Week's Attractions
At Vining Theatre
This week's attractions at the Vin
ing Theatre rank with the best which
have been ottered at the Vining.
Tonight,
"The Chalice of Courage" will be
shown again tonight at the Vining
Theatre. Ask someone who was
there last night. It is a great plrf
ture. Tuesday.
On Tuesday night Laura Hope
Crews will be shown In "Blackbirds,"
a story of a gang of high-class
crooks. Miss Crews assumes the part
of the queen of a band of internatlon-!
al smugglers. A thrilling love theme
is woven into a tale of Intrigue which I
has no equal In the thousands of i
"crook" pictures which have been
Ulrich Will Enter
Fat Man's Race
. produced.
Wednesday.
On Wednesday Walker Whiteside,
one or tne greatest living actors ana
who appeared recently at Medford in
"The Typhoon," will be shown in the
only motion picture in which he has
ever acted, "The Melting Pot." Just
now the eyes and sympathies of the
entire world are turned toward the
unfortunate Jews in Russian Foland,
and "The Melting Pot" Is a most
timely offering, which, although the
scenes are laid in this country, deals
with characters who have escaped
Russian massacres and fled to this
country to begin life anew.
The shadow of Russian persecution
hangs like a pall over the play,
which, while not gloomy or morbid,
nevertheless reflects, in no uncertain
terms, that terrible racial hatred and
its results which have from time to
time shocked the world. "The Melt
ing Pot" is America, Into which is
blended the peoples of all nations to
be re-formed and made Into a new
race, the ideal American of the fu
ture. The story deals with the love and
life of a young Jew and Jewess, their
thrilling experience and final arrival
at happiness In the United States.
Thursday.
"Who killed the Widow Lerouge?"
This is the question calculated to puz
zle the brain of even Sherlock
Holmes himself, in the latest and
greatest William Fox photoplay,
"The Family Stain," and which Is
asked and answered with fascinating
and thrilling dramatic power in this
screen play supreme.
Suspicion rests upon six persons
four men and two women. The skein
appears to be Impossible of unravel
ling. The tangled web of evidence
enmeshes first one and then another
of the suspects till the spectator
thrills in sympathy with their sev
eral predicaments.
Not till the very end of this re)
markable and noteworthy drama of
the silent Btage is the mystery solved
in a manner so striking and original
in its astonishing denouement that
"The Family Stain" has been de
clared by the metropolitan press to
stand in a class absolutely by itself.
The production abounds in strong
and powerful climaxes and swift,
thrilling action that sweeps on from
first. scene to the last, like a mighty
river in flood. A magnificent cast
Frederick Perry, Walter Miller, Edith
Ilallor and other renowned Broadway
favorites.
The idea of a valley business men's
picnic, which was mentioned by Pres
ident Shlnn of the Business Men's
Association at a recent meeting dur
Ing a delineation of the future actlv
ities which the club should foster,
has aroused a great amount of com
ment already from throughout the
valley, and assurances are pouring in
from every side that the valley mer
chants will eagerly coVoperate in a
great picnic gathering in Llthla park.
Great prospects for a wonderfully
good time are held forth in such a
picnic. If the proper spirit of hos.
pltality'ls evidenced by local mer
eiiHiits it is probable that every store
in Ashland and practically every
store In the valley would close and
send owners and clerks alike to the

these the days of world foment and fret,
When names of mighty captains and of kings
Are blared and blazoned, let us not forget
Our own of old who did heroic things,
With naught of buglings nor of trumpetings,
But just for Duty wrought
And Freedom's battle fought
Where old world greed and new world justice met
HEY were not millions scant battalions they
Who pioneered for Liberty and poured
The blood of sacrifice, from day to day
Upbore the flintlock and unsheathed the sword
Against a foolish king's invading horde.
And weary year by year
Fought on without a fear
For Progress hewing out a broader way.

HEY were not driven to the roaring line
By men who sat in council safe and far
With badges on their bosoms as a sign
Of greatness, as today the myriads are,
Under the reek of shells that seam and scar
The earth, but they were led
By men who marched ahead.
Willing to pour their blood as precious wine.
OO much we prate and babble of the sound
And fury of the fight and make a cult
Of numbers fallen and the wrested ground
Nor reckon shrewdly of the long result
Our Continentals heaved the catapult
Against an ancient wall
Of tyranny and thrall
And gave Old Monarchy his mortal wound.
HE leader wise, far-looking, strong, serene,
A man of stalwart mold in bone and brain,
Truly the breathing soul of the machine
That ground the foe ,as millstones grind the grain
For final salvage and the greater gain
He still goes marching on,
Unequaled Washington,
Our great First Captain of heroic mien.
