THE CONQUEROR' ON
 FOX'S SCREEN SUNDAY

Sunday brings to Fox's theater the latest spectacular masterpiece of the screen, "The Conqueror," in which Americas favorite dramatic actor, big, virile, Bill Farnum, makes his bow in his first big, virile eight-part screen production. A fact which lends particular interest to the pie ture just at this time is that it was directed by Raoul A. Walsh, the same genius that staged The Honor Sys- tem," and two of the leading char acters played in the same picture, as the governor of the state, and the dis honest Senator Harrington. '"The Conqueror' has to do with the great southwest, in the most interesting period of its developement, when General Sam Houston was in his prime, and ruled that section of the country with an iron hand, which, in deed, was the only discipline that his subjects could be made to under stand, as they were a heterogeneous crew made up of Indians, half breeds,
 Mexicans, and outlaws from all over the world. Those who have seen
 both pictures declare unhesitatingly that in "The Conqueror" William
 Farnum's work surpasses that of his
 brother, Dustin, who was seen here last week in The Spy" although this is a hard statement to believe. Pro-
 duced at a cost of $500, 100000, six months were consumed in the mak- ing, and eight thousand people were used in the picture. Among them were five hundred Sioux Indians, se- cured through the Department of the Interior from the Pine Ridge Agency, and for whose safe and sure return a bond of fifty thousand dollars had to be deposited with the government agent. Among the other actors are hundreds of real Mexican soldiers, Texas Rangers, and United States Cavalrymen. Thousands of dollars worth of ammunition was used for the big battle scenes. and as a re- suit they are the most realistic and thrilling that have ever been made.

 l Katherine beckoned me out of the room, and we crossed the hall into l the one where she had slept or had ! tried to sleep earlier in the night. 1 "Now comes the problem of getting her out of the house in the quictest
 way possible she said practically.
 "Tell me. how much do you want your husband to know of this affair ?"
 ''I wish he didn't need to know 1 anything" I said, miserably. You see, he hasn't a suspicion that there 1 may be something questionable about l my fathers business, or even that my ] father is in any danger. Dicky has 1 the best intentions in the world but

THE FIGHTING TRAIL"
 NEW FOX SERIAL

"The Fighting Trail.'' the Greater Vitagrap aph serial which will start at Fox's theater on Monday. is the most remarkable picture ever filmed. It is the first all outdoors picture serial ever made and contains more thrills to the foot than anything ever seen. It is set in wild mountain and desert scenery and every thrill is prodced naturally, there being no trick walls, sinking ceilings or anything of the sort in it. In fact, there are very few in- terior scenes in the entire fifteen episodes, those that are shown being mere flashes. There is at least ninety five per cent of ourdoor photography, something that never was heard of be- fore.
 How Mr. Duncan and Miss Hollo- way. the leading players of The Fighting Trail' survived many haz- ardous stunts they understook in making this picture is a wonder, be cause that they must have taken their lives in their hands every time they went out to take scene.
 There is action every minute in the picture, from the first episode to the last, and every person who sees it will be justly enthusiastic about this big serial. Those who are not thrilled will be persons whose emotions do not respond to the startling things of life.
 There is plenty of fine riding, fine shooting and superb acting in Tho Fighting Trail" and it will set a new mark in motion picture serials

Unless one is perfect fool Gone kind of perfection few of us lay claim to) there are some subjects on which one changes ones mnid as one grows older.
 One on which I have changed mine is the point at which youth merges into middle age q used to place that at thirty-f1ve Another is whether children should be spanked or not. (I'll let you guess which side of that fence I am now on.)

 Perhaps if you did give in for a day or two you'd be better?" I sug- gested.

THE IRON RING"
 FOX ATTRACTION

Supposing you were a wife of two
 years and your husband had always
 confided everything to you and all at
 once he refused to tell you anything
 more about his business, on the ad-
 vice of his new partner. Suppose. in
 addition that he began to be called
 away frequently on long business
 trips, leaving you all alone. Wouldn't
 YOU be apt to feel just little bit neg
 lected under the circumstances? |?
 This is the state of affairs that Bess
 Hulette is up against in The Iron
 Ring" the new World picture which
 opened at Fox's theater this after noon. Like all other situations. this
 one has two sides in the developm ent
 of which is shown in graphic way
 tn etemptations that beset young married woman whose husband has put his foot on rung of the ladder of success The picture, which is in five parts is presented by splendid tri- star cast, including Gerda Holmes Arthur Ashley and Edward Langford But "The Iron Ring is by no means the only good thing on the program, for daring Pearl White will also be seen in the eleventh cha pter of that gripping serial, "The Fatal Ring" in which she comes mighty near losing but let the picture itself tell it. It would be a shame to spoil the sur prise, And in addition there is Charlie Chaplin, the funniest man on earth, who returns by popular de- mand in one of his greatest two-reel comedies. "Police!" To help matters along, there will be shown new special Fox two-reel comedy, featur- ing the daredevil cow boy, Tom Mix in a new rapid-fire Mix-up. The Pathe News will complete the show.

What Katherine Did to Get Rdd Of
 Mrs. AlliS.

Mrs. AllS. "well!"
 Mrs. Allis' voice was defiant, but her eyes, I saw, held traces of sullen fear as Katherine Sonnot and l came back into the room where she lay. l stepped quickly to the other side of the room, mindful of my promise to Katherine not to interfere with her management of the drug-maddened woman, who had tried to throw acid into my face and then. after being overpowered by Katherine had threat ened to send my father to his death by revealing knowledge she pretended to have.
 Mrs. Graham has left me to deal with you,'' Katherine told her firmly. That's one blessing at any rate.' | Mrs. Allis interjected. The very sight of her makes me ill., l The venom in her voice told me 1 how little I could hope from the woman's forbearance if she really did possess knowledge dangerous to my fathers safety, and made me glad l that Katherine, not I was dealing ! with her.
 i And I've nothing to add to what l | told you before," Katherine went on.
  l Even from my position across the room I could see the defiance fade from Mrs. Allis' eyes, and terror creep into them.
 "Oh-h-!' she moaned. Not to Bellevue! Some one will be sure to recognize me there. They'll get me sure there!'
 Practically a Prisoner. Into Katherines eyes there leaped a light of understanding. Across her face swept a look of relief as if she suddenly saw her way out of the diff fculty. She bent over the moaning woman on the bed and took her hand | with the tender sympathy which is so characteristic of her work as a nurse.
 My poor woman" she said. ''I don't wish to be unduly severe with you, but I must see that you are put under restraint until you get the ef- fleets of those drugs out of your sys- tenn. But fortunately I have an al- ternative to Bellevue I can offer you, if on your part you will agree to keep silent as to the things you know and imagine you know
 "Name it," Mrs. Allis said laconi- cally.
 "A rich woman whom I once nursed," returned Katherine, land who has always chosen to believe r saved her life. has the disposal of several rooms in one of the best pri- vate sanitariums for drink and drug addicts Tn the country. It isn't many miles from here. I can arrange for your entrance and treatment there by telephone, and we can motor there in three Or four hours.
 Your treatment will cost you noth- ing. but I warn you that you will be practically a prisoner until I give the word for you to be released. You must also tell those in charge of the sanitarium that you are entering the place willingly. You'd better think 1t over for few minutes, but remember these are the only terms I'll make with you. Either this or arrest and detention in Bellevue or in jail.'
