REPUBLIC, Fighting Trail," the Greater Vitagraph serial which will begin its run at the Royal Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 5th, is said to be the most remarkable thing of the kind ever produced. It is a story of mystery, intrigue, love and adventure- -with accent on the latter -set in the vast reaches of the American mountains. Of the 32,000 feet of film which make up the fifteen episodes of the play, only a tew feet, it is declared, show interiors. All the rest of it is outdoor photography and for this reason it has been labelled "the first all-outdoor serial serial ever made." Most of the scenes were taken in the Yosemite Valley and other sections of the Sierra Nevadas and the picture is said to contain some of the finest mountain photography ever registered by the camera.

William Duncan, remembered for his splendid work in the Wall" and other big Vitagraph features, directed the picture and played the leading role. The heroine is Carol Holloway. Others in the cast are George Holt, Joe Ryan, one of the greatest riders in the world, and Walter Rodgers. An unique feature of this big serial is that Miss Holloway is the only wo man character in the picture, and with the exception of a few crowd scenes, the only one who appears in it. The picture was eight months in the making and more than 1,000 persons were used in one scene- -the burning of a town.

For this a modern town with more than 200 buildings was built just to have the torch applied to it. Harry Coons, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
