Thrilling Action OF Story.
The Last Man, the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature, in five parts, with an
all star cast, including william Dun
can, Mary Anderson, Corinne Griffith,
Jack Mower, and otto Lederer is the
attraction at the Pastime theater on
Sunday and Monday.
This picture is overlooking with
thrills--real thrills-the kind every
audience loves to experience One
scene In particular Is a most risky
one.
The story calls for william Duncan
to carry Jack Mower on his back in
order to escape from the Indians who
are on the war path. Corinne Grit
fifth, too, is in the party.
The only means of escape Is to
cross certain handmade bridge
which spans a deep chasm in which
the turbulent waters Of a mountain
stream flow. This bridge is suspend
ed from two trees and Is high in the
air. 1t Us constructed from rope anC
narrow states and. as the players eros
1t can be seen to shake dangerously
from side to side. II is a well known
fact that such bridges have a tend
ency to overturn and it was onl!
through the greatest courage on th'
part Of the players that this bridg,
was used.
The first party crossed over in safe
ty-then the story called for the pur
suing Indians to follow NAturall,
the bridge had to be destroyed 81
William Duncan cut the rope, Th'
Indians were not the result Of mucl
make-up-they were the genuine ar
ticle. otherwise this part Of the stor.
would have had to be eliminated.
When the rope is cut the bridge
turns turtle, throwing its burden o
over half a dozen men into the cur
rent beneath. A camera-man wa
stationed below on a bank Of th'
stream to catch their fall while an
other stood on a high hill to one side
That is the reason that this fall is on'
Of the most thrilling ever filmed.
Pretty Corinne Griffith was unable
to work for the rest Of the day after
this perolous scene had been takeI
particularly after the Indians ha'
fallen into the stream. for once oi
twice it appeared impossible for tn
rescue party to reach the last maj
who fell from the dangling ropes II
| fact. the entire company suffered
from nervousness for the next two o
three days. so realistic was the fal
Of the Indians.
This is only one of the many gen
uine thrills contained in THE Las

excellent criticisms wherever shown
