MURRETTE.
Anita Stewart makes a startling
leap on horseback over broken
bridge above a chasm, taking great
risks, in a scene from the First Nat
ional feature, 'In Old Kentucky" in
which she stars. This great American
classic will be shown the last time
today at the Murrette theatre.
The bridge is draw over rav1ne
more than 100 feet deep. But the
draw has been wrecked. In the story
it is necessary for Miss Stewart to
leap over this broken draw to reach a
man who is lying unconscious in the
road far beneath her, where the william
has placed dynamite boom beneath
him.
The horse on which she Is mounted
at first refuses to make the jump, but
she starts again. aud squirting 1t at the
utmost speed, rides straight for the
broken bridge. The horse rises to
the spur and makes the Jump. But 1t
reaches the opposite side by such a
narrow margihHthat broken bits of
the bridge are kicked from beneath its
feet into the chasm beneath.
Miss Stewart admits that she was
terriblyfrightened, but had every con-
fidence in the horse, as it had made
greater leaps than the one taken in
the picture, though never such dan
gerous one.
This thrilling scene is clearly shown
in this picture, which is the story of
an untutored girl, who after risking
her life for her friends in the noun
tains, goes to the city where she wins
laurels for herself.
