REAL BULLETS IN MIX PLAY.

I A remarkable feature of all Tom1' [Mix's pictures, whereby the element; of real danger is always present, isthat Mix never uses blanks in shoot--ing scenes—only bullet cartridges.. In the taking of such scenes ire "Fame and Fortune," his .latest play,/ which is to be shown at the Palacer Theatre to-night, Sid Jordan, expert marksman, stood behind the camera-^ man with a loaded Winchester. When)■* you see Tom's hat shot off, or a, glass smashed in his hand, or a cigar" clipped from his mouth,' ; you' ar© seeing the real thing! In one of? the scenes in "Fame and Fortune"; Sid Jordan, with his trusty rifle,! clips off a cigar not two inches from; Mix's .lips. In the actual.' work this hazardous shot was tried no fewer than three times. The supporting films include a Sunshine ■com edyi "Mongriels," and a Mutt and Jeff' screamer, "The Bolsheviks." ThePalace Orchestra will play • to-night.. The usual matinee will be held to-morrow at'2.3o. '
