Weeks Attractions at the Theaters
NEW COWBOY TRICKS
BY FAIRBANKS IN
HIS LATEST PLAY

In his latest Aircraft picture, The
Man from p inted Post" now at the
Strand theater, Douglas Fairbanks
discloses many new cowboy tricks
learned from champions of a recent
Rodeo meet, who appear with him in
the photoplat. The story of Wyoming
cattle rustling days presents the YER
satile Douglas in many thrilling situ-
atoms offering TYPICAL Fairbanks sur
prises.
Among other things Douglas Is
called upon to shoot two holes through
the bad mans" hat while it reposes
peacefully upon the latter's head. some
hundred yards away. When the usual
substitute was suggested, Fairbanks
refused to listen to 1t, thereby retain
ing his distinction of never taking q
stunt" before the camera. Frank Cam
peau, the popular Broadway actor who
portrays the outlaw character, being
familiar with Douglas ability as
sharpshooter. readily agreed to go
through tho bit, but when the star
leveled his guns and fired two shots
directly at the actors head. even he

even at that, when I looked into the
mouths of those young cannons 1t
made me a bit uneasy" said Campeau
later. The scene was enacted exactly
as per schedule, however. and Cam
peau's hat lay on the ground before he
realized 1t was all over.
1.-The day Of trick photography are
decidedly over, with the exception of
in speaking of the incident, land those
scenes prove that you can easily rec
ognize a faxed bit by the unnatural
tempo of the action. Whenever scene
does not look natural, you can take it
for granted that it has been duped."
Many producers cry realism" but
how many actually carry this out?
Douglas Fairbanks has become one OF
the very topmost screen favorites in
the world for various reasons, one of
which is that he never asks anyone to
do what he would not attempt himself.
There is np such thing as doubling
in Fairbanks picture. If a scene de-
mands that he leap from a tree over
chasm on to another, he does not hire
a daredevil to do it for him. He
either does 1t himself or the incident is
not included in the photoplay. Judging
from past examples he would rather
allow a daring piece of business to be
the cause for emitting good punch
in a. picture.

An appeal for Idaho grown apples
to send to the officers and enlisted
men from this state now stationed at
Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. c., is WV
idly made in the above cartoon from
the pen of E. g. Masters. of Boise, to
which he has affixed the following:
Come Mr.. Farmer and fruit grow
ing men; If We cannot be soldiers, let's
help those who can. Our boys at the
front and in camp like to eat; let's
send them morsel delicious and
sweet. Go QUE In your orchard and
climb the best tree; and pick of the
finest big apples you see. Pick them
box or two, perfect and sound; don't
pick the windfalls up from the ground.
Wrap them in tissue and pack them
with care; each with a blessing, a
thought and a prayer. Wen get them
together and then a car; for Idaho
apples have travelled afar. The boys
VIII enjoy them and so will their
friends; the token OF love which Aunt
Ida-Ho sends. They'll chew and they'll
chatter, they'll smile while they show
the fruit in abundance from their. Aunt
Ida Ho.'

CHALMERS SEDAN

accompanied by his wife, two children
and enough trunks and grips for a
travelling stock company. Excepting
three miles the entire trip to the coast
was in high gear.

an accumulation of more than 100000
miles behind him embracing some %

CLOSED CAR FOR TOURS.
IF my trips and mileage experience
may be introduced as evidence. the

pre- eminent car for tours, long or
short. My wife is an experienced driver

The family of four were after no

a leisurely trip from Chicago to San
Francisco by way of the Lincoln high
way. The exact reading OF the speed

was made on the original tires which
had already been driven E000 miles be-
fore starting. This fact and the added
feature that their tire trouble con-
sisted of two punctures, is according
to Greenburg, a distinct tribute to the
lightness of a Chalmers on tires.

The tests of this trip were terrific.
The worst going was in Wyoming
where for miles and miles we encoun-
tered one drop after another of three
and four feet in depth. Despite this
fearful jolting the sedan stood it like

Our highest mileage for one day
was from Cedar Rapids to Omaha,

Of 1850 pounds made the trip on an
