riddled the steel plate and the sil-

IL is not believed that the new bull

my LADY'S SLIPPER"
AT PASTINE TODAY SURE

Owing TO missed train connections
the Pastime was unable to present the
muchly advertised feature, "My La
dy's slipper" TO the public yesterday.
But this remarkable feature will be
shown today as II arrived on this
mornings Northern Pacific train.
Elaborate costumes and settings OF
unusual beauty are to be seen in the
latest Vitagraph Blue Ribbon release.
my Lady's Slipper" In which Anita
Stewart and Earle Williams portray
the principal roles under the direc-
tlon OF Ralph Ince. II is the story
Of the Louis XVI period and the Vi
tagraph Company went to consider
able expense to create the atmosphere
Of those times The costumes and
characters are authentic Of that pc
rlod.
MY Lady's Slipper" was written
by Cyrus Townsend Brady and is one
Of the most interesting of the many
successful novels from his pen. The
Vitagraph Company mas spared no
expense in making It a veritable
screen masterpiece and supporting
Miss Stewart and Mr.. williams in the
cast are such well known players as
Joseph Kilgour, Harry Northrup
William Shea, Julia Swayne Gordon
George o'Donnell. George Stevens and
others.
The scenes Of "My Lady's slipper"
are laid in and near Paris during the
time OF Marie Antoinette. The story
tells OF Francis Burnham. an Ameri-
can naval officer who escapes from
British convict ship to make his way
to Paris to see Benjamin Franklin
the United States minister. While
walking outside the clty's limits he
rescues a beautiful girl from high
waymen. and falls in rove with her
Playing cards at gambling resort
Burnham becomes indebted to the
Marquis de Tremignon, who coverts
the Countess de villars and forces the
American to steal from her boudoir
some article of wearing apparel
Burnham discovers that the countess
is the beautiful girl he rescued from
the highwayman and though he takes
her slipper he refuses to give 1t up to
the marquis and is thrown into pris-
on. Word is carried to the countess
Of his plight and through her influ-
ence Burnham is released and the
marquis humlliated. Later the Amer
lean and the countess are happily
married.
"My Ladyis slipper" is the first cos
tune play In which Anita Stewart
has ever appeared. Both she and Mr..
Williams wear their silks, satins and
laces in graceful manner and their
appearance in this production will
further endear them to the motion
picture public.

At last he won by fighting off a band
Of yeggmen and saving a train from

In these days Of strenuous advertis-
ing this comedy is interesting as
showing how man eager to attain
notoriety may fall down time after
time only to attain ft when he is not
looking for it. Fairbanks makes an
attractive picture as a, lively youth
who prefers good, juicy beefsteak
to the dessicated foods that his rich
father exploits through the press. He
also has a preference ror boxing in
stead of porting over books, so he get
in bad with his system loving father.
Then he meets the girl of his choice
in a restaurant He meets the father
expecting his congratulations on his
engagement to the daughter He is
not ruffled at all wnen the parent
tells him first to get a half interest
in his fathers business. The elder
Prindle happens to be worked up over
Pete's derellctions and gives him 500

condition that he gers his picture in
the papers. Then the fun starts.
