FAIRBANKS IN
THE IRON MASK
STARTS TONIGHT

Writing about "The Iron Mask, -
latest play by Douglas Fairbanks,
which starts "A four day stay here
tonight at Fox Imperial Theatre, is
superfluous.
Every screen fan knows the
name Fairbanks in any production
is like the word "Sterling,' on
silver. 1t is the hall mark of ap-
proval. Fairbanks, in all his years
on the screen, has never produced
IN unpopular picture, and he is at
his greatest in his latest release.
Once more he is D'Artagnan, the
brave, fearless swashbuckling hero
of the Dumas novels. Once more
the old cry Of cone for all, all for
one, rings out as the Three
Musketeers battle for their king.
All the tremendous action of a
Fairbanks film is in "The Iron
Mask, and there is not Il single
duh moment in it.
The cost Of the film was enor-
nous. Months were spent in pi0duc-
ing it, and the most elaborate sets
ever constructed, were built at the
United Artists studio in Holly
wood, to reproduce the glory of the
royal buildings of France Thou
sands of extras worked in the pic
ture for Il long period.
While there is no dialogue in the
picture, the voice of Fairbanks is
heard in a series of soIiloquys, in
which he addresses the audience,
giving it the intents of the rharac-
ters and the motivations for their
actions. Sound effects and musical
synchronization are carried out
throughout the film. Several other
characters in addition to Fairbanks
have short speaking roles.
All the glory and romantic
glamor Of Dumas novels have been
faithfully reproduced
Manager Norris has scored a hit
in obtaining "The Iron Mask at
this carly date and for run of
sufficient length to give all valley
residents an opportunity to witness
it. Many Of the larger cities on the
coast have not as yet had an OPP
portunity to witness it.

Find WOmans
Skull On Desert

The coroner's office was con
fronted with Il new mystery over
the week end when members of the
working crew of the San Diego and
Arizona railway brought to b. +.
Lemons office human skull
which was found at Sugar Loaf
Mountain near the place where
Harvey "BlucbCard Watson bur
led his wife eight years ago.
The skull had its full complement
of teeth, which, according TO Bert
Underwood, investigator for the

skull was that of person who had
not been dead over several months
and perhaps not that long.
The skull was small and the sup
position is that it belonged to Il

According to Underwood 4 head

skull found Saturday could not
have belonged to that body. Dos
Cahasas is about four miles from
