man interest production, the work of
R. A. Walsh
The story is laid among the timely
scenes along the Mexican border
The border foray is pictured IN all
of its thrilling interests. The spec
tator can see the hordes of Villa
sweeping down on helpless Columbus,
the terrified citizens, the hasty or
ganization for defense, the daring
ride for assistance, the dash of the
mounted reinforcements, the final
repulse of the invading bandits.
Minor thrills there are without num-
ber, each gripping in its intensity,
but nothing equal to this 'big thrill,
for the very good reason that seldom
has it been equaled on the screen.
The round of characters includes
many of the most interesting types
of modern American life, the hero be-
ing an ambitious, honorable, cultivat-
ed youth who by means of the en-
tangling web of circumstances is at
tackled by gigantic graft. His strug-
giles with the serpentine, strangling
evil constitutes thrilling neXus of
action with which are contrasted the
humors of life in the raw southwest
and the sentiment and pathos of the
feminine element in the story.
