For the scene of the big fight at
the crossroads, between the rival
gangs of workers, so wildly describe
ed by Rex. Beach in his story, The
Iron Trail" nearly a half mile of
the tracks of the Wharton & North
ern Railroad were torn up and re-
placed. and over a quarter of a mile
of new roadbed was constructed to
intersect the main line of the road,
while the cameras were grinding for
this United Artists production. which
will be the feature at the Crescent
theatre beginning today.
THE Iron Trail' is one of the
most powerful of Rex Beach's
stories and the adventures of the
hardy builders of the Alaskan rail-
road. that he describes in it are SO
vivid hat the realest of realism was
needed to portray them faithfully on
the screen. The usual camera trick
cry fell far short of the requirements
of the mighty vastness OF the great
outdoors so forcefully conveyed i'm

THEATRES


An unusual story of the under
world and the far-reaching fingers of
the police detectives will be seen at
the Ditmas Theatre, when the new
Goldwyn ~photopl3y, "The Invisible
Power" will be shown there for
three days. beginning today.
The story was written by Charles
Kenyon, author Of the famous AM
erican play. "Kindling." The direc-
tor>was Frank Lloyd, the man re-
sponsible for Goldwyn's great sue
cess. Madame x" The romantic
and virile looking House Peters and
and the beautiful Irene Rich play
the leading parts in an all-star cast.
De Witt G. Jennings was recruited
from the Broadway stage to play the
role of the chief operating detective,
q type he has often played on the
stage.
THE Invisible Power" is not con-
cerned with crooks in their crooked
ness. but with the attempts of some
of them to reform and the difficult
ties That a past record" places in
their path. The sacrifice of the re-
formed thief's wife, (Irene Rich)
add poignant pathos to a ~splendidly
acted and logical story.
House Peters has perhaps more
of an International favor about him
than any other prominent man of the
screen. Mr.. Peters is English born
but has lived in Australia, South At
RIGA, Canada, and finally the United
States. He is one of the highest
salaried players in the industry.

her Dad, awaits him. Buck finds
that Dams ungovernable temper a
led him into a row in which he a
shot the town bully. And he comes
upon Dan nursing the very man he
shot. Dan tells Buck he'll come to
the Cumberland ranch later. Buck
decides there in only one way to
get Dan back. He takes it-takes
a chance with death. He calls Dan
q low hound and slaps him in the
face. Then he gallops away to the
ranch, knowing that Dan will follow
to kill him. And when Dan arrives
Buck let's Kate get between him and
Dams ready gun But he accom-
plishes his purpose.
Some folks contend that such
men as Buck come only from the
wild and woolly west. Wherever

And in the end Buck. still taking
a chance with death, brings about
so great a change in Whistling Dan
that the wild spirit leaves this man
and when the wild geese again be-
gin their fight northward their
"honk, Monk" finds no answer in
Dams heart. He remains on the
ranch with Kate. seeking no mortal
to conquer; o do bad men seek
to kill him. He is tanned.
Mix does some thrilling riding in
the picture. His horse Tony is GER
tainly a wonderfully knowing
animal.
The picture will remain at the
Strand theatre for two more days.
Mix's supporting company is an ex-
cellent one. and Lynn f. Reynolds
has directed the picture with great
skill and fine taste.

had to be actually enacted in all
their details.
For the actual railroad construc-
ton work nearly two hundred la
borers were employed under the
supervision of a force of construction
engineers and the removal and re-
placement of the tracks was carried
on successfully without interfering
with train schedules.
In addition to the actual building
of approximately three-quarters of
a mile of practical railroad. a block
tower had to be especially built and
signal equipment installed to safe
guard the workers.
Realizing that in every commune
ty there are a great number of peo-
pie familiar with the practical side
of railroad construction. the pro-
ducers of The Iron Trail decided
that every incident pertaining to the
building of the road should be true
to life and every scene recorded by
the Gamer is of actual work per-
formed by trained railroad workers

At the Strand

No n who will attend the show
ing OF the Tom Mix picture The
Night Horsemen," at the Strand
theatre today can complain that
there was any lack of action, of
thrills, of stirring entertainment
and for those who like a touch of
heart-aching romance Tom Mix
supplied that, too. This picture. d.
rected by Lynn f. Reynolds, is go
good and so fast that at it's close
one feels a yearning for more.
The picture, produced by Fox, is
immensely human and the character
contrasts have been finely and deep
ly drawn. Each character stands
out like a bas-relief. Take Buck.
for instance. Buck is the ranch
foreman He is in love with Kate,
but he is not so dumb as not to
know that Kate loves Whistling
Dan (Tom Mix)' and that she will
wait for him to return when the
wild geese come back in the autumn
And when Dan does return, Buck
seeks him to bring him back to the
Cumberland ranch where Kate, with

Board rule may be entirely different.
The majority of the changes eff
