colorful, gripping. Glled with thrill
ing interest and exciting romance
and adventure, William Fox's newest
phOtoplay. ''The Island Of Desire" is
destined to be the biggest motion pic
ture sensation Of the year.
No expense has been spared by the
producer in making this feature a
spectacle Of unusual proportions. A
story which engrosses from its very
outset, has been admirably interpret
ed by an excellent cast OF actors,
headed by George Walsh and Margar-
ct Gibson. The result is a film wor'
thy Of unstinted praise.
Here are a few of the unusual, ex-
citing incidents which make this pro-
ductiOn a masterpiece Of picturiza-
ton:
/. A man and a woman are be-
sieged in a rude hut on a tropical is
land of the South Pacific by two men
drunk with gin and opium. The at
tackers set fire to the house, but the
pair inside are saved by the force Of
severe hurricane which sweeps
enormous trees in its path and
quenches the blaze in a torrential
downpour Of rain.
2. Later the couple is entrapped in
cave on the island, when an earth
quake causes a mass Of dirt and rock
to cover the mouth Of the opening
Within their living tomb, they cling
together, frightened by the powerful
throbs which shake the very heart OF
the hills
3. Escaping from this threatened
death the two have barely time to es-
cape TO the open sea when a terrific
volcanic explosion breaks the little
island into a thousand bits, and II
slowly sinks into the sea, while a
downpour Of scalding steam and
whlte-hot rocks keep the refugees in
fear Of their lives.
4. Finally. aboard a boat where
they think safety lies, they are at
tackled from within by the men who
besieged them on the island, and
from without by horde Of cannibals,
who are seeking shelter from the vol
cano. Fearful OF the consequences
II the savages get aboard and being
unable to keep them off in any other
way the men on the ship hurl sticks
OF dynamite among the naked bar
barians on the RATS below. 1t is
needless To say that these efforts OF
defense are successful.

Johann Handtmann of Mandan in an
inflammatory letter to the Nord Da-

kiss them. But that is all France has
to offer Jul young men who are to be

PRAYED women Paris was heretofore
known as the city of the lowest NOR

as SUCH"
Handtmann then proceeds to glori-

over London; refers to "America's
millions of young men who can go to
war n serve as c~annonfodder and
pull the schetnuts out of the fire for
England and France" and concludes
his letter was a description Of the Sc
