VICTORIA-"Rough and Ready" with Viii
liam Farnum. Directed by Richard stan
with Ed Sedgwck Fox film,
Ever since william Farnum par
ttcipated in the big fight which was the
feature of THE Spoilers" he has been
assigned to parts which have required
a further exhibition Of his pugilistic
abilities. In this sort of character
work Mr.. Farnum is a past master, and
in Rough and Ready" he is at his phys
zeal best. The screen has never shown a
fight which is so realistic as the one
that forms a feature Of this production.
Despite the fact that actors have been
accused of taking terrific struggles,
there is real danger involved, and
lovers of the athletic will find much to
admire in the scrap" between Alphonze
Either and Mr.. Farnum.
This production has been given a
realistic outdoor setting. The snow
scenes are Especially attractive. The
story is not highly original, but it
serves the purpose of supplying the
chief participants with opportunity to
display atheir individual talents
William Farnum as the sturdy man
of the big camp, whose creed is truth
telling, has rarely been seen to better
advantage. In the acting of Alphonze
Either. formerly a stock actor here,
there is shown a thorough understand
ing of film art. Violet Palmer has a
small part as a miners daughter. and
Jessie Arnold is an habitue of a dance
hall. David Higgins does effective work
as an aged miner.
The Son of Democracy" is an added
attraction.

From Saturdays Daily

Two hundred people, mostly from
Kenosha county, firted with death just
after eight O'Clock this morning when
the east-bound passenger train on the
western division of the Chicago and
North Western Railway went head ION
into a freight line on the main line
of the division just west of the switch
ing yards at Balm station. Fortunate
" no one was killed, but more than
a score of passengers on the train
reached the city nursing more or less
serious injuries.
The accident is claimed to have been
caused by the fact that the freight
train had not cleared the track for the
switch and the fagman had not given
the engineer of the passenger train a
sufficient warning to stop his train in
time to prevent the collision.
