bride 10" LAST TINE AT
= H. THE REX THEATRE TODAY

Directors Of motion pictures are
apt to find themselves in need at a
moments notice of some of the most
extraordinary object. The men who
write the scenarios have very active
brains, and frequently incorporate in
their manuscripts places and things
that tax the resourcefulness Of the
director.
-. Richard Stanton, who staged
bride 49,, William Fox's great Sc
rial. had a few things to say about
Edward Sedgwtck, the man who.
wrote the scenario, when he came to
the sixth episode. That particu-
lar chapter places the heroine,
shackled and helpless, on the rack in
q ;torture chamber with a vicious tar
antula climbing over her body pre-
pairing to strike.
The serial company was at work in
New York. and everyone knows that
tarantulas don't grow there. Where
will we get one of those COMPOUNDED
insects?"' Stanton asked his company.
No one could suggest solution I'M
til Sedgwick came into the "set."
Sedgwick had an idea and he piped
up: -
'I'll tell you what to do. I come
from Texas, where the tarantulas
grow along the Rio Grande. The
Texas Rangers are all friends OF
mine, and I'll send to the command
ing OFFICER to get a tarantula up here
prCnto."
Sedgwick sent the wire and, sure
enough, within a week a cardboard
box with .airholes pierced in it reach
ed the studios Of the Fox Film Cor
porations In New York. Inside was as
ugly . speciman, Of tarantula as a
Texan ever saw. The scene was
saved for Director Stanton.
The great insect was kept on o
Shelf In the technical directors office
between acts, and everyone kept at q
respectful distance from it with the
exception Of Sedgwick, who knew
ahewsto handle the prize. 5S
The tarantula scene will be shown
90 the Rex Theatre last time tpright.

RESCUING WOMAN FROM FIRE
IS A SURE HAIR-REMOVER

During the filming of Benjamin B.
Hampton's big Zane Grey production.
Riders of the Dawn" WV. Hold
kinson release, Roy Stewart had occa-
sion to bare his muscular forearms.
Explanations went around. Those
forearms, which had won for him box
ing and rowing championships and
were kept constantly in trim were
worth seeing.
But they're so hairy!" protested
a lady visitor to the studio. why
doesn't he use some good remover.
Five minutes later Mr.. Stewart did
the scene where he rescues Claire
Adams from a burning hayloft, in
which she lies helpless, bound and
gagged. In this dangerous stunt his
arms were badly singed, and as he re-
marked while holding them out for
first aid:
II don't need any hair remover on
them now!"
Riders of the Dawn" comes to the
Grand Saturday and Sunday.

More significant than the words themselves, which

About the
Fall Styles

Femininity is the same the world over.
Eagerly and with almost breathless antciDa;
ton it awaits the recurrence Of Fall and ap-
pearance Of the new modes which are truly
as much part Of the Autumnal season as are
light frosts, changing leaves and birds flying
South. Nevness is the keynote Of every dis
play. Lines, fabrics and colors are different
only quality remains. In this store. forever
the same. Your interest will not lag, for
there is so much here to be seen.
The new tailored Suits for Fall are worthy
Of the Fashion Worlds applause. Not severe.
but characterized by dignided simplicity are
the new tailored suits. Other types. obviously
intended for more elaborate occasions, give
much thought to collars, cuEs and landings
Of fur or ornamental needlework. Some lon
ger jackets are shown, but the majority are
Of medium length. The fayorite materials are
Serge, Treotine, Duyet de Lame. Peach
Bloom and Yalama Cloth.
The foremost designers everywhere IN
evolving Autumn Frocks for daytime wear
have stressed the use Of Tricotine, Satin and
Crepe de Chine. singulary enough each pays
especial tribute to floss. wool and metal EN-
broideries as trimmings. chemise lines and
modes giving prominence to tight littleb0dices
and boufant or tuniced skirts are the most
popular. In the wooden Frocks brown shades
lead navy blue merry chase for favor.
Shades Of capudine. oHneybird blue and
rich browns prevail in our Autumn showing
Of authentic Millinery Nodes. Wings. burnt
goose and gracefully sweeping ostrich tanetes
enhance modes large and picturesque Of ortm.
But most favored in fashion circles and pre-
seuted here in infinite variety are the smaller
Hats. Covered with popular Duvetyn Or vel
vet and yelled they are the ideal Hats for In
Vulnerable Autumn occasions
The most desirable Of the new In al other
Autumn costume essentials are fast arriving,
and aside from presenting Apparel values OF
striking character they offer the fashion-loy-
ing woman wealth Of Inspiration and help.
