CAMPBELL. ii Movie Matters ;i. ;; J We dropped into' the Vining Thea tre office the other afternoon during matinee time and found Mrs. Berg uer entertaining a diminutive guest, , little boy about four years old. The poor little fellow had come to the matinee with his older brother but became afraid of the dark in the j theatre and was sobbing as If his ; heart would break when Mrs. Berg-: ner found him. . Anyhow, there he j was in the ticket office, sitting be-j side Mrs. Bergner sucking on a stick ( of candy and tightly gripping a candy sack full of sweets, the purchase of which must have made a hole In the j profits on at least one admission. But he was happy and satisfied, which is all any theatre can hope to do for its patrons. Service really means something up at the Vinlug. Ashland likes vaudeville. The Vin ing had a full house Friday evening, and here's hoping we can have an other night of vaudeville at least once every two weeks. We can have it all winter if the patronage holds up, but if Ashland theatre-goers want the best in vaudeville otheren gagements must be sidetracked and the Vining filled every vaudeville night.

"The Roses Have Nothing On You" is the result. Bobby Connelly, the Vita graph youngster, is the subject of "Sonny Jim," a novel now on sale? -rul! nWmlramntic writing was put in its proper place several , days ago by a carpenter working in the home of Cecil B. De Mille, the Lasky company director general of Paramount pictures. The carpenter .pent a number of days building a small closet. When he finished he said to Mrs. De Mille, "I am sorry it took so long, but you know you can t build a closet as easy as you write a Bcenario." George DuBois Proctor, the Lasky scenario writer, has taken unto him self a bungalow, and he and his bride have settled down to a belated honey moon during the spare moments when George can dlvorca himself One of the screen's great mysteries has been cleared up. The handsome man who played the assistant detec tive in the Famous Players-Paramount picture "The Smugglers" was none other than William Scully, as sistant to Director Sidney Olcott, who presided over the picture. His other duties resting lightly upon his shoul ders for the moment, Scully agreed to play the part. A little Incident that will convince the screen-struck that the life of a photo dramatic artist is not a bed of roses occurred at the Lasky studio last week during the taking of "An ton the Terrible," a Paramount pic ture, under the direction of William C. Do Mille. In order to have the picture finished on schedule time the company worked from 9 o'clock one morning until 7 o'clock the next, with pauses only for meals. They promptly changed the name of the picture from "Anton the Terrible" to .'"William the Terrible." Ask Herbert Standing, the veteran Pallas-Paramount actor, to name his j favorite make of machine and thee quietly remove the cotton from your left ear while he speaks: "My idea of a perfect machine is one that runs on paved streets and gasoline; a car that is at least eight inches above ground and able to turn on a Mexi can lead dollar; a car that favors not a brier patch but is content to go whither thou may wish without a public demonstration; a car " You leave him here in the middle of his conversation and a kind friend ex plains the reason. Mr. Standing was preparing to go on location in a com pany car when he was prevailed upon by a friend to make the trip in his (the friend's) "mechanical skyrock et." one of those small affairs that is Just the right size to run under an ice wagon. Mr. Standing went. When they were about two miles from San Pedro the bobbin slipped in the appaiatus and one well-known actor proceeded to plow a furrow through the weeds of the byway. The Pallas car following picked them up and Mr. Standing spent thexrest of the day picking burrs out of his neck tie. Saving Seed Corn Fiom Frosted Field In order to secure corn, much of which has undoubtedly been very seriously damaged by the early frost, suitable for seed for next season's crop, farmers v should go through their fields before cutting the corn for silage and snap off all of the more mature ears which show reas onably good denting. "The early frost has caught a good deal of the early seed corn in the milk and much of it will be unfit for seed purposes," says G. R. Hyslop, specialist in field crops at the Ore gon Agricultural College. "Seed corn will undoubtedly be a very scarce article next spring. By going through the field and snapping off the more mature ears, farmers will frequently be able to secure sat isfactory seed. These ears should be husked out within a few days and stored on the drying rack recom mended by the college, in some place that is warm with a current of air. Most of the immature corn may be dried in sufficiently good condition to germinate and produce good corn next year. "This season has been late as to growing and early as to frost. It very forcibly demonstrates the ne cessity for an early to a medium ma turing variety of silage corn, both from the standpoint of quality of silage and ability to secure sufficient seed to keep up the crop. Tnder no condition try to store the immature corn in bulk or on shelves or in sacks. If you do, it will certainly mold. It should be put on racks or on wires, or should be tied up with string bo that no two ears touch and so that the air has access to each ear. Put the corn in a place that is warm and in a draught Hi it will dj-y oui quickly and without sprouting, n put into a place that is warm without ventila tion the Immature corn is likely to sprout at once. If put into a cool place without ventilation, the ten dency is for it to mold and sour. Corn will successfully stand 130 de grees Fahrenheit. "Every farmer should save enough of his best mature seed and dry it in order to be certain of a seed stock for next year." M.

