the Fahay girl was tight
in the grasp Of Mr.. Alb

was at his side. '
Velma Abney, aged 10 years, was,
the only eyewitness to the drown
ings. Terror-stricken and mott
fully comprehending the tragedy,
she saw. the little girl this aftsr-
noon hung to her mother as she,
sobbed out the story Of the acci-
dent She too played heroic role
in the tragedy and only escaped
the fate Of her little sister and IA
ther through the alertness Of
campers who were aroused by her
screams.
When she saw her father plunge
into the river after her two young
er companions, she set ont in Z
rowboat to aid him. In her ex-
citement she failed or was unable
to operate the oars and her clumsy
craft was swept into the river be-

TIGER TRUE" ALIVE WITH
ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE

An unusually interesting story Of
the underworld is found in "Tiger
True" in which vigorous melodra-
matte moments, romance and mys-
terry are combined. 1t differs from
the usual rough-andtumble film
yarn Of life below the surface, for
the reason that it gets into real
character types, with the human
touch frequently in evidence. 1t Is
completely built and has fine grasp
of the subject matter both in scenes
and subtitles.
Frank Mayo has strong role in
the part of Jack Lodge a rich man 8
son who hunts tigers in the jungles
of Africa and goes into the under
world for sheer love of adventure
and excitement. He challenges 1.-THE
Baboon," leader of the crooks in a
district known as THE Tangle," and
humiliates the desperate in his own
stronghold. Mayo gives good &C.
count Of himself in two hand-to-
hand conflicts and also brings out
some real dramatic effects in certain
situations. Walter Long is powerful
in the role of the "Baboon," and
FRITZ Brunette plays the heroine &C
ceptably.
The subject as a whole is stron ger
than the usual run of underworld
stories. 1t has better story interest
than most and gets we'll away from
hackneyed situations.
"Tiger True" and "Trouble Bub-
bles", two-part comedy will, be shown
tonight and Tuesday at the Grand.

..'WONAN IN HIS HOUSE"
;. 4 ( =. >. REX LAST TIMES TODAY

% ne Woman in His House." with
an %all-star cast, which includes Mil
bred Harris, opened an engagement
at the Rex theater last night, is in
every sense of the word screen mas
terpiece,. ranking with the greatest
motion pictures ever made. The
theme, which presents striking ex-
ample of the divine power OF mother
love, is~so thoroughly human that
even the most critical audience can
not fail to enjoy it. Age-old and
time worn, IT. is ever new and really
constitutes Sbulwark of all social
life. In this instance the hands of
genius may be seen in the develop
ment OF the theme and in the rare
and touching emotions, which have
been brought out under the direction
of John Stahl.
Other players who have helped 20
make 1.-THE Woman in His House" a
classic of the screen are Thomas
Holding, George Fisher, Gareth
Hughes, Winter Hall, Catherine Van
Buren, and Bob Walker. Irene Reels
is the author Of this powerful sLieen
story.

DUSKY WORKER OF MIRACLES
Negro Saint, Forbidden to Exercise
Power, Put White Bishop in
Something Of Hole.

Long ago when Peru was Il jewel in
the Spanish crown, there lived in that
country q negro of such remarkable
sanctity that his miracles rivaled those
OF the best white saints Of his tinS.
Fearing for the supremacy Of his race,
tho Spanish bishop took the precau-
ton of forbidding this dark-skinned
saint to give any further exhibitions
Of his power, an order which was &C
cepted with the humility that marks
the real saint Of every age, land or
color. Now, the Spaniards built a
cathedral in Lima, and during the
building Of it 4 worlmen fell from the
topmost scaffolding before the horri-
fled eyes of the holy negro.l 1t was
a fearful dilemma. A seconds delay
and the nan would be dashed to
pieces. "Stdp!" he shouted; and leav-
ing the workman hanging in midair
he sought out the bishop and eX-
planned the situation. If the bishop
did not want u poor son Of Ham to
perform miracles, would he prefer to
come and do the job himself? The
bishop wisely chose to allow his black
sheep to return to the cathedral and
carry on; the workman fell up
again gently to his scaffoIding, and
the work Of building went happily. on.

Social Pleasures.

- Pleasure is one of the great bless.
ings of human life, both for its OVID
sake and for it's direct influence on
character; it therefore demands not
contempt or Indifference, but thankful
recognition. 1t Is not pleasure, but
something evil that may sometimes be
associated with it, that needs wedding
out from our lives; and if sociability
had no other claim than the simple
and Innocent happiness it creates, II
would still demand high place in OUT
regard.

"thc Presidents enemies openly at

do they not suppress the demonstra-

explained to him that in the
United States it is any citizens privi-

THE STRUGGLE" AT REX

Rupert Hughes who has for sew

view stated that the cowboy or West
ern type of motion picture represents
the Olympian mythology of our pre-
sent day and country.
THE cowboy films" says Mr..
Hughes, ARE our mythology. our
centaurs, our gods, the like of which
have gone into the limbo of the past,
but will never become tiresome The
Greeks had their actors who repre-
sented their mythology on the stage

their gods perform. 1t is the same

That the distinguished author is
right, there is no one familiar with
movies will deny. for it seems that
while sex pictures, society pictures
and underworld pictures may come
and go after a brief period of pub

on forever.
In the generations before the adj
vent of the now ubiquitous motion
picture it was the late Colonel Cody
