heart trouble at his home at El Do

who left here for El Dorado last Wed

which Is expected to be next Mon

moved away from here some time
ago attar their residence In Medford
of a year, they still owned their bun
galcd on South Orange St.. at the
time of his death. '
' Captain and Mrs. Riley on April
llth last, celebrated their fifty-fifth
wedding anniversary in a quiet man
ner because both were recovering at
that time from a grippe attack, ar.d
felt unequal to entertaining or being
entertained. For years previous they
either entertained or were entertain
ed as honored guests at each anni
versary of their wedding.
Captain Riley served, throughout
the Civil war as captain and lieu
tenant. He had served during the
past 12 years as an officer of the G.
A. R. post of El Dorado, and at the
time of his death held the double of
fice of adjutant and quartermaster
of the post. Mrs. Riley has served
It terms as president of the El Do
rado W. II. C and both were con
spicuous in all the patriotic events in
that community for the past fifty
years. Captain Riley is survived by
four children, eight grandchildren,
and four great grandchildren, be

W. A. Selwood, for several years a
special worker for the Y. M. C. A. In
Russia and the Far East countries,
will show a set of real moving pictures
Sunday night at the Phoenix church
at 7:30. No admission but a special
offering will be taken.
Mr. Elwood has had a wide exper
ience in ramine roller work In those
countries and these pictures show
actual scenes and incidents which
have taken place in Russia and the
Far East during and since the war.
and during the recent famine.
Every American who loves his conn
try and his fellow men and wishes to
know America's relation to these dis
tressed countries of4Europe should be
present Sunday night and see these
pictures and hear Mr. Selwood's address.
Harold Lloyd at Page
Little more than a year a so Harold
Lloyd made his first appearance in a
photoplay comedy o( two-reel length.
It was "Humping Into Broadway." and
so unanimous was the praise of the
critics and the public, that this picture-
placed the be-goggled comedian in
first class and a dnnKerotia contender
for honor place.
Now Harold Lloyd Is hailed as the
screen's greatest 'comedian. He has
won praise that no other laugh-maker
has received his fun has never had
the word vulgar applied to It. Friends
that others have failed to make, Har
old Lloyd has easily won with his
clean, wholesome Inimor. .
"Now or Never," Harold Lloyd's
neweat photoplay, marks a new epoch
in the young man's interesting career.
Also, It is a three-reel comedy. Three
reels does not mean that the laughs
are spread farther apart, but that
there Is more room Into which to
crowd them.
The Page theatre considers that it
is doing a great public good In present
ing "Now or Never" on Its screen to
day, tomorrow and Monday, for every
laugh at Lloyd makes health and hap
piness, and it would take a funometer
to record the laughs in "Now or
Never."
