"THE HONOR SYSTEM"
AT THE OAK
FRI. AND SAT.

Much has been said about the
value Of the sensational photoplay.
"The Honor System" which will be
seen in this city. and in the gener-
al human sympathy aroused from
this angle one might lose sight Of
the other great and distinguishing
qualities OF this master drama which
II. A. Walsh directed and which Will
liam Fox is presenting.
Eliminating the great moral story
the powerful record Of human love
and sympathy. and judging It from
the viewpoint Of spectacle. one Is
forced to the conclusion that II 10
one OF the finest pieces of realism
the motion picture stage has yet
seen.
True. no great cities tumble. and
no heavens fail. and the bowels Of
the earth are not exposed to view.
but this photoplay shows more real
flat on the earth human 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 Ari-
iona and shows Il first in his selec-
ton OF types. He positively uses no
Bergen IN. - 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 when
the cowpunchers and rangers Of one
town dash madly on their mustangs
and cayuses to the rescue Of their
pals in another border town. II has
been raided by Mexican bandits. and
Mr.. Walsh's scene makes villas Co
lumbus raid loook like . game Of
croQuet. The world has been
brought to the begs Of Lariat By
Joe Stanton. the hero. In . whirl-
wind Of passion they ride across the
desert. the American flag at the
head. and save the town.
