THEATRES
"Sky Pilot at Strand

A human-interest story backed up
by dramatic incidents which climax
in a mad cattle stampede in The
Sky Pilot" which will be shown for
a three day engagement at the
Strand theatre, beginning today.
The story is taken from Ralph
Connor's book of the same title.
King Vidor, as director of this Cath
rine Curtis production, has faith
fully carried out the sentiment Of
this popular novel and has taken
care that the film version of the
story maintains the comely human
vein as well as the dramatic Incl
dents that mark tho film as One of
the most interesting and exciting OF
the year.
There is no doubt but that the
scenes of the cattle stampede in
which 1000 panic stricken cattle
are seen dashing madly on toward
the form of the helpless little ranch
girl will forever lemajn in the minds
Of movie fans. Fearing that The ex-
cited animals would bowl over cam
eraman and their tripods regardless
of how strong his platform might
be, King Vidor decided to film the
scenes from a pit eight feet in the
ground, ten feet long and five feet
wide. Thus It was that he was able
to picture the cattle veered by the
Sky Pilot from the PROSTATE
body of the crippled ranch girl.
John Bowers plays the part Of
1.-THE Sky Pilot" with Colleen
as Gwen; David Butler as the
ranch foreman, and others in the
cast are Harry Todd, Kathleen
Donald Macdonald and
James Corrigan.
The production is an Associated
First National attraction.
Larry Semon has a new and subtle
vein Of comedy in "The Bakery"
will be shown at the Strand
theatre today that elicits smiles
than outlaws.

they come into the bay to spawn n
tn not only take an undue share
of the present supply, but cut OIL the
future supply.
Another phase of the subject is
the claim that with the drift net
fishermen" scooping in such quanti-
ties of fish which are shipped to the
big cities the wasteful process is
presented of local retail dealers right
here in the fishing district being
compelled to have fish shipped here
after it has first been shipped to one
of the big cities.
The owners of the craft making
UP the fishing fleet at Fortescue
claim they have thousands of dollars
invested in boats. etc, and their
business is put in jeopardy by the
use of the drift net.
