EMMETT DAL TON To
APPEAR At STRAND

Tomorrow starts at the Strand one
Of the most unique entertainments
that popular theater has ever Of
fered
1t is the personal appearance Of
Emmett Dalton, the sole surviving
member OF the famed Dalton Gang,
and the screening of Beyond the
Law the screen adaptation is seven
mighty reels of Dalton's own book
the only authentic history of the Dali
ton gang ever published.
Emmett Dalton will appear at each
screening. He will make short and
interesting talks on his life, and the
lives and career OF those associated
with him during the period when the
west was ringing with the name of
the Daltons. He has eliminated all
sernblance of senSationalisna in both
the book and the screen version He
Introduces nothing objectionable in
any sense Of the word in any Of his
talks. 1t is rather the actual presen-
tation of historical data truthfulll
and accurately told. and this en-
HANGED through the personal appear
ance of one who was intensely active
IN its making.
'Reyond the Law differs from any
picture OF this kind now berore the
puciic. It is a biography in anima-
tion 1t explains the reasons for the
organization of the gang. who COM M
posed it, its objects, the working out
OF its career the many exploits in
which they We're participants. The
planning and the schelning, the lead
ership, and how the various difficult
ties were met an doverconae. 1t goes
deeply into the subject, and having
been filmed under the personal SUI
pervision OF Emmett Dalton, on the
exact locations where many OF the
deeds actually happened. it is be-
sides a great educational opportunity,
an entertainment value too great to
be overlooked.
Emmett Dalton, Bob Dalton, and
Grat Dalton-these three. and the
men associated with tlern-ilist nine
men in all-and though one OF the
smallest OF the various crowds which
roamed the west in the days that
have gone, one OF the most feared
and apparently one OF the most
elllsiye.
Then the wonderfully realistic
presentation of .tile last .trick"-the
Waterloo of many an outlaw. With
the Dalton Gang. this happened at
Coffeyville, Kansas, on October 5,
1892, the occasion being double
p1nk ROBBERY, the only time IN the
worlds history where deed of this
magnitude was ever attempted-and
the day that saw the anihilation of
the Dalton gang. and the arrest of
Emmett Dalton to be tried and SEN
teEced to life in prison, of which
term he served over fourteen years
Emmett Daltons talk, and his pic
ture points poignantly and unerringly
to the great moral--the folloy and
uselessness Of crime. and to the end
where it always leads. 1t is the in
evitable. and he proves it through the
little things which happened dur
ing the Coffeyville raid--things not
counted on. and things ever so trivial,
and yet big enough to prove the un-
doing of the gang who had been the
most famous, and the most success
full in American outlawry.
Beyond the Law" will be screened
without advance in prices. The
Strand is urging attendance during
the matinee, as the night perform
ances are sure to be crowded to ca
pacity. The engagement of both Dali
ton in person, and the screening Of
Beyond the Law is positively linz
tied to the three days announced, but
if the urge sent out. by the Strand is
needed, the opportunity will be given
everyone to see the picture and hear
the talk OF Dalton.
