"Antic of Ann" and "That Night'
Both lllillt for Lnu::'itcr.
A rather unique ending has liicn
Brranged by Director Edward Dillon
for Ann Pennlngtwu In her newest
Paramount picture, "The Antics of
Ann." This la -a .distinct departure
from the conventional ending, which
as' a matter of course displays llio
hero and heroine In a "fado out" of
some romantic love scene.
In "The Antics of Ann," the cele
brated little dancer "Zlegfold Fol
lies" fame is seen at the clone of the
film bravely eating biscuits with her
(of course) screen husband. She
made the biscuits herself, and judg
ing from what we have previously
seen of the fair heroine, fudge would
he distinctly more in her line.
' The story l one of the most spon
taneously humorous of any Miss Pen
nington has bo far appeared in. - It
ta to be shown at the Arcade theatre
today and tomorrow. .
On this program will see the flrnt
of the noweat twe reel comedies that
are now made. These are the Mack
Bennett-Paramount comedlca and
they have been taking the country by
Storm not only from the fact that
they are funny, but that Mack Sen
nett has secured a biinch of girls that
one would havo tb look a long time
to find nny as easy to look at as his
"beauties" are.
These comedies will bo shown at
the Arcade each Monday and Tues
day until further notice. Tho ono
that will be shown tonight and to
morrow is called "That Night" and
it sure was "some" night. Charlie
Murray has tho lead but ho Is ahly
assisted by Wuylaud Trnak, Mary
Thurman and of com iho Bennett
Beauties.

a bullet through your hat? Then,
having convinced yourself that it was
an accident, how would you feel if an
you lay in bed, two more bullets came
sniping through the window and bur
ied themselves in the headbord of your
bed' That was tho reception which
awaited young Jerry .Brennon, the
cleverest detective on Chief Grady'ti

rounding up criminals and unraveling
mysteries and whose nerves had suf
fered in the process. Jerry did the
unexpected, for instead of bom;
chnBcd oway by these manifestations,
ho went right to work and solved the
biggest mystery of them oil, winning
a brido as a side issuo, and congratula
tions from even his worst enemy. All
this nnd much more happens in the

Life Hangs in Balance
PORTLAND, Jan. 28. (Special.)
If Mm. Gladys Guy-Mordcn recovers
from wounds inflicted by Clarence
Guy last Friday afternoon, it will be
short of miraculous.
While she was reported to be im
proved, generally speaking, Dr. E. II.
Cntril, the attending physician, snid
that tfio has so many difficulties
ahead that it cannot bo said with any
degree of certainty what tho outcome
will be. She was shot through the
liver and stomnch and may suffer any
one of several troubles, such as peri
tonitis. Mrs. Guy-Mordcn was tho victim of
a triangle tragedy, being married to
R. A. Mordon, as well as to Guy. The
latter shot her because she refused to
leave Morden.

'other of the! Dry Law nnd Member
of the Legislature Will Come ISnek
Later On a Speaking Tour.
A well-dressed, genial looking man
clean shaved, with a' bright, alert
eye, walked Into the Observer office
this morning accbinpanled by Colon j
R. Eberhard.
He proved to be Dr. J. E. Ander
son, candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor,
Dr. Anderson hails from The
Dalles. He Is the father of tho pres
ent dry law in Oregon and has been
an active and efficient member of
the legislature.
Dr. Anderson is making no big
boasts about his candidacy, but ho Is
organizing it thoroughly and he ex
pects to get nominated. Since he
came out he has over eight hundred
personal voluntary letters endorsing
his candidacy, which is pretty good.
After a preliminary survey. Dr.
Anderson expects to make a speak
ing campaign through the state and
enpects to include Union county on
his itinerary.
.
. Candidate for Governor.
Secretary of State Den W. Olcott
has announcd his candidacy for gov
ernor. He announces that If nomi
nated and elected he fwlll resign as
Secretary of State, thus permitting
Governor Withycombo to appoint his
successor. He will run on an econ
omy and efficiency platform.
Mr. Olcott saysi
"The state Is similar to a largo
business corporation. It Is the poo-
pie's corporation. A privato corpora-
Hon, unioss backed by unlimited ro-
Huuicua line 1110 biulc, nruum nui
time and capabilities In applying
business judgment and business
oconomsr lo ils uffalr3- Xethcr can
ine siaie b uutunuRB run ui iiBuiL unu
keep within the bounds of economy
and on a plane of efficiency. As
governor I would expect to be the
business head of tho great corpora
tion of the people and would apply
my energies to mako a suecc3S of the
business.
Because all state business flows 1
through the office of secretary ol i
state no office affords such Intimate :
knowledge of state affairs as does !
It. This office I have held for the j
last seven years. The knowledge ;
nnd experience thus gained will be I
of Immense valuo to a chief execu
tive. Added to this is my famil
iarity with state institutions and act
ivities gained as a mombcr of the
Board of Control.
"Tho people of Oregon havo em
phatically voiced their sentiment In
favor of prohibition, and If I am
elected govornor I shall consider It !
my duty to use the power of that 1
office to see that tho laws are en
forced. And If, while I am govorn
or, tho "dry" amendment to the fed
eral constitution, providing for na
tional prohibition, is submitted to
tho stntes for ratification I shall
givo It my endorsement nnd urge its
speedy npprovol by the Oregon legis
lature. Likewise, should the nation- ;
nl womans' suffrage amendment '
pass Congress, as it now appears It j
will, I shall give It similar endorse- j
ment. j
"As the proper performance of my ;
duties as secretary of state requires j
my undivided personal nttentlon, I .
shall spend no time campaigning !
over the state. Tho peoplo of tho
state are paying me a salary to look ;
after their business, and I cannot j
properly do this when away from the ;
office." . !
R. N. Stantleld i3 In Portland and ;
will start this week on a tour of the
Willamette Valley.
L. J. Simpson, of North Bend, will
soon announce his decision as to j
whether ho will run for the Republic
