 On the same bil, are two comedies The leading one is 2 Mack Sonnet mixture of pretty girls and laughs.

Tremendous Realism
 In, Walsh Photoplay
 at Loew's This Week

One of the most realistic scenes ever nut in a motion picture is a fight for life against the raj ins waters of wes' ern river. shown in ''The Beast" starring George Walsh This is a scene which, hui for the athletic prowess of the star, might have been vastly more realistic than intended.
 When the Walsh company went to Ari- zona 10 film the picture 1t was found that the river was at it's height
 Tn accordance with the scenario specl- fications, into the raging waters plunged Walsh with struggling girl in his arms. The swift, swirling current bore them down stream. It was hard swimming even for Walsh Two wet heads bobbed above the flood. Then occurred what the scenario didn't call for. The swimmers struck a rock and were separated. Down stream was swept the girl, shrieking in earnest Walsh pursued as vast as he could swim, caught a lock of her hair and held on. She struggled madly, mak- ing it difficult to help her; but the hero s and his final rescue of the heroine were great according to the breathless watchers on the bank.
 The scene is one of the biggest thrills of a photoplay that is filled with intense moments and which shows young Walsh in a most compelling role. "The Beast will be shown at Loew's Bijou Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,.
