Mr. Grey knows the west in | the early days as do few others, and | Lucien Hubbard, who scenarized the | story, and William K. Howard, who | directed it, have beem careful to fol- | low the novel down to its minutest | details. Instead of viewing a plain dotted' witlr cities, ranches and cement | roads, the film shows us the west as | it was fifty years ago--a vast wil- derness, ranged by great herds of | buffalo, over-run by wolves, bears and mountain lions and inhabited by fierce, nomadic Indians. Interwoven with the theme of the | story which concerns the long drive | that was begun in '76 to the buffalo fields of Wyoming and Montana, is a | virile romance, the principals of | which are Jack Holt and Lois Wil- son. : The development of this love affair which is hindered by Miss Wil- son's ,guardian, Noah Beery, and the sufferings and privations 'of the ear- ly settlers provide enough action, drama and suspense for a. half a dozen photoplays. The. last big lo-| dian attack upon the whites and the exciting stampede of a vast herd of | buffalo furnish two of the many dynamic scenes for this epic picture. As for the cast, besides those fea- tured players already mentioned, it includes Raymond Hatton, who also portrays-a leading role, Charles Ogle, Lillian Leighton, Eulalle Jensen, | Ed Brady and several hundred minor characters. "CONTRABAND" AT STRAND. "Contraband," the new Para- mount picture which opens at the Strand Theatre to-day is as exciting and thrilling as its title would lead one to believe. Rum-runners, boot- leggers, crooked politicians, a villain- ous deputy sheriff, a beautiful girl editor and a scholarly young profes- sor--these are some of the in- gredents in the latest Paramount comedy-melodrama. Lois Wilson, Noah Beery, Ray- mond Hatton and Raymond McKee are featured in the principal roles of the picture. IN MARINE CRCLES | The George Hall Coal & Shipping Company is to confer the name of "Walter B. Reynolds" upon one of the three steel freighters now being built to its order at Collingwood, in honor of W. B. Reynolds, mayor of Brockville, and an associate with the business of the corporation since 1887. The steamer Royalite docked hefe last night. The steamer City of Hamilton pass- ed down this morning on her way east to Montreal with package freight. The government steamer Concre- tia left for Prescott this morning. The steamer Brockville arrived here this morning with package freight from Bay of Quinte ports. ESCAPES THE PENITENTIARY. Prisoner Is Declared to Be Insane. The London Free Press says: Thomas Fox, who has languished at the county jail since 'last October awaiting his removel to Portsmouth penitentiary to serve a term of seven years and ten lashes for an offence against a girl, was on Thursday morning pronounced insane by Dr. George H. Stevenson of the Ontario Hospital. . Fox, who up until a few days ago, was a model prisoner and took daily exercise, suddenly showed signs of A London | Club vs. Business Men. insanity when he refused to eat his; meals and screamed aloud in his cell at night. At first it was believed he was feigning, but the examinations of the two physicians have resulted in their declaration that he is of un- sound mind. Fox will not, therefore, complete his penitentiary term, but will be re- moved to the insane department of the Guelph reformatory. . HEARD ON THE STREET by Re- Tweddell's Sale Topcoats, $18.00.
