' v Start to Finish
The , romance, excitement and
freedom ol the west is brought to
the, screen with Yivld realism in
"A Man Of Nerve," the latest
prd"u'ctldn"staf ring' Bob ? Custer,
yhich opened "its" "local engage
ment at the Ileilig theatre yester
day. It can be Bald without fear
of exaggeration that the picture Is
the best of the Custer series thus
far; and that , Is more than a
modicum' of praise. '

from, the -Western Magazine tale

little ' ambition. Thereby hangs a
talo and much excitement.
The fight scenes in, "A Man Of
JCerTe"- are - corkers. '. Nothing
ince the famous fight in .''The

tween Hack and the heavy In
which' the latter strives.'ttf efface
his rival from the face of civiliza
tion with a piece of broken glass.
Several other excellent battles re
.. suit, and the pace the whole F. B.
O. feature sets, is . faster Than
Pa'avo Nurmi.
Rob Custer was never seen to
better advantage than in the role
of Henderson. - ,He establishes the
distinctive characteristics of the
hero with fine skill, and has Bub
merged his own likeable persolt
: ality in the even more delightful
Hackamore. i
A special musical feature will
be presented at the Ileilig theatre

manner in which ehe adapted her
self to her part rousing the laugh
ing approval of all. . .
, ..As fart as .the. masculine roles
were concerned, Deryl. Meyers as
the. explosive, . pnwlelding senior
partner ia the pill firm, George
Nettleon--and Wayne Harris, as
the uncontalned "equally Import
ant T. Roggs Johns, had an even
draw. Both "were 'far-out of the
field of Jutenlle actors; both car
ried sophisticated roles with a
readiness that belied their years.
The wonderfully expressive facial
acting of Mr. Harris was equalled
onlyiby-Hhes.8tage-poise of Mr.
Meyers.,,
Ezra Webb, as Krome, the-office
assistant, and John Creech,
as Jimmy, the office boy, made
distinct hits with the audience in
two outstanding background
roIeB. A number of moments
of which splendid advantage was
taken were . given for real act
ing. Homer Richards as Tony Toler,
Leroy Grote as Samuel Applegate,
and James Campbell as the ship
ping clerk filled the roles that
bound the elements of the play
together, as far as the business
side, was concerned? Ethelma Ed
wards, the determined and off
times, hysterical wife of Mr. Net
tlettm, likewise carried her part
through with some creditable
acting, v None of the group oncer
went beyond bounds into the
theatrical. Perhaps ' one of the
most remarkable roles of all was
that taken by Julia Query, who
fUled the - part of Coddles, the!
English maid, who was delicious
with her accent and her shuffle.
Large credit for the success of
the event -goes to the director
Perry. Preacott ,Reigelman who
brought the comedy to the
heights it attained.
Jlorrrer Richards acted as gene
ral manager of the play, while
Jack Spang, assisted by, Ralph
Wilson, handled the advertising.
Property . manager was William
Sisson, while Mary Cupper was in
charge of the wardrobe. Leroy
Grote took charge, of the candy

acts.

In certain remote sections of
West Virginia there is no liking
for auttunobilists, as wao evidenc
ed in the case of a Washingtonian
who was motoring in a sparsely
settled region of the state.
This gentleman was haled be
fore a local magistrate upon the
complaint of a constable. The
Uuagistrate. a good-natured man.
was not. however, absolutely cer
tain that the Washingtonian's car
had been driven too "fast; and the
owner stoutly insisted that he had
been progressing at the rate of
only Fix miles an hour.
"Why. your Honor," he said.
my engine was out of order, an.l
I was going very slowly because
I was afraid it would break down
completely. I give you my word,
sir, you could have walked as fast
as I was running."
' "Well." said the magistrate, af
ter due reflection, "you don't ap
pear to have been exceeding the
tpeed limit, but at the same time
you must have been 'guilty of
something, or you wouldn't b
here. I fine-you.$10 for loiter
ing." ,
Once upon a time a deacon who
id not favor church -bazaars was
going along a dark street when a
ootpud suddenly appeared, and.
pointing his pistol, began to re-
ieve his victim of his money.
The thief, however, apparently'
uf fered some pangs of remorse,
It's pretty rough to be gone
through like this, ain't it sir?" he
nquired.
'Oh, that's all right, my man'
the "hId-up" one answered cheer
fully. ''I was on mr wav to a
bafcaar.'"fi'iYoi're first, and there's
an end of it."

and now the discovery of large copper and other ore-deposits In the eastern part of the state
bids well to let Oregon take the lead in industrial: development oi our country. But wait
that'Is hot all. Down In a little ravine in Hubbard, Oregon, Marion county, .flows a eool, spark
