Friday and Saturday a magnificent
hand-colored lion picture:
Attacked by lion" Gaumont. A
very big feature picture, set on the
deserts edge in Africa. Two full
grown lions are seen feeding on a
bullock; also a hyena. Some Arabs
attack a ranch and the owners call
up their nearest neighbor by tele-
phone. He starts on horseback and
is attacked by the lions, which leap
upon him from above. The man
shoots the lion dead and rushes to
aid his friends. Meanwhile the troops
learn of the attack and come rushing
up in time to save the rancher. A
wonderful picture filled with the
tensest thrills.

taken from the ancient legend told in
the Sierras of a siren who used to

this subject, causing the girl to ap-
pear and disappear in spooky way.
It's another wonderful picture.

done much to lessen the ardor OF the

the small boy to make the life of
song birds miserable in the Cities
