The railroads are but the deliy-
erymen taking the goods from the
producer to the consumer. OF late
they have been taking the goods
into their own treasury, for the
farmer has in many cases not been
able to get back the freight charges.

THREE MUSKETEERS

! C411o4A al SAASSS
more than once that the
Movie Stage is as yet IN It's
infancy. There appear a
thousand pictures on the
dead level OF mediocrity. Not
unlike a vast plain in win
ter with a tWillght horizon,
nothing but drear monotony
in the foreground or IN the
distance. The eye tires and
the soul sickens. Endless
melodrama, buried in the
nauseous play of sex-motlf,
loathsome in the false luml-
nation of the human pas
sions, or CHASTITY with the
tawdry coarseness OF slap
stick comedy,-thes are but
too often the dramas OF the
screen. But now and then
there flashes, like a meteor
across the silence Of this
mimic world a picture-play
with all the elements Of gen
Jus. Such a play is the
s'Three Musketeers," and
the man who has electrified
it with true histrionic talent
is Douglas Fairbanks.
Alexander Dumas, the
elder, that strange waif out
Of the West Indies, a COM
pound of the Caucasian and
the African, wrote the i'm
mortal work from which the
visions on the silver screen
aaae their origin. A work
which, for nearly a cen
fury, has ranked easily
among the first half
dozen romances W h ! c n
have enchanted the mind or
enthralled the imagination
of civilized man. A work,
too, without a suggestion OF
impurity. A work that
deals with all the powerful
forces and motives and I'M
pulses and desires that act
uate human endeavor, and
still can be read by children
of seven OF seventy with
equal delight and equal IN
noXion.
The decentralization is not
perfect-far from it. But
Douglas Fairbanks fairly
scintillates as D'Artagnan.
His own genius is allied to
the genius of Dumas, and
the two bridge over the gaps
and weak spots of the screen
dramatist. The supporting
company is unusually good.
Louis XIII is excellently
done; Cardinal Richelieu
entirely acceptable; the
Grey Cardinal, true to the
life; the Queen, a faithful
portrayal of the lovely but
unhappy Austrian princess;
Constance, a most charming
creature, worthy Of the love
of D'Artagnan; Athos, Por-
thos, and Aramis, the ideal
three guardsmen: and Lady
de Winter as fascinating
and beautiful as we might
expect. The mise-en-scene
is wonderfully correct; and
the costumes and manners
all that the imagination has
conceived as appropriate to
the time and place.
