FULL OF THRILLS.
Princess Picture Has to Do With Res
cue From Forest Fire.

Flaming Barriers" at the Princess
this week is an interesting story of
obstacles overcome and miracles nc
complished. and is thickly sprinkled
with comedy and thrills. The heroine
played by Jacqueline Logan, who is an
aviatrix, expert driver of fire trucks,
capable bushes woman, authority on
clothes-for men, and a very delectable
and adorable heart-thriller all in one.
Antonio Moreno, as the dashing
young golf fiend, Luther Barton,
comes to Bridgeport to represent an
Eastern financial concern which holds
notes on the Malone Truck Factory
there. He arrives at Bridgeport with
an efficiency expert by the name of
Van Scythe (Walter Hiers) and is
at once "smitten" by Jerry Malone
.(Jacqueline Logan who is the daugh-
ter of the inventor of the Malone fire
truck.
In his efforts to help Pat Malone
make a success he bumps against. and
interferes with, Joseph Pickens, who is
determined to marry Jerry through
| fair means or foul; seemingly, Pick
ems prefers the foul means. Time aft
| er time attempts are made to demon

attempts are frustraed until large
camping party is trapped in valley
with a forest fire rushing down upon
them, and escape cut off by an i'm
passable crevice sDanned only by a
wooden bridge at which the flames
are already licking. Jerry flies al
airplane to Bridgeport, and rushes to
the rescue with the Malone fire truck.
Two streams of water are pumped
from the creek at the foot of this
crevice by this wonderful truck, and
a forest fire is held in check so that
the multitude of campers may escape
in safety.
Although somewhat improbable in
places. it is a very enjoyable picture
and should not be missed
The Mack Sennett comedy. Slip
Flops," is screamingly funny and al
though one of these impossible slap
stick comedies. replete with ancient
and much used "gags." is sure to
bring laugh, or rather, several
laughs.
Then there is the International
News reel. and some good singing by
George Burke who sings "Old Pal
Why, Don't You Answer Me" and
"The Sunshine of Your Smile"

CONVENTION HALL, Cleveland.
July A-This convention ID domi-
mated by La Toilette az Coolidge
never did or could dominate the
Republican convention here three
weeks ago.
Il was said that the Republican
conservative convention represent
Cd the turning Of the conservatives
Tor salvation to the leadership Of one
man. It can still more be said that
this convention here today repre-
sents the turning Of the Out-and-
out DrOgFesgives for salvation to
the Leadership Of Just one man.
In fact, the situation Is even more
extreme. In Cleveland, under com.
mander- Int Chief Coolidge, there were
generals and colonies. Here. under

The hold that La Toilette has
upon these people is amazing and
marvellous. They do not merely
follow him. They do not merely
admire him. They idolize him. They
worship him.
They also have intense confidence

important newspapers in this State

strength among people In the wage

Just two big blocks OF labor repre-,

Delegates from certain political
groups such as the Socialist party.

These railroad representatives
care little about forming any third
party at this time. Their aim Is
practical. They want to set rid

Iis their friend and they look al

suits them.
