Laugh Replaces
Villainy In Film
"McFadd.n'a Flat" Haa No "Heavy"
But Haa a Load af Fun
Instead
Attention of the man who declar
ed that ao successful play could be
constructed without a villion is re
spectfully called to "McFadden's
Flats,'.' to be shown at Legion hall
Sunday night.
While more laughs, numerous
ungual and side-splitting situations i
have been added to the orginal aUgei
play in order to fit it for the screen,
it is as much without the usual
"heavy" work of the ordinary play
as when it first was produced.
"The substitution of many laughs
must have made up for the lack of
vlllany," said Edward Small, who
produced the comedy for First Na
tion Picture.". "Newer productions
are proving that audiences, the
world over, love to laugh and that
they don't, mind if the usual rules
of production are overlooked in the
finding of those laughs. Successful
entertainments of the future wifl
run more to humor than sobs, and
money will be expended for ides,
rather than lavish settings."
Vi.itcd With Husband
Mrs. J. I F.lwood came over from
The Dalles on Tuesday and visited

that the itreet wll be better mproved

Mayor Henncghan and Councilman
Richmond got busy and yesterdny
cleaned the street clear to the
curbs. As soon as the road oiling
gang gets here the street will be oil

a coat of gravel will be spread. Thr

growth of weeds along the curb and
at the same time give a better aspect
to the street.

Safeguarding Matrimony
"They tell me there are 26,000 000
home-makers in America today.
Each wolnan is responsible for three
meals a day, 365 days in the year,

I figured it up roughly the other
day and it amounts to some well
over one trillion meals."
If this woman's testimony is to be
taken at its face value, commercial
canning is. amonj other things, a
safeguard to matrimony. .

MOTION TO DEDICATE
BRIDGE RECEIVES
n
Many people Say Celebration of ,
Bridge Completion SbouU
Be A rr an gad
i Last week thi - paper suggested '
that a celebration of the completion
of the finest bridge in eastern Ore-,
ton, that at Maupin over the De
hutes, ahould be marked by a cele- ,
'iration. Since that paper was out
many people of this section have
seconded our motion, and many are ;
n harty favor of fittingly marking -he
completion of the structure.
The contractors lay the bridge
vill be ready for traffic about the
5th of June, they now being en
aged in spreading the final layer 1
f concrete on the roadway. It Is
xpected that state highway depart-
lent will have completed the ap- ,
roaches by the above date. Then
ould be the proper time to hold
'. celebration, and to that end we
'gain suggest that the city council !
ake the matter up and prosecute it
'o a successful termination. The
Crooked river bridge dedication
tarked a precedent and we believe
tme should be followed in toe in- i
dance of our bridge. : '
Let's get busy and arrange that
prominent men of the state be pre-
nt and fittingly dedicate the new'
bridge. By so doing w would again
tamp Maupin a little more promW-i
ent on the highway map of the f
tate and at the same' time enjoy ,
he presence of notables who have
elped make our extensive, highway
irogram one of the finest in the
'ountry. Speak u and let us hear
?our sentiments, fellow citizens.
