Fox Film drama featuring William
Farnum and entitled “The Plunderer.”
It is a thrilling romance of the lure
of yellow gold in the Fhr West. It
has many remarkable features, not
the least of which Is the tight scene.
The fight in “The Plunderer” Is the
most thrilling bare-knuckled battle
ever filmed. It Is positively terrific In
,ts 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 hie 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 championship. In freez
ing weather he rose at 6:30 a. m. at
his country place at Bag Harbor, L. L,
and under the stern eye of a trainer
Jogged ten miles over the frozen roads
while his mentor rode at ease 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.
