Crescent Attraction

A story of the Far North with
Dustin Farnum in the leading role
is promised local picture enthusiasts
for tomorrow, Friday and Saturday
by the management of the Crescent
theatre, according to announcements
today.
The William Fox star, whose
popularity has reached such vast
proportions in this city, has in
"Bucking the Barrier" the role of
a klondike miner to whom life had
brought many tribulations. Through
the Vaccinations Of an inexplicable
fate, the robust northerner is
driven to dependency and finally
blindness. How the love of a noble
hearted woman rescued him. forms
the remarkable story which is from
the gifted pen of George Goodchild,
the noted magazine fctionist.
There are many well-knoWn
names in the excellent cast that
Director Colin Campbell selected for
Farnum's support, among which is
Airline Pretty, the talented leading
lady. The love trend of the theme
is enhanced even beyond the vision
of the author of the story by the
splendid performance of this Fox
player. 1t is an unusual treat to
watch these two romantic actors on
the screen.

nue. While the repairs were being
made, but when this had been found
to be impossible the detour was
planned. The detour will be as fol
lows: From Amboy avenue to Inslee
street. to Anton street. to Pine ave-
Tue, to Lawrence street to Amboy
emu The detour Mr.. Booz said
Today will be in fair shape and
drivers will have no trouble in fol-
Lowing It,. The detour will be placed
in use within three or four days.
Although it is hoped that the re-
pair to Amboy avenue will be ready
SO that traffic can use the thor
ougEfare on July 4. indications at
this time are that it may be July
10. before the contractor will have
the road ready for service. In the
meantime the detour will be kept lii

traffio yer the holidays and week
ends will not be c~ongested.

in small boats at sea while the scenes
in which great schools of whales are

Strand Attraction

Motion picture fans who look for
exceptional photoplays will have an
opportunity tomorrow to see d pic
ture which is one of the outstanding
productions of the year, for on that
date Rex Ingram's THE Prisoner of
Zenda" will come to the Strand
Theatre.
1t is a story teeming with dramatic
action, full of intrigue, romance and
excitement. 1t concerns the adven-
lures of an English gentleman, one
Rudolf Rassendyll. who, because of a
remarkable likeness to the ruler of
the mythical kingdom of Ruritania,
becomes for a time its actual ruler
and wins the love of the Princess
Flavia.
THE Prisoner of Zenda'' Is the
most popular romance of a genera
ton. From the time when Anthony
Hope, then more interested in his
political career in England than in
writing, composed it,, the narrative
of Rudolf ~Rassendyil's reckless ad-
venture has taken hold of the hearts
of all who read. This was the first
of the stories of romance in little
Kingdoms in Europe, and no better
indication can be had of its success
than that it inspired hundreds of
writer's to initiate it. But none of the
resulting stories had the zest. the
devil-may-care spirit of the original,
for that was written chiefly for the
love of imagination the author had;
1t was as glamorous to him as to his
readers.
In the hands OF a director such as
Rex Ingram, who made THE Four
of the Apocalypse" for the
same motion picture producing or
ganization. THE Prisoner of Zenda''
has stepped out Of the pages of the
book and come very much to life
on the screen.

Mack Cobb Badly Burned
When Mixture Exploded

Boiler Sprang Leak.

Mr.. ]. NJ. Cobb was badly burned
about the hands and body Tuesday
night when a mixture he was heating
for dog dip exploded and set the
candy kitchen just back of his cafe
on fire.
Mr.. Cobb had mixed the different
ingredients and was heating them
when a leak in the vessel caused the
fluid to run down to the flame of the
stove, which resulted in an explosion.
The flames shot out on all sides, en-
veloped MIR Cobb and shut him off
completely from the one door OF the
small house. 1t was then necessary
for him to pass directly through the
fire to get outside. When he reached
the door his clothes were blazing, but
prompt action by two OF his employees
extinguished the flames, and the fire
department, making an exceptionally
quick run, put out the blaze in the
outer building, which was consider
ably damaged.
At last reports Mr. Cobb was rest

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR FOOTBALL TEAM
DAWSON WILL MAKE INITIAL
VENTURE IN GRIDIRON
GAME THIS FALL.

Prospects for a winning football
team at the Dawson high school this
fall are exceedingly bright, although
the grid game has never been played
here. Necessarily the boys will be ig-
norant at the start of even the funda-
mental principles of this increasingly
popular pastime,
Prof. A. H. Cox, who will have
/ charge of the eleven, is an old head at
the game and has had remarkable
success with the teams he has train
ed in other places. In Dawson he
will have excellent material to work
with, as the boys here have long
wanted to include football in the
school athletics program, and the OPP
portunity of making il a major sport
this year looms ahead very encourag-
ingly.
The only handicap at present is the
fact that equipment is not here and
that since the eleven is not organic
ed no schedule has been arranged. The
matter of equipment really presents a
problem, as the boys themselves will
probably not be able to outfit the en-
tire squad the first year After game
or two in Dawson though there is no
doubt but that the attendance will be
encouraging, and once the local peo-
pie are educated to the game they will
look forward to each home contest OF
the grid season.
Work has already been begun on
the gridiron at the high school campus,
and it is understood that the first
practices will be held during the mi
tial week of school,
