ST. JAMES THEATRE.

"Trailing the Killer."

( A primitive battle to a finish, fang against claw and no quarter asked or given is the sensational high light of I the picture, "Trailing the Killer," which commences at the St. James Theatre next Friday. This startling motion picture marks an innovation in screen presentation, depicting as it does a vivid drama of the north-west woods, in true narrative form, and Dresented almost entirely by a cast of animal actors. The thrilling climax is a desperate finish between Caesar and a puma, which has killed the dog's master In his blind anger over the loss of his friend and master, Caesar reverts to type and in a frenzy of rage attacks the most dangerous animal to be found on the North American continent. Astounding as this incident is, it is but one of a series of intenselyinteresting scenes of wild life, wmcn are as unusual and thrilling as anything that ever came out of the jungles. "Caesar," the canine star, one of the most perfect animals of this striking breed ever developed, displays a degree of intelligence that is phenomenal. Mere humans must take second place in "Trailing the Killer," and Francis McDonald, as the trapper, Jose de la Cruz as a sheepherder, are among, the five players appearing in this unique screen play. The balance of the cast is composed of mountain lions, wolves wild-cats, rattlesnakes, goats, and other woodland denizens. Herman Kaymaker, director of many of the best "Hin-Tin-Tin" pictures, also directed this picture, which is unlike anything yet presented on the screen.
