qualified success at the Rivoli the
ater. It is a rollicking story and
well worth witnessing.
The story is about young Manna
duke Clarke, played by young
Barry, who is an only son of wealth,
pampered and kept in a hot-house
kind of atmosphere, so far as his
enjoyments and activities are con
cerned, until he is developing into a
mollycoddle. While craving adven
ture a burglar enters the house.
Marmaduke has been secretly read
ing a . paper-covered thriller and
promptly assumed that the intruder
is" "Diamond Dick." Instantly he
wishes to help the burglar loot the
house, but that individual, much to
the boy's disappointment, quits the
house abruptlj't But the youngster
follows him to the den of thieves.
leaving a note for his doting parents
that he had gone away to have
some fun. Marmaduke attaches him
self to one member of the gang, his
supposed burglar, played capably by
N'iles Welsh. The latter, after a
fight splits with the leader of the
gang, and takes the boy away from

big reward. They find their way,
by a woodpile route, to the home of
a country sheriff. There the ro
mance begins with the .sheriffs
ward, played by Ruth Renick, a
sweet-looking girl of considerable
attractiveness.
But just when everything is run
ning smoothly in walks a detective
and with the orders, "Stick them up,
Saunders, "the hero puts both hands 1
m the air. He hears his sweet-1
heart heine. tnlrl trijt he has snent 1
a year in prison and that he is now I
wanted again by the authorities.
Then in rushes some boys with the
startling news that the gang has
stolen Marmaduke. Saunders pleads
with the detective to let him rescue
the boy, fearing that they will harm
him this time. The detective re
gards it as a ruse, and sneeringly
refuses. Saunders upsets him and
breaks away'. He rescues the boy
and captures the three members of
the gang with which he was sup
posed to be connected. Then he re
turns to the detective, who hastens
to put the handcuffs on him, but who
is stopped with: "Don't be a boob.

gang to get the drop on them."

This will be accomplished through the high quality of this wonderful piano its present extremly
low price and exceptionally easy terms.
We believe there are many reliabe men and women right here in Portland today who have long
had a sincere desire, to own a new, strictly high-grade piano, but on account of the high price and the.
large first payment, customarily exacted, have put off the transaction from time to time rather than
try to be satisfied with an ordinary instrument at a lower price and oh easier terms.
We believe this so thoroughy that we have determined to place on sale, for a short time only, this
beautiful Style 2, Bush & Lane Piano (an instrument recognized everywhere as one of America's very
finest and best), at a price far lower than it has been for many years, and on terms so easy as to ex
clude from consideration the least possibility of inconvenience.

: . So to make certain the sale of a large number of these genuine Bush & Lane Pianos
within a very short period of time we have put the price so low that we can and do guar
antee the present price for the next five years.
This means that if, for any reason unforeseen at this time, our price on tnis instru-,
ment should become less within the next five years, anyone purchasing one of these instruments dur
ing this sale will have the difference refunded.
The Bush & Lane Piano
Has No Superior
In support of our contention that the Bush & Lane
Piano has no superior, we agree to pay
$1000 IN CASH
to any one who can prove that it is other than a
strictly high-grade and artistic piano, or that there
is any piano sold in America today that, : from a

Bush & Lane Piano.
The Bush & Lane Piano
