no equal, aB he is posHibiy one of the most
reckless men on the screen. Born and
raised on the plains, he knows the cow
boy as he really was, not as some stars
endeavor to make him. The present story
is one of the cattle country -in which one
of the big scenes is where Tom bulldogs
a steer in an attempt to stop a stampede
of cattle being driven before a prairie
fire. If you don't know what bulldogging
a steer means take our word for it that
it is one of the most sensational and
dangerous stunts that Is known lirMhe life

rved the sentence he again assumes a
normal life, falls In love with and mar
ries an heiress, and although he has been
accepted again as a respectable man his
past history is made known by a rival,

FARRAR'S
DOUBLE
w
1IILE Geraldine Farrar, ar
rayed in her brilliant cos
tume as the half-Spanish
Pancha O'Brien, was going through
a scene in "The Hell Cat," a girl
rode-up, and her resemblance to the
singer was startling. In stature,
coloring and arrangement of her hair
she was a replica of the celebrity.
There the resemblance stopped. The
girl's speech was confused and the
light in her eyes was unsteady. She
held out her hand limply, saying
that she wanted to take Geraldine
Farrar's place in "The Hell Cat"
when the diva became fatigued. For
a moment neither the star nor Regi
nald Barker understood. Then one
of the cowboys' called them aside.
"She is Clara Snell," he said, "and
she's not right in her head hasn't
been for years. She's harmless."
Quick to take advantage of the
situation, Miss Farrar arranged for
the girl to go through a scene in the
play while Percy Ililburn, the cinc
matographer, pretended to crank the
camera. Then Clara Snell rode away,
happy.
. .When Cecil de Mille made his
first picture. "The Squaw. Man,"
some years ago, it was. with almost
no properties; the studio was a ren
ovated barn and there were only
hazy ideas as to lighting effects and
other secrets of the motion pictures.
Today he has reproduced the p. ay
with all the finest equipment that
money can buy and with thejivealtli
of knowledge that years of directing
have brought to him. In speaking
of his new picture, he says:
"Why did I wish to again produce '
'The Squaw Man'? Well, there are
several reasons, sentimental and
professional.
"It was my first picture. In the in
terim I have produced a good" many
films of different character, and I
feel that each has- in some measure
surpassed its predecessors. And I
also believed that I could, by reason
of the fact that I have already pro
duced 'The Squaw Man,' accomplish
something really worth while in the
reproduction of the drama. With
what I have gained in knowledge,
practice, experience, with the great
er facilities in lighting, investiture, t
etc. the technical advancement, in
a word and with the truly superla
tive company I have assembled. I
am certain that the new version of
'The Squaw Man will be infinitely
better than, the old."
Managers Ledoux and LeMar

$30,000 Wurlitzer-Hope-Jones organ

ganist and demonstrator of wide ex
perience at the keys, will be better .

patrons. The organ contains all
the tones usually found in the '
church organ, combined with such
orchestral instruments as clarinets,
flutes, ' piccolos, 1 violjns. cornets,
trombones, saxaphones, etc. There
are three sets of "human voice"
pipes located in the different parts
of the building. lhese produce
wonderful effects, both in solo and
chorus. Two? large harps, costing
$1,000 each, are built in the instru
ment.
Sessue Hayakawa, who is feat
ured in a new picture at the Muse
today in which the svvord of the
Samurai is-involved, uses a sword.
in the production which ,has been
in the Hayakawa family for 400
years.
'Time was not so long ago
either" remarked the actor a few
days ago, "when a man's honor con
sisted m his preservation of certain'
traditions that in some instances
were not wortny ot preservation.
Among these was a too ready use
of the sword to avenge insults,,
sometimes imaginary ones.
Now we take our troubles to tlie
courts, just like Americans. Ihe
sword of the Samurai is a noble
tradition, but we don't use it with
old time indiscriminacy. It hangs on
the wall in the place of honor
anfong the portraits of our an
cestors who were good old fighters
of a different regime."
