PASSING OF THE OKLAHOMA
OUTLAW IS STAR FEATURE
Is Patriotic Drama and Will Be
Staged in Oklahoma; Well Known
Characters in Caste

Outside of Oklahoma the whole
world thinks We are hero worshippers
and that our heroes are the former
bandits who are reported to have ter
rorized the people who lived in the
early days of the territory.
This is not the case, however, and
three of the men who were instru-
mental in exterminating the bandits
of the southwest will demonstrate it
by historical moving pictures Such
has long been the idea of William II.
Tilghman formerly of this city, and
at last he is to put it into execution.
The Eagle Film company has been
incorporated with a capital stock OF
$4,000 which may be increased later
If necessary The incorporators are
e. ID. Nix of st. Louis formerly a
United States marshal, William Thigh
man and Chris Madsen of this city.
The three are so we'll known to the
people of the state that they need
no introduction.
The first undertaking of the new
company will be to produce the pa
triotic drama, ~The Passing of the Ok
lahoma Outlaws" and htose who
know anything of the history of Ok

viii Show the Actual Scenes.

Many of the pictures will be taken
at the places where the outlaws were
shot or captured and where the bat
ties with the marshals took place. All
of them will be historically true and
they win show that there was never
hero among the bandits of the ter
ritory. The pictures will show, in adj
dition to the historical facts, all the
romance that went with outlawry in
the early days of the territory and
the fatal ending of every bandits life.
With the picture story there will be
one of the best moral lessons for the
young ever shown on screen. The
history of the bandits in the south
west will show that their calling was
anything but an ailuring one, as has
been indicated in some other pictures
recently put before the public.
The pictures will record all the inn
portant events connected with the
breaking up of the Doolin and Dali
ton gangs in the territory and will
include every other bandit known
here, some of whom had only short
careers. The groundwork for the
most interesting set of pictures ever
shown rests in the memories of the ;
three men who have Incorporated the
Eagle Film company and they will
not spare any expense to make the
drama one Of the best
