When the alarm was given the firemen made a quick response and in a very few minutes two lines of hose were playing on the flames. How- ever, before the fire was under con- trol an hour or se later, consider- able damage was done to the build- ing and contents, meluding a large number' of pulleys and quantity of belting. The wooden tumblers were: also damaged. The origin of the fire has not been ascertained, but the loss is covered by insurance The building will be put into shape again as soon as possible, Whitby H.

Then comes the ace of Western stars, Tom Mix, in the feature attraction "The Best Bad Man," and we might go on record here, as saying it is the finest thing we have seen - this famous horseman in during our time of watching him in his past screen productions, As usual, Tony, his almost hu- 'Iman horse plays a prominent part in the picture which opens in New Orleans at the annual Mardi Gras, but quickly shifts to the rugged country of Colorado where thrill after thrill, mingled with warm ro- mance bring the picture to an ex- citing finish. Plenty of comedy is injected by Tom Wilson, famous for his blackface roles, Mix has chosen vivacious Clara Bow for his leading lady and she lends plenty of en- chantment in her scenes through- out the story. Cyril Chadwick plays the heavy to good advatage. The entire programme is all 10 be desired, and should draw packed houses the remainder of the week. At all performances Itomorrow, the second chapter of "Wild West" depicting life in the cow coun'ry and 'neath the big tops of the cir- cus will be an added attraction 10 the regular bill. ------ AT THE NEW MARTIN Practically every member of the cast in "The Storm Breaker," Universal- Jewel production in starring House Peters and which is now showing at the New Martin Theatre, had stage experience before entermg pictures. And many of them were as great a favorite on the speaking stage as they are today on the screen. House Peters, the star of this great production, had a most varied and in- teresting stage carcer. After being mustered out of the army at the end took to acting. One of his big success- es was in "The Squaw Man," but he has played everything from "East Lynne" and "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" to William Shakespeare's im- mortal dramas. : Ray Hallor, who has a prominent role in "The Storm Breaker," gained much valuable experience during the two seasons he spent with Maude Adams. He was also in vaudeville. Nina Romano, who, with Ruth Clif - ford, is cast in one of the two leading feminine roles, also made a stage name for herself before going into pic- tures, acting mostly in society plays. Gertrude Claire had an extensive stage career in repertoire and at one time managed her own stock company. Emmett King played with such old- time stage stars as James O'Neil, Frank Mayo, Mrs. Patrick Campbell and many others, while Jere Austin 'also looks back with pleasure to the time he spent behind the footlights. Mark Fenton, another veteran of the stage, played Shakespeare drama with the great Booth and Barrctt. He also appeared with Otis Skinner and the famous Madame Modjeska. Lon Pofi spent several years on the stage before going into pictures. Among the stars with whom he played was the famous Nat Goodwin.
