THE GREATEST FIGHT EVER
FILMED.

Some power of the primitive
throbs in every real man, responsive
to the call of contest, natural fact
that accounts for the perpetual popu-
larity of combat While wrestling
bouts, boxing matches and prize
fights have found their way on
films, they return to the shadow in
face of a real fight that marks one
of the big, fierce and vital chapters
of "The Spoilers. While Roy
Glenister is strenuous person, he
curbs his disposition to openly meet
and overthrow the nagging, schem-
ing McNamara,-th the imminent cause

moment Disregarding all restraint
that kept him from laying hands up

clinch with savage joy. While sci
entific boxing, or wrestling accord
ing to the rules, is not here exem-
plified, these two strong men put up
a fiercer and stronger fight than has
ever been caught upon the flying
film. This is smashing rough and
tumble conflict in which youth and
agility finally wear down GOODNESS and
science by the gameness and fierce
ness of its onslaught The slow
steady lead that finally delivers the
sinewy Mcnamara into the steel
coil of the "hammer-lock", does
break him in reality. Every move Of
this big battle is recorded with
fidelity and realism that is thrilling

theater on November %, starting at

BY Q. HENRY

On his bench In Madison square
Soapy moved uneasily. When wild
geese honk high Of nights and when
women without sealskin coats grow
kind to their husbands and when Soapy
moves uneasily on his bench In the
park you may know that winter ID near
at hand.
4 Adead leaf fell In Soaps lap. That
was Jack Frost's card. Jack Is kind to
the regular denizens Of Madison square
and gives fair warning Of his annual
call, At the corners of four streets he
hands his pasteboard to the north wind,
footman OF the mansion OF All Out
doors, 10 that the inhabitants thereof
may make ready.
Soapy's mind became cognizant OF the
fact that the time had come for him to
resolve himself into a singular commit
tee Of ways and means to provide
against the coming rigor. And there
fore he moved uneasily on his bench.
The International ambitions Of Soapy
were not Of the highest. In them there
were no considerat lions Of Mediterra-
mean cruises, of soporific southern skies
or drifting in the Vesuyian bay. Three
months on the island was what his soul
craved Three months Of assured board
and bed and congenial company, safe
from Boreas and bluecoats, seemed to
Soapy the essence Of things desirable. &
For years the hospitable Blackwells
had been his winter quarters. Just az
his more fortunate fellow New York
ers had bought their tickets to Palm
Beach and the Riviera each winter, 80
Soapy had made his humber arrange
ments for his annual hegira to the is
land. And now the time was come.
On the previous night three Sabbath
newspapers, distributed beneath his
coat, about his ankles and over his
lap. had failed to repulse the cold as
he slept on his bench near the squirting
fountain in the ancient square So
the island doomed big and timely II
Sonpy's mind. He scorned the provi-
sfons nude IN the name OF charity Tor
the city's dependents. In Soaps opin-
Ion the law was more benign than
philanthropy There was an endless
round OF institutions, municipal and
eleemosynary, on which he might set
out and receive lodging and food ac-
cordant with the simple life. But to
one Of soapy's proud spirit the gifts
OF charity are incumbered. II not In I
coin you must pay in humiliation Of
spirit for every benefit received at the
hands Of philanthropy. As Caesar had
his Brutus, every bed Of charity must
have It's toll Of bath, every loaf Of
bread its compensation Of private
and personal inquisition, wherefore 1t
Is better to be guest Of the law,
which, though conducted by rules, does
not NEEDLE unduly with gentleman's
private affairs. 5.

island, at once get about accomplish
