The Redewill Music company donated

Art Rick held the crowd "at bay"
for almost an hour while he auctioned
off a fine old turkey gobbler whose ex
act age was not given by Mrs. Charles
Sterling of the Osborn district, who
donated him to the cause. Gobler ar
rived in a plate and was placed on
the orchestra truck and the "sale"
started, when he was knocked down to
T. A. Catkins for $lo. Mr. Calkins
said "sell him again" and then the
greatest sale of a Jurkey, old or young,
in local history was on in earnest.
A Great Turkey Sale
That turkey was turned over, finan
cially speaking, aJmost as fast as he
could gobble. Art Rick warmed to the
occasion and the money rolled in. The
turkey brought, all told, $146 In cash,
the auctioneer refusing to accept
checks for "such a valuable bird." Aft
er the Calkins purchase were those of
Phil Schnell for $10, Mrs. Skidmore
for $7.50, two at the same time at $10
each to Col. J. E. Thompson and Sen
ator C. M. Stoddard, to Senator H. B.
Wilkinson for $5, to J. A. Taylor for
$10, to an unknown man for $10 to

Batchelder for $5 each, to Frank Bal-
lany for $3, to an unknown man for
$2; and then, as the price advanced,
to Ben Rice for $15, to Tom Dunbar
for $10, to McCullough of McCulIough
Bros., for $6.
The Kiwanls club cut short its own
weekly noon lunch meeting and at
tended In a body, marching with ban
ner from the T. M. C. A. down the
middle of the street. They cheered and
yelled and the crowd joined them un
til the loud voice of Art Rick, which
by this time was resembling a fog
horn in distress, called their attention
to the "sale" of the gobbler, and they
paid "just and loving tribute" in cash.
That wonderful turkey that saved the
lives of about 15 children at $10 each
was not permitted to go to any of the
"buyers." Instead, when the sale came
to an end it was decided that he be
sent to the detention home as a gift
to the children there. These children
gave 5 cents each to the European
Relief council fund at the beginning
of the campaign.
Beside the $1,551.10 derived from the
lunch, Arizona headquarters of the

FRED BARLOW, Director
"William S. Hart begins his engage
ment at the Strand today in the much
heralded Paramount 'photoplay, "The
Cradle of Courage." More than ordi
nary interest is attached to this pro
duction from the fact that it is a
story of the undedworld of San Fran
cisco, about which the newspapers or
the country have been filled recently,
the escapades of the habitues of t'T?
famed portion of the city by the Gol
den Gate having taken the most seri
ous turn In years.
"The Cradle of Courage" takes for
Its central character a notorious fellow,
known to his pals as "Square Kelly,"
but to the police as the most clever
crook in Frisco. This role is inter
preted by William S. Hart in a man
ner that stamps him not only as an
artist of wide versatility, for ; as the
story gets under way Hart is called
upon to do some of the finest work he
has ever done for the silent drama.
Unlike his former pictures. Hart this
time is seen in the portrayal of an of
ficer of the law. From crook to man
hunter is the experience of "Square
Kelly," his story unfolding with the
strangeness which marked the actual
career of the famed "Monk Eastman."
the renowned New York gangster who
was killed recently.
Laid in San Francisco, the story is
said to present what might be termed
a "personally conducted tour" of that
citv. with a member of the fcan FTan-
cisco police department as the guide.
The production finds sucn talent as
Thomas Santschi, Ann Little, Gertrude
Claire and George Wililams in sup
port of the star.
Columbia
The popularity of Eugene O'Brien
grows apace with each succeeding pro
duction ,and it is expected that his new
picture, "The Wonderful Chance,"
which will be shown at Maurs Co
lumbia theater today and, tonight, will
delight the fans who have long consid
ered this star their favorite screen
player.
In "The wonderful Chance" O Brien
is seen as "Swagger" Barlow, a gen
tleman crook, a character somewhat
reminiscent of Jimmy Valentine, al
though this II. H. Van Loan story is
along entirely different lines.
The picture opens with Barlow te
ing released from Sing Sing, resolved
to go straight. To save the life of a
pal he . tackles one more "Job." He
gets away with it, but is practically
forced into another adventure which
to him appears to be "the wonderful
chance." Just what the chance is and
what it developed forms the basis of
the plot of one of the best pictures
Eugene O'Brien has ever had.
In the cast will be found such prom
inent players as Martha Mansfield,
Ida Darling, Warren Cook, Joe Flana
gan, Tom Blake and others.

There is no sign of abatement in
the interest manifested by vaudevtlle

In Using Long Distance
In placing a call to a distant point, thought should be taken of
the convenience of the person called, and of others who wish to
use the line.
It isn't a kind act to place a long-distance call and then leave
your telephone before connection is made with the distant person.
For instance, you place a call for a busy man in Busyville. Then'
you leave your office. Meanwhile, the Busyville man is called, he
answers, the operator rings your telephone and there is no re
sponse, or she is told you have stepped out. It is not only annoy
ing to the person called, but others who are waiting have been de
layed in securing the circuit.
If you MUST leave the telephone before the call has been com
' pleted, please notify "Long Distance" at what telephone you can
be called. This will prevent inconvenience to the person called
and will conserve the use of long-distance facilities.'
Each subscriber is an essential factor in good telephone service,
and we will greatly appreciate during this year, as in the past,
your doing your part in the use of your telephone, and your
friendly attitude toward our efforts to make the service the best
possible.
