JESSE JAMES LIFE
STORY At STRAND

In searching the records of the
most picturesque careers in history,
there is probably none that stands
out in any more bold relief than that
of Jesse James. notorious American
outlaw and bandit His life has been
the motif for song and story and
play for years Romanccs have in
corporated snatches of his career
brief incidents in his life have been
handled in innumerable ways. But
it remained for his son. Jesse James,
Jr to bring to the world the life story
of his father. and this has been done
via the greatest agency for convey
ing knowledge--th motion picture
screen.
Under the Black Flag is the
striking title, Jesse James. Jr. has
given to the cinenlatization of the
life Of the man at one time the most
feared in all the world. a man whose
name struck terror to everyone, a
man whose exploits shook the coun-
try from top to bottom. And this is
the production the Strand announces
for an engagement starting next
Tuesday.
Under the Black Flag" IS not in
any manner to be construed as a
blood and thunder" melodramatic
impossible story, capitalizing on ffc-
ton. On the contrary accuracy was
the keynote which guided the con-
struction of every foot of the null
tiple reel feature. Historical spots
on which the most daring incidents
took place. correctness of atmosphere
and environment, memoirs and his
torical data, revelation in thrill
and action.
Every phase of the many sided
character Of Jesse James is revealed
in detail. His daring, his fearless
ness. his bravery, his cleverness. his
cunning. his sturdiness as well as
his tenderness, his humanness. his
genuine manhood. as is evidenced by
the many sidelights which the pic
ture brings into play. Under the
Black Flag is positive sensation.

The court held that the success of

On the other hand. the decision says,
