In “His Majesty the American.”
the first picture to be made by the
new combination of artists known as
the “Big Four,” Douglas Fairbanks
plays the part of a young American
who simply can’t keep out of trouble.
He takes a hand in all sorts of situa
tions which lead him around the
world. We find him first in New
York, trying to show' the fire depart
ment how it should be run. We find
him helping the police raid the den
of a king of the underworld. We find
him in Mexico, showing the bandits
what they don’t know about their
business, and we find him butting
into the affairs of a little principal
ity in Europe. It is the jolliest mix
up ever screened.
The production is sumptuous and
cost a fortune to make. The support
ing cast is of exceptional ability, in
cluding dainty Marjorie Dawr. who
could make anyone fall in love with
her; Frank Campeau, the most suc
cessful “villain” on stage or screen;
Sam Southern, a younger brother of
E. H-; Lillian Langdon, Albert Mc
Quarrie and Jay Dviggins, none of
whom need an introduction.
The nightmare incident with which
the picture opens is worth the price
of admission alone. You never guess
what is going to happen next, but
you knowr it’s going to happen, smash
bang, and that “Doug” will come up
with that inimitable grin. From the
moment we discover him twisting
and turning in the nightmare until
the little girl way on the other side
says “Yes,” he amazes and amuses,
and always his audience is with him.
At the Empress tonight and to
morrow.

CRUC
MEXICO CITY, June 21 (by Asso
| dated Press).—Dr. Jose di Gabriele,
j the Italian religious zealot who was
| crucified by the Indian inhabitants of
Tequitzitlan, Oaxaca, last Good Fri
day, arrived recently in Mexico City,
en route to his home in Pachuca, ap
parently little the worse physically,
but still harboring his beliefs.
Di Gabriele appeared in Oaxaca
early in Lent, proclaiming himself to
be the Savior and so worked on the
superstitious and ignorant Indians
thaj they crucified him, using rail
way spikes to nail him to a rude cross.
He was taken down the next day and
survived his ordeal, being viewed by
thousands on Easter.
News of the crucifixion reached the
capital of the state, Tehauntepec, and
the governor ordered Di Gabriele
brought there. A great procession
followed the cart in which he was
transported. Later the mayor of
Tequiztlan, who acted as the Roman
centurion and four other principal
figures in the crucifixion, were arres
ed by the authorities.
QUAKESSHAKE
ISLE OF TAHITI
ALMOST DAILY
PAPEETE, Tahiti. June 21 (by As
sociated Press).—Earthquakes which
have shaken the islands of Tahiti,
Moorea and Mehetia, without more
than a week or two intervals since
the autumn of 1918, still continue and
have increased in frequency and
strength. Of late there have been on
an average of two or three a day.
usually in the early hours before
dawn.
A recent but unconfirmed report af
firms that the island of Tubai, about
400 miles to the South of Tahiti, is
also shaking.
This, it is held, would tqpd to con
firm the theory that the source of
the disturbance is a sub-marine out
break somewhere to the south and
west, in that part of the Pacific where
surface indications would never be
seen.
