The Tales of HofT man and during the two hours enter A great deal of Interest is being taken in Al Jennings as shown at the Arcade theatre tonight for the last night. The story is the life of this famous prisoner who a few months ago ran for governor in his own state, with his prison career known to all. The Arcade patrons like the story the film part is good and the tale in tensely instructive and uplifting. Ladies Like A! Judging from the large attendance of ladies present at the showing of "Beating Back" it would seem that Al Jennings one time bandit now evang list, is in high favor with the gentler sex. Many people believing Mr. Jen nings to be a big man are greatly sur prised to hear that the man who stir red up so much commotion in Indian Territory in the early days Is only five feet tall, weighs one hundred and twenty pounds, wears a number four shoe, and has a voice like velvet. The clear cut countenance with the massive jaw mark him as a man of strong character and will asset. That self study and self train ing should be taught early in l.fo. That crime is always punished, that a clean life -is Hs own reward. There are many tense moments in this six loci version of Al Jennings life story, and the moral is for old as well as young. "Beating Back" will be con tinued at the Arcade. ': Prison Officials Like It As a compliment to the picture comes a letter from the superinten dent of the Walla Walla penitenti ary. . It says: " L.
