((DON'T go to history of the
distant past for knight err
- rantry and romance. Go to
the Texas border" said William
Farnum, the noted actor. who has
won the plaudits of millions in
heroic roles of the west and south
west. THE Texas Rangers, those
brave defenders of the border of
Texas, could furnish new Sir Wal
ter Scott with material for a life
time-and q long one.
These men, the Rangers are
made of the stuff of which America
we'll may be proud--a band of the
bravest and boldest men that ever
made history in this country; and
they still are making it in their
modest way.
THE Rangers were organized in
1882, and bore the brunt of the con-
fict when Texas separated from
Mexico. Later they protected the
frontier against the Indians, and
since then have been maintained
from public funds to protect the
border, to which outlaws naturally
drift.
1.-THE Rangers, chosen for their
absolute fearlessness, carried terror
to these outlaws. They were and
are the real gun-hghting men of the
world-men who drew first, who
never wounded. The Ranger who
merely wounded would consider his
duty shirked. They were unrelent-
ing in pursuit and in avenging the
death Of one of their men at the
hands of an outlaw. Their names
and their deeds have made the Dor
der livable. \.
"The Ranger is constantly alert,
constantly on his horse. He carries
only a small pack, sleeps on the
ground with only blanket. He
can track bandit through the wild
est forest or through the crowded
city. His pay is forty dollars a
month and found
In The Lone Star Ranger" a
picturization of the famous novel Of
the same name by Zane Grey, Mr..
Farnum has character that is
fit vehicle for his heroic and emo
tional powers. This photoplay ap-

extremely sensational episodes.
The Omaha Bee, Universal Film
company Screen Magazine which

.theater this week in connection with
Mae Murray's new picture, includes
a variety of interesting and comedy
subjects. !
PICTURESQUE Mont St. Michel, an
island near the coast of France, has
long been famous for its beautiful
old abbey. The camera has caught
all the quaintness of this historic
old spot. A Unconstitutional the
modern method of obtaining finger
prints is given by P. w. Miller, a
finger print expert of New York,
! and a miniature volcano has been
prepared at great expense in one OF
the largest chemical laboratories OF
the, country.
n al subject entitled "a Little Les
son in Gravitation' will give the
spectator a gasp or two and proba-
bly, cause the remark that the cam
era at times is-somewhat of a prevar-
icator. The American Museum of
Natural History, New York, has
provided y unique subject. Based
on years Of experiment and study,
scientists have determined the size,
appearance and habits of giant crea-
lures that lived when the world was
young, and an animated cartoon
pictures a tragedy of years ago,
when huge brontosaurus fell VIC
tim to its warlike enemy, the cera-
toSRiSrus.

the screen stars in this release are
some tiny babies who register with
convincing effect such emotions as
general satisfaction, pins, collie and
hunger. Abe Martins drolleries
and kindly shafts of wit are gener-
ously interpreted through the film.

of the things that made the bill a
little bigger in MARY Regan," the
