"WHERE THE CROWDS GO"
"The Crown Prince's
Double"
A FIVE PART VITAGKAPH BLUE RIBBON
FEATURE PRESENTING
Maurice Costello
AND OTHER EMINENT VITAGKAPH ARTISTS
SYNOPSIS—Ostrau, a mythical principality in the shadow of
the Pyrenees, and America furnish the scene of "TIIE CROWN
PRINCE'S DOUBLE," a five-part drama of mystery just under-
taken for production of the Vitagraph Company under the direc-
tion of Van Dyke Brooke. "THE CROWN PRINCE'S DOUBLE"
was picturized by Anna Mehring from "The Riddle and the
Ring:," a popular magazine story by Gilbert Patten, and will pre-
sent Maurice Costello in the dual role of Barry Lawience, an im-
petuous American, and Prince Oscar, the son of King Gustave of
Ostrau, Norman Talmadge as Shirley Rives, and Andres Randoll
as Baron Hager, Chief of the Ostrau Secret Service. The re-
markable resemblance of two men furnishes the mystery ele-
ments in the story, whose action fluctuates between the little
European principality and America, and is replete with ten3e
dramatic action and a decided note of human interest in a love
story in which mistaken identity figures. One of the big scenes
in "THE CROWN PRINCE'S DOUBLE" is the visualization of
an uprising in which over seven hundred people will be used in
a picturesque attempt to dethrone a king.

"The American Road" is the name
of a book just published by Pfof. J. I.
Tucker of the school of civil engineer-
ing of the University of Oklahoma,
consulting engineer for the Oklahoma
highway commission. Although the
volume has been in the hands of the
public only a short time, it is already
attracting attention from road enthu-
siasts all over the southwest, who de- 115 East Main
clare the volume fills a need that no
other published work fills.
Throughout the 229 pages of read-
ing matter and illustrations, the high-
way expert treats specifically of the
problems confronting the road build-
ers of Oklahoma, taking up every kind
of road building from simple grading
< i dirt highways to paving for

required. As all three are large stal-

their pleas are regarded as ridiculous.
Baker charges that Wilson kicked him
on the shins when he (Baker) tried to
put him in a cell, and he had to use a
rope on him to subdue him.
The trial is creating much interest
in Oklahoma City, ana it is very evi-

ment.
