If you want to see an audience key ed up to the highest pitch, waich one while "Jim, the Mule Boy," is uutoid- lug its story 6n the screen. Probably for the first time in the history of film ("rama, scenes in the depths o.' the e:uth, in a coal mine in this instance, are convincingly shown. 1 "Jim, the Mule Boy," the sole sup port of his blind father and a moth.r a:.l v. small sister, is stopped at thu entrance to the mine into which he is driving his car by the small son of the owner of the mine. The lad wants to ride on the car down Into the depths of the ground. Jim puts him oif laughingly, but while he is attending to his lunch the small boy hides upon the end of the car and unknown to Jim, becomes a passenger. When Jim discovers him down in ths farthest re cesses of the mine, he starts at once to take him back to the surface to his father. , Then an explosion occurs, and we see the walls of the shaft fall In, blocking ths exit of the boys and prac tically entombing them. Above ground the father misses his little son, and starting a search, is faced by the same explosion. He summons a rescue par ty to begin work at once. AVe see the mule eating the straw from his collar and Jim digging a hole in the coal Into which a little water seeps, which he gathers in his cap and gives to his small charge, keeping for himself only what remains in the cap after he has squeezed it as dry as possible. Then the boys aban don hope and the little lad offers up a prayer to the Father above. ! In the middle of It Jim's practised ear hfars a sound in the distance. The blows of a pick resound far off in the earth. When finally the wall of rock is tumbled down and the rescuers' heads appear, the boys are too weak to lift themselves to greet them. But of course they are ljprne quickly to the surface, and the proprietor re wards Jim not only with a deed for a house and lands and a promise of steady work for himself, but also with a handshake, which honor Is probably more dearly prized than the house and lands. There Is novelty, pathos and keen reality In every foot of this wonderful film. To Cure a Cold In One Dny. Take laxative brono qu. nine tab lets. DrugglBts refund money if it fails to curt. E. W.
