The announcement was made sim
ultaneously by Mr. J. D. Williams,
President of Ritz-Carlton Pictures.
I and by Mr. Valentino, on the eve
• of the Utter's departure for Europe.
The question of the star's future
on the screen has been a matter of
wide spread, comment and specuU
which called for great sums of
money have been made to him and
refused Mr. Valentino’s decision,

Mr. Williams, whose vision led

j "LIVE AND LET LIVE”
LAST TIME COLISEUM
William Christy Caban no, v. *!
known Robcrtson-Cole director, whose
“Live and Let Live" is entertaining
local (11m fans at the Coliseum Thea
tre, is one of the most indefatig
able workers in tile motion pirtnis
industry. In the past year and a half
he has, as author and director of
“The Stealers" and "What's a Wife
Worthboth Robertson Cole ape
clads, taken his place with the real
i leaders of his profession.
This is, perhaps, not so surprising
when Mr. Cabanne's theories on tin
mission of tin1 photoplay are. con
sidered: first, to entertain, then tn
evoke thought. It is an ideal which
he has carried out in every phase o[
his work and as a result lias given
to the screen productions which have
1 called forth the enthusiastic praise of
| critics and public alike.
HERBERT RAWLINSON
AT PALACE SUNDAY
"Pack up your troubles in your old
ldt bug and smile, smile, smile!”
That might have been the motto of
tin? hero in “The Scrapper,' but there
isn't any record of the fact. "The
Scrapper” is the Universal special at
traction starring Herbert Kawllnson
which comes to the Palace Theatre
Sunday night. j
Its' tlie story of al dashing young
Irishman right out of college and en
dowed with a hankering for two
tilings—work and romance. And he
has the sunniest sort of a nature.
If he's winning, his only boast is,
•'1 had ye there- yes 1 did!"
Gertrude Olmstead, the. prize win
ning beauty of pictures, is the leading
woman opposite Kawllnson.
MELODRAMA AT
COLISEUM TOMORROW
The public likes sensation and
melodrama. It has been proven over
and over again. The public also
likes sensation and melodrama with
a new twist. They are tired of the
old stereotype stuff such as seen in
most serials. They know that a
dummy is used when the hero is
pushed off the cliff. They know an
old battered Ford is use,I when the
car turns turtle. Ami tit re is no
use trying to humbug them
use trying to “humbug” them.
"Sky-Eye” at the Coliseum tomor
row. matinee and night, furnishes
the new twist. It is the (Irst and
only motion picture iu which moatj
of the locale is laid in the clouds. I

camps, at the time when the old
timers boast that tin roaring young
town "had n had man for breakfast
every morning," a young man by Lite
name of William M Htv. k, midge
As a deputy sheriff urulm the ia
motts Sheriff “Johnny Behan, the
youngster, still in his twenties then
became famous for his handling out
outlaws, “bad men” of the South
west whose names have been handed
down from generation in generation,
lion.
Wedn< sday night Col W, M. Block
enridge arrived hen to visit for a
week with his m phew. Maj. George
1>. • Beaun^ont. Col. lire.-keui-gige
and the deputy sherill "Billy" Breck
enridge of Tombstone. Cochise Comi
ty, Arizona, happen to lie one and
the same person. I Ms love for ad
venture led him to Tombstone in
the van of the venturesome spirits
who Hocked to the guv; silver min
ing camp. Although lit years have
passed and a lot of water gone un
der tin* bridge slurp he went single
handed into Qaleyville and got “Curly
Bill,” the “lle-Wolf" of the San Si
moil, to go with him to collect per
sonal taxes. Col. Hreckonridge has
enough of the old pioneering Wood
left to hear the call 'of the last fron
tier, so he came along to see it as
the guest of Maj. Beaumont.
“Quiet Young Fellow”
Some of ltis exploits, two in par
ticular. are Included in Frederick
It. Bechdoll's hook, “When the West
Was Young.” He is willing to talk
about these two when pressed hht
modestly evades and turns the talk
mi Alaska when asked In give more.
Mr. Bochdolt described him as “one
of those quiet youths who preface
their remarks with a smile because,
nil things else-being equal, they like
their fellow men."
At that time, from Bechdolt’s ac
count, all Cochise county was a bad
risk for an Insurance .company and
(lie riskiest part of the county was
the eastern and where murderers',
stago'robbers, rattle rnstb rs and
other outlaws had their hangouts.
The bad men from Bitter Creek
howled there daily as well as nightly
:niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini:iii
and the time of dii.fr hrt« measured

