MOTHER LOVE A
FEATURE IN
FOXDRAMA
Famous. 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.

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.

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. Bartlctt left Friday af
ternoon for Rochester, Minnesota,
where he will take a post graduate
course at the Mayo Bros. Surgical
College for the next few weeks. Ho
expects to return to Vale the early
part of February.
While in tho East Dr. Bartlett will
visit Chicago, New York, and other
cities. Ho went directly to St. Louis
upon leaving Vale, where he will re
main for a few days before taking up
his work in Minnesota.

In viow of Secretary Lane's ex

support for these two projects from
