As the cigar store's small profits did not justify the employment of a clerk, she was at the store with him much of the time. At first she did only his small amount of bookkeeping, brought his lunch and ran errands. She did not dislike the work, but as he began to stay home a few days out of the week, the group of lodge brethern who had made the He may even see himself upon cigar store a meeting place be- the screen because in these 6cenes gan to drift away. The profits fell appear dozens of old "sour doughs" some who made for tunes in the north and lost them, and some who made nothing and who worked In the picture to get a stake to go back and continue their search for gold. If he doesn't see himself he may see some actor made up to look like him, because these act ors were made up to represent the miners shown in actual photo graphs where they are seen. idling away their hours .of pleasure In the notorious resort. Some of the gaming tables in the picture were operated by the men who dealt over the green cloth at Monte Carlo. Some asked fpr .work when- they didn't need ftbut wanted to be in the picture for old times' sake. Others are seen In this sequence because they are old and broke and have to fall back on extra work In the movies In order to eke out a pre carious living. The scene shows hundreds of miners,- dozens of gamblers, doz ens of dancing girls and the inte rior of the setting can't be told from the real Monte Carlo of Dawson City. The production Is based on the Robert W. Service story and the leads are played by Ralph Forbes. Dolores Del Rio and Harry Carey. Two Fatalities From Industrial Mishaps in Week There were two fatalities due to industrial accidents in Oregon temperament. "Autumn Fire" is!dur,n thG week ending January off to such an extent that sh could not ask him for money to resume her dancing lessons at Selikoff's winter school. Assisted by Doc, she danced at three other entertainments. The reaction of the young men who at tended was instant. She was crowded with engagements, going every night to some party or dance with Doc, the irrepressible Harry Ford, or Andy Adair. She had not intended to go out with Andy again because he had drunk too much at the fraternity party, from which Harry Ford had to bring her home. But Andy passed the matter over as a small conse quence, telling her any man was apt to be taken unexpectedly tight. One night he came in his big car to take her for a long ride in the country. Making the excuse of stopping to light a cigarette, he talked to her about how pretty she had become. "You are bloseoaaing out like a rose; - Betty! " he said. ; "I wonder if I am any different from what I waa, or do you just imagine it?" "I see a lot more of you since you have been dancing! he laughed. "You are seeing a lot more of me because I have been dancing," she retorted. "Oh. well, since you've been still universally human In its theme and. like all fundamental human themes, essentially tragic in its character.

Owen Keegan. the central figure in the drama, is a character that might have been written by the playwright with Moroni Olsen In mind as the actor to create the character on the stage. Keegan is the clean, strong, vigorous product of the Irish soil, proud of his great strength and virility which makes him, even in his late middle age the equal of the young er men of the community in feats of strength and skill and leader ship. The play Is lyric with the charming turns of Irish dialect and the simple beauty of prim itive folk ways and it builds it self through the three acts with the beauty and balance of a poem. 31. according to a report pre pared by the state industrial ac cident commission Friday.

"But since I have been dancing dozens of boys want to make engagements with me who never noticed me be fore." "Don't you know that girls who dance in public are supposed to be naughty, and that naughty firls appear most to men?" "I don't want to be thought naughty, whatever that means." "The word means different things to different people." H laughed as he spoke. "What does It mean to you?" she demanded. "You'd be surprised!" "Then surprise me. I want to know." "Wonder If it would surprise you if I kissed yau? I'm going to!" "No!" She pushed him away. "I want to know Just how you think of me." "Ah! She wants to know that my intentions are honorable!" He laughed again. "Aw. Betty, don't be a crab! It's a nice night, with a pretty moon I arranged espe cially for you. We're out in the country with nobody but the crick ets, and you want to talk about serious things. Forget it and be happy!" He reached over to put his arm around her, drawing her closer to him. She pulled away at first, then yielded herself to his .arms. He kissed her gently and laid his cheek against hers. She snuggled happily into his collar, feeling that perhaps he was right; happi ness for the moment was the only thing worth considering. He turned her face up to the moon and kissed her again, a long passionate kiss, to which she re sponded with warmth. She felt his other hand drop to her knee. This startled her for the moment, but It seemed an accident." As he kiss ejd her again, still more passlon- aiejy, ms nana lurnea over, ana he gave her knee a squeeze. ' She Jerked herself away, push ing him at the same time until they sat in opposite coiners of the seat. "If you think I am a naughty girl because I dance you have an other guess coming!" she cried hidignantly. "You misunderstood me!" he pleaded. "I understand you perfectly. Understanding you, I think we better go home." "Not yet!" he answered. "I In sist you listen a minute. How can a fellow find out about a girl if he does not inevstigate?" "Well, you can end your inves-'asked George. ligations right now! ? prude, but I have my ldeas right and wrong. Caressing my knee is a Tiolation of my princi ples." , , "Don't get sore at me.

'Vmi ha a very pretty an dvery smair mouth, and its words don't fit mine!" She realized he would laugh this off. Just as he had. the fact that he was too tight to take her home from the fraternity party. She resented it. but felt helpless. It was difficult to stay angry with him.-.. "Oh. well, let's go home," she sigherl. ;'The party has gone floolo anyway.

"A uecker Is a girl who kisses and hugs and that's all." "And a petter?" "The word 'pet' is almost a syn onym for 'pat,' I was patting you on the knee Just now, you know." "I think I understand.
