Real Main Street in "The Conquest
of Canaan"-Conquered by Thorn
as Meighan in Picture After Many
Thrilling Experiences

There's a Main Street" that runs
through Canaan" the mythical city
which Booth Harrington wrote about
in THE Conquest of Canaan" In
Canaan were some who were respect
able and others who were not. Once
you were placed in the latter class. it
was next to impossible to live down
the disgrace.
Here, the respectables looked up to
Judge Pike as their leader. His word
was law. The unrespectable accepted
him because they knew that he
owned their homes, their saloons and
had their lives in the hollow of his
hand.
AS the title suggests, Main street
in Canaan was conquered and by two
of the unrespectables. Joe Louden
and Ariel Tabor. Ariel was FORUM
ate enough to inherit money which
took her to Paris. Joe could not
bring himself to conform with the
Main street conventions which
aroused such prejudice within him
that he was forced to leave town to
carve out a better career.
The development of this interest
ing plot. which brings out the bigness
as well as the pettiness of a middle
size town. is illustrated in the Para
mount perturbation of THE Con-
quest of Canaan" which will be
shown at the Strand theatre today.
Thomas Meighan. as Joe Louden,
stars in the picture and Doris Ken
yon in the role of Ariel Tabor plays
the leading feminine partially.

ties in behalf of "a Small Town
Idol"
The entire picture has now been
completed and, under the title OF
Home Talent" it will be released
through Associated Producers, Inc,
in this city in the near future.
Phyllis Haver, supported by Mil
dred June, Kathryn Mcguire, Harriet
Hammond and the corps of the fair
est of Mack Sennett's feminine forces
will be seen in episodes laid in the
slave mart of Ancient Rome. Here,
it is asserted, will be disclosed ade-
quately for the first time the beauty
of the Sennett girls. Each moving
episode has been invested with the
artistic charm of a finished Able
portrait. His use of lights has long
since given him celebrity and this
skill he has been able to bring to
bear on his subjects" even while in
action.-Adv.

MURDERER Of BOYS
IS DENIED PARDON
Settino de Saints Must Hang
for Killing Two Young
Italians.

| MARION. Ill, February 11.-Execu-
tive clemency denied, Settino de San
tbs thirty-seven years old. was
awaiting death on the gallows at the
Williamson county Jail here today
for the murder Of Amiel Calcaterra
fourteen years old. and Tony Hemp
hill, seventeen, both of West Frank
fort, last August
| The double killing led to the anti
| Italian riots at West Frankfort, dur
| ing which one man was killed, more
| than a score injured and property
| valued at thousands of dollars de-
stroyed. Gov. Small last night refused
| a reprieve.
| De Santis' wife. to whom he had
neen married only a short while be-
| fore his arrest. has refused to come
from West Frankfort to tell him good
bye, according to the authorities
De Saints has offered no statement
concerning the crime, police say, and
he has borne up we'll under the strain
| of his approaching execution.
According to an alleged confession
by Frank Blanca. who committed
suicide while his trial was in progress
| IN December. he paid De Saints
5000 for killing the boys Blanca was
| said to have confessed he planned the
| death Of Calcaterra because the latter $
sister. Mary Calcaterra, refused to
marry him. and it was believed Hemp
hill was killed in an effort to conceal the
crime.
The bodies of the boys were found
| in shallow grave in the woods near
Royaltop August 4. The throats of
both had been cut. and Hemphill had
been shot in the head.
| An attempt was made to lynch De
Saints, in whose company the BOYS
had last been seen. and when the au-
| thorities spirited him away the mob
directed its attack against the foreign
population of West Frankfort.
Illinois militiamen finally quelled
the disorder.
Several days after the murder Blanca
| was arrested in Bellaire, Ohio.
Both Blanca and De Saints were
| miners. The latter formerly lived in
Bedford. Ohio. coming to West Frank
