American

When rvui;!as Fairbanks began the
film ire of "IPs Majesty, the American,'
savs the maraccment of the Star thea
ter, where the big picture will be run
Saturday. April he broke away from
every pvduc t!on tradition that he
knew This row film was to be Poug
las Fairbanks first release through
Vnited Artists Corporation the "Big
Four" and inasmuch as it was to be
hh bow as a genuine Independent pro
ducer and distributor, "Doug" took the
"lid off the cash box.
From every standpoint of produc
tionsettings, atmosphere, players and
mechanical equipment "His Majesty.
the American' is reported to outshine
anything that Mr. Fairbanks has here
tofore attempted.
The story which was prepared by
Joseph Henaberry, Mr. Fairbanks' dl-
ector. with the assistance of Elton
Banks, was worked over for eight
weeks. It deals with the adventures of
a young New Yorker who lives on ex-
tement. His unquenchable thirst for
new thrills, leads him across two con
tinents and the settings ncessary for
the portrayal of the story have cost
a tidy fortune.
A Mexican village was built In the
hills surrounding the Fairbanks' st'id-
los in Hollywood. In another place a
omplete French town was constructed
and in another section of the studio
a Xew Tork tenement street was erect-
ted. A French railway line was need
ed so one 1 500 feet long and of stand
ard continental design was laid, the
carriages being the exact duplicate of
the type in use abroad.
The Interiors, like the exteriors, are
said to be a revelation, both as to mag
nitude and beauty. Although the new
stage of the Fairbanks' studios is
among the largest ever built It was not
large enough for a tremendous interior
of a palace. So one end of the gigan
tic stage was removed and 60 feet of
flooring added to give the proper pro
portion to this beautiful and imposing
scene. From the back of the main floor
to the cameras measured 330 feet which
makes this probably the largest Inter
ior ever used in a motion picture.
Supporting Mr. Fairbanks are many
film and stage favorites including Mar
jorie Paw. Frank Campeau. Sam Soth
ern. famous New York and London ac
tor and brother of E. H. Sothern, Lil
lian Langdon. Jay Dwiggins, "Bull"
Montana, Albert McQuarrie, Will Gillis
and Phil Gastrox.

The class has calculated that at 8:57
o'clock the moon will begin to enter the
outer shadow of the earth, but it will
not begin to pass Into the real shadow
or umhta until 10:03 o'clock. At that
time, the shadow will begin to show
on the rim of the moon, and will slowly
advance across the moon s face until at
11:23 the moon will be completely with
in the ul.adow, or the eclipse will be
total. Until 12:0r.. the moon will re
main totally eclipsed. Then the bright
rim will slowly become visible on the
side of the moon first eclipsed, and
by J: o'clock the moon will have com
pletely emerged from the shadow or
umbra, but It will be within the fainter
shadow of penumbra until 2:32, and so
will not regain lis normal brightness
until that time.
"The Girl from Nowhere"
Is One of Season's Novelties
"The Girl from Nowhere," which Is
to be the main offering at the Star
theater next Monday and Tuesday is
one of the season's novelties. The
beautiful Cleo Madison and the dis
tinguished actor, Wilfred Lucas, are
the featured players.
The scenic background of this pic
ture is set In the majestic and rugged
mountains of the northwest.
Here amid all this beauty of the
threat outdoors is enacted an unique
irama of many startling and unique
thrills. Under the sombre shadows of
the mountains a beautiful young wo
man is found wandering alone and be
reft of her memory. Excitement, sus
I'ense. mystery and the supreme ques
tion as to who she is fill the five reels
in which The Girl from Nowhere is pre
sented with interest of the most grip
ping nature.
The climax of the story is reached
when the villainous Klondyke Jim, who
has forced the helpless girl to the mar
riage altar against her will, is un
masked and made to pay for his wrong
doing. This picture contains what is
perhaps the most impressive and dram
atic surprise of any photoplay of the
year. The action leads up to a point
where it seems that heaven itself must
intervene to save the beautiful girl
from the arms of the bestial brute she
is about to marry. The climax is as
astounding as it is unexpected.
TRAVEL PICTURES FOR POSTS
Films Embracing One Thousand Top
ics, for Use of All Legion
Organizations.
By arrangement between the Amer
ican Legion and the bureau of com
mercial economics, the most complete
and valuable collection of educational
and travel motion picture films In ex
istence will be placed at the disposal
of the Legion for free exhibition un
der the auspices of all posts. The
films, which embrace 1,000 separate
topics, are the property of the bureau,
an altruistic Institution the sole aim
of which is to advance education and
pride In American institutions.
At the Instance of national head
quarters, the bureau has prepared a
special catalogue In which each film
Is numbered and described. A copy
of this catalogue will become the prop
erty of each Legion post. The only
expense attached to posts ordering the
films will be the payment of express
charges to and from the ve:.rest dis
tributing center of the bureau. No ad
mission fee may be chafed by the
post.
A distributing center for the films
will be established in almost every
state. ResihiiisiMlltv for the trans-
Isslon of the catalogues and the In
formation concerning the location of
istrihnthiL renter to which pitch
post must apply for films, rests with
the state departments.
The storv of the establishment of
the bureau of commercial economics
Is that of a fulfillment of a vow which
a blind man took years ago, should his
sigiit be restored. Ir. Francis Hol
ey, the founder and director of the
bureau, vowed to work for the bet
terment nt miml-ln,! when he rrt'OV-
etvd his sight, and the brucau is the
result.

fllINK what would happen if the Light and Pow
er Company which supplies your community
with electricity suddenly ceased to operate!
The motor-driven machinery in busy factories
would come to a standstill. The many little power-driven
contrivances which add to the convenience of your shop
or home would lie useless. Even the lights by winch
you work and play would be snuffed out.
Yet the great sendee rendered by the Light and Pow
er Company is too often forgotten. It has become so
much a part of our everyday life that it is taken for grant
ed. Only on the rare occasions when something goes
wrong does the Light and Power Company receive even a
passing thought; ami that thought is perforce a damning
one.
In the light of actual facts, the Light and Power Com
pany takes on an entirely different aspect. Its welfare
and the welfare of the community as a whole are one and
inseparable. The extent and character of the service it
renders influences to a considerable degree the establish
ment of new industries. And the more widely that ser
vice is used, the cleaner and brighter the community will
become, for electrical power is clean power. Literary

Our Standard MusT:
Be Maintained
Through a period extending over several years, the Mor
row County Creamery Company has been laboring to place its
product on the market of Heppner and cities of the adjoining
territory. We are now pleased with the progress made, and
can say that the entire product, practically, of the Creamery
is going into the hands of the local merchants and to groceries
and general stores in a number of the neighboring commun
itiee. Our Attn Is to Keep Up the Standard
of Our Product
In order to do this, we must have pure, fresh cream that
tests up to the standard in butter fat. We are gratified to state
that in a very large measure we are receiving this consideration
at the hands of producers. We do not desire to turn down
any offerings, yet to maintain the standard set, we will be
compelled to do so. We should not be expected to buy small
offerings of cream that have been so long in accumulation that
the product has become rancid and is unfit for no other use
than to be poured into the gutter; hence we must refuse to
take such offerings in the future, purely as a matter of justice
to ourselves and to our customers, who have the right to de
mand of us the best product we can turn out.
This announcement will no doubt be received in the spirit
in which it is offered; we desire to get all the good, clean
butterfat that is produced in this territory and at all times will
pay the very highest market price for same. Please help us
to maintain our standard of excellence.
