Bennett recently, we may contrast
this performance with what was
called the "frightful speed of 16
miles an hour” attained by our ear

one can foretell what ultimate limit
may be reached, but Bennett’s pace
should be sufficient for conservative
folks.

REX BEACH’S GREAT ALASKAN STORY
“THE SPOILERS” RETURNS TO THE
SCREEN IN NEW AND BETTER GUISE
Jesse D. Hampton’s Version, With a Cast of Eighteen Star
Players, is the Outstanding Film Event of the Year—
The Fight Scene Has Never Been Surpassed.
“The Spoilers,” the most famous and most exploited story by
Eex Beach, has agaijj been transferred to the screen, this time as
a big super-feature, produced by Jesse D. Hampton, directed by
Lambert Hillyer. The picture will be at the Liberty Theater to
night.
“The Spoilers” is the greatest story about the Klondike gold
rush ever written, and one of the most widely read of American
novels. It established Mr. Beach’s reputation as one of our most vir
ile authors^ and started the school of out-of-door writers who have
been so popular in American magazines and books in the past de
cade, a school in which no one has surpassed Mr. Beach. Then, too,
"The Spoilers” is a true picture of ,_
early day Alaskan history.
When Rex Beach’s novel was first
picturized ten years ago by Colonel
Selig, it was the most talked about
and the biggest financial success that
the films had ever known. But since
that time, motion pictures have made
gigantic strides forward in technique,
in direction, in settings and acting,
and this new screen version of “The
Spoilers” is as far ahead of the ori
ginal one as that production was
ahead of the other features of that
day.
Jesse D. Hampton, who produced
the new picturization of “The Spoil
ers’' for Goldwyn, is known thruout
the industry as one of the ablest pro
ducers. He has headed his own or
ganization for years and made many
of the screen’s biggest pictures. Lam
bert Hillyer, whom he engaged to
direct it, made himself known to mil
lions of playgoers as a director of
outdoor stories of great ability thru
his direction of a sdore or more of
William S. Hart pictures, many of
which he wrote himself.
The cast of “The Spoilers” is as
notable as is the production. It is
headed by Milton Sills, one of the
featured players, in the role of Roy
Glennister, which made Wm, Far
num’s reputation when it was first
screened. Sills is one of the most
popular leading men on the screen
and had achieved notable success on
the stage before devoting his atten
tion to pictures. Anna Q. Nilsson,
featured in the leading roles of many
productions, is cast as Cherry Ma
lotte; Barbara Bedford, a brunette
beauty who has achieved a striking
success in two years time on the
screen, is seen in the role of Helen
Chester; Wallace McDonald plays the
Broncho Kid; Robert Edeson, the
role of Joe Dextry, the partner of
Glennister; Noah Beery is the vil
lainous McNamara; Mitchell Lewis,
the United States Marshal Vorhees,
who owns allegiance to McNamara
instead of to the government; Ford
Sterling is the Slapjack Simms; Ro
bert McKim, the unscrupulous law
yer Struve; John Elliott, the Attor
ney Wheaton; and Sam de Grasse
the Judge Stillman. Producer Hamp
ton decided to entrust the minor

GOOD PICTURES IN SCHOOLS
IS AIM OF CHICAGO SOCIETY
CHICAGO, 111., Believing that the
heritage of beauty is being denied
the child, “while his stomach is stuf
fed with good things and his mind
is filled with facts,” .the Chicago
Public School Art Society was found
ed and since its organization has
brought and hung 2,400 large, colorful
reproductions of famous masterpieces
in class rooms of ISO of the city’s 360
public schools.
Pictures carrying a lesson form the
body of the subjects selected-by the
society.
So successful have been the re
sults that an organized effort to
make nationwide the movement for
pitures in school rooms is about to
be made according to Mrs. Theodore
Teiken, president of the society.
“Thousands of our school children
come from dirty, ugly homes,” said
Mrs. Teiken. “They play in drab,
grey streets, monotones of ugliness
To such children a beautiful picture
is a glimpse into the land that
dreams come from. A good picture
in the life of a child during that
critical, formative period may be the
means of changing his whole life; it
may even bring forth the first gleam
of latent artistic talent.
“When our society was founded it
was our ambition to see a fine pic
ture on the walls of every class room
in Chicago. Now, having been giv
en the vision of what can be done,
we hope to see it prompted by simi
lar societies in every city.”
We hear a good deal nowadays
about the young ideas of some o>
our older men, but it appears that
this is nothing new. An old news
paper, published forty years ago re
cords the stunt of a farmer neai
Owingsville, Ky., which isn't slow. A
neighbor girl was in love with his
two sons and couldn’t make a choice,
so the old fellow sent them both
away and then, being a widower,
married the girl himself.
As punishment for jabbing a wire
into a dog’s throat, a Houston, Tex.,
school boy was sentenced to write
Senator Vest’s famous “Eulogy on a
Dog” 500 times, also to be spanked
by his father.

When a Cleveland doctor answered
a call to see a sick boy, lie found the
“boy” to be 76 years old. The father,
95, had telephoned.
