M." which deals with Chaplin's adventures in tin home of a bachelor friend whose, hob by is collecting stuffed, animals, in it self is excrucitingly funny, but when combined witli the are of the comedy star it becomes a sontinuous laugh. Charles, according to the story, re turns home at an early morning hour after an evening of celebration, in which' water was not the principal liq uid consumed. After an altcrcntion with a taxi chauffeur over the charge, and after numerous disastrous at tempts to get out of the cab, he dis covers, he has left the key to tne house in another pocket and climbs into the house through a window, fin setting a bowl of gold fish on the the way. - .

RAMONA WAS APPRECIATED BY LARGE AUDIENCE Story of California Mission Life Beautiful Thing ' As Shown. A large audience last night, at the Globe, was greatly pleased with the presentation of Ramona, a splendid film offering of Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson's story of early life among the California Mission Indians. Her story was based on investigations made by her in the interest of the government, woven into a story of remarkable power and interest, in which the treatment of the Indian is layed bare in a vivid manner, one to excite the indignation of those who see the production. The scenes are wonderfully realistic. One shows the burning of an Indian village and oth ers, mountain, valley and ocean views, many with mission settings in keep ing with the pretty story, which grips one all the way thru. The characters are all taken with splendid effect, well selected for the play. Ramona is seen as a baby, then as a four year old girl and then as a woman. Little Ann Lehr represents the four year old girl pari in a re markable manner. She is a beautiful child and a marvel for her age. Miss Adda Gleason as the heroine of the story, has a splendid makeup for the cast, and gets into the hearts of the audience as she runs along with the narrative, an actress of rare talent, well supported. , ..- With the film story it an organ ac companiment, by an expert, which seems to just fit the spirit of the story, making wonderfully effective the narration. Ramona was given again this af ternoon and will be presented for the last time tonight. It is certainly a film treat, without an objectionable feature "SPORTING BL000" IS ' - FOUNDED UPON FACTS the sio of "Sporting !Hcri aliirl. comes to the Rolfe Friday, is founded on fact. Bertram Bracken, William Fox director, who wrote the stor.v. savs that the incidents he gives in the film are largely taken from actual experiences he has had or heard of. "My father owned a stable in Tex as." Mr. Bracken said, "and he had some of the best racers of the state. Naturally I grew up with, a great love of horses, and a knowledge of them that not many persons have. That in terest' rfiade the writing of a race story especially fascinating." Director Bracken has made tne tnrio of, horses one of his pet avoca tions.' ffe knows the racing laws of Europe and the various United States lour, backwards, and he can tell you just how much moilcv was won and lost at the last English Derby. "There has always been a great deal of superstition about racc-im.-kt." Director Bracken said. "I sup pose it's the same with every gambl ing device, superstition is supreme. "I niiee knew a man who had the habit of betting -always on the first horse he saw when he arrived at tne race course, or on the horse ridden hy the first jockey he saw. He called it a 'system,' but it amounted to lit tle more than a hobby. He lost just as consistently that way as he could have in any other way. "I knew another man who would always turn down the cuffs of his trousers when he went to a race track, and would not turn them up again until after the event. The strange part of it was that he often wot., though 1 dent know v.1 ether it was the 'sy; tern' oi hia own judgment -I-al helped bim nil tig .

ROUND UP EVENTS People who saw the round-up itself will be specially interested in seeing the pictures of the event, as shown at the Globe tomorrow and Saturday, afternoon and evening. The writer saw the thousand foot film run thru this morning, and unhesitatingly can speak for the merit of the pictures. The scenes are well distributed, show ing in a remarkable manner the dif ferent performances, as taken thru the three days, relay races, pony ex press race, fancy riding, fancy rope "manipulation, bull dogging, steer rop ing, many bucking scenes, etc. A re markable picture is one in which the rider was thrown directly in front of the operator of the machine, strik ing in a sitting position with his num ber 23 very conspicuous. A couple of flash scenes of the grand stand showed some faces very plainly, among them 1 being noticed that of Dr. W. v A. Cox, with his mouth wide open, as he took in the performance. The writer has seen the different Pendleton pictures, and considers these ahead of any of them, shown al better positions in more striking sit uations. With the pictures, preceding them is expressed what they will be making it easy to keep track of the events. Liner Helpless. Portsmouth, Oct. 19.

