LnER,s CoLUMBIA

The latest release from the Incs-
Hart photopIay combination, the fea-
ture for the first half Of the week
at loves Columbia, is a typical Hart
picture
s-Selhsh Yates" gsmbler, saloon
keeper, and dance hall proprietor of
Thirsty Center, is the n ain charac-
ter, played by Hart
, While bending over his faro table
his attention res.s upon the pretty
little scrub girl who has discovered
q forgotten organ in a corner OF the
establishment, and is playing a hymn
Of her childhood. Inspired by the
scene. the vision of a new life is
opened up to the sin-hardened Yates,
and the beginning Of a reformation
in Thirsty Center is inaugurated
The picture Is thoroughly in keep
ing with the high standard Of por-
trayal OF the rough life in the West,
in thd delineation of which there is
no better exponent than William S.
Hart. The scenic effects are eN-
ceIIent, and the work of the sup
porting cast is OF the very best.
IN addition to the main picture the
Hearst-Pathe news serial OF interest
ing events the world over, and a
Billie Rhodes comedy are shown.
For the latter half OF the week,
beginning Thursday. the features will
be Jack Pickford in "Mile-a-Minute

pioneer actors Of the world OF films,

Beverly Bayne, his co-star, provides
a charming foil, playing her role with

effective in contrast with the char

Even more than the usual amount
Of fun and kindly satire is found in
the Douglas Fairbanks picture, 'Mr.
FII-It." which pleased audiences at
CrandaIrs Savoy yesterday, and is
Icing shown today.

his endeavors to straighten out the
love affairs OF his best friend, takes
his place in the family circle

he adopts a family OF poor children,
who incidentally have a very pretty
grown-up sister. A gradual change
comes into the household, and every
ones difficulties are Strengthened out

SAVOY.

To admirers Of William S. Hart,
and their number appears TO be ever
Increasing, the title OF The Tiger
Man." shown yesterday at CrandalTs
Savoy, Is sufficiently suggestive OF
its character.
The locale ot the story Is In he
Far West in the early fifties. Har.s
role is that OF Hawk Parsons. who,
with his band, overtake a caravan
in which are a minister and beautiful
wife. They are almost dying Of
thirst, and, attracted by the young
wife's beauty, Hawk relieves their
thirst from his own supply. Later
he falls in love with her and agrees
20 save her companions II she will
promise TO go away with him alone
Impelled BY a spirit OF sacrifice, the
girl consents, but he is touched by
her strength OF character and re-
leases her, and the story ends as he
makes his way back to the village
to give himself up. This picture will
be shown again tonight

Record crowds greeted a record
picture at Moore's Strand Theater
yesterday, where 'Tarzan Of the
Apes" a filmization OF Edgar Rice
Burroughs novel of the same name,
was shown for the hrst time, locally.
The program was given added in
terest by the presentation OF a pro
logue, staged in a mass OF Jungle
foliage, in which the animal trainer,
V. P. Wormwood. presented Charles
the Great, the famous educated ape.
and his consort, who demonstrated
to the full satisfaction OF the audi
ence that the examples of simian cum
ming depicted upon the screen were
in no degree sxaEgerations OF fact
During the running Of the feature
Charles the Great directs the sale OF
tickets and keeps the line in order
in the Ninth street lobby OF the
Strand.
The story Of ''Tarzan Of the
Apes" is that Of a little English boy
Of noble birth who was reared in
the depths OF an African jungle by
a family of apes.
In such surroundings a remarkable
cast does exceptional work. Gordon
Griffith is frst pictured as the little
boy Tarzan, then Elmo Lincoln as
Tarzan matured. Lincoln will be re-
called as the physical giant who
played the blacksmith in The
Kaiser In Tarzsn he multiplies
the muscularity and daring OF his
impersonation by one thousand. With
the ease Of one really raised among
tree-dwellers, he swings about among
the branches OF the swaying trees,
sometimes alone, sometimes carrying
girl in one arm. With apparent
ease, also, he glays 4 lion with his
hands and ends the predatory career
OF a giant Kafir.
Enid Markey, as the English girl
who leads the rescuing party to dis
covery OF Tarzan in the Jungle, also
does excellent work. as may be said
OF Thomas Jefferson, True BOaTdman.
and many others.
The photoplay is OF a uniformly
high quality, and has been made the
medium OF afording many intimate
studies of African tribal rites, the
depredations Of the slave hunters OF
the Congo, and many other interest,"
ing and instructive phases OF life on
the dark continent
The showings Of ""TarZan- Will be
continuous-With the Hearst-Pathe
news and a Mutt and JeI animated
cartoon-from 10 a m. to IL D. m.
daily throughout the week. Charles
the Great and his sister will present
their de luxe prologue under the di-
rection of Mr.. WormwOod daily at
3, 5, Z, and 9 .. m

without a gangster in It The evaders
of the law are OF the highly intelli
gent class. The leader. who holds
the whip OF exposure to the police
over the head OF the girl who sue
cessfully escaped from the peniten-
tiary, is impeEsonated by that suave
screen villain, Warner orland, while
such screen favorites as Harry Ben
ham, Helene Chadwick, J. H. Gilmour.
Paul Everton, and Ethyle Cooke offer
other portrayas that are equally
meritorious-
The action is swift throughout the
length of the interesting drama, and
the climax is totally unlike the de-
nouement the spectator has been led
to expect. The program IS com
pIeted by the usual diversity OF short
reel subjects On Wednesday and
Thursday the major attraction at the
Garden will be Paralta's latest vehicle

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-Prison ed in wilderness of ice and mid night darkness, cut off by massive glaciers, ignorant even that his coun try had been plunged into the Europ can war, Tony Shannon has come back to civilization the first of the s,tefansson party, that set out three years ago, to arrive in safety from the fearful and perilous expedition te the Victoria Islands.
