France. Complete in seven reels. There will also be shown a two
reel comedy.
On Monday evening, September 16th, the production will be
"MY OWN UNITED STATES," starring Mr. Arnold Daly, picturiz-ing
big moments of American history. It is not a war picture, but a
dramatic sensation presenting the inner struggle of a human soul in
seven reels. Mr. Arnold Daly, portraying Philip Nolan, "the man
without a country " is the dominating character around which this
vitally dramatic story centers. In it is shown the duel of Hamilton
and Burr, the battle of the famous frigate "CONSTITUTION" with
the Algerian pirates and other scenes of equal import . Fy special
government permission, the original veteran of the American navy,
the "CONSTITUTION" was used fcflr scenes transpiring on beard
"Old Ironsides." Also, Hearst-Pa the News No. 60.
Wednesday evening, September 18th, William Fox presents
America's most popular actor William Farnum in "RQUGH AND
READY" in seven reels. This story is powerful and of absorbing in-terest
and is interpreted by a company of exceptional ability. A large
part of the play is laid amid the unending snows of the North and the
natural back ground framing the action is the most beautiful ever seen.
The leading lady is the petite Violet Palmer, and the direction by
Richard Stanton is perfection itself. Mr. Stanton , you will remember,
made that thrilling expese, "The Spy." A one-reel comedy will also
be shown.

When Thomas Wagner, a farmer of near Union Deposit, caught
Antony Lendi with four bags of chickens which Lendi had stolen from
his hen roosts, Lendi's only expression of sorrow was that no one had
provided him with an automobile which would have made escape easy,
he said. Lendi pleaded guilty on Monday and was sentenced to nine
months in jail.
The penalty should have been nine years instead , and at hard
labor.