Mowat) Absolutely the "latest", we learn on excellent authority, is to ' finish and trim the boudoir of my lady, in black. A certain young lady return ed from San Francisco for a few weeks' vacation not long aga and In sisted that she. would laquer her bedstead black and paint a black band around the walls like picture moulding. She didn't because, to quote her mother, "thank goodness, she didn't have time". The Idea has its possibilities, however, and when the craze of "doing things in black" does strike Ashland we are going to try out several notions ourself. Would it not be extremely novel, for instance, to paint black shadows for all the telephone posts in town so that no matter how dark the day we could point to them and tell the stranger abou,t town how many days out of the year the sun shines here? At night the shadows could be blam ed to the moon. And then if a per son got shadows under their eyes from staying up late blame it on the fad. We could paint black spots on every white cur we ran across and make coach hounds out of them. We could paint black stripes across the road to look like ditches and bumps until when the auto tourist hit Ashland he would not know whether he was in the state of Ore gon or the state of intoxication. We could paint on socks and reduce our laundry bills, and carry a little phial of black paint so that if we barked our shines . Oh, the thing has un limited possibilities. The Portland Oregonlan In a half column article tells of several large wagers which have been made on Hughes, giving amounts which run to $2500 for a single bet, and the names of those placing the wagers.

And yet if we were to tell the names and amounts bet in a sociable little game of penny ante at a friend's house the other night, the whole bunch would be pinched and we would be cast out as a "squealer" from the companion ship of all men.

When the council was talking over changes to be made in the council chamber and someone stated that there would have to be some new picture mould ing to hang the pictures which the Commercial Club is furnishing, Councilman Banta jumped to his feet with a demand, "What is the matter with the present moulding?" After the laughter had subsided someone noticed that Mr. Banta's glasses were lying on the. desk. The "moulding" as it is at present is merely a painted) Imitation done on the wallpaper. We wondered what kept Agent G. N. Kramer, Dr. Boslough and their bunch so long over in the Klamath j country where they claimed to have I been duck hunting until we read a 'despatch from Klamath Falls stat ing that Sheriff Low had poured 1 CSS bottles and four cases of con fiscated liquor Ihto Lake Ewauna. Chances are the ducks and geese all Imbibed too freely and became such easy prey that the Ashlanders Just couldn't tear themselves away. Sam Hill says the ladies' skirts have been getting shorter and short er these last four years of demo cratic administration in direct ratio to ,way the men's funds are getting shorter- and shorter. He says It Is the greatest argument he knows of in favor of electing Hughes, but Al Simpson says he thinks we cai: stand a year or twq, more of Wilson, con sidering both sides of the question.

High Praise for Feature Production The Portland Oregonlan says of "Civilization," the eleven-reel million-dollar movie wllch is coming to the Vining on Monday and Tuesday of next week: " 'Civilization,' now being screened at tho Hetlig Theatre, is one of the most daring protests against the self ishness and inhumanity of a war of greed and acquisition the world has known.

A great ocean .liner is torpedoed and women and children drown. Hardly less vivid is a superbly staged fight in the interior of a sub marine when its commander, sick ened at slaughter, opens the torpedo tube awl sends the engine of death to the bottom. "Many scenes of 'Civilization' grip the spectator tremendously. The) transition from peace to war comes like a thunderclap. The miseries of the conscription system are shown in a virile manner and it is not until the Christ, reincarnated in the body of the Fiilmiarine commander, re turns to earth and works his miracles anew that the audience relaxes a bit of Its tension and learns to lovs peace for its own sake. " 'Civilization' is to humanity what water is to the parched throat of the desert traveler. It brings back san ity and understanding and is the nioBt powerful protest against war in the history of the civilized world, says one critic." Eat at Lithia Restaurant. 39-3t day from the studio. jM
