THREE MUSKETEERS" MADE ON
WORLDS BIGGEST STAGE

On the biggest motion picture stage
ever constructed, Douglas Fairbanks
made his celluloid version of Dumas
immortal story, THE Three Muske-
teers," prepared for the screen by Ed
ward Knoblock and directed by Fred
Niblo who also directed Mr.. Fair
banks in The Mark of Zorro"
The first shots taken were of the
Queens boudoir. the set for which
was erected on Stage No. g." which
is the largest motion picture stage
ever built and which is located in
Hollywood, Cal.
All of the feminine players, gor-
geously costumed. appeared in these
first scenes. They include Mary Mac
Laren in the part of Queen Anne of
Austria; Marguerite De La Motto. as
Constance; Barbara La Mari, char
acterizing Milady, and all of the la
dies in waiting.
The Queens room is an near the
exact reproduction of the famed bOu-
doir as it was humanity possible to
make it. Every proportion and detail
is historically correct even to the pan
cling of the walls which was all hand
painted with exactly the same pic

Der
Both the Brunton studio and the
Fairbanks studio were used in film
ing this remarkable tale Between
seventy-fve and one hundred sets
were used in the entire picture, all of
them exact counterparts of the origi-
nal rooms and buildings they repre-
sent.
For action, THE Three Muske-
teers" excells anything Fairbanks has
ever done. There are sixteen duels
fought, in one Of which Fairbanks as
D'Artagnan, and the three musketeers
engage eight rivals. This feature will
be at the Auditorium theater begin

HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at Interna-
tionaI Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both Of Animals
and Grain, Won Admiration Of
Judges and Spectators.

One Of the most interesting sights
at the International Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. As the Cana
dian section Of these parades came in
TO view, and as 1t passed around the
ring, there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that I'm
this section there were the wonderful
/ Clydesdales, the Belgians and the Per-
! cherons that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes The province
/ of Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
/ play Of Clydesdales and showed In a
number Of classes, and in every class
they got in the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that Of the
University Of Saskatchewan, showing
Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale, in
class of p and taking second In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as Conyngham Bros.
of Wilkesbarre, p. L. James Of EastOn,
Mass, and George Chiett Of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an i'm
ported animal.
The following are some Of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter
national, in a fair fight and no favors.
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations; championship for American
bRed Clydesdale mares; reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for SOuthdOwn sheep sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the ap-
plause given the Canadian sections Of
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that inpelled II to greet with the full
Sst appreciation the efforts Of the win

The purpose that Canada had In

that the war had not created devasta-

interest in the matter Of production
and that 1t had ability to produce in a
manner that would bring it champion
