AMUSEMENTS.

TWO SUPER-WESTERNS. KEN MAYNARD AND GARY COOPER. Admirers of Western romances are due for a regular feast of entertainment at the Crystal Palace to-day, where two big superAVcsicrns arc listed for presentation. One of tho latest Western ''star?," Ken Mayrard, will be seen in "The Devil's Saddle,'' an suitable story to exploit the handsome Maynard. It concerns the pioneer days of the West but does not involve the conventional happenings of a hero and girl which have been told and retold in pictures of the early settler's days. Ken Maynard as the adventuresome cowboy is led through a. hectic pace trying to thwart, a band of land-grabbers, and is affordecJ more than the normal opportunities to thrill and entertain the audience by his trickriding and ficliting. Another Western "staj" new to the screen is Gary Cooper, who will appear in Paramount's exciting- Western special. "The Last Outlaw." wherein the subject is treated fiom an entirely different angle thus affordin;.: varied entertainment. Contrary to what one mav think, Gary Cooper does not enact the title role; "The Last Outlaw" is a woman (Betty Jewell, and it is the star's task to capture her. Needless to say he does, but not before the audience is treated to sequences of exciting and thrilling incidents embodying some entirely new "stunts." Tho programme should piove of more than usual interest and entertainment. The Svmphonv Orchestra, under the tonductorahip of Mr Alfred J. Bunz, will play, among other numbers: "Finlandia" (Sibelius), "Svmphonv Xo. 5" (Tschaikowslcy), "Rhapsodic G Minor" (Dvorak), "Carnival" (Dvorak), "La Danza" (Rossini), "Rider Panman" (Strauss), "Novelette" (Gadc), "Sapho" (Massenet), "Mayfair" (Higgs), "Valse Tristc" (Sibelius). The box plans are at The Bristol Piano Company, where scats mav, be reserved.
