- Our photographer in Denver had arranged with the tramway company for a special electric car from the rear of which he was to make a panorama of Sixteenth street, the busiest thoroughfare in the city. The start is made in the heart of the business district, showing the post-office and the famous Tabor Opera House. Swiftly the car moved up the street, when suddenly an officer ran out and tried to stop it. His signal of danger came too late, the speed was too great to stop, and the car pulled across Champa street just as the fire department appeared on an emergency run. First the buggy of Chief Roberts dashed around the corner behind the car and followed it up the street. Then came monster ladder trucks, steamers, hose wagons, chemical engines, and monster nozzles, as well as the mighty water tower, to which six engines are usually attached. They follow the car up the street and finally pass in thrilling procession, The firemen lash their galloping horses and begin taking off their street clothes and don their heavy service garments. The crowds gather, and find there are many narrow escapes from death under horses' hoofs.
- New Year's Day witnessed the first official act in connection with the coming Christian Endeavor convention at Denver. Governor James B. Orman of Colorado met Field Secretary Dr. C. E. Eberman of the Endeavors and warmly complimented him on the great gathering that will take place at Denver next summer. Thirty thousand persons interested in Endeavor work will be present. Gov. Orman met Dr. Eberman on the steps of the Colorado capitol. The city and state officers of the society were also present and received with cordiality. It was a most notable affair for Endeavorers. After the few minutes of pleasantries Dr. Eberman walked toward the camera and bowed to the operator. In the picture he grows more than life size and his pleasant smile and cheery face will be easily recognized for this worker in the good cause is known all over the world and his election to the office of president of the C.E. bodies will probably occur next summer. This film is a wonderful feature to add to a Colorado or church lecture series. It is not expensive but its drawing power is most phenomenal.
- Have you ever heard of Dr. Wright's Wonderful Electric Insoles? "Guaranteed to cure anything the matter with the feet, rheumatism, corns, bunions, also a powerful vitality stimulant, makes you feel young and giddy and alarmingly lively," etc. etc. Our hero, Bill Smith, has something the matter with his feet. He is hobbling along with the aid of a cane one day when his friend, Jim Brown stops him and tells him about Dr. Wright's Electric Insoles and recommends that he buy a pair. Bill is a little skeptical but finally decides to buy a pair. Hobbling into a drug store. Bill purchases a pair of insoles, and, anxious to see how they work, sits down on the sidewalk, removes his shoes and places the insoles inside. He rises to his feet again and the trouble begins. It seems that this pair of electric insoles has been too heavily charged or stimulated; at any rate Bill's feet begin cutting up, and for the life of him he cannot make them behave. With a swoop he is off and though he tries hard enough he cannot stop himself. You have heard of the legendary "Seven-League Boots" and their remarkable speed qualities. The fabulous hero who wore them never ate space faster than Bill did. Bill tries to turn off the motor or shake the shoes but there is nothing doing. He tries to make a speed break of his cane and grabbing the picket of a fence tears out an entire section and deposits it two or three blocks down the street. Two policemen get in his way when the human lightning streak hits them and leaves them sprawling on the ground. Two women come out to beat a carpet and Bill takes them with him. The merry pace continues and Bill, having exhausted every available means to stop himself, finally allows the speed-mad shoes to carry him whither they will. The various pedestrians who have suffered indignities and bumps in collision with Bill have pursued him relentlessly, unable, of course, to keep pace with him, until finally, in crossing the iron lid of a sidewalk manhole, our hero suddenly stops. The manhole lid, it seems, nets as an attracting magnet and holds Bill and his wonderful shoes firmly to the walk. The pursuers arrive on the scene and Bill receives the drubbing of his life. Then they endeavor to tear him from the manhole, but only until he is pulled out of his shoes is the spell broken.
- When nature finished the rest of the world, she took all the colors left on her palette and generously and recklessly threw them into that spot of the earth that is now Colorado (given that name for that very reason). Eventable riot of awe-compelling color, a blending of almost sacred beauty, Colorado is nature's masterpiece. The rainbow and an Italian sunset all frozen into the everlasting hills, the matchless granite hues soothe yet stir one to the unknown depth as their sublime spell falls upon us. We unconsciously acknowledge the majesty of nature and her supremacy over merely human artists. They are psalms and a sermon in stone. As we stand in the Garden of the Gods, looking at the weirdly wondrous figures carved by the great sculptor, we forget our petty cares and paltry woes, our yearnings and our hopes or despairs, our conquests or defeats, for we are in Divine presence, selfishness and avarice are forgotten, for we are with beauty and our own heart and soul and mind become beautified. Colorado's charm is at once an aspiration and an inspiration. Poets of song and nature's genius have been inspired to dream, dare an achievement through the mighty sight of the wonders of nature. Artists have vainly attempted to translate on canvas a picture of picturesque Colorado. Rex has accomplished, with the aid of science, what artists have failed to produce.
- Denver, perched upon the edge of the great western prairie and facing those grand old Rockies. The stock yards with hundreds of cattle; the buffaloes in the park; the handmaids of the city cleaning their regal queen for her daily task; the public baths, the Municipal Theater and the public playgrounds all give an added sparkle and interest to this interesting and instructive picture which closes with a magnificent run of the entire fire department of the City of Denver in action.
- The city of Denver has the best equipped and the most efficient fire department in the world. We do not venture to state that this is because the men of Denver are more valorous or courageous than other humans, but we do imply that it might be due to the effective training school connected with the department in which the firemen are once a month rehearsed in a sham battle with the flames, from the first stage to the last of the fire-fighter's arduous art. The Rex Company locomoted a camera down to Denver and photographed the stirring scenes depicted during one of these dress rehearsals. The engines rush to the scene of bogus peril, and the firemen set to work very earnestly to conquer the imaginary flames. Thrilling rescues are effected, daring risks assumed, danger and death completely disregarded. So is heroism manufactured.

- She was a western girl just out of finishing school going back to her father's big ranch near Denver. He was a young New York bachelor going west to see a little of his own country. He saved her from the unwelcome attentions of a masher in the station, and is it any wonder that they become deeply interested in each other during the long railroad journey westward? Her father was a product of the old west with a contempt for people from the east, whom he considered effeminate and lacking in manhood. But when his daughter pleaded so hard he considered her request and invited her new-found acquaintance to visit them at their big ranch during his stay in Denver. During the young bachelor's visit, their train acquaintance ripens into love, and though he gains the girl's consent, her father ordered him off from the ranch. She made a quick decision and ran out and intercepted the young easterner, and together they drove to the town hall and were married by the Mayor of Denver. When they went back for forgiveness, the young easterner carried in his vest pocket a small but ugly automatic gun, and, though father was ready with a big six-shooter, the young easterner managed to get the drop on father and convince him that the east as well as the west breeds sturdy, self-reliant manhood. So father yielded, under the circumstances, and grew to respect his young son-in-law, much to the delight of his daughter.
