Star and Juveniles in Cast For Emotional Fox Drama at' The Rex Next Week We Wish A - - - -Merry Christmas to All ! Mother love forms one of the chief themes in the master motion picture drama "Slander," recently released by William Fox, -who presents in this film for the first time under his aus pices the stage star Bertha Kalich at the Rex Theatre, Wednesday night, Dec. 20. The ability of Mme. Kalich as an emotional actress, already has placed her in the halls of dramatic fame. As her character in the film story of "Slander," Mme. Kalich is ousted from her homo and divorced from her husband through the injustice of that cowardly weapon the name of which is used as the play's title. She is forced to leave her two children, Which parts are taken by the talent ed juvenile actor and actress, little Miss Jacqueline Morhange and Master Walter Ferguson. Illiifillk liPl WBSSBk S 91 JCLtAfM FOX. PRODUCTION Tho wronged wife after a long ab senco returns to see her children, al though tho courts gave tho father their custody. She is discovered by her husband, which part is acted by M. Jerome Lawlnr. The latter returns to discover his divorced wife with the two children, and a scene follows which is a wonderful piece of acting on tne part of tho great star, her op posite and the two little ones. Mme. Kalich in this picture play does acting which critics assert is even more wonderful than her stage triumphs. She is a great advocate of tho motion picture, and doubtless feels before tho camera an inspiration which is as great or greater than that "stage power" which actor folks feel before the footlights.

BAKTLETT TO TAKE POST GRADUATE COURSE Vale Physician to Take Extensive Trip to liist for Medical Study in Surgical College SINNOTT SENDS SEEDS Congressman "Nick" Sinnott has requested the Malheur Enterprise to assist him in the distribution of tho government vegetable and flower seeds allotted to him for this com munity, by tho Department of Agri culture. This method of distributing seeds through cooperation with the newspapers of his district was first tried by our congressman last year. It worked so satisfactorily that he Is repeating it this year. It was found that this method got the seeds in the hands of those really desiring them and so was far better than tho method of sending them out indiscriminately, congressman Sinnott also requested us to announce that ho retained small quantity of tho seed at his of fice in Washington (Room 494 House of Representatives). Anyono failing to obtain seeds otherwise may thus get them directly by writing him there, so long as the supply lasts. Dr. Carl J.
