When Edwin August, OF the Powers,
was in ireland he went to no little labor
and expense in making a collection of
antique shawls. For years he has kept
had forgotten their existence until recent
ly he unearthed them.
Forthwith he wrote and has already
produced a one-reel drama, in which the
beautiful shawls play an important part.
The story Is entitled, MY Mothers Irish
Shawls," and it does with an old Irish
woman and her son, who have been
years in making the collection.
An unscrvpulous firm in Paris needs
the old woman's shawls to complete its
own collection 1t steals the collection
dealer in antiquities. The dealer is about
to have the son arrested, when the boy
picks up an old chair with which to
strike the dealer. A false bottom falls
out Of the chair and reveals the stolen
shawls.
Mr.. August plays the part Of the son
and Mrs. May Benson that Of his old
mother.
A thriller which cost thousands Of dol
lars and some weeks to make is the
coming Eclair feature, Into the Wild"
The action is laid in London, New York,
and the Rockies. The plot, bristling with
blood-stirring incidents, exciting climaxes
and pathetic situations, carries the spec
tator rapidly from place to place. The
big moment of the play Is the train
wrecldng scene in the third reel. An
overland express Of five passenger cars
and q mammoth locomotive, running at
high speed, Is thrown OF the track. The
cars catch fire, cerating a most -awe-in-
spring and wonderful scenic effect.

intentioned young man who goes wrong
