Thriller, Thursday. German Sub
marine Invasion, Pathe Extra!
Lovers Of thrilling Western picture
dramas have a big treat in store for
them IN The ConQueror" big eight
reel photoplay starring William Far
mum the great screen favorite. This
is one Of the best pictures that Far
mum has appeared in: it is splendid
ly done with lots of action and sus-
pense. The photoplay is remarkab BILE
and was taken in Texas. William
Farnum has not been shown in a
more satisfying or a more interest
ing part than in the role Of Sam
Houston in The Conqueror"
Down Texas way Sam Houston's
name is family by-word. They all
know the history Of this strong and
fearless man, raised among the Cher
okeeS who fought his way through
ignorance and savagery all the way
t0 the top. But perhaps they don't
know the reason. Maybe they think
il was plain everyday red blooded
ambition. Well. it might have been
partly that, but great deal of it was
"a girl. What kind Of girl do YOU
think was able to win this man Of
the wilds-to make him "A Cons

tory in all its vivid details
This picture has been given big
ness of treatment that marks it far

TWO GOOD PERFORMANCES
Given Wednesday Afternoon and
Evening by Walter Mains Circus


The old reliable Walter j.. Mains
circus gave two performances on
Wednesday 70 large crowds at the
Trotting park, Augusta and everyone
was pleased with the shows. The
circus train was very late in arriving
from Bath. where it showed on
Tuesday. but the small boys and
girls as well as a goodly sprinkling
Of older people patiently waited and
with the same old eagerness watched
the process of unloading the cars.
Not the least interesting part of the
operation was the Intelligence shown
by pair of elephants, which were
used in handling the heavy teams
and assisting them up Rines hill,
where the footing for heavy hauling
is not the best.
The tornup condition of Water
street, where the paving is being
done. caused a change in the an
nounced route of the parade, it be-
ing confined wholly TO the residential
section and passing through streets
that perhaps never before saw a cir
Gus parade. Z The parade was not
large but was good, the horses and
people making neat appearance.
The route was up State to Bridge, to
Winter, to Sewali to Western avenue,
to State and to the park. It was de-
layed in starting, being finally sched-
uled for noon. and again crowds II
people patiently waited and were
satisfied.
The big tent performance was ac-
cordingiy so much later in starting.
but everybody had a good time and
il seemed as though practically ev-
erybody visited the side show before

Daily Kennebec journal., 1918-06-20

The usual crowd was on hand yes
terday morning to see the circus
train unload and the thing that
seemed to create the most interest
was the use Of elephants in the work
Of getting the heavy wagons up
Rines hill. These big wagons had
three or four pairs of horses attached
to them and the hill was big prop
osition to them, but when two of the
big pachyderms would get behind
a wagon and with their heads against
it help by pushing the horses would
start and pull the wagon to the top
Of the hill without stopping. A man
connected with the shows said that
in reality the elephants were doing
the greater part Of the work, and
that the teams on the big wagons had
got so used to having the elephants
help them that it was difficult to get
a team started up hill with a loaded
wagon until they were sure that the
Dig hrutes were helping behind
