SOMETHING GREAT
At CRYSTAL TONIGHT

"a proposal from the Spanish Don"
the second OF the "Who Will Marry
Mary" series Is perhaps the most
sensational of all the Mary" pic
lures which have been released thus
far. For the purpose of making the
principal scenes in this film, a
branch railway was hired-and the
result obtained amply justifies the
expense involved.
The first novel sensation is gained
when we ride in the baggage car with
Captain Bradford and the Spaniard.
watching the scenery flash by
through the open door. Then, as the
Spaniard pncouples the last car, we
stand in the doorway of what is now
the last car and watch Captain Brad
ford's struggle with the rusty hand
brake as the detached car gradually
loses momentum at the top of the
grade and begins to roll back down
the long hill. Then begins mad
chase over switches and under
bridges as the derelict car gains
greater speed until it is finally
plunged along at breakneck speed to-
ward an open drawbridge.
The tense moments In the race are
made even more exciting as we flash
from one view of the car showing
Bradford at the brake to the other
end of the car upon which stand
Mary and her terrified friends Then
as the car plunges toward the draw
bridge We are on the other side of
the stream where we see it coming
toward us on the trestle, rolling on
to the very edge where the platform
on which Mary is standing seems to
be suspended over the water. 1t is a
breathless moment and the suspense
has been admirably worked out.
In addition to the thrilling epis-
odes. there is good bit of comedy in
troduced in the agonies of Mary's fat
suitor who proposes to her on board
the yacht. Also

actual figures in a great many cases
that 100000 dozen eggs had been
marketed, not figuring in at all the
number used in home consumption,
and figuring at the rate of 16 2-3
cents per dozen the eggs of this town

something true, odds fish in that old

ed, sure as fate-this year can't have
its luck on straight. On Britain S
shore the suffragette is keeping all
men in a sweat, and cen the King is
sore and sick, expecting every hour
brick. The Balkan people and the
Turks are shooting up the whole
blamed works. The kindly King of
Greece was slain by some cheap
skate who'd gone insane. In Mexico
the bullets soar and people wade
around in gore. And here at home
the floods roll down, submerging
many pleasant town, and cyclones
shrek across the plain and leave
wrecked cities in the train; Death
and his angels grimly roam, and eel
citrate their harvest home And so,
however, much we wish to scorn the
ancient superstish, we'd like a
year of better fame-one with no
hoodoo on its name.-Walt Mason.
