ships, believed to be British vessels,
are again active in territorial waters
of the Philippines and a half dozen in
ter-island vessels have been overhoul

past few days. The proceedure is
generally to halt a ship, send an
armed landing party aboard, examine
the ship’s papers, ask for information
as to the nationality of the passengers
and inquire whether the ship carried
cargo or mail addresses to Teutonic
subjects! So far there has been no
interference either with passengers,
mail or cargo.

THE ALCAZAR
Dustin Farnum is the star in the new
Pallas-Paramount picture, “Davy
Crockett,’’ but his fine work is almost
equalled by the remarkable acting of a
hitherto little known actor.
This player has appeared in several
ether screen successes, but has never
before been given a part worthy of his
exceptional ability. This played is a
perfect specimen of a full grown cinna
mon bear and has a coat like velvet.
In all the scenes which this per
former appears he stars, if a bear
could ever be said to star. Whether It
is only to frighten the sleeping colored
boy in the canoe or to perform the del
icate task of springing a genuine bear
trap, the work is accomplished in a
faultless manner.
The remarkable intelligence of this
animal and his comical actions add
much to the atraction of this excep
tional and differently told romance of
the frontier. This photo-play is com
ing to the Alcazar theatre Monday.
