AT THE THEATERS

Tom Mix, the daredevil of the
screen, woh will be seen as Jere
Lynch, only son of a family of feud-
lists, with the courage to fall in love
with the daughter of the enemy, when
William Fox PRESENTS "The Feud" at
the Liberty Theatre on Sunday has
lived more stories of adventure than
he has yet had time to present on the
screen.
Tom Mix was born in the South
west when that section was rife with
the spirit of lawness1ess and was rails
ed as cowboy there. He has been de-
putty sheriff, state and national en-
lforcement officer, and a member of
the Texas Rangers. He was member
of the Rough Riders during the Span
ish-American war and later was Chief
of Scouts in the Philippines. He also
fought in the suppression of the Box
ei- uprising in ChinR
The adventure which Mix prizes
most highly was the hunting trip
on which he acted as guide to The
odore Roosevelt. The friendship es-
tablished on this trip continued till
the end of Roosevelt's life.
Mix first appeared on the screen
solely as daredevil, but quickly
showed acting ability which won him
serious roles. He has appeared as
star in about twenty Fox productions,
among the more important of which
are "The Speed Maniac" Rough
Riding Romance" "The Wilderness
Trail" Fighting For Cold" ''Hell
Roarin' Reform" "The Coming of
the Law" "Mr. Logan, U. S. A." and
''Durand of the Bad Lands"
In "The Feud" Mix has the best
role in which he has been seen. He
really has two roles, which he dis
tfnguishes by marked histrionic abil-
ity, in addition to several bits of dar-
ing horsemanship.
For the first time in the annals of
photoplay, moving picture audiences
are offered, film telling a fascinat-
ing and interesting story, every foot
of which is made on Alaskan soil.
The life of adventure which the
two pals lead takes them through
wild forests abounding in beautiful
mountain streams, up the steep snow
clad slopes of giant SUBMITS, over
the tops of colossal glaciers, and into
a real fight in a typical northwest
dance hall.
"The Girl Alaska" is indeed a uni |
que picture. Each scene as it unfolds |
itself discloses a new thrill in scenic
beauty. The difficulties encountered ,
in the photographing of this unusual
picture were stupendous, but all the
care exercised and the pains taken in
its preparation are we'll compensated |
by the marvellous beauty Of the fin !
ished product.
The plot is the desire for gold in
the hearts of the hero and the hero
inc, and the life of adventure they
lead in the wild north country. This
forms logical basis from beginning
to end for the display of the natural
beauty of this enthralling country,
which is now shown on the screen
for the first time, in all it's incompar-
able splendor.
''The Girl Alaska" will be the at |
traction at the Liberty Theatre on
Tuesday and everyone who sees it |
will have something to talk about for
weeks and months to come,
Don't think of missing it.
