toire. In his latest photoplay, Don
Q. Son Of Zorro" he steps forth with
an amazing new performance as a
manipulation Of the bull-whip.
The bull-whip which he uses is de.
clared to be an exact duplicate Of the
whip originated in the early ranch
days Of California by cattle drovers.
1t is a very long, very slender and
very sinuous lash. which becomes
a highly dangerous and menacing
weapon in the hands Of one skilled In
It's use. Consisting Of q lash fastened
to a short, butt-like handle. 1t tapers

thickness Of a mans thumb to the
thin proportions Of a cord.
Fairbanks realized the entertain
ment possibilities in the use Of such q
whip, and he practiced necessarily for
weeks before he gained the necessary
proficiency to begin using, 1t before
the camera. and the best evidence of
his experiences lies in the things he
does with this whip in his many ad-
ventures in Don Q. Son Of Zorro"
Nor Is this Fairbanks only new &C.
complishment in Don O." for he also
has learned from Manuel del Rios, IA
nous Seville bull fighter, the art Of
cape work as practiced in the bull
ring, and by this means he overcomes
a mad bull that runs amuck in the
streets of the little Andalusian town
where much of the action takes place.

bered as co-author of Just Mar

The story treats of a youthful love
affair in which the young couple are
baffled by the interference of their
parents. and the comedy centers
around the boy and girl outwitting
their parents. The mother Of the

rivals for the social leadership in
their home town. and a bitter enmity
exists between them. The mother of
the daughter sends her offspring TO
visit an aunt with instructions that
the girl marry the most eligible
young man of the town. The aunt
selects for her niece a youth who
fails to attract the girl. Her real
sutton follows her to her aunt's home,
where he is engaged as a chauffeur
The aunt discovers his identity. and
many amusing situations result
Everything Is cleared up. however,
In the end, with q reconciliation be-
tween the rival parents and the we'd
ding of the lovers.
The comedy is replete with hu-
morous incidents and bright and en-
tertaining dialogue. 1t Is clean, funny
and is free from suggestiveness OF
any character. The play was staged
and directed by Clifford Brooke, and
the settings were designed by Living
ston Platt.

this person. he found out that he was
a German and spoke with dialect.
That night he announced among his
other limitations ono of the we'll known

the role of Bill Jones in the William

POLrS-"MissiOn Mary"

Said to be full Of thrills and with
many exciting and tense situations.
Mission Mary" a comedy drama in
three acts, by Ethelbert D. Hales, will
be the attraction at Polls Theater
this week, commencing this evening.
1t Is not often that a play which has
been accepted and for which royalty
has been paid to the author is held
back for five years for production.
Yet Mr.. Hales wrote this play more
than five years ago, and several Of the
prominent managers have negotiated
with him at different times for its
production. but satisfactory arrange
ments were never made until the NJ.
j. Nicholas Productions secured Mis-
sion Mary" from Mr.. Hales under
contract not only to produce 1t but all
the plays of which Mr.. Hales is the
author as well.
The inspiration for writing Mission
Mary" came to Mr.. Hales while visit
ing an old mission house located on
the lower west side Of New York, the
resort Of the down-and-outer and
characters of the underworld In gen.
eral. It shows the vicissttudes that
this class of people are called to un.
dergo. Mission Mary" is declared to
be in no sense a melodrama, but q
IL ever. encountered on the stage. AS
the name implies, 1t concerns d woman
who. through no fault Of her own, has
been thrown into a section filled with
many kinds of people who have trod-
den the wrong path. Mary is one Of
these. A mission is started by a
charitahly minded man who has been
deposed from his church by those who
are not in accord with his teachings.
He starts the mission in an out-of-the-
way place and gathers around him
many Of the fallen people. The story
is said to be of intense interest, with
many situations that hold the audi
ence spellbound.
Florence Rittenhouse will be seen as
Mary Allison, the woman with a past.
Miss Rittenhouse is remembered in
Washington as leading woman Of stock
at Polls for two years, and also for
her great success in 1.-THE Shame
Woman" which had a seasons run in
New York. Mr.. Hales, the author, will
be seen as Dean Roberts. the kindly
minister who tries to help those with
whom no one cares to have anything
to do. Bertram Harrison is the d.
rector Of the play.

Uncle John

If somebody should ask, in
this turbulent time, the reason
we're first on the roster of
crime - some goggle-eyed dom
key will tell We the cause is the
turrible lack of enforcible laws!
So, forty-elght states, with the
law-makin' craze, make draft on
the toilers for all they can raise
to pay fer a Code that no
jurist can span-a blood suckin'
beast, despoiler of man!
This "Land of the Free" by
forefathers ordained, has ham,
strung, pan-handled, hog-halter-
ed and chained, till the servile
taxpayer, befuddled and coarse,
is the fruit of a mess that no
power can enforce. While the
gunman and thug, in mutual
guffaw, are applaudin' the force
called "The reign of the Law!"
If we'd curb the Banditti that
pillage our domes, we might
have somethin' left fer our
babies and homes! They'd bank
rupt the land fer pink speed
ways an schools, while they
hint that the people are tight
wads an fools. In the power of
a plunder-bund, law-ridden mill,
be calm,-there's a poor-house
just over the hill.
