Phone 78 Screen Features Of Next Thiee Days The next three days at the Vlnlng Theatre hold forth attractions which are up to and beyond the highest standard which has been set at that popular picture house. Monday. A Metro feature, the second which has been shown in Ashland and a recent release, is "The Price of Mal ice," a five-part feature picture in which Hamilton Revelle is starred and Barbara Tennant is featured with strong situations and wonderful scenes make "The Witch" a picture which Is "different" and which ranks ' as one of the greatest productions of the Fox studios. "Let 'im Buck" Hats Are Everywhere "Let 'em buck." It is said that roundup hats to the number of sev eral hundred have been sold in Ash land within the past week, and it is a certified cinch that if all the wear- i him in i ii m it ii ii-iTownnn omniDTTi nr This Production will be presented , boOBter,Bm were eathered together the crowd would outnumber the an- here at the Vinlng on Monday even ing. It is a stirring story of diplo matic intrigue, with a novel love tale unfolded in an Interesting manner. An unusually strong supporting cast will be seen, which includes William Davidson, Helen Dunbar, Frank Glendon, Hugh Jeffrey, William Heck, William Calhoun and other well-known stage and screen artists. Tuesday. Pauline Frederick, beautiful Fam ous Players star, will be seen on the Vlnlng screen in one of the most thrilling dramatic stories which has ever been put out by the Paramount pictures people, on Tuesday evening. In this picture Miss Fredericks plays a dual role, that of a notorious Parisian beauty and her abandoned daughter. "The Spider," as the title suggests, gives a wonderful opportun ity for Miss Fredericks' ability.' This picture has attracted a great deal of attention in metropolitan motion pic ture circles and is conceded to be one of the attractions most worth while seeing. Wednesday. Motion picture fans are arriving at the stage of understanding at which they demand a perfectly direct ed play. Little incidents which a couple of years ago would have passed by unnoticed now create much j favorable comment, and a play which has the slightest bitch is condemned. nual meeting of the buttonhole mak ers' union of New York city, and as for enthusiasm well, Ashland is waking up.

Season at Caves Opens June 7th The season at the Marble Caves of southern Oregon will open on June when U. W. Rowley, the govern ment guide, will report at the caverns for duty. Mr. Rowley is a ranger connected with the Siskiyou forest reserve, detailed for special duty at the caves. Owing to the lateness of the season, the trail to the caves has had considerable snow over it in some of the higher places, but it is report ed that it will be In good condition by the 7th. The roads from Ashland to the cave camp on Williams creek will be w qUVU v uiiuiQi uuw, AWHDll- 1 ..... ness aside, the hats are a great ad-1 ,n flne sllaPe providing dry weather vertisement for Ashland's Rogue River Roundup and celebration. Wherever a booster goes he wears his cowboy lid and everywhere heads are turned and people ask, "Is there a show In town?" Pretty soon some one will start selling, some roundup continues. The trip from Ashland to the caves can be made in a single day, but Is a comfortable two-day trip. From Ashland to the foot of the trail Is about three hours by automobile. Nine miles of horseback riding or walking bring the tourist to the Old Graft Almost Works Ashlander Opening Announcement ; We take pleasure in announcing V. ;, the opening of the nshland hatbands and the hats will be much caves.

Post- irom nere ,n day I8' year, master Kaiser has gone the common ' herd one better and has a great broad-brimmed cowboy hat made of straw which combines comfort and all the virtues of the felt article. A conception of the magnitude of the celebration which Ashland Is plan ning is just beginning to be found by Ashland Itself. . The roundup hat is one symptom.

Swenson & Mcilae i M Hombrook Editor Labels Story False Hornbrook Leader: In the Sacra mento Bee of May 20 a Yreka corre spondent has a story that is a pure fake. The purpoit of It is that auto parties from Oregon on Sunday, May 14, visited Hornbrook, got full of booze and then drove their machines over the Siskiyou grade so recklessly as to be a menace to other travelers. Fifty citizens of Hornbrook who at tended the ball game in Medford that day will refute this story. The writer came over the grade between 7 and 9 p. m. on the night mentioned. We passed six or eight autos on our re turn. All. of them contained quiet, well-behaved people. Citizens return ing later report meeting boisterous auto parties. That this Yreka penny-a-liner fakes news because he is paid to send it in is apparent. He has another story in the Bee of May 24, concern ing mining.. In this article he re ports "five stamps dropping steadily at the Nigger Boy property." Yet the Nigger Boy closed down nearly two months ago. Come back, ye days of Barnum. "There's one born every minute." When the pickings ran high and the elusive little pea jigged merrily. This Robinson's circus which showed over at Montague last Sunday and at Med ford Monday was one of the regular old "wide open, grab every nickel that will pry loose" species of show, according to the story of some of the boys who ran up against the wiles of the showmen over at Montague. One respectable Ashland citizen forgot himself for a minute and oblig ingly offered to give one of the ticket sellers a gold piece for some silver. The circus man took the shiny five, then decided he would keep the sil ver, but through some "mistake" handed back a nickel instead of the gold piece. They say our fellow-cltl zen mounted tne box on which the showman was standing and taking him by the neck told him exactly where he would land up if he didn't disgorge. The showman disgorged The Ashland crowd with their cow boy hats must have looked like easy marks to the men of the tents. It Is said that every kind of a game known to be a quick and sure way of sepa rating a man and his money was in operation, and no doubt the Ashland crowd looked like money, as they were invited to try their luck on every side. However, if any of the crowd from here did fall for the games they kept it quiet. The trip over the mountain was a big success as an advertising stunt for the Ashland celebration. No doubt like excursions to valley towns will be arranged for the future. Art Shop Main at Oak Street Thursday, June 1st A most cordial invitation is extended to all to call and inspect our stock.

Late Tourist Season at Lake Klamath Falls Herald: The tour ist season at Crater Lake national park will begin later than usual this year, according to Assistant Superin tendent H. E. Momyer, who has been here for several days. Mr. Momyer left today for the park, accompanied by Mrs. Momyer, who will spend the summer in the park. "When I left a few days ago there was seven feet of snow at park head quarters," said Momyer, "The depth is greater than usual, and this means a delay in auto traffic into the park." The sundry civil service bill Just reported in congress carries $3,000 for operating expenses in Crater Lake national park for the year, and $50, 000 for road building in the park. The engineers estimated this sum for a year's work when they made their recommendation for two years' road work.
