and thought it was a picture OF
Tom and his wife be it known
here and now that we permitted
Kathleen to stay in merely because
she is a pretty girl and because
Tom looked so much better hold
ing her hand than he would have
all alone by himself. No, they are
not, married not even engaged
Tom, former Rough Rider. dep
uty marshal, scenario writer and
director, is now one of the most
daring stunt" actors in the films.
OF course. all of his scenarios call
for him to play, a COm-puncher, a
good man, or bad man of the
plains and mountains. And no
matter whether he is good or bad
the maidens sit and watch him
with bated breath and admiring,
worshipping eyes, and the youths
with a note of envy in their voice
say. It's great stuff.
And Tom deserves it all, the ad-
miring glanceS and the youthful
words of praise for he is by far
the greatest thrill-produoer on the
screen today. He thinks up most
of his stunts himself and many of
them during the process OF film
ing He will be trying stunt and
a new idea will come. He tells the
director about it and although it
may sound impossible, the camera
is set and Mix always puts it over.
He will never resort to a double,
and insists on doing all the stunts
himself. Like all great actors, he
hates to talk about himself, but
once in a while he will tell a few
stories about the old days in Texas.
When asked how he liked pictures,
/ lie said:
| Il like them perhaps because it's
all so real and natural to me Wish
you'd seen a little stunt that we
pulled off in the last picture. We
took the thing about thirty miles
! from here, where there's a cliff
| that hangs out six or seven hun
! dred feet About fifteen or twenty
feet from the top there's a shelf
| in the rock. A little girl has fallen
over and lodged on the rock
| There's no other way to rescue
her. so l ride up. fasten my rope
to the horses saddle and go down
to the shelf hand over hand. It's
! sort O. dizzy work, that; otherwise
l didn't mind it, because I knew
my horse would stand there on the
edge of the cliff When I'd fastened
the rope around my body, I tool
the little girl in my arms and theI
yelled to the horse to back VI
away from the cliff. He yankeC
us both to safety. See? Oh,
like it: it's great stuff this motor

At the Spencer Square.

When an American inventor of a
"ray rifle" which his government
has accepted. discovers that his
plans have been stolen by German
spies when he is on his honeymoon,
something IS bound TO happen, as
is abundantly proved by Dorothy
Dalton, the popular Thomas H
Ince star. in her latest Paramount
picture, The Kaiser's Shadow"
which will be displayed for the
first time in this city at the Spencer
Square theatre Sunday and Mon
day.
The story of this thrilling photo
play deals with the operations of
German spies in a large American
city and with United States secret
service agents who are committed
10 the aTduOus task of stamping
out the menace of German prOpa-
ganda in this country The picture
is based upon the story of Octavus
Roy Cohen and J. L. Giesy, which
was published as a serial in All
Story Weekly some time ago The
picture was directed by r. William
Neil. under the supervision of
Thomas H InCe.
The photOpIay is deeply myster-
ious in its development and the
puzzle is not unraveled until the
final scene. It is because of this
that only a fragment of the plot
should in justice be divulged, as a
full knowledge of the denOuement
Of the story might tend to lessen
interest in the subject It is suffi-
cient 10 say that the various situa-
tons are thrilling and that the final
solution Of the problems they pre-
sent comes as a complete surprise
Miss Dalton is splendidly sup
ported in this phOtoplay by such
artists as Thurston Hall, Edward
Cecil, Leota Lorraine. Otto HOff-
man and Charles French.
