HOW CODY GOT NICKNAME OF
BUFFALO BILL"

When the Kansas Pacific railroad
was being built through Kansas In
lS67-6S 1t was necessary To provide
food for an army of more than 1900
track-layers. A source of supply was
near AT hand-vast herds Of buffalo
and men were hired To do nothing else
but kill these animals for food. One
of the bcst-known of the hunters was
William Frederick Cody. a young from
tiersman VINO mad been n pony express
rider and guide for General Custer.
The work was dangerous. for the In
dams did all they could TO stop prog
ress on the railroad. They especially
hated these hunters who killed more
buffalo IN one day than they destroyed
In u week. and Cody took his life In
his hands every time he went out. He
soon became such an expert hunter
that the railroad men gave him the
nickname of Buffalo BILL"
During Codys career AS a buffalo
hunter. a period Of IS months, he
killed total of 1850 bison. His
greatest exploit was his victory over
Billy ComStock. scout and rival
hunter. The match was arranged by
officers of Fort Wallace to- decide
which Of the two men was the great
est SLAYER Of bison. They were to
hunt one lay Of eight hours. and the
man who Silled the greatest number
Of the animals was To be declared the
champion buffalo hunter.
A herd was found and separated
into two lunches. Cody Immediately
began riding ut the head OF his huncss.
shooting the leaders and crowding the
followers i'm toward the center Of an
ever narrowing circle. In a short time
he had killed IS. all Of whom lay dead
over "a small area. Comstock had be-
gun shooting at the rear OF his herd
and although he killed -. they were
scattered over a distance Of three
miles. Two more herds were found.

ARMSTRONG HAS

FOR THRILL FAN

A large sized pack of thrills has
been thoroughly shuffled and dealt
out to the public in the form of
THE Fast MAIL" the William Fox
production. which is the feature at
the Fort Armstrong, beginning to-
morrow. The story is from the old
melodrama of the same name by
Lincoln ]. Carter, and was direct
ed for the screen by Bernard j.
burning, Charles Jones and Eileen
Percy play the principal charac-
tiers.
For those who like melodrama no
better motion picture is available.
There's the most heroic sort of a
hero, . pretty girl. and a whole
flock OF villains there are horse
races, a gun fight, and a quiet and
happy ending. The picture is a
distinct relief from some of the pit
liable problem plays that have been
forced upon the public, and the act
ing Is all that could be desired.
To pick|out the most exciting mo-
ment in this series of hair-raising
episodes would be a difficult task.
A half dozen spills in a steeple-
chase at the very beginning would
seem somewhat breath-taking, but
these become tame when the hero
leaps from the cab Of an engine
that il speeding 60 miles an hour

Think Of some Of the faces you
have seen in motion pictures. The
ones that come first to your mind
are probably the ones that have
shown the best acting In the pic
lures you have seen, regardless of
whether they are your favorite
players. The mark Of an actors
ability is, after all, the impression
he makes ON the mental screen OF
the spectator. The faces that have
most impressed me are those Of
Lillian Gish in orphans Of the
Storm, Richard Barthelmess in
Broken Blossoms, Eric Won
Stroheim in Foolish Wives, the
woman, whose name / do not r.

old hag in Foolish Wives" Jackie
Coogan in Trouble, Charlie Chap

Hackathorne jim Human Hearts.
I think of these pictures in the
characters in which l saw them
rather than in their own person
alities. All l have noted except
the woman l don't know and
George Hackathorne are generally
recognized among the leaders Of
screen players. This list results
from the impression upon only one
spectator, one who sees several
million feet Of film q year. How
ever, l believe that il any movie
fan were to recall to mind the faces
that have impressed him or her
very deeply. he or she would find
they are the faces Of recognized
leaders.

FOR HOME LACK
FAv0RITE RUSE
By JAMES DEAN.

'fhree hundred boys have been

q foronto, Canada, In the past I
r11fhs. The Ontario board OF NOV
~ rirture censors is held respon-
~ for the kind of pictures
.hcv1 In Toronto. 1t was to be *
,srted that some members of the
,sfcrm element would blame the
.otion picture for the flux OF ju-
r,r,le delinquency. That would
IKE it appear that the work Of
~ picture censors had not >been
iIoroughly done. Mrs. Edmund
phillips, a Toronto member OF the
fensor board, says that no picture
ii recent years could have inspired
such crime wave in Toronto's en-
thusiastic youth. Others of the. re-
ibrmers hold that the comic sup
ulement of the newspapers is the
csuse of youthful disregard of law
I'D order. This is more rot. Pic
TIRES, either in motion or in i'm
p,;ed motion, do not create GRIMM
,ls. The nail was hit sQuarely on
the head by J. J. -Kelso, provincial
supervisor of neglected children,
and Police Chief Dickson Of Toron-
TO. Lack of home training is re-
sponsible for the juvenile crime
wave, they assert.
william Allen White, the Kan
saS editor, in a recent article on
free speech, omitted reference to
The movies. A film trade paper
called his attention to the omis-
sion. ut isn't that I believe the
moving pictures are wicked so
much as l believe they are stupid"
White replied, land their stupidity
is largely due to the ungraded NOV
ing picture audience. II you grade
your audience as the theatre grades
its audience, putting the lowbrows
in some theatres and the high
brows in other theatres, you could
then develop a line Of intelligent
pictures for the intelligent and
happy endings for the morons
Then also much of the talk OF cen
sorship would disappear. But
when you have only one kind Of
house where all kinds Of pictures
are shown you are showing intel.
ligent pictures which in the nature
of things must deal more or lest
frankly with sex to unintelligen'
people and children, who do not ge
the intellectual significance out o
the picture. but do get its stinxini

Mr.. White is sitting too far from
the moving picture industry to b.
entirely correct. The trouble witt
motion pictures is not that Their
haven't been different grades o
houses for different grades of pic
