Gunplay as Science
Is Depicted in Play
Riders of Vengeance

In the days of the unfenced west
gunplay was a science rather than
a hobby to be trifed with in idle
moments. The man with the quick
est gun frequently lasted longer
than the man with another cheek
to turn. Gun lighting is a blot on
the escutcheon OF the great west,
but there was a time when it was
the first law Of the men who rode
the range. There have been times,
within the memory of many of U.s.
when gunpIay was the only way
to settle a feud.
Gunplay at its height as a science
is depicted in Riders of Ven
geance., a Harry Carey success
which is to be shown at the Rialto
theatre on Sunday.
Many OF the players supporting
'the star in his latest Universal
photodramas were gunner of the
old range. all OF them actually rode
for their daily bread and sometim es
fought for pleasure.
Realizing that he could not truth
fully depict this genuine story of
the old west without showing the
Eunplay as it really occurred, Jack
Ford. the director, talked to men
who lived in the town of Mesquite.
where the story is laid. and who
saw some of its dramatic unfolding
60 years ago
The story is brilliantly dramatic.
Harry Carey is himself. In the
cast are Seena Owen, Alfred Allen.

aid. Jennie Lee and CIita Gale.

roundings and into the studio Of
a prize fight promoter. And right
here what was a nice little bucolic
warn becomes a big drama full OF
surprises, thrills and cheers.
Charles Ray shows new and
delightful versatility. Incidentally,
he exhibits a wallop in his good
right arm that would do credit to
a professional. The climax OF the
story is in the prize rtng-an hon
est-to- goodnes ring, with resined
canvas, preliminary bouts between
regular pugi!ists, and 500 frenzied
fight fans in the bleschers. Here

1t is just as needless as it is dan

against calomel, harsh pills, sickening
oil and salts. Cascarets give quick
relief without injury from Constipa-

while you sleep. removing the toxins,
poisons and sour, indigestible waste
without gripping or inconvenience.
Cascarets regulate by strengthening
the bowel muscles. They cost so lit

U. S. Clashes, Cabrera Asserts.

Mexico City. Aug. 22.-An impor-
tant step toward the adoption of
measures tending to prevent. clashes
between Mexico and the United States
was taken last night wnen Luis
Cabrera, secretary of the treasury and
generally regarded as the mouthpiece
of the present administration, stated
in press interview that the Mexican
and American governments should
sign an agreement for a reciprocal
border guard service. Ygnacia Bonil-
las Mexican ambassador at Washing
ton, according to Senior Cabrera,
would be "eminently fitted" for con-
Quoting negotiations with this purpose
in view, since ne was a member of
the Mexican commission which met
United States representatives, at At
lantic City in 1916 to discuss this plan
during the Pershing expedition into
northern Mexico. Senor Cabrera was
himself chairman OF the Mexican com
mission.
No DISTINCTIONS Now.
According to the secretary, the diff
ficulties which prevented the adop-
ton of such an agreement at Atlantic
City were due to the fact that the
American delegation wanted the
agreement signed Immediately while
the Mexican commission held out for
a withdrawal of the Pershing expedi-
tion before reaching an agreement.
Senior Cabrera pointed out that at
present such a difficulty would not be
met with. since the early withdrawal
Of the Eighth cavalry now pursuing
bandits in the state OF Chihuahua was
expected. Comment in other official
quarters tended to point out that with
reciprocal border service to eliminate
further clashes, with the present gov
ernment bending every energy to pro-
tect foreign property and with con-
gress about to take up the oil ques-
ton, the case of Mexico should be
solved quickly"
