when a Man Sees Red" is the
stirring short story by Larry Evans
which created a sensation in the
Saturday Evening Post, under the
title of "The Painted Lady"
when a Mann Sees Red" came be-
fore the public with an unusual in
dorsement of the national board of
review of motion pictures. At a speci-
al showing the report read "The con-
sensus of opinion of those present was
that this was one of the strongest and
most striking photoplays recently pro
duced, and the acting of Mr.. VILLAIN
Farnum authentic and memorable"
The picture itself is wonderful. In
the almost superhuman fight between
Luther Smith civilian Farnum) and
Sutton &c. Raymond Nye) one feels
his breath coming in short gasps it
grips one; it fairly makes one CULVER
with excitement.
Many of the scenes of when a
Man Sees Red are taken amidst the
picturesque surroundings of the South
Seas. A vessel is wrecked on a rocky
shore, amidst moments of realism
most remarkable. In all it's features
Mr.. Fox has spared no expense to
make it the greatest picture in which
Mr.. Farnum has ever appeared.
Douglas Fairbanks
During the making of his latest pro
duction for the big Four" when
the Clouds Roll By" Doug decided
that one scene would be improved if
he performed a standing back somer-
sault. But he had never done such a
stunt and did not know quite how to
go about it. For days and days he
practiced in his gymnasium at the
studio and incidentally got some
rather severe falls. Still he would not
give up. And when the day finally ar
rived for the filming of this particu-
lar set" he did his back somersault
without the slightest bit of trouble.
Dorothy Dalton
Half an Hour" one of J. NJ. Bar
rie's delightful tales of English life.

The story concerns the daughter of
a bankrupt lord who marries wealth

boorish way does love her. Finally
angered by her cold Indifference, he
loses his temper and insults her. She
decides to leave him and fees to her
old sweetheart who is about to leave
for Egypt. Fate intervenes in a most
startling manner and what takes
place in the ensuing half hour
events which change the whole destiny
of Lady Lillian-make a dramatic
story capped by a climax that is
wholly unanticipated.
