 AuTn TRA|LERS

American consu1s in all parts of the world have reported to the State De- partment on the possible market for motor truck trailers manufactured in the United States These reports show that his country is far in ad- vance of all other countries in the use of this economical aid to high way transportation, notwithstanding England was first to adopt the prin. ciple of trailer transportation and there are about a score of trailer manufacturers in Europe. located in England, France. Italy and Germany.
 The United States, with about sey- enty-five trailer makes and probably oO,OOO trailers in use, leads the world In this new industry.
 Use of trailers by the Aemrican. French, English and Italian armies during and after the war. and the sub. sequent sale of much of this equip ment, helped to introduce trailers in France and Belgium, and it is expect ed return to more normal exchange rates will open a good market for American makes.

 WILLIAM DUNCAN

there is such a contesr-a contest in which both participants revert to primitive principles and methods. Vitagraph has visualized this vivid tale of the North by Curwood and made production which stands alone in its power to enthrall and incite the interest and enthusiasm of an audi ence. It is to be shown at the Lyric theatre on Thursday and Friday.
 As Phil Weyman. William Duncan is compelled to resort to physical at. tack to save the honor of the girl he loves. His fight with George Holt as Arnold Lang. treacherous enemy of the Adare family, is one that will be long remembered by all beholders. Ii was, in fact, a fight that both actors accustomed as they are to the hard ships Of photoplay production, will remember. There was no sham, nc holding" of punches. When it was completed to the directors satisfac tion both men were willing to call il a day
 This great scene is but one of ma ny of the exciting high-lights in this production There are others just as vivid.

apown on the Farm"

Mack Sennett's Down on the Farm" regarding which there has been no end of exceptionally favora- ble comment since its issuance by United Artists Corporation. will be the feature at the Lyric theatre on Wednesday giving the people of this community the opportunity of witness ing a comedy production that is mak- ing film history at popular prices.
 Astonishing in the extreme is the wonderful manner in which Sennett succeeded in training the birds and beasts of the farm to act the leading roles in this production. A dog. a cat, COW, flock of turkeys. ducks. geese, and chickens. all lead them selves to parts in the production in a way that has never before been -ac- complished. The work of these habit ues Of the farm is of such a calibre that every audience becomes amazed at the manner ill which they perform.
 "Dcwn on the Farm" is an excep- tioral feature and has been a sensa- ton iT every community in which it haG appeared It is not a matter of wonderment why United Artists de- cided to release it, since it surely is in excellent keeping with the best that is being produced for the lovers of amusement.
