visible signs of an injury were noticed
the parents paid ne further attention
to the matter until a few days ago,
when a slight bump appeared on the
back of the neck and a dull pain fol-
lowed. She was put under the X-Ray,
which revealed a dislocation of the
bones in the spinal column a couple
of inches below the base of the head,
practically amounting to a broken
neck. Owing to the seriousness of
the case it was deemed best to N
suit a specialist and she was immedi-
ately taken to St. Paul. 1t is also an
unusual case since the girl showed no
ill effects from the injury until two
weeks later.

HENRY WOODRUFF MAKES
HIS SCREEN DEBUT

Henry Woodruff makes his debut as
a Triangle star. His name is known
to every matinee girl in the land.
Then there is Sam Bernard, foremost
exemplar of the broken English style
of %hyphenated comedy. Still another
name that means something is Joe
Jackson, the tramp bicyclist, vaude-
vile head-liner and featured member
of Winter Garden shows. Completing
the list of personalities of promotion
value are Norma Talmadge and Rob-
ert Harron. Miss Talmadge is a
beautiful girl who appears for the
first time in Griffith productions.
Harron has eve acted for any n
else, and with Miss Talmadge in "The
Missing Links" has his first screen
part since his success in "The Birth
of a Nation" as the younger North
ern brother of dainty Lillian Gish.
Woodruf's medium, "The Beckon-
ing Flame" is a powerful and pictur-
esque story of old India. It is the
kind of vehicle Ince likes to make be-
cause it presents such opportunities
for scenic beauty and superb photo
graphy. The ancient custom of SUIT
tee described by Kipling-the immo-
lation of a bride on the funeral pyre
of her dead husbands the hinge on
which the plot hangs. Supporting
Woodruff is a talented Japanese
actress, Tsuru Aoki. She is the
young widow rescued from a horrible
death in the fire only to yield to the
reckoning flames when the English
sweetheart of her rescuer comes to
India and he is threatened with ex-
posure and disgrace. The desert
scenes and the burning of the bunga-
low in which the girl perishes are
p~ictorially perfect. The combination
of Woodruff, Miss AoH and a strong
drama.
Sam Bernard and Joe Jackson are
presented by Mack Sennett in a brace
of hilarious Keystone comedies. The
former is a chef in a play called "Be-
cause He Loved Her" He does al
most everything except cook in this
thirty minutes Of fun: He is the prin-
cipal factor in a thrilling chase; the
taxicab in which he is riding is
wrecked but he escapes uninjured and
continues on a motorcycle, reaching
his destination after riding through
a brick house and telescoping a lunch
wagon. Because He Loved Her" is
a farcical thriller of the first water,
and Sam Bernard proves himself a
natural comedian; he is just as funny
without his dialect as he ever was
with it. His recent appearance in
"The Great Pearl Tangle" is recalled
with pleasure, and because He Loved
Her" should repeat. .
"A Modern Enoch Arden" introduce
.es Joe Jackson to Triangle audiences.
The bicycle is used with laughable eff
feet and also to make a rescue when
a child is floating away o. a disabled
motorboat. A hut blows up and there
are numerous other situations in
which the Triangle disregard for
property. and expense is shown when
ever a legitimate effect is desired.
The Griffith play while sensational
in a way is SO elemental in its appeal
that it has been one of the best liked
plays in the Triangle service. All the
action takes place in a small town,
such a place as we all know or have
read, about. There are two youthful
couples whose love does not always
u smoothly; a bank is wrecked and

Mordecai Brown was one of those

This performance was overshadowed
by the fact that it was the first time
that the miner had pitched in a Cub

was released during the memorable
civil war series al Chicago in 1912.
Now, after years Of absence from
the National league. will the miner
come back? That was the question
before the game, but the four-round
bout did not answer it. The fact that
he only allowed one hit did not tell
the whole story. 1t is on record that

