Second Play in "The Son of Demo-cracy
" Series. William S. Hart
in "Wolves of the Rail"
The second play in "The Son of Demo-racy"
series, which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening contains one of the most exciting
fights ever filmed. Benjamin Chapin,
playing Tom Lincoln, "Abe's" father,
trounces "Endel Carter," a neighbor who
tried to steal Tom's farm. The boy who
played young "Abe" was a "regular kid,"
a natural actor from New York. When
the fight began in front of the camera,
"Abe" forgot where he was. All he knew
was that his film father was putting up a
great battle. In the. midst, of it Abe,
all excited, rushed forward and yelled,
"Great stuff! Soak the big stiff , pop!"
It was fortunate that the film recorded
actions, not words.
In "Wolves of the Rail" Hart plays
a novel role, that of a railroad detective
in -a western country. He is first seen
as "Buck" Andrake, a daring highwayman,
whose gang is feared and dreaded by the
officials of the railroad. His. conversion
is effected at the bedside of his dying
mother, and he gives to his task of re-formation
all the energy, vitality and
thoroughness that characterizes his career
as holdup and all around bad man. He
becomes a staunch champion of law and
order and a loyal protector of the railroad
property, though he has to fight his former
gang to do so.
"Buck ' finds his reformation made
easier by the companionship and de^
votion of Faith Lawson, a young girl who
has succeeded to her dead father's job
as "Towerman" at Smoky Gap station.
In fact, Faith and "Buck" are the central
figures in a pretty romance which sur-passes
in interest any that has ever been
shown in a Hart picture.

William Fox presents June Caprice in
"Miss U. S. A."
