Takes Lead Role in “The Plun
derer”—Other Big Features
This Week.
The Strand program will be devoted
to magnificent features this week be
ginning .Monday and Tuesday with a
Fox Film drama featuring William
Farnum and entitled "The Plunderer."
It Is a thrilling romance of the lure
of yellow gold in the Far West. It
has many remarkable features, not
the least of which is the fight scene.
The fight in "The Plunderer" is the
most thrilling bare-knuckjed battle
ever filmed It is positively terrific in
its ferociousness. Farnum, single-
handed, fights and bests a score of
drink-mad and hate-crazed Western
miners. He toys with the enraged
physical giants like an aroused Titan,
as, with his bare knuckles, he ham
mers them into insensibility, aveng
ing the murder of his aged friend. Old
Bells Parks. To get the full realism
of the part, the actor conditioned him
self for eight weeks just as rigorously
as if he had been going after the
heavyweight ohamplonshiip. In freez
ing weather he rose at 5:30 a. m. at
his country place at Sag Harbor. L. I.,
and under the stern eye of a trainer
jogged ten miles over the frozen roads
while his mentor rode at ea6e in an
automobile. Then came a swift dip in
the icy waters of the harbor from the
dock on his estate; followed a brisk
rub-down and breakfast. After a brief
rest, Mr. Farnum spent most of the
morning in his gymnasium, sparring
and dallying with the medicine ball.
In the afternoon came another Jog
over the roads, and then a very light
dinner and bed.
On Wednesday and Thursday Cap
tain Mason's wonderfully amazing
and thrilling tale of heroism, entitled
"Four Feathers," wilt he shown, fea- !
luring the romantic actor Howard Ka-
tabrook. The story of Uantaln A. K.
VV. Mason’s "Four Feathers" concerns
Harry Feversham, son of General
Feversham. who. at a banquet at hie
father's house, hears stories of war,
death and torture, and fears that when
put to the test he can not "make
good.” But his nature chances, und
he wades through seas -of blood and
wins the martial glory which gives
him the girl he loves
Friday William S. Hart will be the
star In a Mutual masterpiece entitled
"The Darkening Trial," which is a viv
id story of Alaska. Mr. Hart takes
the role of Yukon Ed, and Is sup
ported by a strong cast
On Saturday Margarita Fischer,
who is regarded aa the most beautiful
woman in the screen drama to-day,
