Rialto to Show
Drama of Real
Life on Sunday

King Spruce" Holman Days
fascinating narrative Of the Maine
forests, will be presented in picture
form with Mitchell Lewis as the
star at the Rialto theatre Sunday.
A forceful. quality drama of real
life, king Spruce" produced by the
Dial Film Company and distributed
by w. w. Hodkinson, is another tri-
umph for Mitchell Lewis, the peel
less actor of rugged types. Bril-
liant direction, supplied by Roy
Clements, and splendid characteri-
cations by q splendid cast are note
worthy features of the production.
The star is introduced as Dwight
Wade, q Maine college tutor, whose
love for Elva Barrett, daughter of
a lumber king, brings him north
with the close Of the college season
to press his suit for her hand. But
Barrett has other plans for Elva
and orders Wade from the house.
In order to keep Wade away from
his daughter, Barrett offers him a
place in his employ through Colin
Mcleod, his superintendent. Wade
accepts and leaves for the woods
with Mcleod but later is dismissed
following an alteration with Nc
Leod. Wade, however, joins forces
with Dodburn Ide, who has timber
interests adjoining Barrett's.
Arriving in the woods, Wade finds
Barrett and his men in the act of
burning out family of sQpatters
on his land. With the family is Kate
Arden, reared by strangers since
childhood. With the house in flames
Kate rushes out with a torch and
sets fire to Barrett's land. Wade
attacks Barrett when the latter
tries to shoot Kate. Later Wade
learns that Barrett is kate's father,
and after promising to take her to
his home Barrett schemes to marry
her OF to Mcleod.

MUST KNOW ROPES
TO LASSO LIONS
SAYS JACK ALLEN

you have got to know the ropes,
as it were, If you are going to
lasso wild animals" declares Ma
jor Jack Allen, king Of the Jun
gles," who expects to start shortly
on an outdoor nature filming ex-
petition to South America. ITO
shoot a lion dead is one thing: but
to catch it alive is another"
This former major in the United
States army catches lions alive,
using nothing but rope and one
or two chains to hold the animals
in case the rope should break.
Major Allen thinks nothing of
meeting q mountain lion bare
handed. In fact, with a 100-foot
rope for a weapon, he has roamed
the woods and mountains of the
United States and Canada, with &C.
casional trips to the jungles OF
India and Africa. catching big
game for the ZOOS of the United
States. He has orders from 20
illogical gardens, menageries and
natural history museums all over
the world for lions, tigers. leopards,
wolves, Wildcats, bears, pumas and
various other kinds of animals.
Kills Only In Defense.
Major Allen never kills animals
except for food and in self-defense.
Although the wild animal roper
has never been known to be afraid
of any animal. he has great dis
like for snakes. Really. Major Al
len should not be classed as q
hunter, in the accepted sense OF
the word. He is a nature lover at
heart. He seems to have . feeling
of genuine friendship for wild crea-
lures and claims that he prefers
them to many men. because animal
friendship is based on real love,
while that of men is very frequent
ly Influenced by money. Major Al
len hates to kill animals under any
circumstances and finds no pleas
ure in hunting with a gun. He
lassoes them with a rope. OF
course, the animals are not always
Just where he wants them. Some
times he has to track them for
days before he comes within rop-
ing distance. Controlling the wild
creatures at the other end Of a
1O0-foot rope brings thrills and
pleasures that are impossible to
explain. ~4
Not Dangerous Until
Roping animals is not as danger.
GUS as it sounds, and looks when
pictured on the movie screen-just
| as long as the rope does not break
II it should, you must get into
quick action, for the tightned
moose about the animals -necl

creature finds his wind cut OF, IL
This fighting blood. is up. Major
Allen explains that he feels per.
fectly safe in such an emergency
because. Of his knowledge Of ami.
man psychology. There is a mo-
ment when every animal becomes
confused; he is cowardly and I'M.
decided. That is the time to throw
a rope over his head and pull II
tight over his neck, but not tight
enough. however. to choke the cap
tured creature to death-only- tight
enough for safety's sake.
Major Allen will be the special
feature at the Palace theatre, Mo.
line, starting tomorrow. for three
days. Major Allen will give q very
interesting lecture on how he cap.
lures wild animals of the jungles
without the aid Of a gun.
