II IK CYCLONE ft I OKU TO-NIGHT.

" Thu ( yclotie Rider.” directed by Tom Buckingham from his own .scenario based on the smashing story l»v Lincoln J. Carter, is eminently honest melodrama, one of the host of its kind ever produced. And it has a 100 horsepower. six cylinder action plot that never once misses lire. It starts off with a bang—the crack oi a revolver; and ends with wedding hells. In between lies not a dull moment; there’s action, action, more action, swift love, intricate intrigue, high voltage passion, hair-raising humour, hair-breadth escapes, diabolical villainy, plot after plot, and a riot of heart-throbs and romance. Hoed Howes as a structural steel worker, inventor of a racing carburetor and as the cyclonic speed kino oi melodrama, “does his stuff” well and extends himself to the limit and the winning; tape. Nosediving on a swaying girder swung from the twentieth story of a steel skeleton skyscraper. he makes one of the most datum. dizzy rescues ever screened, lie i- buried alive in a dynamited road tunnel. Surefooted as a circus acrobat he walks a steel cable a hundred feet above the pavement! A hired cutthroat cuts one end : catching the cable as he lulls, he swings through midair like it trapey-e artist ami miraculously crashes through a window into the home of the girl he loves just as her marriage is taking place to the doublefaced villain lavored by her rich father, lit* dices with death, not once but a dozen limes. Alma Hennott. as the Only (fill in his cyclonic young life, goes the pace. William Hailey gels away convincingly with the dillicull villain's part and there are notable characterizations by Kvel.vn Brent as a woman of the underworld. Margaret McQuudc, the Cyclone Hitler’s old mother; Frank Ileal, its master builder of skyscrapers ami father of the girl: and Hen IVcley and Charles Conklin as sidesplitting comic darkies. “The ( yclom* Hitler ” is guaranteed good for a thrill a minute.
