Handsome—But How He

He came from college and a European tour
looking somewhat the sport—too much- so for
the old friends of his boyhood in the woods.

take "the valley of the giants"—a glade that
was the resting place of his mother—from him,
they found out that one good looking man
could fight. And a girl that he could love like
he fought!

The story takes Mix from the west-

last half reel he has more to do than
he had throughout the entire length

popularity Is based on the tremendous
chances he takes and on the fact that
he never lets the camera "trick" any

real west as It was In the bygone
days, when men needed stout hearts,
sturdy bodies, clear eyes and steady

AT THE TEMPLE TODAY AND TUESDAY.
In writing the novel "When Bearcat
Went Dry," Charles Neville Buck did
not realise that he was creating a
story which lent itself to perfect plo-
turlsatlon for the entertainment of the
millions of patrons of moving picture
theatres.
No American writer is so familiar
with the Kentucky mountains as Mr.
Buck.^ie having contributed hundreds
of short stories which have appeared
In the leading mugszlnes. Ton of his
novels have won for him millions of
readers.
The story of "WVen Bearcat Went
Dry" has an appeal for every red-
blooded American. Its scenes are
laid In the Kentucky Cumberlands,
where the elements of life are rugged
and where majesty and meagreness
endure side by side,
"Bearcat" Is the nickname given to
the young boy who Is the hero of the
picture. He returns from his exile
whither ho has been driven by rev-
enue officers who are seeking out
illicit stills. As the boy looks down
from the mountainside, he sees
Blossom, the girl he loves. In another
man's arm*. From that day on there
Is war to the knife between Bearcat
and Henderson. Yet when the time
comes for his revenge, the boy tries
to s«ve his enemy's life, In one of the
most thrilling scenes evpr (feptcted
on the screen.
Henderson Is dying from wounds he
received In a fight wheie Bearcat loo
is terribly wounded In trying to save
his life. As the boy bends over to
hear what he thinks are the last words
of the man that stole the affections ofr
the girl he loves nnd hears him say,
"I'm dying," Bearcat says, "I hope
ter God ycr air, but afore ye dies
ye're agoln' ter be nurrled. Maybe
I'm dying, too—I don't know—but
I aims ter last long enough ter stand
up with ye first."
The terrible mistake was righted
In the end, and Bearcat snd Blossom
fulfilled the prophesy made on the
mountainside that summer evening:
"When I've done something worth
doln' an' when ye're a leetle bit older
yourself, Blossom, you're agoln' ter
marry nie, nn' we're goln* ter dwell
thar—together."
To the great, srmy of readers who
have found delight In the thrilling
tales of Bert Harte, James Fenlmore
Cooper, and John Fox Jr., and rev-
eled In their tales of virile, red-blood-
ed men and women, an unlimited
pleasure Is In store In witnessing
"WTien Bearcat Went Dry," which
will be the attraction at the Crescent
Theatre today and tomorrow.

FECT OF $75,000,000 DltlVE ON
PEOPLE Of CHURCH.
The Baptist $75,00(\r.0 campaign
has been the means of awakening
many Indifferent church mombers
among the Baptists, and exciting
many stories of heroism.
Down In Florida recently, after the
observance of the day of prayer and
fasting, an old man went home and
prayed all night. The next morning
he wrote the director of the cam-
paign, saying he had been directed
to give his little farm, worth $750, to
the campaign, and asking Informa-
tion as to making the deed to it.
In Georgia recently a widow had
saved up $20 In gold toward defray-
ing her funeral expenses when she
should die. .She became so heartened
by the $75,000,000 campaign that slto
decided she would live a good while
yet, so she sent the $20 In gold to the
campaign fund.
A 13 year old boy In Oeorgla was
sick unto death with Influenza. His
mother had dedicated him 19 God as
a foreign missionary. The lad had
saved up $25 from his small earn-
ings. On being told that he would
not recover from hla sickness, he said,
"I want the I/>rd to have the money I
have saved, nnd I want It to be used
In the $75,000,000 campaign." Ac-
cordingly the $25 was sent In to the
fund at Nashville.
Dr. George W. Lea veil, a medical
missionary to China, was recently of-
fered a salary of $15,000 to do social
relief work in China. His salary as
a missionary Is hardly one-seventh of
that amount, but he declined the
government offer, saying he pre-
ferred to use this opportunity of
making his life count in the work of
the redemption of China.
A missionary t0 China who Is at-
home on a furlough, and who Is al-
ready giving one fourth of inj-
ury to religious work, has recentl/
given $250 to the campaign.
In the pine forests of I<ouislana is
un association made up of small vil-
lage and country churches. The body
met recently, and the quota assigned
them seemed Impossible. But after
an entire day spent In prayer, a lay-
man, hardly able to walk, arose and
made a motion that the quota be ac-
cepted, Then a young dentist from
a small village church urose and said
"I move to amend the motion by mak-
ing the quota of this association $t00,-
000, with the understanding that I
psy one tenth of It." The amend-
ment to the motion was adopted.
In the mountain districts of one of
the southern states the association was
I11 session and they were calllr\g for
volunteers to act as organizers of-Hie
women. No response came for quit#
a while. Finally a timid woman
spoke up and said, "I can not wrlto
my name, but if you will tell nria
what to do, I will do my best for this
campaign. It Is tho first one I have
seen that looked like it amounted to
something, and It must succeed."
The stories of heroism created by
the movement are adding momentum
each cday to the campaign, and the
Baptists are being heartened as tho
campaign progresses.
