ACTOR AUTHOR IN
SOCIAL HIGHWAYMAN,
A REMARKABLE MAN
It is seldom that a photoplay actor
can be termed a three-in-or.“ person
ality, but such is the sobriquet used
in reference to Edwin August, lead
ing man, director and author, who
will star in the% coming Peerless
World Film Corporation s great five
part feature of extraordinary ment.
“The Social Highwayman,” which
will be shown Sunday.
Edwin August served his appren
ticeship on the legitimate stage. He
entered the silent profession first as
actor, and turned his genius to photo
play writing. From actor-author he

was advanced to leading man and
then to director, having been engaged
by the directors of the World Film to
star, direct and write exclusively for
World productions in the future.
The story of “The Social Highway
man” is that of Curtis Joffray, whose
boy ideal is Claude DuVal, who stole
from the rich to give to the poor.
Curtis was the offspring of a mesalli
ance which resulted in his being
brought up in such bitter poverty
that his mother, before his birth, was
driven to thievery to obtain food.
When Curtis reached the age of
twelve the parents were horrified at
the discovery that he had inherited
through pre-natal influences a tend
ency to steal. How in later years,
when he inherited the title and estates
of his grandfather, the fashionable
stratum of society is startled by a
series of daring thefts, his social sec
retary kills the Countess Rosi, his
wife who deserted him in formv
years, and later kills himself, declar
ing in his dying words, that he com
mitted the mystifying thefts, is all
•excellently portrayed in this melo
drama in which is interspersed one of
the sweetest romances ever filmed. It
is a sociological play different from
the rest and one that is bound to
| please.
COMMENCE ON
WARM STORAGE
FOR PRODUCE
To provide warm storage for per
ishables a structure with double walls
30 by 40 feet will be erected on the
U. S. railroad dock just south of the
present warehouse.
A crew of carpenters commenced
work on the structure this morning.
When this is complete protection
will be provided for all produce for
transfer to westward as well as for
local delivery, so that boats can dis
charge at anytime during the winter
without danger of the perishables
freezing before deliveries can be
made to local merchants. Under the
present and past system the Alaska
Transfer company had to have its
teams out in sufficient force to handle
the produce as it was landed during
the cold snaps.
CRIS EVANS ONCE
BOLD BANDIT,
DIES IN PEACE
PORTLAND, Saturday, Feb. 10.—
Cris Evans, one of the most notorious
train robbers in the west in the early
’90’s when he was a partner with John
Sontag, died here today.
Evans had been out on parole for
a number of years and lead an ex
emplary life.
Sontag and Evans lived in the vi
cinity of Fresno, California, and af
ter some differences between Evans
and the railroad officials he turned
bandit. For some time his connection
with the train robberies was not
known and when the sheriff of Fresno
county heard that Evans was suspect
ed he refused to believe it as they had
been friends. “I'll go right out and
see Cris," said the sheriff, and those
were his last words for as he ap
proached the Evans’ residence he was
shot dead. From then on it was a
fight to the finish and in the final
battle Sontag was killed and Evans
fearfully wounded.
