"The Cowboy Millionaire,


The picture-play public is likely to
recall the great Selig sensation of three
years ago, known as "The Cowboy
Millionaire" which, like the famous
one-horse chaise, or the pants of Ply
mouth Rock brand that never wear
out, has continued so strong in esteem
that the Selig Polyscope Co., in re-
sponse to continuous requests, conclud-
ed to make a sumptuous and signifi-
cant revival under the old caption, du-
plicating all the strong features Of
the earlier production and reinforcing
them elaborately. The factors for
accomplishing such results are passing
so rapidly that difficulties multiplied.
This, however, only whetted Selig's
determination to see the thing through
good and plenty and make the picture
better than its predecessor, regardless
of expense. 1t involved the trans
portation of a large company to dis
tant points, to secure the real cowboy
personages amid their own surround
ings, instead of picturing Eastern ac-
tors on the studio field "The Cow
boy Millionaire" throbs strongly with
the spirit of the West and has the at
mosphere of reality to make it moving
and picturesque. Its comedy call is
lusty and laughable. AS Uncle Remus
remarked: 1T do move" This master
piece of Western life is in two exciting
reels and will be shown here at the
Pastime Theatre today and tomorrow.
