week are enjoying the clever work
of George Stone and Eta Pillard, the

BIG BILL FARNUM
RETURNING TO FOX'S

One of the best shows yet will be
seen at Fox's for the three days start
ing next Sunday. First and foremost
in the interest of local FoX-followers
will be the grand triumphal return of
William Farnum, the most beloved
and red-blooded film hero in the bust
ness, who will make his bows In his
first big seven-part Fox standard pro-
duction, The Conqueror." Accord
ing to the testimony of those who
have seen both pictures, Bill Far
NUNS "Conqueror" Is even better than
his brother Dustin's recent success
"The Spy" and when that is said, it
means a picture we'll worth seeing.
The picture has to do with the az
Invites of General Sam Houston and,
although it may not all be strictly
according to historical evidence, Yet
In those points where it differs, it is
an improvement on history Sam
Houston could have done a lot Of
things in his life, if he only thought
of them. but it remained for Farnum,

battle-scarred general the things ne
should have done, but didn't There
are punches, thrills and excitement
enough in THE Conqueror" to make
three ordinary features, and you can
leave it to Fighting Bill Farnum to
make the most of all the chances he
gets.
Another feature of extraordinary
interest is the new Vitagraph serial
The Fighting Trail,' which will have
its formal opening in New Britain a.
F>oxs on Monday. To those who are
familiar with the output of the Vita
graph studios in the past, there can
be no doubt that they will expend
every possible effort to make this,
their first serial, winner. The stars
are William Duncan, reputed to be
the bravest serial actor in America,
and charming Carol Holloway, known
to her millions Of devotees. as the
prettiest actress in the world

Thus challenged, 1 (naturally) did

I hope I should have had the tact
not to anyway.
Had it been one woman who made
all three of those cheerful criticisms
