The ingenuity of the writer's who are
responsible for the thrilling Hazards
of Helen" railroad pictures is frequent
~ put to the test In evolving new ex-
plolts for the daring Helen Gibson to
perform. There is a touch Of surprising
cleyerness and originality about the
feat which Helen attempts in "The
Haunted Station" and which is shown
in the photograph above. Helen, pur.
sued by demented ex-telegrapher,
has raced down the track, only to find
that the drawbridge is being elevated
to allow ship to pass. Her frantic
cries attract the attention Of the work
men on the bridge, and they throw
down a rope. She then makes the
perllous thirty foot climb hand over
hand on the swaying rope, with her
pursuer climbing after her.

the supposedly dead mans actions
have caused many male operators to

will take the job, which she does.
Her first night on the lonely vigil Is

Katherine Kaelred, who gives a re-

siren on the American stage. Few
there are who are unfamiliar with the

and cards.
Saturday, the Big Four offering will
be "a Daughter of the City," which
comes in five parts. 1t is adapted
from the play by H. S. Sheldon and
deals with a problem growing out of
the present day economical and social
conditions. 1t is the story Of girl
who through the combination Of
beauty and poverty falls prey to the
flesh hunters. The parts Of the play
which point out the great evil threat
ening the girl are delicately handled
and fascinating. These parts are nee
essary to the story and point out the
moral with force and strength.
marguerite Clayton, who takes the
part Of the girl that falls into the
trap of the rich flesh hunter, is ideal
ly cast. She is beautiful and her large
eyes look out at you from the screen
with all the innocence of the charac-
ter she represents. Z. H. Calvert,
