Fox Film Company Begins

 Fox Film Company Begins
 Picture.
 The wonderful Fox Film company is with us. They arrived Monday morning with everybody well and hearty and full of "pep", except one Ed Rosenbaum, Jr., who thinks per haps he was fed German oyster for supper Sunday night at Barstow, Cal. Even the bear, Theda Bara, by name, Git is interesting to know, by the way, that she belongs to Miss Theda Bara arrived in good spirits and began at once to make herself at home by dig ging in the snow and ice. Theda Bara, the bear, has part to play. in this picture, and no uneasiness is felt as to her not performing her part n a way that will reflect credit on the bear family. Twenty splendid looking horses and six Alaskan dogs came along, too, to help make the picture success.
 The company lost no time in begin ming the picture, for at sunrise Tues day morning they were down in front of the old Pierce property on Rail- road avenue and busy with their cam era and using observatory hill for the background. Before noon they left for Greenlaw's mill where they hoped to get some good snow scenes. The picture is well under way now and it is expected that many scenes will be taken at Lake Mary, which location holds out many advantages for the needs of this picture. The hills which surround Flagstaff will also be brought into play. Among the leading members of the Fox Film company who are at the Commercial hotel are Ed Rosenbaum, Jr., business manager; Edward De Saint, director of company; Mrs. De Saint, assistant director; Miss Colleen Moore, leading lady, who is accompanied by her mother; Walter De Coursey, MT. F. Baker and Mir. A. E. Weller, camera men; Walter Williams, Mir. Mix's personal trainer; Bob Pattee, master of properties. There are also a num- Der of Mexicans and Indians with the company.

 Interesting Sign.
 If one is interested in interesting signs stroll down Railroad avenue and wander into the Commercial hotel lobby, look above the entrance way to the dining room and read:
 MIX CAFE
 Tom Mix, Manager Operated Under the Personal Super
 vision of Mir. Mix.
 All complaints must h, made in person to Mir. Mix, between the hours of 8 and 9, in the back yard at 15 paces (Leave name of next of kin).
 Then a glance into the dining room will show that it has been turned into a private dining hall. Two long ta- bles have taken the place of the many small ones, and here the company en- joys home-like meals served in q way and prepared by a cook the company brought from Los Angeles. The forty-two members of this company at meal time give the of being well patronized cafe. All the members of the com pany are enthusiastic over the pros poets of being able to produce won derful picture from the scenes that Flagstaff and its surrounding coun- try affords. The picture to be film ed is "The Wilderness Trail" and it is expected that it will take not less than three weeks to complete it.

 New Slogan for Flagstaff.
 If when going down the street you are pleasantly greeted with "F. A instead of the accustomed Hello, just remeber that Tom Mix is respon- sible for this new slogan, and if per chance, you feel that any explana- tion is necessary, will you please ap- peal to him? In this connection it may be said that Tom Mix has a right to establish most any slogan he wishes since it is fact that he has signed a new contract with Will liam Fox for one year at a salary said to be larger than that of the President of the United States.
