David Higgins in
"HIS LAST DOLLAR"


"His Last Dollar" the celebrated
racing play, and perhaps one of the best
dramas of the turf ever produced in
America, with its original star, David
Higgins, has been reproduced on the
screen in four-part film version by the
Famous Players Film Co. The drama
was written by David Higgins and Bald
win G. Cooke, and tells of jockey who
amasses wealth, becomes a power in
Wall street, and is betrayed by his fan
Gee and her accomplce, who is his pro-
fessed friend. The conspiracy in which
the luckless Kentuckian finds himself
leads to crisis in Wall Street. but the
millionaire's tottering fortune is secured
when he dons racing colors and wins the
Futurity on his own horse.
The play is absorbing from first to last,
combining some of the elements of a
society drama with the more virile COM
ponents of plausible melo-drama. Its
battle of millions in Wall Street, its STIR
ring race-track scene, its view of New
high social life, contrasted by the blue
grass and hills of Kentucky and its cow
boy atmosphere, give the play variety
of appeal that is certain to insure wide
and remarkable following.

Sussue Hayakawa, the Japanese actor, in
"THE TYPHOON."
Tokoramo has been sent to Paris by
his country to secure the plans of the
French military forces. His work is in
terfered with by the visits to his office
of Helene, a chorus girl with whom he
has fallen in love- Helene has heartless-

the new and interesting Jap, and mean
while Toko's countrymen in Paris have
been informed by their spy of Helene's
visits.
Tokoramo endeavors to keep Helene
from coming because he is working night
and day; but to no avail. She continues
to visit his apartments against his wishes
and one day while there her rejected
sweetheart forces his way past the serv'
ant into Toko's room. Toxic quickly hides
Helene behind curtain, where she list
ems to her own denunciation and expos.
ure from the lips of the man she has Sc
lightly deserted. When Bernisky de-
parts, Toxic brings Helene from her hid
ing place and bids her go forever, bu
she pleads passionately to remain. Tokt
will not listen and demands that she leave
at once. Helene starts, and Toxic, real
izing how much he cares for her, CALI
her back. Then she refuses to stay, ant
in vehement denunciation tells him she
will go back to Bernisky and laughs a.
him calls him ''yellow rat' and bid
him return to his yellow country from
whence he came. This enrages Toxic
and he strangles Helene to death ant
leaves her lying lifeless on his bed.

The Red Cross seal sale is still
short of the amount given last year,
but it is hoped that this amount will
be made up in the next few remain
ing days of the sale. The seals may
be purchased in the postoffice, in sew
eral of the Keokuk stores, and some
of the letters which have been sent
out are still to be heard from. If the
local committee can sell 800 more OF
stamps they will be able to equal
the record of last year. 1t is hoped
by the committee that they will be
able to do this, as it will mean just
that much more for local work.
If you have received the stamps ny
mail and have neglected to reply,
there is still time. Any packages that
YOU still have to send will be very
good place to put the seals on. and
you can purchase them in different
stores in the city.

crete objects for which it is being
waged have never been definitely
stated.
THE leaders Of the several bellig-
erents have, as had been said, stated
those objects in general terms. But
stated in general terms, they seem

them and their people that the war
had been fought out. The world mas
