his LAST DOLLAR"

The famous racing play, Ellis Last
Dollar" with David Higgins in the
role originally created by him, is the
most thrilling drama of its type ever
produced in America, and the Famous
Players Film Co. have accomplished
a signal achievement in filming this
drama of the turf with it's star. The
success Of the original production was
so decisive and notable that the title
of the play has become a by-word in
racing circles, and for many years a
"David Higgins" has been commonly
accepted as representing the last
dollar in ones possession.
In the film production, David Hig-
gins unusual Characterization of Joe
Braxton, the millionaire ex-jockey,
surpasses his impersonation in the
stage version, and many scenes, in
GLIDING the exciting situation at the
Stock Exchange and the great race
itself, that were only described in the
play, are wildly depicted in the film
adaptation. In all these Mr.. Hig-
gins versatility is revealed to 2
marked degree, and his talents as
actor and horseman are shown un-
hampered by the inevitable limita-
tions of a stage production. There is
a fine thread of comedy interviewer
with the more stirring action. The
plot develops logically and with cum
ulative interest.
This film will be at the Lyric Sep

THE VOGUE OPENING

On Tuesday the ladies of Dickin-
son were present in large numbers at
the formal opening of The Vogue as
a ready-to-wear as we'll as a millinery
store. The new arrangement of the
display windows was finished by the
Heaton Lumber Co. that morning
just in time for the opening day. The
new background is formed of mirrors,
the small panels being set in white
enameled sash. Against this attrac-
tive background, which doubles the
charm of the goods displayed, Miss
Flanagan achieved a most artistic eff

in soft reds and grays was spread, q

two pink and white picture hats and
a pink trimmed box.-That was all,
but the window was a beauty.
In the other window the same

THE MAN FROM MEXICO"

John Barrymore, who made his first
appearance in motion pictures through
the medium of the Famous Players
production of Gan American Citizen"
a film comedy that recorded a sen
sational success in motion picture
circles, now returns to the Famous
Players program in H. A. Du
Souchet's famous comedy success,
''The Man From Mexico" Mr.. Barry
more depicts the character Of Fitzhew,
the gay young married man who still
longs for the cabarets and other de.
lights of his bachelor days, and
thereby gets himself into dreadful
dilemmas from which he extricates
himself only by the most wonderful
inventions possible to ever an un-
truthful man. All the delicious humor
of Mr.. Barrymore's delightful person
atty is at its best in his portrayal of
the light-hearted and light-headed,
bibulous Fitzhew, whose mythical adj
ventures in Mexico the comedy so
laughably unfolds.
Clementina Fitzhew decides to
spend a night with her mother, but
happening to overhear her husband
planning a wonderful time at the
Cafe Cleopatra with his friend and
boon companion Majors, she de-
termines to follow them to the gay
cafe and watch hubby. Fitzhew and
Majors betake themselves in blissful
ignorance to the Cleopatra, and pro-
coed to partake not wisely but too
well Of the flowing bowl. A picture
Of Clementina falls from FitZhew's
wallet, and is seized by Paquita, a
Spanish dancer, who keeps it to tease
Fitzhew. Majors ~persuades Fitzhew
to leave while still able to walk, and

SCOTT GORE CONQUERED
BAD LAND CHARLEY

The broncho busting exhibition at
Williston Saturday drew a big
crowd and those present witnessed
probably the best event of it's
kind ever pulled off in this part of
the country.
Bad Land Charley is a horse which
has defied all riders for the past
four years. Some of the best riders
in the west have tackled him but
none have ridden him. At Miles City,
Glendive, Wibaux and Dickinson, he
has endorsed mighty good riders. It
remained for Scott Gore, Mckenzie
county's champion rider of the west,
commonly called champion rider of
the world, to perform the feat and he
did it to the satisfaction of all who
saw the performance. Old broncho
busters and lei who have seen wild
broncho riding for years, who were
present pronounced it to be the best
riding exhibition they have wei seen.
Scott rode clean, whipped the horse
at every jump and didn't pull leather
he never does.
One remarkable feature of this
riding was the fact that Scott rode
with a couple of cracked ribs. In the
preliminary performance he and r.
Creighton had ridden a bucking bron-
cho together. The horse ran head on
into the corral fence, the impact throw
ing the horse. In the mix-up two of
. Scott's ribs were cracked and his face
was peeled. After a little rest, how
ever, he tackled Bad Land Charley,
against the advice of a doctor and his
friends, and in the test between man
and beast he came out Victorious
Elk.

P. R. R. Efficient
IN FIGHTING fires
Employees ExtinguiShed
Three-fOurthS of All
in 1914
TOTAL LOSS
WAS $65S,4S3

High efficiency in the methods and
apparatus used in fighting fires on the
Pennsylvania railroad system is shown
by the annual report of the insurance
department just completed. Copies
of the report have been received by
officials of the railroad company in
this city and posted ON the bulletin
boards.
-Four hundred and twenty-seven
fires, more than three-quarters Of all
that occurred on the property of the
system last year. were extinguished
by company employees before receiving
the aid Of public lire departments
Promptness in checking this fires kept
the average loss on each down to $43
although the property directly endan-
gered was worth $9,516,434. The act
ual damage sustained in fires extin-
guished by employees was only $751;
46S. or less than one-fifth of one per
cent. of the value of the property
threatened.
Organized fire brigades among the
employees last year checked "a fires
and saved $1.524.O75 worth of prop
crty, at a loss of S7O66. Other en-
ployes, by the use of chemical extin-
guishers, put out n fires. saving prop.
erty to the value of S3,713.22S, with a
loss of only $2,6S4, and by the use Of
company's fire hose protected property
with a value of S1.779O22, through ex.
tinguishing 43 fires with a loss oI
S2262.
The total fire loss on the Pennsyl
vania system during the year 1914
| including fires where the assistance o.
the city fire departments was received
was S65S 4S3. while the value of tn,
entire property was nearly 100000,
600. The fire loss being only 16 cents
for each 500 OF property value a
risk
Many Of the fires resulting in thii
loss were from causes over which tn,
