THE SPOILERS
STARTS TODAY

f.Rex Beach's story Of tho K1ondike
gold rush. THE Spoilers" has lost
none OF its glamor. none of its vivid
ness and none Of its drama In the
years that have passed since It was
w~ritten--and that have passed since
It was irst put upon the screen ten
years g by Colonel Selig. The new
version, produced by Jesse d. Hamp-
ton. with Lambert Hillyer directing.
will be shown today. Saturday and
Sunday at the America theatre and
1t held h big audience completely
in its grasp. The production is on
a bigger and more spectacular scale
than was the original as was to be
expected. seeing how rapid tho prog
ress and technique OF making pictures
has been. and the great fight staged
between the hero and the villain sur
passes that of a decade ago.
The Spoilers is a true picture OF
life in the Kondike gold rush and
the attempt of certain unprincipled
a~dventurers to jump the claims OF the
early miners. Its story has a peculiar
fascination over tho minds of red.
blooded Americans. Tho picture is
one Of the best made in recent years
ana tnbIo Is NO uouDL hnhL II Will TO-
pssl The big success of its first screen
Mcarhation.
? The cast is certainly one OF the
most notable that has yer been seen
in any one photoplay. 1t reads like
a who's Who OF the screen-Milton

Mitchell Lewis. Wallace Macdonald,
Ford Sterling, Robert McKim. Sam de
Grasse. John Elliott. Louis Fazenda,
Kate Price. Rockcliffe F'eIowes. Cor

CURE and Jack Curtis.
The light between Milton SlIls. who
is the Roy Glennister, and Noah
Berry, i-mpersonating the villainous
Alex Mcnamara. is without a doubt
the greatest screen tight ever Aimed.
It Is stated that IT required nve days
TO film this fight scene. Both men
are excellent fighters a. well as ex-
cellent actors and they really fought.
Barbara Bedford and Anna Q. Nilsson

would be hard to improve upon the
casting OF the acting OF this pro

Those who trip tho light fantastic

Chief Reasons Why You
Should Buy Furs NOD

(1) The first garments of the season are
always made of the %softest, primest
skins.
(2) They are worked slowly and care
fully-before the rush" is on.
80 Early showings contain original mod
els that are not duplicated later.
(4) New fur styles call for a tremendous
number of pelts. Prices are advanc-
ing every day.
Those who delay will pay more later. Wise
women will make their selections now, dur
ing our August Sale. A small deposit assures
choicest styles, finest quality and genuine
savings.

Meanden1gs OF A Mildly
Militant Mind
Mothers Day Musings.

Motherhood FORCES the bond which
binds the soul of woman to the Soul
of the Universe. Through it she
comes into the possession Of knowl-
edge, Of understanding and of power.
Crowned by the Creator, enthr6ned
in the heart of humanity, mothers
hold in their hands the power to rule
the world.
They are not yet fully conscious of
their power. Exercise of it would
mold the destiny of nations.
Wise direction and utilization of the
power of woman within the walls of
her own home would reform and
transform this earth. Paradise would
cease to lure. We would be content
right here.
Love, the unconquerable force for
good, is the secret of this power.
Mothers liberate in thousands of
acts of sacrifice and service wealth
Of love great enough to redeem man.
kind.
Remuneration, the key to unknown
and otherwise unknowable spiritual
kingdoms, is the toll life demands of
those who wear the crown of woman
hood. But
They are not debtors to life. They
have cancelled that obligation.
They travel the path charted by
pain.
They are companioned by hope and
dread, faith and fear, happiness and
heartache.
They learn lessons of patience, OF
endurance, of courage and of cheer
They teach lessons of life and its
living.
Wisdom is theirs. To them is Civ.
en- tie certainty that life, however fill
ed with care, however heavy its re.
sponsibilities, however tiresome its
toll, however barren of the fruit OF
it's dreams, is-after all-wortl
while.
They know, mothers do, moments
of ecstacy which throw into total
eclipse every other earthly experience
Great, luminous, golden moments, SC
bright that, blinded by their radiance
they grope their way into the Divine
Presence and with trembling hearts
receive renewed spiritual sight.
Mothers see as none others can the
weaving of the web of life. It's fila
ment of gold and grey. Its prizes and
penalties; its laughter and longing;
it's songs and signs; it's peace and its
pain.
We don't have to tell them. They
know. They sympathize. They un-
derstand.
Their hearts are warm. And big
And tender.
They forgive. They comfort and
encourage. They console and cheer
They give-what do they not give
And yet, all too often,cGod forgive
us!-mothers are cherished only in
memory. After they are gone.
Let us cherish them now!
