Farnum at the Empress

al ktC
 All the world loves a fighter. That is why William Farnum, who is seen at the. Empress today in "The Heart of a Lion," is one of the favorites of the silent drama. The distinguished William Fox star has literally smash ed and bruised his way to photoplay fame because of the strength of his hard right arm.
 None of Fsrnum's battles have been "stagey" The famous player has battered his way to victory each time. Now he is pitted against man still more rugged, and probably as powerful as himself.
 This man is Walter Law, who is cast for an important part in The Heart of a Lion" Law has acted in many William Fox productions and is counted as one of the most herculean members of the film pro- fesson. He weighs 225 pounds, stands 6 feet 1 inch night, has a 37- inch waist and a chest measurement of fl inches. His entire build is greater than that of his adversary, but Farnum has never quaked ill the slightest before superior size. So if you want to see a real ham mer- and -tongs, up-and- at -'em bout, | watch for the picture. The fight is sure to be the best in the history of the photoplay, because both of the | contestants have a hankering for the 1 vigorous.
