"Fantomas"

Marcel Allan, who with Pierre Sou
vestre wrote the famous Fantomas de-
tective stories which William Fox has
made into a most thrilling motion pic
ture seriel-now being shown every
Saturday at the Lyric theatre-was
horn in Paris September 49,, 1885, yet
the blood in his veins is half Ameri-
can. His mother was born in Baton
Rouge, La, as was his mothers moth
er. His mother went to Paris when
she was II years of age and there
married Adams father.
Therefore Allan has a great affec-
ton for America. He has been TO the
states fifteen times and he declared
in an interview in Paris that he
would like to make his home here.
He was particularly pleased with
the fact that William Fox purchased
twenty-six volumes of his famous nov
els, for he believed the Fox film COM
pany would do justice to his widely
read stories-knowing the vast facili-
ties Fox had in New York, and know
ing the care and ingenuity with
which Fox pictures are made.

comedy, free from cheap trickery and
slapstick. There are no exaggerated
situations, aimed too directly TO

wholesome idea and spontaniety. In
others words here is a picture which
has a story. told with dash of pep

Eva Novak and Harry Gribbon in
leading roles play with plenty of spir

forts to hide her baby and the fact
that she is married to the athletic in
structor, are rich with humorous pos
sibilities.

"Erontier of the Stars

Tom Meighan in any kind of a pic
ture is a welcome visitor; but Tom
Meighan as a two-fisted East SIu-
gang leader in a red-blooded picture
like The Frontier of the Stars is a
screen treat. The picture is at the

crook in 1.-The Miracle Man." in which
he scored personal hit. He's a

who has spent her whole life in IA

hardened Buck" and in the end she
makes a man of him.
A thrilling fire scene, in which Mel.

the role of the girl; some knock
down and drag-out fight scenes; and
film trip to Coney Island are a few
of the entertaining features of the pic
ture. Charles Maigne directed the
picture in his usual excellent style.
Miss Binney, sister of the well known
Constance of Realart fame. is charm
ing to look upon, and the rest of the
supporting company is a good calibre
The picture is Paramount. 1t was

Attacked by Attackers.

E. R. Jackson, who is now in Mena on a weeks visit with his family, had thrilling experience with trio of hijackers at Fl Dorado last week, which proved costly to him. The Mena man was awakened to find g Hashlight playing in his face and a big revolver pointed at him as he lay in his sleeping quarters. His daugh- ter, Lulu, sleeping in an adjoining room was also awakened and while she called for help "Jack" squirmed out of bed and secured a small revolver which unfortunately failed to shoot when fired. The robber, who had Mir. Jackson covered, shot at him, but missed, tho the bullet crashed into a house across the street. Before the armed visitors left they carried away Jacks" gold watch, $500 diamond ring he was holding for security, and about $50 in money. Despite his ex- perience E.

Fine Patch of Sweets"

That sweet potato patch located on the three lots north of the Commer- cial Club office is attracting lot of attention of passersby, even farmers stopping and admiring the fine stand, thrifty growth and the careful cultiva- ton that has been given the patch. The sweets" are the property of J. J. Mershon, who has been assisted in the cultivation by William Kluck, tho much of the work, except the first blowing, bedding up and two cultiva- tions since, has been done by MT Mer- shon after his regular work hours as a carpenter. It will be interesting to note the yield that will come from this patch, which doubtless will form a basis for a larger development of the sweet potato growing industry.

Monday morning when the secre- tary of the Commercial Club reached his office, W. P. Mount and s. F. Fite were awaiting him for the purpose of taking him to task for bragging on that sweet potato patch north of the club office. Each claimed that he had a patch that so far outclassed the one down town that there was no compar- ison. Such sort of rivalry is fine, and if carried to the limit will put Mena and Polk county on the map as a sweet potato producing country. How ever, there are some folks who want to know who planted and took care of Pink Mounts patch.
