and RELEASED by the Selig company
Colin Campbell directed "The Spoil
ers" and "The Ne'er-do-Well,'f and
Kathlyn Williams, who achieved such
emotional heights in "The Spoilers" !"
even surpassed the record made there
as Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt in "The
e'er-do-Well."
Wheeler Oakman plays the title
role and the drama filmed in Panama,
the locale of Rex Beach's story,
abounds in plot, counter-plot, hand-to-
hand battles, and strong love interest.
Beautiful scenic effects are plenti-
full including wonderful tropical seem

"As it became fully known the peo-

portance Of the proposed road from
st. Louis to Texas or New Mexico, as
it would be a part of trans-continent-

al traffice is over the Santa Fe trail,
via st. Louis and Kansas City and by
the Lincoln Highway, Chicago and
Omaha. With the Ozark trail complet-
ed from ST. Louis to point in New

tablished, shorter and more attractive
