THE SPOILERS.
GREAT BOOK OF REX BEACH
FILMIZED AT GREAT COST;
FIRST TIME HERE.

"Go ahead, said w. N. Selig, when
il was decided to filmize "The Spoil
ers". "Use what money and time are
required to make the supreme Ameri-
can photo-play, Spare nothing"
The result is shown in the nine reel
drama to be shown at the Lyric Thea
ire Friday night, April 2, and Satur-
day matinee, April 3.
Rex Beach's novel has been repro
duced in way impossible to any 9TH
er form of art. 1t is vital from start
to finish, Love, courage, determina-
ton, ambition, deceit, brutality, hand
to hand encounters by desperate men
for desperate measures, corrupt courts
and the lay Of primal rights in fierce
clash, these are some Of the elements
that keep the suspense at high ten
sion from start to finish. There are
nine reels, hundreds Of scenes and
thousands Of incidents graphically
portrayed. The acting is vigorous,
life-like and tells vital American
story in a tremendously vital way,
Nothing like the hand to hand fight
between Glenister and Mcnamara has
ever been shown on the stage before.
1t would be impossible in speaking
drama, No gladiatorial combat of
Ancient Rome was fiercer or bloodier,
and this struggle has the added vir-
tue Of true dramatic situation, the
world old struggle between right and
wrong, good and evil, condensed into
the forms Of two characters Of the
story who have become familiar
through previous presentations in the
plot. II is story Of modern Ameri.
can frontier life,
This most wonderful picture is TO
receive its initial presentation in Har-
rison at the Lyric.

A Poor MineroIOgiSt

The Mountain Home people are
jollying Tom Shiras, editor Of the
Baxter Bulletin. numerically about
gold and gold mining. 1T seems
that somebody loaded piece Of
Of zinc ore with gold and represented
that it had been found in that con-
dition in a cellar that Mae Curlee
was digging, Now nothing would
make Toms ear tingle quicker than
a rich mining prospect and he was
Immediately interested. He wrote
up the find for the Arkansas Gazette
and sent samples off for ANALYSIS.
Tom admits that when he present.
ed sample to Sta te Geologist John
T, Fuller, Mr. Fuller assured him
that there "ain't no such animal"
that it is impossible for the chemical
combination to take place that would
precipitate gold in zinc ore. Never
theless Tom informed the geologist
that he did not know what he was
talking about-that the gold Was
actually there.
Since Tom has learned that the
whole affair was a hoax he says he
has written to the state geologist
that he still believes that it is pos.
sible for gold to be deposited in zine
ore-when the proper conditions
are brought about in the hands Of a
