What You Will See
Vivid scenes, strong action, picturing thp
passions of true men, dance hall scenes in the.
Alaskan frontier towns, wanton murder in the
streets of Nome, the seizure of the valuable
mine, the Midas, by a political boas, the or
ganization of vigilantes, the blowing up of this
valuable mine, gambling hall scenes, the awful
night Helen Chester, a pure innocent girl,
spent in the Roadhouse alone with the passion
crazed Struve, then that terrible bare fisted
fight between two hate maddened men, the
coming of the law, and the onward march of
civilization to a barren rugged country, all of
which has gone to form a part of history. All
of these scenes and many others are wonder
fully, graphically and interestingly portrayed.
"The Spoilers" is a wonderful picture.
Over 144,000 distinct photographs were token
covering 14,500 feet of film which wag care
fully reduced down to 9,000 that takes tjvo
hours and fifteen minutes to run. ; '
YOU WILL SEE what thousands of
others have seen. In Los Angeles one hundred
thousand bsw the picture in two weeks. In
San Francisco thousands were turned away
the first week of its run there. Return en
gagements have been played In every city of
any size in the United States.
YOU WILL SEE what money can do when
' competent men are told to go ahead and pro
duce the greatest picture that America has
ever known.

BY REX BEACH ;
A thrilling red-blooded story of strong men
battling for supremacy in Alaska Gold Fields.
A THRILLING POWERFUL PICTURESQUE MASTERPIECE
To-day Last Day
Make an extra effort to be in your seat at the
beginning of a performance so you will
enjoy it to the full extent
In Addition an Act of High Class Vaudeville
You are hot afraid to get
a real good whipping are you?
Mr. Farnum asked Mr. Santschi when they
were ready to play the fight scene which oc
curs in Strove' office. Mr. Santachi replied
that he waa not and at the same time asked
Mr. Farnum If he wanted to make it a real
fight. . Mr. Farnum replied that he waa very
anxious to, so they went at it with the result
that you will gee one of the most realistic en-'
counters that was ever put in a play.
A battery of five cameras was trained on
, the pair and not an Incident was lost.
A whole mining town was' bought .and
blown to pieces, thirty vessels were chartered,
in fact everything was done to make this one
of the most realistic pictures ever staged. -
The taming of a primitive man by a sweet,
innocent girl is the big crux of this romance
that ig carried out with simple, sympathetic
deftness, and the contrast between Cherry Mai
lotte and Helen Dexter is another tremendous
ly fascinating force in the story.
Kathlyn Williams never .did as conscien- -tious
work or reach the heights of guccesg she
has in "The Spoilers" as the good-hearted idol
of the camp. . , , ;, -
Bessie Eyeton ag Helen Dexter carries you
along with her, heart and soul: When she
makes the leap from the topmost deck of the
ship to the waters of the Bay, swims to the
dark pier, one sees decisive action that makes
you forget Uiat it is not real.
WILLIAM FARNUM as Glenister has
erected his own monument in the memory of
mankind by his akilful handling of the part of
the hero. He is a man's man and a woman's
ideal of the masculine.
