For The Current Week
Charles Ray’s dramatic .triumph,
“Dynamite Smith,” is a gripping,
thrilling and, picturesque story of a
timid young man who, on his first
adventure in the world of men, en
counters tragedy, love, vengeance,
hate, fear and courage beyond his
wildest dreams. Those who remem
ber Ray’s famous characterizations
of the bashful boy, will rejoice in
“Dynamite Smith.” Those who have
never seen him in such will find
Charles Ray at his superlative best. It
is a part that brings out all the
charm in his personality and the
strength and depth of his talent.
“The Reckless Age” tells the story
of the hilarious difficulties of a
young nobleman who takes out in
surance against a blighted romance.
The insurance agent assigned to see
that the projected marriage goes
through, adds further complications
by falling in love with the girl him
self. Reginald Denny plays the a-
gent, and is surrounded by a big
cast of standard artists. Ruth Dwyer,
one of filmdom’s popular beauties,
who played opposite Herbert Rawlin
son in three of his best pictures, is
the girl, and Hayden Stevenson, who
played his manager in “The Leather
Pushers,” William Austin, and others
who appear in its swift action are:
John Steppling, Tom McGuire, Fred
Malatesta, Frank Leigh, May Wal
lace and Wjjliam Austin.
C. E. Johnson and family motored
to Portland last Friday, returning on
Sunday. Mr. Johnson said it rained
all the way down, only part of the
way home, and all the time they
were in Portland. He said that some
of the things that are wished for at
J^ome »re not always appreciated a-
wiiy from borne. They were accom
panied as far as Hood River by Mrs.
A. S. Johnson.
Floyd Flatt broke a universal
joint and part of the transmission
case on his Ford truck last Friday
when leaving the Jesse Martin farm
with a load of hogs he was trucking
into Moro. The truck was unloaded
and towed into town with his Ford
car. His usual weekly Sunday trip
to Portland was delayed by the ac
cident and when made was by means
of the Ford car and trailer.
