Some people will wonder where Harold Lloyd found the j "moder for his chararcterUatien Jn "Dr Jack," hia newest comedy feature comedy.' The medical profession Is full of "Dr. Jacks," or "Dr. Jack," to be more correct. v While Lloyd wa3- making his , new comedy, he had visits tfonj many well known physicians, who .'gave him valuable advice in the 'development of his story. One was Dr. Peck, , aa eminent eye, nose and throat , specialist oi i Chicago. ' , ' , - When Dr. Peck : had the story of "Dr. Jack" outlined to him by : Lloyd, he laughed heartily, for It ; brought to his mind 1 "Dr. Sun shine," as one 6f Chicago's fore- most specialists in children's dis eases Is known; "Dr. . Sunshine" effects his cures -just as' Lloyd does In "Dr Jack." Sunshine,, a little candy, and wonders' are worked by this noted ' Chicago .physician, in his own peculiar way. In his medic Ine case -or what should be his .medicine case -he carries jars of Jelly, . lollypops, and most . every thing else but medicine, , . ' Lloyd had never heard of this doctor" before Ills' visit from Dr -Peck; who assured him; "however that In his many years of practice he had met' many physicians who will probably be known as "Dr Jacks," "when the new. Lloyd com edy 'Is exploited throughout the country. , ; - . ' The Staff erd Comedy Trio is an. act of three, young men whose harmony is very pleasing in pop ular . and. old songs. - Laughs are numerous and. the comic is really funny. : .The : act la 1 neat, , classy and clean., .

An . authentic reproduction of New York's most famous "artbt's etudlo, one that has been frequent ly mentioned ' in connection with several romances, has been used aa' a setting In "Heedless Moths," the picture dealing with life in artists', studios, gtrring the beau tiful'' Audrey i Munson;. starting at the - Liberty today, -r The picture presents the" life story v of '. this world-famous, art model, the struggles of Miss Mun son', to -preserve her- eelf-respect,. and the private lives of the artists themselves - realistically reproduced,- carrying a - message that can never.be forgotten. - ,r", ' The settings ' and details of ev ery scene are taken from actual reality all of. the interiors and locations, as well, as some of the players themselves', being genu inely' faithful to the scenes which they deptct.'

" 1 Another of those splendid casts that are characteristic of Para mount ' pictures has been as sembled for "Singed Wings," Pen rhyn Stanlaws' new production in which Bebe Daniels -and Conrad Nagel are featured, and I which starts at the Oregon today. Miss Daniels has the role of Bonita del la Guerda, a beautiful Spanish cafe dancer, while Mr. Nagel plays the leading masculine part, that of Peter Gordon. Mr. Nagel is regarded as one of the : screen's best young . actors and his role in "Singed Wings" gives him ample opportunity i to . display his talent to the best advantage. ' , The heavy ; role is played by Adolphe Menjou, one of the best players of ballroom and polished villain role3. Don Jose della Guerda, grandfather of Bonita, is played by Robert Brower. An old man hardly able to walk with the aid of his- cane and teased to exasperation by Emilio. a sim ple minded clown, Mr. ; Brower has created a character of great strength.: Ernest Torrence has the part of . Emilio, one of the strongest characterizations in the ' picture. Emilio is a clown tin the, cafe; at which Bonita dances. He is sim ple minded, but cunning never theless." He loves Bonita, t who treats' him kindly (and thereby provokes a tragedy. The remain ing role,1 that of Eve Gordon, the neglected wife of Bliss Gordon, is played by . Mabel Trundle. Find ing herself losing the love of her husband; she faces death, and is killed in ait effort to regain that love. i ' Helen: Holmes, once famous the world over as queen of thrilling railroad ! serials, is "at . the Bligh this week. ". She is appearing with Hoot Gibson in his latest starring vehicle, ,"The Lone Hand," writ ten by Ralph Cummins and di rected by Reaves Eason. It is a story of a hard riding cowboy turned - "slicker" for a day. who, though- vacation bent, runs' into a hotbed of excitement. . The star is supported by a brilliant cast Including Marjorie Daw, William Welsh, Jack Pratt, Jim Corey, Hayden Stevenson,' Robert Kort man and others. ' Exceptional care was -used by the . casting director at Universal City in selecting the - company which made "In the Days of Buf falo Bill." (the. historical chapter play : which ' is now being shown at the Bllgh theater. Art Acord, star of the piece,; plays the part of Art Taylor; famous scout and Duke 'Lee interprets the charact er role of Buffalo Bill.i Univer sal "was! most fortunate in obtain in? the services of Joseph H. Hazleton,.who is playing .the part of Gideon Wells, secretary of the navy, in .Lincoln's cabinet. Mr. Hazleton was a program boy in the theatre at the time when Lin coln was' assassinated and is able to give t detailed accounts of the tragedy itself end of other events of the . tragic : time. His own ac count of the tragic event far sur passes any recounted in history. The Dixie Minstrels ;f ft the Grand tonight are reputed to be "kings" of - jazz .- and melody.

Saturday Night DEVELOPMENT OF 1 Experiments Made from Old lower ot Late Dear born Station CHICAGO, Jan. 13. The re cent, burning of the old Dearborn station ' here recalls the fact that the clock tower which suffered particularly from the flames, fig ured in the beginning of rad!o development.! In the summer of 1890, according to John W. Clarke, assistant chief engineer of the Chicago Eastern Indiana railroad , aerials were rigged up from the tower and experiments were performed which while only partly, successful, convinced the experimenters" that wireless mes sages could be Bent. "Benjamin Thomas was gener al manager then," said Mr. Clarke. "Permission was ''" ob tained for a professor from Notre pame to string aerials from the tower of the Tribune building. Words .were exchanged, but the messages were broken. ir was concluded that the aerials were too low and that the noises of Dearborn street interferred." . J. E. Murphy, treasurer of the railroad company, said he re membered that , such experiments were conducted from the old i tower, Mr., Murphy and Mr. Clarke are among the oldest of ficials of the road in point of 0 BEGUN 0 fu T , "Day by day in A M X ' every Way show "s1 yL at 1 Oregon are r-sf fr getting better and !. . f, "iT Bebe as ffor jf ' ' Vr geous Spanish dan- " . ;l 1 , iup cer who plays with 'S Mm the hearts of mcru X, - I , VaTN A flaming love dra- - .