TWO DAYS OF BIB ENTERTAINMENT AT DLOBE Besides the . Fine Films Great , Fashion Show With Some ' . Unique Features. .... Some Local Girla Who Will - Take Part in Fashion Revue Marion Anderson Eleanor Bruce. . Linnie Connor. Lucille Snyder. 9 Albany is already getting behind favorites in the contest to be held at the Globe theatre for the most popular young society girl who will take part in the big spectacular Fashion Revue. There will be at least five local young ladies who will take part in this splen did production on Manager Conrad Meyer's big quadruple bill. Each one of the five girls has hun dreds of friends who will back her to the limit The most popular young la dy will be elected by voting and ev ery ticket of admission gives a vote. The local talent was rehearsed yes terday and will be rehearsed several times in order to make the act an ar tistic success, ut course, tne local talent is but a supplement to. the pro fessional models carried by the act. The professional models are here and assisting with the rehearsals. This act was staged in towns turtner soutn with local talent to augment the pro- fesional talent and several newspapers have commented on the fact that Manager Allen trained the local girls so well that they made as good a stage appearance as the professional talent. And the press have united in declaring this Style Revue act as one of the best attractions that has' played he smaller cities on the coast for some time. And the men don t forget the men models. "Just to make a background" is the way that Director Allen explains their presence, but tolks who have Seen this new act in other cities claim that the men mo'dels add materially to the act. Tongues are wagging today over the matinee for- women only that will be staged Friday afternoon. Every wo man loves beautiful lingerie more than she will admit to the men folks and the women of Albany will see a magnificent showing of beautiful. dainty and bewitching lingerie, kimon os, dressing gowns, and the hundred and one intimate articles of apparel that are so dear to the feminine heart. This idea of a matinee for womin only is new. It has been attempted but once before in the state of Ore gon and was a pronounced and decid ed success. The matinee is clean wholesome and entertaining. There is nothing that would offend the most fastidious; yet it is a show that is dif ficult to show to a mixed audience. The curtains ring up on a bed room scene with the model asleep. She arises and displays several night gowns and pajamas, changing into other articles of women's underwear and finally continuing dressing' until she is completely attired in evening gown. - Another feature of the big qbardu ple show will be the Albaaiy .round up movies, mentioned elsewhere. Then there will be the big sensation al feature film "Sold for Marriage," with Lillian Gisli as thestar. "Sold for Marriage" is one of the strongest film releases of months and has enjoyed unprecedented runs in all of the big cities. Fatty Arbuckle will be on the bill too. with a comedy that will make yon forget your troubles and worries. the show wilt take nearly three hours and every minute will be filled to overflowing with real amusing en tertainment. "It is the best show of the season declared Manager Conrad Meyers of the Globe and that should be enough for anyone. . -o ... To Visit in Portland Mrs. Conrad Meyer will leave to morrow for Oregon City where she will visit her mother. She will also take her two children, Katherine and Robert, o MRS. KENT OF CALIFORNIA , CAMPAIGNING FOR HUGHES Mrs. William Kent, of California, spoke last night at the library audi torium to an audience of thirty, and this morning in the Oregonian to a.n audience of several thousand times as many, which is her, mission. Os- tensibly for woman suffrage she is making a campaign for Hughes, who did not register and vote for six years."' ' ,. ' She charged the president with blocking woman suffrage legislation and said Mr. Hughes favored national woman suffrage, j " . Mrs. Kent is said to be a good talk er, a woman of good address, who certainly has a big job on her hands down in her home state. . WILSON GIVEN GREAT OVATION IN INDIANA Thousands Out, With Roofs and Balconies Covered With People to See President. (By United Press) South Bend, Oct. 19. Eight thous and greeted President Wilson today. L-niiaren waved flags. Automobile factory employees lined the tracks and stood on roofs and balconies. The train was an hour late. Rain fell. Mr. Wilson: t have forgotten how to make campaign speeches. The rec ord is made up. If I made a speech 1 a have to tell you what I think of myself. The cordial receptions are de lightful. I thank you from the bottom of my heart." . . Chicago, Oct. 19. President Wil son arrived this afternoon and was met by enormous crowds. Thousands lined the streets and blocked the pro cession.

The spark lever works just opposite from the former car he own ed and he set it the wrong way. Then he gave the crank a twist. The mag neto fired too soon, the handle flew back and gave Mr. Pirtle's arm and thumb an awful jerk. The thumb am' wrist bones were dislocated and now the good rizht arm of the genial hos at the St. Charles is done up in a slin and splints. M. A. MILLER GIVES VIEWS IN A PASSING INTERVIEW Hon. M. A. Miller, one of Linn county's; best known citizens, passed thru the city .today-for , Halsey, .where he will speak tonight, tomorrow night at Brownsville and Monday night at Scio. He was considerably in terested in the recent golden special train, which he declared is helping to cinch the state for Wilson. He said: "This train is made up of the heir esses of great wealth. They are the wives and daughters of the financial kings of Wall street. They are the leaders of New York's Four Hun dred. They came into Oregon to tell the good women how to vote. Would it not be well for them to first use their influence in the state of New York, that they may obtain the privi leges already enjoyed by the women of Oregon? These women are not familiar with conditions here. It seems almost ridiculous for these women supported by the uppercrust of east ern society, and backed by the wealtn secured through special privilege, to undertake to instruct and enlighten the good women' of this fair state on the Dolitical questions of the day. Why should these women of wealth, reared in the lap of luxury, surrouno- ed bv every advantage which money can buy, send a special train of speak ers to instruct the pioneer women ot Oregon, the mothers and the descend ants of those who braved the dangers of the wilderness, fought Indians. swam streams, climbed mountains and established civilization in the west. "I remember two years ago that the representatives of the congres sional union came into Oregon using their influence against the re-election of George . E. Chamberlain in the United States senate. Mr. Chamber lain was re-elected by 26,000 majority and it looks as though Wilson wilt carrv this state by 46,000. "Look at the personnel of those financing the Golden Special. Mrs. W. H. Crocker, widow of the iauior nia railroad king. Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, mother of William Randolph Hearst, who owns 10.000.000 acres of land in Mexico, wants the president to send our boys into Mexicd to enhance the value of his holdings. Mrs. Belmont, wife of a man who is the representa tive of the Rothchilds in Europe, who, too, holds large holdings in Mexico. Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, who is re ported to be raising a million dollars, to defeat Woodrow Wilson, the great champion of human rights and peace on earth, good will to men. "I predict that the recent trip of the Golden Special will prove a boome rang, and that a great majority of the good women of Oregon will cast their votes for the great prince of peace. Woodrow Wilson." - SERBIANS TAKE BULGARIAN GUY The French Advance South of Somme and Progress To wards Pronne. , ROUMANIANS REPORT DEFEAT OF TEUTONS Germans Claim That Progress Made By Allie3 Was at Cost of Heavy Losses. - (By United Press) Bucharest, Oct. 19.
