JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 22-Ten
years ago an old Italian prospector
on his dcathbcd told his partner that
precious metal existed in the Max
wiro district, 90 miles from Sails
bury.
In spite of the ridicule of the in
habitants, who thought the country
only fit for ranching. the partner,
also an Italian, started prospecting.
He has just discovered a platinum
belt, stated to be similar to the Ly-
denburg formation.
Reduced to his last penny by the
prospecting, the Italian has been Of.
fered huge sums for his claims.

RECALLS
OLD LIFE IN

Calm and Placid Section Of
New York Once Wild

The Bowery Of today is a calm and
placid place compared to the famous
street as it was a quarter of a century
ago. Most Of the dives" have been
turned into ice cream parlors or care
fully stage-managed show places fos
tourists. The criminals and degeuer-
ates who used to make it a by-woro
among respectable people have givea
way to shiftless wrecks whose nerve is
great enough only for the filching of
an unwary pocketbook.
But in one respect things are much
the same. In the old days, the denizens
of the Bowery. whose lives form the in
teresting background of THE Street
of Forgotten Men," a new Herbert
Brenon production for Paramount,

BEAUTIES STAR.
IN OFFERING
At R|A[TO
Struggle Of Small Town
Girl in Great City
Is Depicted.

The struggle and strife that greet a
small town beauty when she challeng-
es the "city that never sleeps" and
attempts to get her name into sthe
bright lights is the theme around
which 1.-The Mirage" at the Rialto this
week is constructed. This film is TAX
en- from Edgar Selwyn's stage success
Of the same name and deals with the
adventures of a talented and beautiful
country girl whose twinkling toes
came to grace the chorus of a Broad
way show.
According 10 the advance reports
this photoplay presents an interesting
complex of the blending of business,
stage and pleasure and gives sufficient
of each phase to acquaint the specta-
tor with life as it is really lived on
the Isle Manhattan. The constant
struggle for dollars and how it brings
all classes into one clique is claimed
to be illustrated in this photoplay as
never before.
PLOT is DIFFERENT.
That queer composite of cosmopoli-
tnnism "the rounder" is given prom
inent part in the film and is re-
ported as contradicting the opinions
that many have cherished. The RUN
der in the film is an official of
large manufacturing firm who, in pur-
suit of orders, prevails on actresses to
grace dinner tables for out-of-town
customers. When one of his guests
who happens to be an old time sweet
heart of the heroine, shows an in
clination TO digress the conventions,
the rounder shows his true heart and
takes his place among really worth
while men.
1t is said that the plot and COM
plications Of this picture are different
in every respect from any production
of the season and at the same time to
afford greater values because of the
scope Of action covered by the theme.
| Stage. cabaret, resort and society DIM
| ing places provoke an atmosphere in
which the very finest of fashions and
most beautiful Of women make their
appearance without in any way dis
tracing from the story proper which
is claimed TO he a well wrought ro-
nance that will command attention
throughout.
BEAUTIES IN THE CAST.
Florence Yodor has the principal
feminine role and proves herself YER
satile and capable actress. Give Brool,
is cast as the persistent order chaser
with Alan Roscoe rs the small town
buyer who cannot grasp the harmless
mes of quiet dinner parties. In prom
inent supporting parts some of the
nations greatest beauties are to be
seen. VIOLA Vale. Myrtle VaLe, Char
lotte Stevens and many others whose
faces have graced the covers of prom
incnt magazines will be found in
| these parts.
A comedy that is listed as contain
| ing many new and novel mirth pro-
voking qualities. Fox News, Pathe
Review and the usual scenic reel will
complete the program which is one OF
the finest that has been presented az
the Houston Street playhouse in some
time.

CANADIANS COOPERATE.

