EX-PRESIDENT OF
COSTA RICA HELD
IN LIBEL ACTION
lis Accused by American With
Publishing False Letter
on Revolution •
By Attoeiaiti Prut.
Www York. Oct. 11. —Alfredo Oonza
hi, former president of Costa Rica, I*
under arreat here in connection with
llbol action to recover $258,000
brought by Lincoln O. Valontlno, who
it aald to own valuable properties and
other Central American countries. Mr.
Gonzalez, It was said, was preparing
-to sail on the steamship Tlvlvlas for
his native country, where his political
party had regained "Its power lost In
1917.
In the. action for libel, Mr. Valcn
itlae. a nephew of Washington S. Val
entine, "king of the Honduras," who
ihas constructed railroads in Central
[America, charges the former Costa
ißican president with writing and pub
lishing a letter and articles In which
Jhe held Mr. Valentine and other
i American citizens responsible for the
1 revolutionary movement that result
ed In his downfall and the placing of
IPederico Tinoco at the head of the
Igovernment. ,
The complaint related that the Sen
ate committee had recommended that
[President Tinoco be recognized by the
United States despite Gonzalez's ef
forts. but that the State Department
;had declined to do so.
Mr. Valentine declared he had sev
ieral narrow escapes from death while
in Costa Rica when publication of the
lalleged false statement was made that
he had supported the revolution. As a
(result, he added, he was compelled to
flee the country, abandoning a valu
jahle rice farm and options on oil and
other properties.
Ball was placed at $25,000 and the
former president telephoned to friends
to furnish it.

How Fat Actress
Was Made Slim
Many stage people now depend en
tirely upon Marmola Prescription
Tablets for reducing and controlling
fat. One clever actress tells that she
reduced two to four pounds a week
by using this new form of the famous
Marmola Prescription and now, by
taking Marmola Tablets several times
a year, keeps her weight just right.
All druggists sell Marmola Prescrip
tion Tablets at sl. for a large case.
Or you can get them by sending
price direct to the Marmola Co., 564
Woodward Ave., Detroit, Mich. If
you have not tried them do so. They
are harmless and effective.

As actor, as dramatist, and now as actor-manager, the career of Leo
Ditrichstein has always been distinguished by sincerity, ideals, and a high
standard of perfection. He offers good plays, the best of acting, and
splendid productions. All these will be in evidence when- Mr. Ditrichstein
comes to the Orpheum Theater to present two new plays. On Tuesday,
October 14th, he will be seen in the remarkable character draiwing of "The
Marquis de Priola" and on Wednesday, October 15th, matinee and evening,
he will offer the delightful theatrical comedy, "The Matinee Hero."
HOW A TORNADO IS MADE
IN THE MOVIES !
Those who see the wonderful wind
storm in "A Man s Fight" are liable
to wonder how It was done. This
wind storm which is causing so much
conjecture because of its realism
starts with eddying gusts. The pa- :
pers on the office tables are blown |
about. There is a rush to close win- |
dows.
Outside in a Western street the |
wind grows in power. A "drunk"]
ambling along is blown off his feet;;
a Chink laundryman has the family
wash blown out of his basket; a jug
and other articles on display in front
of tho general store are picked up
and dance blithesomely away before
the power of the wind.
And then "the heavy," seeking
refuge from the blast near a brick
chimney is mortelly injured when the
chimney falls upon him. It is all
very realistic and very wonderful.
The wind is raised in this particu
lar instance by two giant aeroplane
propellers anchored gasoline en
gines and all on wheels, just outside
the range of the camera on either
side of it, in fact. At a given signal
the engines are started, the charac
ters perform before it in a cloud of
dust, the artificial trees bend and
sway and "the effect" is on. The
wind laised by these propellers is ex
ceedingly tornado-like.
Rather simple when you know it.
but certainly a wonderful and reaiis
1 tic effect on the screen, as those who |
I leave seen the production readily tes
tify.
j Dustln Farnum comes to the Vlc
itcria Theater in this latest super

