Carey Shows Just
What Is Right in
Story and Dress

Harry Carey has reVolutioniZed the
costumes worn by players in western
photodramas Instead of the old
fashioned chappes, the Topping SOM
brero and the conspicuous brace of
shooters, the Ace of the Western
drama dresses just as he does when
he is riding his own ranch in the San
Francisco Canyon in Southern Cali
fornia.
The Freeze Out" the stars latest
Universal photodrama which will be
seen at the Colonial theatre today, is
Harry Carey's idea of modern west
orn story. He asserts the modern
West is just as romantic as the
swash- buckling West Of fiction.
In an ordinary blue suit with a sim
gle gun tucked into the front of the
trousers Carey believes that a man
can be just as formidable as though
he ehcumbercd his legs with sheep
skin chappcs. Girdled his waist with q
small arsenal and was constantly in
tcrrupted by the necessity Of holding
on to his enormous sombrcro.
For a hat, Carey wears an ordinary
Stetson His only capituation to the
exaggerated style of the old West is {
pair of conservative boots into which
he tucks his trousers TO keep them
from getting tangled up with the stir
rups.
THE Freeze Out" is a vigorous
story that gives Carey every chance
to get over flashing bits Of humor and
sma shing drama.
The supporting cast includes Helen
Ferguson. Joe Harris, Charles Lee
Moyne, Lydia Yeamans Titus and j.
Farrell Mcdonald.

ment of the bills for fighting the re-
cent forest fires in that section. re-
ports that the total will be about
$50,
1t was decided that these bills
should be met by the State and the
town of Rangeley in the proportion
of 40 and so per cent, the State hav-
ing the smaller expense, owing to the
fact that while the larger area burned
ever was in the Forestry District the
largest number of hours work was
done in the town of Rangeley.
This was on account of the fact
that a change of wind was driving
the fire toward the Oquossoc section,
which has many summer cottages
and the most of the fire fighting force
was concentrated to head it off from
destroying that section. The fire in
the Forestry District area would at
the same time burn itself out. on
reaching the lake.

The Election Returns

The returns from the Constitution
al amendment election OF last Mon
day came in faster on Wednesday
than on Tuesday. Sagadahoc county
was the first to file complete returns,
followed by Piscataquis county.
The returns are not tabulated by
the secretary of State, who receives
them, according to law. but are arr
ranged for the use of the Governor
and Council, which will later attend
to that duty. The Governors procla-
nation on the subject of the result of
the election will follow.
The indications shown by the re-
turns on Wednesday were the same
as on the previous day-that the alb
sent voting amendment had a chance
for passage while the highway bonds
and Spanish War veterans bonus
seemed doomed.
