Mail Tribune 100: July 8, 1916, continued The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jul. 9, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Jul. 9, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News July 8, 1916 Editor's note: There was no July 9, 1916, paper. FLYING TORPEDO AT THE PAGE TONIGHT A conclave of eminent inventors of the nation, the workshop of a genius, a den of international crooks, and a great battle between troops of this country and those of a foreign coalition, these are some of the scenes and events that make "The Flying Torpedo," at the Page tonight, one of the most thrilling productions that has ever been thrown on the screen. John Emerson, the former Frohman star, and present actor-director of the Fine Arts studio, stars as an eccentric character. As Winthrop Clavering, he is an author of detective stories who is able to "detect." He discovers a Swedish maid in an inventor's house, who is a great admirer of his novels. Bessie Love as the maid finds a clue to the men who cause the death of the inventor. Emerson uses strategy in outwitting the scoundrels who steal the flying torpedo, but if it were not for the maid and the police she brought, Emerson would have lost out. The Government rushes the manufacture of the flying missiles of destruction and they turn the tide for the United States in a desperate crisis in the year 1921. "The Village Blacksmith," which furnishes the laughs on this bill, is simply unblushing slapstick throughout. As is customary in Keystone, the action is so rapid that there is not the slightest danger of anybody's dropping off to sleep. GOLD HILL NUGGETS Frank M. Avery, rural free delivery carrier for the Foots Creek district, met with quite a serious accident Thursday. While going at a lively gait near the Jacobs ranch, in Riverside colony, the cart axle broke, scaring the horse and throwing the driver some distance. The cart and harness were so badly demolished, when the horse was caught at the Hittle ranch, as to necessitate new ones. In the fourth section of the Washington guards which passed through Gold Hill Wednesday was Joe Pankey, a former resident of this place and whose parents still remain here.