AND WHITE
TO MEET TONIGHT

Eddie Evers finished his training
yesterday afternoon for his 10-round
bout tonight with frankie White of
Chicago, at Iowa City. With his man
ager, George Dams, and following of
fight bugs, Evers departed at noon for
the College city. The boys will weigh
in at 3 this afternoon at 116 pounds.
Evers has taken no chances in pre-
pairing for the fight, as he respects
the ability Of White as fighter The
Windy City lad has long string OF
victories to his credit, but Evers is
confident of adding another win.
Evers will probably tackle Bobby
Burns at Des Moines about the middle
of this month. Burns shaded Pete

FIGHT PICTURES
/. W|LLEVADE Law?
Promoters Retake Them in Canada
With Camera Placed Just Over
Border in New York.

Rouse's Point, n. Y, April 6.-The
motion pictures of the JohnsonWil-
lard fight, which took place in Cuba,
will be shown in this and other states
if the plans of certain promoters do
not miscarry. The pictures have new
eer been exhibited in the United States
because the federal law prohibits the
importation of prize fight movies and
an additional embargo has obtained in
New York because the local law for
bids the exhibition of fight pictures
not made within the state.
New York City soon will see the fight,
according to the confident expectations
of L. M. D. Mcclure, president Of the
Real Estate Dealers association of
New York; Jimmy" Johnston, a con-
spicuous functionary of the Willard
Moran fight; Harold T. Edwards and
others.
The object of the promoters was to
get the Willard pictures into
New York and throughout the United
States without violating the laws. A
few days ago a party of men arrived
here with all the paraphernalia neces-
sary for taking motion pictures. They
rode to a stone that marks the boun-
Diary line between this country and
Canada. Over this stone they set a
tent, half in the United States and half
in the Dominion. A messenger was
started from Toronto with the reels
under instructions not to let them get
out Of his possession and not to Get
foot on United States territory with
them.
Having overcome difficulties the
messenger reached point few miles
from the boundary, from which place
he travelled by automobile along a road
leading to Rouse's Point, until he
reached a stretch Of highway that runs
into the United States. To avoid TAX
ing the pictures along this stretch and
violating the law against the importa-
ton of the films the messenger had to
carry the heavy box containing them
on his shoulder while he trudged
across mile Of uneven Canadian coun-
try.
At last, however, the tent was
reached, the films were unpacked and
the reels set up in Canada just IL
inches away from the lens of camera
firmly placed in the United States.
A synchronizing device to regulate
the movement Of the negative film on
which the pictures had been taken and
the positive to which they were to be
transferred was put in operation and
the taking Of the pictures within the
boundaries of the United States and
Of New York state was begun. The
process was completed today. The re-
production was witnessed by a Gus
toms officer.

.COTCH IS FEELING
STRONG AS EVER
Tells Hum Folk at Humboldt, Iowa,
That With Little More Work He
Will Again Be Champ Of Old.

Humboldt, Ia, April 6.-Satisfied
that he can get back into his Old-time
condition with a little more work,
Frank Gotch returned here to look
after his big farm interests in Hum
boldt county He will spend two
weeks overseeing preparations for the
spring crop planting, then will join the
circus with which he is to tour the
country this summer.
Gotch owns farms hereabouts that
are valued at more than $4,000.
They were bought with his savings
from the mat game and with the profits
from judicious investments that he
has made from time to time.
The first question local folks asked
Gotch on his return here was, Are
you going to meet Stecher?' and the
next was, Are you as good as ever?"
To the first question Gotch an
swered: IF satisfactory inducements
are offered me and If circumstances at
the time warrant my doing so, l shall
meet Stecher for the championship
To the second he replied: Il feel
that l am as good as ever. At least
l seem to have all the old-time speed
and strength"
Not since the days when Hacken-
schmidt and Gotch were preparing to
wrestle for the worlds championship
has Humboldt been so excited. Every
body here is planning to back Gotch
with all he can bet and everybody is
confident Frank will still be world S
champion when the sun sets next La
Dor day, or whenever it is arranged
that Gotch and Stecher shall meet.
