its effect. And there are
clubs who are ready to put up a big
price for the Frenchman s service.
Toronto is expected in baseball cir
cles to have an American league club
before many seasons pass. In fact
it is confidently expected tho transfer
will be made this winter. If Lajoie
could be given the managership if this
aggregation, or even if he were given
a berth as a player he probably would
be satisfied. It may come to pass
that such an arrangement could be
made.
The injury to Buck Weaver prob
ably will be pointed out as. the reason
if the White Sox fail to win the Ameri
can league pennant. The Chicagoans
could not have been struck in a more
vital point.
Weaver's aggresive playing, his
heady work on the field, inspiration
to his fellows, and a faculty to hit in
the pinches make him one if the best
infielders in the game. At third base
he is the equal, if not the peer, of any
fielding that station.
The Sox could have suffered the loss
of Eddie Collins as well as Weaver.
Reports indicate Weaver will be
back in the game in two weeks, but
those two weeks, with the difference
in tho playing of McMullen and
Weaver may mean a pennant.
However, Comisky and, Pants Row
land can take solace in the recollection
that Charlie Deal substituted so well
for Red Smith in 1914 that the Braves
won a pennant and a world's champ
ionship. Smith broke his leg shortly
before tho end of that National league
session. He was one of the heaviest
hitters the Braves posessed.

Only One "Birth of a Nation"
It Is The Film Supreme
Others may come and others may
go (but there is only one Birth Of a
Nation. And any vti.cr attempt
proves to be only an ineffective parody
on the original.
As an old Southern darkey, after
seeing it, remarket! (with his eyes
all "bugged" out and the frightful
memory of tho Ku Klux Klnn re
vivified again in his superstitious
Ethopian hear) "Tha don't NEED to
bo no udder DIS one am plum suf
ficinnce!" The wife of Nero is quoted by his
torians as having said: "May lie never
hnvo a son, that there be but one
Nero," and some such resolve mut
have taken possession cf Mr. Griffith
when, after having labored unceasing
ly for nearly a year, fought and begged
threatened and coaxed performers by
the thousands and squandered more
than a half million dollars in its
making he looked upon his marvel
ous handiwork and saw that it was
good and richly worth all he had ex
pended upon it in every way.
Very few if any, of the many mil
Irons who have witnessed it since that
epoch-making day, will do other than
enthusiastically echo the producer's
words.
Tho Birth Of a Nation is the spect
acle supreme of all times in America.
This sensation will be presented at
the Arcade theatre, Tuesday, August
28th, for one day only. The prices
will be: Matinee Children 25c; Adults
50c; Evenings, lower floor 50c and 75c
Bnlcony 50c. All seats will be re
served for the evening performance.
They will be placed on sale at the
theatre Saturday.
Due to the length of the show there
will be only one showing in the after
noon and one in the evening. This is
probably the last time this picture will
be shown here and it is urged that
the orders for tickets come in as early
as possible to assure everyone who
wishes a chance to see this wonderful
picture that their tickets will be held
for them.
