AMUSEMENTS.

“FREE AIR.”—TO-XIGHT. “Free Air” the story of a New York society girl who volunteers to accompany her wealthy father on an automobile trip from St. Paul to the Coast. Before leaving she promises a persistent suitor that lie will have his “ Yes ”or“Xo ”on her return. A shiny new “ Xational ” speedster is rolled off a flat ear in the St. Paul railway yards, and the tile trip towards the sunset begins. Two hours out of St. Raul tile action starts—in the little town of Schoenstrom, which is really Roseniont. Atinn., where Milt Daggett presides over the Glacier Trail Garage. All Alilt’s ideas of life were turned topsy-turvy upon the arrival of the girl from the East, and ten minutes after she had purchased an imiertnbe from ids garage, he had turned his establishment over to his assistant, and was speeding westward at the wheel of the weirdest looking “ bug ” that ever

bit the Glacier Trail. How his fortunate arrival rescued Claire and her father from the. clutches of a farmer whose sole activity in life consisted in pulling motorists out of mud holes of his own digging; how every difficulty of the load found him pegging along close I .eliind, resourceful, eager and willing to help; how he intcreferes with the sinister designs of “ Omaha Pete” —all unite in a succession of anticlimaxes seldom met with in a motion picture. The hold-up and attempted abduction of Claire in Glacier Park, tlie mad chase in the speedy roadster

and the dash of “ Omaha Pete ” over a cliff to his richly deserved finish, stand out as broaCh-taking episodes in a picture that, even though you held a stop watch on it, hasn’t a dull or dragging instant. A scenic, Gazette, Sclniek News anti Cartoon will complete a gigantic programme. Usual prices will he charged. Reserves at Atiss AlcTntosh s. Orchestra at 8.15.
