He has appeared in motion pic- tures for many years and it was he, who. with William Farnum in “The Spoilers”, fought what is regarded as the classic of all film fights. Mr. Santschi has played many promi- nent roles, but never, it is said, has he had a more striking part than that of a crook gang leader, provided for him in this picture, which was adapted by Lambert Hillyer, who also directed it. The photography was by Joe August, A. S.C. This is Mr. Santschi’s first appearance in a Hart picture. Ann Little is the leading woman, and the support generally is of the highest grade.

The amount of such re-dis- counts in 1919 was estimated at $719,- 266,000, Mr. Harding reported. The figures include 11 districts as there was no report from the New York reserve bank. Figures given on the amount of credits show 1919, $75,000,000; 1920, $225,000,000. “The special figures furnished by the federal reserve banks in ‘accord- ance with your request,” said Gov- ‘ernor Harding’s letter, “are in all | cases estimate, no exact figures * * * ‘beitg’ available at tne fedral reserve banks.
