Dean Tells Us About Third Alarm
Before 1t OPENS at ENGLISH for Run
BY JAMES w. DEAN

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The biggest
thrill that many of us grownups
knew as children was the horse
drawn fire wagon pounding and roar
ing its way in answer to an alarm.
Many children Of this generation
will never experience that thrill, as
the fire horse is rapidly becoming ex-
tinct. The chugging Of an auto en-
CINE never can be so wildly exciting
as the thudding Of horses hoofs.
The passing of the fire horse serves
as the basis for a new film called
1.-THE Third Alarm" The picture is
~out-and-out m~elodrana, but many Of
its thrills seem legitimate.
An engine driver is retired on pen
sion when he fails to master the mo-
tor that has supplanted his horses.
His son, a medical student, quits
school and becomes a fireman.
Answering a third alarm the youth
rescues his sweetheart, daughter of
a prominent physician. They are
caught in the debris of a falling wall,
being trapped behind a heavy safe.
The old pensioner, unable to resist
the call that was once his duty. goes
to the blaze. One Of his old horses
hears the clang Of the bells and,
breaking from his harness, also runs
to the fire. His old master bitches
him to the safe and rescues his son
and the girl.
The usual happy ending follows.
The father IS given a farm and all
the old fire horses. The boy wins the
girl and his diploma.
AS in all melodramas. The Third
Alarm contains many implausible in
cidents. The horse is ridden through
a blaze without being hooded. The
is arrested and Jailed and freed
in a way that strains credulity.
However, the thrill of watching the
engines run IS there and that seems
to be sufficient. ,
Ralph Lewis is the retired fireman
in THE Third Alarm" He is as
natural as though he had lived in
engine house all his life. Yet in
IN the Name Of the Law" he seemed
just as natural as a cop. The movies
kept some city from having a first
class public servant.
Ella Hall, the heroine of The Third
Alarm" is getting thinner and thinner
every day and as a result she seems
to be the sweet young girl Of the
story, although she retired from the
screen several years g and in the

Buyers were willing to take odd lots
of three or six or nine bonds, which

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, August 16.-Notwith-
standing very bullish crop advices
the cotton market was nervous and

which held out no promise of any
general relief from the southwestern

This, combined with the very bull

which sent the price of December up
to 24.40, or about 3 points net higher.

and the market eased off several
points late in the forenoon under

NEW ORLEANS. August 16.-

The announcement came following
a conference between Maj. O'Shaugh-

interests.
This is taken to mean that the suit
of the government against the Nash

sold the du Pont corporation their site
at Old Hickory near here, will not be
one of the obstacles to the deals con-
summation. Fraud in the sale of the
