I'LL marry any man who'll save

The speaker was Dorothy Fairfax,
daughter of New York millionaire.
The setting was an exotic one. About
her were several scores of men, the
majority Of them sailtrs. They were
in the center of the Sargasso Sea,
that treacherous body of water
which is perpetually covered with
seaweed.
A few feet from her stood Capt.
Peter Forbes, the ruler" of this
strange community. Under a law
which he had evolved himself, every
new woman arriving in the commun-
ity had to marry within "a hours, and
her selection had to defend his
prize.
Capt. Forbes was the husl1iest of
all the men, most of whom were
giants in size. He coveted Dorothy
and he knew none of his men would
dare to answer the girls cry, so he
gloated exultantly.
Suddenly there was a stir and a
challenger appeared in the ring.
"I'll save you," he told the girl.

Douglas fairbanks IN "Hopln HOOD"
Plays to Capacity-To Well Pleased
Audiences at the Or era House
Yesterday - Musical Program a
Winner - Management Deserves
Credit
The management Of this popular
playhouse deserves high praise for
bringing to Augusta a cinema mas
terpiece of the type of robin Hood"
starring Douglas Fairbanks. Never
in the history of motion pictures has
the writer witnessed such an elabo-
rate, stupendous,, pleasing, gigantic
and we'll casted romantic photoplay.
1t is hard to describe adequately this
big super production but these few
interesting facts will give you an
idea of the magnitude of Douglas
Fairbanks most ambitious under
taking involving the production Of
this stupendous cinema drama may
be had from the following statistics. !.
Over 10000 persons were employed
in the various branches of industry
to make this production.
The royal banquet room in the cas-
tie is the largest room in the world,
being larger even than the concourse
of the Pennsylvania Terminal Station
in New York City.
More than 10000 people appear in
various scenes.
Twenty-Five experts delved and
studied in the necessary research
work for accurate designing of the
colossal sets. Hundreds of work
men labored three months to build
proximately 35 carloads of lumber,
were used in their construction.
Thirty tons or about one carload of
nails were consumed in erecting the
sets.
Two hundred and fifty tons of ma
terial went into the castle walls.
More than Is acres of studio property
were used for the principal sets.
The kings castle alone covers two
and one half acres and is $40 feet in
height. The exterior is $50 feet long.
There are eight castle towers. If
these towers were water tanks, each
would hold 276.000 gallons.
The muslin diffusing. system-used
to dYffuse lights bigger than the
combined "big tops" of the worlds
greatest circus enterprise.
Twenty thousand yards OF heavy
velvets and rich cloth material were
used in making the costumes worn
by principals. players and extras.
Every weapon carried in the pro-
duction was made entirely by hand.
Thousands of spears, swords. shields
and daggers had to be especially
made.
Saddles and trappings for the
horses were all handmade and hand
sewed.
In making an exact duplicate of
| the standard used by King Richard
I in his Crusade to the Holy Land,
| 800 pounds of iron were necessary.
The entire stock of three tanner
les was taken over for tn, shoes used
| by the players.
! The splendid musical program un-
| der the direction of Mr.. Ernest Hill
alone is worth the admission price.
The above program will he repeated
today, tomorrow and Thursday at
els and 7.30.-Adv.
