"The Tarantula," the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature to be shown at the Star theatre, on Sunday and Mon day is well named. The title role of the story is played by one of the large spiders which are, so feared in trop ical countries. The disease tarantism has been at- I tributed to this species of the spider although no authentic proof of this fact has ever been secured. Unlike most of his kind, the ta rantula weaves no web in which to ensnare his prey, but seeks it like other larger animals. His home is a hole burrowed in the ground with a silky lining in order to protect him self from being hemmed in by pieces of falling earth. These spiders, which are about the size of a walnut, are the scourge of the countries in which they are found and their bites have been fatal in a great many instances. The poi son glands are concealed in the low er region of the head from where the fifhgs protrude. It is said that the only cure for the bite of a tarantula is dancing or spme similar violent exercise, which will exhaust the victim and cause them to perspire. In this way the poison leaves the system and their chances of recovery Increase accordingly. ed her good Samaritan by treacher ously winning the love of the wom an's husband; by conspiring with the faithless swain to exterminate the wife that the two plotters might share her fortune and live luxuriant ly in their illicit love. When they presumed that they had succeeded and were enjoying their time of tri umph, fate played an uncommon trick-and they were made to pay full penalty. This, in a nutshell, is the story of "The Reward of the Faith less,", to be presented in Bluebird photoplays at the Star theatre on Friday and Saturday with Wedge wood Nowell and Betty Schade play ing the leading characters. The pro duction was created, by Rex Ingram, who also gave to Bluebirds "The Chalice of Sorrow" and "Black Or chids" a brace of photoplays con spicuous for their artistic reflections and photographic beauties. marvelous freaks of nature, and it is invested with a beauty and grandeur that is almost overpowering to the beholder. Crater Lake is big enough to pull travelers around the world to visit it. These tourists scatter money along every trail. But they are not coming as they should. Neither are Oregon doodIo going to the lake as they should. Therefore we suggest that every Oregon Commercial Club or Chamber of Commerce organize a "Crater Lake Club" and immediately sign up members to visit the lake this year by auto or train and stage line. Organ ize parties to go both ways. Every visitor will be glad he made the trip, and glad to boost for Crater Lake in the future. Then follow up the visit by having each person send out at least 100 picture post cards to friends, writing on the card something like the fol lowing: "I was there. Crater Lake is the most marvelous sight in America. Good hotel there now." Will you organize such a club? Will you do it this week? Will you write me about this as soon as possible? I will send yon printed matter about the lake if it will help you. There is a fine hotel there, well managed, at from $2.50 to $4.50 per day American plan. Tent camp fa cilities can be had much cheaper. Special rates will be made for parties. A good auto road runs to the lake, and an auto stage meets trains at Medford and Klamath Falls. The fare for the round trip from Med ford is $12.50. The same from Klam ath. Sincerely yours. MARK WOODRUFF, Assistant Secretary in Charge. Bureau of Publicity and Conventions.
