Ham E. Rork, who produced the play,
has adhered faithfully to the original
tale, and under the direction of Don-
aid Crisp he has given to the screen
a masterfully constructed film.
Those who enjoy exciting drama,
thrills and romance, blended in the
proper proportions, have a treat in
store for them in this powerful, pulee-
quickening story of the African veldt.
Its story treats of an English noble-
woman (a part played by Anna Q

In “Gold Madness,” with Guy Bates
Post and Cleo Madison in the stellar
roles, now playing at the Crescet the
lover of the screen is given a full
insight of a story of real life that
portrays the power of wealth, the ap-
peal of manhood, the strength ef beau-
ty. the awkwardness of the get rich
class in the society world, and the
perfect skill of a well thought out
scheme of a real crook who poses us

The home of Scotty and Olga Medee
overlooking the waters of San Fran- I
cisco Bay is the home that riches I
botght but one that the Iackof social
knowledge and culture mad an unap- <
pealing domain of two commoners. !
Olga Magee's only ambition is to be at 1
the top of the social ladder, and uses 1
as a means to this end a study of
the occult and has about her in the 1
home a group of weird looking women
who listen with her to the incantations
of a Hindu Swami. Their seance is
devoted to crystal gazing at one of
Olga's parties on one occasion,
Scotty McGee, who has hoarded his
enormous sums through manipulation
bf fake mining stocks, brings horns
another of his prey, one Jim Kendall,
alias Calgarth, who is supposed to be
the perfect example of ignorance.
Scotty goes away on a short business ,
deal that is involved with his dis- I
honest plans and leaves Calgarth in1
his home. It is then that Olga has the
opportunity to hear and see Calgarth.
She finds that he is highly cultured. a
wonder at crystal gazing, and the per-
fect image of someone she has known
tn early life. T"
Calgarth is persuaded by Olga to
demonstrate his ability at crystal gaz-
ing, and he tells a story, one that is 1
the exact reproduction of her life just
before she married Scotty. Many [
characters are involved, one of which
is Calgarth. Scotty is another of the
characters and the main plot is a
controversy between he and Calgarth
in which Calgarth la killed by Scotty.
The vision ends before it is plain to
it adds to the pleasure of your guest and makes you happy too.
The same truth applies to all your rooms—the more pleasingly and
appropriately decorated the happier the household.
To have every room appropriately enveloped in artistic covering is
comparatively inexpensive—when contrasted with the pleasure and
pride derived.
The extensive variety of stunning patterns that are found at C A.
Bradford Co. will enable you to choose most discriminately.
When you realize the low monetary outlay—you will wonder why
you did not decorate your home before with the wall paper from—

There are A number of unique in-
clents in the play which are entirely

persons were arrested, approximately
100 fighting cocks seized and the cock
pit and paraphernalia used in connec-
tion with alleged cock mains, demol-
ished early Bunday afternoon when
rangers under command of Capt. B C.
Baldwin descended upon the arena.
Shortly after noon Bunday.
Justice of the Peace J. B Chavag-
neux, of Harlandale, was summoned
to the scene and held a session of
court at the pit, at which time he ac-
cepted the plea of guilty of twenty-
eeven of the persons present, assess-
ing each a fie of 110. which with
costs amounted to 111 each. The other
twenty-eight pleaded not guilty and
their trials were not for Monday.
The rangers, who similarly raided
the cock pit several weeks ago, did not
manage to slip up on the pit Sunday
afternoon as they had done on the
previous occasion. Guards had been
set around the pit, but apparently they
were not on the alert, as the rangers
had passed the first of them when the
alarm was given and the crowd inside,
which had been watching what is Said
to have been a lively main, was arrest-
ed. A tew standing outsider managed
to escape.

Hundreds of persons showed their
appreciation to Manager Louis Novy
of the Hancock Opera House for
bringing back the big feature picture
"Little Old New York” by attending
the showing of this production today
at that theater. The Hancock man-
agement has announced that thae pic-
ture will play in the local amusement
house only two days this week, fin-
ishing the present run on Tuesday
night. Anna Pavlowa and. her corps
of Russian dancers will occupy the

“Little Old New York" is a pictorial
history of early New York and by rea-
son of its rather accurate picturiza-
tion of life in those days, it has cre-
ated tremendous interest among mo-
tion picture fans everywhere. During
a previous week's engagement at the
Hancock, the picture was shown to
packed houses and on the last day
attendance figures broke the record—
many persons were turned away dis-
appointed. In order to give every one
in Austin an opportunity to see thi/]
remarkable production, Manager Novy
booked it for a return engagement.
The star role is taken by Marion
Davies, om of screenom's most beau-
tiful women. Miss Davies essays the
role of a boy in the picture and adds
new laurels to her record by reason
of her splendid ecting.