PIG SWIN PRIZES
With a pig which averaged 1.5

"I'M, SAV SO"
Murray and Macs, stars and co
medians of a score or more musical
comedy hits, will be the attraction at
the Orpheum to-day matinee and
night, presenting their latest laugh
ing success, "I'll Say So." The play
is a musical extravaganza from the
pen of George H. Emerick, produced
by a cast of thirty-five singers, danc
ers and comedians. It is an airy
trifle with a semblance of a plot on
which hangs a string of bright and
interesting specialties. The produc
tion is a novel one for a comic playi
and actually has an effect, a ludicrous
one, of course, which consists of the
unusual. The production from every
standpoint is said to be exceedingly
meritorious and an unusually large
company is employed; beautiful cos
tumes and special scenery; mechani
cal and electrical effects, and a
zling chorus of beauty, and all that
goes to make a good enjoyable en
tertainment are said to be promised.
"PARLOR, BEDROOM AND BATH"
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," de
scribed as a "ginger jar" farce, be
cause of its peppery tale of a timid
husband's harmless escapade with a
woman. Just to convince his wife that
he was not the gay boy she thought
him to be, will be offered by A. H.
Woods at the Orpheum Monday mati
nee and night. "Parlor, Bedroom and
Bath" is the one farce that survived
the summer season in New York and
ended a seven months' run in a blaze
of glory, to be placed on tour for a
limited season that will bring It to
the view of local playgoers. The
same production and the usual cast
of the Woods standard will be seen.
Walter Weems continues to score a
big hit at every performance at the
Majestic Theater the
At the Majestic last half of this
week. Weems is the
type of actor that appeals to every
one. He is a versatile comedian of
the flrst waters and also is a wonder
with the baritone. His instrumental
solos appeal to the audience as well
as his unlimited brand of excellent
laugh rollicking comedy catch lines.
Four other Keith acts are also
playing, including "The Love Race,'
a musical comedy with six pretty
girls. The play Is based somewhat
along the lines of the well known
musical comedy success, "Going up.

I.EO DITRICHSTEIN
The brightest star of the theatrical
season in the person of Leo Dltrich
steln is announced to appear at the
Orpheum theater for three Perform
ances cn Tuesday and W ed " 8 day.
October 14 and 15. when he will pre*
sent his two latest New York suc
cesses. During the last decade this ac
tor has. through the sheer.force of his
commanding talents and his devotion
to the furtherance of the best In the
dramatic world, won for himself a
i foremost position on the American
stage. For splendor of characteriza
tion, subtle artistry, distinction and
intellectual gifts, Mr. Ditrichstein has
no superior among contemporary
players He is now his own manager
and unites in that capacity all the
ideals that have distinguished his
career as an actor.
Mr. Ditrichstein will present on
Tuesday. October 14, the brilliant
drama of Henri Lavedan, the French
playwright, entitled "The Marquis de
Prlola," which caused a sensation in
New York last winter. The character
portraiture presented by Mr. Ditrich
stein as the decadent Marquis is pro
nounced his greatest histrionic tri
umph. The author pictures the ulti
mate end of the hereditary parasite
who lives solely for himself and by
the fact that he has a long line of
degenerate ancestors, demands that
his life be a reflection of theirs. It is
a daring play, unpleasant if you will,
but the scene showing the mental
and physical collapse of the Marquis
is marked by the very best acting to
be seen on the stage to-day. Mr.
Ditrichstein will present here the
original cast of brilliant players and
the identical New York production—
something seldom offered here.
The performances of Wednesday,
October 15, matinee and evening, will
be reserved as a lighter form of
drama, as Mr. Ditrichstein will be
seen in "The Matinee Hero," a ro
mantic comedy of the stage, with in
timate glimpses of the domestic life
of a popular player. It was written
by Mr. Ditrichstein and A. E. Thomas,
and is based on the ever present and
always persistent ambition of the
good acton to better things. His role
is that of a stage' star who sickens
of the poor stuff in which he is cast
every yoar—plays that please an un
thinking public but starve the aspira
tions of the artist. Despite the ap
peals of his business managing wife,
