PALACE-"The Fast Mail"

THE Fast Mair' started its ad-
venturous rush against time yesterday
at Loew's Palace Theater, where it will
make daily and evening trips throughout
the week.
This frankly melodramatic production
is bareback to Lincoln ]. Carriers s
famous stage success Of a generation
ago, with such screen improvements that
the fast mali that provided the big
moment of the footlights conveys but a
single thrill to the many that keep up
an excited interest, from the plays be-
gasp of the stage play is the boarding,
by the hero, of the United States mail
express that stops for no man in its fly
ing race with the timetable. The limi-
tation of stagecraft is unable to reveal
this thrilling feat with the literal detail
the train. first, snakelke thread in
the distance that becomes the mighty
onrush of a monster, as the hero leaps
from a. flying automobile twelve feet
away to the engine of the car! No de-
scription, voiced by genius, could ex-
press a deed like that!
A thrill-rtval to this scene is the
race of two steamboats, on the Missis-
sippi river, with the hero still in pur-
suit of the vil1ains-there are two-and
in which he makes another flying leap to
the leading boat, which explodes as
hero and villain night through smoke,
fire and waves. The mere reading of
it sounds tame, but to see the play is
to feel the aest Of by-gone melodramas,
when all the world was young.
The plot has it's beginning with the
annual :steeplechase by the Mississippi
Club, in which gentleman riders and
lady guests give social glamour to the
betting of huge sums. Walter. West,
from Montana, who is visiting his
f1ancee. Mary Martin, in her ideal
southern home. is the favorite Jockey,
and practically all bets have been
placed on his mount. Tho two villains
Reed, a candidate for Miss Martins
hand. and La Fitte. a TYPICAL crook
gambler-blackmail the girls brother
into fouling the race, and the melo-
drama is on. The course Of true love
is red with tragedy and yellow with
flame, but the outcome is happy end
ing, in accordance with the fortune that
black Nanny Lou has told Walter and
Mary from tea leaves In a cup.
Charles Jones. whom Douglas Fair
banks must reckon with. as q performer
of breathlessly daring rides, jumps and
tumbles, Is a refreshingly natural young
lover, and Eileen Percy pictures ones
idea of the traditional southern girl
The entire cast adds individual merit
to the whole. A Mack Sennett comedy,
hilarious as to intent and showing the
usual gifted snan boy, dog, Cat, and
other trained creatures Of the farm
yard, with news pictures and good
music, complete the bill.
