which produce as hot a fire as it is
possible to obtain, is very disastrous
to the roads. The Leaf fires are
dangerous i'll view of the fact that
the ashes serve as a mat and hold
the heat for a long time.
The needless waste that results
from lust such fires is an expense
that the highway department is
anxious to eliminate. The warning,
is especially timely in view of the
national observance at this time Of

"The Bright Shawl is the Feature

Colonai-Barthelm Fights First
Screen Duel With Swords

"The Bright Shawl" is the Feature
Attraction for the Week end at the
Colon ai-Barthelme Fights First
Screen Duel With Swords
Richard Barthelmess fights his f1rst
screen duel with swords-and loses
ValiantlN--in the widely heralded
John s. Robertson production. The
Bright shawl" adapted from Joseph
Iiergcshcimer's powerful story deal
ing with Spanish oppression in Cuba.
This fight is described as one OF
the most gripping features of the
First National picture, which Will
begin an engagement at the Colonial
Theatre today. Barthclmess is seen
in the role of Charles Abbott, a young
American who becomes interested in
the islands cause and throws in his
lot with the Cuban rebels.
At the annual negro DAMON. which
is attended by both the whites and
blacks of Havana, a female spy
points out Abbott to a group Of
Spanish officers and denounccs him
as an enemy to the crown, as we'll as
n murderer.
He is at once seized DeEaca. the
officer in charge, asks Abbott if he
prefers facing a firing squad with
his back to the wall to crossing
swords with him. De Naca is the
best swordsman in Cuba. Abbott is
a tNro. But he accepts the challenge
and they duel.
The American is but toy for the
Skillful De Naca to play with, but he
fights on with tremendous courage
and tenacity. Again and again he is
beaten into corner but each time
he plunCcs eamely back into tho
fray. Finally. he drops unconscious
from sheer exhaustion.
De Naca, admiring courage above
all else, cannot kill him. He spares
his life and makes possible the cul-
mination of a happy romance.-ady.
