SAGE COMES FOR
EDUCATION WITH
DRUG EVIL FILM
Dr. W. H, Sage Is in town.
In the past such news would ba
read with considerable apprehen
sion on the part of drug addicts
and violators of the Harrison anti
drug act. But this time his mission
in Rock Island is of a different kind
than those in the past.
Then, he came as federal in
spector for the state of Illinois to
prosecute cases of violations of the
Harrison law and to this end he
rounded up every known dope-flend
in the city and a few more who
hadn't been suspected and then
topped it off by making arrests of
persons who had provided the
drugs to the addicts.
Now, his mission is not prosecu
tion, but education against the drug
evil. At the Spencer Square the
atre yesterday opened his picture,
"The Drug Terror," completed since
his resignation from the govern
men service took place recently.
He appears in person with the film
which is a startling drama reveal
ing the truth of the evil of which
the average individual knows little.
The picture has Just been re
leased. After concluding the four
days' run here Saturday, the pic
ture goes to the Band Box theatre
in Chicago for the first presenta
tion in that city. Dr. Sage is well
known here particularly by city
and county officials wtth whom h
de.ilt when a government inspector.
The Harrison anti-drug act mad.i
dope harder to obtain but it was
not completely successful in the re
sults it was hoped to obtain. There
are still drug fiends and in Hu'
larger cities the numbers run inin
figures almost unbelievable. It in
the purpose of Dr. Sage to pres-eni
the picture for the purpose of edu
cation, but the story running
through it is by no means less
thrilling. It is a gripping picture.
It shows raids made in Chicago on
resorts frequented by dope fiends
and it possesses plenty of "blood
and thunder."
