only with his craft but with the en-
tire citizenship OF the town.

son, ito the manner in which they
abuse property. They do no con-
structive work, they plant no trees,
they will not care for trees already
planted. they keep up no repairs
they abuse property until every
time a tenant moves out the owner
has to pay about half OF the rent
money received in making repairs
so the place can be rented to the
next man"
It is Mr. Ferguson's opinion that the
tenants in town have contributed
much themselves toward the rents

The Girl from Nowhere"
Is One of Seasons Novelties

The Girl from Nowhere" which is
to be the main offering at the Star
theater next Monday and Tuesday is
n of the seasons novelties. The
beautiful Cleo Madison and the dis
tinguished actor, Wilfred Lucas, are
the featured players.
The scenic background of this pic
ture is set in the majestic and rugged
mountains of the northwest.
Here amid all this beauty Of the
great outdoors is enacted an unique
drama Of many startling and unique
the mountains a beautiful young wo-
is found wandering alone and be-
reft Of her memory. Excitement, sus-
pense, mystery and the supreme ques-
ton as to who she is fill the FIVE reels
in which The Girl from Nowhere is pre-
scented with interest of the most grip
ping nature.
The climax of the story is reached
when the villainous Klondyke Jim, who
has forced the helpless girl to the mar
rage altar against her will, is un-
masked and made to pay for his wrong
doing. This picture contains what is
perhaps the most impressive and dram
attic surprise of any photoplay Of the
year. The action leads up to a point
where it seems that heaven itself must
intervene to save the beautiful girl
from the arms Of the bestial brute she
is about to marry. The climax is as
astounding as it is unexpected.

II the clouds will only clear away

only total eclipse Of the green cheese
visible this year to the western part Of
the United States will come Thursday
night from s.57 o'clock, Pacific time,
until 2.33 o'clock the following morn
ing.
The class has calculated that at 8:57
o'clock the moon will begin TO enter the
outer shadow Of the earth, but 1t will
not begin to pass into the real shadow
or umbra until 1903 o'clock. At that
time. the shadow will begin to show
on the rim Of the moon, and will slowly
advance across the moons face until at
1923 the moon viii be completely with
in the shadow. or the eclipse will be
total Until 1905, the moon will re-
main totally %eclipsed. Then the bright
rim viii slowly become visible on the
side Of the moon first eclipsed, and
BY l:2f o'clock the moon will have COM
pletely emerged from the shadow or
umbra. but It will be within the fainter
shadow Of peuumbra until 1882, and so
will not regain its normal brightness

Biggest Fairbanks Production

When Douglas Fairbanks began the

every production tradition that he
knew. This new film was to be Doug
las Fairbanks first release through
United Artists Corporation-the Big
Four"-and inasmuch as it was to be
his bow as 4 genuine independent pro-
Queer and distributor, Doug took the
lid of the cash box"
From every standpoint Of produc-
tion-settings atmosphere, players and
mechanical eQuipment-'His Majesty,
the American" IS reported to outshine
anything that Mr.. Fairbanks has here
tofo~e attempted
The story which was prepared by
Joseph Henaberry. Mr., Fairbanks d.
rector. with the assistance of Elton
Banks was worked over for eight
weeks It deals with the adventures Of
a young New Yorker who lives on *
cjtement. His unQuenchable thirst for
new thrills, leads him across two con
tinents and the settings necessary for
the portrayal Of the story have cost
a tidy fortune.
A Mexican village was built in the
hills surrounding the Fairbanks stud
los in Hollywood. In another place a
complete French town was constructed
and in another section of the studio
a New York tenement street was erect
ted. A French railway line was need
ed so one 1900 feet long and OF stand
ard continental design was laid, the
carriages being the exact duplicate OF
the type in use abroad.
The interiors, like the exteriors, are
said to be a revelation, both as to mag
nitude and beauty. Although the new
stage Of the Fairbanks studios i:
among the largest ever built, it was moi
large enough for a tremendous interior
Of a palace. So one end of the gigan,
tic stage was removed and so feet OF
flooring added to give the proper pro-
portion to this beautiful and imposing
scene. From the back of the main flool
to the cameras measured $50 feet which
makes this probably the largest inter.
ior ever used in a motion picture,
