of the country, and his admirers flock to any theatre showing a new "Bill' Hart photodrama.
 In "The Silent Man" Hart will have the role of miner who has made a rich strike" on the desert and has come into a small border town to record his claim. His rich ore attracts the attention of the pro prietor of gambling resort, who immediately seeks to rob the miner. This is accomplished through the con nivance of a Government Clerk in the land office. Then follows q spirited, vigorous and uncommonly sensational fight on the part of the miner to recover possession of his claim, during which he is called up- on to take the law pretty much into his own hands. There is a very de- lightful love story running through the action of the play.
 "The Silent Man" is picture that has thrills aplenty, a wealth of pie turesque and novel settings, much comedy of the aughter-compelling kind and action, action, action!

"WILD YOUTH" TAKEN FROM BOOK BY SIR GILBERT PARKER

Cameranran Paul Perry has pro- duced some of his very best work in J. Stuart BlacktOn-Paramoun pie lures in the newest, Wild Youth, ;" which is to be shown tonight and tomorrow night at the Coliseum Theatre. Many of the exteriors are of rare beauty, while the appealing little Louise Huff, who always pho tographs extremely well, is at her winsome best Other players in the all-star cast are Theodore Roberts, Jack Mulhall, James Neill and Adele Harrington.
 The story, which is an adaptation from Sir Gilbert Parker's novel of the same name, deals with the age. old call of youth to youth and the love of a young girl-wife for a neighbor while her old husband - fully old enough to be her father
 grows more and more cruel with his increasing jealousy Matters seem inextricably tangled when quick turn of fate leaves Louise a widow For a while the young lover is ac cused of the murder of her husband

 The quick knockout stuff, however, gave him the chance to make money on the stage, something that usual ly goes to champions and not to aspirants. Dempsey was offered a tour meeting all comers at good money. He accepted. and for few weeks added to his bank role by this kind of work Now he has been matched with Champion Willard, the real money is beginning to flow in. Next week he is to start a six week theatrical tour under a contract that calls for $25,000 Then comes he Willard scrap, for which he is to get $27, 800
 Few Others Piled Up Coin
 All in all, it looks as if Dempsey pile will amount to something like $75 ,000 before he becomes champion, if the figures are computed correct ly.
 There were a few other fighters who accumulated lot of money and were never champions. One of these is Packey Mcfarland. But they are few and far between.

This Jack Dempsey fellow who is to fight Jess Willard for the world s heavyweight championship July 4th presents something new in pugilism in the way of money getters.

 Dempsey's case is unique in many ways. When he came East from California, slightly less than two years ago, he didn't have a nickel
 Dempsey did have something oi far greater value than a limited amount of wealth. He had health, wonderful fighting ability and flu ture that seemed certain to see him rewarded not alone in money, but in prestige, for the people who follow boxing and know it didn't need more han to see him go into action in a gymnasium to discover the clas! of which champions are made.

BIG SCENIC EFFECTS MADE FOR WORLD PICTURE THE CROSS BEARER"

"The Cross Bearer" will be shown at the Palace tonight. This picture play has Cardinal Mercier as it's principal parsonage and Belgium as it's setting.
 One of the big scenes of "The Cross Bearer" is an authentic re- production of the To vain Cathedral, in which Cardinal Mercier is cele- bratmg mass when the German fore es rush in and take possession, eject ing the congregation, piling up the seats and setting fire to them and afterwards making a barracks of the edifice
 This scene was built alongside the Worlds studio in Fort Lee. Upon an adjoining lot a street scene sev- eral blocks in length was construct ed upon a scale sufficiently large to permit the passage of artillery and great numbers of men and women. On the night before this street scene was to have been 'shot" a heavy wind storm arose and flatten. ed the structure completely, besides carrying parts of it long way into the interior of New Jersey, so that it became necessary to rebuild the set entirely.
 Montagu Love plays the role of Cardinal Mercier in The Cross Bear er,' thus adding another role to his historical impersDnations.
 There are no episodes of carnage in this picture. which, however, con tains a number of military scenes. such for instance, as the German soldiers entering Louvaine and talk ing formal possession of the city. Many of the interiors, reproducing various rooms in the Cardinals resi- deAce, are of regal magnificence, showing furniture, tapestries and paintings of very great value.
 These interiors were made follow ing photographs of the real Cardin- ars Palace, and there was no spar ng of expenditure in this or other directions
 The love story of "The Cross Bear err concerns the beautiful young ward of the Cardinal and an officer in the Belgian army.
