SQUATTER" OFFERED

TO LYRIC PATRONS

East Meets West in Thrilling

Love Romance Here Next Monday. The Squatter Fred Hearne His Daughter Edna Payne Roger Latham Robert W. Frazer Elias Wilcox Will Sheerer Dramas of the West, possessing the freshness of "The Squatter," when told with the same vigor and charm will always strike a responsive chord in the heart of the public. In three reels, "The Squatter" is a romance of the real modern cattle ranch. The Eclair has produced it, and both author and actors have taken pains to see that there is that forcefulness which will grip you. It will do your heart good to follow young Roger to the West, in his efforts to clean up a certain bad man, to follow him through his courtship of Molly. Molly is a girl of the golden west, with all the instincts born of the open

life predominating. Young Roger, on the other hand, is a product of the East, manly withal, but still foreign to the West and its ways. The way love makes a common basis for everything is another interesting feature of this tale. American goods are found extensively in tropical Africa, even three hundred miles from the coast.
