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. '

When Warren Kerrigan goes into i
Taudevllle it will probably be in a
playlet vritten by his sister, Kath

Hazel Dawn will not be the only
star in "The Century Girl" who has
been in pictures?
Among other members of "The
Century Girl" cast are Elsie Janis,
Sam Bernnrd, Marie Dressier and
Eddie Foy?
Franklin Farnura, appearing in
Universal pictures, is not a brother
of William, Dustin and Marshall Far
num? Rapley Holmes, husband of Gerda
Holmes, who directed and acted in
Essanay pictures, is supporting Wil

site Lou Tellegan In his third Lasky ;
picture, as the role is that or a Span

Bessie Love took a "header" over
a horse's head during the filming of
"The Defenders"? She was not seri
ously injured.
Margarita Fischer is the latest to
inspire the muse? "The Roses Have
Nothing On You" is the result.
Bobby Connelly, the Vita graph

-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."

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."

1 Heard and Overheard f
(By Lynn D. 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.

Councilman Banta is ever watch
ful ot'the city's finances. 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.

High Praise for

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. There is a bombardment of
a city by aeroplanes where great
buildings are demolished and hun
dreds left dead under the debris of
the buildings. There Is a naval bat

dreadnoughts are battered to ploces
'and sunk. One scene shows a mass
of soldiers fighting in a trench which,
is In the range of the enemy's shells
and shrapnel. 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."
