moved over to the door and finally
got the jimmy firmly between the
door and casing. Leverage was ap-
piled by one unusually strong. The
door commenced to sag. Ferreri,

out in what position the man would
stand as he jimmied the door. Fin

The bullet struck the burglar in

At the Fort Armstronr.

Dorothy Dalton achieves a re-
markedly successful return to the
west in THE Crimson Challenge"
her latest Paramount photoplay
which was screened at the Fort
Armstrong theatre to an apprecia-
tive audience last night.
A western picture in every sense
of the word, it is packed with
thrills, opportunities, since it calls
for her to portray the courageous,
fearless type of woman who leads
the settlers of an oppressed valley
against a man who preys upon the
people-rustles their cattle and per-
petrates all kinds of outrages. And
at the conclusion she beats him in
"a twogun battle, ridS the valley
OF its oppressors and incidentally
avenges the murder of her father
at the villains hands.
Jack Mower, who established
quite following with his work in
Cecil B. DeMille's Saturday Night,
is leading man. Frank Campeau,

one of the three "heavies." the 9TH

At the Spencer Square.
When David Winter attended a
social function in Los Angeles and
was pressed into service turning an
ice cream freezer, he unconscious
ly stepped into the path which
leads to the shadow screen. OF
course, it was mere coincidence,
but Katherine Macdonald, the
American beauty, was looking the
field over for leading man to play
with her in her latest production,
and the script called for man who
looks good even with the homely
ice cream freezer as a prop. Be-
fore Winter had finished turning
the freezer, Miss Macdonald ap-
peared on the scene and instantly
knew she had found her leading
man. Result: David Winter will
be seen opposite Miss Macdonald in
her latest production, Trust Your
Wife" now playing at the Spencer
Square theatre, for three days. And
the American beauty believes she
has made a real find The new
leading man is a St. Louisan and is

elusive mercantile houses in Los
