FIGHTING BLOOD; A
FOX FILM FEATURES
FARNUM AT MAJESTIC
William Farnum, the highest salaried
star that has ever appeared in moving
pictures, is to be seen at the Majestic
theater tomorrow and Tuesday in the
latest William Fox production, "Fight
ing Blood." A lot of heart interest has
been worked into this romance
lighting parson. William Farnum has
a role In this that is eminently to his
abilities. His struggle to turn the
other cheek when his enemies taunt
him wins sympathy und his prowess In
hand-to-hand combat arouses admira
tion. There are several of these tight
scenes, but the most striking takes
place in a saloon, where Mr. Farnum,
in the character ot Lem Hardy^JInds
that he must whip the camp bully be
fore he will he allowed to preach. The
fight is excellently staged, working up
the interest of the spectator in a fash
ion thal never has been excelled in the
long history of fistic battles upon the
screen. Mr. Farnum as Lem Hardy
has created a character that stands
alone in its class. Miss Dorothy Ber
nard. who appears as Kvle, with whom
Hardy Is in love, interprets her part in
an unusually sympathetic and appeal
ing manner. The balance of the cast
render splendid support. The picture
was made in California. Locations be
ing used in widely remote parts of the
state. The lumber camp scenes were
made in the San Bernardino mountains
at Skyland. the loft. est point in the en
tire range. The mining scenes were ;
made In the Mojave desert, miles from
civilization and the street scenes in
Redlands, one of the wealthiest, resi
dential centers of the world.
The vaudeville attractions for these
dales are "Kre.ver," a xylophonist of
exceptional ability who presents sev
eral up-to-date numbers on this popu
lar instrument, and "The Bonnie Duo,"
who present a thrilling, sensational
ladder act.

keteers" will see it as a pictured Inter
pretation of one of the favorite epi
sodes of the popular classic, while
those who have never heard of Dumas
or the Musketeers will undoubtedly ap
preciate it on account of its delightful
air of adventure and ro.nance. The
reasons for this are many. To begin
with it is laid in France in the time of
Louis XIII, a place and ft period that
was crowded with adventure.
And D'Artagnan, the dauntless Mus
keteer In the queen's sefvice, is a
character molded along lines that look
unusually well on the screen. Quick
with his sword and his train his ap
pearance is a constant cause for ex
citement and thrills. Going to Paris,
D'Artagnnn becomes a memb r of the
famous King's Musketeers. He Is sent
by the queen on a dangerous mission to
England. His three companions are
either captured or put out of com mis
sion in the course of tights on foot and
horseback. D'Artagnan reaches Lon
don and recovers from the Duke of
Buckingham a pnir of studs given him
as tokens of egard by the queen. On
the ship on which he returns the hero
is captured by his deadly enemy, De
Rochfort. Jumping over the side, he
clings to the chains of the vessel till It
reaches port in* France. He restores
the studs to the queen, and she has
them put back into the necklace
where they belong. Card'naJ Richelieu
has induced the king to command the
queen to appear wearing the necklace
at a great court ball. When he sees
the complete necklace, his plan to em
barrass the queen falls through. In
addition to obtaining the favor of the
queen, D'Artagnan is rejoiced over the
safe return of his comrades and his!
reward frorn his sweetheart for his
bravery.
Charles Murray will be seen in the
comedy of the bill, "Fido's Fate."
BLANCHE SWEET AT
ISIS IN LASKY FILM
Blanche Sweet returns to the Isis,
the first three days of this week in
"The Blacklist," a Lasky film. The
story is laid In the mining fields (evi
dently connected with the Colorado
troubles) and is one of gripping Inter
est. The miners, all living on the
company's property, are oppressed by
the mine guards. Moreover, they suf
fer from the blacklist, which is used
to subdue those who protest at the op
pression.' One miner who attacks a
guard for insulting the pretty, little
school teadher, Vera, is killed, and the
superintendent offers no redress.
Then the miners are roused to or
ganize. The owner visits the mines,
has a talk with Vera and. while in
dined to make the condltlois easier,
refuses to concede the miners' de
mands. So a strike Is called, The su
perintendent has his may and the
striking miners are evloTed from com
pany property and take refuge in the
hills. The owner, who has fallen in
love with Vera, tells her the eviction
order does not apply to her, but she
goes with her people.
One ot the guards is killed, and the
strike-breakers surround the camp of
the evicted miners and attack it with
rifles and a machine gun, in violation
of the owner's order. Men, women and
children are 'shot down, previously
lots hmi been drawn by the strikers
to decide who should kill the man re
sponsible for the outrage, and the lot
fell to Vera. She makes her way to
the owner's office and shoots him; then
she attempts to shoot herself, but is
prevented. The owner recovers, mar
ries Vera, and the two work out a plan
for more human treatment of the
miners.

carefully reports on little cards made
for the purpose. He finds Ideal places

discovers excellent localities for battles,

At the studio he has a big card In

of all these places. It saves a lot of
time. When the director of a produc

to look It up In the card index. Then
an entry Is made on the card stating
that the scene has been used, because
the same scene is never used twice in

photoplays remember scenes.

that a photograph of every plac* is
