CONVINCING REAL,sM m
"rHE HONOR svsrEM'
Border Town Raid and Life In
Latest Big William Fox Film
Thrill the Spectators.

Much has been said about the
value of the sensational photo
play, 1.-The Honor SYSTEM" which
will be seen in this city Oct. ~,
and in general human sympathy
aroused from this angle one
might lose sight of the other
great and distinguishing qualities
of this master drama which r.. A.
Walsh directed and which Will
liam Fox is presenting.
Eliminating the great moral
story, the powerful record of hu-
man love and sympathy, and
judging it from the viewpoint OF
"a spectacle, one is forced to the
conclusion that it is one of the
finest pieces of realism the mo-
ton picture stage has yet seen.
True, no great cities tumble,
and no heavens fall, and the bow
els of the earth are not exposed to
view, but this photoplay shows
more real, flat on the earth hu-
man existence than any film
story that has yet been made for
the amusement of the public.
There are scenes depicting the
frontier life of Arizona which are
without parallel on the screen
Mr.. Walsh was born and raised in
Arizona and shows it first in his
selection of types. He positively
uses no Bergen IN. y.) cowboys
and, after all, that's a good start
His men of the west breathe
snort and fight western fashion
And they love that way too.
The most moving scene is wher
the cowpunchers and rangers Of
one town dash madly on theil
mustangs and cayuses to thu
rescue of their pals in another
border town. 1t has been raidet
by Mexican bandits, and Mr.
Walsh's scene makes Villas Co.
lumbuS raid look like a game O
croquet. The word has beer
brought to the boys of Lariet b,
Joe Stanton, the hero. In /;
whirlwind OF passion they rid,
across the desert, the American
flag at the head, and save tn,
town.
