Tills book lias just been pictured by William 1'arnum for tho Eox Film CorporntI in. Zane Groy Is a typical American novelist, who knows his country nnd characters from pcrscmal experi ence, and William Earnum is the film typo of the American plonour, ranger, rider and nll-'round man pictured as the hero in this book. Therefore nobody Intt.restod In real Americans stories should miss Wm. Famum In "Rldors of tho Purple Sago," at the. Sliony thcalro today and tomorrow. Lafsiter, central flcuro In Zane Grey's famous novel, according to tho -author's own description, is a big, muscular, . sun-browned man, wearing clinking silver spurs on high-heeled bcota and black leather chaps, against which two black-but ted guns in low-hanging holsters ar hard to distinguish. When Lassftcr "clears for action," Iiq "drops his sombri ro, makes a rapid movement, singular In that It loaves him snmewlMt crouched, arm.--bent and stiff, wl'h the big, bleak gun sncaths swung round to the fore." No wonder tho "rustlers" took to the tall sage when Lassite inlimb3red for action. Also a comedy and the Ford Week ly will be shown. DOCTOR KARKEET HAS NARROW ESCAPE Exciting Experience of Dr. Karkeet. Formerly of Hot Lake Sanatorium The following from the Oregon Jour nal will be of local interest inasmuch as Dr. Karkeet was formerly with the Hot Lake Sanatorium. The Journa' says: Cut off from other escape by flames eating their way through the upstairs hall of his home. Dr. Robert H. Kar keet of 192H Beuhln Vista terrace, King's Heights, jumped from tho sec ond story window of his home this morning with a child under each arm. Mrs. Karkeet, confused by smoke and unable to reach the stairs, then slid down a low roof and dropped, al most fniting from smoke and fright into her husband's arms. The doctor .and his wife were awak ened by smoke. Mrs. Karkeet attempt ed to run down the stairs to tho street, while Karkeet ran to the children's room through the flames, but before he could get back with the children, his way was cut off. Dr. Karkeet grabbed' a loaded revolver, fired all the shots with tho hope of arousing the neigh bors and then jumped out of the win dow with the children. The wife had run back, in the mean time, and climbed from a window to the coof over the kitchen. "XII Irl ISAKKILIl" The wonderfully vivid and pic turesque Alaskan romances of Rex Beach have been road by so many millio-ns of our people that Mr. Iloach is today rbo most popular of American authors. His most widely read story is "The Barrier." which will be shown In film form at (be Star theatre on Saturday and Sunday. The picture closely follows tho swift action and striking situ ations of the book :r.d Is a faithful portray.il of adventuie nnd romance Of lll'o In Alaska in the days when that lan'd was the haven of hunted men and the last frontier of civili zation.
