he is helpless and to see the Major
jumping about at that task, with the
netted leopard acting like a Kansas cy
clone, truly is worth the price of ad
mission. Now and -not until now a dusky na
tive or two appear and carry off the
prize while the doughty Major refreshes
himself with a cigarette. The whole in
cident reminds you vaguely that the

ancestry. In the Imperial Roman glad

Major Jack Allen has made a series
of short motion pictures showing hiti J
metnoas ot capturing lions, leopards
and panthers alive and unhurt. These
pictures are released through Pathe
Film Exchanges and they give the mo
tion picture audiences thrills which
and atmosphere which usually finds
its way into a five or six-reel produc
tion has been condensed into two
reels in the dramas featuring Tom
Santschi which is now being- booked
by the Pathe Film Exchange, Inc., at
Charlotte. This series is proving on
of the most popular two-reel series of
Western films ever released, said Man
ager E. E. Heller.
The first of the series, "Beyond the
Trail," has a distinct Western flavor.
Instead of taking stock Western
"shots," however, the director has
gone straight into the canyons, the
plains and the hills of Utah and Col
orado and has produced a beautiful
concepl ion of the West, as the back
ground for a tale of sincere human
appeal. Practically every out-door scene
in "Beyond the Trail" affords a vision
of natural grandeur never before pho
tographed, and from this viewpoint
alone it is a very worth-while produc
tion. Tom Santschi, the stalwart hero of
! the story, is a typical son of the West.
Perhaps his greatest characterization
before this was in "The Spoilers"," by
Rex Beach. He is described as the
fastest-drawing, and kindest-hearted
Westerner on the screen.

PATHE NEWS
A Pleasing Comedy
LLOYD COMEDY
SETS A RECORD
For Five Consecutive Weeks
Harold Lloyd Played on
Unique Pathe Program, p
Hardly more than six months ago,
an exhibitor in a big town building his
program of nothing but short subjects,
would have been considered committing
box-office suicide. Then Samuel L.
Rothafel of the Capitol theater, New
York city, staged a bill composed en
tirely of short features with a Harold
Lloyd comedy headlining. The suc
cess of the innovation was immediate.
Soon other exhibitors tried the ex
periment and found it profitable. Now
it's a matter of fact policy among big
exhibitors to show short subject pro
grams.
But from Los Angeles comes a story
of the remarkable drawing power of
these one, two and three-reel subjects
never before dreamed of by the Indus
trv. The Symphony theater, live
weeks aero. started playing Harold
Lloyd in "Never Weaken" and a pro
gram completed by Pathe short sub
jects.
On November 6, the Symphony start
ed its fifth big week with "Never
Weaken" still headlining, and with
Pathe short subjects completing the
remainder of the entertainment. On
the bill appeared fhe Pathe Review,
Aesop's Fables, "The' Mountain Lion,"
one or the "Bill and Bob" series, and
the HDlman Day two reeler, "Brother
to the Bear."
This program stopped being an ex
periment the first night it was shown
five weeks ago. The Symphony has
never done the business with any fea
ture that has been brought to the box
office by its short subjects program.
Only the regular advertising appro
priation was used by the Symphony in
promoting this bill, which in itself is a
strong indication of the power of short
subjects at the box-office. Adv.

IT is hard to realize what a vast difference a few well- .
chosen pieces of Karpen Furniture can make in an
ordinary living room. Clothed in comfortable furnishings,
home takes on a new nieaning. Instead of a deserted
place during that brief lapari between dinner and bedtime,
the living room becomes the center of family life.
Many new designs of Karpen overstuffed davenports, com
fortable arm chairs and beautifully woven fiber-rush
furniture are now on special exhibition in our show
rooms.. We will be happy to help you make a selection. "
