Sporting writers may sing of the lengthy and gory battles of John L. Sullivan, Jem Mace and Jake Kilrain, but Ralph Graves And Tom Kennedy fought for three days all for the scenes in “Alias tho Deacon.” Re net alarmed, however, for all this will not appear in the picture.

It was written by John B. Hymcr, and adapted to the screen by Charles Kenyon. June Marlowe plays tho ingenue lead opposite Graves, with Myrtle Stedman, Lincoln Plummer, Ned Sparks, Maurice Murphy and others in the cast. A topical, latest chapters of “The Fire Fighters,” and comedy. Saturday— 1 ‘Convoy.”
