feature. The Raven from George

masterpiece absolutely perfect in
every detail, Essanay spared Meth
tr time nor money. An architect OF
national renewn was sent to Ford

for the sole purpose OF drawing a
set Of plans OF both the interior and
exterior of the house. which was
built in the revolutionary period,
and which now stands as a historic
memorial to Americas greatest poet|
These plans were followed exactly
in the construction of the sets not

FAIRBANKS A HIT
AT FOX'S THEATER

soen on a local screen is the Triangle
attra ction at Fox's. 1t is entitled
Manhattan Madness and features
Douglas Fairbanks in one of his very
best roles. The piece is action from
the very start action of the sort that
makes you hold your breath in eX-
rcctancy of what is going to happen
next. Douglas Fairbanks plays the
part of the eastern college man who
has been west for several years. He
returns to Manhattan and finds it very
tame and nearly drives the mem bers
Of his club insane by telling them of
the awful dull place they live in. The
outcome is a wager of SIS, 900 by one
of the club members to show Fair
hunks a real thrill or forfeit the above
amount. Fairbanks ia equally at
home in chaps and sombrero or "soup
and fish" His gymnastic capabili-
ties are called on to the utmost after
he enters upon the adventures which
follow the wager, and despite some
pretty tight squeezes, he never loses
