Il GYD' S SAFETY
LAST is BEST YET
Famous Comedian Produces a
Seven-Reel Laugh-a-Second
Cyclone

The location is twelve stories
above the street. Clinging to the
side of the building, two-thirds of
the way up, with a dozen pigeons
roosting on his head is Harold
Lloyd. The crowd below, amused
but frightened watch breathlessly
while the specialized comedian con-
tinues his upward climb, overcom-
ing the most difficult and hilar-
ious obstacles.
This is only one of the impress
sions to be gained from seeing
Harold Lloyd's new seven-reel
comedy, Safety Last" to be shown
at the Ryalnder on Thursday
and Friday. And what a comedy!
There have been riotous two reel
comedies produced in the past by
master comedians, but never be-
fore has one been seen in seven
reels that moved at such fast
pace.
How Lloyd performs his thrill
stunts is a mystery, 1t is almost
certain that he did them himself,
for his face is seen plainly in ev-
cry hazardous predicament he en-
counters. When young ann ut
tempts to climb the side of a
twelve story building in the place
of a real human fly" and meets
hilarious trouble every foot of the
way UP the results is a continuous
run of appearing laughter.
But the comedy is not all thrills.
There is a real story-a delight
full story with pretty little Mildred
Davis-now Mrs. Harold Lloyd
the young lady in the case. 1t is
not well to tell too much of the
story, but Milded is the cause of
everything has been with wo-
man through the ages.
The first scenes of the comedy
take place in a department store
in the Big City, where Harold has
gone to make his fortune. His
trouble commences when the girl
thinking he has acquired a for
tune already, comes to town to
marry him. And what time Har-
old has. The naughty floor walk
er in he store glares while Haf-
old tries to get his lady love out
of the building and at the same
time pretend to her that he is the
General Manager.
Safety Last" is generally con-
coded to be the best comedy that
Lloyd has ever made and Thursday
and Friday will be gala days at the
Rylander when it is shown.

A MO TION PICTURE.
WITH SUPREME THRILL
Down TO the Sea in Ships" Last
ing Tribute to Romantic and
Adventurous History

Few motion pictures that have
ever found their way to success
full completion have been attempt
ed on the scale of "Down to the
Sea in Ships playing at the Ry-
lander on MoNiay and Tuesday.
Formed by a group of the lead
ing business men Of New Bed
ford, Mass, this corporation set
about to perpetuate for all time,
through the medium of the screen,
the wealth of tradition that sur
rounds the whaling industry of
that New England city. It was
their purpose to picture to the
smallest detail the thrills, the ro-
nance and the hardships expert
enced by New Bedford whalemen
who have gone "down to the sea
in ships" in pursuit of the biggest
game the world provides"
The outstanding fact in con-
junction with the filming of this
picture, which serves to make it
unique in its field, is that it is one
of the few productions in the his
tory Of motion pictures that has
for its locale the tempestuous
waters of the high seas, and the
principal character in this breath
taking drama of the Atlantic is a
nine-ton whale. Nature has provid-
ed not only a background utterly
impossible to initiate through any
trick of photography, but it plac-
es in this setting an enraged
leviathan of the deep, stung to
fury by deeply EMBEDDED harpoon.
Back of all this action, however
is a most appealing love story.
Raymon Mckee, in the part of a
young engineer, returns to the
scene of his childhood and finds
Marguerite Courtot, his playmate
Of earlier days, grown to charm

begins a story intensely interesting

ESCAPES PRISON
Convicted Slayer Of Asa
Entreken
Plotted to Attack Sheriff Mo0ers With
MurderOus Intent While an In
mate of Local Jail

Sheriff Mooers received notice Mon
day evening that Homer Spurlock and
fellow convict. Murdoch Foster, had
made good their escape from the State
Prison at Thomaston. Spurlock, it
will be remembered, was sentenced
on February 11th, 1921, to life i'm
prisonment at hard labor for the bru
tai murder of the aged station master,
Asa Entreken, at Embden station on
November a, 1920. 1t is reported
that the prisoner is considered dan
gerous and his getaway caused no
little alarm among the officials.
The two prisoners made their es
cape by climbing through yentila
tor transom during the supper hour
at the prison. They fed directly to
the woods nearby and very cunning
ly tried to throw false trail for the
officers to follow. The warden lost
no time. in starting a posse of prison
guards in pursuit and Immediately no
titled various officials of the fight.
Deputies Condor and Oberton of
Rockland soon arrived upon the secen
and picked up the trail and started
in hot pursuit. After an all night
search they returned to Rockland for
food and rest, after which they in
tended to again pick up the trail.
Meantime the warden's forces were
thoroughly sweeping the woods north
ward. At about 6.45 Tuesday morn
ing postmistress Elwell of Rockville
telephoned the sheriff's office in Rock
land that two men had just appeared
at the store where the postofice is
located and made purchases of food.
Miss Blwell, unaware of the escape
of the two, was suspicious of them
and believed that perhaps one of her
customers was Lewis Burns who
had previously succeeded in gaining
liberty from the State Prison and had
not been captured. Deputies Ober-
ton and Condor set out at once for
Rockville and again started on the
trail where the pair had crossed a
field and entered upon the right of

Sheriff Mooers with an axe secretly
