Kerrigan fans who have watched and ad- mired the biff "cowboy" as be appears In "Flvlng A" productions, would have found food tor reflection In the result of an cx- Serlence which befell the picture last week, lerrlgan, In company of II. D. Armstrong and one of the cowboys, went to visit a genuine, dycd-ln-thc-wool ranch, lying In a remote region off Santa Barbara, Cal. They found cowboys of the old school, the kind that have had countless feet of motion pic- tures and numberless volumes of books. Ker- rigan began his experience by nearly shoot- ing his foot off with a Colt that did not have blank cartridges In it. The company, upon asking for rooms, were told that thcro wero about eighteen thousand acres in the ranch, and tbey were welcome. They shot a deer and dined on real Jerky, and had numerous other experience* befitting real cowboys. When the party returned they had taken three thousand feet of pictures, which advance re- ports claim, will be unique in the history of ranch pictures. The ranch In question Ilea two days' ride from railroads or other civili- sation, and Is one of the few old fashioned ranches still extant In the West. The Father Marquette Storr. In addition to the two reel subject of "The Story of Storved Rock," completed at Starved Hock, III., by the partv of American "Flying A" players encamped there, a second two reel lms been made dealing with early life of Father Marquette. It la no exaggeration to any that handsomer backgrounds have never been seen In motion pictures. Inasmuch as the region In and about Starved Rock -has always lieen noted for its marvelous canyons, rapid streams and remarkable rock forma- tions. The Btory begins with Father Mar- quette as n cnvnller In France, hla love afTnlr with a royal beauty, and his depnrturo for America as a missionary. So little Is known of the rcolly astonishing part played by the French priest in discovering the upper Mis- sissippi, his many plans and charts, locating coal Burveys .- ports to the French crown on the length, depth and tides of the Great Lakes, that it is be- lieved this two reel subject will attract wide comment among all classes of people. Much of the material used was obtained from the archives of the Chicago Historical Society. The story ends with the death of Father Mar- quette on his Journey home at the Michigan city now bearing bis name. Two Reel Andrew Jaokson Storr. The Starved Rock party of "Flying A" Slayers have Just completed a two reel sub- cct on the Interesting theme of Andrew uckson. The pictures are historically ac- curate, and dealing with to commanding a figure as Andrew Jackson, aro certain of ap- preciation. The school boy has been given much consideration in the layout of the scenario. For Instance, that famous duel be- tween Andrew Jackson and 'Dead Shot Dick- inson," Is faithfully portrayed as per EJgcle- ston'a Illstory of toe V. 8., and the valuable trcntlse written by William Allan White. Students will remember the boast made by Dickinson to shoot Jackson through the but- ton which covered Jackson's heart, and the lattcr's crafty stratagem In moving that but- ton some distance to the left The battle of New Orleans la also portrayed, despite much discouragement In obtaining the proper mili- tary costumes of the period. That last final charge of the English on the mud wall forti- fications Is as fine a bit of action as ever seen In spectacular military productions. s NEW THEATRE FOR THE BRONX. William T. Sullivan will build a one story theatre, 80.2x120.4. on the Southern Boule- vard, North of Wllklns Avenue. Plans filed by Architect Norman Lcdcrer placo the cost nt $12,000. ■ THEATRE MANAGER INSOLVENT. Albert Reck, who managed n theatre at 1042 Webster Avenue, Tremont, from May 1 to July 0, filed a petition Aug. 28, with liabilities of 115,548, and no assets. "Kino Robsbt of Sicily/' Longfellow's wonderful poem of tbe scoffing ruler who was deposed by an angel and made Jester at his own court until, humiliated by tbe taunts and scorn of the lowliest courtiers and pages of the realm, he bowel bis head meekly In the dust and prayed fervently for the salvation of his guilty soul, Is now In course of production by the Essanay Eastern Stock Co., In three magnificent reels. The poem affords a wealth of material for a masterpiece pageant, the costuming being specially fine and the settings massive and of an extraordinary nature. Director Web- ster Is staging the immense production. Thb Essanay Co. recently had tbe pleasure of entertaining Charles Vance, proprietor of the Dawn Theatre, of Streator, 111., and Charles McNamera, city clerk, during the ex- hibitors' convention. They were conducted through the big Btudlo and plant, and upon returning home evidently were enthused over their visit, for a copy of the Streator paper forwarded, contains half a column from which we quote the following: "The great feature of the Streator men's visit to Chicago was the Inspection of the Essanay Film Manu- facturing Co.'s plant. They spent nearly a whole day at this establishment and they re- port It the most wonderful placo they have ever had the pleasure of visiting. There they saw Just how everything pertaining to the manufacture of films Is made. Tbey were shown through every department, and every- thing of Interest waB explained to them. During their visit they were introduced to nil the principal actors and actresses that work for the Essanay people. There Is a small army of these, ana they arc kept busy posing for the various pictures turned out by this up-to-date company. Many of the people were those seen every day by the Streator people who attend the moving pictures here. They were very pleasant people, and gave the Streator men quite an insight Into their part of the moving picture business." Alkali Ike Is here again I This bully WcBtcrn comedy, to be released during tbe last two weeks of September, Is unques- tionably the funniest In theme and title ever released. How's this for a title: "Alkali Ike's Pants." Doesn't It JOBt reek with comic possibilities, and can't you Just pic- lure In your mind's eye the frantic time little Augustus Carney, world famous for bis Sreat character role. Is going to have before alngs are untangled and fill trousers are restored to him? You all know by this time what a tidal wave of laughter has rocked the world over "Alkali Ike Plays the Devil," re- leased Aug. 27, so don't miss a single one of tills rollicking series. Each one Is a master- piece. » COLEMAN BR09.' NEW THEATRE.
