MARK TWAIN STORY USED AS
BQpK PU
Mark Twain's famous story, "Life
on the, Mississippi," was used as a
text book by James Cruze in filming
his latest production for. Paramount,
"The Fighting Coward."
The producer, who carried a large
company of players and technicians
to Natchez on the Mississippi river.
found Mark Twain's book was held
in th'e highest respect by "old-timers',
days of 1850 according to the tradi-
tions, which canie to them through
their parents.
"The Fighting Coward,'" which
was adapted to the screen by Walter
Woods from a recent stage plav,
"Magnolia," by Booth Tarkington,
deals with the days before the Civil
War in the South.
Ernest Torrence, Mary Astor,
Noah Beery, Phyllis Haver and Cul-
len Landis are the featured play-
ers. f .
This great picture will be, shown
nt.the new Palace Theatre, December
22hd and 23rd.

such high degree of efficiency, has