CANADIANS COOPERATE.
The Canadian government cooper
ated with Mr.. 1nce TO tremendous
extent in permitting cameras TO oc-
cupy valuable space during one of the
great buffalo drives last year, and
both science and art were combined to
make these pictorial achievements OF
the utmost realism. The cameras
were sunk in great trenches which
were then covered with steel roofing
and sod, so that the big beasts could
trample fairly over the heads Of the
camera men. permitting unusual close
ups and at the same time saving films
and cameras from danger.
There are definite moments and
episodes in which romance takes its
place amid the storm clouds of action
which were daily matter in the
lives on the great frontiers, and the
pages of history while never dominat-
ing will always contribute literally
to the main theme of the story.
While Stromberg had dsassociated
himself from Mr.. Ince several months
before the lattcr's death they remained
fast frinds, and in chat just few
days before his demise Ince and
St-omberg were photographed to-
gether the last time camera was
trained on the famous King of Mclo-
DRAMA. At that time Ince said
with perhaps some vague foreboding
of the coming events. Hunt, If any
thing, happens to me promise me you
will finish "The Last Frontier"
Mrs. Ince in striving to carry
out the wishes of her husband en-
trusted the completion of this picture
to Strombcrg feeling that from his
training and long association with Mr..
Incc he was the best fitted to give 1t
all the dash-the thrills and the action
which belongs in so stupendous
production.
DEDICATED TO MIR. INCE.
The picture will be dedicated to
the memory of Thos. II. 1ncc, and in
brief Photographic prologue many of
the most famous western stars Of the
screen are to be invited to appear as
further homage to the man who made
western drama tremendous
source Of entertainment to the world
sud whose own pioneering spirit was
evidenced not ouly in his love of all
that makes for western life, but in his
invincible conflict with those hard
ships and vicissitudes which made ear

PUPIL OF INCE.

Second only in interest in the en-
tire production story is the fact that
Hunt Stromberg, for several years n
student Of Ince methods, and one Of
the few proteges of that pioneer film
man to succeed to actual production
power in the world of the cinema, has
undertaken the completion Of the pic.
ture. Stromberg will develop the story
along those lines which lay closest to
Mr.. Ince's ideals. He has arranged
with Mrs. Ince to carry out in every
possible detail those angles of the story
which the famous producer had dis.
cussed with her, although they had
not been incorporated in the actual
scenario.
~The Last Frontier" is to be an
chic of empire building, n panorama Of
those pioneer days which stir the
AM erican heart, and stimulate the am.
bitiion and effort Of every spectator.
"Yital in its construct i n ,
sweeping in its spectacle, the new
film will embody the tremendous STAN
pcdes of buffalo, the fights and con-
claves of great Indian tribes, and the
spiritual and physical conflict Of the
white man in his effort to win the
west.
Scenes will be taken within a few
weeks of a ceremonial depicting Gus
tef's last stand. These will be made
at Chamberlain s. D., where 3OUV
Indians from the reservations of the
Dakotas and several regiments of
cavalry from nearby army posts will
all contribute in costume and action

UNITE
TO FIGHT PAY
INCREASE
Employers Decide Not to Meet
Demands of Trade Unions.
Back Present Scale

Operative and master builders OF
Washington today Joined hands at
a quiet meeting in the City Club to
resist the proposed wage increases
of various building trades unions
while at the same time expressing
Willingness to continue employment
OF union men at the present wage
scales.
A resolution adopted deplored the
possibility of an increased wage at
this time, and asserted the deter
mination of the employers to stand
against such an increase IL 1t
should be demanded.
The meeting. which represented
practically every phase of the build
ing industry of Washington, took
into consideration the numerous an
giles which today confront the en-
ployers of labor.
Experiences were related, sugges-
tons were offered and plans for
future parleys were laid.

1t was evident from the tenor
of the meeting, although this was
the builders will not invite union
leaders to talk over the proposed
increases. On the other hand,
should the union extend such an
invitation, it possibly may he &C.
copied.
One point, stressed by Edward
Linsky, who represented the Mas
ter Painters Association at the meet
ing was agreed. upon unanimously:
that the builders will stand behind
the sub-contractors who refuse 20
paw increase wages to labor.
Out of this understanding, 1t was
gathered from OPINIONS expressed
at the gathering, there may come
q definite decision to withhold con
tracts from minor employers who
bow to the suggested wage increase
demands.
This action, however, remains m
allegiance.
The principa! result of the meet
ing, outside of the resolution, copies
of which will be sent to all trade
employers associations. was the
cementing of a bond between the
various classes of local builders.
