Farnum appears in the Interesting character of Sam Hous ton, a historic rigure In tho early days or Texas,' whose' strong manly vigor and personality carries every thing berore him. Including tho love of the "'TenneBBee Hose," the flower or Southern aristocracy. Houston's rapid rise to power from a rough frontiersman to governor of a state Is one or the most vivid picture stories ever told. ' ' . The battle between the Mexlciin.i and a detachment or Texas rangers and friendly Indiana Is one of the most realistic battle scenes ever filmed and Is even more exciting than other famous battle pictures. "The Conqueror," all in all. Is a wonderful photodrnma, that will take the picture world by storm. Ceneral Sam Houston In 1836, In command of a few hundred raw troops met by about 1000. Mexican veterans, led by Santa Anna, on the banks or the San Juclnto. The battle was a rout ror the Mexicans, and the next day Santa Anna was giiitxw takcu , prisoner.
