THRILLING TRAIN ROBBERIES ARE
MANUFACTURED. TO YOUR. ORDER

THE Great Train Robbery" series of
moving pictures has proved a thriller in
nearly all the larger cities of the United
States. 1t is. however. a source of IN
ending wonder how photographs of such
drama could have been taken in the
wilds OF the Rocky Mountains.
The picture play begins with a scene
in the lonesome telegraph station In
which the operator. receiving train or
de-s. is overcome with the butt OF
pistol. bound hand and foot. gagged.
and left unconscious on the floor by
the desperadoes; proceeds with the cap
ture Of the train. the murder of the
fireman. the killing of the express mes
senger. blowing open of the safe. hold
up of all the passengers and shooting
of one who attempts TO escape. and
winds up with horseback ride through
the mountains with the bags OF booty
a wild weird dance in a log cabin. pur-
suit by the sheriff and posse. and death
Of all the robbers.
Much Shooting.
There is an immense amount OF shoot
ing. said our informant. The smoke OF
the pistols is plainly seen. and men drop
dead right and left. but no sound is
heard. Nevertheless, while witnessing
the exhibition. women put their fingers
in their ears 20 shut out the noise Of
the firing. That is pure realism.
More than 100000 persons. it is esti-
mated. havt looked. at these pictures
and many ave tried to locate the
scenes. Most of the railroads in the Far
West have been charged with me hold
up, but If the acusers would only study
the fora OF the country they would see
at a glance that there is nothing at all
like IL In the Rockies.
Three commuters on a certain rail-
road running out OF New York saw the
show recently. and when the robbers
fought the fireman on the tender one
remarked: by Jovei l know that fire.
man. He's on No. -, on our road. I'd
recognize him among "A million"
Later, when the engineer was or
dered to get dcwn ana uncouple the
locomotive, the same speaker said:
'Yes. and there's , our favorite
engineer Wonder what those fellows
were doing out in the Rockies?'
Not Good Proposition.
A company owning biographs. Vita
scopes, microscopes. microscopes, cine
autographs, etc, made the following
proposition to the management Of "a
popular line entering New York: "IS

DO any writing or figuring which might
be necessary.
"One day there was a trial on and the
little room was crowded to its limit
Mrs. SHAFT was busy taking notes. but
dropped her pencil and began a search
for IL. The justice announced:

A Poor Guesser.

A Representative who will not take
part IN the next House tells this story
which he says illustrates that voters
have tricks as well as candidates:
"One OF the best hustlers IN my dis
trict had given me 10 understand that
he would work and vote for me. I was
showed under by very good majority,
and. naturally. I wanted to ascertain
who IL was that had played me false.

sort OF advertisement out Of IL for your
system. We will put it on every stage
in the country
The railroad folk took the matter
under Amusement. and agreed that 10
advertise train robbery on their line
would not tend to increase the number
Of passengers or reassure those already
regularly carried However, an ar
rangement was made satisfactory TO
both parties. the railroad company OBJ
tanning the concession of different set
OF living pictures that could properly
be used as an advertisement
So, then. every picture of the Great
Train Robbery by the machines OF the
vitascope company was taken on this
line Of road within a distance of fifteen
miles of New York city The engineer
and fireman are favorite employees. and
the latter has manifested a degree of
histrionie ability that nfsy yet land him
on the stage His fierce attack on his
assailants. with the muZzle OF six shoot
ers in his face, could not have been
better acted by any professional His only
weapon is the shovel. and he fails TO
brain his man by very narrow margin.
Robber Brains Him.
After one Of the robbers gets him
down and beats his brains out with
lump OF coal. his 1ifeless body is picked
up and thrown off the tender. This part
OF the camera work was done with such
minutiae OF detail as 20 puzzle the
sharpest critic. BY clever manipulation
the body of the living fireman disap-
pears during the Draining process and
its place Is taken by a dummy which
defies Identification. II is the dummy
that is thrown Off the tender.
The scene was photographed Just as
the engine was passing upon bridge
lc9 feet above a roadway in a neighbor
ins city. and the effigy happened to fan
directly in front OF trolley car pack
ed with passengers. The notorman
seeing a man descending from the train
head over heels, was panic-strickeu.
The car went over the PROSTATE form
and was stopped. Passengers got out
Peli-mell, shouting. crying. and general
~ showing excitement. For a little
while there was intense excitement,
followed by some tall swearing by the
conductor and mOtorman when the true
character OF the man was discovered.

Form in Line.

During the hold-up OF the passengers
OF the robbed train It looks as though
more than a hundred persons leave the
several cars and form in line to be
searched. The men and women are
employees of a big factory in one OF
the Oranges. all hired for the occasion
to help the train picture.
