'THE MOTH AND THE FLAME" AS
PHOTO-PLAY EXCEEDS AP-
s.. PEAL OF THE ORIGINAL
STAGE PRODUCTION

Of all the many stage and literary
successes produced in motion pictures,
The Famous Players Film company's
five-part version of Clyde Fitch's great
dramatic triumph, "The Moth and the
Flame" will undoubtedly be heralded
from dramatic point of view, as one
of the greatest screen achievements of
the present day. "The Moth and the
Flame" is unquestionably a screen
drama-quite as much so as if the au-
thor had written it expressly for the
screen. The story of the play is album
dant with many thrilling situations
and with many exciting climaxes that
constantly keep the spectator in sus-
pense. The production is mounted
quite up to the remarkable standard
set by the Famous Players Film COM
pany, and the cast shows signs of
careful and deliberate selection.
The main motif of the play is the
desire of the moth for the flame re-
CARELESS of the warnings of others
who have fallen upon the table near
the candle, even as the moth will al
ways continue to hover near the flame
sometimes escaping with scorched
wings, but nearly always following the
way others have gone before. Inter
woven with this human theme is
counterpart which aids the flame in
appearing as guardian angel when
the father of his fiancee commits sui
eide on the night of the masquerade
ball given by his daughter when he
learns that disgrace faces him in the
morning. The moth, warned Of the
character of the man she is taking as
her husband, fights with him and for
him at all times. Only the timely ar
rival of the young mother deserted by
the flame makes the poor little moth
realize the mistake she has made. The
flame ceases his operations, and re-
penis, making the child of the desert
ed mother his legal one by marrying
her, and the moth accepts the true
love Of her girlhood days.
This extraordinary subject, which is
to be the attraction at the Princess
Theatre, Thursday, February 18th, is
bound to interest people of both sexes
and all ages.

SEVERE WEATHER Trims
RANKS OF JACK RABBITS
p;cbland Ranchers Report that Great
Numbers of the Pests are
Dying of Starvation

The severe winter has caused a
scouree among the jack rabbits in and
sbout Richland. Last fall being an
exceptionally dry season so that there
,uos Init little food for them in the foot
lille made it necessary for them to
aock to the valley and try to obtain
.ustenance. However, on account of
+be great fall of snow there has been
practically nothing for them to eat in
Tho lower sections and as a result the
farmers in the vicinity of Fruitvale
GRO suffering a great deal of damage
To their hay in the stack.
O. H. Luelloff, one of the largest
ranchers in that district reports that
he has seen as many as hundred
lacks around his hay stack at one time
while he shot thirteen in five shots
the other day, not counting those he
simply wounded. Mr.. Luelloff states
that he has found numbers of rabbits
diving or dead from actual starvation
and that all those he has killed have
been nothing but skin and bones.
These jack rabbits have always been
more or less of nuisance and men,
ace to crops in the Richland district
and the farmers and sportsmen make
It a point to conduct systematic rab-
bit drives during the growing and har-
vesting seasons to get rid of as many
as possible. This year it would seem
that the danger to crops would be very
much lessened on account Of the great
number of these pests which are daily
being removed by lack of food. Ev-
cry rancher in Fruitvale has made it
business to kill as many as possible
in an effort to make the number to be
hunted later on as small as possible.
