Displaying almost human instinct, one hundred horses turned over to the remount station by the First New York cavalry when that organization was transferred into machines gun companies. demonstrated their disap- pr0val of the reorganization by stam- peding, relates the Brooklyn Eagle. The horses paid nO attention to the mili- tary discipline. but broke down the barricade of the remOunt station and galloped over to the picket line of the First cavalry. their old rendezvous. Many of the horses took positions In front of the tents of officers and sol diers who have ridden them for years. An alarm was spread and the cavalry men were compelled to corral their former dumb associates and drive them back to the remount station.

The trouble with the American pub tic is that they have heard and read 50 much of the great war and its hor- rors that they think their boys are go- ing to be continually In the midst of bloOdshed and constantly in discom- fort. and they concentrate on the ter rible side of 1t and ask.

 It is natural enough of course. A man writes a book about the war. takes one incident. and another. and another. makes chapters of them. with who read hts book read . succession of horrors, and they think it is all like that.

SIX SHOOTER ANDY"
 AT FOX'S THEATER

1 Tom Mix sure is the original rapid 1 fire kid, and any doubt that may have 1 existed about that was dispelled for l all times yesterday at Fox's theater, 1 where he is appearing in the ripping l western melodrama, "Six-Shooter 1 Andy" It is play that is unusual, to say the least, and will give anyone a, clear insight into what the early l settlers and makers of this country had to go through out on our great western praHes. But more than that 1t shows the type of man of big heart and mind and body who did the
 hazard ous work of taking the wilder
 ness away from the bands of outlaws
 that roamed the great west. Here is
 the case of the organizer of robbery
 and murder who sits in the chair of the sheriff and who is only busted from it when he meets a man who is so worthy and honest and clever with his gun that he is a match for the whole organized band of corruption. Tom Mix is surrounded by a splendid cast. Enid Markey and the clever young actors and actresses who are
 her brothers and sisters-many of
 whom were seen here in the Fox
 Riddle" pictures-and Sam De
 
 a splendid cast to enact a splendid
 picture. The eighth chapter of Ven
 eeance and the Woman" which is
 also being shown today, is by far the
 most interesting and exciting chapter
 of that serial that has yet been shown.
 and it is difficult to see how Billy
 Duncan and Carol IIalloway ever es- cape from the terrible accident with which they meet at the conclusion of the episode. Mutt and Jef in The Mud Bath have a unique experience at a health sanitariun1 that is good for a lot of laughs, and the Pathe News shows many interesting views of up-to-the- minute events in the world around us.
 Tomorrow. nights show will be one Of the most entertaining that has been shown at Fox's for some time. The feature is a powerful crook play, "rhe Hunting of the Hawk" in which William Courtney has the leading role. Mir. Courtney is famous for his cha ra cterization of underworld folks, and made a big name for himself in Kick In" He is said to surpaSs that very credible record in "The Hunting of the Hawk" Many splendidly se- Iected shorter subjects will complete the show. There will be but one show. Mondays feature will be ''The Lone Wolff baffling drama by Her bert Brennon, in which Hazel Dawn, the Broadway beauty, plays the lead.

"F1o-Fio" is now at the Cort theater, New York, where it has had q remarkable run of many months. The production includes remarkable cast, effective scenery, gorgeous gowns, a perfect 36'' com cdy chorus, and fashion parade which has never been equaled on a New York stage. The story has to do with an imitation count, a beauti- full corset model, an American heir ess, Mosher &5 Simpson, dealers in lingerie and proprietors of the Bride Shop, and the him ble-footed and fingered Pinky and Aloysius.
