That’s why they called her the “Cat Claw. ’ She could bite and scratch. .She could also ride anything that ran on four legs, and could shoot the eye out of a needle—and woe to the foolhardy man who crossed her path. Now. come along and meet “The Arizona Cat Claw” Claw?—you bet she can! Fight?—just wait till you see her! Ride?—Ben P'e ley couldn’t show her any points. In any case Edythe—l suppose she's reply Edith, hut her press agent likes that better—is noted international equestrienne. Shoot?—she’s a female Bill Hart. On Thursday a big Universal Feature will be screened entitled “The Flame of Youth” starring Jack Mulhall, a story of youthful love and adventure.
