Fairbank. Last Time at Lamsra


 The public throughout the country has come to look for exceptional things from Douglas Fairbanks. His work has set a mark in the cinema that has never been surpassed. The Man from Paint ed Post which is being shown for the last time today at the Lamara, is a typical picture of surprises and Fair
 banks stunts Cowboys, shooting
 scrapes, thrilling adventure, cattle "rustling', pistol competition-all the things that have long since become as- sociated with the west in the early days are incorporated in this feature which
 was written by Douglas Fairbanks himself. being adapted from Jackson gregory's Silver Slippers. the story which was so widely read in the ma gazines recently.
 Fairbanks portrays the role of man who has become a crack shot with a six shooter and who hopes some day to avenge the death of his sister who was killed by a gun man when the hero was a mere boy. His success has gained for him the respect of all the cattle own- CTS and the hatred Of all the cattle ''rustlers' for his speciality in running ''rustlers" to earth. What wonderful material for a rousing Western photo 1 play, Suffice it ot say that the versa | tile Fairbanks takes advantage of ev- 1 cry opportunity and this presentation 1 will rank as the best work he has ever 1 done before the camera.
 The Burton Holmes pictures of travel l augment the feature in a very pleas ) ing manner.

taken to prevent Socialists and "all

ism as an injury to our government
1t is time we did a little thinking.
Members Of a city council may
not be 'intellectuals," familiar with
the various text books on Social
ism, but they are men who have
bumped up against the Socialist

1t is time some of our COmpla-
cent "progressives." who are afraid
to voice an opinion on Socialism.
