Doug Fairbanks Finds a Pal
While Waiting, for Train
Douglas Fairbanks taken for a bum.
This might sound strange, but here's
how it happened.
Being very fond of outdoor life,
Fairbanks, accompanied by Henry
Malstead, motored across the Mojave
desert to Victorville, Cal., and they
parked their automobile and awaited
the train for Cheyenne, where Fair
banks was the recent guest of honor
of the Golden Jubilee Frontier days
celebration.
On the plaiform he met Charlie.
What a remarkable chap Charlie is!
Charlie a bum. But that's his busi
ness. He is a success at his profes
sion, too. Charlie thought Douglas
was a bum.
"Which way?" Charlie asked.
"East to Cheyenne," Douglas an
swered. "Traveling on the cushions or up
above or under?" Charlie came again.
"Don't know," said Douglas.
"I'll tip you off to a good freight
that is due here in half an hour," in
formed the generous Charlie. "The
conductor is a pal of mine. It will
be all to the velvetl"
Douglas kind of took to Charlie. He
grabbed the boy in tow, put him in a
drawing room and brought him to
Cheyenne. Here he bought him a
fine suit of clothes, a shave and set
of good resolutions. Charlie's last
name is King. He feels just like his
cognomen now. . You see, Charlie
hadn't been used to such opulence.
time table, thin dime and a watch,
borrowed permanently from a care
less friend, has been his store of
wealth for many a long day.
i When some one told Charlie that
Douglas Fairbanks was a moving
picture actor, the dear boy didn't
grasp the idea. When a man travels
for so many years beneath the rum
bling cars, from sheriff to sheriff and

Fiske 0'Hara Tells About
Wild Beauty of Irish Drama
"It is remarkable how the Celtic in
the literature and the drama is forg
ing its way to the center place of in
terest. It makes one think that the
pendulum has swung too far in the
world of realism, and is now swing
ing back to that world wherein lies
imagination, and the more sweet and
tender emotions of life," says Fiske
O'Hara. A few sentences of an ar
ticle he recently read, under the title
"The Soul of the Celtic Race," lingers
with him:
"The wild, tender and poignant ele
ments that enter in(o the makeup of
the human heart are written large in
the Celtic race. Around their islands
is the everlasting murmur of the sea,
and on their hil'3 the wind forever
calls. And when they tell us tales, it
is as though we listen to the sighing
of the waves or the tumult of the
storm. They are like people who have
stepped within the fairy ring and been
enchanted. They still keep an altar
and a fire, and when the world is
weary of its workshops and its ashes,
it may be glad to turn to these
strange, sad guardians of the sacred
flame for a spark whereby to light its
torch once more.
"For who shall measure the value
of a dream, an enthusiasm, a convic
tion? Most of us nowadays are
afraid to believe anything utterly, to
care for anything desperately, to
loosen entirely our grasp of the ma
terial. Not so with these Celts and
Gaels. It is easy not to fear another,
they don't fear themselves. They
speak a flaming word which has its
place in the world's language."
Battle of Arras in Film Is
Coming to Omaha Orpheum
"The Retreat of the Germans at
the Battle of Afras," the British offi
cial war mofion pictures, will be ex
hibited as a part of the regular vau
deville program at the Orpheum, be
pinniing the week of October 14,
These pictures were taken under the
supervision and direction of the Brit
ish War office and show actual fight
ing in the first line trenches. The big
guns of the allied forces are seen at
close range. The pictures show actual
hand-to-hand engagements between
the allies and the Teutons, and
British Tommy and French poilu are
seen climbing out of their trenches
and fllowing barrage fire right up
to the German trenches and routing
frightened Fritz. Bridges are shown
being blown up by the whipped en
emy, and the use of small holes as
points of vantage in open attacks, a
and following a stratagem, can be
seen for the first time.
Airplanes darting about in the
air, automobile trucks laden with sup
plies speeding to the first line
trenches, reinforcements coming up
on the double quick, light and heavy
artillery reducing the German fortifi
cations, Red Cross and hospital units
tinder fire all the horror of losing
and the glory of winning are shown
in these pictures.
, These films also show the utter de
vastation wrought by the rctreatilifr
, Germans in France. Cities and vil
: lages by the score are shown reduced
j to nothing, and the smoking ruins
j testify to the speed with which the
allied troops followed the foe. Fields
i and. farms and vineyards once produc
I tive, can be seen viciously destroyed
to the last blade of grass by the flee
I ,ing Germans. Stately trees that have
