The little youngster who carved a niche in the hearts of all picture fans who saw him as “The ’Kid” is said to havo done even greater work in “Peck’s Bay Boy” than he did in the .Chaplin masterpiece, if such a thing can bo possible.

Amid a wilderness the rod skins attacked the emigrant train. The Circle of Death closed slowly in upon the doomed settlers when suddenly from a mountain of rocks close by a fusilade of rifle and revolver fire poured out. The sudden attack demoralised ’the Indians. Endowed with the manner of a. saint and the soul of a wolf. In love, but, blind to the fact that it is mutual. A lull after hours of desperate fighting, but still surrounded by an unseen ring of brown death, the Circle of Death! A comedy, gazette and Burton Holmes travelogue complete a. fine holiday programme.