Curly Iiill and John Rlngo.
Ail 'r Johnny .If hail, om of the
most noted Southwestern officers of
the law, appointed young Hilly Brock-1
onridge deputy, about ill first job
| he gave him was collecting p r so mil
taxes in this eastern sector. Bech-i
doll describes fully how the deputy
went into CJaleyvllIp, asked for and;
met Curly Hill, and enlisted his aid. j
Breckenrldge, according to Heehdolt,1
‘xplalneil to tin1 outlaw what lie was
out for and wound tip by saying: I
"And tltis end of the <ounty is sort'
af rough. If I'd ride around alone, j
packing that money, somebody's tin
hie to get the best of me when I'm
not looking for it. I've got to have |
la good mail along to help like care
lot that roll. And I'd admire to have
I you make the trip with me."
Taxes Stolen Cattle
Right then and there Curly Bill
I started to work, lit the saloon where i
| the conversation took place he lined,
* up the hunch and gave notice that
I "our end of the county" has got to
I pay taxes. And pay they did. As
Col. Breekonrfdgo sal in Marshal
iJeaiintonl's office yesterday he. re-,
called the trip with the noted gun
man and outlaw. "It was right tunny."
lie said, "to ride up to a rustler's
cabin and tnlleel iixrs on tattle we I
knew lie had stolen. If a fellow did-!
n’t want to pay, Pill would ask if the;
cattle weren't hli property and of
course he had to say they were ami j
then they had to pay. If they didn’t
have the cash It'd made them gi\
me tin order on the cattle buyer at
Galeyville who purchased the sto k
they stole.”
To the end of me chapter Curly!
i Bill nnd the deputy were on friendly
i terms. Young Rreekenrldge rode In !
j to the Sait Simon country as an on-'
I voy of law nnd order without harm.
I Once lie went in nnd brought out j
John Bingo, served a warrant on
I him anil brought him to Tombstone!
without any trouble. And when, after!
giving bail, Itlngo heard that Break !
enridge was liable to lose his job
over some technical defect In the'
i manner in which the hall had been,
| given, the outlaw rode all night to)
! appear In court when (In- charge!
! against him w as called.
When Showdown Came
For two years the young Deputy;
Sheriff came and went among tho|
outlaws, serving his warrants, re !
covering stolen stock occasionally!
and all without ever having to use
force. Oldtlmers withheld judgment j
of his nerve for the “showdown.” It
finally came when two amateur des
| peradoes, tiring of day labor at a
.sawmill, held up the Contention Mill
and killed the man in charge. Breck
enridge was sent after them.
Heehdolt, describing the affair, said
lltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllll
that Behan was absent from Tomb-1
stone and the uniter sheriff made
Brockenrdiga take a posse of three!
men^ despite tlm deputy's protest.
Twenty-tour hours after he It ft
Tombstone the of deer came riding
back beside a lumber wagon. The I
vehicle mad" one stop at the mine,
hospital and unloaded three passe a-1
gers, and a second stop at the under-!
taker's shop and lift two mere. Out'
of the two outlaws a id four mem !
be is (if (lie posse, Bret kenrldge was
the only one to come through on his
feet.
"If they had let me go by myselfj
I'd have got those fellows without
firing a shot," said the Deputy when
ho returned. "Thai blamed posse i
made so much racket the outlaws
thought It was a lynching party and
applied tire on us." Two members
af the posse were killed outright and
the third wounded by the outlaws
nml one of the latter killed and thoj
ather laid out lay the deputy. "I did-j
n’t want any posse. You never cani
tell what they’ll do. I could havei
talk' d the outlaws Into coming with I
me—-If I’d only been alone," said
Col. Ilreckentidgo.
The Colonel retired from the law
ouforcoinelut business many years
ago. He now resides in Tin son,

ARE YOU ALIVE?

Are you getting all the business you can? Are you among the advertisers in The Empire?
If not why not? Did you ever get anything without hustling for it? The Empire is hustling all of the
time. The Empire goes everywhere. Let us hustle for you. Better think it over and then GET ALIVE.
Now is the time to get before the public. Residents who have been away from Juneau for the summer
are returning. School is going to open soon. Better get busy and reach everybody. People are soon
coming in for the winter months. Better get acquainted with them through the Empire, for they will be
